 [IDEA]Spin offs for args....

I had an idea today in physics class. It relates to the recent lg15 and cassieiswatching developments. I had seen that from lg15 there was spawned a, currently fan based, arg not connected to lg15's creators. From that there has been another seemingly unconnected arg to cassieiswatching where some guy goes missing looking for cassie. Some have seen this as game jacking.

My idea came to me when I considered maybe the lg15 series was made to incubate spin offs to feed its storyline. Although the current sittuation offers very little control for the creators to handle what spin offs are produced, with a little more thought on control, it could actually produce a pretty engaging story. Even though you'd have to deal with the human element of other people controling a part of your story you could in theory adapt your story to either make an inclusion for them or cut them out completely from the main storyline.

The concept I've outlined above is very rough, and probably will draw much critisism, but maybe someone could take the idea and spit polish it if they feel like it. It's (k) kopyleft in my opinion.

What would be just as interesting would be for pms to collaborate on a story, but start a few games independently. Then suddenly, mid-way through a plot, players would find themselves having to collaborate with players and characters from something previously thought to be entirely separate.

Separately come together?

Actually, that sounds kinda interesting.

That's a really intriguing idea. I would love to have something like this happen to me. Be participating in one ARG, then all of a sudden, I'm part of another, and then maybe a third. It would bring a new spin onto things, for sure.

The second game to pull that stunt would be Synagoga which was a subsewt of Wildfire industries. It threw all players for a loop when the games merged.

There was one previously and I forgot who did it.

there will be more.

Well I was thinking more along the lines of how fans could create there own fanfic type args, which could later be included into the main storyline if decided by the pms. The only comparable example I can give is it's sorta like how wikipedia leaves everything open yet still maintains control. Although you guys do have a good handle on what I said.

Welp, you would need all the pms cooperating for pulling their games together. Tis a thought though for a fun merge like that, can very much go anywheres...

It turns out that the opaphid and tachyon story branches for the lonelygirl thing, was exactly what I stated above.
