Isn't the issue really the level of immersion we select? I can't remember the exact options we were offered in CTW, but when I signed up for Acheron there were many options for level of immersion. I select just about all of them (phone, mail, packages) except for face-to-face contact. There was even an option where it appeared that you could receive packages or even face-to-face contact that you would not know about ahead of time.
Knowing the identity of the main PM and how he/she can be reached is enough security for me to hand over my email, phone number, and even address.
Regarding the marking - I did get a stone and was not marked. It could have been because the stone was sent to me at the last minute, or it could be that I live in a condo and it would be difficult for someone to tell exactly which unit was mine - and I know the association wouldn't be happy with a "tag" on the front stoop or one of the garages.

Different?
How much different is it than receiving odd packages in the mail that you did not ask for with an address you do not know. In this day and age of rampant paranoia I know I would not sneak around Anyone’s house that I knew or did not know.
If it is the work of the PM they sure must have a lot of frequent flyer miles or a personal jet to get around the way they have.
From what has been seen in this game the level of professionalism has far exceed anything to date, I would not worry to much about them, as I do not see them throwing it all away on a simple mistake.

I think he was saying that his neighbor, who probably doesn't know anything about ARGs, might have a problem with a stranger sneaking around the complex at night.
The more I think about it, the more I'm sure that the PMs have... arrangements in order to keep homeowners, guard dogs, and police from nabbing them in the middle of the night.
The main reason I posted the question is that my husband had a minor freakout when I told him about the mailbox and yard graffiti, so I wanted to ease his mind. I think he was imagining himself as Nick van Orton and was not amused.

I know that if anyone (PM or not) came sneaking around my place at night, i live in an apartment and the guy next to me will shoot anything that makes a funny noise. He is nuts. That makes me concerned about the safety of PMs. Also, try explaining to a patrol car, that just happens to see you spraypainting some strange rune in the grass, just what an ARG is. I dont think that would go over well.
Seriously, there has to be a line drawn somewhere with these things. I just hope that people are smart enough to get a PO Box and NOT give out their home address. PMs could turn out to be casing our homes, and we practically gave them permission.
remember....trust no one. (sorry, I couldnt resist ) |
The PM's are really smart. They put in a year of work into these games so that they can come and steal your tv.
OH ITS NOT A GRAFFITI RING AT ALL IT IS A THEFT RING!
They mark their victims house that they are going to steal from and then when you are not at home.... boy they are wasting their time if they come to steal from me. They wouldnt even recoup their traveling expenses.
What DRAMA!

I've been following CTW and it looks like people have been finding the mark of the bad guys around their yard, mailbox, etc. I'm not sure if this is done by the PMs personally, or whether the players had granted permission for someone to come on their property. If I were a PM, I'd be concerned for my own safety if I were sneaking around someone's yard at night.
Does anyone know the back story on this? If it's something you'd rather not discuss until after the game ends, just say so. |
Or maybe the PM's told the players what to do? And I haven't been marked, so I'm just specing along with you.
