Okay guys...If you didn't know, I've been gone since Thursday. I've been reading comments like crazy but I'm having some trouble putting things together. Here's what I've got:

1. Massive dissention on what was actually communicated by Rachel's last video. Questions about her well-being, the identity of GG, the reality of Hugh's death, the voice at the door, etc abound and there are NO SOLID ANSWERS at this point. Just lots of really good speculation.

2. Mittlewerk's video should be taken largely as Verizon marketing and it's doubtful that it holds much along the lines of clues (beside the fact that he "looks" younger).

3. Retrievers of Truth are acting strangely again...possibly busy at crafting a really elaborate way to help us find another video or document.

Is that basically it? What else am I missing?

superdifey...I was just joking around! Hope you know that. You're FIRST in my book!

Guys, here's how I think TPTB operate: ARG planners decide the plot, the types of clues they create (videos, pics, documents, etc), the order they will be disseminated, and which commercial partners will host what. ARG planners are ALWAYS responsible for the END CONTENT and the TIME TABLE but they leave space for commercial partners like Sprite, Verizon, Jeep, and Monster to work out the PATHWAYS for discovering the important END CONTENT.

All that to say...I take most of the RoT stuff as a pathway meant to occupy our time and attention with Verizon-ish things. Not to spoil anybody's fun, but I don't think we need to read too much into every detail of what they say and do because history tells us that when it's time for us to get a clue, TPTB will give it to us like what they did with the SPIDER PROTOCOL letter.

I guess I'm more of the type of person who likes to step back and try to understand the bigger picture and this latest Rachel video has made everything a little blurry for me. I find the RoT stuff to be a distraction rather than a fun new endeavor...I guess that just shows how little my mind can handle at one time! Or maybe it's just a testimony to how valuable it is to have different personality types working on this thing together.

I'm going to keep dwelling on some big picture plot stuff.

kenshinfan65...that was exactly what I did. I was frustrated in the beginning of this show because it seemed many people got the clues before the rest of the world knew there was a clue. I got irritated that it took computer genuiouses to figure some things out and with so many "spoof" sites out there, I wasn't sure if I found a clue or found a hoax. Turns out it was always hoax for me, but thesse last few weeks I have been able to play a long better and it seems so slow now. I would like it to go back to when I was the dummy and playing catch up!

Good one noblelawyer. :)
Hey, I'll be back in New Orleans next Tuesday through Saturday!

Just had a "captain obvious" moment regarding the Helgus Antonius. Sorry if it's been mentioned before/is totally off the subject. It is a massive boat full of train-car-sized crates. If they are onto the exact date of Armageddon via Valenzetti calculations and are heading to an island with unique properties that will help them survive the fallout and re-develop humanity eugenics style, won't they need a butt-load of supplies to last them for years?

Helgus is simply full of everything from clothes and food to construction equipment, building materials, vehicles, computer systems, libraries, etc. Everything necessary to build, maintain, and proliferate a new society on a relatively undeveloped island. It's not the high-tech Paik boat we heard about early on, it's just a delivery boat.

crossfade & oxillini, GOOD WORK! Sounds very possible. Help me put the pieces together...
What does this have to do with Valenzetti and the various interests of the Dharma Initiative? If the island is a fusion R&D plant and isn't a haven from Armageddon or at least a preparation/research facility for a eugenics-ish repopulation plan, where do Valenzetti & Dharma fit in the picture?

admin: well, the island will need power correct? i feel thf and dharma are working towards this "better tomorrow" on every scientific angle they can. not only create a race of "chosen ones" to survive armageddon, but give them the tools to start with advanced technology rather than stepping back to life in caves with campfires and rocks as tools. give them the most advanced medicine available, provide them with endless, clean power, give them a sophisticated ocean-going vessel to venture off the island when nuclear winter comes to an end.

7/17/2006 03:55:00 PM  
Blogger NobleLawyer said...

the question is still how do they get the containers off the ship. I do not think they are going to an undeveloped island. The ship shown did not have any cranes. It is dependent on docks to unload it. Are they just going to push the containers off?

I think they are going to a different port and then will transport their container or containers by truck or train to wherever they need them.

lost, I think AIM for the stars may be referencing Aol Instant Messenger and this time we may be chatting with Rachel herself instead of the RoT posters. I got an email this morning telling me that OpenersHep was signed on for a few minutes.

Blogger The Penuels said...

oxillini, okay...that makes good sense. You're right. THF isn't just trying to survive nuclear winter, they are attempting to THRIVE in the wake of it. So they're holding the secret of fusion until after armageddon b/c they believe Valenzetti's predictions are inevitable? Wouldn't you think that the introduction of fusion into the equation might change some of his calculations? Wouldn't it be ironic if fusion technology is leaked and ends up being what causes the Valenzetti event?

noblelawyer, maybe there is more than one island. I believe this to be a possibility...that the Others "live" on a different island and only come to the Lostie island for certain purposes.

Blogger Lost in Portugal said...

Another thing that has been bogging my mind lately is why we never actually saw any THF stuff on the island (apart from the reference to THF in the Orientation video). If they are bringing supplies to the island, why aren't any Hanso logos on it? I mean, who is making those supply drops? Hanso or Dharma? Who hired Kelvin if THF says that Dharma Iniative was cancelled in 1987?

7/17/2006 04:05:00 PM  
Blogger The Penuels said...

lost,
correction: only Hugh McIntyre says that Dharma Initiative was cancelled in 1987. From the SPIDER PROTOCOL memo, apparently Mittlewerk too thinks (or wants those he was writing to think that he thinks) that the D.I. was also cancelled.

*************************** spoiler ***************************

I think the Dharma Iniative might be working on his own now. Maybe Dharma is run by the Others now. They have their own supplies and do not report to THF anymore. Or maybe they were abandoned on the island by the THF, who knows!

Anyway, I think Mittelwerk doesn't know exactly what is going on the island... Maybe he's going to find the losties drinking mojitos with the Others.

the ARG is, in general, supposed to add background to the show, and not really plot lines. The background we're receiving is pretty relevant to anyone who's seen the first few episodes of Season 2, and by most accounts the UK and AU are nearly finished with season 2. It's all good.

TLE is seperate from the game, Yes, playing can enhance watching the show, but is not necessary.

example of how TLE enhances show enjoyment is fact that in game we learned about Widmore, and in show learned about Penelope Widmore and her father and their ties to Desmond and therefore the island. But didn't need to be playing game to enjoy that part of show.

Ok, I signed up for AIM, just in case. Is anyone around that's familiar with it? Do I really just type "openershep" or "mandrake wig" into my buddy list and it's that easy?

Good thoughts linklane. Though I would be suspect of anything BBB shared since he's cleaned out his desk at Verizon. I've added them all just in case. If nothing else, TLEC has certainly expanded my computer prowess.

A couple of thoughts on the new RoT newsletter: Manny mentions a "flowering." The Holy Flower? (Holyflower, theholyflower, lotus, and lotusflower do not work as PW.)Also, "Aim for the stars" might refer to constellations. Do we know anything about constellations and the destination of Mittelwerk's boat?

Yeah, I know it's lame but I'm trying. ;)

Great article Scott...thanks for posting. Since there hasn't been anything at all, I too have been obsessing over tiny things. I actually use AOL, really, and I have checked the profiles of all of the Verizon guys as well as some suspect key names. When ROT first sent AIMs they all had black backgrounds and an icon of a little girl in their profiles. Now the girl is gone and fiberoptician/BBB/Persephone do not have a black background anymore...they are now blue. All other ROTs have black. Also, username mandrakewig and openershep have a black background with an AIM advert as their icon (real or not?). I don't know what this means if anything at all...but maybe fiber is joining ranks with BBB...we'll see soon enough I guess.
Mostly I am just bored, waiting, and obsessing a little:)

The pass for RoT is Inkituit, or whatever. It's the official language of the province of Labrador. The string of code, in some coding language, maybe PHP, translates to that, I guess. It just works for me. you could just go to http://retrieversoftruth.com/facts.aspx

Going off topic to the EW article.... Does anyone think that the real world happenings will occur at COMIC-CON? Suppsoedly Damon and Carlton will be making a statement while there against the Hanso Foundation. Maybe they will confirm that the DHARMA Initiative is still active? What do you guys think?
