Article in The Times but I counted that as word of mouth when I voted. The lav graffiti is genius though....

EDIT: Oooops - didn't notice the OOG mention option Embarassed

Some bloggish website that had a bunch of links, mostly to point-and-click flash games.

I found out about this as ILB was drawing to a close. I wanted something to play afterward, that I could get in on at the start, and that I'd have a bit of time to recover before playing. Oh, and I wanted a great story too. PPC looked like exactly what I wanted. I read about it on ARGN I believe. Would that count as Word of Mouth or Pre Pre-game?

I did telephone market research for a while (yeah I know...feel free to castigate and hate me) and I was always instructed to say..."it's your impression of the question that counts"

so click the shiniest button...! Wink

[edit] Seej...you've thrown everything out with your wanton clicking on random subjects...i'll have to redo all my careful calculations Cursing

emoticons are useless for conveying emotion really aren't they

the firebox catalogue ad got me, about three months after i originally got the catalogue! was flicking through whilst bored, which progressed to looking up the website whilst bored which progressed to finding the unfiction site on google and suddenly i wasn't bored any more! too curious for my own good lol :)

Me and about 4 other people burned through the first 90 or so pages of deathball.net/notpron. We started looking around for a more interesting puzzle, one of the 6 had played The Beast, and checked unfiction to see if there were any new games going on, and we settled on this one.

I'm from North Carolina, so when I saw a news article about strange post cards found in NC and Bologna, it kind of peaked my interest. I Googled it, and found this site about it. I played ilovebees earlier, so it wasn't unfamiliar.

And the writing on the toliet wall has gone now Razz

Mikey, strange you should use the term 'popping your cubic cherry' - I fondly remember the warm thrill of discovery when I realised the Firebox ad actually led to something. And no wet patch.....

I know only a couple dozen people have voted so far... but I'm wondering if the poll results have the PM's a little worrried or Surprised

So far, no one has said they saw the ads in the newspapers and ended up here. Well ...maybe they just haven't found the boards yet.
