I missed the end!!

I have been obscenely busy for the past two weeks and got a bit behind on Geist, noticed the email from Prof Wilson and when I finally got back to checking the forum the whole thing was finished. Gutted.

Oh well.

It's been awesome fun, this has been my first full ARG (I started following the Lost Experience but got a bit bored of it) and its been totally ace, the story really sucked me in and the interactions have been brilliant (that phone call from SRI had me truly gobsmacked!)

Cheers for a brilliant couple of months guys!

I hope to work with you all again soon. It was a great game and I am sorry that it is all over. *I am also quite bitter over being forgotten in the credits, but thats the kind of thing to expect I suppose*

Lets hope we'll see more product by licorice films in the future - they did a awsome job.

Well I'll stick my two pence worth in.

I personally really enjoyed the game and had hardly any criticism - I think because this was my first ARG and had no idea what to expect. It was fun to just sorta roll with it and be taken for the ride. Hopefully I'll be able to participate more next time, now I have a better idea of the format of an ARG.

May I also take the time to say thanks to all the veteran gamers on the boards who helped a noob have a fantastic experience.

Well, I've finally stopped sulking enough to make a post... I wonder if anyone is still reading?

What a wild ride Very Happy

My first ARG, and what an experience... How can I ever play another one now? I'm ruined Wink

It just worked on so many levels, all these little meta-harmonies resonating with each other throughout. I know people have been critical of what they see as a rushed ending but I really think the whole thing was a fantastically well-crafted piece of storytelling. Exciting, innovative, authentic and engaging. (Plus - woohoo - I scored a solve and - woohoo again - I even made the credits reel heehee)

I'm afraid I completely forgot about the criticism component of feedback on the questions.html and just gushed awestruck admiration... no more than they deserve in my view Razz

Yes... These ARGs, as I've quickly discovered in my time here, are extremely community-based. I've met so many people, albeit online, in just two months that I wouldn't have otherwise met... And I feel like I know them better than I know some people in my real life. Smile

when they said to watch your mailboxes, i assumed they meant snail mail... only because they did ask for our adresses. but it could mean either.

Shortly after the above post, I've had a postcard stuck through my letterbox. It's a picture of Bristol, namely the big sphere and the fountains. It reads:

Got me a postcard this morning also: Bristol, the Floating Harbour -

"Dear Legioninfinity, Thankyou so much for all your help and dedication. We're... somewhere over the rainbow. Hope you achieve your dream. Eva & Keir" Awwww they're so sweet. I hope they're using protection.

No clues here either although one edge of the card looks as though it has been chewed briefly by a small animal with no teeth.

Ya I failed to make the distinction between inbox and mailbox heh I guess I can stop refreshing now then...

Hehe just as I had resigned myself to only bills and flyers in my postbox I got the postcard to. Thanks again to all the production team for making this a great experience and definitely one to remenisce over!

I got a postcard from "Beautiful Somerset" (it features all manner of landmarks, including Glastonbury Tor one of my favourite places in the world), and states:

I got one, too! How nice! It said the same as legioninfinity's.

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And so nice that it was hand-written, even though their hands must be completely cramped by now.

Thank you thank you thank you!

And thanks to all of the other players, too. You all rock.
