The Beginning (and End) of the End!

REVIEW: Well, it certainly has been an eventful few months, hasn't it? I learned so much! Actually, not that true at all. Being a rich brat who likes to read a lot, I can't say that I learned anything new or even put together new thoughts. But now the question is, how, oh how, shall I go about sharing my kernels of wisdom with the younger generations? I think a series of helpful slogans might help! Here are my ideas: Modesto (or the city of your choice) is screwed! Money is Good! But it don't matter cause no one does what they should...

Hey, I think it's catchy (and also accurately sums up my "findings").

ACT: What should the /Building Imagination Alliance tackle next? Ughhhh, I honestly have no idea. It seems like everything was already approached in the last ARG. Just changing location or context won't change the "solutions" too much. I don't know what the /BIA can do next. Maybe something incredibly controversial like religion, abortion, gay marriage... Who knows. Personally, I lack any passion for anything to think it warrants a whole ARG season.

Who would I encourage to play Season 2? Honestly? Promise you won't hate me for this? Promise? Pinky Promise? Cross your heart and hope t- ok, ok, I'll stop now. I wouldn't recommend the ARG to anyone in good conscience, season 2 or otherwise, because I wouldn't have recommended it to my past self if I had it all to do over again. I just don't particularly see it as helpful to anyone... I'm so sorry!

Oh man, how would I change the game for Season 2? Take it out of the stupid city! UGH!! I don't live in Modesto and don't give a crap about Modesto! If people are goign to be forced to participate, make it easier on their poor souls and let the missions be a little open ended so people can apply them to the places they live. All cities are connected. You need to attack the problem on all fronts, attacking it at the roots instead of chipping away at the limbs. Personally, I think if the ARG is to survive at all,it has to undergo surgery: Give the player more freedom. Let them make a blog or not. Let them make pictures of videos if they want or not. Basically, let the players dictate where the ARG goes. 

Hmm... What new tools would I want as a Super Hero...honestly, I failed to see why a super hero was needed in the first place. Human beings shouldn't use super heroes in an attempt to experience a solution to a social problem vicariously through people like me. Forget new tools, leave us poor Super Heroes out of it entirely. As if our lives aren't already busy from morning until night, but now we have to keep up a blog too? Oh god, please! Have a little mercy!

Basically, what I'm getting at is unless forced to, I'm not coming back here, no way in He... er, you get where I'm going with this, I'm sure...

IMAGINE: 

That's right y'all! My idea for Season 2's victim's is simple: The Players! Who are the players? What color are their souls? How could people change on a person level in order to be more helpful to helping their fellow human beings? Changes cannot be superficial. Human compassion is on life support. A nose job is not what the doctor ordered. What I'm talking about is Open Heart Surgery: the player has to open their hearts in order to grow as a real human being.

 

FINAL ANIMATION! That's all folks! Good night and good luck!
