[Possible ARG?] Gaelph

[Twilight]

Be careful how much digging you do on this site. By looking at the source or doing a whois, it is very easy to turn up information that may have been meant to stay behind the curtain.

Interesting things in the source...

I already accidentally found out who the PM is.
But it is definatly a ARG.

I emailed the PM to make him close the curtain.

Here's my email:

[Dorkmaster]

[META]Really? He got upset at you? And he wants to PM an ARG? I think he'll be seeing more rudeness than that if he's going to PM something that hundreds of people will spend at least a cursory moment picking apart for clues... Tim, if you read this, please understand it's our job to dissect whatever we can, and sometimes that mean we're not very caring with our discourse, as long as it breeds results or the possibility of results... Sorry...[/META]

So anyway, anything really new with this, or does that all mean that nothing is really happening here, and until we hear otherwise, ignore the man behind the large curtain, and while you're at it, ignore the curtain, and the curtain's surroundings as well?

[Dorkmaster]

true... however, if I am interpreting correctly, then the reason the curtain was so aggregiously breached by jchillerup is to ensure we all knew that nothing was happening, and that this is not an ARG, correct? So in this case, while it may have been bad form, it was informative, right? Or am I completely misinterpreting you sarcasm, jamesi?

[jamesi]

When have I ever been sarcastic on these boards? Okay, all the time, but anyway...

I agree with your points, but can see the PMs side of things as well. If I was running a game, it might come across as combative or rude if someone was to tell me (a) what to do and (b) where to host, while assuming (c) I knew someone named Bill, and (d) I wwished to have unsolicited advice concerning a game I created.

I can see the intent of the message to the PMs was in good faith, though, but I don't know if people should take it upon themselves to personally contact outed "PMs" and tell them what we think they've done wrong... I think there was another game (Sarah Kiddo?) that had something similar happen with how the "ARG" was constructed and implemented.

Long story short... what took place is in the past, and we'll carry on from here. Oh look, there's the curtain!

(And, I will definitely use emoticons more often when issuing statements of sarcastic nature. Sorry for the miscommunication.)

Here's a funny story..

Bill sent them an email last night offering hosting so they could hide a bit easier. No reply to my most generous offer as of this moment.
