| Yo, Im Brains. Ive been a fan of BrainBread for many a year and i prefered it over many of the mods out at the time and i still play it now and then. When i saw that BB:S was coming i just shat bricks and thought OMG THIS IS AMAZING. (Yes, it was quite like that.) But over the years, the community has been shrinking and i want it to expand again, akin to ZP:S. Therefore to Promote BB:S i will be willing to construct a BB:S ARG if i have the support of the Developers of BB:S and Fans alike on my side, i think we can create a piece of interactive fiction and have alot of fun with it. So, What do you bros say? Yours Sincerely,Brains! |

| and what exactly do you mean by a BB:S ARG ?? |

"An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive narrative that uses the real world as a platform, often involving multiple media and game elements, to tell a story that may be affected by participants' ideas or actions." -Wikipedia Its basically like a mystery game where the fans must uncover various objectives and complete them, for example decoding a message and obeying what it does, there are also decisions you can make in a arg where it impacts the outcomes of these objectives. (For Example, Decoding a message, and having to decide what it means, choosing the wrong meaning will therefore have a negative impact on the ARG, like halting the ARG from making progress, and making the right meaning will have a positive impact on the ARG, revealing a extra challenge for a reward of some sort.) EDIT Excuse my defintion its kinda flawed. |

| By the way, for various examples on ARG type material, look no further than the Potato Sack Deal ARG. http://valvearg.com/wiki/Valve_PotatoFoolsDay_ARG_Wiki |

| Was reading through my Game Informer Magazine, and found a topic on AR (I'm assuming similar or the same as ARG?) http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/02/26/see-the-3ds-39-built-in-ar-games-in-action.aspx Something I found in a google search. That video doesn't work, so here is another video I found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke6kojQeTLY |

AR is Alternative Reality. ARG Is Alternative Reality Game. Its easy to get the two mixed together with the same boat. |

Hi, I say no more, Morse code  lets get on-topic now, and i dont understand a Shit about this so i let another dev decide about this OK?.cheers, Fedde |

Hooray For this you win my gratitude! The others are famous zombie quotes The End is Very ####### Nigh (28 Days Later) Mother of Mercy (L4D) And the Final Morse Codes are references to BrainBread, the title. ARG is basically like that except incorperated into game, movies and other neat little things, usually with alot more complexity too. |
