BTW really like the characters talking to each other, great realism. This is def playing out to be a top ARG.


Here's why I don't like it:
Because it takes the players out of the loop. We just end up watching them have a conversation when we should be the ones doing the conversing. Yes, it might be more realistic (If I were a Chosen, I'd want to talk to another Chosen too!), but the gameplayers are not actually *doing* anything in this instance except waiting on the outcome of whatever interaction these characters are supposed to be having...

 		But it was player interaction that brought them together. I think it was the PMs way of letting us know we did the right thing, it's not like they are having a long conversation, it's just 2 posts.

 		Dante, I think your point is valid for Rabbitholes/ Experiences, I don't like "playing" them either as there is little, or no, interaction. However I don't think this will be the case here.

I guess it comes down to scale, if there's a little it's cool, and adds to the reality, but too much, especially if it takes us out of the loop sucks.

EDIT: OMG The skulls want to have FUN?

Team effort led to here: http://www.myspace.com/skyskull. Not confirmed yet.

The words in capitals pointed us to Myspace MINE=My ROOM=Space. And the rest of the riddle, combined with the pic pointed to Skyskull

solved by RedHatty:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You are nice people Skyskull likes you. You all met onixskull. O Onix shull doesn't like to talk. Onixskull is anti-social. Skyskull likes to talk. Skyskull talks all the time but no one listens to skyskull. Soon skyskull will have to give you puzzle then skyskull will have to leave you. skyskull doesn't want to leave you. If skyskull leaves you, skyskull can't talk anymore.


And then a riddle to solve:

Quote:
What has many small curves but turns into one large square?

Don't know if it's important or not but in the riddle many is spelled manny.
ETA: the strikethrough above and that manny has been corrected to many.
And this was added to the riddle:
Quote:
It also can be very fun to do or very artistic.

 		I'm guessing that 'skyskull' is the one that Missy talks about that "doesn't ever shut up." :p

 		The Clue is in his pics, a pic of a jigsaw puzzle piece.

Lots of curves, makes a square, can be fun or artistic

A Jigsaw Puzzle!

I sent in my answer, & Skyskull updates its myspace to add,
Quote:
What was that RedHatty? Did you say you wanted a Jigsaw Puzzle?

and a pic that you will see here at the Online Jigsaw Puzzle
