notbody has done anything wrong and I applaud the players on doing this since this is how a pm is helped to grow up. Remember the beast we beat months worth of puzzles in weeks. They had to become creative and that creativity created an arg universe.

Keep it up folks every mistake we can show them makes them stronger.

I just reviewed Rachel's blog again, and I find it interesting that Garthazoid only posted once that I could find. He was quoted many times after that though. On his blog he thanks DJ Dan for the shoutout. So he is either in-game or pretending to be. If he's pretending to be, he is sure staying quiet and laying low. I would think a pretender would be pretending because they want attention and would therefore have a hard time staying quiet for long. Definitely looks suspicious. I'm curious Matt and Vexing, do you think you would have gone the same route with the questioning of Rachel, or was it Garthzoid's post that set you off? Did you suspect he was in-game when you picked up on his lead? I guess no one has had any luck IM'ing him.

Garthazoid is the person who told DJ Dan about Rachel's blog - http://lostpedia.com/wiki/DJ_Dan_June_26_transcript

I'm starting to think Garthzoid is probably In-Game. How else could he tell DJ Dan about Rachel's blog? Does anyone know how people can call DJ Dan when he never lists a phone number to call or says when or where his supposedly live show will be broadcast? And, as has been stated above, it's extremely rare for someone who's pretending to be an In-Game character to post only a few times as that character.

Jenna, et al
Another term that basically means the same as DM (Dugeon Master) is GM (Game Master). "DM" implies that the role-playing game being played or referred to is "Dungeons and Dragons". "GM" implies that the role-playing game being played or referred to is something other than "Dungeons and Dragons".

Maybe the next time ABC is looking for writers for a ARG, they should ask if they have any experience in playing or running a role-playing game?

The dungeon masters work in an RPG is to tell the story, as well as checking so everyone is doing allright, and having fun, checking so the difficulty of the game is not to easy or to hard. To see if the game is balanced, and of course, to let people try their ideas in the game. And try to bend the story of the game to player satisfaction.
