I really dig the mutual appreciation society you guys have going here.

Just kidding. You guys have all been helpful, at least to me, in many aspects of the process. This is my first ARG, and hopefully not my last, and I can see the amount of patience and commitment it would take to see one of these through. I can get a little overzealous sometimes, sort of the " new guy helps the team win " sort of thing for me. Plus the fact that I cannot stand the thought of some IT goof sitting at the office giggling to himself about how smart he is. I want to come out of left field and nail this sucker. (the game, not the IT guy)

So, good luck to everyone, and if you see me making an ass-clown out of myself, step up and tell me.

And is there any way possible one of you guys could airdrop some chips and burritos out over the Indian Ocean, bout 2 hrs off of Australia would be cool. Thanks!!

I know you were kidding but I was thinking the same thing. Still, I believe it's a good thing.

As someone who has been online since before the World Wide Web (www to you yung'un's) was invented, this has been one of the best investments in my online time I have ever had.

Needless to say, I have never been involved in an "ARG" and didn't know the meaning of the phrase until I found Unfiction. Since I work a lot of retail hours I can't follow along as much as I'd like to but this has become the first and, probably, the only place I come to, to get up to the minute news.

I've had fun and I hope it's only the beginning of many fun hours in my future!

Back when I found about ARGs (Sadly, I found them searching for LonelyGirl15. If you think this game had a bad gamejackers case, you don't know about Cassie ) I was informed very early that the best part of an ARG is the sense of comunity. And it has been like that in every game I've followed.

Sure, a lot of that is arguing, but it's all to get the big reward at the end. And after the PMs chat (altought I doubt we'll be having one here), you're left with nothing but good memories and a lot of cool aquitances. If you're lucky, even some good friends.

Speaking of chat, could someone favor us with the IRC server link for all the channels each of these fora is supposed to have?
I'd love to chit-chat with some of these folks in real time.

The channel for 1-18-08 which has become too quiet after the buzz died done is #slusho the irc server is
irc.chat-solutions.org


Unfiction has a general channel for chat at #unfiction.

I tried to make this point before, but I probably didn't do it very well. My point is that in this community people can have opposing ideas and still function extremely effectively. For a simple example. It is possible for one person, or a group of people to say things like "I disagree, whats-her-name from the Gossip Girl couldn't possibly be Jamie." Meanwhile someone else says "Sarah Elliot looks just like Jamie."

It is just different opinions and ideas. The worse thing that can happen in a game (and I would argue, in life as well) is group-think. That means we tolerate and respect others ideas, opinions, etc. We value new input into problems.

It doesn't mean that we should, or do, tolerate trolls or spam from malicious people. I think most people understand the line here.

I'm not sure this is the best motivation (but whatever works for you.) I don't think the best PMs or IT guys involved in a game laugh at the players. Without the players they don't have jobs. Also, we tend to wipe the smirk off the faces of people who think they are really smart because however you define us: as a community, collective, or, my favorite, a loosely defined Mongol horde -we are smarter and more effective than any one individual. No one can deny that.

I for one thank the masses here at unfiction for welcoming me into the fold.Without you guyz i'd go crazy(not that i'm not already a lil)

Not to mention i feel like a part of a semi detective team...and teams rule.


Detectives do also.

Onward to clues!! Surprised

There's no I in team, but there is in Cloverfield... and unficiton... in fact there's two. Either way this is a team, an awesome team. We fight, we argue, we hate comments each other have said but then you look in another thread and the same people who were arguing are best friends. It's a pretty special thing we got goin here. I'd take a digital bullet for you guys anyday.

I agree about the teamwork on this board. But what is going to happen when this supposed "contest" begins, and we're all (presumably) pitted against one another for some prize? Hopefully it won't hinder the clue-sharing and congeniality here.

i don't believe it will, we all have a mutual respect for one another, if it does end up being one of us who wins this prize, yeah we'll be disappointed we didn't get it, but if it did mean that, i would try to help The Doc or Dalphx or anyone else I talk to regularly to win the prize, if indeed there is one. No point in fighting over it. The movie will come out either way.
