Super 8 ARG

[xombiekitty]

Hey CG critters *waves*
While I'm still new to ARGs, having jumped onboard the tail end of The Dark Knight campaign (remember the awesome Joker versions of websites?), and found my feet on Tron Legacy's Flynn Lives, I am completely in love with them as an engrossing manner to get hyped up for an upcoming film. This is surely not a surprise to you all since I talked endlessly about Flynn Lives and a bunch of you jumped on for the fun too, or in some cases, I met you through the ARG itself

Well I knew stuff was happening for the upcoming JJ Abrams film Super 8 but I have been at a loss as to how to get involved, plus with organising the Chaotic Geek Tron Legacy Deluxe Screening, I really couldn't split me attention away too much.
The good news is, after a hard slog through many websites I finally signed up to http://www.rocketpoppeteers.com
I didn't know if I was too late or not, but it appears that it's all still a go!
I got an email response requesting that I fill out a questionnaire and I got all excited to know I was finally onbaord!

Sharing my excitement on twitter, eolith informed me about SAVER Corp.
Head to http://saver.co/ and check out the site.
You know you want to get involved: http://saver.co/get-involved/
If you want to apply, hurry! It closes Saturday (US time) & I have no idea if it will reopen at any point! http://saver.co/apply.php
eolith said to list your RPG history when submitting your application and, since I know a large number of you are gamers, that shouldn't be hard.
I wrote an epically long piece, and I still forgot stuff (have been constantly going "Oh! I forgot this... I should have listed that!".

Of course, I will update you guys when I know more, but I'd love for fellow CG critters to be jumping in on this with me!
As far as I can tell you don't need to apply to both, but I think it's more fun if you jump in to everything whole heartedly!
There are different Fleets with Rocket Poppeteers & different Divisions with SAVER Corporation, so it'll be brilliant to see where we all end up

For anyone who hasn't seen the trailer at one of the events we've shown it during, or have missed it online, here is the Super 8 Teaser:

So did any other CGers sign up to this beyond myself, ZenBubble & eolith?

While we haven't received anything further from Rocket Poppeteers, we've already been given a few tasks to do for SAVER Corp.

ZenBubble is in the Research division, eolith is in the Development division, and I'm in the Media division.
You can read about what agents from all divisions have been working on here: http://saver.co/2011/01/new-area-denial-device-set-to-showcase-saver-corporations-superiority/

... yes, I'm thrilled to have my Media Release published on the site

I hope some other CGers joined up, and if anyone wants to take part but missed the sign-up date, I'll post again if it re-opens in the future!

Make sure you head over to http://www.rocketpoppeteers.com at least so that you can be ready for any of the fun that should come from there
