Dionysus - true, but it always seems the user that like the idea of ARGs pushing the limits and using the forums are the same users that just got flamed for breaking the rules - and are trying to talk their way out of it/get supporters for their moronic issues.

At the top of the screen there are two important links, for those self proclaimed noobs - one for PMs and one for new players. I suggest both are read.

Unfiction is an out of game website. Respect for PMs who break these rules is lost very quickly, games fizzle, and PMs will get the wrath of the Vulva Puppet.... Go ahead and search for the vulva puppet if you want to read a most wondrous thread jacking on the subject...

This is my only post on the issue here, and I will definatly not be lurking around/playing the game further.

Well, stuff like...Dave Tolomy. That guy recognizes Unfiction. And the only reason they're seeing unfiction is because they want to make sure people post things. They aren't posting themselves. SO yeah. Uh... i really dunno.

I'd say the basic idea behind the Unfiction being OOG is to make games more accessible to players.

Of course if your working against a huge evil corporation or <insert menacing character here> and you use public boards, they would easily be able to search the net and find out everything you know. So obviously, you could go and make a private board that is invite only, so your info remains -sekrit-, but as soon as you do this, no one else can really join in.

Saying Unfiction is OOG solves this problem, leaving the game open for other people to join in without compromising your info.

So basically, it's just easier to leave this place OOG and not try to -push the boundaries- or people will be forced to move to invite only boards and that's not really any fun.

I concur.

Oh I wasnt arguing the rules. I was saying regardless of your opinion of them, they ARE the rules an dmust be followed, and only the Powers That Be, like jamesi, can change that.

I'd also like to say that anyone who wants to puish the boundaries.. there are other ways to do it. Other boundaries to push. Other ways to scare the players. Seize upon them. Tryign to make UF ingame is a cheap attempt and frankly uncreative and degrades your reputation as a PM.

Who said we were scared? Razz Why, I welcome my new alien leaders with open arms. Just as long as they keep letting me talk to Chuck Norris.

CLuck you, Dio. Razz

IMPLOSION!!! EKO is OVER, due to time and people being offended by the way I make games (Again, cluck you dio. Why do you hate me so much?).
Whatever. Anyways, thanks for playing. This was my first project, so yeah, I'll be a little Ametuear. But this was just Practice.

I'm going to start some huge ARG in the spring, hopefully. I'm recruiting other PM's than myself. So those of you who played in this, watch out for an awesome ARG in Spring.

Yeah, I did this all by myself. You could tell, huh?

Well, thanks for playing. I'll tell Chuck Norris to say bye to everyone. Thanks to Chuckie for playing along.

Later, dudes,

Rusty

Game over, personal attacks started, thread locked.

I think that this might be a worthy subject for the meta forum, so please feel free to start a topic over there about it.
