 		I'm in, as Jimmy "the Geek" Lorenzo.

Here's my convo with Jundak so far (he's in boldface):


Quote:
Jundak -

The hell you up to, man? You in some kind of trouble?

I'll give you a hand if I can. Aside from that, well, I can't do much.

Bah damn technology, why couldn't I just use papyrus Master? It would
take forever for the message? Damn never thought about that. I am in
no trouble at all, the Master is looking for recruits and is willing
to accept many different people, for many different tasks.

I hear that, Jundak. sometimes all the gear here at the relay seems more trouble'n it's worth. Just the other day, the SX-110 shortwave receiver blew a tube in the amplification circuit.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a vacuum tube these days *without* paying an arm and a leg?

Ah well, at least the SX-110's a lot easier to use than some of the newer receivers . . . the controls are rock steady, none of this fiddly digital shit. More expensive to maintain, sure, but at least it's not quite as failure-prone as some of the newer stuff - and you *don't* have to send it back to the bleedin' factory to fix it, neither.

(P.S. - Case you hadn't guessed, my specialty's communications.)

 		Crispy fried minion!! Mm mm mm mm mm. Toasty! Laughing

After we come up with the "perfect" way to spread the word, he's expecting us to send "the photos" back to him. Reminds me of OOTG's Child wanting us to send photos of us handing out/putting up her flyers >_< (which is where I had to quit, since I'd told her I was an Aryan boy)...

I seem to have gotten over my head with this, so I am sorry to say
that Jundak will be no more. I do however plan to release another ARG
in the near future, with better planning and easier ways to contact
the PM. Send any hate/love (doubtful) mail to
kanes_followerSPLATyahoo.com. The big payoff was for this to either end
one of two ways, with my friends stop motion video, or with a flash
game that we have both been working on, they might be the payoff for
the future ARG; however.

 		Thank you, to the PM, for at least admitting the game cannot continue and not leaving your players hanging.

However, I would hope that this PM waits, plans, gathers a team, plans some more, before releasing another ARG "in the near future".

Many players have great intentions and think they can do this (run a game themselves). I would strongly recommend reading the Puppetmaster forum here in uF a few times before embarking on this endeavor. Being a PM is not easy. It is time consuming. And typos/misdirections/missed cues/messed up websites, etc can effectively disable any ARG.

This is not a sprint or popularity contest (being a PM). The genre is going to be around for awhile. Quality is always much more appreciated. Implosions leave bad tastes in everyone's mouth.

Peace. Cool

 		Well said, konamouse! I very much appreciate the note from the PM. Not all games can work out Wink I'll have my eyes out for you next one though!

 		So...I thought this was dead but...I just got an e-mail from Jundak saying this:

Quote:
Hello, it is I Jundak, how has life been trea...


I e-mailed him back and now I am waiting. I don't know what's happening. Maybe he is trying to restart now that he has more time instead of starting a whole new one? We'll see I guess.

 		Found in source:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec arcu orci, posuere porttitor, viverra ac, consectetuer sed, neque. Nunc enim. Mauris molestie sapien sed metus. Quisque mauris ligula, molestie at, luctus in, euismod a, tellus. Nulla eleifend. Mauris rutrum. Vestibulum sollicitudin mollis purus. Morbi eleifend pharetra est. Etiam ut justo. Phasellus vestibulum, est non cursus pretium, augue justo lacinia nunc, pharetra.

sagittis nibh felis eget mi. Nunc at massa at mi laoreet volutpat. Pellentesque quis dolor. Vestibulum ut diam class est rutrum ullamcorper. Aenean eleifend tincclassunt augue. (This last part is repeated 3 times.)

Anyone translate this?

 		Yup, it's Lorem Ipsum. Take a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum

 		So it's meaningless, correct?

 		Welp, it's been a while since I jumped in on anything but this looks interesting enough.

Lorem Ipsum is basically place holder text for keeping layout and formatting in tact while still developing something (like a manuscript or a web site or program). So yes, it's more of less meaningless and that is standard Lorem Ipsum. It was probably meant to be taken out or they are not done with the site yet.

Has anyone received a response yet?
