Posts on Immersion Unlimited Can people please take care when posting to IU. Please remember that IU is IN game. Just as when you're talking to a game character, you are supposed to act as if what is going on isn't a game. References to 'pre game' destroy the immersion element, and the more it happens the less new people are aware they aren't supposed to do it either.
It's just recently been becoming an issue (at least on the Ideltech boards), but like a virus, it can spread.

Not to nit-pick here, but wasn't the stunt that Marcus et al. pulled with Joseph Palliser and Krystal the "pre-game?" Like i said, I don't wanna be splitting hairs, but I think its something that could easily be defended on IU

You guys wanna hear something hilarious. The next day after I posted this, I was writing my post about e-mailing a certain person about a certain domain (Idel people will know what I mean) and I almost did exactly what I was saying we shouldn't I only caught it a second before I hit submit.

It was only called pregame from our perspective. Someone pointed out the other day that Aware was apparently what the fake Palser kidnapping thing was supposed to be called, so the Aware references could be explained, but if that was 'pregame' then what would 'game' be in the context of IU?

I guess then we could refer to "AWARE" as the game that was suppose to be the final part of the Ideltech employee interview process, and not confuse the "game" "not a game" issue in IU.
Good catch!

Ya, I think we could say that, as long as we are referring to the in-game "AWARE" not the whole thing. This means we can also talk about Nash Carey, at least the in-game one, the PM of the in-game AWARE.
The curtain on this ARG is way confusing .
