After all the questions I was getting from PMs about "why do you play...what do you like in a game....what would make you want to play a game...do you mind product placement...etc"; I thought maybe the PMs would like to see a "player panel" where they can ask these types of questions of ARG players.

Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel? Twisted Evil

Seriously though I agree with Konamouse on that - some of the more prolific players to discuss what draws them to the games and what they'd like to see from future developments.

Trent would be cool, but beyond that I'd personally like to see someone who was a decision maker for a company that used someone to develop a game for them. I think this would give us the ability to see from the perspective of the people who have commissioned some of the great games out there.

Granted I only played one game this year, but I'd like to see someone from Fundi Technology there. It'd be interesting to hear about running the website from Deus City

Any chance of getting the people at CourtTV who decided to launch "Save My Husband" -- and/or the techies who ran it for them?

I just thought of a way that i could actually come to ARGFest '08. How? If I was invited to speak.

So, yes, you heard that right.

Invite me.

I'm sure I can find a phone number and email for Catherine. Or she can be reached at gameLab. I think team management/moral is a specialty for which she does presentations.
