The Gnostics were supposed to sacrifice and eat children.
The Albigensians, the Catharsis, it seems to be a storyline that can be repurposed for any new enemy.
I keep coming back to the fact that Q has a pretty heavily Christian bent. I know the story line is that its a defense official, but thats DOE badging, not DOD. More importantly in New Testament research Q is the name given the shared source material for Mathew and Luke. Its just too cozy, especially when you understand that Q is short for the German word quelle, or source. It seems to scream hoax.
You can go on and on, but the author is correct this is an ARG, and the participants dont know theyre hooked. On the other hand it is advertising and profit driven. Moving enough players to make perverted real world decisions will help secure money, power and prestige for the game developers.
