[arg_discuss] ARG_Discuss Digest, Vol 44, Issue 2

[Michael Andersen]

RE:  "The Dating Game", I remember hearing a number of ARG developers
talking about the success of immersion and community building in campaigns
by referencing players who got married as a result of the game.  More of an
"accidental first date", one might say.

Most recent instance I can recall was Lance Weiler with Beyond the Rave,
where the couple was married by a minister who also played the game.
