For all those budding sleuths out there I need you to answer me a question, who or what is Neurocam? I know this may sound simple, but believe me these people weave a mysterious web.

Paxton what is your RL location? I am curious how whatever it is is going to differ from what Ace gets. And when our assignments start to get different.

It seems like a lot of you are receiving the same crap. It sounds like a bunch of hype just to get people involved in whatever it is.

After about an hour or so of research over the past few days I have found many "ideas" (emphasis on ideas) that have surrounded Neurocam.

1. It is a game.
2. It is someone having fun with its participants minds (thus the mind thing) by making them do random tasks. (i.e. putting pictures in books - some takes the picture and puts it somewhere else - someone else takes the pic and puts it somewhere else - etc.)
3. The whole thing is some real organization.(though the site says they do nothing illegal)


Has anyone just tried e-mailing them with a ton of questions?

One of the most interesting points I've heard relating to Neurocam is "that you have some of the most rewarding experiences doing things that you wouldn't normally do". I must admit this has been creepy/fun since it started and I'm going to see where it takes me, and kicking and screaming I'm gonna take you with me. When I can! If I can!, or if Neurocam says I can! or maybe not. OK, we'll just see what happens

I also signed up, and received the email saying my application is being reviewed.
Given the fact that I simply gave them my email address and age, along with country I lived in, there is NO way this can be anything BUT a game. In today's technological world of fake email addresses and internet cafes, there's no way for a company, whether it's funded by a governmental agency or not, to do any sort of background check based on that little information. But I'll keep you informed, just like everyone else who is trying it!

Anyone, especially someone with enough know-how to run their own server, can get your IP address, which can give them a good deal of information.

Right, IF you're signed on from a personal computer- not a work or public computer (i.e. a library or internet cafe.)

Faeryshan, you can do it. If a person wanted to, they can find you. Credit records are the easiest way, but there are others. Just remember that the IP address, though not identifying you, does pinpoint your whereabouts at that time. Between that, the supplied information, and a phone directory, you very likely be found by someone sufficiently motivated.

I know that it can be done, I suppose I'm more thinking along the lines that an company (or whatever) based out of Melbourne is not hiring for some top-secret job, government or not, over the internet. It has to be a game or some sort of hoax.
