[TRAILHEAD] The Real Jay Gatsby

Hmm.... had this intriguing little number dropped in a PM...

Time travel? Dimensional shenanigans? I'm not sure... but... Jay Gatsby has a blog.

http://realjaygatsby.blogspot.com/

and a YouTube channel!

I think this may be a follow along " this is my life" type of thing..like reading a book and being drawn into the atmosphere.
I, however, have the right to revise this theory if/ when the puzzles start popping up.

Oooh, an ARG based on The Great Gatsby? Count me in.

Edit: The video image is of an image used in The Great Gatsby (2013), a movie, so I'm guessing this is a viral

Interesting. Following.


The Inventor's facade of confidence/superiority keeps faltering, a bit unprofessional (and annoying) from an OOG point, it's def not an official viral, they would have a better actor or a better script. (seems like he doesn't have an actual script)

I dunno, his constant switches in tone of voice were a bit annoying, esp at the end. "stuff."

The "inventor" has posted on gatsby's blog..

he thinks that we are trying to make Gatsby's life too easy..

what do you guys think about the direction we should take?

Oh woah, wtf. Nope. Already dealt with this shit during Crux with Xerxes and MDT with Chris. 'm out. No more suicidal stuff for me.

Why do so many PMs think stuff like suicide is a great plot for a game? I mean, really now...

agree

It is in poor taste IMO, to even want to make someone feel that low that they would commit suicide... yes i'm aware its a game... still not right tho....

I disagree: the fact that people can be pushed far enough that they go against a basic instinct, survival, is, to me, fascinating.
