this is more of a gAIM than an ARG

What do you mean? True, it's a gAIM, but that doesn't mean it's not an ARG.

I just got a shiver when reading that log. I don't know about you, but I happen to believe that pissing off the characters is a bad idea. But I might just be old-fashioned.

 		Wow. Umm this is all pretty cool. I must say that I'm interested, I just haven't gotten the chance to talk to our friend Mant1s yet, unfortunately. Hopefully, I can get involved in this. I'm needing something to fill the time. By the way

Mant1s going devil dog?

It's probably not relavent, but Merovingian was a particularly devious puzzle that appeared in the Unraveling during Urban Hunt.

Total number of numbers is devisable by 8, so I'm not ruling out a binary result possibility (replacing non-1 numbers with 0's).

42? I mean, it makes sense with the HHG2G movie reference in the subject.

 		Pissing off the characters is fun, reacting the way they dont think you'll react keeps the Pms on their toes. Weephun knows that better then anyone else I'd think. Laughing Anyways, hopefully this turns into more then a Gaim, if does, count me in. I wonder though, why would he at first refer to it as The Town of Cubes and then recently actually call it Perplex City? Oh and another thing, I added PractaMission to my buddy list, on the off chance that's how the threats we're being sent, but no dice so far.

 		OK, so the subheading to his Blog is "give me the answer to the universe" which in *his* universe should be 33, right? You know, the answer to life the universe and everything.
Unless the opposite rule still applies, at which point 33 is the questoin

I think he's got schizophrenia or something, multiple personalities, something like that. I'm thinking it's something like the new Gamecube game, Killer 7, if anyone knows what that is.

Hey
11:06:51 PM maniacalmant1s:
Hello.
11:07:07 PM rjmoriarty83:
You're that Doll-Controller everyone is talking about, right?
11:07:15 PM maniacalmant1s:
What?
11:07:19 PM rjmoriarty83:
puppetmaster?
11:07:28 PM maniacalmant1s:
what the hell is a doll-controller....yes...I'm a puppetmaster.....
11:07:38 PM maniacalmant1s:
everyone is talking about me?
11:07:51 PM rjmoriarty83:
Some people. They figure your behind the blueberries thing.
11:08:00 PM maniacalmant1s:
blueberries?
11:08:08 PM rjmoriarty83:
Some silly ARG that never came to fruition.
11:08:13 PM maniacalmant1s:
ah
11:08:14 PM rjmoriarty83:
You're working on an ARG right now, right?
11:08:19 PM maniacalmant1s:
em...no
11:08:25 PM maniacalmant1s:
I've been taking a break
11:08:34 PM rjmoriarty83:
oh yeah? Aren't you nearly finished, though?
11:08:41 PM maniacalmant1s:
Not that I know of?
11:08:55 PM rjmoriarty83:
I must be getting mixed up.
11:09:01 PM rjmoriarty83:
Can you tell me anything about your game?
11:09:04 PM maniacalmant1s:
Most likely.
11:09:10 PM maniacalmant1s:
My last game ended a few days ago.
11:09:29 PM rjmoriarty83:
oh I see. You are in between ARGs
11:09:35 PM rjmoriarty83:
I'm more mixed up than I thought. Sorry.
11:09:56 PM maniacalmant1s:
I probably won't be starting another ARG until June.
11:10:01 PM rjmoriarty83:
It is June
11:10:05 PM maniacalmant1s:
What?
11:10:07 PM rjmoriarty83:
Right now
11:10:08 PM maniacalmant1s:
No it's not.
11:10:12 PM maniacalmant1s:
Check your calendar.
11:10:19 PM maniacalmant1s:
It's may 26th.
11:12:06 PM rjmoriarty83:
Are you sure? Why don't you check your calendar. Mine continues to remind me that it is June 19th
11:12:14 PM rjmoriarty83:
What day of the week is it?
11:12:16 PM maniacalmant1s:
I will be right back.
11:12:22 PM maniacalmant1s:
It's a thursday
11:12:36 PM maniacalmant1s:
...
11:12:38 PM maniacalmant1s:
oh dear....
11:12:55 PM rjmoriarty83:
What's wrong?
11:12:56 PM maniacalmant1s:
where did the weeks go?
11:13:03 PM rjmoriarty83:
Have you been very busy recently?
11:13:08 PM maniacalmant1s:
No...
11:13:23 PM maniacalmant1s:
I've been sleeping a lot.
11:13:30 PM maniacalmant1s:
sleeping and staying in my house.
11:13:31 PM rjmoriarty83:
That must be it =) I once slept for a week straight
11:13:45 PM rjmoriarty83:
Maybe you should get out. Do you go to church at all?
11:13:50 PM maniacalmant1s:
yes...but....3 weeks?
11:13:56 PM maniacalmant1s:
Me? No. I don't believe in god.
11:14:27 PM rjmoriarty83:
So, what was your last ARG? I may have heard of it.
11:14:35 PM maniacalmant1s:
Project Ashcroft 2.
11:14:42 PM rjmoriarty83:
oh yeah. How did that go for you?
11:14:45 PM maniacalmant1s:
Not well
11:14:55 PM maniacalmant1s:
the first one was succesful. The second one melted.
11:15:20 PM rjmoriarty83:
oh well, can't win them all
11:15:27 PM rjmoriarty83:
I tried to do a local ARG here in Juneau, Alaska
11:15:39 PM maniacalmant1s:
...that must have been interesting.
11:15:40 PM rjmoriarty83:
Not a single person attempted to follow the pre-game trailhead. I guess it was too hard.
11:15:48 PM maniacalmant1s:
eheh.
11:15:55 PM maniacalmant1s:
My problem was that too many people bit.
11:16:00 PM rjmoriarty83:
Couldn't keep track?
11:16:04 PM maniacalmant1s:
and I placed trust on one player
11:16:11 PM maniacalmant1s:
who was VERY unreliable.
11:16:19 PM rjmoriarty83:
Which one was that?
11:16:26 PM maniacalmant1s:
Alaranth.
11:16:46 PM maniacalmant1s:
Eheh, you're the first person I'm going to tell this to.
11:16:54 PM maniacalmant1s:
Do you remember Lenny's Xanga?
11:17:02 PM rjmoriarty83:
No, what is that?
11:17:19 PM maniacalmant1s:
oh? it was an ARG that was a wierd spinoff of ILB
11:17:30 PM rjmoriarty83:
I see
11:17:37 PM maniacalmant1s:
apparently one of the team members launched it ahead of schedule and it melted down.
11:17:47 PM rjmoriarty83:
He just went rogue with it?
11:17:51 PM maniacalmant1s:
well, same thing happened to PA2
11:17:54 PM maniacalmant1s:
yes, he was angry.
11:18:01 PM maniacalmant1s:
on my team however, it was an accident.
11:18:11 PM maniacalmant1s:
it launched 3 weeks ahead of schedule.
11:18:26 PM maniacalmant1s:
and we frantically tried to make it work
11:18:30 PM rjmoriarty83:
wait.. so you had a game launch 3 weeks ahead, and now you just lost 3 weeks?
11:18:32 PM maniacalmant1s:
we failed.
11:18:39 PM maniacalmant1s:
yes...
11:18:46 PM maniacalmant1s:
hey...that's kind of...off....
11:18:48 PM rjmoriarty83:
How long you have been ARGing, mantis?
11:18:59 PM maniacalmant1s:
moi? I got into it around the middle of ILB.
11:19:03 PM maniacalmant1s:
but I didn't play much.
11:19:04 PM rjmoriarty83:
ah, same as me
11:19:07 PM maniacalmant1s:
I'm mostly a PM.
11:19:10 PM rjmoriarty83:
I was into AWARE, at the time, though
11:19:13 PM rjmoriarty83:
Have you heard of that?
11:19:20 PM maniacalmant1s:
I've heard of it.
11:19:27 PM rjmoriarty83:
How many games have you PMed since you started?
11:19:36 PM maniacalmant1s:
eh....2
11:19:45 PM rjmoriarty83:
PA was your first?
11:19:46 PM maniacalmant1s:
just the PA series.
11:19:47 PM maniacalmant1s:
yes.
11:19:53 PM maniacalmant1s:
it was mostly luck.
11:19:55 PM rjmoriarty83:
That's amazing. If what I"ve heard is true, you are quite talented.
11:20:06 PM maniacalmant1s:
eheh, thanks.
11:20:09 PM rjmoriarty83:
Mind giving me a quick summary of what it was about?
11:20:11 PM maniacalmant1s:
it was luck though.
11:20:20 PM rjmoriarty83:
heh, PMs use luck and ride it like a horse, I hear
11:20:27 PM maniacalmant1s:
ha.
11:20:31 PM maniacalmant1s:
I would agree.
11:21:00 PM rjmoriarty83:
So, can we expect to see a PA3? I would definetly play that.
11:21:07 PM maniacalmant1s:
ahah.
11:21:11 PM maniacalmant1s:
I doubt it.
11:21:20 PM maniacalmant1s:
I have two ARG's currently in pre-production.
11:21:25 PM rjmoriarty83:
oh wow. Busy man.
11:21:33 PM maniacalmant1s:
one is my own, the other is a friend of mine.
11:21:38 PM maniacalmant1s:
I'm assistant PM on his.
11:21:43 PM maniacalmant1s:
but shhh, I can't tell you that.
11:21:59 PM rjmoriarty83:
heh okay
11:22:11 PM maniacalmant1s:
So...I see that Unfiction is watching me.
11:22:17 PM maniacalmant1s:
lovely.
11:22:23 PM rjmoriarty83:
You've drawn a bit of attention.
11:22:30 PM maniacalmant1s:
I noticed.
11:22:34 PM maniacalmant1s:
Let me just say this.
11:22:42 PM maniacalmant1s:
Whatever you think, this is NOT a game.
11:22:49 PM rjmoriarty83:
haha I get it. TINAG
11:22:52 PM rjmoriarty83:
That's what they all say Wink
11:22:53 PM maniacalmant1s:
no
11:22:55 PM maniacalmant1s:
no no no
11:22:57 PM maniacalmant1s:
you don't get it.
11:23:05 PM maniacalmant1s:
I have some....serious mental issues.
11:23:33 PM rjmoriarty83:
Did some doctor tell you that?
11:23:35 PM maniacalmant1s:
specifically, D.I.D and Schizophrenia.
11:23:37 PM maniacalmant1s:
yes.
11:24:09 PM maniacalmant1s:
I've taken many tests.
11:24:10 PM rjmoriarty83:
What is D.I.D.?
11:24:17 PM maniacalmant1s:
...sigh....
11:24:22 PM rjmoriarty83:
sorry
11:24:28 PM rjmoriarty83:
You don't ahve to explain
11:24:30 PM maniacalmant1s:
Disassociative-Identity-Disorder
11:24:34 PM rjmoriarty83:
ah
11:24:43 PM rjmoriarty83:
Therefore the fellow from "Old York"?
11:24:46 PM maniacalmant1s:
I have...lapses...in conciousness.
11:24:52 PM maniacalmant1s:
Yes....Mant1s.
11:24:58 PM maniacalmant1s:
He's sort of....an alter-ego.
11:25:04 PM rjmoriarty83:
I don't get it. If Mant1s isn't real, why do you log in with that name?
11:25:09 PM maniacalmant1s:
heh
11:25:15 PM maniacalmant1s:
I've had this username for years.
11:25:23 PM maniacalmant1s:

11:25:46 PM rjmoriarty83:
I"m afraid not.
11:25:49 PM maniacalmant1s:

11:25:56 PM rjmoriarty83:
Is that a DJ or something?
11:26:00 PM maniacalmant1s:
he's a particularly good player and a moderator on DDRFreak.com
11:26:13 PM rjmoriarty83:
oh, I see
11:26:15 PM maniacalmant1s:
he uses a zero instead of an o in his name, and I copied it.
11:26:19 PM rjmoriarty83:
haha
11:26:24 PM rjmoriarty83:
I take it you play DDR then?
11:26:27 PM maniacalmant1s:

11:26:35 PM maniacalmant1s:

11:26:45 PM rjmoriarty83:
No. I only started playing about a year ago.
11:26:52 PM maniacalmant1s:

11:26:59 PM rjmoriarty83:

oh...welll
11:27:13 PM maniacalmant1s:
I've been playing for almost two years now.
11:27:24 PM maniacalmant1s:
I was a competitor, that's how seriously I take it.
11:27:39 PM rjmoriarty83:
Huh. Maybe we'll see eachother the year after this, then Wink
11:27:47 PM maniacalmant1s:
always thought it would be gnarly to have a DDR ARG, but I couldn't think of how it would work.
11:27:51 PM maniacalmant1s:
Perhaps.
11:27:52 PM rjmoriarty83:
Me too
11:27:53 PM rjmoriarty83:
!
11:28:05 PM rjmoriarty83:
You know, if you get any ideas for that, you should e-mail me
11:28:08 PM rjmoriarty83:
I'd love to help
11:28:08 PM maniacalmant1s:
yes
11:28:11 PM rjmoriarty83:
Here.. just in case...
11:28:17 PM rjmoriarty83:
moriartyrichardDIESPAMDIEgmail.com
11:28:24 PM maniacalmant1s:
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
11:28:28 PM rjmoriarty83:
Eh?
11:28:36 PM maniacalmant1s:
You're posting this on Unfiction, aren't you?
11:28:45 PM maniacalmant1s:
you don't want a spammer to get ahold of your email.
11:28:52 PM rjmoriarty83:
I'll edit that part before I post it
11:29:00 PM rjmoriarty83:
Thanks, though
11:29:09 PM maniacalmant1s:
whatever, let your friends post away about me and try to pick apart my mind.
11:29:17 PM maniacalmant1s:
it's rather flattering.
11:29:20 PM rjmoriarty83:
If you don't want me to post it, I won't.
11:29:26 PM maniacalmant1s:
Do as you wish.
11:29:36 PM maniacalmant1s:
I'm sure they'll find some gem of info in here somewhere.
11:29:54 PM rjmoriarty83:
I guess it comes with being a PM. Everyone starts second-guessing all your actions.
11:30:02 PM maniacalmant1s:
ahahahah.
11:30:06 PM maniacalmant1s:
That's my job.
11:30:09 PM rjmoriarty83:
I imagine Juneau would be doing that to me if mine hadn't flopped from the start.
11:30:12 PM maniacalmant1s:
heh.
11:30:18 PM maniacalmant1s:
hey, I got a question for you.
11:30:24 PM maniacalmant1s:
I don't know if you know the answer though...
11:30:40 PM maniacalmant1s:
how would I go about getting hired by 42?
11:30:59 PM rjmoriarty83:
I have no idea. I hear people talking about it, but I don't know what it is.
11:31:04 PM maniacalmant1s:
ah
11:31:07 PM rjmoriarty83:
(the life, the universe, and everything, I suppose)
11:31:19 PM maniacalmant1s:
I would love to be hired by an ARG company.
11:31:25 PM rjmoriarty83:
ARG company?
11:31:29 PM maniacalmant1s:
yes.
11:31:31 PM rjmoriarty83:
I didn't know there was such a thing.
11:31:36 PM maniacalmant1s:
42 creates ARG's.
11:31:38 PM rjmoriarty83:
Is there actually money to be made off of that?
11:31:46 PM maniacalmant1s:
it surprised me too.
11:32:00 PM maniacalmant1s:
makes you wonder
11:32:08 PM maniacalmant1s:
everything is becoming commercialized nowadays
11:32:12 PM rjmoriarty83:
yeah
11:32:22 PM rjmoriarty83:
I tend to frown upon ARGs selling video games and cars
11:32:28 PM rjmoriarty83:
But it helps legitimize a fun hobby.
11:32:34 PM maniacalmant1s:
like Art of the Hiest and ILB?
11:32:38 PM rjmoriarty83:
Exactly
11:32:41 PM rjmoriarty83:
You're sharp
11:32:57 PM maniacalmant1s:
I thought that AotH had brilliant player interaction.
11:33:07 PM maniacalmant1s:
and I think that ILB had genius puzzles.
11:33:15 PM rjmoriarty83:
I didn't really follow it. I just saw a site that said "THIS IS A GAME SELLING A CAR"
11:33:24 PM maniacalmant1s:
but...you have to look past the advertisements....you know?
11:33:32 PM rjmoriarty83:
I suppose. ILB was more tactful
11:33:42 PM maniacalmant1s:
eheh
11:33:49 PM rjmoriarty83:
Anyway, about 42...
11:33:54 PM maniacalmant1s:
yes
11:34:00 PM maniacalmant1s:
well, it's just a pipedream
11:34:05 PM rjmoriarty83:
I suggest sending them a "resume", listing your previous projects as a form of portfolio
11:34:11 PM maniacalmant1s:
I need far more experience in the field
11:34:22 PM rjmoriarty83:
It wouldn't hurt to let them know you are interested.
11:34:34 PM maniacalmant1s:
Yes...but...I think they would probably laugh me out of the community.
11:34:39 PM rjmoriarty83:
I had hardly any experience, but that's how I goot my job
11:34:48 PM maniacalmant1s:
what do you do?
11:34:49 PM rjmoriarty83:
Are you sure? ARGers are generally a nice bunch
11:34:56 PM maniacalmant1s:
not when you make money
11:34:57 PM rjmoriarty83:
I'm a webmaster for the State of Alaska
11:35:08 PM maniacalmant1s:
webmaster...for...the state...of alaska....
11:35:08 PM rjmoriarty83:
huh. Maybe you're right.
11:35:12 PM rjmoriarty83:
just one
11:35:27 PM maniacalmant1s:
WEBMASTER FOR THE STATE OF ALASKA
11:35:30 PM rjmoriarty83:
I work for a certain department (Administration). Many departments have many webmasters?
11:35:33 PM rjmoriarty83:
I am not THE webmaster
11:35:38 PM maniacalmant1s:
...
11:35:39 PM maniacalmant1s:
still
11:35:44 PM maniacalmant1s:
that's pretty goddamn cool
11:35:50 PM rjmoriarty83:
It's fun =)
11:36:04 PM maniacalmant1s:
Man...you can run around saying "I RUN THE INTERNET"
11:36:16 PM rjmoriarty83:
haha I wish it were like that
11:36:30 PM rjmoriarty83:
More like "I make small changes for spoiled employees that no one will ever see!"
11:36:35 PM maniacalmant1s:
ha
11:36:43 PM maniacalmant1s:
sounds like what I do at school
11:36:46 PM rjmoriarty83:
But it gives me the skills that the technical aspect of an ARG might require
11:36:51 PM rjmoriarty83:
What do you do at school?
11:36:53 PM maniacalmant1s:
well
11:36:57 PM maniacalmant1s:
I write out papers and such
11:37:04 PM rjmoriarty83:
oh, you mean like homework and such
11:37:10 PM maniacalmant1s:
and teachers tell me to write it differently so that it fits the curriculum
11:37:19 PM rjmoriarty83:
I have to do that to. I'm still in High School.
11:37:22 PM maniacalmant1s:
which severly irritates me
11:37:25 PM rjmoriarty83:
So I think I can identify
11:37:28 PM maniacalmant1s:
nice
11:37:37 PM maniacalmant1s:
webmaster of alaska, and still in high school
11:37:43 PM rjmoriarty83:
not THE webmaster
11:37:46 PM maniacalmant1s:
so?
11:37:53 PM maniacalmant1s:
that's such a cool title
11:38:01 PM maniacalmant1s:
" I AM THE WEBMASTER"
11:38:04 PM rjmoriarty83:
haha I guess so ^^;; I never thought of it like that
11:38:09 PM maniacalmant1s:
think about it
11:38:12 PM maniacalmant1s:
web-master
11:38:14 PM maniacalmant1s:
master of the we
11:38:15 PM rjmoriarty83:
lol
11:38:16 PM maniacalmant1s:
web
11:38:30 PM rjmoriarty83:
I'd rather be master of the puppets in a successful ARG Wink
11:38:34 PM maniacalmant1s:
eheh
11:38:46 PM maniacalmant1s:
Puppetmastering isn't exactly fun sometimes.
11:39:03 PM rjmoriarty83:
I'm sure it's a lot of hard work.
11:39:03 PM maniacalmant1s:
it can get really boring or agravating
11:39:11 PM rjmoriarty83:
Do you often have to deal with obnoxious players?
11:39:19 PM rjmoriarty83:
Like the fellow you trusted>?
11:39:32 PM maniacalmant1s:
I know a few people critiscize me because I end conversations where they think is too early
11:39:47 PM maniacalmant1s:
and so they believe that I end it because they ask me a question I can't answer.
11:39:57 PM maniacalmant1s:
Obnoxious players? only a few
11:39:59 PM rjmoriarty83:
You've been reading the thread.
11:40:04 PM maniacalmant1s:
no
11:40:15 PM maniacalmant1s:
I haven't read it yet
11:40:21 PM maniacalmant1s:
I'll have to do that soon.
11:40:31 PM maniacalmant1s:
I was talking about some rather irritating people from PA1
11:40:37 PM rjmoriarty83:
ah, I see
11:40:42 PM maniacalmant1s:
why? who's saying that about me now?
11:40:49 PM rjmoriarty83:
I don't remember.
11:40:52 PM maniacalmant1s:
ah well
11:40:55 PM rjmoriarty83:
Apparantly it's an overused ARG tactic
11:40:59 PM maniacalmant1s:
eheh
11:41:00 PM rjmoriarty83:
And everyone is sure that this is a game.
11:41:03 PM maniacalmant1s:
well
11:41:06 PM maniacalmant1s:
tell them to bite me
11:41:13 PM maniacalmant1s:
I don't play games like this.
11:41:28 PM maniacalmant1s:
there's not enough curtain
11:41:30 PM rjmoriarty83:
But wouldn't this be perfect? It bends reality and gaming.
11:41:36 PM rjmoriarty83:
Just like you said you would do.
11:41:40 PM rjmoriarty83:
or was that Mant1s?
11:41:43 PM maniacalmant1s:
I don't know
11:41:43 PM rjmoriarty83:
><.;
11:41:50 PM maniacalmant1s:
I have trouble remembering things lately
11:42:00 PM maniacalmant1s:
^_^; I'm sure it will come to me
11:42:09 PM rjmoriarty83:
Do you sometimes have periods where your D.I.D. is worse than usual>?
11:42:14 PM maniacalmant1s:
sometimes
11:42:27 PM maniacalmant1s:
there have been months that I don't remember because I was someone else.
11:42:33 PM maniacalmant1s:
and it's not always Mant1s.
11:42:44 PM maniacalmant1s:
there's a few other versions of "me"
11:42:46 PM rjmoriarty83:
You'd make a perfect ARG character
11:42:49 PM rjmoriarty83:
oh yeah?
11:42:50 PM maniacalmant1s:
eheh
11:42:51 PM maniacalmant1s:
you're right
11:42:52 PM maniacalmant1s:
yes
11:42:54 PM rjmoriarty83:
M4ntis?
11:43:00 PM maniacalmant1s:
ha ha ha, no
11:43:05 PM rjmoriarty83:
sorry, poor joke
11:43:11 PM maniacalmant1s:
there is an insane version of me
11:43:16 PM rjmoriarty83:
I hope I"m not making you uncomfortable with these questions
11:43:21 PM maniacalmant1s:
no, no.
11:43:23 PM maniacalmant1s:
you're fine.
11:43:36 PM rjmoriarty83:
Could it be that you may have a single personality that also shares two other personalities?
11:43:44 PM maniacalmant1s:
eh...what?
11:43:59 PM rjmoriarty83:
A personality that also is schizophrenic.
11:44:03 PM maniacalmant1s:
yes
11:44:05 PM maniacalmant1s:
the insane one
11:44:23 PM maniacalmant1s:
that version is crazy
11:44:35 PM maniacalmant1s:
I have very strange dreams regarding him
11:44:42 PM rjmoriarty83:
You dream about your personalities?
11:44:50 PM maniacalmant1s:
the disturbing part is that most of them are lucid.
11:44:58 PM rjmoriarty83:
Lucid Dreams
11:44:59 PM maniacalmant1s:
I dream about my other "minds"
11:45:04 PM maniacalmant1s:
I'm going to leave now.
11:45:06 PM maniacalmant1s:
thanks a bunch


I like this guy =)

 		Normally I wouldn't make a connection, but Mantis just posted in the PM forum recruiting for people.

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11212

Step carefully with this one, just in case it has nothing to do with it. But I think it does, so I'm posting it here. Very Happy
