 		Are there "unwritten" rules to character interactions, etc?
I've pretty much just followed ARGs from the sidelines, The Lost Experience, Cloverfield etc... until now, I'm starting up with ]Aporia Agathon, and was just wondering if its ok to contact IG characters, like comment on their youtube videos and the like; and asking questions. I mean , i am staying In-Game, talking to them like they're actual ppl not actors in an ARG. Just wondering so I dont frak anything up, and ruin the experience for others...

 		YES! That's the fun of real ARGs (as opposed to viral marketing/contests). Players interact with characters and sometimes have an effect on the story. A good PM can maintain control of the story no matter what the players throw. If you are playing a game and are not sure about what you should reveal to a character, you can always ask for ideas/suggestions/feedback in the META area (where the players discuss the game outside of the game's universe, like here on uF).
