- Jane McGonigal gibt im Rahmen der Game Developers Conference ihr nächstes ARG “World Without Oil“ bekannt: http://www.worldwithoutoil.org/
- Auf der Seite steht:
"We`re preparing for a crisis
Imagine eight people brought together by trouble: trapped together (with thousands of others) in the Denver airport by a blizzard. We had a lot of time on our hands. We talked. We bonded. Awww. How nice.
One thing we talked about a lot: how the Internet scoops the official media. It's real obvious in a crisis. In Denver, as in the Katrina disaster, people found the true story on the Internet. News stories and gumment bulletins can never hope to match the agility of citizen bloggers and mobloggers, nor their honesty of people talking one to another. Internet people are the real first responders today, the boots on the ground.
Now, here's the thing. We eight have come to believe that a crisis is coming – on April 30, to be precise. (An oil shock, or something to do with oil.) We have no proof – it's just something a guy said in an unguarded moment. He may have been putting us on. But we don't think so. We have decided to prepare.
We're getting this website ready to be the nerve center. Come here to get the day-by-day. And this will be the place to tell your story, about your life once the crisis hits. Nobody else can tell your story – you're the authority on that.
If it is an oil shock, no one is going to be unaffected. There will be disruption and suffering, and probably chaos. Having a place to connect with others is gonna be vital. We will be in it together. Nobody should suffer in silence.

Okay, maybe there's only 8 things so far on my list. But when one of them is "save the world", isn't that enough? I mean, really. :-!"
Diese Information führt zur Seite http://www.43things.com/person/mPathytest und folgenden 8 Dingen:
1. save the world
2. finish my novel
3. Sneak into a wedding
4. finish my robot
5. survive my long distance relationship
6. Move to New York City
7. get on battlestar galactica

Dear Ms.________,
I trust you are well. I know you have been busy. Perhaps you remember me? I remember you and your little daughter so well. You seemed frightened of me but you needn't be. I would like to establish your location is valid. It is so hard to trust sometimes, no? Circumstances force us together again. I will be in touch.

Nico says he needs to meet me tonight, says hes in trouble and we (8tsoc) need to help him. He promises that nothing bad will happen, and weird as it sounds, I believe him. Uncle Frank's Army buddy Tom is here, he's going with me and Uncle Frank is going to watch Grace. So don't worry! Gala knows where Im going and I can call her on Toms cell if theres any trouble. We need to find out wtf is up with this guy. After all, w/o him none of us would be here, doing this. YUcky, DONT WORRY!!!!!!!! I will call you and Gala as soon as I can, once I find out what he wants.

- Gracesmom postet in Ihrem Blog folgendes:
Nico's story
mood: guilty
I don't know if I can remember everything he told me but I'll try to get all the important stuff down. He's been on the lam from his company hiding somewhere in Maine. Hes on the run because they are tracking him. They claim he imbezzled money but he says its because he told us what he did and they are mad. I dont understand it all something to do with OPEC and price supports and what he called "milking the old cow dry". He has more info but he needs something in return. The company siezed all his assets, he has nothing but the clothes on his back and a small bag. He uses public internet when he can find it. He wants money from us (8tsoc). We "owe" him. If we hadnt posted that picture (sorry Pachinko!) they would never of connected it to him. There is more to the story that we dont know yet and he will tell us if we help him. He will be in touch with me later to see if we agree but he cant stay in one place long so he's on the road again. He doesnt want us to post any more details about him because the company will track him down. I have told Gala and Yucky the rest of it, but please, dont press us for details yet.
Tom and I gave him what money we had but he says its not enough. I feel so guilty now. Hes in trouble because he tried to warn us and we totally blew it. I think we should help him now.
