July,05:Killer 7 SINdicate originated as a
sub section of a failed Megaten site.
At first I only started K7 SIN as my own personal log containing
all the information that I have obtained during game play. (Mostly
political.)
What was rather akward was that shortly after I noticed a sudden
influx of hits to my failed Megaten site.
The majority of the hits were predictably coming from the Killer 7
page I made.
It was then that I decided that I should finally give a name for
the K7 section.
I was originally going to call the site "Harman's room", but I
conviently came up with the catchy name "Killer 7 SINdicate".
(I was playing a series of import games called "Oneechanbara" which was a play on words for both
Sister & sword fight, which was were I got the influence
from.)
August,05:I moved K7 SIN to it's own server at Tekcities.com, and officially
opened K7 in 8/28/05.
While the site did manage to attain a respectable amount of traffic
at first, as well as being displayed in the front page of Hardcore
Gaming 101, & mentioned in the link permissions section of
the ShockleyHaynes plot faq.
The traffic didn't last once Tekcities died.
I assume most people thought that K7 SIN went away with it, but a
month later K7 SIN came back on Sitesled.
Jan.,06:Things were looking rather grim as K7 SIN remained in a
near death state.
I was considering closing up shop for good.
Until I got a mail from the webmaster of Manhunt Uncut that
convinced moi that K7 SIN had potential.
So he convinced moi & he even vouched for K7 SIN itself to his
webhost,Game Devotion for hosting at their server.
After that a sequence of events occurred where I would work my ass
off in order to make K7 SIN more presentable to the public.
Let's just say that every Video game server on the net turned down
K7 SIN with disgust or with a mere cold shoulder. (I believe this
was done in order to avoid coming off as rude.)
I can't blame them though, I wouldn't want to waste my hard earned
cash on a Killer 7 website either if the current state of K7 SIN is
any indication.
It should be noted if it weren't for the constant assurance from
fellow web masters that K7 SIN had potential I would've given up on
the site long ago
When I officially opened K7 SIN in August,05.
I've always had a personal deadline in mind to have the site fully
established by July,06.
I originally applied for hosting with Gamespy,but they flatly
rejected on the grounds that K7 SIN was not in English & it
appeared to be in Japanese. Click thumbnail in order to enlarge

March - April,06: To
make the long story short back in March,06
I decided to reapply with Gamespy just for the hell of it....
Surprisingly I received a confirmation mail saying that K7 SIN has
been approved for hosting.
IMO I believe it was out of pure luck that K7 SIN was actually
considered.
Since one of the individuals who was sitting next to the site
reviewer was familiar with the Killer 7 game.
I'm not sure how relevant that is though.
My guess is, as an individual who has experienced K7 first hand
they must've noticed that K7 SIN was going for a chaotic like style
of presentation & vibe much similar to the actual game.
What was even more shocking, is that Gamespy actually allowed K7
SIN to keep it's explicit chaotic ness intact, as long as I place
an adequate warning page in front of the actual site.
(In case you were wondering, no K7 SIN does not have a warning page
to be cool, it's an actual command that I must abide by or at least
respect.) Click thumbnail in order to enlarge

note: I edited my name & sign up url out of the
pic.
Current:Unfortunately it's that very same brand of K7 SIN's trademark
chaotic like style of presentation that happens to be K7 SIN's
downfall.
Since only individuals who have played Killer 7 before would
understand the approach that I was going for.
Everybody else will either be confused by a layout that
intentionally breaks every single established web design conventions, or out right offended
by the content contained in K7 SIN.
As a result of the explicit nature of the site most Video game web
sites wish not to involved or associated with K7 SIN at all.
I even have a hard time trying to find a fellow Gamespy
affiliate.
This does not only apply to web masters,
as it even extends to regular web surfers whom get disgusted with
K7 SIN.
(K7 SIN was linked at several top link sites, but I took them all
down once it became apparent that every time that K7 SIN made the
top 10...
Most individuals would score K7 SIN a 1 out of 5/10 & claim
utter nonsense such as "Nothing special" http://killer7.6.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=93
I find that a little hard to swallow though since I rarely ever see
any websites on the web that have as much content as K7, but ah
well that's the way the cookie crumbles.
Although K7 SIN has now established a permanent base of operations,
the site & forum itself go by largely ignored & are quite
frequently uninhabited.
Which is quite odd since I often receive a lot of positive
feedback regarding K7 SIN.
(This is the irony of Killer 7 SINdicate it is as despised &
loved as the actual game "Killer 7".
Although there are quite a few who appreciate the work that I'm
doing, there are hundreds more who would wish that K7 SIN just die
already. In effect, it already has....
K7 SIN now lives on as the
NIGHT OF THE LIVING ILL
Starting in January 22, 2008. K7 SIN has decided to eschew it's former focus on Killer 7's politics, and has now branched off into being a general Suda 51/ Grasshopper manufacture site.
In May 2009 the site was
officially passed to a new webmaster, Xed51.
In September 2009 K7SIN was killed
in the Name of Gamespy, and its spirit ascended to PARADISE, in the Hotel
51.

Purpose of Killer 7
SINdicate: Killer 7 is more of a collection of themes, and
ideas rather than an actual fable.
It's often a bit problematic to collect all the ideas & themes
as a single entity.
Killer 7 has very diverse source material to work with.
You can make a fan site covering any angle you want.
From Philosophical, Psychological, Political, Mythical, Conspiracy,
Super natural, Symbolism ,Cultural references, Subliminal
brainwashing, Rant about how badass the story is, or all of the
above.
Killer 7 SINdicate
strives for the conspiracy theory & political angle.
Conspiracy theories are loosely based on politics.
K7 SIN mainly concentrates on the politics between U.S.A. &
Japan,
because IMO it's the only part of the game that doesn't rely on
conjecture, theories & assumptions.
It also requires the least amount of sleuthing.
(Much of the politics that occurs in Killer 7 seem to loosely
mirror the real life U.S.A. & Japan.)
In other words geopolitics of Killer 7 is the only information
about the game that could be considered concrete,& etched in
stone.
It is also K7 SIN's desire to cover most if not all of Suda 51's
main games.
(Moonlight Syndrome,FSR,Silver Case,ETC.)
Starting in 2008,. K7 SIN has decided to eschew it's former focus on Killer 7's politics, and has now branched off into being a general Suda 51/ Grasshopper manufacture site.
The K7 SINdicate
are:
Current Webmaster: Xed
AKA Xed51
The current owner of Killer7 SIN. He used to be the only italian fan of
Suda51, but he escaped Italy after seducing and killing an innocent
girl during a night of Moonlight Syndrome. He was then arrested,
& put in a brand new stock body after being brainwashed by ELBOW.
Ex-Webmaster: Kirby 7 AKA Topdrunkee Tha
ILLnificent He's
the creator, the architect behind the SINdicate.
Responsible for the completely F'ed up layout,& majority of the
content.
Rumoured to have BRK'd (beat, raped,
& killed) three fairly attractive big (+ Y +), big ( Y )
whores
during the night of the Silver Case murders, and has sought solace at Hotel Flower, Sun, & Rain.
In order to elude from the hit contracted to the Killer7.
Some have speculated that this isolated incident was a direct after
effect of the Moonlight
Syndrome...
It's become quite apparent to
us now, that there are indeed NO MORE
