@coryphella *begins a slow clap*

@coryphella I want to say his name was Trevor? @sabaki or something close to that was his username I think.

@coryphella lmao oh jeez

@coryphella @ziegenbart I also believe there was another semi active person in the Chicagoland area. Great to have another person in here from the Midwest.

Okay, so then we’re looking a total of three email variants, right? (Aside from personalized touches that open them.)

1. Congratulations / potential candidate (with 5 questions)

2. Not chosen but not eliminated (with 6 questions)

3. Winners and losers / You are the latter (no questions)

Any others out there?

And @coryphella, the last graf of…[Read more]

@coryphella omg this guy is such a tool

So far I only know of you, myself, and @coryphella. I know in the past it’s been of more benefit to keep discussion on the forums, but I’d be down for a meet up or an escape room for sure!

@coryphella I know that feel about the jumping at calls. I don’t think they have my number, but I definitely hold my breath every time I check my e-mail!

@thegilded You make a nice point about buying into the greater illusion of whatever we choose to participate in when it comes to ARG or immersive events. What we would do in “real life” is different than what we choose to do in such invented environments. Yes, I believe we all played a role in The Tension Experience that was based on ourselves.…[Read more]

@coryphella excellent and well thought out point, but I’d argue that the idea of “playing a role” was present even in the early days of ARGs (I don’t have the authority to speak on immersive theater so I’ll leave that to the experts *coughcoughSummoning @mike or @russell cough* ).

As far back as ILoveBees in 2004, people asked to (at least…[Read more]

@coryphella, I will agree fully that by being/playing yourself, you get the most out of an experience. Most of the immersive theater events that make you be yourself focus on self reflection, empowerment, and growth. And those are the experiences I have come out of feeling rewarded or that I can make a difference. They are incredible journeys that…[Read more]

@coryphella you have me really excited for the possibility of these boards becoming just a personal ads space.

@coryphella – PLEASE make an immersive show based on this

Obviously I’m a cranky 40 year old college professor with a stick up my ass whose main friends are all cats, so, what do I know.

There is so much awesomeness in this @coryphella. No words. Forget Noah Sinclair… We have @mike.

@coryphella I went back to my notes, and this quote from Darren seemed most applicable given what we know now:

“Maybe in the same way that American Horror Story does, in that every season is a new season, but there’s small threads that carry over and characters carry over to an extent, even though they play new roles,” he says. “To the perce…

@coryphella HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE BEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN EVER.

@coryphella Here’s the link to the image itself if you want something a little more real. Looks like it’s pointing to 3:50? Date says March…. 7? I can’t read the date.

@coryphella – @kipsie laid out the timeline pretty well there, but just to clarify

< 5:48p – Source exists, no one is sure if a message is hidden or not
5:49p – @kipsie goes through and publicly states that nothing’s there
5:59p – @thecontroller responds that there might be something important and to look again
6:06p – @kipesie finds the hidden…[Read more]

@coryphella way earlier than that. I made this post at Feb 14 12:02a

Although even that was a couple hours after @kipsie found the first source change at Feb 13 6:06p

@coryphella – We have the OSDM as a possible frame for this, perhaps we’ll see something like Tension? Where we we’re going to have something similar to the OOA as the primary focus during the first half to get us immersed in the world and then have the OSDM come in at the tail end to fuck it all up?
