Lag Alleviation Part 2






We saw a commercial featuring Thomas Mittlewerk last night, he was encouraging us to have "spirited debate" about The Hanso Foundation. We also know that Hanso Exposed was updated late last night, but we still have no user id or password.

Keep the discussions from the previous post coming...

I agree that TM looked younger, but I think his ponytail just didn't have a chance to shine ;-) He didn't move around enough for it to swing out...

Wonder if Mittlewerk looked younger because of all that fresh blood he got... think he might have been into the hair dye too

evil^^:

something I don't understand. It's a HANSO FONDATION Ad so why would they give us a login/password for a website where we probably will discuss on them beeing evil etc?

My theory on this is that hansoexposed could be one of those corporate sites that supposedly encourages open debate and has the appearance of transparency, but really is just PR. Sort of like when a cigarette company has a web site about quitting or preventing smoking. It's all for appearances.

by the way, check again Kyle. Puffykins isn't really "Puffykins" anymore.

I'm sure it's probably some sort of accelerated clone or something.

this is how we have all the "bad twins" and a 105 year old Orangutan.

They continuously clone these creatures, so they can experiment on basically the "same subject" with many different things. Cures, diseases, etc.

To quote CeeLo from Gnarls Barkley: "just a thought".

lhorse: Exactly. On the surface it encourages "spitied debate" but, like chucklez3 said, they would rather have the debate on their turf so it can be monitored and controlled on their terms.

Of course this could all go out the window when we see what the site really is, but that's just one explanation for why Hanso could be sponsoring the hansoexposed site.

I wonder if the people of TLEC have had some secret information (besides the phonecall), for instant that the 'Hanso Exposed' site is true. It would be a smart thing to do from TPTB because if the moderators (is that the right term?) of TLEC have info, they can tell us if something is true or not :)

Annabeth - I can tell you that we get no insider information what so ever. The phone call was added to the previous post as a joke, because we have mainly fake phone calls on the podcast, some are real. We are playing the game just like you. There is nothing we get that is inside info. we email speaker and get replies just like everyone else. I hope that clears things up.

Hi all... Just wanted to add my 2 cents...
People have commented that it's not likely that we would get a password to a site that would be anti-Hanso from a Hanso commercial, but just a thought...

Hasn't Rachel appropriated other things as PWs before? allveggie, falsedegree, etc. It wouldn't be so far fetched that she saw the commercial and thought that spirited debate would be a good thing to use as a PW...

7/13/2006 08:40:00 AM  
Blogger David said...

We are also assuming hansoexposed refers to the "revealing the guilt or wrongdoing" definition of exposed. That word can also be defined as "to make visible." Perhaps THF is creating that site in an attempt to demonstrate their openness and transparency. Or at least supply us with that illusion.

7/13/2006 08:43:00 AM

Oxillini is right, and all that could be possible if she has at least watched the commercial. What we don't know yet, and if she will, she will watch through the Internet since she is way to Paris.

This is probably nothing but could someone with better eyes than mine take a look at the Hanso Foundation logo at the end of the commercial?

I saw something below it last night when it first aired and again on YouTube. It could be meant as a reflection of the word "Foundation" but my vision shows me a blur.

Thanks!

7/13/2006 08:55:00 AM

Looks like reflection to me, just as you said, barbarajay.

Also, we think falsedegree may be a reference to Mittelverk never having gotten a degree from Cal Tech. Refer to clue #29 on our site, experimentalfilm.

With hansoexposed.com getting updated per the monitor site: I still get the login box. Perhaps they were making it more secure because it's not supposed to be accessed yet and they were getting nervous about us getting in there.

I think the u/n and p/w has to be rblake and something related to Mittelwerk...if Rachel is still with us...

If Mittelwerk is supposedly on the Helgus Antonius going whereever...when was this commercial filmed? (In real life probably a long time ago.) But in this game...he talk about discussion so much, it seems to me that it has to be pretty recently because there has been so much doubt, badmouthing of THF, and pretty good theories out there. I think THF is getting nervous that some of our ideas might be getting pretty close to what is going on and this "PR" move is trying to throw us off.

After gathering all the information posted in the last comments thread and taking some time to process it, I have come to the conclusion that the persephone@thehansofoundation.org email we received is fake...and techinally saavy hoax that wasn't executed to perfection.

I'll let you know if anything else comes of it but for now I'm not going to worry myself much more about it.

If you're curious, you can search through (ctrl F) the comments thread on the last post. Basically we received a real-looking email from someone claiming to be Persephone. It turned out to be somebody working really hard to mess with us.

I think we'll see the RoT guys (aka Verizon guys) again ... we seem to rotate through corporate sites to keep THF confused about where to find Rachel's latest intel (am ignoring the commericial reasons for purposes of enjoying the game).

But cancer-curing and life-extending ... is THF really all that bad? (Totally ignoring the fact that THF sends goons to young women's hotel rooms to search through their stuff.)

We'd better brush off our game hats ... Rachel's probably going to ask for help solving the code GidgetGirl alluded to in yesterday's phone call.

jack, i had a similar thought. the u/n and p/w could be for tptb to go in and make changes to the site without worrying about us getting in.

and rb's site asked you for your date of birth before you got in.

I am sure that he is Christine#2, ti would be unusual for any actor on t.v. not to wear make-up. I am sure that "Dr. Z" is wearing make-up in the Chrysler commercials too

7/13/2006 10:48:00 AM  
Blogger Ange said...

I agree christine2-everyone was commenting about him looking "younger" in the commercial. I think it's just good make-up and lighting. Seriously, we've all seen those starts w/o their make-up pictures before...yikes. I think it's the same theory here...make-up + lighting=TM looks better.

I think TWM still had his ponytail, or at least that there was on way in the commercial to tell whether he did or did not have it since he didn't turn his head much or show his back. I have known a couple of guys who had long ponytails but from the front looked like they had regular haircuts. was kind of shocking when they turned around and then you could see a long ponytail down their back

omniscient/noble-I agree about the pony tail too! I didn't even know he had one until Rachel's video, and his picture was up on THF site the whole time. I think it was just laying straight down his back.

Christine#2 - I wonder how much Mittlewerk would pay a make-up person, I bet he wears it all the time like Ryan Seacrest. Cha-ching!

7/13/2006 10:51:00 AM

yes, he still has his ponytail. look at the way his hair is parted on his head, and then looks tied back. He is still sporting it!

7/13/2006 10:52:00 AM

this was mittelwerks first appearance on national television. im sure he did whatever he can to make himself look better.

and they probably hid the ponytail in the commercial so people outside the game wouldnt start thinking "whos the freak with the ponytail?"

Dazzedelf- I'm wondering if anyone else thinks that ROT may have served their purpose...and maybe now are switching over to their Mandrake Wig creation to communicate. People are still getting messages from him through MySpace. If I were the ROT guys, I would be nervous about the wrath of the players after the whole SPIDER protocol memo, useless week of word finding only to have the like GIVEN to us fiasco. Also, none of them have been on AIM and the pictures that they all had in their profiles is gone.

Last stuff I saw on "hansoexposed" dir was really interesting. All password protected, but lots of files like flash animations and php pages..
On the "heretimircms" subdomain (heretimircms.hansoexposed.com) they were testing some sort of "flash video player"; later they moved (or deleted, IDK) the files.

I forget who, but someone suggested that the final the ms following heretic could be a myspace...I searched and found myspace.com/beelzebuba--It's an empty myspace so I thought it could turn something up, or maybe beelzebuba itself could be used for a clue later on...

My first post in the comments. Joy! I'm bigger on the Frappr map but people don't go on that very often. You know it's an old theory that Rachel is Hanso's daughter but what if she's Mittelwerk's daugther? Of maybe even Hugh's daughter! And now she has a grudge against him for having a girl on the side!

christine, yeah Lost is restarting on October 4th then in February, it's taking a 3 month break in which 6 degrees will be on wednesdays at nine o clock. I really want to watch it! It's about how although they don't know each other, they do little things that snowball to cause bigger things. Imagining an example, one person is sick, has a mug of coffee, sips it, sets it down, leaves. Next person comes in, is thirsty, takes a sip of the coffee, get sick, misses work and at work the place burns down. So the first person, unknowingly saved the second. That's how I think it'll go down like.
