 		[ARG]? The Max Franz saga
To remove the actual game discussion, which was considered threadjacking, from the thread started by the PM in violation of unfiction rules I started this one.. I am copying my summary post and some of the emails from that thread to this one. There is more but this is the basic idea.

Quote:
for those who wish to chat about this game we have an IRC channel #borke

please join us



Summary:

Quote:
Max "troubled time indeed" Franz is kidnapped - somewhere in a room under a building in England, possibly Liverpool. Happily, he has internet access and can talk to us. He also has two chairs, a map with pins and a window he can see out of.He was just about completing his secret identity - but he was kidnapped before then and taken to a suburban location.

Max worked with Rod "too clever for this world" gomez

in a government project involving artifacts of terrible magical power when they are combined. The kidnapper is trying to find the artifacts too!

http://www.freewebs.com/rodgomez


And the kidnapper is none other than

Mike "what's wrong with a little destruction" Webbing

Mike worked with both Rod and Max in this sekrit artifact project. Two others who were involved are dead. Mike is torturing Max to get the locations of the artifacts. We must get to them before Mike does.

email from Max
Quote:
I have been snatched my Mike Webbing, he has taken me to some house...possibly surburban. He is forcing me to tell him where they are hidden...but I will not for now...I just hope you can find them before he does. I shall update you all soon...but keep an eye on my site...I may be able to update it when he is out! TTFN Max.



emails from Rod
Quote:
There is a chance Mike knows the locations already...but I do not think thatMax will have given into him that early...Webbing will be trying to extract that informaion from him as we speak! You must help me track down the artifacts!


Quote:
Thanks for the update...I think the first of the artifacts...a
pocketwatch...is hidden somewhere in New York..."You may search high and low, but to an old greek rebel you must look, for giving gifts to humans he did pay, so will Max if you do stray" I got that in an email from an anonymous stranger. I hope it helps you guys to figure out where the pocketwatch is hidden!


Quote:
I think that you are probably correct in thinking that the statue of
Prometheus is the location of the hidden pocketwatch...I shall go straight
to New York after I have done the business in Norway. I will be landing in
Oslo in 1 hour, I intend to get a room for the night, and then hire a car to
drive to the small fishing port town of Bergen. I shall keep you informed, I
will speak with you tomorrow. Goodbye!
RG


Email to Mike- waiting for a response

Quote:
Hey, I may have a job for you. But it needs to be worked in the upmost secrecy!! I have asked around a few other people who could do this 'job' for me. I need the information of where you live and how much it will cost for a simple 'job' May seem a strange request but the secrecy must be vital and for your chance of the job I need you to answer the questions for me. You seem to be advertising well, what with using feeewebs, so I'm hoping I can put my trust in you here.

Please reply soon

Thanks

 		Ok, seriously dude. You're not as anonymous as you think.

Locking the thread before Rod Rod Roddo gets entirely too creative for this world, too.

Locky!

 		*shock* I would have pegged you as a seasoned veteran of making ARGs.

Oh well... another day, another ridiculous launch for a game with no real planning or substance... or editing... or story/plotline... or interesting elements... or professionalism.

Oh, and telling members to 'get a life' isn't proper form here.
