I made up my mind about credits

. . . . and I thought you all might want to know. :)

It's been enlightening to experiment a bit with credits this past week. Thanks for all the good feedback on credits. I'm actually full circle on this issue.

I'm going to abandon OOG credits altogether. Not because I don't appreciate you all and the work you put in. I do! But it's distracting and it doesn't give credit to the collective effort that happens. Even people who don't solve any puzzles, but chime in with entertaining things deserve credit for keeping morale up (like Chelsey doing the worm when acid tells her to be useful). Every solve is truly a group effort.

I'm also going to avoid updating publicly how many steps there are to puzzles. However, know that I am keeping score behind the scenes, and when the series runs it's course, I'll publish my log.

Also, I'm not going to use the characters to encourage those on the right track that they are right either. Actually, this time around, the actors are going to be playing their characters in chat, on emails and the like, and they will earnestly not know the answers to the problems at hand. They will be just as lost as you.

So, the only place to look for answers will be the story. The only way to discover the hidden truths here will be to look carefully, mobilize effectively, and make sure every puzzle is found and solved. Some will be easy, and others will be near impossible.

This decision is motivated by my desire to not give any hints to you. I don't want to spoil the story.

I'm giving you my advice now through these mini puzzles. I hope it helps when the time comes.

As always, I'm flexible, and I'd love to hear your feedback on this policy. I'd certainly change my mind on this if someone presented a good argument to do so.

Maddison Atkins: Pre-Game Puzzles

However, we want everything to be in your hands without shills or any OOG hints. We want to respect the ARG notion of TiNaG too.

As you all can probably see, these dynamics are all tough to balance.

These puzzles serve several purposes for us.

1. We get to reward the die-hard Maddison fans that have returned with the opportunity to earn some inside info.
2. We get to beta test these OOG processes of celebrating fan solves, giving credits, and potential approaches to letting the audience know when certain things are done.
3. We get to practice making puzzles together.
4. And you all get to have fun in the process... hopefully.

So...that's it. Right now, we are experimenting, and I'm willing to try anything twice. It's the best possible time to chime in with your perspectives.

Thanks in advance.
