We've done such a great job of answering the "what is an ARG" question that
we're totally qualified to add "what is an ARE" and "how is an ARE different
than ARG" to the pile.

My personal opinion, we lack an umbrella term. Makes it hard for me parse
out meaning in statements like:

I think that starts to overextend the ARE label as I understand it. There
was the "hope by the fans" of an E at the end of the AR (which in this case
was just F.)

But I can imagine some umbrella that would contain it.

Added the ones I was involved with or are directly familiar with
(White Island, for example), as well as went through and edited some
that I was very familiar with as a player.

I don't know, and it's probably a matter of semantics, whether you
want to distinguish "ARG" from "ARE". The Lost Experience was
self-labeled as an "ARE", and one could argue "games" like Cloverfield
were AREs as well.

And do you want to list ARGs that have been announced but not launched
yet, such as our own "Rachel's Walk"?

Tnx & Rgds...
