 		dont get me wrong here ppl, i mean i like the whole idea behind this challenge. but one cant help but feel disconnected when something like this happens. ppl all over the place were like, "what the hell!?!? i cant see anything on the webcam" i still like OC and its still fun, but its also a bit fustrating, which it really shouldnt be.

hmm, maybe the teams should each make their own TEAM MEMBER LOCATION LIST (or whatever) like lets say team yay Very Happy (and other teams) make a site somewhere on the net that compiles a list of team members and their location. so that the team would know who to contact to go somewhere in some kinda challenge like this. maybe im thinking too imaginatively. your thoughts?

However, please do not let OurColony form your opinions about the ARG genre.

Our Colony is not an ARG- and most ARGs are nothing like this- they have a story, character interaction, exciting puzzles, and immersive reality.

OurColony is better classified as a timewaster at best.


Or Viral Marketing campaign, and you do make an excelent point.


Something much bigger is coming. I can tell. This is exactly just a time waster. All we been doing is watching the clock count down. We were bound to see xbox 360 info over the month that lead up to this unveiling. Microsoft knew that pictures were going to be leaked as soon as they brought it out of their closed door labs, so they figure "what the hell, lets just get them to waste some time till our public release" and make us muck about solving challenges. But now they have a captured audience. Now a general watching and garunteed aww and astonishment is in their favour. As soon as that clock reaches 0, thats when the real game will start. Thats the one that we will all be psyched over.
Everyone make sure to eat your st johns wort and other crazy kinda head herbs. Drink your OJ and get that coffea pot scrubbed out. We's gonna need a good think tank soon. The lid on this thing is gonna pop off real quick.

 		I hope Nova's right. Like many of you, I started this game with a lot of hope for a great non-ARG, from a huge corporation (M$). I expected much more. Perhaps thats the reason for my disappointment. We have no consistency in the difficulty of the puzzles, no consistency in the rewards, people had trouble registering for AGES, the scoring doesn't really make any sense, and the reward pics were almost always discovered a few days before OC released them. After all of that, though, i still play, mostly for my love of puzzles. While I am disappointed with how OC has gone so far, I'm with Nova in thinking that this HAS to lead to more. If not, I just wasted a large portion of my early 20's.

As a sidenote, I agree that this thread isn't "necessary" (i dont need it to live), but it is on-topic, it is coherent, and its someones opinion on the overall progression of the game. Games like this require a place to vent!

 		well, i think it is necessary. we need to gripe sometimes...ppl don't HAVE TO read it. also, nova, i am PRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYING that u r right! PRAYING! cuz this has been such a dissappointment. i mean, coming from ILB, to this, there was a great quality difference from the start, but we overlooked that in hopes of getting a good future experiance. sadly, we haven't found anything out actually. technically, we learned all that we know through leak forums and so on. what game is there the the spoils have already been given out in spades?...........................................but i'm not bitter Cool
