Everything Falls Apart - The End (semi-OOG)

This has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life.  I want to write a proper goodbye, but it's going to have to wait until I gather my thoughts together.  I can't believe it's been 32 weeks and that it's the last day. I've made so many wonderful friendships, learned so many things.  It's my hope that this site still stays up because there are so many blogs, videos, emails, voicemails that I never got the chance to listen to.

When this started, I was excited, but I kept waiting for the puzzles, the anagrams, the hex codes, you know all the standard "Arg" components...yet as days, weeks passed I realized this ARG was so much more than a puzzle ever could be.  I had high hopes for this event, but I never dreamed it would be come the amazing tool for change that it is.   Time passed so quickly and I find myself wishing it was longer so that I could learn more and more about people and the changes they are making in their lives. 

I hope that this game met every expectation that the 10 to Save our Country had for it. You should be proud at what you have accomplished. I can't imagine what a high you guys must be on knowing that you created a the first ARG think tank that has had  a significant impact on the changing the world.  I think this game has ushered in a new wave of building community and educating the masses in a digital world. The founders of this ARG made history and we, the players thank you for it.

I guess this has turned into more of a proper goodbye then I thought.  I have to say though, that I didn't expect to be so emotional and have so much sadness in my heart that this ARG is coming to a close.  Like Gala_Teah, I too have tears in my eyes as I write this post. 

Thank you to everyone, players and creators,  for helping change my life and change the world. I and the planet will be forever grateful.  

I end this post with HOPE.  Because, that is what I'm filled with in this moment. I have HOPE for our future and a what powerful feeling that is.
