I'm totally not adding to the discussion here, but I must say that I love this thread. I find myself agreeing with everything I read - even the conflicting arguments! I'm betting MC is eating this stuff up. Most companies have to hire expensive consultants for this kind of data (duckie: are you working for MC). I can't wait to see the response from the PXC world. I think they're gonna rock us like never before. I like the JTS angle. It presumes that you already have something good going. This isn't a "why I don't like this game" thread which never make sense because people who don't like something should just leave. That's also why I don't understand why the JTS site allows "day one" votes. It completely misses the point of how Happy Days was great and then it sucked. But anyway, good feedback guys - you are putting my thoughts to words in ways I never would be able to.

enygma - i apologise if, as SpaceBass obviously did, you took what I said to be offensive at all, as it wasn't intended as such. If I had any spare time to give, then I would, but as you say, most of us are busy too ;) I didn't mean it to sound as though I was saying 'you can't have an opinion unless you do it yourself', I was merely trying to remind people that the wiki is as good as we make it, and to encourage everyone to help maintain it, if at all possible. And I appreciate that yes, I did miss your point in trying to correct the part that you admit was mistyped. All happy bunnies now I hope? :)

I have to admit first and foremost that on August 16 (read, 3 days after I was in San Fran) I solved my last card of the next almost 2 months. For a little while there, yes, the game did jump the shark. For me. Call it dissapointment over no leitmarks, no points, no cards, no place to even submit my video for the San Fran event, whatever. Call it confusion and frustration with the immense amounts of time that I had dedicated within 51 days to get into this game enough to know what I was doing in SF. I absolutely love this game, and I love this community, but I am really starting to get tired of the story and tired of people playing for the wrong reason. After all that time (which is a lot here in the endgame)I've found myself back in the game. I just spent five hours dissecting the history of the story, the pre-game, the theft, everything, just hoping to find something I missed. I find that a lot of my dissatisfaction stems from an imposed sense of newbishness. Not to complain or anything, but I'm confident that I've put in as much work and time as anyone. There are plenty of folks that I absolutely and completely respect, not least because I met them. Brian_Enigma, AlienDial, and of course the crazy guy that introduced me to the game, Drinkmonsters. I can easily relate to you weeks of 18 hour days spent solving, dissecting, speculating, and delving into "the world." The thing that bothers me though is a lot of the wild and pointless spec, the time that it takes to slog through post by someone who hasn't even taken the time to examine an issue and determine an intelligent and meaningful response. Or the people who are just here to get solves to cards and clutter the boards with requests for someone else to do work for them. I made it a point not to post or comment on anything unless I had educated myself. I guess this is just me getting a lot of the frustration out of my system. I also feel like there is a certain barrier to entry for people that aren't on here (like me) and who just drop by from time to time to see if they're going in the right direction or to get inspiration when their minds are fried. I'd just like to be able to go one place to see if there's any important news, instead of the slog-fest I normally go through. Thanks guys. I'm going to sleep now.

Hmmm... I'm a long-time lurker and I have to say that I think the game still has to jump, in my opinion. It has slowed down considerably, which may be a result of our getting closer to the end of this run, but I think it still has a way to go...

I'm rather of the opposite opinion, DragonArmy. Being a very methodical and ridiculously obsessive individual, I sometimes cannot see the forest for the trees. "Slogin" through dozens of posts by people trying to get quick solves or talking about things without informing themselves first sometimes forces you to look at something again, or nudges you to think about something in a new way, which in turns sometimes causes you to refocus and come to uncovering new information...

I'm onboard for the long haul and trying to get as many peolle playing as I can. The more people and minds we have looking at this thing, the closer we are to finding the Cube!!
