Is Triskabiblios an ARG? If so, I am tired of the "puppetmaster" constantly abusing this board by repeatedly posting to this game forum, including posting as if he were just another player following along.

This puppetmaster does, however, appear to be inspired by ARGs yet unhappy with some of the conventions that have come to be accepted in the genre. So he bills his as an "Actual Reality Game" instead, which, as far as I can tell, means "an ARG where I can ignore rules like 'no posting to uF by puppetmasters.'"

Then again, according to his blog maybe it's just a budding cult:

Quote:

Show me an existing ARG on the 'market' that aims, however ambitiously, to offer such a potential positive benefit to Humanity? I am not being egotistical, I will release details of the proposed structure of the Triskabiblios Trust - in which funds are split into 3rds, one being dedicated to charity, one being used to finance the player's personal improvement projects, and the final third being used to continue the game, soon.

I have no clue what "benefit to Humanity" this game offers. Rather, it seems to be more about the puppetmaster asking players to perform questionable tasks, playing schoolyard games with any players who voice displeasure in how his effort is progressing, and generally acting like King Turd of Pootown.

Anyway, I'm tired of it, the mods and admins are tired of it, and I'm fairly certain more than one player is tired of it.

I haven't locked out a game forum since RedKore; perhaps Mr. Vibration13 will also consider this an honor.

My apologies to any players this may inconvenience. I understand that there is a new forum over at IU where you may continue your discussions, if you so desire.
