pervasive games fest, London, May 11-13

[Fridge]

It would be a shame to see this topic disappear off the face of the board without any replies no?

Will there be a website viewable in the near future for charming punters to peruse the games that will be taking place?

Also im not entirely certain if my memory is working here but i think Come out and Play got some coverage on the front page of ARGN.. im hoping this may too.. Considering that IonARG is pushing for widespread recognition of Alternate Reality Games it would be a shame to shun or ignore Urban/Big/Pervasive Games that dont run through the internet.

I'm also a little surprised in the lack of interest this post has inspired. Is there any further spec on what kinds of game can be submitted and by when?

Please don't attribute any ill intent to the lack of response here.

Come Out and Play got press in ARGNet because I was lucky enough to get advance notice of it and planned to be in NYC for that time. I also knew Jane McGonigal was going to be there which helped make it more interesting for an ARG audience. I also believe I met one of the Punchdrunk Theater people there--(Hi Alex! You were the Diplomat, right?)

As much as I'd love to go to London for this, someone else who is actually in the UK will have to do the reporting duties this time around. (Any takers? Contact ARGNet and maybe you can be our Reporter on the Spot!)

I do know on it's the ARGNet list of things to write about, but keep in mind that all the staff are volunteers writing stories in their "spare" time. Sometimes things have to wait a bit, and sometimes they get bumped for stories we think are of more interest to our core audience.

It does sound like a great event, and I highly encourage anyone who can get to London for it to participate. If it's half as good as COAP was, it will be a wicked fun time.

I for one wasn't implying any journalistic lack of interest, more that I'm surprised there aren't any contributory offers on here.

I'm already up on there - after a fashion - if you want, I can remove the previous message or add spoiler tags if it WAS meant to be a secret.

[ammonite]
