All right, I feel like we've probably had enough time that me showing up here won't be a huge "ZOMG WHAT, IT'S OVER I HAD NO IDEA!" thing. Smile

Hi there, your friendly neighbourhood PM here, stepping out from behind the curtain and calling for a round of applause because you guys are AMAZING. Rock On

We're amazing? NO, YOU! Seriously though, for a first time PM you did a damn good job.

One question though, did we get the Ryan clip right? And if so, who the hell was he? Razz

Awww, thank you! That really means a lot to me, I was so afraid we'd get to the end and you'd all go "well that sorta sucked".

AHAHAH, no. That was mostly my fault, but it was "tell Sophie not to stay at Jessie's." Then there was failure on my part to extract it in a high enough quality to pick it out, and the plot shifted, so it wasn't even relevent anymore.

Well, we failed miserably there then Razz

But still, thanks a lot for doing this. Was extremely fun to be a part of. And if you ever do decide to do another ARG, make sure you send me the trailhead. Or even better, let me play some part in it! Think the others will share that thought too Wink

What was you original story/outcome? What was your vision for how it would originally end?

Originally, Sophie was going to disappear from Jessie's, and Donna was going to go poking around and find information about time, time travel, and TEC and that's why they were going to come after her. She was still going to end up, erm, laying in the snow. >.> But instead of the future!Donna, it was going to be a repeat of a clip I was going to record with Donna talking about how time is complicated and it doesn't work the way people assume.

But then you all started actually INTERACTING with me so much (I wasn't expecting that), and things shifted and changed and we got where we did. Somewhat less story, but more interaction.

Well, you were really easy to interact with, lol! I think the videos helped with that, too. Not the weird creepy stuff, but just the talking. The panicking helped, too. Made it all pretty believable. You gave us a lot of access to Donna, too. Twitter, blog, chat, email, youtube. It was a really good time.

Well, my personal life pretty much disappeared. XD but it was fun, creating her and her motivations, and figuring out how she'd react to everything.

Well I think you should definitely do another one sometime. I know I had a blast playing. I also learned a lot about Dr. Who Very Happy

It seems to be coming in handy for another game...

I think the PM for that is lurking here, and just dropping 'cameo' stuff. Razz

I think that PM knows I'm a noob and is trying to make me feel smart and then shoot me down. LOL.

*ahem*

Bixi -- at what point did you have to start changing stuff around because of us?

Ooo, colour me intrigued. What else are you playing, Dawn?

God, pretty quick. The fact that you guys actually corresponded with Donna so much, instead of just using her email address as the starting point for following all her other accounts from a distance, that's what started it. I started worrying around 12 hours into it, and by the time Sunday hit, I was pretty sure things were going to have to change.

Vanessa Atalanta. Dr. Who references have intermittently come up. Not sure what they mean in the context of the story, though. I think we have an idea of time flux stuff, but nothing concrete.

We could seriously use some help. Do you have a PHD in 'Understanding the calculated word-games of an old psychopath' ?

Nope, but I do understand crazy old English men. My father happens to be one of them. I'll finish reading then see what I make of it Wink

Why is all this stuff spoilered?

I just wanted to say thanks for the fun, and you did a good job thinking on your feet. The player interaction is a lot of what makes ARGs so fun, from both sides of the curtain, and you had a really good group here. But you also weren't afraid to throw the plot in the trash and go with what your players were creating, which speaks well of you as a PM. Some are afraid to do that, and the sense that a game is 'on the rails' can be very frustrating as a player.

And to the rest of the crew here, thanks for letting me tag along. Ya done good. Worshippy
