Oh, yeah, sorry about that, I'm afraid my minimum rates are rather cost-prohibitive for projects like that.
As far as how long I've been doing the covers, I dunno, it's been on-and-off, maybe 10 years? I have a big stack of covers, as you can see.

Shig Diggerton
Oh I see. :( It would have been cool to have one designed by you. Guess I will try to do it myself

Exciting Books
I'm not sure what your creepy friend is up to, but please tell him to knock it off, he's weirding me out.

Shig Diggerton
Oh I apologize for that. Its just that we have been working about 2 years on this ARG and we just want top see whats going on. I hope you can understand his determination and decisions behind some of the questions he has asked.
If its not of an inconvenience, perhaps you can spend 20 minutes or so in our IRC and answer some questions? We would appreciate it. If not, I totally understand.

Exciting Books
Well, he's got a creepy-stalker-aggro approach. I've already been contacted by one large video game company about my work, and to them I'm willing to give up my contact info, but not for less than that, sorry. ;) From what I can tell from your wiki, you guys seem to be pretty good at squeezing out info, and I'm not going to give out my actual portfolio site just to have one of you guys show up at my house, sorry.

Shig Diggerton
Ok. Yeah sorry man. Its just you are the only link between the people we are trying to find and us.
I hope that didn't sound too creepy ha ha. Well I appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to talk to us. Good luck on the video game project you have coming up.

You're not creeping me out, just the other dude. I can't really fathom why he thinks it's OK for me to share private business correspondence
Then he starts asking me for personal info on top of that, and it weirds me out. Perfectly polite, but sociopathic nonetheless.
He starts off with two DMs telling me to email him (I don't even know who he is, he didn't mention he was talking to you.)

Shig Diggerton
Well he does own a company, possible he wanted to do business and try to find some stuff out in return?

Exciting Books
Then I ask who he is and launches right in to asking who commissioned this work, like he's a fucking FBI agent or something.
It didn't come off that way at all.

Shig Diggerton
But again I understand man. Just out of curiosity, how much would a logo like that cost that I wanted?
That guy has put WAY more time than you can imagine into the game. For him its probably like he is a block away from the Holy Grail

Exciting Books
Anyway, is there any way I can help you guys out that doesn't involve sharing my email with strangers or having some random person show up at my house?

Shig Diggerton
But there are 100000 houses that he needs to search to find it. Knowing that there is someone that knows a little more about it excited
him
Would you come to the ARG. I PROMISE he wont get too creepy again. If so, you can split anytime you'd like

Exciting Books
My minimum billable hours come out to $2400.

Shig Diggerton
Or the IRC rather, sorry
HOLY FUCK!!!! lol yeah I was thinking like 20 bucks or so for the logo lol.

Exciting Books
For one, my name is on my portfolio site, and from the looks of it, you guys could probably have someone in front of my house pretty quickly

Shig Diggerton
Oh no believe me its not like that. If it makes you feel comfortable I will give you my real name and where I live
Was that creepy? lol

Exciting Books
Anyway, I don't have an IRC account, sorry

Shig Diggerton
