Will we still get to see Morgan's last Echo? Can you provide a link for us now?

You know, I'm personally kind of glad this one wasn't found, as Morgan is wearng something a little too comic-booky for us. We actually had her comics redone because of her outfit. Except for this one.

It's still there, and you can get it if you really want.

For completeness sake, we'll have to ask Dilly to get it once she can. We can't leave without seeing all the Echoes!!!

I will tell you, to pique your interest, that the trope was Tsundere.

...I don't know why, but I gave Morgan all those Japanese romance tropes I really hate. Probably because I hate them so much, and found it amusing.

We actually deliberately picked weird tropes sometimes (Insurmountable Waist High Fence, anyone?). This was usually (always) Connor's idea.

The rationale, I think, was to see how you guys would do when given a difficult assignment. We believed, correctly, that you would rise to the challenge. Write a good fic with this oddball trope! You really came through on that count.

I could do without the Meet Cute Crash Into Hello, but like I told you as Waka, I happen to LIKE the Tsundere trope. It's funny...

Yeah, I don't think we can emphasis enough how happy we are with the stories you guys wrote.

Other that the moral choice, incorporating a creative element as a core was probably the other big risk this ARG took... and that one paid off handsomely. I know some of my good friends in the industry doubted that particular risk would work.

They're dummies then! The fact that our players wrote our ending is the coolest thing about the game, IMHO.

Yeah, Connor, agreed. What we wanted to do was make this an ARG that you didn't have to just contribute to with interactions, but by literally writing the ending to the characters' stories. A teacher of mine said that the most valuable way to interact with a player is to give them a piece of the story to shape for themselves, and I guess I took that to heart.

If anybody could pick the echo up, do so. Although then I will inevitably want a full echo comic...

Also, that whole thing with us writing the ending about which the puppetmasters themselves has derailed the thread with? Freaking awesome. You certainly did that right. A wise teacher, I say, who taught you that.

I'll ask it in here, to not flood the forum with another thread: What is the order of the comic pages? Or isn't there one?

Nope, no order to them. If I had to pick, though, I guess the order they happened in?

There is only the order you found them in.

I'm... less confident every day that I'll be able to get it. Like I've said, getting myself to San Francisco is easy, but getting a smartphone there is looking impossible. I have about another week during which I might be able to swing it, and I'll try, but if I can't do it by then I won't have another chance to get up there until March.

Also... if we really can't find it any time soon, would you please release it for us, just for completeness' sake? Pretty please?

The echo will be there forever as long as Layar is in business, so I'm not too concerned about handing it over.

New plan guys: We must crash Layar.

That is a terrible plan and exactly the opposite of what this ARG is supposed to encourage you to do =P

Okay, so in 15 years, when I finally have the finances and freedom to do so, I'll fly over to SF with my new iPhone 67 and fetch that echo for you guys. Fair?

>_> I probably should be less serious more.
or something. with elephants.

I could POSSIBLY get the echo....in like 5 years... somehow I think that might be a little too late.

The best way to sarcastically respond to sarcasm is to pretend you missed it.

Yeah, encouraging us... have you guys had a 100% accuracy rating with that, pray tell?

I'm on to you, Eli.

yes, I'll admit it.
I was secretly myself the entire time.
I know this may come as a surprise to all of you, and I'm sorry.


I swear this is probably the last major derail
maybe not. I dont really know.

Fellow metaguards, we blew the chance to make me actually like Morgana.
