Perplex City[edit]

Hi there. Not sure how familiar Wikipedia users are with Alternate Reality games, but I've sort of run into some problems with the Perplex City article that I need feedback on. First of all there is the problem that there are two distinct parts of the Perplex City article - The huge plot section and the parts about the game. Because the game is going into another season that will have a different plot but a different set-up, I was considering moving the plot section (besides the "Background" part) to a separate article, but I'm not sure if there are other guidelines to adhere to.

Also, there is the problem about an ARG term known as "line-blurring". Line blurring is what "puppet masters" (people who run ARG's) attempt to do - to blur the line between fiction and reality. In reference to Perplex City, this would involve, for example, the fact that The Receda Cube is both a fictional artifact (it is not really a weapon or a religious artifact, those are only part of the story), but it is also a physical object that actually exists (but is only a metal cube). Characters aren't real, but their blog posts are. See the dilemma? This poses a problem in the plot section. It's hard to adhere to WP:FICT while remaining concise (Scarlet's blog said that, in the game, she was going to the town of Vindenbourg, a fictional city in the game.).

So, please review and give me some feedback. Thanks. -AtionSong 21:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You need to clean up your references and you had two spoiler warnings so I removed one of them. --thedemonhog talk contributions 16:11, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
