Wow. flashback!

That's exactly how this game started and why I wanted nothing to do with it at the time.

It was the characters sending me PMs to admonish my bad behavior for asking that they not misuse the unfiction forums that made me really wish we had an "ignore" function for certain games, though.

I'm glad that you all could find something in it to appreciate, though.

It was a rough start - no doubt of that. And honestly it made it difficult to focus on the story, but I can honestly say that I'm glad I did. It was a great experience.

 		The bottom line is that I never aimed to be controversial, didn't try to be "cutting edge," and didn't set out to push any boundaries. My sole intention with I'm Sorry was to tell a good story, introduce some characters that I loved, and create the type of game that I would want to play. That's the long and the short of it.

And...

After I clicked on your signature I thought - since the link oddly went to the forum search page - that you were tracking IP addresses or some other such covert IT operation and so I sent you the PM solely to connect the IP address that clicked on your signature to the in-game character. I'm bummed that a quick, paranoid reaction on my part made you dislike the game. Sorry about that. Very Happy (I would have PM'd you this explanation, but my PM-ability was taken away quite some time ago and I haven't had much luck getting it restored. Go figure!)

Anyways Bricker, so the Eric arc pittered out which would've led somewhere.

That's the thing that I kept coming back to, really. In the back of my head I kept expecting the name "Eric" to pop up somewhere.

 		Hey guys - I apologize for coming into the thread and poking and prodding like I did. It might have been better for me to have PM'd Kelvinator directly and told him how I felt about what he posted - although I don't really regret publicly voicing my dissent over what I felt he was asserting. Wink

I am glad people had a good experience with this game, and I don't doubt for a minute that it was worthwhile for those who played. My quarrel was not at all with that feeling/reality, just so you know.

Anyway, carry on!

Thanks for the clarification Smile. A lot of us really put a lot into this, including Brian. And it's just a knee jerk reaction to respond to something that felt like an attack. I can tell you how hard it was to keep my mouth shut at ARGfest with all of the bashing (my interpretation) that was going on. Thanks again Wink

 		krystyn
It was good that you spoke up, because it gave everyone a chance to discuss what our own opinions are on what we like and don't, and opened up a conversation on how to do a "for profit" while not making that the focus of the game. I know that I tend to stay away from/quit games that become obvious shilling attempts, but I will happily accept things like the Starbucks jonez I got off of I'm Sorry, because it was more subliminal and not the focused assault of marketing that got me to that point.

At the beginning of this, I know at least three posters (including me) assumed there was a tie-in with something. It's become so common a way for movies, books and TV shows to market themselves, that games sometimes seem to be split only into the two categories of 1) promotional and 2) homegrown.

As I said before, not all promotional games are bad. And it goes without saying that not all homegrown games are good, and vis a vis. ANY game that is good enough to keep a group of people interested and provides a good experience for those people is good for ARGs, IMO. If they can also make you crave Starbucks or want to visit an area, without feeling like you've been led into it like a lemming, then YAY for them!

 		Oh Bricker. A couple more questions:

-Who's golden ring was that?

-How'd you get the woman to play "Holly"? Surely you couldn't have told her "Come down to my basement, I'll tie you up, beat you and post pictures on the internet"?

The real question is whether or not your next arg will involve a "meet" with her.

Rawr.

I meant was the ring yours or did you steal it off someone.

Also, your avatar has mysteriously disappeared.

No, I've had the ring for awhile. Family heirloom or something. Uncle Feezel's perhaps?

And yes, my avatar...got PM'd by an admin saying it was too big for the board and to resize it...and since I was linking the pic directly from Comedy Central and they weren't too receptive to resizing it for me, I had to just remove it while I search for another image.
