So, what is going on here?

http://argtalk.squarespace.com/watch-this-space/
A Brand new ARG Talk is coming soon!

The last ARGTalk update was on Thursday, September 29, 2005 at 07:28AM, i.e. well after the game ended.

The rebirth of ARGtalk the meta-site? Sure taking their time though.

Just out of a morbid hope that this had a false ending like UH did, I decided to check out the ARGTalk site today. The layout is different.

Hey all!

I enjoyed this one very much. I was fortunate to be the solver of two main puzzles in it, which was really a first for me.

Kudos and congrats to the PM team!

Awww, Tephi. I agree... I made the joke in irc last night that if this is anything like UH was, we will continue to get odd clues in odd ways, maybe even fine one or two new websites, for a week or two, then find out that A Fan paid off Addle, Dave, and Cater to pretend to be the PMs while he killed ARGTalk and Suzee... and then pretended to be ARGTalk to close the website.

LOL

This has been the first ARG that I have been able to follow from beginning to finish, and the experience has been a pleasurable one (even if spent mostly lurking), so bravo to the PMs! Short but sweet, and I especially enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek incorporation of META-stuff into the game itself. The rabbit hole was excellent, the story amusing and brilliantly twisting , the ending slightly unexpected (not to say rushed, presumably to coincide with ARGfest? I'm not sure, though, if this is a minor point of criticism or not).

The biggest plus has to be the characterisation: entirely realistic and believable, and well-rounded enough (with the possible exception of A Fan himself, but I guess that was intentional) to merit a game that went on for much longer than it has (but that wisely did not). This probably accounts for my present feeling that this is not really over yet...

Please have a PM chat (and PLEASE, not in the middle of the night!).

Congrats! Leave your congrats for the PM's here.

Congrats indeed. The team here managed to create what was, for the community, undeniably the most brilliant trailhead I've ever seen. A three month pre-game that no-one even knew was anything to do with it until it launched into a beautiful, short, snappy game.

The only thing I would say, as a slight constructive criticism, is that there seemed to be a slight lack of player interaction with the story: now that it's over, I do have the slight feeling that no matter what part I played in this game, the story would have played out the same regardless.

Still, it's a minor criticism. Excellent stuff.

Congrats! Leave your congrats for the PM's here.

Man.... I'd been telling everyone how much this felt like UH... And there was that dream i had, about Addle being the pm.... And then I'm too busy getting my pic with her today in my "I helped kill ed vargas" shirt and i miss the end credits because i'm in the hallway. LOL, it figures. Anyway, you people HAVE to keep making games for me, er, i mean us... yeah... us.

Love, admiration... When's the pm chat????

Congrats! Leave your congrats for the PM's here.

I was sort of like a Neal Stephenson novel very good at the start and middle but weak a ending. It was fun.
