On the risk of going off topic, the execution (for me) really started to lag after THF got shut down. I thought (again, IMO) that the glyph hunt was WAY too long and by the time we were in the 50's range I was just collecting the pieces, not even bothering to put them together. Not to mention what seemed to me to be a huge plot hole of "I'm being hunted by Hanso, going underground, and releasing these glyphs in smalllll pieces 'cause I dont want anyone else to die because of me like Darla/Hugh/DeZylvaorwhateverhisname is. So please, post your pictures so everyone knows what you look like!" *snort* (I still did it though.madsweeney wrote:I can understand why people would be disappointed in the ending (a lot of us already suspected that Blake was Hanso's daughter), but the execution? I was really into the glyph hunt, or the piecing together of the videos to be more specific.Mirage wrote:TLE just recently finished up and I'm pretty bitter about the execution and ending.
Anyway, my point was that at its slowest, TLE had updates every 3-4 days, and fairly often we had 2-3 new things per day. I don't think The Creators of this ARG/online serial have the same kind of resources, but it might help to give us a bone to gnaw on in between major plot points/clues.
)And sometimes we would wait for days for clues. Yes sometimes the updates could come at a rather dizzying speed. But you hit the nail on the head--The Creators of this ARG/online serial have the same kind of resources. If indeed this is a grass roots ARG (not even saying if it's related to LG15 or not), this person has...a life. I mean that in the least snarkiest way possible. They have a job and bills to pay. To assume that their job at this point is to cater to us and our needs of something to keep us occupied seems a bit..wrong. In TLE (I'm sure) they had groups of people to write and contribute who most likely were getting payed for their efforts (with lymon!
). In CiW we might have a couple of people or even one singular person doing this in their spare time. No it's not really fair to compare the two, but it is interesting to see how the operation of a large scale game can (in someone's opinion of course) rock or suck compared to a smaller run game.Disclaimer--I'm sick and on a lot of NyQuil right now. Any jumping from one point to another and then back again should be blamed on the medicine.
It would answer quite a few questions, except for maybe the Cassie questions..
