(loving this... but... let's keep it on track oso others don;t miss the chance to contribute... )
I was thinking we may be able to help "seperate the sides" some time if we make some kind of DUAL DROP...
Op wants it... Tachy wants it... It's like a big scanvanger hunt to see who can get there first and who ever gets it (Op or Tach) will actually effect the storyline! _________________ I have no clues to offer you... But I know how to download if you're offering!!! |

Its a lovely idea...but it may foster more animosity between the "sides".
Just my 2 cents.... |

This lifts the "excitement" factor...for sure! However, we'd want to make sure that there were safety measures in place so that people couldn't become "double agents" or anything like that. right?? |

I tend to agree. While fun, in theory, it'd be difficult to do in practice.
I think the issue that Onewen brings up about double agents would actually add to game instead of detract from it. I just see the animosity issues being too great.

It could foster animosity, yes, but if it was done right, it could be fun - I like the idea of it have some effect on the storyline...
So...let's done our aluminium-lined thinking caps and see if we can figure out a way to do it without it working its way into something ugly. If we can't, then it's no great loss...
Cuz, we'll keep looking at other ways we can pass along to the newguy(s) to (potentially) spice things up! <beaming grin> _________________ Diane, or cher, or even chershaytoute, but "Hey, you!" works, too...

*raises her hand*
I'd like to play on IRR's game!!
Seriously though, the coordination of the 2 groups and the fact that some people get WAY too fired up could lead to many, many more flame wars.
Double agents though, that sounds very intriguing... |

chershaytoute, those are all things I agree with, too. Well almost all. It's no secret that I've got issues with the way some of the moderating was done. Not everybody experienced the same things. But, apparently, those people have left. I'm not 100% convinced of that, but that's what they claim.
I just would add that any new moderators to the forum (since it seems we'll need a whole new batch of them now) not be players or participants in the game itself. They should be more like referees or line judges. Follow the game? yes...know what's happening? yes. But don't actively participate in game play. Does that make any sense?
It eliminates the possibility that the mods might play favorites, or that
Also, I like the idea of a team of PMs....where not just one person is doing all the work, and there is a system of checks and balances, if you will.
sc, thanks for finding that image of the 10 Commandments of ARGs. I've been looking for it for 2 days now. I was at unfiction and kept looking and got kinda frustrated that I kept missing it. Now that I know where it was, I'm embarrassed...it's like trying to find your glasses...when they're on your head the whole time.
For those that can't read that image (that font is tough on the eyes)...it really is true and important to a successful ARG:
Quote: |
The Ten Commandments of ARGs
1. Thou shalt View Source on all pages.
2. Thou shalt think around corners.
3. Thou shalt not brute force.
4. Thou shalt become accustomed to sleepless night and unproductive days.
5. Thou shalt learn the rudiment of Cryptology.
6. Thou shalt not feed the Trolls.
7. Thou shalt assist In-Game Characters when required.
8. Thou shalt not seek what lies behind the Curtain.
9. Thou shalt not hoard Solves.
10. Thou shalt assist the uninitiated. |
Perhaps we could use this as a new starting off point? |

I think that the choosing of moderators should be completely left up to BK, the existing mods and the Creators.
I think that its fine to make recommendations and to say that you think someone should be considered, but other then that, we really should have no input. |

OMG!!! That's been my biggest fear! If I ever had the opportunity to go on a retrieval, I had always thought I'd be looking around and wondering who was videotaping ME. Especially after the situation with Luv when she met up with "Brother" ... knowing that the ARG character was present (even though it was unexpected event) I was waiting for the videotape of Luv and her brother wandering around looking for something that didn't exist...a video from Oppy herself, perhaps.
I was kinda disappointed it didn't happen. |

It would add a whole new dimension to the game, to be sure. The existence of double agents would add a level of realism as well. But with the overall anonymous nature of the Internet makes it too easy for people to subvert a game of that nature into something that's no longer fun for anyone but those who get off on causing trouble.
