If that last comment was in response to me, you completely misunderstood me. I never implied in the least that you were plotting against anyone, or being exclusive...

Well, just to be understood, there's always been an unspoken rule that the forums are always out of game. That anything said in the forums, as far as the game is concerned, stays in the forums. Example:

You could say in the forums:
"Obviously, George is the killer, from this evidence here in this thread..."

And at the same time, your player-character would really have no idea that the information you located here existed, so you could say, in all honesty, to some in-game NPC:
"I have absolutely no idea who the killer is. We have no evidence leaning one way or the other, but we have our suspicions..."


Does that make sense? Also, then, you could have two factions talking on the forums, and in-game, they would just ignore that conversation in regards to their play. It's part of the immersive nature of these games that the forums can be used to further story and puzzles, but mostly, it's a "meta-game" experience, meaning it's not in the game, so don't make it part of the game... that's why the rules of unfiction.com state that you cannot post as more than one person. It makes sure that you are not being "in-game" on the forums. Does that all make sense? Anyway, not dissing any ideas on starting separate channels of communication, because if it makes sense in the game, then go for it, but just remember that unfiction is a resource, and anyone who would use it against someone else, in terms of "player vs. player" is not getting the idea of the place, is all I'm saying.

Dorkmaster, what you said is very true for ARGs

Neurocam is not an ARG.

I will admit to not knowing then, and stay outta this one. But I still feel like there should be shared experiences on this forum, otherwise, what's the point of keeping this thread unlocked in the first place? What purpose does this thread hold if there's no interaction? That's pretty much my point.

If the game or whatever it is, necessitates uncooperative behaviour, then definitely do that. But if not, why abandon the forums? That's my view, and now that I've ranted way too much for one week, I'm outta here.

(Don't worry, no offense taken nor intended, just wanting to not cloud the waters)

Sign me up for the mailing list, it seems like a great way to spread info that should be kept from prying eyes!

Count Me In!

Count me in for the Urban Hunt Alumni Association Operative Group. Because, quite honestly, signing up for this can't be any dumber than my old spec that the link between various haunted hotels was that Teddy Roosevelt was reputed to haunt most of them
