[10:04] it seems all the documents we worked to unlock were meaningless [10:04] thats my take too [10:05] the end was "yes I'm arclight" Whack! the nend. [10:05] -n [10:05] the heist plans? [10:05] yes [10:05] never going to happen [10:05] they were tossed aside effectively [10:05] so... what exactly happened at the party last night? [10:05] not much [10:05] emile's motive for murdering ppl was just to piss virgil off? [10:05] well, we never really believed it would happen? [10:06] alientate Nisha and drive him madder [10:06] hmmm [10:06] right, but if it were real, there would be people on the line [10:06] no there had to be a bigger motive [10:06] plans in place [10:06] if so, we don't have it [10:06] unless it's still locked away in those last 2 puzzles [10:07] well, in-game did the people really die?

[10:09] that is virgil alright :) [10:09] yeah, because Virgil never gave him credit for making TatumThink great [10:09] the murders never made sense to me actually [10:09] I love the vidio of nisha hitting emile with laptop [10:10] morning everyone [10:10] it's going to be a persistant fantasy of mine now whenever someone's talking shit in a meeting [10:10] heh [10:10] Hi nick [10:10] hi [10:10] hi Nick [10:11] so the game we played was the ouroborus one. with the plans as just the thing we had to pursue because that was what nisha was following.. [10:12] we never got a report from San Diego though did we? [10:12] not yet [10:12] HHM did a mini report [10:12] but not from Nisha [10:12] no [10:12] what does ouroborus mean? [10:12] stolen A3 most likely [10:13] it's a symbol of a snake eating its tail [10:13] k [10:13] represents circular something or other [10:13] cycle of this and that [10:13] virgil talks about the electronic ouroborus [10:13] some stuff [10:13] :) [10:13] so did V kill Naoko or what? [10:13] no [10:13] no idea [10:14] probably not [10:14] virgil never killed anyone [10:14] I still don't know why people thought he killed Naoko, oh the relationship issues [10:15] rampant spec I suppose [10:15] I didn't think about all the information being useless about the heist [10:16] maybe because i didn't try to solve any of those puzzles [10:16] they were too hard for me [10:16] lol [10:16] really there was a lot of filler here [10:16] I've got to go, I'm going to start a 'what happened' thread on unfiction when I get a chance [10:16] bye adam [10:17] thanks [10:17] good idea [10:17] yes [10:17] * Quits: madamo (~icechat5@14ef3beb.1366b407.mclnva23.covad.net) (Quit: I cna ytpe 300 wrods pre mniuet!!!)

[11:50] took SO many pictures [11:50] my pleasure, and thank rowan for putting it up [11:50] np [11:51] a funny thing: when Kane, Kane's friend, DS, and I entered the party, I saw one of the "TatumThink people" and I was thinking "I totally KNOW that guy" but couldn't place him [11:51] what about the music celly [11:51] cool [11:51] looking forward to seeing your pics. Would like it even better if someone would put up a picture of you. I haven't seen one since that hazing thing on that ship. [11:51] after the reveal, I found out who he was... Dave, i.e. Cabalagent :-) [11:51] lol [11:51] lol [11:51] btw, he wrote all the puzzles [11:51] including the Evil Cube! [11:52] did he? They were very good. [11:52] I punched him for that one :-) [11:52] by hand no less, so says HHM [11:52] giggle [11:52] he gave me some hints on the unsolved puzzles [11:52] I'll see if I can remember them... damn I got home late! [11:52] i knew he had done a bunch of the puzzles - i wasn't sure that he had done all of them [11:52] for one, all the individual letters in the Evil Cube make a word, or words [11:52] the puzzles were great [11:53] what do you mean? if we listed them all out? [11:53] the plant homework - something about certain plant names make a German word [11:53] hmm [11:53] the elements? [11:53] the melting point homework - melting points make a binary [11:53] damn german [11:53] dang it, we tried that [11:53] the numbers [11:54] yeah, I'm sadly not clear on those, I can only remember the hints [11:54] so we still have unsolved stuff on the cube? [11:54] maybe it depends how many decimal places you get the melting points to ... [11:54] rose, for instance how the letter "K" was prevelant in one of the layers [11:54] just tell me that again....

[11:59] http://deaddrop.us/wiki/index.php/EvilCube [11:59] yeah, rose... he asked me to have you contact him regarding where we're having the party [11:59] yeah, that is the question isn't it [11:59] did we learn for certain that scapegoat was worry? [12:00] hhm asked the PMs about that [12:00] she was told something like - they couldnt answer it because it was for later [12:00] oh really? [12:00] but she thinks they never figured it out themselves [12:00] lol [12:00] yeah, its better as a mystery really [12:01] because worry has no clear motives [12:01] sorta like the chess pieces from BMW... they never followed through with those either [12:02] Audi 2: The revenge of Worry [12:03] giggle. Did we learn if the art was ever really stolen? [12:03] those letters make words? or a url? [12:04] yeah, they were all about "wait for Part II" :-) [12:04] so, after Virgil assaulted the Nisha cutout, the webcam went dead? [12:04] yeah, there is millions of priceless art, out there somewhere ... [12:04] wait for part II? [12:04] actually, no... the heist didn't happen [12:04] yep - he walked of screaming that someone was fired if they didnt cut the feed right then [12:05] and do Virgil and Emile successfully flee to a non-extradition country? [12:05] * Quits: vpist[e]ve (~vpisteve@33b18cfd.2ae78891.lv.cox.net) (Ping timeout: 181 seconds) [12:05] what did Virgil do... [12:05] they could buy an island or something [12:05] well, from what I could figure out, all Virgil was guilty of was that last kidnapping of Ian [12:05] kidnapping for one rose [12:05] right [12:05] he was an accessory to everything Emile did [12:05] and was "sort of" in his rights, as Ian was illegally in Virgil's house [12:05] he was planning on turning Ian over to the police, right? [12:05] still - he didnt need to tie him up [12:06] and put him in the car [12:06] so he was "capturing a fugitive" [12:06] varin, I dont' think so [12:06] and he did 'win the game' by recovering the A3 [12:06] I think he was holding him to give to Nisha [12:06] I thought the goons said he was turning him over to the police? [12:06] do you think Virgil had any idea it was Emile behind the heist? [12:06] the other thing was from emile.. [12:06] it's Emile who's in deep doo-doo [12:06] that was emile telling them what to say [12:06] and that's why trent and roger wanted the car ... so Virgil could win ?! [12:06] speaking of "Trent"... WOW he's a tall dude! [12:07] and was not wearing pink :-) [12:07] hehe [12:07] Virgil knew exactly what Emile was doing, he wanted to take credit for it [12:07] he didnt look good in the pink [12:08] see, I was so busy taking pics I couldn't hear half of what Nisha said at the end [12:08] i hope we can see that video again somewhere [12:08] hence why I'm looking to read the chat log in here [12:08] and hopefully see the webcam video [12:08] oh - i have that one at home [12:08] sorry - didnt occur to me to put that up [12:08] :-) [12:09] I also need to find HHM's flickr account and upload my hordes of pics [12:09] * Joins: missphinx (~lurker@1dad8cc8.1413884c.SPO.Berkeley.EDU) [12:09] now that i have linked on the fourms [12:09] ola missphinx [12:09] under pics from the party or something [12:09] good morning to you [12:09] xnbomb, I thought Virgil was taking credit for the heist too, but I think Emile was saying Virgil took credit for TT's success with the previous games [12:09] yeah, that was my thought as well [12:10] and this was emiles revenge on Virgil.....he was setting him up [12:10] could be that [12:10] but why does virgil have heist docs on his computer then? [12:10] emile put them there [12:10] Emile put them there [12:10] makes sense to me. [12:10] driving Virgil over the edge [12:10] hmm [12:11] emile put them there and then suggested ian go look for them [12:11] yep [12:11] virgil knows who the two goons are, he knows because he has been watching all this go down [12:11] but caught ian before he could get it away. [12:11] so how did Virgil know the goons - maybe he knew they were Emile's goons? [12:11] he shows up at the house with the goons [12:11] he knows something [12:12] virgil was too looney to realize he was being played [12:12] ah, the insanity defence [12:12] covers a lot of ground [12:12] Plus he knew Erdleman and Arclight - or something about them [12:12] the first information about the goons came from emile acting as CG [12:12] or the first specific info [12:12] they did a good job of keeping us guessing [12:13] so I guess Virgil could have known all along [12:13] i figure emile and virgils relationship worked the same for designing games and the heist [12:13] setting Ian up - but he didn't know the whole story [12:13] emile does all the work, virgil imagines it was all his doing [12:13] yes [12:14] that's what I thought last night [12:14] ok, I still don't know lol [12:14] as Nisha is choking Emile, i think thats what he implies [12:14] or, at least after she stops choking him [12:15] Emile was a whimp [12:15] the murders still don't make sense to me [12:15] here take my arm and twist just a little and I'll tell you everything [12:15] yes, rose. [12:15] I can see virgil going along with a fake Heist to promote the game [12:16] but murder, just doesn't make sense [12:16] I think the murders weren't real in-game.... [12:16] just part of the heist hoax [12:17] could be [12:17] hm [12:17] nisha asked him about the murders [12:17] he said it didn't matter they were just pawns [12:17] hmmm [12:17] so you guys were in the chatroom with Emile/CG when Nisha burst in on him? [12:17] maybe he would have tried to pin them on Virgil [12:17] yep [12:17] yeah, rewatching Emile and Nisha, I agree with you Enaxor ... that's probably what he meant [12:18] HA, sweet! [12:18] todd kept going 'but what about emile?' [12:18] maybe they wanted us to out him [12:18] and the moment we do, we goes offline and the Nisha thing 'happens' [12:18] sorry, he goes offline [12:19] they did the setup for the nisha-emile video perfect [12:19] they might also have been on a schedule - the timestamps seem to match fairly close [12:19] he goes offline because of the trauma to his laptop? [12:19] or cuz she closed the laptop [12:20] yeah ... he stops typing for a while when Nisha comes in the room, and then quits when ... [12:20] yes [12:20] we should time the intervals and see how well they match :-) [12:21] * celina63 == flickr n00b [12:21] so, do I upload my photos in *my* area, then "link" them to HHM's somehow? [12:21] something about an ARG photo pool? [12:22] * xnbomb doesn't have a flickr account [12:22] yeah [12:22] guess I'll have to read up on it [12:23] maybe the murders were people who knew emile was involved in setting up virgil or was arclight [12:24] yeah [12:24] how could Myke know that? [12:24] Oak, I'll grant you ... as he has some connection to Virgil, and thus possibly indirectly to Emile [12:25] didn't myke have the card that had the pic of emile labeled arclight? [12:25] I prefer the meta reason ... they screw up ... they die ... it's fun and funny [12:25] I think they murdered myke for the card [12:25] me too [12:25] err - that they screw up bit [12:25] how did he get it exactly? [12:25] I agree with Rose...for the card with his pic on it [12:25] from the car [12:26] he grabbed the card after the coachella party [12:26] sure ... we can assume that [12:26] I can't wait for the PM chat on this [12:26] why would Emile put his own picture on Virgil's computer again? [12:26] me too rose [12:26] good question, missphinx [12:26] i suppose he doesn't know what is insurance.zip [12:26] to get Ian to find the card and suspect Virgil [12:26] but aren't we thinking he did the puzzles? I guess he could have just thought it was another image that Gunter had ? [12:27] maybe he didnt see his reflection [12:27] but Emile doesn't know his imaege is in there [12:27] maybe he didn't know his pic was on it? [12:27] Gunter was sneaky about that [12:27] he was [12:27] kane posted this on the board "The heist is def not done by any means necessary..Keep your eyes open.

[12:34] maybe we'll get another EE of them being arrested :) [12:34] cant you just put anyone on speed dial? [12:35] so the goons could have been told to tell her that? [12:35] he wasn't surprised to take their call [12:35] he knew they had ian then right? [12:35] that's for certain [12:35] he was there at the house with them when they nabbed ian [12:36] so that could be the whole basis of their dealings... [12:36] maybe when emile hired them, he told them he was working for virgil [12:36] still, maybe Virgil thinks they are just the muscle Emile hired, conveniently forgetting their connection with various heist docs [12:37] nah, crazy or not, I don't see how Virgil couldn't have figured this out ... he's too smart to not have [12:37] didn't virgil think the heist was just to promote the game? [12:38] or he wasn [12:38] it's comforting to me to have my belief that Virgil wasn't smart enough to be behind this confirmed. [12:38] ;) [12:38] t [12:38] Maybe Virgil just saw it as a plan to get Ian in jail [12:38] or you could work that way ... its really quite muddy [12:38] didn't he say something about his efforts to get art into games? [12:38] enaxor, wasn't it you who discovered Emile's pic in that reflection?

[12:42] which is probably the whole point :) [12:43] that we don't ever know which is which [12:43] and get to the idea that Virgil intended to have Ian trussed up in that car at the end all along [12:43] I like the spec someone made that the goons were so hot to find the car so that Virgil could 'win the game' [12:43] did we see the press yet? [12:43] http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050630/deth010.html?.v=13 [12:44] yeah, that works [12:44] and roger and trent are the ones who 'steal' the car [12:44] although you wonder why you'd need real hoods to steal the car if it is a setup [12:44] "Emile Smithson, was behind The Heist from the beginning. From Germany to New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, he orchestrated a series of manipulations and deceptions worthy of his best video game design -- all of it over the fame and millions he felt Virgil owed him years ago" [12:45] well there you go [12:45] so emile was the ??? on nisha's supect list? [12:45] um. what masterpiece did they save? the car? [12:45] the loser? [12:45] I think the car, yes. haha. [12:45] yeah, they've been playing at that all along [12:46] The car was the "art" [12:46] oh duh [12:46] that is a good article [12:47] probably from Audi press release? [12:47] Yes.

[13:34] nice [13:34] so that's where the "sequel" rumors are coming from [13:35] good old scapegoat :) [13:35] maybe just a wrapup [13:35] which could mean lots of things depending on what time during the event he received that message [13:35] also Dave S. said that there were lots of puzzles that he made that weren't used... but since Audi paid him for them, he can't use them elsewhere [13:35] aw, that sucks [13:35] so perhaps will be used for AotH Deux :-) [13:35] How would Audi know? [13:35] so he has also said that a sequel is possible [13:36] wouldn't risk it [13:36] yeah, no way [13:36] I'm sure there's a big NDA with his name on it [13:36] * j[a]5 is now known as j5 [13:36] So, was he paying attention while we were working on them?

[13:37] no, he (and the rest of the team) watched... he said there was some frustration when we weren't solving ones *they* felt were easy [13:37] lol [13:37] righhht.

I knew I wouldn't remember all the details, so 2.) save 'em for the PM Chat [13:38] we took it as a clue word, not an answer word [13:38] np celina, thanks [13:38] I asked him about that and he didn't know when there would be one, but it sounds (from earlier in here) that one is in the works, so that's goo [13:38] good, too [13:38] yeah, this is great stuff, Celina [13:39] did Dave do more than just make puzzles? [13:39] Also, Urns enthusiasts will be pleased to know that Urns swag will be at ARGFest :-) [13:39] no, he was just the puzzle guy [13:39] free TVs for all! [13:39] yay! [13:39] lol!

[13:42] auctioned? [13:42] I just happened across one sitting on a table, and HHM snagged it [13:42] good job!

Yay Us! [13:46] yay [13:46] yay! [13:46] In all this Nisha kinda got left out in the cold, tho, didn't she? No art to recover...and Virgil recoved the car. [13:46] But she got laid.

[14:33] well, it could be to aggregate the common lettered words [14:33] you convert the melting point's decimal numbers to binary [14:33] maybe just alpha sort the elements, use their numbers [14:33] and anything over 1 or 2 is 1 and below is 0 [14:34] so the plants is cherman [14:34] yeah [14:34] I deleted mine :/ [14:34] well ... for that to work you'd have to get exactly the right melting point values ... round to a whole degree maybe?

[14:36] that's for a free account [14:36] so I guess that means that after you guys view the pics and it costs them 20MB of bandwidth, you can view them anymore? [14:36] storage? [14:37] gepsters anagrams in german to gepresst :) [14:37] which means? [14:37] no, they said it's not storage related, but bandwidth related [14:37] ah, ok celina [14:37] but that's no more clear to me [14:38] well, if you have a 1MB file and 20 friends, they can all access it once [14:38] I'm almost afraid to ask ... is gepresst a german word? [14:38] per month [14:38] if it anagrammed [14:38] gepresst means something like pressed [14:38] try it on KGB [14:38] wow... I have over 60 pics [14:39] but they are small [14:39] gepresste ? [14:39] and way more than 20 people who will want to view them [14:39] no celina [14:39] the pics are probablt K in size [14:39] crap hang on [14:39] probably [14:39] and not realy that small... my camera was set to 1600x1200 or something like that [14:39] v. high resolution [14:40] celina - you personally can upload 20 mb of bandwitdth data to flickr [14:40] ok, so convert to low quality to upload? [14:40] oh yeah... largest one is 896KB [14:40] you can batch convert with irfanview [14:40] but once they are uploaded - anyone can see them at any time [14:40] ah, so the 20mb limit is a per month uploading limit in effect [14:41] oh, upload limit [14:41] right [14:41] that's different [14:41] its an upload bandwith limit [14:41] nm then [14:41] carry on celina [14:41] so you can't upload 20 mb of pictures, delete them and then upload another 20 mb [14:41] right [14:41] no dice on gepresst [14:41] ah well [14:41] let's look at the melting points [14:42] I'm looking at the first letters of the latin words but they look like they suck [14:42] but considering that this is the end of the month - she coudl upload a bunch today and then more tomorrow [14:42] right [14:42] oh cool... a friend has a paid flickr account he can give away, so I'll have that instead [14:42] * Quits: Ariock (AriockWork@1e79b4c9.2c546df3.2803ef39.27ad84c0X) (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [14:42] unless it's a sliding window of 30 days [14:42] or you can do that [14:42] or that, yes [14:43] then, second question...

[14:47] cons was bad communication [14:47] i'm putting the cons in the middle of two pros [14:47] * Parts: Ariock (AriockWork@1e79b4c9.2c546df3.2803ef39.27ad84c0X) [14:47] even though I enjoyed shopping for clothes with imbri, I would have preferred to not had to do that [14:47] have had [14:47] lol [14:47] :) [14:48] and I had to rely on the Audi dealership to tell me where to be [14:48] and that sucked [14:48] i suppose you'll to leave the shills out ... that'd be too much, and conceivably unprovable [14:48] yes [14:48] that would get messy [14:48] we can have deux ex ma-shill-a [14:48] :) [14:48] rofl [14:49] machishillma [14:49] bless you [14:49] * missphinx chokes on her own bile [14:50] if I had to guess, I'd say the basic issue was an unwillingness to meet halfway [14:51] yes [14:51] they imagine how we'll behave, we behave differently, they chide us for not conforming to their vision [14:51] that's basically backwards [14:51] I gave them a perfectly in-game way to tell me what I needed to know [14:51] since we don't know what is going on, and they do [14:51] and they stuck to the formula [14:51] updates at 10 [14:52] * Joins: clalonde (lurker@a7e4540.28ba3a9e.1c6ad229.2e099bf0X) [14:52] hey everyone [14:52] hey clalonde [14:52] 'lo cl [14:52] hello [14:53] it was kind of sad checking iannet, vkok and being pretty sure that there wouldn't be any updates :( [14:53] right now i have something like: there was also a mid-game lull in the action that left a bitter taste in some players mouths. They were taunted for not solving puzzles, yet were not given any real motivation to perservere in solving them. [14:53] that sounds fair [14:53] yes [14:53] ok [14:53] I would agree with that Rowan [14:53] Steve gets to read this first? [14:53] yes he does [14:53] Good. [14:54] they should have taunted the people not bothering to attempt working on the puzzles not those actually trying [14:54] But I'm overly cautious about putting stuff out there in public [14:54] well, they did if you reaad it that way clalonde [14:54] I have full confidence in steve's editorial wisdom [14:54] ya i know - i dont want to bash it, but to be fair it wasn't perfect [14:54] I guess j5 - it definitely helped me to hate virgil that's for sure [14:54] yes [14:55] however - the paragraph before this does state it is one of the best games to ever come about [14:55] I wouldn't say that [14:55] it set new standards for interaction [14:55] no? [14:55] np [14:55] no [14:55] as my ARG experience is limited to this and the Beast I couldn't comment [14:55] it had better production values in some spheres [14:55] though I would say that the Best had a ton of interaction [14:55] and lesser ones in others [14:55] well, "one of" I guess instead of "the" is fair [14:56] this is my rough first paragraph [14:56] one of the "Better" games [14:56] there you go [14:56] good edit, Scrappy [14:56] it was difficult or impossible to care for the characters, because they did not seem to care for us [14:56] this is why i'm here; ) [14:56] * j5 ..... [14:56] :P [14:56] heh :P shush now. [14:56] overall, the art of the heist has to be considered one of the greats of the arg genre. the richness of the story, the depth of background, the amazing liver interactions and masterful puzzles all played a roll in making this a must-play game [14:57] you could say something like--since this is a a new genre AoTH has set a new standard for games [14:57] yeah we drank so much our livers had an interaction :P [14:57] you know what I forgot to ask? WHY 8:03PM? I mean, the odd minutes? [14:57] part of the motivation to participate is that connection ... take it away, and what do you have? [14:57] cuz of the A3 [14:57] celine I think it had to do with A3 [14:57] instead of "greats" maybe "giants"? [14:57] celina A3 [14:57] ok [14:57] 'considered one of the giants of the arg genre' [14:58] and add a "the" before "masterful puzzles" :P [14:58] <-- anal retentive about parallel structure [14:58] milestone ARG :) [14:58] oops, not liver interactions ;-) [14:58] i did say it was rough :) [14:58] It's good Rowan [14:58] yes [14:58] considering it's in IRC format :) [14:58] * Joins: grog (~Grog@3f38bee0.371cd19e.144.gte.net) [14:59] also, the Easter Eggs, while a departure from TINAG, were beautifully produced and extremely entertaining [14:59] good afternoon Grog [14:59] they were [14:59] ya i was gonna talk about the easter eggs [14:59] hullo grog [14:59] * missphinx nods at the grogster [14:59] I think they also did a pretty good job at bluring the OOG/InGame line [14:59] yes [15:00] hi [15:00] PIG was coined here wasn't it? [15:00] yes [15:00] excellent use of PIG technology [15:00] lol [15:00] and of course, HHM needs a paragraph [15:00] um [15:01] my critquie is gonna be longer than my recap [15:01] or at least a sentence or too [15:01] probably [15:01] he said one or two paragraphs :) [15:01] heh [15:01] (reading back) yeah, I thought it had something to do with A3.. but "80" doesn't coorespond to "A" as far as *I* know :-) [15:01] for which one? [15:01] aaaaayt3 [15:01] PIG? [15:01] Can you maybe add a little bit of meta-observation on the game as a whole at the end, perhaps? What was good, what could've been better, etc.? Just like a paragraph or two at most? [15:02] Partially In Gam? [15:02] partiallt in game celina [15:02] thats what i got [15:02] partially [15:02] yeah [15:02] celina - it was close enough to 1 am for those of us on the east coast byt he time things got rockin' last night [15:02] yeah, I know :-( [15:02] but don't feel bad, it was almost 2AM before I got to bed :-) [15:02] ah, ok [15:02] hehehe [15:03] Maybe wait for an epilog before you write up the end yet? [15:03] so row, touch on positives: production values, rich intreraction, negatives: poor communication, shallow characters (ian,nisha) [15:04] I would say that they did a decent job wrapping things up but that there were certain questions left unanswered - who is worry, did Emile have a relationship w/ Naoko, what happened to the rest of the heist team, where is our playable demo of NC vol. 1? [15:04] will star is the epitome of PIG celina [15:04] maybe not shallow as much as 'emotionally inaccessible'? nah, that sounds worse [15:04] 'underdeveloped'? [15:04] lacking in real depth? [15:04] damnscrappy [15:04] hee :D [15:04] I'd leave it out if you have 2 paragraphs. [15:05] ooh, new term [15:05] that's damn scappry [15:05] scrappy [15:05] yeah, that'd be good for the critique I suppose [15:05] well, I think that they provided plenty of background on them but they were unaccessbile to all but a select few [15:05] (them being Nisha, Ian, et al.) [15:05] background didn't tell us anything really [15:05] right [15:05] "not fully rounded-out" [15:05] well, as I wrote so many lines ago, it was hard to care about them because they didn't seem to care about us [15:06] "flat" "static characters" [15:06] yup [15:06] can't get around that xnbomb [15:06] cardboard cutouts? [15:06] lol [15:06] heh [15:06] * missphinx has her cork on [15:06] full points for whoever wrote that ... beautiful [15:06] "my toothpaste tube had more depth" [15:06] * Joins: madamo (~icechat5@14ef3beb.1366b407.mclnva23.covad.net) [15:06] fewer dimensions than an evil cube [15:06] and well acted ... Meunier gets my applause [15:07] yes [15:07] afternoon madamo [15:08] hi adam [15:08] good afternoon [15:08] any involved in or got their eyes on any new games? [15:09] I'll dip into PPX but I have reservations [15:09] opulent theatric vision of the death barge manned by zombie mimes captained by a comsumptive lunatic or whatever [15:09] i have had a toe in perplex city for about 18 months [15:09] i'm hoping it picks up some steam soon [15:09] I'm on for that game missphinx [15:09] PPX? [15:09] perplex city [15:09] it has so many names [15:10] the zombie death barge - I thought you we're pitching a new game [15:10] I was paying attention, but the anime blog thing sort of lost my attention [15:10] ok - how about this (goes after the whole taunting line): This lack of communication also marred some of the live events where players were left to fend for themselves and a feeling that some of the main characters were emotionally inacessable to the players. [15:10] Oh no, that was Gunter :) [15:10] i like it Rowan [15:10] verrah succinct [15:10] that's great rowan [15:10] but follow it with something strongly positive [15:10] oh i will [15:11] um it doesn't flow [15:11] yeah, like "WE LOVE YOU PLEASE PLEASE DO ANOTHER ONE PLEASE!!!!!!111" [15:11] what would you suggest j5? [15:11] I would also give them kudos for the Sa3.com blog, forum and their willingness to try to bring people along/keep them up with the story [15:11] remove "this" [15:12] and (gave) a feeling - maybe [15:12] it seems like lack of communication caused flat players [15:12] verbulage [15:12] from the structure [15:12] ouch [15:12] * Joins: lazarys (~jph@2e60f4af.2b24ce30.autodesk.com) [15:12] ok changed and changed [15:13] * Joins: HitsHerMark (~upirc@3bc48775.27ea28c2.tmodns.net) [15:13] so "lack of communication" then " there was also a feeling that.." [15:13] take out "and a" before "feeling", making it more direct: left to fend for themselves, feeling that some of the main chars... etc [15:13] no, it's 2 different line items [15:13] * Parts: lazarys (~jph@2e60f4af.2b24ce30.autodesk.com) [15:13] oh! [15:13] hello all [15:13] nm I see where you are going [15:13] hey HHM! [15:14] hi zombie girl [15:14] the players were left to fend and feel :P [15:14] I'm uploading my pics to Flickr right now [15:14] hey HHM [15:14] ooh! [15:14] you talking about coachella [15:14] oh oh :) [15:14] yea! [15:14] amongst other things [15:14] fend for themselves, giving them a feeling that.... [15:14] nice [15:15] don't you just *love* IRC editing?! ;D [15:15] now trying to figure out how to put them in order [15:15] or the feeling [15:15] it uploaded them strangely [15:15] * missphinx sings "more than a feeling" [15:15] * j5 plays the guitar riff and bobs his head [15:15] oh yes [15:15] if I may? [15:15] sure [15:16] the thing that really brings it home is that they tell us that they were standing right next to us [15:17] * nawoR tries to think of a good segue [15:17] at coachella? HHM? [15:17] for me at least [15:17] yeah [15:17] "However, after a good leg hump, the players were once again whisked into the excitement.." [15:17] in a literal or figurative sense? [15:17] rofl [15:17] i dont think steve will let me use that [15:17] damnscrappy [15:17] bah, screw steve ;D [15:17] in the leg? [15:17] So Coachella was on purpose? [15:17] er, if you want :P [15:18] * missphinx is windowskipping and confused [15:18] yes and no [15:18] I always felt it was destined to fail, but not that way [15:18] I imagined the card would not find nisha [15:18] if you could give us your sense of how they feel about it, i'd be most interested [15:18] because Myke would die [15:18] yes, please HHM [15:18] its more complicated then I can explane on the treo [15:18] fair enough [15:19] what it boils down to is whether or not they had your enjoyment (and ours) in mind [15:19] i'll log in from my laptop when I get home [15:19] take your time, HHM [15:19] we're just glad you're alive :) [15:19] sure, thanks HHM [15:20] I don't think they were out to make us unhappy [15:20] hey HHM... good work on everything. [15:20] Rowan, one way you could continue would be to state that regarless of the frustrations players sometimes felt that the challenging puzzles and intriguing story line kept us coming back for more (punishment). [15:20] hmm, perhaps not ... but I don't know id they thought enough about what *would* make us happy [15:20] you think that was true, clalonde? [15:20] I talked about it with mike after we fillmed my thing [15:21] well - it certainly did for me - I was always curious as to what would be on the next SD card [15:21] characters and players need to have some connection for an arg to truly work [15:21] I liked how the puzzles always changed [15:21] I was soured for a long time [15:21] I saw about 10 insanely stubborn people [15:21] I agree w/ you XN [15:22] they were really cool to dave the puzzle guy according to him [15:22] who would "they" be? [15:22] he came up with a few truly creative puzzles [15:22] ok next paragraph: [15:22] i still have grave concerns about thinking of him that way, but okay [15:22] Communication issues aside, The Art of the H3ist pushed the envelope when it came to interaction in ARGs. From undercover ops to steal SD cars from various Audis across the country to nighttime boat rides with Zombie Mimes, the live events kept the Retrievers on their toes (and handsomely rewarded as well). Even those stuck far away from the action were able to experience the missions through live webfeeds and archives of audio communication betwee [15:22] I'm still wondering whether the music had some puzzle connected to it [15:23] (btw - thanks for helping with this - i just want to make sure i get the feelings right for the ppl who are gonna read this) [15:23] typo: "stealing SD cards" [15:23] doing fine rowan [15:23] again, i like it rowan [15:23] i haven't spell checked yet :) [15:23] And yes I like it lots [15:23] the ops were "to steal SD cards" [15:24] oh [15:24] :) [15:24] I was doing the from x to y version [15:24] yes, it can be clarified a bit (no offense row) [15:24] we have lotsa editorial types in the room [15:24] :) [15:25] everyone is a critic :) [15:25] some more vocal than others [15:25] * xnbomb has been sitting on his hands for about six weeks, and will continue to do so [15:26] * j5 looks around [15:27] well, to be fair, I am voicing some criticisms, but I am trying to keep the venom in check, and that's hard work [15:28] * Quits: nawoR (wwwrun@1a9e3c85.31478372.brune.org) (Quit: CGI:IRC) [15:28] * Joins: nawoR (wwwrun@1a9e3c85.31478372.brune.org) [15:28] * ARGbot sets mode: +o nawoR [15:34] i think this needs some work: The game also stretched the ideas of meta with their film quality Easter Eggs. The seven videos, with their clever binary titles, gave the players new insights into several “off screen” moments and were extremely entertaining to everyone who watched. The transition of HitsHerMark from player to character was also handled expertly and helped to blur the line between fiction and reality even further. [15:34] after just reading back a few mins in this chat, I would love to read scrappy's grant proposal, I'll bet it's damnscrappy [15:34] beheheheheh :D [15:34] it's damnlong too ;D [15:35] I'll bet [15:35] okay gotta get back to work [15:35] see ya HHM! [15:35] grants. lovely grants. [15:35] by HHM [15:35] bye hhm [15:35] what agency, Scrappy, if I may ask? [15:35] bye hhm [15:35] later HHM [15:35] * Parts: HitsHerMark (~upirc@3bc48775.27ea28c2.tmodns.net) [15:36] i think one of the main things were the in-game out of game boundaries that occured at the beginning [15:36] Uhmmm it's a pre-doctoral fellowship grant to the American Heart Association [15:36] or from the beginning [15:36] cha-ching! [15:36] * missphinx nods [15:36] which will also be modified to act as the basis for my oral exam :P [15:36] my nasa proposal was my diss proposal too :-) [15:36] As they well should be. [15:37] did someone say "oral?" [15:37] Best of wishes for successful review :) [15:37] * missphinx puts the lid down on Lou [15:37] thanks :D [15:37] * j5 closes lou's door [15:37] so you defend already scrap? [15:37] * enaxor clicks the occupied sign [15:37] or is that a ways off? [15:37] oral exam can = proposal defence ... it varies [15:38] This is the "are you good enough after all we've taught you to keep working towards" your PhD thing [15:38] ah, ok [15:38] THEN it's a thesis proposal, and THEN [15:38] yep [15:38] in about 2-3 years (if i'm lucky), the big defense [15:38] one step at a time. [15:38] nice, then internship? [15:38] ah, nasty ... written exam, oral exam, and proposal [15:38] Post-doc, hopefully. [15:38] woo [15:39] and then! whoring myself out to a drug company for money [15:39] now scrappy doesn't have to play Dr. she will be one [15:39] oh, drug company's love whores [15:39] You could skip the postdoc and go straight to the drug company :) [15:39] -' [15:39] i could. [15:39] but that's a ways off [15:40] true. dammit :P [15:40] * missphinx sees an ARG University in the sky where all the profs are from here [15:41] i fear for the future generations ;D [15:41] * nawoR tries to think of a concluding paragraph [15:41] heh [15:41] As does every generation :) [15:41] "Game was gud, fun was had. yey audi woo" [15:41] lol [15:41] again - dont think it'll pass review [15:41] Now solve this er take this test [15:41] Teh 3nd [15:41] "widespread disappointment that no car was given away" ;-) [15:42] "overall it was good, but chippy still wants a pin" [15:42] hehehe, I like that xn [15:42] send it to jamesi, he'll pass it [15:42] 'And to quote the Badass Soon-To-Be Doctor Scrappy:...' [15:42] "Unmobile ARGers across the universe are waiting for the A3 to come pick them up outside their office windows" [15:43] Word to the PMs, Unfiction & the moderators, Todd @ Sa3 - we out [15:43] "freeing them from the butt callouses and sore necks of hours of sitting, watching a camera feed via the internet" [15:43] except for that one song, then we danced [15:44] right [15:44] like on Sprokets [15:44] * Lou|work is now known as Dieter [15:44] in memory of our Gunter [15:44] i think you should mention 1) high production standards 2) good acting 3) some insane puzzles 4) blurring in-out game 5) story seemed too rigid to flex around coachella etc [15:44] "we could have used more Vanilla Ice" [15:44] i think i touched on all that [15:44] oooh, and lots of swearing [15:45] "gratuitous animal fetish" [15:45] voodoo mimes? [15:45] "more pictures of feet" [15:45] got the voodoo mimes [15:45] :) [15:45] "more naked ian" [15:45] some naked nisha [15:45] woot! [15:45] You did of course, mention sweating semi-clothed male dancing? [15:45] no i did not [15:45] i figured it was covered elsewhere [15:46] true [15:46] but then, if Ian doesn't have a computer, he'll never know :) [15:46] hehe [15:46] its probably for the best [15:47] how funny is that [15:47] didn't one of the ILB actors not have a computer... [15:47] he's the super-hacker ... I know its obvious but still [15:47] either that or he's lying so we don't find his sekrit home page on aol [15:47] rofl [15:48] Sikora, Meunier, and Barre sounds like they should be the checking line for the Chicago Blackhawks [15:48] who is Barre? Nisha? [15:48] yes [15:48] yes, nicole barre [15:48] yeah, with an accent on the last e [15:48] sounds like types of sauce for chicken [15:49] im thinking she's Quebecois, but would like to know for certain [15:50] I suppose she could really be from Louisiana and thats the Acadian Cajun in her [15:51] i know we specced that emile was arclight and that emile was cg at points in time - but we didnt completely have the plot nailed down until that last video, right? [15:51] there was no way to be certain [15:51] ok [15:51] that pretty much was how I imagined it, but it was impossible to know 'til Nisha had her belt around Emile's throat [15:52] and you certainly got the motive angle [15:53] i think so, seemed right [15:53] oh, and I really liked how they did the computer 'thwack' ... perfect camera angle so she can strike something other than his head and it looks good [15:54] and plenty of room for a mat behind Emile if he needed it [15:55] all the filmed stuff was very impressive [15:56] agreed [15:57] in a purely oog-meta way i wonder how willstar fits in, the arrangements etc [15:57] do you think he has an "agent"? [15:58] or maybe hes a friend of one of the pms... [15:59] did anyone ever actually interact with him? [15:59] yes, he gave bagsbee and rose that package [16:00] ...Nisha was one of Kim Fowley's girls? [16:00] omg. i totally missed easter egg 07 [16:01] kim fowley? [16:02] famed producer of girl bands such as the runaways and joan jett [16:02] hmm, so nisha can....dance too :) [16:02] * Quits: ScrappyDoo (YokoOno@15e08640.2142b218.23fa4838.307615a5X) (Quit: Cheers!) [16:02] http://www.kimfowley.net/victories/femaleenergy.htm [16:02] I have feeling that willstar was friends w/ the guy who plays ian - as he's a NY DJ and Ian gave all sort of shout outs to NYC & Brooklyn in his vid clip [16:06] * Joins: catherwork (lurker@1d2128.362b7f89.354f3b3c.1faf4a71X) [16:06] and n. london [16:06] cricklewood. lol [16:07] according to his bio - he lived over there for a while [16:07] lok, yup [16:07] I've spent some happy afternoon's there [16:07] where's his bio? [16:07] umm - i forgot [16:07] i think i just googled his name [16:07] gotcha [16:07] hmm - do i mention a possible chat in here with the pms (but i have no details) or do i just mention the round table? [16:08] possibly a stay tuned message. can you edit it once posted? [16:09] ya i can [16:09] theres also the rumour of in-game conclusions [16:10] * Ehs[a]n is now known as Ehsan [16:10] although those could be based on alcohol abuse [16:10] yo [16:10] hehe [16:10] heh [16:10] i'll just leave the roundtable in [16:10] If you can edit, you've got it made [16:10] hey, Ehsan! [16:10] ya i can edit [16:11] in-game conclusions would be nice, like a final email, or another entry in Virgil's rants [16:11] anything new today? [16:11] the only update I saw was on the mini site [16:11] or a once-more-with-feeling song and dance [16:11] goodbye.mov :-P [16:12] hi ehsan [16:13] hia xnb [16:13] hiya ehasn [16:13] what is Dave S's full last name?
