Well, let's see, I've played/observed more ARGs than I can conveniently count, and worked BTS on two major ones, and nothing I have played has ever required me, in the game's basic reality, to be anyone or anything but myself. So, I'm not seeing the roleplaying.
I think you're confusing what the PMs do with what the players do. How can it be "role-playing" if you're not playing a role? Phaedra777 17:46, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I think you are not quite comprehending fully the terms of engagement between the internal self and the public self. We are always playing a role. The only thing at issue is how many roles are being acted at simultaneously, and what props we are using: The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life Symbolic interactionism Meehawl 17:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
And I think that while that may be a valid argument, for people looking for a basic idea of what an ARG is, comparing it to a LARP or RPG is going to give them an inaccurate perception. Phaedra777 17:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

This article is not "controversial in tone and unsourced" - it is a statement of two facts, both of which can be sourced multiple times, and this article contains a direct link to a government registry of sex offenders. This is a canonical source that cannot be legitimately disputed. This person is notable, and has been covered by numerous printed publications for the past ten years.Meehawl 03:27, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
It may not have been an attack page but the article was anyways a candidate for speedy deletion based on criteria CSD A1 - article that provides little or no context. So I would suggest that you expand the article with reliable sources and make that the individual is notable, because it may have a CSD A7 candidate, an article on an individual that does not assert its significance. Also I wasn't the one who proposed the deletion but another editor, the one who've put the warning. --JForget 03:35, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
I've restored the article but in condition that you make improvements to the article. I've added the necessary tags for improvements. If nothing is done to improve the article, it is very susceptible to be tagged for speedy deletion (WP:CSD) or deletion discussion (WP:AFD). Otherwise, you may just want to merge it to the Digital Entertainment Network per failure in meeting notability guidelines (WP:BIO).JForget 03:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

- My ego has nothing to do with this whatsoever. The article had been tagged for deletion for a lack of content, not for the content itself. I will be more than happy to restore the article for you and place a construction template on it. PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:50, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
And there you have it. PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:53, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
