This looks suspiciously like an ARG I'm about to start.
I'm just saying Smile

(In case it wasn't clear, It is in fact, an ARG I'm going to PM)

 		No offense but last I checked it was against the rules to post about your own game.

 		NOTE: IANAM ("I Am Not A Moderator")...

The rules are someone flexible when it comes to posting one's own trailhead... Interaction with the players is a no-no, but if you come and post your trailhead, then disappear, it's tolerable (some might consider that "bad form", but YMMV).

Usually, when it's done you simply point people to a site rather than say "this is an ARG" or "this is my game". The act of posting the trailhead should be enough for someone around here to determine if it's a game or not.

 		Rather bad form. Someone didn't read the sticky thread on the top of the forum. Sad

 		I read the sticky, and thought that as long as I don't continue to help the players, that I'm fine?
If not I'll delete the thread.

 		Copy and paste of the sticky post in question. Italics added by me:

Quote:
First, let me congratulate you on your initiative. I totally love this stuff and am glad to see more and more people becoming interested in it all the time, especially those dedicated and/or insane enough to want to take a stab at Puppetmastery for their fellows' entertainment.

Okay, now let's get a couple of things straight. Even though I love what you're doing, there are a few rules on this board that you really must keep in mind.

First, don't register a second account just to post your trailhead or rabbithole. Duplicate accounts are a no-no and really not worth it anyway, as you'll see when you read my next point.

Next point, once you've posted your initial clue, stop posting about it. I look the other way for trailhead posts, even though they're about as clichéd as a launch can get (along with spamming your trailhead to random members of the community), but I won't look the other way if you keep coming back. That's just bad form and in a way a little insulting to your players. This includes posting under your regular account as if you're playing your own game when you're really just prodding people along. It also includes posting under anonymous unregistered nicks or creating new registered nicks to masquerade as players or in-game characters.

That's pretty much it for the rules actually. But let me encourage you to try to find some other way to launch your game. If you really can't think of any way besides dropping a blatant link or clue on the forums, feel free to contact one of the forum admins (currently: SpaceBass, vpisteve, jamesi, imbri, Gupfee, ScarpeGrosse, Giskard, and xnbomb) by email or PM, give us your trailhead info, and have us post it for you. We'll be completely discreet and post it as an anonymous tip for you, then use the Force to erase our memories of the entire event. Unless, of course, you post to that thread we started for you.

NEW BEST OPTION: Submit your game tip to Despoiler. Be patient after submission as players will generally pick it up and begin discussion themselves, if interested.

Good luck with your efforts!


/ETA: I am inclined to let this stay as is. Lesson learned and all that jazz... Let's move on with the cloo...

 		Here is my response (which is still in moderation):

She is cure? Do you know if she had cancer, maybe you can try to run your fingers through her hair and see if patches are missing and/or fall out.

Best of luck with the mystery regarding her illness.

That would be if she were undergoing treatment for cancer, chemotherapy.
