Hi all -- I've been so hesitant to post anything because I'm a little afraid of the backlash, since *nervous cough*, I'm the one that sold the p.monkey on ebay.
Honestly, I'm just a stay-home mom that got interested in the videos and I LOVE a good online alternate reality game. I was at Target one day looking for toys for my son, came across p.monkey and thought it would be fun to see just how crazy people were about LG15. My husband and I both thought it was a viral marketing scam where people would be trying to make money off of LG's image in some way. Well, p.monkey sold for a paltry $12 plus $5 shipping (and I had to pay for priority international mail! Oops), so we have sort of agreed that there may not be much in the way of tie-in sales of p.monkeys and stuff like that (HA!).
Anyway, I hope that you'll all look past the ebay thing and not consider me a money-grabber, since it was really just an experiment. I'm a bit of a lurker, although I'll post if I really have anything good to say. I have participated in two other AR online games, so it is possible that something from that might end up being helpful.
As for religion, I am a Christian and hold my beliefs very dear to my heart. However, my sister (who passed away a year ago) was a Wicca (believed in Wicca? Not sure of the proper wording), and I did spend a little time researching her beliefs so that I would be able to understand her more. So I guess that makes me interested in LG due to the obvious theme of the occult.
I'm fascinated to see where this is going - how fun for us to all see how this new medium of youtube will be used in our society!
