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.

TBird--I wondered the same thing the other day. Surely the lack of recent activity on this message means they've all been brainwashed? ;)

I'm intrigued by this Neurocam thing. I read up on several sites about this and (if the information wasn't planted by the Neurocam people) the assignments generally sound pretty wild (after the initial questionnaire and description of five hours on a particular date).

Ace, can you tell us any more about that Magus assignment? It sounded like it bored you.

I was thinking of signing up, but the assignments I read about (for example spraypainting a Neurocam billboard and putting red stickers on art in as many galleries as possible) sound like opportunities for some people (Neurocam) to get strangers to perform risky pranks rather than assignments which lead anywhere.

*gasps in horror* STICKERS ON ART? Please, please, please--if Neurocam asks you to do this--don't. It could ruin the art--especially paintings.

Good Heavens above! I wouldn't for the life of me get involved. Look at this!

Sounds like madness. I would only join something if I knew exactly what it was, and if I knew for sure it wouldn't get ever do something to anger the law.

Creepy stuff. Why do they just let anybody join?
it dosn't make sense. I would like to figure out who in blazes they are, but I'll have to figure out just how, before I really can.

So what was exactly the assignment concerning "The Magus" ?

Initially 'The Magus' assignment was quite exciting, I mean as much as slipping a Neurocam card into a book can be. But it was more "is anybody watching" that sort of stuff that made it exciting. The only problem was I had to do it six times and the book becomes increasingly hard to find. It just isn't in every bookstore. Other that the traipsing around covering huge distances in the car and on foot I guess it was OK.

Hmm, that doesn't sound like a bad assignment at all. I would love any excuse to visit a bookstore. ;)

Maybe I *will* sign up after all.

I followed those links above and--jinkies! Those nigerian emails certainly were...interesting. I still (somehow) that this can't be real without the government's internet watchdogs knowing about it. Nieve?
