 		Coming back...
Today, on a whim, I suddenly decided to come back to what was once my internet home here at Unfiction. Giddy with the anticipation of exciting new puzzles, character interactions, and new twists on the genre, I logged in for what was the first time in months.
As I began to browse the forums, though, it seems as if things have tapered off. I found few exciting new prospects, and it seems as if the only major running at the moment is the ever-present Perplex City. So, what's the deal? Where are all the games?
It seems as if after a sudden flux of games, everything died out. I remember a time where there was a new game (albeit probably a crappy one) every day. Maybe I just haven't given it enough time. Maybe I just need to wait for that brilliant new alternate reality experience to appear. I think that's what I'll be doing for a bit.

See you all in IRC sometime.

 		Well, yes, if what you're looking for is a big corporate game, you've hit a downtime.

 		Yeah, there seems to be a lot of grassroots games, and one or two fairly significant, but well rooted ARGs. Nothing that seems to scream "Play me! Play me!" to newcomers... lots of stuff going on though, but I think a lot of people are at the moment more likely taking part in a bit of a bunch, rather than focusing on few, or one...
well that was some unexpected aliteration

Guess you didn't look in the Potentials Forum.

Sammeeeees
Ny Taka....The End....that string of numbers, you know Embarassed

So far these apparent grassroots games are going pretty darn strong (for a change).

Jump in, the water's great!

Hmm... seems as if things aren't as simple as they looked at first glance...Sorry, I'm out of practice. I'm off to view the source now.
