Yes actually. I voted for New York...








Just kidding

[Phaedra]

Just visited the poll, and it looks like they might be planning to move it around -- have it in NY in June, Chicago next fall, etc.

So, we might still win out, despite the fact that we're trailing New York by 3 votes.

What exactly is a ARG-o-fest?

Just a get together for geeks like myself? or is it something more?



I'd be perfectly happy with the first.

An ARGfest is an opportunity for public mayhem, puzzle-solving, camaraderie, and, in your case, some good old fashioned Halo smack talkin'. In other words, it's whatever y'all want it to be. It's an opportunity for Unfictioneers to put names to faces outside of the context of a particular game (unlike a formal training exercise or a PM meet-and-greet, attendees at ARGfests often come from all different factions of the ARG world.)

Often there is some form of on-site puzzle created by the gathering's local sponsors. Many people take incriminating pictures. Others dance the rhumba in lederhosen while wearing Richard Nixon masks. If this sounds like it mght be too dangerous for you, RUN AWAY!!!! Otherwise, c'mon along! It's good solid wholesome Fun For The Whole Family!!

In that case, I think we already had an ARGofest in Chicago.

1. There were people who play ARGs.
2. There was public mayhem at Chipotle.
3. There was camaraderie with Chuck Blevens.
4. There was some great Halo smack-talking courtesy of Kali.
5. There was puzzle-solving.

I rest my case.

So, whatever happened to Hyacinthe?

Did we scare her away at the Chicago event?

[krystyn]

I was just thinking about her yesterday!

Girl, where are you??

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

[Phaedra]

So, I think we need to update the contact list again, since I was going to send everyone a Happy Thanksgiving message, but I'm a wee bit confused.

One of the things we didn't include on the contact list was what everyone wants to be called.

Some people have signed their emails with their (I assume) real names, others have used their forum names, etc. It's probably time for a gamertag update as well.
