Just FYI I created a Vox blog, which will probably be as neglected as my blogger blog. I can't see any posts from Gala_Teah yet, so it didn't make a difference to the game yet. By the way, is Gala, Teah her name? Teah Gala?

And what is 8TSOC?



she has me added as a friend and i dont see any posts either..so unless they are private for her eyes only - she has none so far.

Gala_Teah left a comment on "QotD: Can't Type It Rihgt" on Mar 10, 2007

My favorite typo is "addictive." For some inexplicable reason I always tend to put in 3 d's in a row@!

I love how much discussion and theorizing is going on and the game is still a month and a half from launch Smile


I agree, this looks like a very interesting subject/discussion/arg, that eveyone has an opinion on, can't wait for this one to start.

Argh!!! That show on Link TV..it's called "Greasy Rider" and it's on right now!! It will be on until 11:45 pm central. But, assuming that ya'll arent' going to see this in the next 45 mins, it will be on again tomorrow (Saturday 3/10) at 11:00 am, and 5:00 pm central. It's a really great program, and if you get Link TV, you should really try to catch it!

ooo yes biodiesel! i didnt even think of that, duh, good point!...all that cooking oil. i'm sure it will come up a bit as ideas to toss around in wwo.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiesel/

edit:
also, to be honest, i dont know as much as i should about issues like this so i've been trying to find various sites to gather info...i figured i'd post a few to let anyone else read up to get theories and what not ready since we still have some time Smile

http://www.greatchange.org/ov-thomson,convince_sheet.html
- what he thinks will happen in 10 years when no fuel is available kinda thing...a bit confusing in parts but interesting to read.

http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/mecs/iab/petroleum/page2a.html
- enegry use pie charts.

http://www.oilcrashmovie.com/download.html
- if you want to do a lot of reading on some reports.

and finally,
http://www.beloit.edu/~SEPM/Geology_and_the_enviro/Petroleum_need.html
- made for kids, a quick read, has a looong list of oil based products including things like asprin, eyeglasses, deodorant, telephones, etc etc...just kinda interesting.

Oh yeah...one more thing... Konamouse, again you hit it on the head. Vegetable cooking oil can be used "as is" in diesel engines....no tweaking or treating necessary...just filtering if it's been used. Almost all restaraunts have to pay to have the stuff disposed of, so they are happy to give it away. Free fuel!


I wondered if someone would mention that. I remember a Mythbusters episode that tested it.


Yeah, I saw that one too. However, I'd first heard about it on a show I saw on Link TV...I just wish I could remember the name..grrr!

Re: blogs
here are the vox sites mentioned above - i just looked them up..here are the links:

http://inkyjewel.vox.com/

http://wwo.vox.com/


also, just doing a google search on world without oil you get a lot of news articles (with the same info basically) on this - even mtv has a news blip on it.

Quote:
Near the end of the panel, McGonigal announced her next ARG, previewed at WorldWithoutOil.org. Launching April 30, it will challenge gamers in 30 parts of the U.S. to blog and otherwise communicate their experiences in an imaginary America where the oil supply has dried up. In the process of playing, gamers may be blogging about how they planned a wedding to which no guests could travel in vehicles requiring oil-based fuels. "What is dating like?" she asked. "What is cooking like?" The goal is to get people thinking and maybe even generating new energy-saving strategies, all just by playing. "I'm looking at this as a game that changes reality," she said.

Found blogs, on VOX, for both inky_jewel and Gala_Teah.

Gala_Teah's profile shows that it was created in Jan and inky_jewel's shows Feb. The pics tie-in with wwo, though of course that doesn't necessarily mean that this is them. Both have recently been updated, but none have public posts - and presumably won't have until April 30.

I'm going to try and contact g/t - You never know what might happen.

Welcome to ARG!
Putting PM names out like that would be breaking the curtain. Theoretically, all writing and postings are part of the BTS (Behind the Scenes) team. Some or all may also be PMs (Puppet Masters aka the authors, designers, etc of the game).

maybe featured characters or supporting roles.

PM's even?

(if that last comment is too unrealistic, let me know, as i am very new to all of this)

Could Dessum9 & mPathytest be the children or pets of YuckyMuck and not really counted as part of the discussion? So then we are back to 8.
