We know that it is hard to get people to notice your ARG, but there are many more original ways. We are so tired of poorly-put-together freewebs sites and AIM conversations as trailheads. It shows that the Puppet Master doesn't even have enough faith in his product to register a domain name. If you don't believe in it, why should we? Frankly, we have many more ARGs going on at the moment, and the trailhead is how we decide whether to join a game or not. The shoddy nature of this one will prompt most people to avoid this game. By posting the trailhead in this way, you have killed your own game in a few hours. We say this many times, and if you haven't picked it up by now, or read the Puppet-Master guide, you shouldn't be running a game. There's nothing wrong with indie ARGs, but if you don't do them with reasonable consideration for the players, we will take them apart.
Sorry to be so harsh, but we have said this many times before.

................ Rowan? Phaedra? HELP?


I wish I could help, old boy, but I'm turning over a new leaf in which I restrain my urge to verbally eviscerate individuals who do these type of things in favor of a little invultuation. Razz

Because of violation with UnFiction's TOU policy, I am locking this thread until further notice.

If you are the PM of this game, please contact me in private.

[Explanation] Monuru

Ok, I just got an IM from one of the PM's who created the "Monuru" ARG (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12278) which was "discovered" a few weeks ago and subsequently failed to take off. It's a rather controversial explanation as to why the ARG was doomed from the beginning. The short transcript is below:

Quote:
Gene Angelfire: Hey, As you know, Monuru was an ARG
Onionring Sean: Yep
Gene Angelfire: Tell everyone this:
Gene Angelfire: Monuru was SET to release on august 5th, 2006, After we got every puzzle, got our own domain, And Got everything ready for its release.But, There was a fight between me, and one of the pm's.... So, as revenge, he told everyone about it.BEFORE IT WAS READY, Due to this event, We were forced to do everything as we went.This, caused me to stop what i was doing, and try to help. Monuru is Going to be closed, but will still be on the page. So, The real Monuru Corp. ARG WILL be released in 2006, As promised.... That is all
Onionring Sean: Ok... I'll tell the others
Gene Angelfire: Thank you, And i hope to see you when the arg is done.
Onionring Sean: Smile

Onionring Sean = Myself


So that's it then... a bit strange though that the PM contacted me to pass on this news as i've only just recently become part of the ARG community. Anyhoo... it seems that Monuru will be launching next year but hopefully not in the same way as it was this time Smile


EDIT - merged with pre-existing (but locked) topic - SG
