I'm still new to ARGS myself and only have been following them hardcore for about 2 weeks and when I saw this one going all crazy I decided to step out and watch. I'm still a newb so if any of the vets wanna jump in and correct please feel free.

I've been following it pretty closely and this is what I came up with. What "I" seemed to do more then anything else is bring alot of people together from many differant communities. Introduced us to idea we never though about, books, sites, time travel among many more. There were times he seemed to plug certain things shamelessy but I at times tend to lean twords it's about exploration and learning about new things. And "I" if this was your intention I give you mad credit. You were able to make your ideas and "game" explode with your unconventional tactics.

It's also possible that even though everything seems to make no sense and he seems to be breaking outta of his character is all part of it Smile

. Or it's even possible it's all real Smile

.

It would just be a shame if all new commers to ARGs are turned off to all ARGs in general for a exteremly strange, crazy, yet very unique and at times genius path that he lead you on, ends up turning you off. I really suggest if you got into this or found it a wee bit interesting at any point you really should check out the rest of the UNFICTION community and other ARGS going on. It's a task at first to catch up whats going on but this community seemed to set up sites, posts, guide and anything else they can think of to help YOU. There is a great group of people here!!!

In general the pacing of ARGs tend to be a little bit slower and not so frantic but I hear that when they get rolling tend to get intense but usally if it's well written the stories tend to unfold with a little more perpose then you may have experienced here.

I know I know I sound like a commercial but this is honestly how I feel Smile

Okay, I apologize in advance if this may sound like an insomniac's sleep deprived revelation I had a thought, so just stay with me here for a sec.

I'm holding out hope that the emailed and PM'd gibberish and apparent drunkenness is not the work of the original PM(s), if there are/were any to begin with.
I hope I'm not alone in saying that wading through that kind of crap is not in the spirit of what goes on in a typical ARG. Sure the text can be obfuscated, but intelligently and with some hope of divination.
In my short time on these boards, I've found the practice of "stegging" to be my biggest personal peeve, but this innane stuff would certainly be worse.
If the PM SixSidedSquare got were real, wouldn't this whole thing be over, anyway because "I" can't make their presence known here?

I was lucky enough to be on Lazy Laces when this all first came up and have been following it avidly ever since. i get up this morning tho and it all seems to have blown up.

Is it really all over?

This isnt dead yet, more changes to the site.
Looks like the index has been tided up a bit. There are some interesting things in the /secure/ folder now and more importantly, we have a folder access to the /scribes/ and theres a new scribe: cenyon. Anyone know him/her?
The page isn't really a page, just the folder, but you can open the flash file and it has a few things.

Yeah, it seemed do well-thought out...but it just frayed.

I've never done one of these, and the only reason I got caught up was because of Lazylaces.

It was fun while it lasted, guys!
