There is one flaw:

The lowest amount of active players is two. Perfect for FFA duels,

but for TEAM, this # is per team.

2v2.

This is actually completely unrelated to Xbox Live, but since this thread seems to have the highest concentration of hardcore beekeepers and probably isn't read regularly by most of the non-beekeeper ARGers, can I ask you guys:

What do you think of Lenny's Xanga and their use of ILB concepts and characters? Just curious as to what the opinion of actual beekeepers is.

You can PM me if you'd rather keep your opinion nonpublic.

After a brief perusal through the Lenny's Xanga forum, it seems like the similarities between LX and ILB have been insinuated and then maybe blown a little out of proportion by the players. Lenny or the other person used the name Melissa in a conversation, and that send out radio waves of interest thoughout our happy, little community. However, Melissa is a fairly common name, and we've got no idea what this game's about yet. If they are going to use payphones 1)plant one near me and 2) do something other than use an Operator-type character.

What do I think about it? I think it's too early to have some kind of easily summarizable thesis statement for it. It feels like it's in the pre-game, not fully fleshed out, still skeletal and perhaps whimpering. I have no opinion that would have any kind of rational or emotional impact behind it.

Oh, and I apologize to INCyr, because my initial response made no sense.

While I have been following for about a week now, I can say it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I don't like where it's going, I don't like the lack of hard facts in-game, and I especially don't like how it's playing on ILB when it has no clear original story. Take away all references to ILB and what do we have? A whiny un-motivated teenager. Blah.

There are elements that just show a certain lack of polish:

1. Lenny popping his "p's" in the one audio file he "recorded" suggests this was not recorded professionally.
2. simple hex conversions used for the "coded messages". <yawn>
3. lack of any real hard facts (phone convo and list of "hundreds" of gps coords.)

There is also the possibility of copyright infringement which I won't comment on, as I feel I do not know enough about copyright law to comment on it.

It gained my interest initially, but I don't like where this is going. If all it's going to be is an ILB rip-off, then I have this to say to the people behind this game: grow up and do something original.
