 		[PM CHAT] Pre-chat chat...
Lewis Denby (one of the PMs) appeared on IRC last night. I wasn't there, but logged it and thought I'd share... Sorry for the lack of formatting, can't be bothered :) It's also marginally edited to remove some non-topic comments.

[23:15:25] * Lewis[TheCarer] has joined #carer
[23:15:40] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Evenin'
[23:15:56] <Paulzilla> :O
[23:16:15] <Beano> Evening indeed
[23:16:16] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Shocked, eh?
[23:16:18] <Six> Damn you! :P
[23:16:24] <Beano> Shocked. Nah.
[23:16:25] <Paulzilla> Very
[23:16:28] <Beano> %)
[23:16:35] <Beano> </joke>
[23:16:42] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Just thought I'd pop in and say ta for playing and suchlike.
[23:16:44] <Beano> I was working and I get back to this!
[23:16:52] <Paulzilla> haha
[23:17:15] <Paulzilla> So, was there a way to save people?
[23:17:31] * Beano waits for tuesday for the answer
[23:17:35] <Paulzilla> :(
[23:17:37] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Heh.
[23:17:40] <Lewis[TheCarer]> There were four endings
[23:17:42] <Beano> No thank you for the ARG
[23:17:45] <Beano> :P
[23:17:51] <Lewis[TheCarer]> :D a joy
[23:18:13] <Paulzilla> It was fun
[23:18:26] <Six> it was
[23:18:36] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Glad you enjoyed it. The ending went ever-so-slightly tits up, I guess. But yeah.
[23:18:43] <Paulzilla> Any ARG I can actually solve something in gets my thumbs up
[23:18:51] <Lewis[TheCarer]> hehe
[23:18:55] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Anyone check the binary on Iain's site?
[23:19:18] <Paulzilla> I did
[23:19:24] <Six> yup, it's posted on the forums too
[23:19:29] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Ah
[23:19:34] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Not checked in a little while.
[23:19:41] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Feel the need to apologise about that too
[23:19:44] <Beano> Shame on you
[23:19:48] <Lewis[TheCarer]> all will be explained in the official chat though i guess :p
[23:19:54] <Lewis[TheCarer]> But put it this way...
[23:20:11] <Lewis[TheCarer]> "Wait a minute... the test puzzle's still there... you didn't send that out on the disks did you?"
[23:20:13] <Lewis[TheCarer]> "... fuck."
[23:20:15] <Lewis[TheCarer]> etc.
[23:21:50] <Six> so was there someting on the denby site?
[23:23:39] <Lewis[TheCarer]> There actually, genuinely was going to be. Then you kinda got to the end of the story and we realised there wouldn't
be much point.
[23:23:56] <Six> oh, :P
[23:24:00] <Six> here we were stying stegs on the pictures on it :P
[23:24:00] <Lewis[TheCarer]> So we stuck that in-joke thing up there, explaining how we made a ballsup.
[23:24:06] <Lewis[TheCarer]> That was hilarious.
[23:24:44] <Lewis[TheCarer]> That's Iain's genuine website, for the genuine company he owns
[23:25:00] <Lewis[TheCarer]> those illustrations are actual examples of his work, and everyone's there trying to decrypt them :D
[23:25:04] <Six> how about the call he got at the start? :P
[23:25:23] <Lewis[TheCarer]> We were kicking ourselves over that. If we'd have thought about people calling, I'd have scripted it.
[23:25:25] <Beano> heh
[23:25:34] <Lewis[TheCarer]> And had him mumble something about how JRG used to be there but moved or something.
[23:25:52] <Lewis[TheCarer]> For the record, this is the first game we've done, so we're rather chuffed. Heh.
[23:27:34] <Paulzilla> It was good. You should feel chuffed :)
[23:27:45] <Beano> As you should be - you had a massive following
[23:29:56] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Yeah, it was awesome. One thing that I still wonder about though... we sent ten mailshot trailheads out
[23:30:03] <Lewis[TheCarer]> only Nik_Doof actually took it up
[23:30:08] <Lewis[TheCarer]> wonder what happened to the others...
[23:30:16] <Beano> Did you know who you were sending them to?
[23:31:18] <Paulzilla> Maybe some random people are this minute calling the olice :P
[23:31:23] <Paulzilla> ^police
[23:31:41] <Beano> OMG!
[23:32:03] <Lewis[TheCarer]> :p
[23:32:08] <Beano> I think the once existed trailhead would sort out anyones head out on that notion :)
[23:32:24] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Iain says hi, by the way :p
[23:32:39] <Lewis[TheCarer]> We whoised a load of key players' websites
[23:32:40] <Beano> - an out somewhere in that phrase :)
[23:32:43] <Lewis[TheCarer]> and got home addresses from that
[23:32:59] <Lewis[TheCarer]> plus, sent a couple of leading games mags
[23:33:48] <Beano> And the mags didn't follow it up?
[23:33:50] <Beano> pffft
[23:34:09] <Beano> Probs 'cause they are all trying to make their own ARG's ;)
[23:34:13] * Paulzilla has the feeling that the mags may well get a bunch of trailheads
[23:34:19] <Lewis[TheCarer]> haha
[23:34:26] <Paulzilla> Especially after the PCG article
[23:34:29] <Beano> You know it's true!
[23:34:38] <Paulzilla> hah Beano
[23:34:44] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Paulzilla: they followed up Conspiracy of B though
[23:34:46] <Lewis[TheCarer]> well, Walker did.
[23:35:41] <Paulzilla> Cool
[23:35:47] <Lewis[TheCarer]> ey well.
[23:39:23] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Well, I'd best be off.
[23:39:38] <Beano> Laters!
[23:39:41] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Leaving for my first festival of the summer on Thurs, hence PM chat next week.
[23:39:46] <Beano> Come back soon ;)
[23:39:49] <Lewis[TheCarer]> hehe
[23:39:57] <Lewis[TheCarer]> see you later guys, it's been an honour.
[23:40:00] <Beano> Leeds?
[23:40:03] <Beano> Reading?
[23:40:06] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Nah, Cambridge.
[23:40:09] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Leeds is next month.
[23:40:10] <Beano> Ah
[23:40:11] <Lewis[TheCarer]> Am there as well
[23:40:12] <Beano> AH
[23:40:26] <Beano> An honour here too! B-Bye!
[23:40:29] <Lewis[TheCarer]> See yas
[23:40:31] * Lewis[TheCarer] has quit IRC (Quit: http://unfiction.com/chat/)

 		I think "person with FAR too much time/big mailbox/plays ARGs/spends too much time on trivial things" wouldbe both more apt and more offensive.
