I never said it was proof, and as I recall I did say it was contraversial...
“The code is a silly snake-oil hoax.”
“The code is evil”
The arguments you give do more to prove my point than you may think, but first...

What in Sam's hell are you babbling about?
You are not making any sense...and if you haven't noticed I only respond "positively" towards "those who make sense".
You don't even have to agree with me...you...just...have...to...make...sense.
It is very simple.
"nothing profound or educational" comes from loosely stringing together a few unrelated words of gibberish and then leaving it at that.
Please...I am not a star-child looking for my new cult leader.
I am your peer on this planet and not a fan of hogwash.
Care to make your words "make sense" for me?
I'm slow...so make it REALLY clear.

No...you THINK it is clear enough.
In reality it is psycho-babble that you use to "sound deep" or "insightful"
Sadly it comes off as "lowly ignorance" and "silly talk" from someone who only recently learned to "share ideas with others".
If you can't be clear...you can't be understood.

I'm a human, sent here to watch you, gradually shift your perceptions and cause you to either save or destroy yourselves. I might've been an 'alien' at some point. But from my perspective there are no aliens. Just people from different worlds, living lives that are in some way connected, but strewn apart across time, gradually coming closer and closer together. When our lives finally meet things will change for you, just as it will for them.

Collective intelligence is a shared or group intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals. Collective intelligence appears in a wide variety of forms of consensus decision making in bacteria, animals, humans, and computer networks. The study of collective intelligence may properly be considered a subfield of sociology, of business, of computer science, of mass communications and of mass behavior—a field that studies collective behavior from the level of quarks to the level of bacterial, plant, animal, and human societies. The concept also frequently appears in science fiction as telepathically linked species and cyborgs.

FINALLY! Took you three posts to be "clear".
Was that so hard?
Ok...so on to my questions.
What makes you "think" you are here to "watch me" (unless you mean watch everyone, and I am just included).
If you also "think" you are here to gradually "shift my perceptions" to make humans "save or destroy themselves"? And what makes you think you have the power do change diapers, never mind "people's minds"?
Third...with a name like "angrysniper" what is to make me think you "are not a misguided whelp" or a nut-job?

Angry Sniper seems to be a rather prominent character in the futuristic world of Year Zero. He's featured in the BallgameOver.mp3 as well as on the Consolidated Mail Systems website. He also appears to be the one running the Be the Hammer site.
It is speculated by some that Angry Sniper is voiced by Trent Reznor himself...though others believe that it is the voice of Corey Taylor - singer for Stone Sour/Slipknot.
Lastly...three posts from you, over 500 words, and still...you have said nothing.
Is your mouth trying to emulate another orifice of your body, or am I just mistaking your "communication" for "excrement"?

Ok. So you are a “human” but not from this planet, yes? That makes you an alien. We Terrans use the word alien to describe any living organism that is introduced into an environment that it did not originate from.
I am a human, born on earth, by two human parents. The contentious issue is what defines 'alien', biological distinctions or distinctions of consciousness?
You might be of the same species, but you’re not from round these parts, so you are, by definition, an alien.
Surely you realize the varying definitions of that word?
In the context that we are having this discussion I was under the impression that it was assumed that 'alien' referred to a biological entity with components not of this world. By that definition, no, I am not an 'alien', nor is anyone else who professes to be. Those of us who are 'alien' in the sense that I am describing will not go around claiming to be, nor do I. I am human, as human as you are.
I'm a human, sent here to watch you, gradually shift your perceptions and ALLOW FOR you to either save or destroy yourselves.
Cause us to either destroy or save ourselves? Cause?
Why would you want to make us destroy ourselves? That’s not very beneficent, is it?
Oh, or are you one of these aliens – sorry, non Terran Humans – who looks down on us from a lofty pedestal of spiritual and technological superiority?
Precisely. We are spiritually superior, by definition, because we have chosen to make sacrifices to be here with you now, in order to help you. The choice of whether or not our help will be eventually used to help or hinder your development is entirely up to humanity. We do not directly interfere with your development. The textbook 'aliens' who are here in non-terran bodies only interfere with the development of earth in a protective, caretaking fashion. They may prevent your world from facing an early extinction by redirecting a celestial body that may otherwise strike this world, or a satellite of this world that would cause a catastrophic series of events that would effectively push your development back hundreds of millions of years. Other than that, we do not interfere.
I might've been an 'alien' at some point.
By that I meant that I may, at some point in 'my' existence, have been a being with a quite dissimilar biology to that of humans on Earth. That is purely speculation, and is irrelevant to this discussion because any consciousness may occupy whatever form is suitable for a particular lifetime. Some forms are more suited to much longer lifespans, on the verge of thousands of years, some shorter lifespans, such as humans.
Thought you weren’t an alien? Now you might have been? I’m a little confused here…
Hopefully my last comment clarified what I was attempting to convey.
But from my perspective there are no aliens.
Apart from the one that you’re not, but might have been… Ok.
Just people from different worlds, living lives that are in some way connected, but strewn apart across time, gradually coming closer and closer together.
Very nice sentiment. Hopefully true, too. But that touching attitude doesn’t really gel with either your ATS username – which suggests distant and aggressive attacks (perfect for an internet troll) - or your condescending response to Mr Mask, who was, after all, only asking questions. If are to grow, surely we should ask questions?
Some of his statements, as well as questions, conveyed the feeling of an incitement to argument, which is what I'm trying to avoid. I did not intend to be condescending, however if I was, I apologize.
When our lives finally meet things will change for you, just as it will for them.
Ok. Perhaps I’m being pedantic here; I get the “our” reference in that quote – as in us Terrans and “your people” ie aliens that aren’t – and the “you” as in, well, us Humans from planet Earth - but who’s the third type; “them”?
Or did you mean us as in “your people”?
By that I meant a public first contact between beings not of this world and humanity. It had no personal relationship to me, nor any human on this world who 'isn't from around here', as you put it.

Posting in this thread most surly PROVES you react to immaturity...silly head.
Ok...anyways...back to more questions.
So...you bring knowledge huh? Why have you not shared any yet? You are 4 posts deep into your pointless little interaction here, and all you have made clear are-
"a few definitions of base words"
and
"that you play video games".
An alternate reality game (ARG), is an interactive narrative that uses the real world as a platform, often involving multiple media and game elements, to tell a story that may be affected by participants' ideas or actions.
The form is defined by intense player involvement with a story that takes place in real-time and evolves according to participants' responses, and characters that are actively controlled by the game's designers, as opposed to being controlled by artificial intelligence as in a computer or console video game. Players interact directly with characters in the game, solve plot-based challenges and puzzles, and often work together with a community to analyze the story and coordinate real-life and online activities. ARGs generally use multimedia, such as telephones, email and mail but rely on the Internet as the central binding medium.
Help me out...I for one DO NOT play video games...so forgive me if playing Year Zero is mandatory for "understanding you".
I really would like to believe that you are "so deep" that what you are saying is going over my head...but in rereading your posts...I can't help but see that you have "posted nothing" but mumbo jumbo and rhetoric best saved for some "Twilight fans" around their very first beer.
Now tell me...oh great watcher...oh mighty shifter of perception...tell me just what it is that you "do" to alter people's minds and ways to help us either "destroy" or "save" themselves.
Because from where I am sitting...it looks like you are more apt at finding your elders and pestering them with your pointlessness.
Comon now...you have been called out to make some sense...now make it.
Shift my perceptions or quit your job of doing so.
Oh...and this thread is about hoaxers" pretending to be aliens.
Not "NIN fans trying to be deep and failing".
Thanks in advance for the "shift in my perception".

Sigh...move along "nutter"...you dug your cyber-grave, and it is best left unmarked so nobody makes the mistake of noticing where you "lie".
I went and did some reading of your other threads...funny how those are written in the typical tones of a "air headed youth" with little or no "attention span" and "flightly thought patterns"
Remember the one you wrote about the BOOMING VOICE out of thin air! OH MY! How amazing your life is when put down for us to read...
Yeah...anyways...I notice your other threads don't have this self-important tone of condescending alieness, like you have here.
Are you playing cops-and-aliens this week, or do you only break out the sooth-sayer tone when posting in threads about aliens, and save the "420-whoooa-dude" talk for all other threads and Xbox-live chats?
You make me chuckle...you actually think you are spiritually "superior" then others...that is SO spiritual! Oh dear me, Mr ANGRYSNIPER, tell me how did you get so over-evolved while feeding your "Id" all those shoot-em-up V-games!?
Look...short story long...you are a fool to think a few sentences "without meaning" would inflict even a moment's "seriousness" here, or anywhere.
You want me to think a fan of Nine-Inch-Nails who goes by the screen-name of "angry sniper" is a spiritual elite from another star system?
Seriously man...you couldn't get a job at Wal-mart with that crap, never mind :getting anyone to shift perceptions on anything".
Unless of course...you mean to shift my perceptions on NIN fans?
Because I usually find fans of that band to be slightly smarter then you are presenting yourself here.

If you would like to address a point that you think is a "lie" I would be happy to comment on it.

I am happy that you find my posts to have a sense of youthfulness, I take that as a compliment because these days I feel far from youthful.
Remember the one you wrote about the BOOMING VOICE out of thin air! OH MY! How amazing your life is when put down for us to read...
Yes, that was a particularly disturbing event in my life, though I don't see how that is relevant to a discussion about whether or not 'aliens are here to save you.'
Yeah...anyways...I notice your other threads don't have this self-important tone of condescending alieness, like you have here.
I do not consider myself important, and you continually point out that you feel that I do, and once again I do not see how my own importance is relevant to the topic at hand. If this is going to descend into personal attacks than I will refrain from participating in this discussion. If I have somehow made you feel threatened in some way, I apologize.

I'm not a fan of console gaming, however I do enjoy PC games.
You make me chuckle...you actually think you are spiritually "superior" then others...that is SO spiritual! Oh dear me, Mr ANGRYSNIPER, tell me how did you get so over-evolved while feeding your "Id" all those shoot-em-up V-games!?
I didn't really feed my Id, but I did increase my spatial awareness and I do feel it has also increased my marksmanship with iron sights, as well as my ability to multitask. I highly suggest FPS games if you're looking for a way to sharpen your memory and concentration. Once again, what does this have to do with the topic at hand?
Look...short story long...you are a fool to think a few sentences "without meaning" would inflict even a moment's "seriousness" here, or anywhere.
I don't want to call you a fool, but you appear to be the one incapable of maintaining seriousness or decorum, much less maturity.
You want me to think a fan of Nine-Inch-Nails who goes by the screen-name of "angry sniper" is a spiritual elite from another star system?
In psychology, they refer to this as projecting.
Seriously man...you couldn't get a job at Wal-mart with that crap, never mind :getting anyone to shift perceptions on anything".
I'm not looking for employment right now, actually.
Unless of course...you mean to shift my perceptions on NIN fans?
Because I usually find fans of that band to be slightly smarter then you are presenting yourself here.
Well I'm glad you have a good opinion on NIN fans, but don't let me affect that perception.
