Hi, Hershele, me and a few other tropers are currently involved in the ARG for tvtropes, The Wall Will Fall. If you're familiar with alternate reality games, sometimes they'll have preform real world events in certain locations. We currently have something like that taking place in New York, and were hoping we could get your assistance (since you live in the area based off the Troper Map).

If you're willing to assistance us, we need you to download an app to your smartphone, http://www.layar.com/, which is some sort of augmented reality app. With it, you would go to the Plaza Hotel or Duffy Square (or Both ) and use the app to look for specific objects. You would then click on the objects and use a password on them, Gurt, which would allow us to get the information from those areas.

If your interested in helping us beyond that, you can get a full run down of the story here, http://watchthefootage.twwf.info/?page_id=60. And we have a forum thread for technical support on layar here, viewtopic.php?f=19&t=210.

I hope to hear back from you soon.

Tvtropes, these aren't players (yet), maybe coming up with a template will work best. Here's what I pm'd Hershel:

You have to search for them on TV tropes (I used the google search) and then PM them. The forum posts are the best way to do that.

You know, after taking this Interaction Design class, I think I really dislike the way TVTropes is set up. Not very user-friendly.

We'll see if we get any bites. Should we open a new thread on Unfiction.com too?

Does he know anyone who does? =P The "Hey, talk to your friends as well" angel is maybe one we should try.

Not really that discouraged though as that list is actually quite long.

We will now.
