Guys, can we also focus on the main page, please? It's the first thing people see when they look up this ARG, and to be honest, it's not exactly easy on the eyes.

Also I think the description for the ARG could be better. It sounds kinda rushed.

This paragraph:
The tropers followed Average Joe, who was the first to notice the signs. As more details were found, Joe started to receive threatening letters from unknown senders. Eventually, Joe has gone on the run, but hasn't abandoned his mission. With his aid, Loads and Loads of Characters were found. Some of them are friendly and cooperative. Others... not so much.


Really could use a rework... It can be split into at least two more detailed descriptions, dealing first with who is joe and his role, then talking about the characters in a second paragraph...

Agreed. Anyone want to do that? I could, but I'm trying to start drafting stuff for the forum RP here.

I think the first paragraph could use some work too.

The second paragraph appears to give arbitrary plot details when the point of a description is for it to give people an overview of a work.

I needed two loops at the edit to fix my name (no space) and not break the link in the process...
If I do it I'll tell you guys, but I'm not very confident on my editing skills.

We could always fix it later. Or, if you want to type something up and we'll integrate ourselves we could do that too.

The Wall Will Fall is the Fan Nickname for the Echo Chamber's Alternate Reality Game, launched shortly after the ending of its second season. It began with a grave announcement from Mister Administrator. In this announcement, he stated that The Fourth Wall had started to crack, and that fictional characters were now crossing over into the real world. The tropers' mission is now to find all the characters who managed to cross the wall, bring them back, and fix the wall. If they were to fail, it could have disastrous consequences for both the real and fictional realities.


New first paragraph. Thoughts?

There has GOT to be a way to make quotes after bulletpointed entries look better than what I just did... Anyone more experienced know any tricks to fix those?

Tab doesn't work, and spacing it off to one side does nothing to the appearance.

Why not put the *** bullet point in front of it?

This looks great guys :mrgreen:
I'm not that good at writing a paragraph, but you did a really good job :P
And umm, about those important sites: Should we still have Unfiction and Shards on that list? The first isn't really active and we have no direct need for the second.

I think the Shards could go into the Image Links (don't know how to do that). No idea what to do about Unfiction.

I say we just remove the link to Unfiction... I think people will not need it because they won't go to Unfiction to discuss about anything, they will most likely come here. Basically, if you're on tvtropes for information about the ARG there's no reason for you to go to Unfiction.

And also it has *tumbleweed* written all over it.

Gonna add a page image, any ideas? I was gonna use the "it has only just begun" image, but as it's on tv tropes all the time there's not much point.

Hum... What about the Witch's poster, or Quixote's twitter pic? Tagline along the lines of "one of the characters".

Retain the unfiction link for now. People may want to check it for Archive Binge purposes. There Is No Such Thing As Notability, you know.

I was thinking something that represents the whole ARG. And I just had an idea. How about the front page of the comic?

I think the page image should be something besides a picture of one of the characters. It should be something to symbolize the whole ARG.

I like this, or maybe the inside when all the shards lined up?
