[arg_discuss] TOW: how long would you like your next ARG take to play?

[David Flor]

My first ARG, Looking Glass Laboratories, was eight days. Of course, I 
spent those eight days portraying a super-sentient artificial 
intelligence that never slept, so needless to say the were a whirlwind 
set of days. I brought it to a conclusion on the eighth day because it 
became unmanageable and I couldn't keep up.

It's hard to keep something going for so long, especially when the 
cumulative power of your audience can solve problems instantly. Heck, 
during my 2nd ARG there were some puzzles that were solved before I even 
finished posting them. And a puzzle that took me five days to set up was 
resolved in less than ten minutes. Keeping that up for a long term is 
not as easy as it sounds.
