James Joyce ARG / Alternate Reality Game

An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and employs transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that may be altered by players' ideas or actions. The form is defined by intense player involvement with a story that takes place in real time and evolves according to players' responses. It is shaped by characters that are actively controlled by the game's designers...

"Sean Stacey, the founder of the website Unfiction, has suggested that the best way to define the genre was not to define it, and instead locate each game on three axes (ruleset, authorship and coherence) in a sphere of "chaotic fiction""

Don't believe the church and state
And everything they tell you ( Romans 11:32 )
Believe in me, I'm with the high command!
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? !DublinNight@lemm.ee

"The song's original title was simply "Silent Running"; the name extension was given when the song was chosen to appear in the 1986 movie On Dangerous Ground, which was titled Choke Canyon in the United States. The single was re-released in the UK in January 1986 to tie-in with the film, and peaked at No. 21 in the UK charts. The song was banned by the BBC during the Gulf War due to its address of war, nationalism and religion, as well as a direct reference to weaponry in the line, "There's a gun and ammunition just inside the doorway."" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Running_(On_Dangerous_Ground)

"December 7, 1933. Court Lifts Ban on 'Ulysses' Here. By THE NEW YORK TIMES. James Joyce's "Ulysses," a novel which has been banned from the United States by customs censors on the ground that it might cause American readers to harbor "impure and lustful thoughts," found a champion yesterday in the United States District Court. Federal Judge John M. Woolsey, after devoting almost a month of his time to reading the book, ruled in an opinion which he filed in court that "Ulysses" not only was not obscene in a legal sense, but that it was a work of literary merit." - https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/00/01/09/specials/joyce-court.html
