Working there for as long as you did, you had to have encountered (or participated with) folks that were 'doing the deed'. What's the most memorable story you have of catching people with their pants down?

Looking at this concept I am reminded of two very specific instances where the concept of a 'collective influence' for the narrative was used to memorable effect. The first is the experience that was 'Twitch plays Pokemon' (Hail Helix), and the second is the short series made by Wham City Comedy called 'The Cry of Mann'. Did y'all do any research into other experiences like the one you're creating to get an idea of how you could structure your narrative? Or was this mostly just a shot-in-the-dark to see what would happen?

If you ever have time for it I would highly recommend looking into it. Wham City Comedy is good on their own, but 'The Cry of Mann' was a real-time experiment hosted on Adult Swim that really pushed their improv skills to the limits. It's also interesting to see how the story changed based on viewer input, and how the story might have changed if the audience went a different route and said the right things. They actually had viewers call-in to the show live, it was nuts.

They also had a fake 'after show' talk show where the 'directors' and 'actors' discussed the events in the show in the style of 'The Talking Dead'. Some of it was legit, but a lot of it was actually done in-character to help clue the audience in to what was actually going on in the narrative. Still entirely audience driven so if the audience didn't think to ask the right questions then they were left in the dark.

For context, Wham City Comedy are the guys behind 'Too Many Cooks' and a few other viral internet things like 'Picture Of A Bear' and 'This House Has People In It.' They have a very creepy arthouse style of storytelling that just compels you to keep watching.
