You Know If You're an ARG player!!

You Know If You're an ARG Player if:

1. You're constantly checking your email, to see if a in game character contacted you.
2. You use your cell phone as the contact number, and you leave it on all night expecting that 1am threating call.
3. You create your own ARG game just to kill time till a new ARG comes out
4. You get bored and IM in game characters through Yahoo or AIM.
5. You get excited when you get a IM or Email from the game and stop talking to your friends online to converse with the in game character.
6. You still have the Majestic Interface installed and talk with you character or people you met while playing


OK guys lets see what else we can add to this list and how long we can keep it going

you can still chat with the majestic software?!?

7. Your significant other complains that you spend more time talking with the game characters than with them.
8. You rearrange real life plans so they don't conflict with ingame events.
9. You drive 3 hours one way to pick up an ingame artifact.

11. In your letter to your mean old landlady telling her you are moving out, you hide a special secret message just for her that can be found by taking the first letter of every word and putting them together.

...

...

Or maybe that's just me Laughing

After watching Paycheck, Dia & I hung through all of the credits, looking for clues (she was convinced there was an ARG potential with this movie). Then in the lobby we were pouring over a publicity cardboard cutout poster - it mentioned a contest and we were hoping it was ARG related (turned out to just "use your Regal Crown card to see the movie and be entered into a drawing" type contest).

When stumbling drunkenly home from the pub you stop and spend half an hour studying the "Matrix Reloaded" posters on the London Underground 'just in case'.

25. You find yourself standing at the curb at O'god early going through the trash on the morning the Trash Truck comes, to find that piece of bulk mail that you dismissed and tossed because it looked just like the last one you received not to long ago. A day ago someone commented on how different the contents of the envelope was this time, and wouldn't you know it, within a day five other people had received it too. And you find yourself hoping that it arrived after the last trash truck run, as you dig through the coffee grinds, banana peels, bits of scrap paper, and other unitentifiable goo.

26. You get so into your character that you use your made-up name in conversation with real people.
