Get interested PMs to pm you their email address?

Is there any reason not to post them on this thread or another meta thread that could be marked as containing the "secret ingredients" (so those who wanted to avoid them could)? It's not as though there is much harm in players seeing the elements, since they will have seen at least four of them by the time the first ARGlet plays out. It would also mean that you would only need to post/link them once, and PMs could jump in at any time without you needing to deal with each PM individually.

I'm pretty excited, too. This is exactly the kind of thing I need to get my a$$ in gear.

Advance props to you fishjp, for taking the initiative.

I might even dig Alpha Agency out of its abyss for this. It's a pretty flexible format, and I've been getting the PMing bug recently.

As for posting the files - as long as it's small enough, this forum will accept a zip file as an attachment, so videos can be processed through that.

[Fishjp]

ZIP Files! Now why didn't I think of that? Thanks Lex.

Just an update on where I am with my part of this: I have scripted the first video and walked through the location with my cast (My daughter) If it turns out like I hope it should be a fairly creepy video that could be used in any number of possible story lines. I have written one of the 2 character descriptions and have started work on the letter. The photos are turning out to be harder than I thought, trying to pick shots that are interesting yet open to a wide interpretation is tricky.

Count me in. I like homebrew mini-args and have been needing a good excuse to get more active again. Great idea, Fish. I like the parallel universes idea a lot, too, BTW.

[Fishjp]

OK Here is everything. I hope they can be opened...

Rules:
1) Please use at least 3 of the 6 items.
2) Please post your launch date and planned run time in this thread.
3) Do NOT launch your game within 5 days of another pms launch date.
4) Have Fun.

I am the owner of all photographic and video material shown in this post. I hearby give permission to anyone who wants to use it in the creation of an ARG.

Character 1:

Brent Hayward. CEO and Chairman of Hayward Inc. A company that specializes in (fill in the blank) He disappeared under mysterious circumstances in 2003, only to reappear just days before a scheduled vote to have him declared legally dead and name a permant successor.

Character 2:

Samantha Bruce: A Bartender and student who makes extra money by posing as "Madam Mysteriou" at local fairs and carnivals reading palms and telling fortunes.

Interesting.... Expect me to play all of these.... Or make my own

[AlfredFJones]

I'd like to use character 2, The Door vid, and the fish tank pic in an ARG I've been planning. I'd be starting it on June 1st (still making stuff and I've got a convention in there), and the running time is undetermined at the moment.

So yeah......

[diszaster]

Huh... so... like an idiot, I packed up all my "supplies" into boxes for moving. I'm looking at mid-June now. :/

[Jesoteric]

Ooh, this looks like it could be good practice, and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. I'll post when I know more about date, but I definitely think I'll be participating at some point.
