Portland OR GM needs help mind-#$&*ing her players.  Reply with quote  

Hey, all.

I'm running a game that includes reality-blurring elements. One of my players has been writing (via email) a woman he rescued in the first half of the game. They have been corresponding for a few months.

He's now asked for a physical address to send a letter, mostly to get me to break character and give a Portland OR address.

The woman lives in Beaver, Oklahoma.

I'm trying to figure out a way to get an Oklahoman address to send this letter to, ideally in or near Beaver (though I could probably figure out how to make it work if it was a bit farther out but still in OK).

As far as I can tell, I can't just rent a PO box and have it forward to my home address, though I haven't gotten confirmation on that yet.

Does anyone have any suggestions? If any of you are in OK and would be willing to take part in breaking my player's brains, I would be willing to trade (graphics, Steampunk stuff, or reciprocal brain-hurting things for your players) or compensate you in some way.

For kicks, some of the other things I have done to them.

* Started blending things that were happening outside of game in game. Clues for some of the language puzzles were physically on the gaming table, and had been all session.
* In game, they were "infected" with classic Villains (Dracula, Hyde, Captain Hook, the Big Bad Wolf) who started talking to them (via notes) in game. I then created email addresses very similar to the player's, forwarded all replies to them back to the actual players email... and their passengers started talking to them. When they replied, it made it look like they were talking to themselves (To: me. From: me). This actually freaked a few less tech savvy players out.
* Made a website they found through breaking a cryptogram on the character sheet, and have video messages hidden therein from the antagonist.


There's a few more things in store, but I don't want to spoil it for the players if they find this (though, to my knowledge, none of them are on the forum.)

Very Happy

Mouse

are you going to pay $100 and then send a check for $500 and ask the recipient to send the $400 cash to you along with the letter?

I bet there is a mail forwarding service in or near Beaver, OK. You should check for that. Mail forwarding services are handy thing to have. Though, some are pricey.

There are, unfortunately, some obstacles you'll have to overcome. For instance, Oklahoma requires that you have a copy of a government issued photo ID on file with your current address on file with the mail forwarding service.

Nope, not a Nigerian scam, though that would be the most convoluted one ever.

Yeah, the mail forwarding thing is why I didn't just spring for a PO box. The letter I'm expecting him to send will be more along the lines of what you might send your grandmother; "how are you, I am fine, I hope you got the card I sent you."

The woman he's writing has been stuck in a pocket universe since 1935 (when she was ten).

You can see the website of the guy i'm messing with here:
http://tomthefanboy.com/rpgdocs/omgom/mdom.html

I found your forum after asking around on the SJgames forum. I'm not trying to scam anyone, just trying to mess with the heads of my players. Basically, if someone has an address I can sent it to, and then either send it to me OR open it and scan/email it to me, I'd be willing to trade either graphics/webwork, ad space on my website, or a bit of money.

I'm willing to answer any questions anyone has about the project. I know it's an unusual request.

Anything in the western part of the state would be cool, really. Beaver is a little place, I know. Smile

I know someone in Beaver but there is no way i'm ever asking someone to do what is mentioned in the op. Something just feels 'off' about it.

My family lives out there, but Western OK and Panhandle OK are nowhere near each other.

Beaver can be quite elusive at times.

Lolz, random roleplay chick must now think we're crazy. She'd be right, I suppose.
