	Alternate reality game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An alternate reality game is a cross media game that deliberately blurs the line between the in-game and out-of-game experiences, often being used as a marketing tool for a product or service.
		Alternate reality games are usually earmarked by a large game-reality in the form of multiple websites, all of which take themselves as being totally real.
		Important to alternate reality games is the concept of "this is not a game." To be most effective, these games don't advertise themselves as such, and never really admit to being a game at all.

		IFR flying, I think, is 20% about flying and navigating the plane on instruments and 80% about memorizing obscure rules, and the IFR alternate airport rules (for choosing an alternative airport in advance, in case weather keeps you out of your destination) illustrate that point nicely.
		The main problem with alternates is fuel: in both Canada and the US, you have to carry enough fuel IFR to fly to your destination, do a missed approach, fly to your alternate, do a missed approach, and then fly 45 minutes more.
		If your airplane can’t carry enough fuel/payload for that trip, it is unwise to attempt it, even if a legally satisfactory alternate is available, and much less if the nearest real alternate is 200 nm away.
