Y'know, this could be two things: That could be the credits page, and he's calling what we've done an "Audio Play," or that could be the launch point for other stuff, and he's calling the future installments an "Audio Play."

I'm hoping that he doesn't call the previous stuff that, as the five or so phone calls we overheard were hardly the meat of the story - it seemed to be a lot of other things that drove it forward, and the audio was just sort of there to fill in some gaps. In large part, I was unimpressed with the quality of the voice acting, and hope that's not indicative or what's to come (if something is to come). I thought the others parts of the game were much stronger than that aspect by far.

EDIT: Okay, NOD, seriously, please sign up for an account. It's simple, quick, and painless. Your last URL is stretching the screen, and if you were able to edit it, it'd be easy to fix. Now a mod'll have to do it. It'll also ensure no one can pose as you on the boards, and that we can send you private messages.

well... after reading 65 pages of posts... I feel that I have missed the boat on this one... this was going to be my first foray into ARG but... it would seem that the ship has sailed. Guess all there is to do is wait and see how it plays out...

I'm attaching a PILE of spoilers from the video. If you don't want to know the end, scroll well past my post.

There's still a bit to be done, yet. The question really is, though, do we just roll over and take it, or do we try to change the end? If we just take it, this is the end of the line - I can't really picture playing knowing what we know, Meta-wise. I say we at least try to contact JC, tell him. Tell him what our "alternate source" told us.

Has there been any hints throughout that might point to the Chinese doing it as a setup? If so, we can focus on that and attempt to bring it to JC's attention.

Wow...awesome. I think I'll listen to this podcast. It seems both we and JC have been chasing a carrot tied to a stick the whole time. I wonder if they'll give us some kind of participation in it? Will we be able to interact with characters? That would be great.

[Darren Knight]

Ive been reading up about how Xavier run these kind of podcasts and it seems he keeps alot of listener iteraction where you can read through the script, make storyline suggestions, etc. before the podcast is released.

EDIT: does anyone remember StarKnight from the beginning? That is the production team that makes this podcast, StarKnight production. That just hit me a couple of minutes ago.

Wait - there was a China connection:

Aside from the fact JC works at the Chinese embassy (which is likely how they tipped him off to go find their scapegoat) recall the final directory on the page with the debrief information (which was made to look Saudi). The final directory was in Chinese.

Anyone want to bring up that incriminating evidence to JC, and try to paint things correctly to save the day?

Or are we just letting it die?

[Nereus_Theophilus]

I think we should just let it play out. I am not to sure JC will be interacting with us till the last day.

[Cr0ybot]

This is kinda funny, because I was listening to Xavier's Silent Universe today, and in the first episode the main characters, who thought they were working for America, find out that they were set up by the Chinese.

Does Marcus not like the Chinese?

[Salsaman1991]

He prolly thinks they're just too fishy...

[Darren Knight]

lol, they seem very incriminating throughout history but that is besides the point...

I think we should play on as if we never found the discovery. I doubt that the PM will change the video, storyline, and podcast just because we have found the ending which would happen anyway in about 3 days

[Doug52392]

That's the end? I don't think its really the end. That video seemed to just tell us something, but more is still to come. The video was added very recently, possibly deliberately, onto Google's cache.
