  1. The CD. Did it have anything special about it? Because the only thing we couldn't find anywhere else was the file names. Did the "bright white light" phrase mean anything?
  2. Do you actually have paper copies with complete echoes? Because otherwise it would make no sense in leaving blank pages.
  3. What was the point of "USER: WTFAVERAGEJOE", since we had already found him by the time the comics arrived?
  4. Gurt's (and the lime bowl's :D ) cameo. Did you just add it in, or you made it when you were drawing the comics later? And does it mean that in the ARG's universe, Gurt is actually real (as a character at the real side of the wall)?

I can answer 4. I added the cameo as I was working on the Pan comics, which ended up being finished long after the others (along with Adam's comic). The game had been running for a while, and Gurt was already a thing by then, so I figured you guys would enjoy the reference. And of course he's a character in the alternate reality - you guys wrote him to be one. =)

  1. Nope.
  2. Nope. THOUGH... If we printed books with all the comics + the stories that were selected, would you buy them? We are not sure how much they would cost, but the idea has been thrown around. I'd pay for one.
  3. I answered this in the other thread. The comics were initially meant to be for recruitment of new people-- we sent them out to places like ARGnet, and Wikibruce, and random people like George Takai just because. Some of the random people were due to the fact that, due to an error in the first batch on the printers end, they gave us twice as many of our original order at no extra cost.
    Even after sending to a bunch of random people, we had some left over -- so we decided to give them out as swag. In retrospect, I kind of wish we had held off the grand reveal of Joe's channel for these comics, but that would have taken quite a bit of rescheduling.
  4. Val answered this.

I'd probably pay for one, if it wasn't too expensive.

I have quite a bit of Christmas cash socked away. I'd totally buy that.

Me too, I'd buy. I wasn't in the original mailing list so didn't recieve the package anyway, I'd like to own something tangible.

2?
Importing stuff tends to be a pain here, but I'd at least attempt to do it anyway. :)

I'd totally buy a copy of the comics/stories anthology, but considering that close to half of them would be my writing, I feel like I should get a copy for free. :p
