ExperienceIt is a local event for Boise-area residents only. It is a family-oriented activity geared towards the local community, in support of and with the cooperation of local businesses and non-profit organizations. This is a student-developed project which involves some internet sites along with real-world clues but you must be in Boise to receive them. If you live in Boise, feel free to follow along but the rest of us should leave this one alone for now.

The organizers of this event have extended a public apology to anyone who may have been led astray by the original post to the Unforum and subsequent events in response. After the local event is over, we may receive some scans and photos of the real-world clues so that those of us who are interested can play along after the fact.

Please do not attempt to contact the organizers, puppetmasters, or referenced businesses any further. We'll have more information in a couple of weeks.

We've resolved the connectivity issues with Doug TenNapel, and have rescheduled the live chat for this Sunday, December 8, 2002 at 4:00 pm EST/1:00 pm PST.

Once again, the chat will be held in #unfiction on the Chat-Solutions network (irc.chat-solutions.org). For those of you without an IRC client, #unfiction can be accessed via a browser-based java applet. Check in the Push, NV, forum for more details and chat guidelines.

Bioboy posted to the Unforum about a possible new game, which seems to revolve around some mysterious "Inventor" and his amazing creation called "Experience," that vaguely reminds me of the movie "Strange Days" for some reason.

I think it is real, but it might be a local thing ?

Now, naturally I am suspicious in general of a quick join and first post about some possible new game. And this time is no exception. But hey, it looks interesting enough to follow up on for a bit to see what's what. One funny thing is that the description on the site claims that multiple cities were begging the "Inventor" to bring his "Experience" to them, yet this is the first I've heard of it. Clearly it's completely true and not at all a game. Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think.

Today also marked the beginning of open registration for the upcoming Chasing The Wish campaign. If you haven't signed up yet, what are you waiting for? Once you have and if you are registered at the Unforum, stop by to vote in our impromptu poll (sponsored by Diandra) to tell us what level of immersion you picked. Inquiring minds want to know!

Congratulations are also in order for the winners of the Mini-Quest last Saturday, and to everyone who solved the quest. Way to go ARGonauts!
