Clue #140 - WhereisAlvar.com Update/Rachel Blake & DJ Dan Info
Everyone that registered on WhereisAlvar.com received the following email today from Rachel: "OKAY, EVERYBODY. THIS IS IT. YOU'VE FOUND OVER 1000 APOLLO BARS. I KNOW NOW THAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING...GO TO WWW.WHEREISALVAR.COM." When you visit whereisalvar.com, you see a message from Rachel telling us to make sure we are part of DJ Dan's podcast on September 24th at 8 PM PST. DJ Dan has also updated his podcast page, hinting that Rachel Blake will be a special guest.Thanks to Allyson, Donn, Twinkle, Howard, Jetamo, makomk, Chelsea, Joanne, and AmbientBlu for emailing us about this update!

WOW!! What does a Golden Oracle get you? It must be like being on the leader board on HE.com...
Top 5? I agree Thrasher. Totally pointless.
Ok but you didn't have to be registered with WIA.com to get the email. I got it. I never registered with WIA. I was chasing clips all over the web on HE but not WIA.
ten?
Good Morning Everyone!
Good morning all. Nice to see that Rachel exists outside of the world of binary and hex.
Looks like the pics. that spell Unite on WIA change as the white squares progress down the page...possibly anyone who posted a pic., not just oracles, will get a chance to be part of the Unite (wooptie-doo). Also though, an early start to activity, I am HOPING for more today...
Morning! WOW...major letdown, huh? As usual, nothing new! LOL As usual, big buildup to nothing we already didn't know. I am soooo disappointed in TPTB and they way they are handling the final days of this game.
BTW: Glad to see most of us who were at Santa Monica/Acura giveaway Saturday nite got our pics posted on WIA! At least we "helped" Rachel! Yeah, right! (note the sarcastic tone)
So the posting of pictures with Apollo bars is over yet the give aways have not ended. So much for going to SF to get mine!
Scott - DANG! It was my life's ambition to get on the Unite mosaic on WIA!!! CURSE YOU GOLDEN ORACLES!!!
raphael-WIA now has 8PM...typo..surprised?!
Joann: :( You're right! What's the point? Another instance of poor planning by TPTB!
Hey, I got an email from Rachel. Something about Ovaltine.
I got my e-mail from Rachel. It looks like everyone was busy posting pics to WIA over the weekend, although they did not get posted until this morning. I am glad I got my pic in. (the real pic with me actually in it.)
GOOD MORNING TLEC!!!
Wow, such big news...Yeah right!!!
Well, if anyone cares, my WIA.com pic is up on page 1 if ya guys want to put a face to my name... The Santa Monica event was awesome and the chocolate is very, very, good...MMMMMMM
So, we get to hear Rachel instead of see her in Narvik with ironman and Alvar? Never did get my pic up on WIA and still waiting for my leaderboard prize:)
Poor planning by TPTB = We go running to the TV show in mass droves looking for something exciting?
Are they trying to drive up premiere ratings by driving us insane with anticlimactic-ness?
/tinfoil hat
Hi Guys
Well some movement at last even if it is another anti-climax - all that chocolate just to tell us something we didn't know (or just to infect all of you that have eaten yours - ha ha ha)
It seems like the 7am /8 am thing was a typo but saying that 8pm isn't too great for us Brits. I'm certainly not going to be up in the early hours of the morning to listen to Rachel/Alvar on DJ Dan.
This is INSANE! We spend weeks and weeks getting the dang candy bars, because we were promised something BIG when we had enough and all we get is "Listen to DJ Dan"? We were all going to do that anyway!!!!
Yes you can still upload and look at people's pics if you click on continue.
Yes, the message or big reveal, and the whole point of WIA is anti-climatic.
DJ dan should not have posted his podcast time before RB announced it. Then RB's message might have caused some excitement, but this just tells us what we already knew and were planning on doing anyway. I thought there would be another video or some news of her meeting with Malik.
We still do not know if she ever met him .
Actually Ryan you are on page 2 now. What a looker you are!
My photo is on page 5.
I am not going to complain about the bar hunts though. It gave alot of us an opportunity to meet one another and get a face to put with the name.
Nice Pics on WIA guys - always intersting to see what you guys really look like :)
GEEZ! I just got my email and you all are on here already...will I ever be in the top 10 to know anything????
Here is to the 24th!
Hi Kenaris
I know but we can still hope - It's the reason people by lottery tickets - you know realistically theres no hope of getting a big payout but there's just that little spark of hope....
Maybe we'll get Fenry, Marvin Candle and the Smokemonster on DJ Dan....
Oh... I see it now...click continue to upload pictures and see everyone... thanks
This ARG has just gotten more and more lame as it's gone on. And yet, I can't stop checking in, because SURELY if they have felt the need to drag it out this long, then there really will be something big at the end? Really? Honest? Please?
Since we're touting our pics: I finally got on. Page 5 in the pink t-shirt!
I'm with you Anne. It's too much to believe. Having everyone go to events around the world just to find out something that had already been posted on another site? The game has been boring and tedious at times, but so far this has been completely pointless (though, I did really enjoy meeting fellow Dallas lost fans). I just can't believe this is all WIA has in store for us.
Great pic, Ryandrumz: TLEC RULES! LOL. Also: Great pic, noblelawyer!
Maybe TPTB are really clever - Lost is going to seem so good compared to the TLE, even a small reveal will get us excited...
Oh and like the T-shirt Maven
Nice pictures, everyone!
Holding down the tab key gives kind of a cool effect on WIA Unite
So does this mean that we have to wait a week for anything new?
Rorschach said
But are they really gonna leave us hanging for a whole week with nothing to do? I know I've already lost most of my enthusiasm for this game, and another slow week definitely won't help.
Aren't we all meant to be watching our Season 2 DVDs?
Noble said: "DJ dan should not have posted his podcast time before RB announced it."
This is true. Or perhaps it's similar to the situation where the UK gamers told the UK TPTB at the real life clue-hunt that we were finding the clues LONG before they were released on the HE site....and they were surprised! Could TPTB still "misunderestimate" us so much that they think we didn't know about the DJ Dan date before RB told us on the WIA today? Or did they really just throw us a partially eaten rotten old bone and expect us to eat it with our tails a-wagging?!
And while we are ever-so-patiently waiting for RB's big reveal on WIA, couldn't TPTB tell us what is in the Apollo bars (virus, cure, nanobots, or what?!) why HF, TWM, or whomever wanted them distributed, who is this Benson guy, why he broke off with TWM exactly, blah, blah, blah.
IMNSHO, they could be revealing a lot more right now while we are waiting for the WIA payoff. :-(
Thanks Noble...I saw yours as well. What is that pic you use for your avatar. Is it some famous painting or somethin?
Well said, capcom!
How could they release the DJ Dan info before Rachel's "big reveal" on WIA? DUMB and DUMBER!
I guess I expected something big, a video, because of what Rachel herself said on whereisalvar...
"only when enough of the world is watching, only then will i give further instructions. you won't want to miss what i've got to show you."
i know she broke her camera when she was tackled in sri lanka, but it's certainly possible to pick up a new one at a reasonable price in columbo or new delhi or nyc or oslo duty free.
or use the glasses-cam and send us a message...i'm with malik and we're in oslo, i hope this meeting works out, be in touch soon.
Sorry to be so negative this morning, I am just so surprised at this.
Thanks all for the compliments on my T-shirt! My hubby thought I was crazy! LOL
"Who's the bigger fool, the fool or the fool who follows him"
Ok I've probably misquoted that but it seems somewhat appropriate for our relationship with TPTB :P
Touche, Babarjay, we've been "Ralphied" with the Ovaltine message! :-)
I love the fact that this game has turned into a great big brainwashing where our whole community just does what their told. Much like Lost itself, it has gone around in circles and still has answered nothing. I sure do hope that something gets resolved here on the Podcast, and that there is a nice little tie in to the show for all of us that have played this all summer. If not, this will just be one big commercial venture where sponsors now have, well at least something like 40,000 emails from Hansoexposed, and god knows how much more information to continue their corporate shilling. I say good on them.
So what's this Ovaltine email?
I think we have to use an element of suspension of disbelief, otherwise it would be all to easy for TVW to send his Goons (or trained Orangutangs) around to put some pressure on Radio Harvest
Fasten, you made me think of a time-line issue. When RB said "you won't want to miss what I've got to show you", and if it turns out to be that she found out where Hanso is, how did she know that she would know where Hanso is, before Malik got in touch with her and set up the meeting last week? (assuming that's what is about to happen) That's why I thought that there would be more to reveal about other topics (candy, nanites, etc.) at the completion of WIA, because how did she know where he was before she knew where he was?
Sorry if I am just being dense, or if I am forgetting the sequence of the information timeline.
Capcom, love the new TLEism.....we've been "Ralphied"! LOL
Dark Angel; watch the movie "The Christmas Story". Ralphie gets an Orphan Annie decoder ring in the mail and eagerly deciphers the clue after the Annie radio show expecting it to be some big giant message, and it says:
"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"
Needless to say, Ralphie's dejected. :-)
N.I.K., you said it better than I, I'd forgotten what Ralphie said! :-)
Thanks guys, funny thing is I quite fancy a mug of Ovaltine now...
Do you all think this will be all we'll get this week? how disappointing...........
Dark Angel; try a bit of Ovaltine in your coffee too, it makes it kind of mocha-ish.
Capcom,
Coffee and Ovaltine - I'll be trying that tonight mmmmnn
Maybe, just maybe there is more - are we just missing something or am I just too much of an optimist
:S - DA unsure of mood
PS I think my word verification just answered me - it was ZKYSOW ie Sky Sow - ie Flying Pig - that sounds about right!
I kind of feel like one of Pavlov's dogs! I've been conditioned to salvilate at certain stimuli! LOL Unfortunately, TPTB have taken away anything of substance to chew on!
What a bummer this game has turned out to be. Remember the good ole days when colduphere created the 12 step program to break our TLE addiction? No need for that now- TPTB have seen to that! I still haven't received an Apollo bar, and I was designated one about 3 weeks ago...so while it may not seem to be a big deal to have your pic on WIA- at least it's more than some of us have got. PLEASE TPTB put us out of our misery and just start Season 3 already.
I wouldn't worry Superdiffy the big reveals don't seem to be too big nowadays...
"Hey Jonny who have we got here"
"It's Alvaaar Hanso"
"And what have you got for us Alvar"
"Vell I've spoken to Rachel and she has convinced me too shave off
my beard - that iz vat me and Thomas vere arguing over for all thoze years now we can be friends again"
"Well there you have it folks...."
guys, I'm off to have surgery. nothing serious, just a little cancer
now, that's a reveal!!!!!
I hope this week gets better for all of us. I don't want to come back in a few days and find this wonderful community fallen apart.
Wow, tlcm! Best of luck to you. Our thoughts are with you.
Don't worry...we may bitch and moan...but we'll all hang around to the bitter end!

Definitely been breaking the addiction for a while now..
I guess all that's left for us now is to listen to Harvest Radio and hope for another live rehearsal flub.
Ban DJ Dan...LOL. That would be so funny if we all tuned out...I agree, HE.com and WIA.com were a big waste of time. Throw me a freakin bone here...
Capcom-Ovaltine in Coffee, that's sounds so good. Thanks for that idea!!!
Hey TLCM
Good Luck, our wishes are with you - we'll look forward to seeing you back her fit and well soon.
We'll still be here what ever happens with TLE.
PeaceAndNamaste said... like Locke said "..like a rat in a maze with no cheese."
We certainly need some cheese in here...with all the whining that is going on...
WIA.com might not be simply to tell us about DJ DAN, it might have another reason that Rachel hasn't told us yet.
It does seem a lot of effort for nothing.
Do you think TPTB - or at least a lowly minion of theirs , ever see the content of this blog?
Hey, no problem,if you can't whine amongst friends where can you whine ;)
TLCM- sorry to hear your news. Take care, we will look forward to hearing from you when you're back home!
Hmmm....boycott DJDan- now there's something interesting to do. It's amazing how much momentum this game has lost.
Ular98- there is no Ovaltine- everyone's just comparing TLE to what happens in the movie The Christmas Story.
alone somewhere where we dont have to listen to it?
boycott DjDan if you all so wish, i'll just be every caller on the show:p muhahhahaha lol
It seems a important thread of this story has been cut off. It's been dropped like a hot potato! All the focus right now is on WIA, Rachel and Malik setting up a meet with a HIM (whoever could THAT be? hahahaha) and the DJ Dan podcast....whatever happened to what we supposedly learned from the video? We learned what Mittelwerk and his gang are up to, yet nothing is being done about it! One of Rachel's original goals was to expose THF! Great, now what? Rachel certainly isn't continuing that part of her agenda!
Picsel- that would be ok- then you could just inform us of what you learned and we could enjoy our Sunday evening. LOL (Afterall- the Amazing Race has started up again)
Agreed Maven- there are so many unanswered questions and loose ends in this story that I'm beginning to wonder if they will really be answered or solved. Why introduce all this info if it leads to nowhere? And yes, all this hurry up and wait- is Rachel trying to save the world or not?
Agreed Scoutpost - there certainly doesn't seem to be a sense of urgency to saving the world, does there? BTW - email me about what happened to the chocolate, I assumed the beachgrrl bars had gone out a long time ago.
If any of you guys were signed up for Apollo trade and DONT want a bar now that...well...now that nothing really happened at all, email me and let me know. As far as I'm concerned, it was always more about sharing throughout the community, so I'm gonna keep sending out bars.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
Yes, Scoutpost! If you check out the unanswered questions section of the TLEC forum, there are soooo many loose threads...like bridges to nowhere! It seems TPTB just open up a can of worms and go on to something else. I sure hope there will be some resolution to some of these issues. (sorry for all the cliches!)
(check your email, scoutpost)
What if we all just called DJ Dan and just Said Shutdown and cut him off - imagine caller after caller.... now that would be funny
can i get a bar if im in the UK?
I just sent this to RB's blog:
----------------------------------
Rachel,
You have led us to believe that time is of the essense in stopping Mittlewerk and his cronies, their unethical experimentations and projects, and their evil plans for the world to achieve their own megalomanical goals. We have dutifully done everything that you have asked us to do, and more. And we have trusted you, as you have put your trust in us asking us for our help in your cause.
After all our efforts these past few months in helping you, our question is this: if as every hour goes by, Mittlewerk is carrying out his horrific medical plans and experimentation, why are you taking so long to give us the information that we need to stop him? If he is right now experimenting on "innocent human beings", as stated in the Sri Lanka video, why have we not been told where he is after the Sri Lanka meeting and what we can do to stop him from doing these experiments on the unsuspecting islanders?
We feel very helpless just sitting here, thinking about how Mittlewerk is killing people as we wait for your podcast with DJ Dan A WEEK FROM NOW. Somehow it doesn't seem that your initial sense of urgency is as truthful as we were led to believe.
You have said that you can't pull this off without us. Let us know what is going on NOW. You can trust us, we've proven that....don't lose our trust and faith in you now at this point of your mission.
---------------------------------
Maybe RB/TPTB will respond.....with some action! Or not. :-(
TLCM; Good luck and God's blessings in your surgery! I did that in 2004, and am still recovering. Keep positive no matter what they put you through to get better, it's the only way. We'll be here for you when you return. XO
It seems weird to me if THF have now been exposed that authorities have not got involved in the planned global massacre, im sure one person in the authorities would have followed it trying to make sure even if it was a legal team following from the whole hyperion book thing from Act1, i know you could just say island way well its for a TV show with a black smoke monster running round an unfindable island but ARG's are meant to be realistic so surely somehting should be happening now, this could be a huge climactic tense time in the game but no.
Well done, capcom! My thoughts exactly! Hope Rachel gets the message (don't hold your breath!)
Time to go guys - see you soon
Chris
why make it ll for PST last time us europeans got messed around, cant we have a time when WE gt something from the TPTB? surely because i cant wake up extra early ona school day i wont have a chance during school but i wont be able to listen to it afterwards surely we could have a time suitabl for us for once?
Okay...after all the complaining, and the, "What the heck," feelings, I have been thinking...maybe there is something at WIA that we are missing. The Unite thing is all fine and good, and the changing oracle pics. may just be another player shout-out, but maybe, just maybe, there is more to it. The Polyanna in me is still hoping that we will get a BIG reveal today, and get our further instructions from Rachel.
Ange: I'm turning blue from holding my breath!
on a side note, looking at pics on WIA.com and everyone's avatars I have come to the conclusion that losties are definitely CAT people.
Very astute observation, missmegs! MEOW
*Mental note REMIND Maven to breathe and have the oxygen on stand-by!
Ange: LOL! I decided to breath since nothing's going to happen until Sunday (if at all)!
TLCM - Stay strong..
Well, I still haven't received my note from Rachel directing me to whereisalvar, so perhaps there may possibly be something else coming once everyone gets their email? please, pretty please, a little something....
would they really put an entire week of dead air between communications from rachel? even longer really, since the last coded message was on Sept 14.
and once rachel tells us who she is on dj dan's show on Sept. 24, is that it? the end?
YAH TO ALLYSON! She is now an official truth seeker for TLEC! LOL
Ok, the big 'surprise' is DJDAN? HEH?
Well that really makes me rethink RB.
my djdan research update
Now there is an error that was brought to my attention in the comments too. P Thompsons stuff was NOT in the owelles folder, but rather DJDAN stuff, which just solidifies my theory. :)
Lena,
What ever happend to the DJ Lena podcast?
Its still happening soon Dennis!
Belly! SO SORRY TO HEAR YA SICK!
Okay, I just took some convincing to believe this wasn't some hackers joke.
So the conclusion to WIA and Act4 itself is.....is......er..... A pretty picture? Actually not even that because that pic isn't really that impressive anyway and there are way too many repeated pictures. Okay so what else....um......oh yeah Rachel is gonna give us a big reveal on the live DJ Dan show....hmmmm.
Okay, so hands up anyone that wasn't assuming that was going to happen anyway?
(counts hand)
Okay, so aside from you then (I won't name names), this is another piece of text, like the previous codebreaking bits that just tell us something we already knew/figured and only exists to marginally push forward this snails pace dragging plot line.
Sigh.
Okay well I suggest you all join in with the WIA parody and show TPTB that ever a lazy ARG player can come up with something more amusing then WIA.
Where is Manny?
p.s. The DJ Dan podcast better not be the end of this ARG. It better be there to launch the spectacular Act 5. Otherwise...there will be TROUBLE. Okay. Just saying, because I have in my possion an actual Illudium PU-36 Space Modulator and I'm not afraid to use it!
well isnt this shit, find out my girlfriend has kissed/cheated on me at a party on our "2month" w/e, havnt been this depressed in a while, then i find out TPTB have made it so that i cant listen to the podcast so tell you what all i need to do now is walk outside and get crapped on by a bird, mugged then ravaged by wolves, any offers on the mugging?
Btw, apparently today is national talk-like-a-pirate day in the UK. So beware ye land lubbers!
Fenris,
Actually, September 19th is the official International Talk Like A Pirate Day
You can check it out here: http://www.talklikeapirate.com/
Aye! Do it smartly Matey, or I'll have ya keel hauled!
Fenris, I truly hope I'm wrong, but I suspect we are already in Act 5.
Better start shining up the Illudium PU-36 Space Modulator.
LOL, fenris. Your site is hilarious. I would like to offer to set up BlingTrade, where people can send me their $10 after they've gotten a picture with it, and I will distribute it amongst myself.
Howard, if RB gets married and doesn't invite us, after all we've been to her, I am SO not speaking to her anymore! And I hope that she flies to her honeymoon on the HansoAir Artificial Intelligence Piloting System jet and gets LOST!
Howard - that might be the most genius theory to date. And Capcom, I'm with you. Here's to Rachel being on flight 815!
Hi guys...I'm thinking TPTB may possibly read Rachel's blog, I just posted a note to Rachel on stophanso to get it out of my system. So I promise to try and not gripe any more on here. Dazzedelf, your post to Rachel over there, especially the last line, was really funny. And for those of you who are interested, the folks at ITE are putting together a hilarious response to Rachel's "Unite" collage.
I left a note for Rachel on her blog, too. Just touching base with her, that's all.
oh, and thanks for the idea to post there capcom!
**how LAME**
Not that everyone hasn't already said that, but just had to put it in writing.
Yes, we are cat people. ;)
Hey CattyGirl!
How are you! It was very cool to have met you. And yes I remember when this game was fast and fun!!!
Excellent that you gave TPTB that "Ralphie" message, Barbarajay! Let's hope that they can get the hint! Or else we'll have to give them a bigger hint somehow. I'm sure that Fenris or some of our superhero characters on this blog can "learn 'em" a thing or two. :-)
Man, if there was a good way to cheer you all up, I'd do it in a heartbeat. *sigh* Well, if you're interested in a change of pace we've been having some really interesting conversation about redemption and the character development (ours and those of the Losties). We're over at Storiesofthelost.blogspot.com if you want to check it out.
Belly: Thanks for getting us started over there and welcome back!
Capcom - I am sure that we can take care of them. Let's see, we have a bunch of transformers, a few X-men, lots of Cats, a DazzedElf, and I am sure I am missing something....We will get them!!
and a friggin ox!
Don't forget the SuperMoms! ;-)
Shoelaces of the World!
UNTIE!
And of course Alvar's Angels!!
You know it Capcom! First I'll hit them with the Illudium PU-36 Space Modulator, then I'll unleash a wave of zombies on their asses or even better I'll unleash a wave of zombie-asses at them and you just don't want to know about those freaks!
And I'll even make them *shudder* clean their rooms!
Fenris, would those zombie-asses be like the ones on South Park, i.e., the six-assed monkey? :-) OK, that's enough cussin fer me today! Sorry Admins.
They've got to be joking.
Oh, oh, I know! DJ Dan's guest could be Joop. Or that polar bear from the Island. Or the frog Sawyer crushed. Or....ok, ok, enough. Well, at least anyone could tell us more than Rachel's been telling us.
This is getting ridiculous. I only hope the TV show doesn't end like TLE. I really hope this isn't the end. I guess no matter what RB says, this game will never be as fun as it was before.
I know it's tiring to hear our moans, but what else can we do now? We've given our time, our money, our beauty sleep and our brain...for a stupid compliment? Come on! What are those PM's thinking? It's like they don't care, or maybe they underestimate us. Are we THAT dumb?
Now about the comments at her blog, I'd like to see Rachel apologize to all of you. LOL.
...Sorry. I know that wasn't nice, or reasonable, or fair. I just had to post this. =P
JGZ350: Please put that stuff in a spoiler notice. There are some people that don't want to know. For everybody else there's www.spoilerfix.com. We know quite a lot about the beginning of season 3 already.
Thanks.
jgz350 - i thought you were one of the ones that was supposed to have gotten an APollo Bar through the trade? If something went wrong there, email me (or anyone in that situation for that matter)
Been doing some thinking, and researching. Maybe Rachel's "UNITE" is meant to be read "unit e".
It may be a wild goose chase, but what else is there to do? LOL
http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/dictE.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonhard_Euler
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth
If Rachel is hinting at unit e, and exponential growth, could this tie into Mittlewerks population reduction program?
JGZ350: It occured to me that my tone might have been harsh. Please forgive me. And if you didn't know about spoilerfix.com previously, I hope you're enjoying it now. It is like an addiction. I try to stay away but I just can't sometimes! :-D
Dyslexics of the world
UNTIE!
Well, OK. Today pretty much sucked.
All I have to say is MUSICIANS UNITE!!!
What a let down this game has become. No regrets for starting this game cause I know so much more info from the LOST world, but it's info that the general public will eventually find out anyways...Whatever... We got to know it first. Maybe they'll have some of our names come up on the show or something like that, as conspirispies that are helping stop the THF when they do reveal this ARG in the show...That would be awesome. Who knows.
I was talking to Maven at the Apollo give-away and I was telling her how TPTB will tie this ARG to the show. I think they're going to use the Gary Troup angle on this. Remember Cindy, she's still on the island and also the manuscript Sawyer was reading. Those are the ties that will bring this whole game in the LOST TV show. Sorry if this has already been discussed, but It sounds solid to me.
Well, see ya guys later or tomorrow...
I think noble is on to something...this must be an anagram...unite...untie...tunie...itune? rachel wants us to download something from itunes?
perhaps she's sending us to itunes to download her favorite tv show, which, i am sad to report, is george lopez.
FYSB- LSHSFOMN or whatever that is...ROFL!
Maybe Mittlewerk is real and didn't like being defaced by an ARG, so he took TPTB hostage at the end of ACT 2. Since then he's been running the ARG, releasing the damaging info ever so slowly to tick us off, and that by the time we figure it all out, he will have already taken over the world. Yeah yeah that's it.......puhleese.
And he's giving me really long wv's making it harder for me to comment.
Guys, we've been Ralphied all along. It's time to just get over that. I mean, hi, how many Jeep and Sprite and Monster and whatever the heck else ads have we had to see to get the clues?
The first 2 acts of the game were great. THe last ones have been one big snore fest. Nothing new, or certainly nothing that hadn't already been guessed at. Oh well.
You know, I've invested four months of my time into this game. I bought the Seasons 1 and 2 DVDs. (I do have to admit, I got The Bad Twin from the library.) I listened to DJ Dan at 2 am. I sat by my computer during ComicCon and the Times Square glyph hunt. I did everything Rachel said. I collected the glyphs and fragments. I went into the city to get Apollo bars. I uploaded my pic. I stayed in-game.
What are TPTB thinking? Did they only want to sell DVDs and books and promote their sponsors? I wouldn't have guessed that from the beginning of the game. Maybe I'm naive. What a joke on me.
Thank you TLEC for being such wonderful people. And Speaker, for being a regular part of my week this summer.
I'm just not having fun anymore.
I've been bored for sometime now, but at least the show is about to start again so I won't complain too much...
Anyway... Thrasher it was great to meet you in Philly and I couldn't believe that spread! Way to go Acura.
I have two bars I would like to share and no one has gotten back to me through the trade so now what can I do...
jgz350- I know you're probably gone for the night- but what part of Houston do you live in? We lived there from 1997-2003, and actually my hubby is originally from there. Just curious. I miss the city, but not the humidity or the traffic! hehe
Nate-
"ralphied" is referring to the movie The Christmas Story. The little boy in the movie (which takes place in the late 40's or early 50's) is named Ralph and he saves up a bunch of box tops or somesuch thing to finally send away for a decoder ring. His favorite radio show is Little Orphan Annie and at the end of each show there is a secret code and only the most dedicated listeners know the code because they have decoder rings. His ring finally makes it to him in the mail and he immediately sets out to decode the secret message only to find out that it is a promo for ovaltine- the message stating "don't forget to drink your ovaltine!" So the end of WIA and TLE in general has us all feeling a little "ralphied"
oops.....
Hello....
Anyone here? I am bored at work and all seems quiet here. I've even posted my thoughts on Rachel's blog - seems i'm in good company there.
Yawn.... Is it time to wake up America?
Hi JGZ350
Back from lunch,
I have to agree, I was in Houston (my first trip to the US) a few years ago. Houston is great.
Okay in an effort to pull some teeth out of this whole Unite thing...I got a message from Manny yesterday on MySpace. I really think he is just saying hi, but you never know. Also, the last time I posted a Manny message things got all Gwenyth Paltrow in here so just take it with a grain of salt.
Manny Says:
ANGE!!!!
Lots of people changing their pics lately. I'm getting confused. Looks like you're traveling the globe.
How have you been. Nice apollo bar get.
SO...maybe nothing, but the Apollo Bar mention and the globe travel make me think he is leading us to WIA...perhaps for the Unite thing, or maybe, just maybe something is coming.
Ange said:
things got all Gwenyth Paltrow
???? You've lost me there Ange, this is nothing to do with Ovaltine is it?
Mmmn that's one thing we've never figured out.
Is Manny Rachel? Malik? DJ Dan? Or is s/he someone entirely seperate.
LOL Angel...no the last Manny message I had had a reference to the movie Se7en, and there was a strange place holder pic. of Gwenyth in the flash of a Lost DVD site...people just got a little excited by the coincidence...not to worry...and no Ovaltine either!
"Ange said... "the last time I posted a Manny message things got all Gwenyth Paltrow"
that was fun wasn't it? LOL
I do not see any clues in Manny's latest email, but I appreciate the update, cause we never know....
I wonder then if we will get something from Manny, Unfortunately myspace is blocked from work so I cna't do any digging there.
"Gwenyth Paltrow" for those that missed it. Ange had an earlier email from Manny that mentioned "Gwenyth Paltrow"
and a "box" IIRC. About the same time , I found a pic of Gwenyth Paltrow buried inside an abc season 3 promo flash file. So we discussed if there was any connection. The general consensus of the group here, was it was a fluke, a flash programmer remnant, or placeholder.
I felt then, and still do, that it was a significant clue, but am unsure a clue to what, though I have my suspicions......
But it was fun, non the less :)
Mime-Fun indeed! I will keep an eye on MySpace today, albeit sneaky like from work.
Also this AIM conversation from the message board posted by Beanpolekt Tue Sep 12:
DSLerator was on AIM today. i had a breif converstion with him
beanpolekt: hello
DSLerator:hello
beanpolekt: any new developments on the Hanso situation?
DSLerator: soon
So watching AIM too.
Cool,
I've been keeping an eye out in and out of game but have found nothing new - although I did discover that a blog for Rachel Blak (no e) and discovered that UNITE is the union for Fast Food Workers in Australia
Oh well at least my time wasn't entirely wasted. ;)
JGZ350 - email me an address to send it to. Use my hotmail address:
split_500@hotmail.com
dark angel, was the "no e" blog a recent post? Do you have a URL, so I can read it?
"unit e", I mentioned way above in this thread, still has me thinking. WIH has a world map, with Apollo bar finders displayed like a growing world population.
Will Rachel and DJ Dan become proponents of population reduction? hmmmm
Now I must go to work.....BBL :)
Hi Thinbluemime - the last post was 14 hours ago but I don't think it has anything to do with Lost but the link is :
The RedSparkle
Still nothing new? this is ridiculous.
Re: the Gwyneth Paltrow-Se7en connection, wasn't there also some headless pics and a line from Se7en ("What's in the box?") on ROT?
I really thought these would lead to something at the time.
Maybe Mittelwerk is doing head transplants. The ponytail covers the scars. Yeah, I'm kidding.
Let's hope we get some kind of movement in thsi game this morning or today!!
Oh, Good Morning Losties!!
maybe manny's telling us in his own special way that he wants to kill us.
Tell me about it - I'm really bored here at work and I have been looking everywhere - even all the pictures on WIA but I can't find anything....
there is a cool video of some of the season 3 filming done by Ryan from the Transmission in the spoiler secrtion of the Fuselage
It...
*************Spoiler***************
Shows Boone pushing a shirtless Locke in some sort of convention centre. Sounds like a dream sequence.
**************End Spoiler**********

To be honest at the moment I'd settle for almost anything....
Oh well only 2 weeks until Season 3 starts....
GOOD MORNING TLEC!!!
Thanks Ange for that Manny update...Wasn't much, but I'll take it since we got nothing else to go with.

(I dont usually watch that show but what the heck). There was a family that really lives like pirates...no seriously they do. Was the strangest thing I've ever seen.
JGZ350- we live in the Phoenix area now, but we also lived in NW Houston when we were there- Copperfield area. Small world!

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr!

The Lost Ninja better be careful today... Ninja and Pirates are mortal enemies.
Our poor Lost Ninja will have to wait unitl December 5th for Day of the Ninja
Top Ten Reasons Why Pirates OWN Ninjas
1. Rum! It makes them bolder, it makes them tougher, and it makes them sway.
2. Pirates cheat like the Devil himself.
3. Pirates have guns.
4. Ninjas can't swim.
5. Pirates get to plunder and pillage - they fight for loot, not honor.
6. Pirates do it for the booty.
7. Pirates have parrots and monkeys.
8. Pirates have cool lingo: even "GAR!" or "ARGH" could convey a message. Ninjas talk in symbols.
9. Pirates live a life of danger, whereas ninjas live a life of training and solitude.
10. Pirates get the girls!

This pirate hat is giving me "hat hair"!
I feel your pain, shakey! Now I'm reduced to coming up with Pirate shtick!
shakey: don't forget about the lost community blog. Hopefully we'll all be there to discuss the show once the season starts.
ARRRRRGH
Ahoy ahoy matees. See's as though we are headed for the darker waters of there be no clue today land.... well blow mw down and swab the deck with my drunken butt. A clue to the where abouts of the fair Frachels booty is what we are searchin fer'. Begad this is fun. If the Cap'n (TPTB) don't release something soon it'll be the blackspot for them I tells ya. Me Bucko's Use your deadlights and find us a clue or you will all be flogged by nights end. SOme may even dance with Jack Ketch. I'll have your lights and liver if nothing is found.
Steer clear of a rum fellow for they can not be trusted.

Just lurking as usual. Hi to all.
And btw..I'm totally over this ARG bulls**t. I cannot believe the whole point of WIA was to tell us to listen to DJ Dan. That is simply mindblowing. They couldn't have possibly come up with anything more boring or less creative. *End of Rant*
Arrrr, me bucko, you keep downing the rum and you'll be in davey jones locker by nightfall, arrghhh
