Clue #66 - Rachel Blake Iceland Post 03 & DJDan 6/30
Rachel Blake Update:
Rachel Blake = Persephone! She's finally cleared it all up for us, and Rachel IS in fact Persephone so the debate has been laid to rest...She has been busy in Iceland and has already posted twice today. Scroll down for Iceland Post 03 then back up for more comments on Mittelwerk. It looks like she's headed for Italy next...
DJ Dan Update & Podcast:
DJDan's site was updated on 6/30 before his podcast was up. He's got Thomas Mittlewerk in his sites and has a new Sprite Ad on his page. He also had a new podcast that Rachel lead us to. Rachel Blake's blog linked us to the RetrieversofTruth message board (to get there from the retrieversoftruth page, you have to use "polar bear" as the password) and the podcast URL is in the "By the power of gravy...I HAVE THE POWER" thread. Valenzetti stuff and Rachel/Persephone calls in. Uber interesting stuff...
Thanks to Thraser76, Faith ^_^ and devondude for being the first to email!

third!
Mittelwerk had better watch his back in Sanremo, those Italians don't screw around, they're much more likely to help an American hottie like Rachel than a slimy creep like Mittelwerk...
For those without speakers:
“Coming to you live from the fire in your belly…D.J. Dan! You’re listening to DJ Dan…shutting down the man!”
DAN: And I’m here talking to Rus…
RUS: Russel!
DAN: Yeah, yeah. Russel Andrews who, uh--
RUS: --who’s here to tell you we’re in a lot of trouble and most of us don’t even realize it!
DAN: Russel?
RUS: We have an ecosystem on the brink of—
DAN: I’m trying to be polite here! Russel! Tell us, what is your job?
RUS: As I’ve already explained, I’m a mathematical forecaster and—
DAN: Nah, nah hold it right there, just hold. My listeners hear “mathematical forecaster” and already…(makes pop/click sound with mouth)…they’re disconnected. Now Rus, tell me: what does a mathematical forecaster do?
RUS: Basically, I use algorithms to forecast systematic—
DAN: EHHH! You use math to predict the future but Rus, nobody can predict the future.
RUS: That’s not true.
DAN: I repeat: nobody. I don’t care who you are, what you do, who you pray to, what kinda computer power your packing, what kind of degrease/degrees (?) your holding, what kind of…tarot cards, and star charts, and tea leaves, and coffee grounds, and pig’s blood, and moon runes, you can never, ever predict what is coming out of my mouth RIGHT NOW. Come on, give it a shot. Try, try, try, SIX backward church dummies, you know, Madagascar, huh?
RUS: S-So what?
DAN: So I just proved my point?
RUS: L-Look, DJ Dan, if what I’m saying is so far off the mark, tell me: why would the UN hire Enzo Valenzetti in 1963 to apply the laws of statistical probability to predict the future? Of mankind?
DAN: Enzo Venza-what-a-whata?
RUS: Enzo Valenzetti...he-he was the greatest mind in mathematical history.
DAN: Then how come I ain’t heard of him?
RUS: Because he died before his prime. He was piloting a plane from Naples to Paris and it just—disappeared. H-he was killed! Killed, DJ Dan. Uh, to hide the truth.
DAN: And what truth might that be?
RUS: After the Cuban missile crisis, the UN decided to fly my field to the prospects of humanity. They hired this [pres-something?] grad student, Valenzetti, to come up with this equation that would help look into the—
DAN: Aright, right. Rusty, Rusty, Rustel, what did this equation say?
RUS: N-n-nobody knows. It was an oral presentation to the UN, and then the whole thing’s been suppressed. And he-he developed it on his own in seclusion.
DAN: Then how do you know this Valenzetti equation even exists?
RUS: Because a book was written about it. I’ve been trying to get my hands on it for years but it’s out of print, and somebody just bought the original publisher.
DAN: Looks like a real conspiracy theory, Rusty. And who, praytell, bought the publishing company?
RUS: The Hanso Foundation.
DAN: SHUT DOWN!! Very clever Rus, very clever, but I’ve seen enough parlor tricks in my day to know when I’m being had.
RACHEL: Maybe you shouldn’t be so quick to shut down your callers, DJ Dan.
DAN: Ooohh, a feisty one! You sound waaay to hot to be one of my conspiraspies. Who am I talkin’ to here?
RACH: Here’s what I know: Remember your Vik Institute show? Mental hospital run by the Hanso Foundation, full of number-crunching savants in a mysterious dark basement?
DAN: Yeah, yeah.
RACH: I know for a fact that it’s full of mathematicians and those savants? They’re running an equation over and over. It’s just like what you said. Mittelwerk doesn’t want a data trail.
DAN: So, uh, so so what, you think they’re running this Valentiki equation?
RACH: Guess you are as smart as you look.
DAN: Ho-ho-ho-ho. If I wasn’t married I’d take you to the Puerto Rican beach where I grew up and marry you on the SPOT!
RACH: Too bad you’re married!
DAN: [Spanish that would take to long for me to do]
RACH: You want to know what I’m wearing? Something cute. Too bad the Hanso Foundation wants me dead. You’ll never get to see.
DAN: Wait a minute, who is this really?
RACH: Persephone.
DAN: Persephone? Talk-tur-Perseph-Tonya! Quick! Trace the call! Trace the call right now! Trace it, come on.
TONYA: Trace it? With my pencil?
DAN: Jus-ah. DJ Dan, more in love than ever before.
“You’re listening to D.J. Dan…shutting down the man!”
(Head-banging music)
Does anyone think that JJ Abrams has a penchant for mysterious geniuses who live/died/disappeared in Italy?
At least Rachel=Persephone. Now we can move on from that!
SpeckledBand: thanks for the text. I can't figure out the podcasts, for some reason. Acutally, I know the reason: have no computer knowledge...
Thanks, again!!
Top 20!
Rachel is Persephone! Finally some answers!
On the previous clue comments we've been discussing why Mittelwerk is going to Sanremo, Italy and not Sardinia (where every website I know of that deals with Valenzetti states he was born in 1920's). He died/disappeared piloting a plane between Naples and Paris. So why Sanremo?
omniscient: That's probably how they'll get out of this one!
like i said before, Sanremo is between Naples and Paris - maybe that's where his plane disappeared (aka where he was last seen), and that's why everyone is heading there - maybe Mittelwerk has him tied up there.
also, i agree with whoever said that JJ Abrahams seems to have a penchant for Italian geniuses...first Rambaldi on Alias, and now Valenzetti on LOST...it's interesting, at any rate.
omniscient, GG must know something we don't, because all info about Valenzetti says he's from Sardinia. granted, it's not difficult to get to Sardinia from Sanremo by ferry, but still.
108th!!!
jeez, you guys left the last comments section without tellin me!
i was talking to myself in there!
LOL oxilini!
Did the same to me Oxillini, that is why I went back and posted the info. to jet over here...meh
I'm going on record as saying the "map guy" who screwed up was also in charge of the valenzetti location part of the ARG. That guy should be canned!
oh yah...35 here...yah.
Thanks thrasher. Had it not been for you, I'd still be in there?
Guys?........Hello?......
oxillini: I think a certain number of mistakes (aka RED HERRINGS) have to be placed in order to screw around with us. Leave us false trails of breadcrumbs to occupy our time with and distract us from other issues.
it sounds like they listen to your podcasts quite alot admin.... whenever you make comments on it... seems they listen and respond in their own way.
now you just need to figure out what questions still need to be asked/answered by them...
tapdawg: Maybe by posing the right questions, they'll lead us in the right direction...
Actually, retract that. ARGs have release dates and scheduled formats behind them. They expect us to keep up.
For example, we got ahead of schedule yesterday with the RDB site, so we won't have those clues to catch up on tonight.
Like trailing behind, we're mostly just along for the ride.
involvement? anyone try it yet?
but those don't come up with a "/"
never mind. has to be in this format:
http://www.richerdeeperbroader.com/welcome/your/next/video/needs/your/experiences/
Welcome. Your next video needs your experiences _______.
Anyone think it's already there like the 3 parts of the letter were?
Glad you're on, belly. I've got a question.
Word on the grapevine is that you're going to be at SDCC in a month.
I'll be there as well. Care to get together to see what goes down at the Lost symposiums with the creators?
I just know something live is going to happen there. Maybe Rachel Blake will be in the audience or maybe Mittelwerk will answer questions, in game.
Anyhoo, so yeah. Want to get a group together for ComicCon?
omni: you were right about the / thing. my question is if someone does guess the right word for
http://www.richerdeeperbroader.com/welcome/your/next/video/needs/your/experiences/_______/
what would happen? is the video already there waiting and we could guess our way in?
belly0fdesire said...
Lena: have you ever figured anything out about the "podcast excerpt" on the DJ Dan site? it sems like a bunch of clips from different podcasts, but they don't seem to make much sense all streamed together like that... before, when you had your "podcasts are out of order" theory, I thought they maybe an indication as to the correct order... have you ever questioned or looked into it?
Sorry but jury still out on that right now...wanna see something neat that I found about the mystic creature on his site???????
AND...does anyone have the university website where that was found??? I dont remember where.
kvonhard: It's supposedly non-canon, but it has FAR TOO MUCH information on that site to be taken lightly.
There is literally a college textbook's worth of inormation on the "Influential Work" link.
Also, the FAQs has responses to TLE players that have asked the owner questions. He seems to dodge around it pretty well.
Non-canon? Yes, maybe. Important? I think so.
I bookmarked it and have slowly been reading everything, at any rate.
lena: You mean the mapinguari? Yeah, hit us.
Kvonhard - site is out of game, sorry...check out the research blog and Matt the Pales great breakdown of the equation!
Belly - When is it? I would love to see the video...
belly: Naw, that's cool. If you do manage to show up for the Q&A, try to get ahold of me.
It would be great if a group of people were in the back protesting Joop imprisonment with "Save Joop!" signs and cliche rally chants. Totally making the whole thing more than real. Taking the reality of it up a notch.
Is anyone else going to be going??
thrasher76: SDCC is July 19th-23rd.
http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci06prog_lost.shtml
And not to spam-rush the blog, but an important note about SDCC.
I WILL be taping the entire Q&A, and will support the video on YouTube once I get back. I'll have front row seats for it as well, if I can get the chance.
Too bad I am an east coaster...I would join you Mochi, have a ARG save joop protest!!!
thrasher: If I can rally enough people together online for one, I definitely will.
There's no doubt in my mind that something important to the ARG will happen there. It's too important not to, IMO.
acts4food: No characters from the ARG are "offically" scheduled to speak, but I simply have a firm belief that they will. SDCC is huge, this is the third year the Lost crew/creators will be there, and the fact that TLE ARG is occuring at the same time is too much of a coincidence for something cool/big to not go down there. Let me know if you do end up going via email/IM. Getting a group together is first and foremost.
mr.bankhead: I think she's talking about his writing style being dead. A comment on his person, not his state of living.
Well, I think I can sit and theorize all I want, really. You come off as being very abrasive in your comments and there's no need for that. Having read over their complete interview on the SDCC page, I still don't see any announcement of any event, other than a mention of "We feel the experience at the panel this year is going to be especially interesting with some of the stuff we’re planning."
So, really, until a link to some offical announcement of the ARGs involvement is provided to me, I think I'll sit and theorize.
Besides, I'm just trying to get a group together from the blogs and forums anyways..
Cool!! have a rocking weekend everyone, I will check in now and again from the beach!!!
adedmat: Do you have a link or should I start hunting for it on the ABC website?
Well, I work anywhere between 10-16 hours each day sometimes, so it's very difficult for me to keep up with all of the things that are released each day. In any case, it's no problem whatsoever. I'm listening to the podcast now, so all is well.
Thanks everyone!
one of those eternal DJDan answers that I don't think we'll ever get an answer to...
How did Rachel listen to DJDan's show live???
;-)
lavenda: Pixie magic, I'm sure.. Or a magnetic anomaly.
Just caught up guys...
I think RB/P just used her Little Orphan Annie decoder ring to figure out what radio station to listen to, Ralphie just quite too soon. The whole message was "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine, and listen to DJ Dan on KKWZ."
the uber femme - An article on Lostpedia (before it SHUTDOWN!) had E. Valenzetti as being born in Sardinia. Being a fictional character, we can't really verify this with a birth certificate or anything, but SPEAKER stated that the article was "very accurate".
shakey: Perhaps he has to play dumb, so that he draws less attention to himself. It tends to discredit him quite a bit, but if he has any sort of information he shouldn't have, which we expect he does, then not only would he have to play the fool occasionally too cover for himself, but it also helps to explain why he's moving around all the time.
Do we have a transcript of the article before it went bye-bye?
shakey, I have to agree. We've suspected DJ Dan for a while now, and he just seems to be getting more suspicious. He loves to dote on Persephone and her hacks, but then doesn't seem to know anything about the information P gave us. It doesn't add up. This may all be a part of the podcasts being out of order, but now we have this one that seems to be "real time" almost; due to the interaction with the podcast, RB, the VIK stuff, and RB's posts on her blog.
This brings me to my questions/points:
1. If this is a "real-time" release, then it's after the "sell-out" podcast.
2. If this one is not out of order, why hasn't DJ Dan heard of mathematical forecasting? Didn't he LOOK at THF.org?
3. Since we are fairly certain that he has looked at THF.org since he has mentioned P and her hacks in the past, why play ignorant and try to dismiss it?
Yet another perfect example of not knowing who we can trust. We still don't know P/RB's motives, we don't know who Gidgetgirl is or her motivations, we surely don't know what DJ Dan is up to, the RoT guys don't know themselves what's going on.... aaaaagh! So, who CAN we trust?
I'd simply love to know why we can never seem to get a full podcast from him that doesn't start in the middle of a conversation with someone (like a caller) or is cut off prematurely. I guess all of our videos are plauged like that, though. We never get the full story. We have to put things together by ourselves.
yes... DJDan is odd. I had a little suspiscion that DJDan was playing dumb to ask questions on his listeners behalf, to get people to explain things in a more simple way for laymen to understand... we all know technobabble can be utter confuzzling at times. But that still doesn't seem to add up. At the same time Rachel has been doing a bit too,, hence all the doubt she was Persephone. Hmm, something to ponder...
Everyone: Check out TLE Research Timeline. There's a link on 1963 when Valenzetti presented his Equation to the UN. It says he was born in the 1920's on the ISLAND(!) of Sardinia.
lol @ Rachsephone. Persephel works as well!
I think you're right about the building-up concept, shakey. Acts One and Two will provide us with the information (and socio-mental disorders) required to finish the Third Act and the game. Either that, or the Third Act will be so complicated, that only players that have been keeping up with the things the entire time will have the slightest chance of finishing it, due to the level of complexity, esoteric knowledge, and level of detail in keeping all of the facts, lies, and half-truths straight.
Personally, I look forward to it. Some corporation-made ARGs had prizes or contest puzzles at the end of them, to reward the players with something. Take the 2002 ARG for "Push". $1,000,000 for the winner of that one...
darkamrk: That quote has to be taken with a grain of salt, since it is currently considered non-canon.
mochi: Well, we have nothing else to go on. You would think the TPTB would have put out something somewhere about San Remo as his birthplace. Instead we have this supposed article from Wiki and the valenzettifoundation website (which I KNOW is not in-game). And, no, I didn't mean to infer it was THE island, but meant that it was an island (ha ha) since we are so obsessed by islands lately.
omni: Ah, that kind of sucks. Not like playing the game isn't one of the funnest things I've done in years, but I guess the incentive of a large prize at the end is just a little something extra. One of those "now that you all have spent 3 or 4 months of your life playing this game, here's the prize!" things. Who knows. Actually, this brings up another (non-important) question...
What makes us think that the ARG will end with Act Three? The show may very well continue for another season after that (I have no reference whatsoever on how long ABC has the show scheduled to run so far), so mayhaps the ARG will continue well into the next Season, or again during the next season break (the gap bewteen airing of a new season).
So, aside from all that nonsense, how is everyone else's Friday night?
What's with Lostpedia? Anyone know?
It's down here too.
A Lost Exeperience Con sounds cool. Although with us spread over the world I think they'd have to hold it on "The Island".
hehe Yeah, the world-wide nature of the game does make it difficult for everyone to get together in one spot.
However, getting a group of players together at SDCC sounds like a freaking riot. Who else is down for that idea?? (Since Belly is a bum and deems spending time with his fiance more important [just kidding, belly].)
omni: I suspect if this finishes as a big a sucsess as it seems to be right now then I'm sure we will get a part two. But pressumably if Lost has moved on from the Hanso Foundation stuff next season then the ARG will be quiet different.
Maybe it's 3 acts of the first story. The second story begins after that, picking back up at a later date.
Even thought the Valenzetti Foundation page is OOG (so far as we now know), that part looks like it was just about copied from the Lostpedia entry. I read the Lostpedia entry several times when it was up (never thinking to take a copy), and that sounds pretty darn close if it's not a word-for-word copy.
...and yes, I understand that the validity of the information can be questioned regardless of the original source. In either case, I think it's achedemic at this point anyway.
Mochi - TPTB in a press release or interview (don't remember the source) referred to it as a three act play. They also stated from the get-go that this would be a summer game to pass the time (i.e. maintain interest) between seasons.
belly: Arguements, you say? Do tell.
Sorry about that, omniscient!
Thanks Omni - couldn't remember where we had read that, but I knew it was relatively recently.
This is the link on the Timeline (I apologize, because I don't remember where I got it.)
http://watermarkcommunity2.org/files/student_valenzetti.pdf
Now, I don't want to talk about this anymore!
It all get's complex with the fake sites involved and of course the flaws of an information source anyone can write too. Having said that, that is what I've always said about the internet. You can't really trust anything you read on the net.
Hmmm, can you trust anything you don't witness first hand anywhere?
Which is probably why there will always be doubts about everything you see and every "fact" in a paranoia filled ARG like this.
I've suddenly got a feeling I should be less cynical about things in this.
I like that idea. N more talk about dubious links and references for now.
Although I have nothing else interesting to talk about.
I have been planning my own ARG, though. Not for now, but for the future.
I'm in the midst of penning a story for a series of graphc novels, tying to an ARG outside of the comic.
You bet, omni.... how about the sub-species differences of the African and European swallows?
I think we need to convince TPTB to have rachel sneak into THF headquarters by hiding herself in a wooden rabbit.
oo7: *cough cough* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swallow_%28bird%29
....or, for those of you up on the show's running rabbit gag, Scott/Steve (whichever one is still alive) should be decapitated by a vorpal bunny.
I'm hoping that the end of Act 3 somehow flows into the beginning of Season 3. Now, I know there's an issue with 2004/2006, but this being television, TPTB can make 2 years go by since the end of Season 2, and we'd all be on the same page.
SPOILER###################################
I realize the certain Losties would be held prisoner for quite some time, but they can just say they've been held captive that long.
It's just a dream I have that would reconcile the ARG and the show, and have it all make sense timewise. I know it's silly, but, hey, it's only a television show!
LOL... ok, I feel better now. Sometimes, you just need a little Monty.=)
Agreed.
Hurley stops the plane from taking off from Australia, standing to adress the passengers.
Hurley: "On second thought, lets not go to Los Angeles. Tis a silly place."
(Plane empties and show never takes place.)
Maven - I'd love to see it, but I think I'd be a little dissapointed to see the two merge like that. There's so much ***Possible SPOILER (I'll try to keep it vague)***
going on in the finale of Season 2 other than just the captives. What happened to the guys in the hatch? How's everyone else reacting to those who went on the hike? Where do the Others go to? I think skipping 2 years would skip right over a lot of the drama and suspens built up. Just MHO.
shakey, I didn't necessarily mean dumb down... but at least explain things more to those who are not familiar with anything related to the topic. Those familiar with a topic can get used to conversing about it with others who are familiar with it and are working from a common background. When you are speaking to a lot of random people at once, you can't really make those assumptions. The interviewer is an intermediary and it's part of their job. Well, that's been my experience. Of course DJDan is working with a niche market, but at the same time a complete novice could come across it. Radio is so immediate... it's not like print media where you can go back and read over things to try and understand what you didn't catch the first time. But yeah... don't know that DJDan has that attitude, it's just something that crossed my mind. And well... I'm not familiar with Mathematical Forcasting being a common conspiracy theory.
Ok... and with the Dianetics- I'm out for the night... have fun guys.
007surge: I know it doesn't make sense. A lot in TV doesn't. This 2 years discrepency has been bugging me lately, and it's one way of erasing it. We are constantly asked to suspend belief and just go with it. Having 2 years go by with no explanation or changes would be totally ridiculous and upset many of us, but it would take care of the 2004/2006 thing. And, of course, they would never do it.
oo7, I am in agreement. I think it would be a travesty if they just glossed over 2 years like ~that~ (snaps fingers). We haven't spent 2 years covering 2 months to spend the off-season covering 2 years. That said...
SPOILER
With the possible Philidelphia Experiment tie-in... maybe the EMP somehow released the island from it's timewarp-bubble-snowglobe to it's original time. (it was already back in time when the plane crashed)
I have no idea where these ideas come from sometimes. Think I'll go and use my toaster to release the pressure from my head
Wasn't the philadelphia experiment teleportation and not time travel. I saw a documentary a while back on it and interestingly they made a sound when the ship teleported which was based on a description of a supposed eye witness, it was incredibly similar to a certain other sound....
andfound: The bold letters are these:
anremoitaly
so I did. my bad. tired eyes.
I like how the next blog update down from that is "rbmustbesilened".
RB must be silenced... How quaint.
I'm just here lurking, I thought I'd say hi!
Omni's right. That could be easily falsified. But, at the same time, it doesn't have anything particularly interesting yet on it.
*bookmarks, but promptly puts it aside*
fenris, having double-checked things... it was more of a Montauk Project thing than the Philadelphia Experiment, but there is mention of it on on the Phili Ex page
oh yes, must make that tin-foil hat...
I think over at ITE the Cheever blog has been deemed a fansite. Not in-game.
I still don't buy that Dick Cheever site after seeing a screencap of the sourcecode. It's in notepad, easily edited. the links to other site have not traditionally been the first line of the source code. And if the ROT guys are behind it... look at Manny's flickr images... much better photoshoping!
dante: What new pics? We've already harvested any clues from it, like the "green" and "experiences" words.
Thanks, Matt. I thought I remember it involved posts with those usernames have the same IP.
Does anybody have the list of ROT words handy?
passafist: You mean these?
http://richerdeeperbroader.com/welcome/your/next/video/needs/your/experiences/
Yes Thank you much Mochi!
matt: MWA HAA HAA! He's changing his name to post the same thing a bunch of times? That's too funny.
Lavenda - that's intresting, hadn't heard about the Montauk Project. Will have to look into it.
who's changing their name?
sam: Both, apparently, although the last part of the RDB.com clue is likely ot come from the ROT crew.
fenris: Apparently, "and found" is, in order to push his non-canon blog.
matt: If it is later tonight, I won't be here. Going to go see Pirates 2.
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
I haven't been seeing many people on the Lost IRC channel lately. Maybe I'm logging on their at the wrong times.
devondude: Might I suggest downloading it? It /is/ free.
You have far too much time on your hands to be typing that much, Matt.
But I thank you for doing so. It helps to clarify the difference between the two, especially since they're being released simultaneously.
I agree, devondude. And I do greatly appreciate those people who post their AIM conversations. Keep it up and thank you.
belly, what in this game hasn't been strange? ;)
I think we should make the most of the peace while we can. Finally read up on all the Valenzetti stuff :D
No way in hell am I reading through all of that Valenzetti stuff. I barely understand most of it, let alone have the time/patiencen/attention span to do so. Off to Pirates! Have a good night, beasties!
mochi... i meant i had finally got around to reading it, wasn't telling others to (just to be clear)
DSL was just on AIM for a second
Dude is dsl, aim name just his name on the board?
Speak English, samantha.
I think you're asking is DSLerator's name is the same as his AIM screen name.
The answer is yes. Add "DSLerator" to your contacts.
Trip for Pirates was cancelled due to the fact that it was conveniently sold out by the time I got there. Yeehaw. Looks like I'm here for the rest of the night.
Yeah, I get advance passes for everything. *shrugs* Nothing beats free movies.
Also, yeehaw with a period, instead of an exclaimation, is me being sarcastic.
To be honest, Pirates can wait. Hanso first, then pirates.
settern: Yeah, what's up, chief?
I can't stop think about this:
www.richerdeeperbroader.com/welcome/your/next/video/needs/your/experiences/????/
What could it be? And even if I did guess it, what is in there?
I'm checking in now and then. Hello to all.
Settern: Tell Lena that I'll help.
settern: Yeah, go for it.
My email is "mochipotamus@gmail.com".
belly: thanks. maybe that will stop me for now. i wonder if i've already guessed it and it's just not been created as a directory yet?
oxillini: It wouldn't suprise me if that were true. There are far too many possibilities to know right now, though.
settern/lena: I'm grabbing dinner but will be back in 20 minutes. Go ahead and send it.
Hey everyone! Sorry I have been in my batcave most of day...
Heard a few of you are invited and on your way to be PREviewers of our latest discovery...at least I hope it pans out...
BIG SHOUT OUT TO settern who proved to be a GIGANTIC help!!! Seriously...if you ever need a hand with video/graphics for the game...ask her!
I'm on the project as we speak, Lena.
MandrakeWig added me to his flickr account, which doesn't mean a lot, since he has half a dozen others on there as well.
But, meh... WE'RE ON THE CASE!
Dear other Losties reading this,

belly...please email me...NOT HERE!! OK?
my email is in my profile, thanks hon!
THANKS BELLY YOU ROCK!
Interesting.
Seems Rachel is one of the good people.
Yeah, sorry. Wasn't intentional.
We're just researching and don't want to flood the blog with findings that aren't concrete.
We'll share the news, but not until we have something that is absolute.
-signed, a jackass
easy now omiscient LOL
Its just fun! Soon enough...
Belly...you were invited to be able to VIEW and RESEARCH...dont have to post there. It is set to private so thats why we have to formaly invite you, so you can see it.
So wait...has some sort of secret society formed out of a few people that frequent this board? And they are keeping secrets??
We're not keeping secrets.
We're making sure specific findings are factual and relevent before releasing them to the public.
That's all..
But isn't that half the fun? Peoples crazy ideas, and everyone working together to decipher whats real and isn't??
That Bole picture is downright creepy...what the hell are we supposed to take from that...obviously something, the caption orders us to Get a Clue...
Yeah,
Does it not look painfully obvious that almost everything, including Bole's face on that body, and Wig is superimposed???
is that where "experiences" came from?
hello, what are you talking about a tim belly?
Here it is...the work we have been doing!
the results!
PLEASE read everything before making your own conclusion.
Thank you,
team lena, rxhector, and Settern

PLEEEEEETHOOOOOOORAAAAA
Was this convo taken from the RB blog?
Oh, by the gods. I just realized how utterly pathetic it is that I've been sitting at my desk, hardly working, for approximately 17 hours now.
The majority of those hours have been spent tediously puttering along on TLE.
Forget saving Joop, someone save me!
HEHE mochi!
I am still here too...its 4 in the morning...if ya didnt notice...i went live with the video research...and too excited to sleep!
What do ya do for a living?
Jefe: We have many beautiful piñatas for your birthday celebration, each one filled with little surprises!
El Guapo: How many piñatas?
Jefe: Many piñatas, many!
El Guapo: Jefe, would you say I have a plethora of piñatas?
Jefe: A what?
El Guapo: A plethora.
Jefe: Oh yes, El Guapo. You have a plethora.
El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?
Jefe: Why, El Guapo?
El Guapo: Well, you just told me that I had a plethora, and I would just like to know if you know what it means to have a plethora. I would not like to think that someone would tell someone else he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has no idea what it means to have a plethora.
Jefe: El Guapo, I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education, but could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?

Rachel Blake on her blog said:
"But, if it[the Valenzetti Equation] does predict the END OF THE WORLD, and if it does have to be running all the time, what happens when the Valenzetti Equation STOPS?"
Just like the Twilight Zone episode "Patterns"!
The man who must continue to make assorted gestures, counting, and repeating forever to keep the world intact. People think he is crazy, but when he is finally stopped, everything starts falling apart. Planes fall out of the sky and all sense is lost. It starts going into chaos until his psychiatric doctor takes it upon himself to run the numbers and gestures again, restoring order.
It has to be run all of the time and never stop or catastrophy.
Maybe he simply figured out the pattern and wrote it down.
The LOST writers are admitted big fans of The Twilight Zone and have made references to it before.
Something to think about.

Like my new userpic?

Just wish I could remember when I wake up.
Wow.
A lot of people have disappeared in the LOST Experience!
And now Armand Zander is missing!
-Missing So far-
That makes:
Alvar Hanso
Enzo Valenzetti
Armand Zander
Carmen Sandiego
I mean, where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
-The Truth Tempest
So many questions...
Hey guys. I was the fist one to connect the "experience" clue to the pie photo yesterday (I posted the comment under the photo right after I saw it).
Basically, I am begging for a little love. It's the first time I put anything together on my own and I am pretty proud of myself.
Anybody ... group hug ... high five ... anyone?
;^)
ROT updated
it's the "sorrow" clue you guys got two days ago!
I'm sorry, but I still don't understand how these words from the RoT guys were discovered... Could anyone help me?
christy: you rock! ;-)
sophie - thanks. :^)
I think there is a good summary in the comments yesterday about the ROT clues, but basically we got one clue (blood, i think was the first one) and then the awesome people on this board deduced the other ones before the clues were released by linking three colors: red, green, and blue - to words associated with those colors: blood, money, sorrow.
That is probably the worst explanation ever - but the basic jist of it is that the big brains on here figured out the pattern before the clues were released!
i just got the next word in the string, I think. In the new ROT topic:
DSLerator
10:43am You need to get a clue.
iobiSeeingYou
10:44am But from where my love?
DSLerator
10:45am You get it from the waitress! THE END?
you get the check from the waitress. entering it after experiences puts a / at the end. what do y'all think?
(2nd ever post, btw)
So it's now (by my interpretation) "Welcome. Your next video needs your experience(s). Check ..."
Does that seem right to everyone else?
christy, that's about how I was seeing it too.
Sorry, was gone yesterday and just checked my personal e-mail. Got this from theretrieversoftruth.com ...

Dear friends,
I want to thank you all for registering for my newsletter. Things in the world
of Bole and the Retrievers of Truth are very exciting as of late. The RoT is
getting worldwide recognition and I will be appearing on several television
shows in Korea and Australia in the very near future.
The other day I was walking along the river, Bien Ecouter, near a friend's home
in Switzerland. I was contemplating the nature of things and eating a
buttercream torte when a yellow lab came out of nowhere and blocked my path. I
stood motionless for what seemed like an eternity stunned by this intrusion all
the while wondering what the creature's intentions were.
The yellow lab is a highly evolved creature, as I have stated on my website and
in my many books. When they venture into our personal space it is usually for a
reason and at this moment I could not fathom what this particular stranger
wanted of me? Had he heard of me from other retrievers? Did he sense my
willingness to communicate? Was this all just a coincidence?
After a few seconds our eyes locked and we communicated. He stated his name was
"Wand Prowess." He then stated that I should remember his name, "not as it is
but as it can be." Then he began what seemed like a poem, "In the Pacific I'm in
the ocean bare, when I'm up north I'm the sea bear." I tried to question both
statements but he just looked at me, turned and as he was about to walk away he
said, "I'll leave you with two things to ponder" and he then turned and ran off.
These are they:
Maslow's hierarchy
Keep who's eye on the prize?
I only tell you these tales of my journeys to entertain. But I do hope these
incidents in my life will inspire you to look more deeply into your own.
Yours truly, Dr. Vincent "Wally" Bole
PS: Consuming a diet high in fiber can be beneficial to the BLOOD.
