things stay put if their hidden right, but then that doesn't guarantee that the ones who are meant to find it can.

The main problem with this is that we have no one who can get to the location of the first clue. Had anyone been able to go to the first location in New York, I believe the rest would have flowed smoothly from there, regardless of what other less-than-popular game it might be connected to. The frustration, I think, stems from a fault that is ours, not the PM's. If someone made it to New York and couldnt get the drop, then I'd start griping, but it isn't fair to the PM's, in my opinion, to complain when we haven't done the work.

And if it was some remote unpopulated out of the way hole in the ground, I could understand the complaint of "well, we couldn't get there, so it is the PM's fault", but, again in my opinion, it is New York, New York, USA, and not the edges like some wharehouse in Queens, but right next to the Empire State Building. If we can't get someone there to find it, that's totally our own fault.

IDK, if I were running this I would not have released more info until the first drop was taken. Instead we split our minds trying to figure out 3-4 at one time.

I'm with both ya, we were trying to figure out a lot at one time and i'm sure some of it needs more info than we have that we'd get at the drops. Still, i'm sure the PM figured the drops would be picked up almost instantly, and wanted the mystery to keep us interested while we wait for the guys to get back with the drop stuff.

Its just too bad all my connections to NY are on the other side of the state.

Cleptomanx, I'm sitting at your table. I agree with everything you said. If a game has stalled like this one has, it's not a player issue.

If we even had a puzzle to work through while we waited, anything!

I think I agree with a little bit of everything. The one thing that has probably crossed my mind the most however - is that even the "puzzles" we've had so far, weren't even puzzles.

I mean, to be honest - the first email I got and saw the coordinates - I immediately dismissed them as coordinates because well, that would be too easy! Only after not having any luck with other ideas did I actually plug it into Google Earth.

As far as "normal" ARG's go - this one hasn't really asked anything of us - except for the drops we either can't get to, or can't find.

I dunno - I hate to be negative about it, because I'd like to think that a lot of preparation went into this by the PM's - and that they're as excited about running it as we were about playing it. Maybe right now, they're trying to figure out a way to adapt to the current dillema, to get the game moving again.

I gotta say I like the IDEA of the game. God machine? How can you not like it? But so far execution has left a lot to be desired. Why did I get a trailhead to Aladygma related stuff anyway? I've never even looked at those forums, let alone posted in them. I am a fairly reliable trailhead poster, but still...

Maybe we're still being jerked around?

I am sad to announce that nothing was found by my friend. But again he didnt do a detailed search.

I am out of this aladygma !#%^@
