 		ARGASM
An ARGASM is experienced when during interaction in an Alterante Reality Game with one of the "In-Game" characters you are able to achieve the peak of sexual satisfaction.

The interaction might include an email, chat, phone call, or real-world meeting.

An ARGASM is not an "every game" experience.

 		OOh, does that mean someone is getting ready an X-rated ARG soon?????
We've discussed this before in chat. Adult-version of an ARG.
Consider the possibilities.
Consider the challenge of filtering the game-spam from the p0rn spam.
Consider the risk of under-age players gaining access to the game sites and freaking out their parents.

 		I think someone has been watching too many Frasier reruns and confused them with humor. Rolling Eyes

 		I'd think the definition would be more like, "When you finally figure out that puzzle that's been stalling the game for weeks".

I agree and said something similarly in chat. I actually like the term "ARGasm" but was rather put off by the definition. Didn't say anything because I figured I was just being a prude and was glad to see that others felt similarly. Since I'm not alone in my thoughts, I say we hijack the term and use it for good!

argasm
n.
1. The moment when a puzzle is solved, esp when the puzzle has been particularly difficult. It is characterized by strong feelings of pleasure and by a series of involuntary contractions of the brain muscle, usually accompanied by with periods of disbelief followed by an intense A HA!.

2. A similar point of intensity of emotional excitement such as when you recieve an ingame phone call or unexpected email.

Feel free to edit or add on to this suggested definition which was pretty much copied from the dictionary.com's definition of orgasm.

And when the solve filters it's way around the ARG community over and over again, a multiple argasm.

Thought it was rather inappropriate as well. Especially when said in-game character is being played by someone of the opposite sex.

Thanks for hijacking the term Imbri.
