The thing I disliked the most about camping was that when you reached the end of the game, so were the camping scenes. It was an innovative and atmospheric way to allow characters to provide feedback regarding current events, developing them and the story before and after the fact, without having to rely on or cluttering cutscenes. But it was such an integral part of the experience that when there were no longer updates, that really marked the end.
After it was all over, I would have liked to have had one last fireside chat...
