POST BOTH LOGS Please, oh please somebody make a post of the #apocalypso and the #beekeepers log side by side. I'm laughing my head off switching between them and seeing the reactions on #beekeepers

Argh. I can't connect to the chat at all. chat-solutions seems to be totally dead from where I'm sitting (the website isn't working at the moment, either -- just a bunch of error messages because they're overloaded).

Got a response to my question:
<Wiser> Since my original question was already answered, I just have a little quick one. How much space was used up on the gmail and hotmail accounts?
<jane> Well, gmail shut us down one day for excessive use :)
<catherwood> yay!
<jane> Also, funny story about the blog:
<jane> I have a friend who works for Blogger, and we were IMing one night, and she was telling me stories about this one crazy blog
<jane> that no one could understand why it was getting so much attention and traffic--
<jane> and everyone at Blogger was trying to figure out what the hell it was :)
<jane> So, you guys got their attention. ;)

Aint a question to ask the peeps, just curious -
Was The Beast the first big ARG, or were there ones before it? Trying to compare something between the 'start' of ARGs and another thing.

Yeah, that didn't exactly go over to well in #beekeepers
(I finally managed to connect, obviously)

afaik, The Beast was the first big -sucessful- ARG. There have been other attempts at stuff like this, and attempts since (anyone remember playing Majestic? No? There's a reason for that), but nothing that actually worked well on such a massive scale (until ilovebees).
An argument could be made for "The War of the Worlds" being the first true ARG, but it wasn't a game per se.
In short, Sean is quite the visionary.

Before anyone else tries to undertake this, I'll be working on an edited version of the apocalypso log (no timestamps or irc sillyness) that I'll try to get up tomorrow.

Gotcha. Eggsually, I do remember Majestic
/Scumbag would like to remind everyone that he liked Tarrsk's 5ver too - Zeke wouldn't, which was all I said.
EDIT: Mein gott, #beekeepers is going faster than Diablo2 trade channels.

<-- lazy
i was hoping someone else would take that up. somebody requested that the two logs be threaded, but that's a lot more work.

Both Logs Thanks for the pointers to the logs. If nobody else gets around to it, I'll be glad to thread the two together and put the result up somewhere. It was like MST3K on a moderated chat!
