I don't understand!

Broken kid - I agree, the arg ended this way because this is the ending we made for ourselves.

If I had to guess, I reckon it'll be back after a few days break, with another pigeon at another girl's door. And this time, we'll all be desperate to help in case something terrible happens!

I had a nagging feeling of deja vu, and I realized this morning what it was. Janet Leigh, Marion Crane, Psycho. This must be what it was like for viewers in 1960, who hadn't had that shower scene quoted and parodied endlessly, so having the sympathy character die about 1/3 of the way into the film was a shock. Of course, there was no marioncrane on IRC.

Ooh are you implying we're only 1/3 of the way in?

That's what I'm hoping. Coming up next, Maddison's sister and a private eye she's hired...

I don't really think we'll see another pigeon on some other random girl's door... but Jeromy said that the "plot" and its "holes" will be filled in "in game" over time.

Hmm, that could tie the ZorinXL video with the Maddy mystery girl into the plot quite nicely.

I didn't play the game, I just watched the videos. But maybe if Maddy died, it's because we (the fans) didn't solve the clues and figure out how to save her. Maybe this was the ending we led things to... just a thought.

I, like you, didn't play the game either, merely followed the plot and lurked on the boards. I have to say, however, that if this is the case, than that is effing brilliant on the part of the creator. It is wonderful to have stakes, and the life of a sweet girl many of us grew to know and love is high stakes indeed. It is also a classic theme in fiction.

That said, we (apparantly) failed, and from a story perspective that is not a good ending. Something tells me that sooner or later we will have a chance at redemption, in one form or another.

Bravo to Jeromy and the entire crew.

[claude]

what else do we need to solve if we are?
which thread do we post in to try and fill in the holes?
sorry, I've gotten a bit lost trying to figure out what goes where... can someone help me?

thanks,

ps. I have been wandering around though... has anyone else noticed that boryalic pegged the Rue B drop location (maddyatkins - [discussion] Myspace page, Apr. 15th) and named HTMLvis?

I think we need you, boryalic...

I've been trying to understand this ARG and I just don't. Would anyone who knows it really well be willing to answer a few questions? If so, please PLEASE pm me. I've read through the archives and stuff but I just still don't follow a few things. I'm not sure if that's just me or if they are holes in the plot. PM me if you'll be patient with me and answer my questions.


PS - Consider that I would and have done the same for anyone regarding LG15 or OpAphid or CiW!

[marlasinger]

you can always ask me questions, darlings!

Claude sometimes it's tough. But in terms of filling in holes - we're going to have to let Jeromy decide when that happens and how it happens. We're pretty much at his mercy at this point.

<3 I'll answer anything I can. Just PM me.
