Just a question...

Would you ever consider doing this through a chat program such as IRC? While playing this, i found myself just sitting there hammering f5. Then we have the constant editing of posts throughout this thread. It'd be so much simpler doing it in a real-time environment.

It's more apt to the public on the forums, though. The IRC would take some time to set up, and it'd be too exclusive. Not everyone likes the IRC, and people wouldn't be able to just hop in on the action.

I'd hardly call IRC time intensive or exclusive. All it takes is to go to http://ibo.bungie.org/?irc and to type /join #WebcamRiddles. Takes all of 10 seconds.

What are you talking about?

There are many irc java clients out there for different servers that send you right in. And if you know the server address, you can use a client to connect to something yourself.

Over on irc.bungie.org, people jump in all the time. You just join, talk in discussion, or idle and watch the text scroll by.

Well, you guys are forgetting that not everyone that uses the Bnet forums are IRC users. There'd have to be stickied instructions on how to join our channel, as well as how to download an IRC and instructions for the new users. Plus, for people who just hop on, it's much easier to see that something is going on just by looking at the thread that has 50 billion pages. You can't join an IRC channel and see all the past posts and progress. It's not like using the forums is that difficult anyway.

I've just given you all the instructions you need - http://ibo.bungie.org/?irc and /join WebCamRiddles . Try it.

As for the other stuff - the removal of the server lag inherent in b.net, the blatant cheating in all the edited posts, and of course the problems of having to constantly refresh would all disappear. More than makes up for the occasional problem of a new person joining.

I'm not the problem, I know/use IRCs, I just dislike the idea for the same reason i dislike doing it in a private group forum. It takes away a lot of the accessibility, and the newcomers are less likely to want to join. MrHand said himself he talked to the marketing guys, and they liked the idea of doing this weekly. If the marketing guys are in on this, they're going to want it on the Bnet forums.

I'm just trying to keep this away from being an exclusive/private thing.

I suppose so - publicity > Exclusivity. I've changed my mind - keep it to the forums!!! :)

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Whoa, sorry I'm late, I had to unexpectedly leave. In any case, congrats Raven =)

MrHand, why don't you have a custom title seeing as your running the show and why not some snazzy coloured text? Achronos I am disappointed in you. My mum is disappointed in you.
