[arg_discuss] Question Regarding ARGs

[Christy Dena]

Hey Mez,

Yes, I'm sorry, I did miss your offer to contribute to ARG definitions! We'd
be happy to have a mez-style rendering of how you see ARGs on ARGology. :)

Best,
Christy

Subject: [arg_discuss] Question Regarding ARGs

Hi Guys,

I've had a query at augmentology.com from Jeremy Turner that reads thusly:

"I thought I would quickly ask any of the Aug-readers if there is an example
of an Alternate Reality game that is not based on emergent narratives
derived from social networking sites (Facebook/Twitter) but actually is one
that has a full top-down structure and is not based on any video game?

The only ARGs I have heard of so far are used as either promotional material
for a pre-existing video game or music album or were not initially
constructed as an ARG such as those emergent narrative tweet-a-thons."

If anyone can provide an answer via comments please do:

Also, I'm not sure if you missed my offer to contribute to ARGology's
definitions?

Chunks,
Mez Breeze
