loosen the gag!

Near as I can tell, Todd wasn't one person probably. I think Mike and Brian did the majority of the writing.

Actually, Todd was almost exclusively written by Jim Gunshanan (who was also Charlie Tan in the Urns and Beta-7 in the site of the same ... and who also wrote some of Virgil and Emile and a bunch of other stuff.) In fact, Jim is also the person you "saw" in some early film from the story (at the site of the break-in).

Brian Cain (who wrote Freakylinks' Derek Barnes but for whom this was the first ARG) did much of the principle writing with Mike Monello (and a few of us did some other minor writing, I always get stuck with the Marlene's and Scapegoats!) Near as I can tell, Mike's main job was killing off actors, staffers and finally Retrievers!

But probably the biggest message is what a huge team Heist was and how many different roles people ended up in (like poor Ben Rock, who's main gig was directing all the great easter egg films but because he ended up in one photo found his role suddenly expanded to voice and body acting Emile, resulting in a laptop in the face!)

I KNEW there was something nefarious about that guy!

Brian- The post game debriefings and actions such as attending ARG Fest add immeasurably to our enjoyment of your productions. I think that actions such as these really increase the positive feelings that game participants and observers have toward everyone involved in the project (are you corporate sponsors listening??)

You guys are the best and you've certainly earned a devoted following.

Dang, there's a useful function? People who have PMed before can tell you that the bonding works both ways, where we end up learning as much about you guys as you did about Virgil. So we're as looking forward to hanging out and throwing around ideas as anything else.

I'm just sad I missed the party, but we'll make up for it in NYC.

Jim Gunshanan wrote Todd. He also wrote "Charlie Tan" on Sharp -- I took over Charlie Tan after the story ended but before the winner was announced, but all the good Charlie Tan stuff was Jim.
