"Solve" the puzzle at Qamu.com and you just may get your chance. A third-generation group is recruiting potential puppetmasters for an upcoming campaign. Good luck!

Added yet more tools and clarified some rumors. Updated credits.

First off, QBKooky corrects yesterday's post about the new startup, Codename:Constellation. The story revolves around a journalism major at the University of Oregon. QBKooky also provides a nice blurb and points out that:

Due to some statistical (and email) reasons, you must join the group to play. You have until May 30 to sign up, and you could join later, but I would recommend joining early to start "getting into" the game.

'Muda let us know that the Majackass site is likely a parody left over from the Majestic community. He also left us with this tip:

HiddenAlliance is a work in progress. The flash splash is a placeholder for the domain at this time. The PM's are a group of Majestic community developers who were frustrated with the way Majestic was deployed.

I'd expect it to be some time before there's any noteworthy activity. HA is about at the point now where Lockjaw was when Wired mentioned it back in November.

So there you have it, it looks like HiddenAlliance may go live around September 2002. Of course, we'll keep you updated.

QBKooky posted the following announcement to the Cloudmakers list today:

Okay, I have been working a lot, and it's ready. For those of you who are interested in participating in my puzzle, go and sign up at Yahoo!

It officially starts May 30, and I am planning to do it over an 8 week period.

According to the signup group listed above, this is a web puzzle being run by a journalism major at the University of Oregon. It's an interesting approach for the game designer to control the players' group. I wonder if it's required that you join this particular group in order to play.
