Design an ARG, Cure Cancer

[Mikeyj]

This sounds great! The fundraising arms of these big charities are quite competitive too, hopefully some of the others will notice the potential of the genre too.

If people want to donate for the ARG development fund how should they contact you?

Edit - Read first, comment later Mikey - if you want to donate:

I agree, this sounds like a very exciting venture.

Unfortunately I'm not in a position right now to be able to consider applying for a behind-the-scenes role.

I will, however, be keeping a keen eye on further developments of this project.

Good luck.

[Uberg33k]

Wow, this makes me wish I had an ounce of talent so that I could help out. Sorry I suck , I'll see what I can do about a donation instead.

[Shadom]

Totally cool!
I hope there ís going to be a team which I can joion (not confident enough to start my own...')

Such an awesome idea! Already gathering troops

[Rogi Ocnorb]

I was THIS close to posting an idea about setting up a grassroots fund for games with real potential and then Adrian hits us with this.

Awesome! While I'm not a good enough writer to even consider forwarding an idea, I'd love to be part of a team. I'm pretty good at research, continuity and puzzle design and can provide a voice of reason when things get a little "out there".

I lost my mother to cancer when I was 10 and have a certain passion about cancer research funding. It should be pretty easy to generate very high levels of passion and interactivity for the players in this. Visiting my mother in the hospital are still some of my most vivid memories. Add a bald child, a sinister drug company executive or two and a cure from across the galaxy and there's something for everyone.

If a team's being pulled together, I don't have much techie skills, but do have:

> A good imagination (with a couple of idea for ARGs already kicking about in my dome)
> Pretty good writing skills (well, I can spel)
> I don't need much sleep so fitting this round a full time job is cool
> Project management skills (it's my job)
> Reasonable with puzzles, from being around here for a while
> Have a really bad sense of humour (bad as in puntastic and twisted) which I think a good ARG should have.

Mhh seems that "we" would have enough members but no leader...

Perhaps we can start totaly democratic team? No leader but deciding everything together?



BTW. abaout me:

Pros:
-moderate skill in image and audioediting.
Basic skills in HTML/Java/Flash.
- german so I can write/speak it perfectly.
- roleplayer since 1998 and a fan fiction writer (all german).
- studying 'Politics and Economy in East-Asia with focus on Japan'. Due to that I can speak an write more or less in Japenese.
-good with acting (but I can't go to USA so this will probably not count except for phone calls)
- a lot of free time.
- different timezone (Germany!)


Contras:
- Germany . So no possibility to go to somewhere you are.
- new to the Arg scene.
- native German speaker, so i'm not perfect in English.

[ALISDAIRPARK]

I'd say in the spirit of Unfiction that no leader is the perfect way to go, as long as we have some overall organisation/ coordination (I'm happy to do that as long as everyone is OK with me ragging on them )

BTW...I've come up with the germ of a brilliant idea... (pun intended, told you my SOH was bad)

[plugs]

If anyone is looking for a team member then, count me in!

[AtionSong]

I've gotten a few ideas too, a few story related and a few good ways to raise funds. Should we start a separate forum where we could form teams and discuss ideas, or do PMs, or what?

[Adrian]

Cool to see a lot of people excited about the project

Just a quick note, I've had a few people ask about donating money to the development fund. I'm not actually seeking donations since I'd rather people save that for the game itself, but a couple of people have insisted, so the development fund is now over £1200, or $2400. It will probably go up a bit more in the coming weeks.

[Will 2.0]

I've got experience in the field but I don't think I can handle much more but if my help is needed I'll damn well jump in!

[Shadom]

Forum would be a nice one..
