Jefferson Memorial is my answer ...

[aliendial]

uh no. If you COULD see the LM from the Jefferson Memorial (you can't), you would be seeing it from its southeast corner. NOT the view you saw in the game (northeast corner). Now if you submerged yourself in the Potomac River... Please.

I originally sent this as a PM, but I think that others in this thread may need to hear it as well:

The original (and still top) purpose of unfiction is a forum for the open discussion & META for Alternate Reality Games. It exists outside any game universe so no game characters allowed. And PMs (Puppet Masters) are not suppose to react to posting or information in here (unless someone playing the game has communicated that information directly to an ingame character).

By popular demand (okay, last year there was a little contest that had a very ARG element to it, cough, AoTH, cough) and UF opened up non-ARG threads for some online gaming at special request. But first & foremost we are here as a collective community and for fun above all else.

Please do not judge all of UF because of some folks in a contest thread. That is why there are not more contest threads in here - when a prize or money is at stake, some folks get a little weird or overprotective. Even territorial where they have no right to be so (since this forum is NOT their territory - it belongs to SpaceBass and he has invited us to play ARGs with him).

Come out of the contest threads and start exploring the real ARG world and you will find a much richer, friendlier world of folks in UF.

knoamouse,

Thank you for your reply. It was informative. Since Volvo Hunt was my first real experience in forums I have not explored the ARG world. Quite frankly I could not have a semi-intelligent conversation about it. Possibly once I experienced it-it may be right up my alley. I may know more about it than I think-possibly not. But thank you for the guidance in how to look at unfiction.

I usually disregard the coments that sound like there may be $$ in the speakers eyes. I am old enough to have heard that way too often. I usually will listen to others experience and advice since I don't like to repeat history in the mistake arena of life. There are a lot of good people that like to give that advice because they really don't want to see others go through the bad stuff too. I think a young adult (age 19-35 or so) could stop to take that kind of advice too. It's like cheating on a game where 'that' cheating should be a help not a shortcut. That kind of cheating is allowed in life.

All in all I will go exploring BECAUSE of the tight knit group that started this "public forum".

ROSE:

I agree with you. You played nice. There was no reason for you to take my post as anything towards you. I think if you read the forum from the beginning you will catch on as to I was referring to.

And please many answers were acceptable. In the beginning I answered Ft. McHenry-Baltimore-Washington D.C.-The National Mall-Museum of History and Technology, Wash. D.C.-NMAH-NMAH-NMAH. My daughter started playing and I told her she should answer the LM at least once to cover herself. I could not critisize any answer. I just thought almost at first it was the SSB-NMAH. I just doubted myself thinking that was too easy. Again-dancing in the end zone because you are right is great-flaming someone because you think they are wrong is just not right.
You played nice rose!! Thanks for the team spirit.

All in all. The "guys" to whom I am referring to know who they are. I just think it would be big of you to admit it. I hope that those "guys" CAN understand how they behaved. And I think they are intelligent enough to have known that they each had a chance in-I couldn't guess-possibly 20,000-to have their entry picked. Heck playing a lottery scratch off game has better odds. So I don't think it was the $$ signs in their eyes. I still think that they thought they were going to play in their own private forum. They just should have let us know-then when the shy members or newbies try to help or ask for help-they are not ignored. Instead they had a kinda of shhh don't say too much here kinda game.

Thanks konamouse and rose.
