So Rand0m, will that be an edge of your seat 5-Part Chat?

[Rand0m]

I'm on ntl dial-up, which cuts off automatically every so often, so it's more likely to be a whoops-where's-he-gone? chat...

Silently Broken's done a stormer of a job tidying everything up so people can make sense of it all here: http://silentlybroken.wordpress.com/.

I just skimmed it over but a few highlights:

Mind Candy knew Kurt and Violet stole the Cube from the beginning. (haven't thought that through exactly -does that mean Sente knew? or did they mean in a META sense )

Collaborative puzzle solving works well but often good ideas get shouted down and people go off on the wrong track. (personally, I think this is the most interesting comment)

No big prize for the next season.

The ARG will be even bigger and better. But it is difficult to coordinate the cards and the ARG. (Note: Adrian isn't thrilled with the term ARG -not sure why- and he says TINAG isn't everything. )

Cards have a lot of leadtime. No extra points for solving faster or more cards. The distribution of cards will improve based on what was learned from Season 1.

The use of the risk pieces was obscure (heh, like we didn't know that)

What I missed finding at Jones Beach was a box of business cards. I didn't know anything about geocaching then or how things were hidden, but thanks to chippy for all his help on the phone with that attempt.

Just finished reading the chat logs. Wish I could have attended! You guys asked great questions, and MC was super cool!

Weren't there any Americans who could ask: Will you ever bring PXC more to the US?

As Ashin pointed out, it was a little sad that the Cube was impossible for us to reach (although I think it would have been uncool to put it anywhere else, considering the game was primarily British). I wanted so often to attend a live event or something, but Florida's a bit of a drive from NYC or Cali... or London.

What I think MC needs is a nice, warm, sunny US office just moments from Disney World. How's that sound, eh, MC? Eh? I'd be your biggest faaaaannn...

Ah, well.
