[arg_discuss] TOW: almost 8 years after the Beast, which is your favourite ARG and why?

[Brooke Thompson]

No real answer, but a slight issue with the phrasing of the question.  
It continues to perpetuate the idea that the Beast was the first ARG  
and, I know, I'm not the only one on the list that disagrees with that  
assumption - especially as we continue to broaden the definition of  
ARGs. Heck, for some "Hands Across America" would be classified as an  
ARG if it were to happen today and I'm certain that someone would  
brand that fun Earth Day thing that the schools around me did in the  
70s as an ARG - we had puzzles! and challenges! and there were  
stories! and collaborative play! it happened in the classrooms and in  
our homes and outside!

There are so many other milestones we could use other than "almost 8  
years after the Beast..." - what about "with the 10th anniversary of  
Blair Witch upon us..." or "15 years after Publius Enigma...".
