Pretty big package that they received, no? I imagine not everyone will be receiving something like that, but I'm surprised some of the larger online comic venues haven't gotten anything yet. I would have expected a place like Comics Alliance to get a trailhead before ARGN.

Aye, that's why I'm surprised to see no other reports of mailed packages yet. It sounds implied that there are more out there, apart from the files that'll be sent/emailed to players. Seems like they'd want to focus on comic communities though, no? *shrug* guess we'll see!

 		Also received Loki's mail.

Not entirely sure how to expect the unexpected, as if I'm expecting it then by definition it is not unexpected. I shall therefor expect the expected.

 		hopefully this won't turn into unexpecting the expected... hate when that happens.

 		Hmmm....
I completed the test, and compelled my friend to do so also...
The responses aren't automated... What could they be looking for?
Why do I have a feeling that the way we answered is going to... affect our gaming experience somehow...?

The article at ARGN said BigHouseComics wants our input to affect the ARG(and maybe the comic), which sounds amazing. Maybe the test results will resurface later on. Or maybe Loki just wanted to find certain people to help him, and used Meg's site to do so.

Then again, this screams of past ARGs... Have we figured out what the "elephant dentist" references?


I think maybe that's just there to make it look more like a real odd jobs search site. I mean, think about it. An elephant dentist? That is quite the odd job. Then again, it could mean something, and I'm just an idiot.

The other two - The references to "I Love Bees" and the Cloudmakers (from "The Beast") - are direct references to very well known ARGs in the past. Since I wasn't active in that era, I'm wondering if some of the old school folk around here have any idea.

 		I also completed the test and was contacted by Loki, so I'm going to try and keep up with this. Not sure how much help I'll be, but I'm here Smile
