[arg_discuss] Topic of the Week Aug. 17: Ghost Players

[O'Donnell, Dean M]

As used at ARGFest, it was a term denoting "players" who were actually controlled by the PMs.

So if the real players got stuck on a puzzle, the Ghost Player could send a hint as if he just had a brainstorm.

I'm assuming Ghost Player are those uncommitted followers of a games
narrative who rarely make their presence known.

A ludic term for lurking?
