Incitatus passed along some sad news the other day.

Cu Roi, aka The Ouroboros, aka LT CMDR Case sent me an email on april 5th.

He did not say much (understandably, as hova put it, this "falls beyond the realm of notification") but he directed me to several links and identified the family as part of his own.

I have personally offered him my condolences and number…to talk if he wants to.

News links included in the email:

I've been working lately on converting the entire site over to a WordPress backend. One easily-spotted benefit is that the entire main site will now be contained in a searchable database. I've managed to get the directory organization fairly close to the original site design and may be able to tweak it even more to make the transition as seamless as possible. I'm a little worried about old deep links out there from the last three years getting broken, but doing my best to mitigate the issue as much as possible.

Of course, it was all a joke. Come on, we're crazy but we're not…that…yeah, um, we have nowhere to go with this. We're pretty damn crazy.

We hope you enjoyed our little bit of fun, brought to you by SpaceBass, Jamesi, ScarpeGrosse, Gupfee, and the indomitable Wishi-san.

A new Canadian-based ARG launched tonight, tied into a television show that airs on the premium "Movie Central/The Movie Network" cable channel. Certain Canadian members recieved an odd mailing tipping them off ahead of time to a bioengineering company that may have inadvertently started a plague worse than the world has seen in years. The television show and the online ARG (or Extended Reality Game, as it is referred to on the show's meta-site) closely parallel each other as far as events. Tonight, the show premiered and players were invited to join a private group investigating the plague, a disease dubbed the Miranda Virus.

Canadians take heed! Head over to ScienceSucks.com and join in the fight, and talk about your findings in our new Regenesis category on the Unforums!
