ok I missed yesterday, but why does everyone think the game is over?

Did we find everything?

Trying to read through the updates

Don't we at least have to bring the site back to the present?

And what about those haunted tables?

[aliendial]

The haunted tables are archives, of a sort. Although the set seems incomplete. So maybe a couple more coming? Plus of course the finale connected to the live event tomorrow. But with Don dead, Matt home, killers killed, is there more to accomplish on the story?

[rose]

More to accomplish? I can think of a few things. (what is the status of Corazon's operation?) what about Kerry - now that he isn't cursed and his mother isn't cursed, what changes there? Celebrity poker? Last word on the gold (or did I miss that? ) Lucy and her family unite?

Say good bye and RIP Lucky and Victor? One last poker game? A last reward for the leaders?

A final word from Kerry?

And I say, dehaunt the place of the ghosts

And move the site back to the present, when the credits will roll?

[aliendial]

Well... this was the story of Lucy. I think the other characters may be left with loose ends. Maybe a thank you from Lucky, although his card already says that.

I do agree there should be one last tournament, but note the site never changed the date from Nov. 16, so I guess not.

And the cards all reflect their proper eras while the home page is in the era of the product - GUN - so maybe there's a good reason not to move the main site back to present day.

I guess we'll see tomorrow.

Further support for moving back to the present:

This place (the LCP website and its tables) has been referred to as a Purgatory by at least one character. It seems to me Lucky has been able to call up various souls affected by the Gun, because they were all tied together by the curse of it.

We may never find out the true endings of many of the characters, but I'd feel a bit better knowing that Victor and Tony and Alex and Ben and Maurice and everyone else are released from the tables to finally rest.

That's what the wakes are for, after all. Lucky's called up old cards, gotten new pockets from 2005, and now the tournament of the Gun is over. L.A. finishes the job.

[konamouse]

I totally agree that our "job" is to help release those who have passed in 2005 to their final destination (rather than stuck playing poker - as much as I'll miss them) and return the poker tables to the present (but that was my spec a few weeks ago when I suggested Hollywood Forever cemetery for LA's site). We need that epilogue. Isn't that also part of a great western?

I'm still intrigued why LA for the final Graveyard Games:
It has internet & video play access (wouldn't that be just awesome if the folks at home got to see stuff live, or we got to see a video that the folks at home were seeing?)
It's in LA where most film industry folks live (better for live interaction)
It's got famous folks (and, very coincidentally, great-grandpa, great-great grandparents)
Why have it scheduled following the final showdown if there wasn't an epilogue

/me & konashark will see you tomorrow. I'm tickled about this one.

Re: Game Over?

[Raider]

My first ARG here as well and I was involved in it from the get go -minus a day or two thanks to Boing Boing. I also found this site from the LCP forums.

I'm glad I joined and yes! I finally got a card on the last Saturday update.

I also found out by beating each level of Gun that there are actually 4 codes for Secret of the Safe in each game.

I think playing LCP definitely gave me a leg-up on people just buying Gun from Gamestop because it looked like a cool game. That ammo dump in the badlands helped alot.

I'm looking for the next ARG and like many others hope I'm not disappointed by the awesomeness of this one.

Shad0 - back in this thread when I said Gold I meant the Civil War Gold - or did Sullivan spend it all?


In lucky's last game you quoted - he clearly says it is almost time to leave but not yet. When he uses the word "Goodbye" - he is referring to a comment made by Goodbye Skye Harbor.

We know that at least we will have to do another favor for lucky - didn't they say bring a radio? So I am assuming we have to do something at the cemetery to bring the site back to 2005 and allow Lucky to rest in peace.

I for one, am willing to bet that Lucky still has a trick or two up his sleeve and I don't think they will all take place in LA. This game has always surprised me.

Anyone care to make a wager?

[krystyn]

I'm betting with rose. Psst, we can pool our (fake) chips.
