Welcome, Pia. Benjamin is related to this: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28011

disza, I think you mixed that up: "Benjamin Linus" is a character from LOST. Over at the Linian Society ARG we deal with the Benjamin Smyth Institute. Laughing No need to read the thread, pia, it's not related to hallucinine.

Thanks for clearing that up for me Trillian. However, after reading Randal Podes blog I think I will keep up with that one too. What a great story!

Getting annoyed

I am getting really annoyed with this PM. He knows that there are a good amount of people who are spending a lot of time searching and messaging and trying to figure out what this is. And how does he reward us? By not responding to messages and barely updating the site. I know I need to be patient, but it still kinda sucks. He needs to keep things interesting if he wants people to continue.

You're getting upset over a game?

Way to stick with TINAG, there guys. The pacing confuses me a bit too, but I am taking into account that we're dealing with someone who is mentally ill. For me, at least, that answers a lot of questions I have.

I haven't played these games nearly as long as some on here have... but I can tell you that this pm is NOT doing a bad job. There are some games that have gone for WEEKS without any clues, hints, updates... I think we have a great pm...

If nothing else, I'm having fun with the mind warp of it all. I guess the crazy factor that is a negative to a lot of people makes things fun for me. Then again, I'm a bit weird myself.

Adam JUST called me...
he called my cell phone!!

Ok... Adam called me JUST now...
He talked for quite a while, and did answer and ask questions.
He mainly wanted me to pass along to everyone that if this is frustrating for us, just imagine if this was YOUR LIFE... he's confused, tired, no money, and don't always remember things.
He says that other than calling me, he wants everyone to know that he HAS NOT called ANYONE.... (he really stressed that). He also said that to prove to everyone that it was really him, he made a new page at hallucinine by typing in

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

/trust

- he said my name would be on that page. He said if he calls anyone else, he will add them also so he can keep up with who he's spoken to.
He says he's very confused right now. And PLEASE be patient with him.
He has tolerated with this torment all of his life, and it can't be all for nothing... he HAS TO FIND A PURPOSE. He is also very afraid that his "sickness" may have already spread to some of us. Some of us are becoming consumed by these messages as he is. He is worried about us also.
Cassandra called him on an old cell phone that he sometimes uses, and is wanting him to come back. I THINK that I talked him out of it.
I told him to just give it some time because until the issues about these messages are solved, he is no better than before.. he has no money for a bus ticket right now, so he agreed.
He writes, and draws, and takes photos so he can be able to account for his time and things that happen.

I told him that his "messages" revealed to us that now is not the time to leave. He says he is aware that they use him to write out these messages, but he does not always know what the messages are.
I asked him if he ever got the sense that some of these "voices/beings?" were good and trying to help, but maybe some voices were trying to stop him from sharing his messages and truths... and he did say that he sometimes kinda does get that feeling.

----
I was going to record it, but he knew this before he called.... that's why he called the cell. His first question was to ask if I was recording, and I told him no, but that I could. He asked me not to, so I didn't.
He voice was normal... and he sounded very nice actually! No masking or altering, or background noises, voices, music or anything.

---whew! SUPER COOL.....

edit---
I also asked him if he was totally 100% sure that it was REALLY Cassandra that had called him to ask him to come back... and he said the connection was really bad, and he couldn't be completely sure.

Don't worry. I have been slightly annoyed as well. Mostly with the fact that he got really irritated at us after we had been asking him over and over again whether or not that was Cassandra's number, when he could have simply answered someone. (From what I've seen.. he didn't answer ANYONE.. at least not the unfiction group) We've been on the subject of her number for a week. A good PM keeps an eye on things and when he sees that his/her players are calling some innocent woman and bugging her, they should be able to step in and do something that discourages the behavior. Preferably... not a week or more later. This is assuming she's still OOG... which could change again, I'm guessing.

Honestly, it's not that unrealistic to expect the game to go at a faster pace than it is. It was hyped for 2 months, some of us have been waiting for this. AND we have a time frame to get things done in.

We'll just have to roll with it. No biggy. There's a couple other games starting up that us impatient people can poke around with while we wait.

This is pre-Casey's message.
PM, if you're watching, thank you for clearing things up.

I know what you mean, I'm knew too. But! I think is waiting for that week was actually a part of the game. He needed to be woken up - and our impatience and words are what did it. Sounds all in game to me. Also, coming from a PM point of view - it's really difficult if not impossible to answer every message and post. So please don't be to upset. We can't help but admit that the game has been intriguing and the avant garde website and completely mental storyline is inspirational.

I understand. If you come across this post Adam, I apologize. Lesson learned.

I would think that with all the rumors and hearsay and false info that inevitably catch on within any ARG's player base, trying to squelch every bit of false info and attempting to control every little facet of the game (outside the website) would turn into a full time job for the PMs and would result in more time being spent doing damage control than creating and running the game itself. Sounds like a recipe for madness.

Just my $.02
