Sad

I feel like I ruined everything by complaining acouple days ago.

Then again, it was fun while it lasted. In retrospect, it was quite awesome... I guess it takes a lot of work to run an ARG with only a few people.

As a newbie, it makes me skeptical if I ever want to play another ARG again. Like you I found a very cool new hobby but I can't say I'm not dissappointed in all of this. I mean, I wasted alot of time. I studied Video #5 for hours just trying to read a mannequins lips that in the end didn't mean squat.

I'm glad that there are so many people taking this in stride but again, this was my first time. Bad way to get my cherry popped.

This Wyoming Incident, in the right hands, could have been something that would have been synonomous when someone mentions the word/name ARG.

It could be worse. You could've been part of the Dead Kids Foundation:

I called him up an hour or so ago, and informed him that T'was All For Boners. He said he'd already heard. He sounded a little despondent that his soul wasn't actually going to be carried off to the Abyss.


How I laughed when I read this. It was the casual phrasing of "informed him that T'was All For Boners" that did it. Very Happy

It put me off a little. Disappointed me a lot, if nothing else. I thought this was going somewhere! And to have it end, just like that? Fail. I'll probably at least look around some ARGs after this (they seem like fun when executed properly), but I know I'll be wary about them.

Unrelated, but who thinks "T'was all for boners" and "Also, [WAFFLETRUCK/X/ETC] DID NOT PLEASE ME" are going to be the next memes? Or if not that, at least an injoke.

As someone who has never played an ARG before, this introduced me to the whole genre and showed me just how much fun something like this is. Hopefully, all of the other newbies feel the same as I do.
Just think of the fun you had with this thing, and think of the potential that future ARGs will have.
Either way, I am glad that the UF forums were singled out as one of the smarter ones.
YAY US!

I'm effing depressed about this sh%*. I got all into this ARG, or whatever it was supposed to be, checking daily for updates, trying my best to investigate clues and everything... And then it all ends in a train wreck... with SA behind the helm.

What's to say this crap won't happen again? I'm seriously, very pissed off.

If any of you have some recommendations of ARGs that ARE ARGs, PM me or something... and if you wanna keep in contact, also, please do. I'm sure all my contact info is rather public, but if you need it, PM me.

I thought it was funny when I found out it was a prank...

I think it's funnier still that people are getting so pissed off about it.
Jesus Christ... lighten up some.

Thanks a lot to the guys who did this... It was a nice little ride (although the ride could've done to be a bit longer...) Very Happy

Put off? Nah. I stumbled on UF during the whole Eon8 thing (oooo, yeah, I'm a dork, I watched the site til it flipped over with antici....pation) and have occasionally checked back to see what else was happening.

However, with the recent NIN ARG, I've spent a week or so following that one around. The NIN boards are all a big wank fest, and everyone wanted to talk about what TR was involved in, blah blah blah. It began to get boring, after a while.

But reading up on the NIN thing here, and the stumbling on the WY Incident was just really cool. It makes sense, how the story played to the 'clues' that the forum was 'getting'. Pretty creative, but a really shitty way to end it, I think.

But who knows. I'll keep my eyes on things. Perhaps a new on will pop up that will excite me as much as this one did.

Ok, that brought a smile to my face and almost makes up for the shenanigans. Thanks, Wabonan, you may have made my day brighter.

Dues EX is a great game. I must have played that a hundred times trying to get the different endings.
