Clue #142 - LetYourCompassGuideYou.com Update
The LetYourCompassGuideYou.com site has been updated! Go there and you'll see a rather strange card with a snowman on the beach, as well as a message that the site has been removed. If you click on the word "remove", however, you'll be taken to this video in YouTube. Also, if you "Ctrl A" the page, you'll see the following link at the bottom: 13/9/19/19/9/14/7/15/18/7/1/14/19
It takes you to the Index of /usr where you can finally find the missing_organs.zip in the trash folder. The title of the document inside the zip file is "Evidence of the Hanso Foundation's Crimes". Also, you'll find that there are some new entries in the OpenersHep.log file regarding William T. Kilpatrick (WTK).
Thank you to makomk, Gavin, Scott, Wendy, and Dennis for emailing us on this!

Text of article page
CAPE TOWN INQUISITOR SOUTH AFRICA Friday, 26th May 2006 HOSPITAL RAID (CONT'D FROM PAGE ONE)
Some of the patients found with missing organs were in a comatose state -- kept alive by heart/lung and dialysis machines. Police investigators have also reported the discovery of a "chilling room" in which recently-deceased bodies were kept just above the freezing point. According to eyewitnesses, industrial quantities of Vialex -- a pharmaceutical agent for the preservation of organs for transport -- were also discovered along with several lots of an as-yet-unidentified chemical marked as "experimental." The hospital -- which has ties to The Hanso Foundation -- denies all accusations of illegal experimentation and organ harvesting, a growing problem in the developing world, but for the families of the victims, the nightmare is worse than any of the charges.
William Kilpatrick IS IN THE VIDEO!
He's talking about harvested organs and the missing organs ZIP!!!!
OH NO they got him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good catch dennis, it links here

I'm wondering if there's something we're missing about this latest development. It seems kinda bleh to me.
We already were of the opinion that THF was evil. So, to be really shocking (TEAR THE FOUNDATION APART!!!!!), they'd have to be doing something either really really really evil that we'd never have thought of (pooping on spinach crops), or something good that we'd never have figured they'd be capable of.
so wtk is done for. who filmed this? why did he announce it at like an applebee's in michigan?
Here is a screen shot of the note at the end of the video:
http://static.flickr.com/81/249146526_81af4ec855_o.jpg
how was this even found?
...Jeep again!
WOW, cool vid. I wonder who was filming...
Me thinks the End Game has begun folks!! Let's not get complacent!
ya know, when i want to tear apart a multinational conglomerat by disseminating information on their atrocities, i generally just announce it a the local tavern. you?
Anyone wanna summarize the WTK video? (stupid work, no YouTube)
: ) Thanks peaceandnamaste
scott: yeah, i saw that too. he seems concerned.
Scott- Belly, Admin and myself are on the case today....
The hidden link at the bottom of LYCGY says:
13/9/19/19/9/14/7/15/18/7/1/14/19 = M I S S I N G O R G A N S

Guys! (David & Belly) the link for the missing organs zip is wrong, I fixed it.
So I guess that validates the WTK Aim account stuff from last night as official clue material. :)
Anyone still not think that account wasn't in game?
Man, went to the grocery store and look what happens...striving desperately to check it all out now!
Still, again this whole thing doesn't tell us anything unexpected. But at least they have wrapped the angle up, killed another peripheral character and at least this time the guy got a video.
i think the vialex info and compass schematic is pretty telling. (although, as an electrical engineer, i take issue with them calling that figure a schematic)
OMG! I was in Troy, Mich having a crown done at the dentist when this happened! The bar/restaurant looks like Joe Cool's to me. It's on Big Beaver Rd. (16 Mile) and I was on Long Lake (18 Mile). I was pretty high on nitrous at the time:) It's pretty cool having things happening in Michigan since they didn't have Apollo bars here. Well, I'll just have to ask my son-in-law who works for Chrysler what the heck is happening and where they put their out-of-line employees..I'm sure he'd know:) Or...was it Hanso that go WTK?
I think it's in game, Fenris. WTK is obviously missing and in trouble!
Woohoo! Thanks TPTB! "You like us, you really like us!" :-)
who shot the video? and what's with the guy at the end of the video? right in front of him going into the door, someone else has a camera. and who gives him the note? the girl in the jeep sweatshirt perhaps. guess i need to watch that again.
Woohoo! That was fun. I don't mind the hokey/campy feel at all.
So the air manifest shows that the "donors" departed from Cape Town and landed in Geneva. Why am I blanking on a Geneva connection? Was that where the Global Welfare Consortium was based?
Have we ascertained what the Global Welfare Consortium's ultimate role in Mittlewerk's scheme is? To lend it legitimacy?
How funny would it have been if WTK had gotten nabbed at an In and Out Burger...
So Fenris- in light of the fact that the AIM message was legit...have you been looking over your shoulder lately?
I liked that little bit of action...although I can't help but think all of this WTK stuff is just really random. I was thinking the End Game would focus on Sri Lanka and the virus/equation, and not so much the missing organs angle?!
I watched the youtube vid again. They did a close-up of the license plate on the van (Dodge, of course)they hauled him off in: 1646HH
Hard to read the letters on it, but I think it's supposed to be a Michigan plate. anyone know how to look that up?
FENRIS!!! YOU'RE ALIVE!!!!
oops, had the Rachel font on.
Maybe this isn't so random. Maybe they're telling us that one of the two guys who became organ doners (Josh Cyccane and Daniel Bilda) through Hanso's evil intervention is responsible for Rachel being alive today....."I'm living proof"?
Ange,
Random, yes. All the sponsors are probably just tying up their "storylines" as best they can. I doubt we're going to derive any solid info out of this. It's just jeep's way of saying, "here is what happened to the zip file and WTK." I've only glanced over the document and it seems like it's just reaffirming things we already have a good idea about.
I'm interested though to read through the document carefully and see if there is anything really helpful in it.
BTW:
I'm 99% sure the video was filmed at a Potbelly's restaurant. It's one of my favorite lunch spots (there are 3 very close to where I work/live) They are known for having live music and the finish out/decor was very Potbelly-ish.
dante - I think what that means is that THF forged the DNR orders to make the deaths seem like "what the patient wanted," rather than "we killed him for his spleen."
However, I think we're looking at at least one typo. The date under the morgue photo for Daniel Bolda is a month in the future (10/17/06). I'm sure it's supposed to be 1/17/06.
jgz350 - Not quite. : )
Dante....I want you to put on these special glasses that make things like dates and names all nice and fuzzy and acceptable. You should wear them through Sunday at least. It's for the best. Trust me.
Codysmom...very interesting thought.
I think its funny that OpenersHep starting typing in all caps towards the end. I guess we finally have confirmation that Rachel is Persephone. ;>)
Dante's right...that date discrepancy with Daniel Bolda- how do we figure that in? Is it a typo/mistake?
Interesting the things these guys had in common: lived in Cape Town, but died in Mombassa, Kenya; there was only a 4 year age diffence between them, both male. I guess we know that TWM's genetic targets are males in their early 40's?
TBP? the be powers?
If you click the little "more" link in the upper right hand corner of your youtube screen, you get this little bit of info.
Yesterday (9/20) at around 11:40 A.M. in Troy, MI, one of our former employees was abducted during one of our Jeep Compass Music Tour performances with Eric Hutchinson. The abductee's name is William T. Kilpatrick. He's about 6' 2" tall and was wearing a green Jeep knit shirt and khaki pants. The van that the two men were driving was a grey Dodge Sprinter. Local authorities have been notified but we'd like to use the power of youtube to spread the word. If you have any information, please email thejeepchannel or simply comment. We are working on establishing a tip line. PLEASE POST THIS VIDEO ON AS MANY SITES AS YOU CAN. Thank you for your help.
So, maybe Hanso has these hospitals where they take relatively young (in their 40's) patients with mild problems and have them sign a do-not-resuscitate form (after all, THAT'S not going to happen...it's just a formality) and then they do something to them that puts them in cardiac arrest. They can later show officials the DNR paper and it's all legal. They harvest organs without the loved ones knowing about it......
Ok see you all have addressed the dates...got sidetracked between thinking and posting.
Lol FYSB, the Rachel font. Indeed.
FYYSB/Scout. Yep I am alive and if THF goons knock on my door I have a little suprise for them!
In actual fact with that conversation he only blocked me on AIM because he was still repeating the message to other people even though he was logged off to me. So that kinda took the steam out of the "shut down you computer" bit. Was kinda "Do as I say or I'll stop saying it!" threat.
Still, I enjoyed the moment. :)
Admin, yes, could be Potbelly's (there's one on Crooks in Troy)
Still can't believe I was so close to where this (supposedly) happened!
I'm thinking of e-mailing the Dodge license plate number to Jeep, not sure of e-mail address
oxillini - TBP = Me!
After further review (did it just like Dante did, just now), the Bolda timeline doesn't make sense. The Cyccene timeline works just fine. But the dates are so clearly written...it can't be a mistake.
Post it on youtube codysmom!
don't have sound at work but quality of video footage looks like RB's handy work.
So Jeep is being used to transport organs. O.k. That is not necessarily a big deal. Having a DNR doesn't mean you don't want to donate organs.
creepiness in WTK talk though
You know it's just sad that a person can be dragged kicking and screaming out of a restaurant by some very questionable looking people and everyone just smiles and keeps eating their lunch. I mean was there no one who thought "maybe we should do something"? Poor WTK.
codysmom - Interesting thought. makes sense to me.
From the past blog... Modesto, California has BOTH Sonic and In-and-Out Burgers! Something better to be know for that Scott Peterson or the #1 stolen car city.
I wonder why the air transport wasn't working out and they had to use jeeps instead...
scoutpost: in defense of the other patrons, Potbelly's sandwiches are pretty dang good. don't think i'd set mine down to help out wtk, either.
Airlines require you to list a lot of info as to what and why etc. you are transporting something. Probably was getting too hard to get past without causing suspicion.
LOL- Ox. I'll have to try a Potbelly's if I'm ever in the vicinity of one. But the real question is...are they as good as White Castle? hehe
They're even willing to build new hospitals because "air transport has become too risky"....Hanso had Oceanic Airlines in their pocket? Now that it is no more because of flight 815 too risky to use conventional airlines? just thinking outloud here..
There was a sight called Hanso Air but I thought it was fake.
noblelawyer said...
O.k. That is not necessarily a big deal. Having a DNR doesn't mean you don't want to donate organs.
It might be a big deal the the DNRs were forged. There's something very fishy about the DNR on page 5. The "fax" looks like it is faded or didn't transmit, but the signature and the black-outs are perfect. It looks like they were added later.
Ewwww, do you think there were missing organs on our Losties flt? Hmmmm something to think about.
scoutpost: depends. i'd take potbelly's over white castle for, say, lunch. but for late night snack after a night at the bars, nothing beats white castle.
also, i'm not grossed out by the thought of organs on flight 815, but the vialex pump on my new jeep compass is a bit of a concern.
adel - I got it but thought it was because i have not upgraded adobe. Curious now.
wow. all of a sudden they decided to kick this thing into high gear.
dante said...
The Joshua Cyccene dates make more sense time-wise:
02/09/03: signs DNR
10/08/03: certificate of death (does Kenya use mm/dd or dd/mm?
10/11/03: administered Vialex
10/25/03: body? flown from South Africa to Switzerland
do dead people count on the flight manifest?
or maybe tptb decided to throw in one more screw-up for the road.
Adel -LOL So am I.
so far nothing popping out as unusual or a "special feature" it was created on a mac this morning using the latest version of creative studio by adobe. that's all i got.
Another email from All_Games brings up something interesting in the new LOST Season 3 poster. There is something about the eye colors. All_Games points out that Sawyer's eyes should be blue and Kate's eyes should be green. She also reminds us of the episode with Jack as a child with brown eyes. Jack's eyes are unusually blue when he pleads with the airport attendant to allow his father's coffin on the plane. She points out that they appear to be 2 different colors when Jack changes his report regarding his father's sobriety during a particular surgery. She recommends watching the DVD where it is easier to make out things like eye color. There seem to be a number of discussions regarding the new Season 3 poster all over the web.
It would be interesting to know if any of the actors wear color contacts during filming of the show. I think the colors on the poster may be just for artistic purposes. Eye color changes to some degree based on the lighting so I don't know if this is really a clue.
My question would have to be: Why are the pictures taped together? I suppose it is because the survivors have been studied carefully and the poster makes it look as if the Others have a room with photos of the survivors taped to the wall. The DYMO label maker label is a nice touch. Twenty years ago, every scientist used DYMO labels to label stuff in the lab. I know this! :)
i got this off a website any1 find this weird i kno dis doesnt have nething to do wit TLE but i just thought this waz weird
adelphiadella: the 'pop-up' of special features says it allows you to use the embedded pictures in new ways. By clicking on the picture tasks button, it asks you if you want to export pictures, export/edit pictures, and a few more. I don't think there is anything to this but I could be wrong.
Alternate view of the WTK Video can be found here, also on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5-XqFa21sY
In this one you can clearly see him throw out all the pieces of paper like confetti.
adel: can't say I've see the pop up before either. But I did hit the export picture button and it brought up each page as a picture (11 in all) and the option to save them.
Why did the goons let WTK walk through the restaurant first. They could have just taken him out the door that they came in.
Too bad this is coming to an end.
Maybe WTK knew the goons were close behind, so he went to a place where he knew he could make a statement before he was captured.
dang, but that doesn't explain why he had a pocket full of missing organ notes.
I'm kinda bummed that I bought my jeep several years ago before they offered Thoracic Storage options. I thought was lucky to get a CD player. I have to keep my spare Thoracic organs under the passenger seat.
The Alternate video says this in the comments:
I was there at Potbelly's sub shop with a friend yesterday when this thing went down. I have another angle of it. We were there shooting some vid of Eric Hutchinson playing.
confirmation that it is a ptobelly's!

There is this as well, just a short film of a picture of WTK before he got captured
it says the following:This is william sitting in a booth before be bolted to the front and grabbed a mike form some guy playing the piano and singing. HE was kidnapped as soon as he got up there

Any leads on the phone# 255 5588745 ?
I don't think it's a real area code, but can we do anything else with those numbers?
(btw, Happy Birthday, Joop)
255 is not a real area code
Just an observation on sponsors and marketing...."Please Help Me" video was posted on youtube just a few hours ago and has been viewed over 1,000 times.
Other videos on the jeepchannel have only been viewed around 30-50 times, even though they've been up several weeks.
Just a proof point that hiding clues at the sponsor site does drive traffic. I probably know a lot more about the Jeep compass than the average person after combing through their site repeatedly.
(psstt...TPTB, are you listening?)
DharmaChick said... Any leads on the phone# 255 5588745 ?
255 is not an area code in the US, but 255 is the International Dialing Code for Tanzania.
The next 2 or 3 digits (55 or 558) are not valid City codes for that area.
I just noticed there is a new "music" guy on the RDB.com site, but I don't see anything else new there. Probably not game relevant.
I happened to be on myspace and saw an add for the jeep compass music tour. I clicked on the link (http://www.myspace.com/jeep) and was taken to a page where I found this
09/20 - 11:30 PM
Eric Hutchinson
Troy Potbellys
3111 Crooks Rd
Troy, MI
Not that it is any big clue but at least we know what restaurant it was in and when it took place.
Jen
A lot of stuff looks different on RDB.com.....noticed it a few days ago
In OpenersHep: [2:02] wtkFleet35: Don’t worry about Mr. Kilpatrick. He is in good hands. He is helping others in ways he never imagined.
Well, I imagine he's helping out with people who need new organs and are willing to pay the big bucks to THF
Sorry, fasten. I just saw your post....post what on youtube?
codysmom...you were looking for a place to post the license plate. the jeep people asked that if you had information about the kidnapping to post it there.
the creepy person conversing with openershep referenced her new york apartment. is she back from oslo?
Dennis said...
DharmaChick said... Any leads on the phone# 255 5588745 ?
255 is not an area code in the US, but 255 is the International Dialing Code for Tanzania.
that number from the Return of Priate Foundation is an Employee Identifcation number not a phone number.
but did you notice the hours, minutes, seconds count on the jeep schematic?
If you were talking about the license plate number on the van that took WTK away, it was on the first vid on youtube (the one from thejeepchannel) and it looked like they did a close=up of it on purpose. Anybody know how to look up ownership of a vehicle using the license plate number? its 1646HH, a Michigan plate
I don't have a youtube acct. Somebody on there posted this:
13/9/19/19/9/14/7/15/18/7/1/14/19
?
Finally, something good and I have to go,
It's for a good cause, though. We're picking out a new puppy tonight!
Yay puppies!
codysmom: 13/9/19/19/9/14/7/15/18/7/1/14/19 is missing organs, m is 13, i is 9, etc.
mt. girl:
All the Hanso projects have to do with changing the Valenzetti Coefficients.
The WWPDP banner, under which THF built lots of hospitals, is the front for their organ harvesting network.
The organ harvesting feeds back into the LEP.
One of the drivers of the "unchangeable" Valenzetti Coefficients is human life expectancy.
As TWM says in the Sri Lanka video,
"We have tried changing these factors by manipulating the environment."
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
mt. girl:
Maybe. But the MHA also included the Vik Institute, home of number crunching savants continually cranking through the Valenzetti Equation to see if any of the coefficients had changed yet.
I commented in an earlier thread that the giant banks of computers in the Swan station probably are there for the same purpose, but they have a problem with finite precision that the savants don't suffer from. My theory is that computation errors caused by the finite precision accumulate over time, and therefore the program has to be reinitialized with the correct values of the coefficients periodically -- about every 108 minutes.
Thanks, Ox.
Yay, puppies!!!
I'm going to name it Hurley if we get one. A bichon!!!!!
Changing the core factors . . .
whatever the cost!
Maybe it is one and the same.
If the loved one is Rachel, and the predicted end of the world is within her lifetime. . .
maybe Alvar just wants to make the world a better place for his little girl.

...detachable powered cooler compartment in the back.
Just the thing for keeping your Sprite cold!
Just got home and WOW! At least TPTB seems to be trying to tie up loose ends! And they are confirming stuff we already guessed or knew of (albeit with some cool details). And they're trying to cover all the bases...letting us know that multiple views of the Kirkpatrick kidnapping were taken by people there to video the performance of Eric Hutchinson.
Almost feels like the good ole days of ACT I, doesn't it? Not quite, but almost.
haha 4ever the 32 thats funny
23 sry
13 days 2hours and 36 mins left un til S3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.lost.com/ REALLY GOOD LOST SITE below the pic or video wen u first open it up theres allways a coundown timer for the nxt episode in this case its A Tale of Two Cities
also how do u post a link or somthin so people can just click on it and they can go there
Maven, There are a couple videos of this on Youtube...On of them was there to film Eric Hutchinson and saw this and didn't even know what was going on...His name is Atom26 and in the comments section on youtube he wrote this:
The dude threw a whole stack of these leaflet things into the crowd and I picked one up. Was pretty crazy. So the guy's name is William? Is this part of the "Uncharted Tour" thing that Jeep is doing? Or something else. Totally confused!
He didn't even know what was going on till someone explained it to him after he posted his video thinking he saw an actual kidnapping...LOL
His Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5-XqFa21sY&watch_response
LOL Cam794! We have DYMO labels all over our labs too. :-)
Hey, ryan: Yeah, I saw that earlier! Thanks...I see Matt set him straight! LOL
I think I'm actually going to update the Timeline! Yikes, it's been a long time since I've done that!
Right on Maven...Good luck on that timeline, espesially with all these new dates and especially the on set in the future...
FYI - The date under the morgue photo for Daniel Bolda is a month in the future (10/17/06)
I just wanted to update you guys that you are going to really enjoy my part on DJ Lena! I wrote the script today and we are recording it tomorrow. So be excited for that!!!
Ange has seen it and can attest to it's hilarity!
It is indeed hilarious...Thrasher has a huge funny-bone:).
Can anyone get a capture of the open back of the van in the WTK vid? Looks like there's someone in there with big Jackie O. sunglasses on. Unless I'm seeing things.
Just catching up. Glad something happened! You all were a RIOT today!! I can't tell you how many times I actually belly laughed! If nanites exploded starting with my brain, they'd be down to my toes right now.
Here are my favorites!

Can't wait for DJ Lena! We've got some real talent in this crowd!
Well, I actually updated the Timeline with today's stuff. I almost forgot how to edit a post! LOL
Yes, twinkle: I'm constantly laughing with many of our poster's unique wits.
WV: tocab (or not tocab)
Hey twinkle and maven!
Today was a lot of fun, especially after the letdown of yesterday afternoon.
I'm glad we'll have TLC after this weekend!
OK first wen the DJ Dan cast waz on SAturday im Like YAY ILLL B ABLE 2 WATCH IT!!! then im like Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOO00000oooooOOOOOOOO0000000ooooo

OW that really sucks. Were u live???
watched the video again. William sure wasn't trying to get away very much from those guys. I mean if I thought someone was trying to abduct me they would have had to hit me over the head and carry me out.
Hi, noblelawyer: Yes, the "acting" in that video seemed pretty lame to me. Definitely not Academy Award material! LOL
Was that fun or what?
A kidnapping during a live performance at a restaurant...secret documents...a RB/WTK chat transcript...
I'm in ARG heaven!
THANK YOU, TPTB! /RB Font
Duh. That was supposed to be a "RB/Not WTK transcript."
Gooooood Morning Vietn... Uh Sorry TLEC
Been at work 2 1/2 hours now and am totally bored.
Well a lot of stuff seemed to happen last night. I was just saying that it would be nice to have a little teaser before Sunday. Thank You TPTB
Morning Spoiler time.... :)
**********Spoiler**************
Episode 2 spoiler:
September 21, 2006 - From BuddyTV/TheTailsection.com
This may or may not take place in this episode...but seeing this episode is Locke-centric I think it is pretty safe to say it happens...but you never know these days.
So just why was John Locke so whack as to name his for-pay-phone-friend after his ex-girlfriend? Is it just nostalgia? Or is the man bent? Well, sources close to the Hawaii set claim to have seen some footage being shot of Locke's woman being show in a death sequence. This would be the "original" Helen played by Katey Sagal. Segal has recently joined the cast of "Boston Legal". The death scene involves a car accident that wasn't exactly an accident.
My thoughts (this is an old theory of mine) Locke and Helen were under the peir that collapsed under Hurleys weight.

Hi 2Sweet2bsour
It is pretty dreary isn't it - although the birds are singing outside my office window, it's stopped raining and it's almost the weekend, so it's not all bad!
Morning Lucybob
Quite a bit has happened since yesterday!
Morning all - or afternoon!!! Wow, busy then!
Hi InEnglandandLost,
It was busy last night, it's been a bit quiet this morning

I noticed that also but haven't seen anyone else mention it. Just another typo?
Nothing to do with Lost - but if any of you want a laff - have a look at this video I did! It's a few years old now!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMj_jmHIXic
Morning all, think tptb will try to wrap up any more loose ends today?
Thank you 2Sweet!!
Just want as many people to watch it as poss, you never know if someone in the entertainment world watches it and wants to use me for summit!
Good morning, guys! :)
Let's hope we get some answers/clues/ANYTHING today.
Cheers InEnglandAndLost!
I missed the part that it was you in the video. LOL!
Hi inenglandlost - or should that be Jon...
Anyway Video looks pretty cool of course as I have no sound at work it didn't make a whole lot of sense but I look forward to watching it when I get home tonight.
P.S - yes I'm nothing to do with AlQaeda... That woman was CRAZY!!!
thanks DA - definately needs sound!!!
2sweet...
I do work in media - but radio here. It's bloomin hard to get to some places!!!
Didn't even think about that! How funny would that be
Designermama
I think the problem is that TLE was a first and therefore a bit of trial run for ABC. Their simply not going to throw money at it unless they get a return for their money, and the same for the sponsors.
The bottom line is if TLE is more effective that say billboard or TV advertising then they'll throw money at it. In this case I don't think it turned out to be.
But hey we got a lot from it without having to pay a penny to ABC so I'm happy.
I know what you're saying with the trash can thing but you would be amazed at how careless people are. Non-technical people don't realise the trashbin does not destroy files, and people just get careless or blase.
It's like the new stories you get every so often of government laptops left on trains with no password protection, or top secret documents left in taxis.
inenglandandlost...LOVED the video. Very fun. I really enjoyed the spontaneity, offering to sing someone down the street and sharing the man chat "I fixed a car". Hilarious! Thanks for sharing.
If TPTB aren't around, it's nice to see we can entertain ourselves.
Cheers FYSB - Feel free to send the link around to friends and stuff!!!

dark angel: i think part of the problem we think abc had (lack of funding/interest from sponsors?) was the choice of products advertised. i mean, they could tell the greatest story ever written and i'm still not buying a jeep compass. who would make a $25,000 decision based upon the manufacturers involvement with their favorite tv show. and partnering apollo with acura in the us makes no sense. people are going there to get free candy bars, maybe they'll buy a $30,000 car on their way out?
OTOH, they missed a big opportunity to sell Apollo bars. While it was nice to get some for free, I would have been willing to pay $1 a bar to get them, and I'm sure a lot of other people who weren't near a giveaway would have done the same (as evidence by sales on eBay)
I agree oxillini - I can understand Verizon and Sprite but why Jeep? I am suprised as well they did not try for a more international sponsor, I don't know about Australia but Verizon don't operate in the UK. At least they weren't sponsored by McDonalds...
Designermama, I know what you're talking about. The little boo-boos don't bother me too much. The loss of momentum (and rationality) at the end was disappointing. TPTB may not have ever done this before, but other people have, albeit, on a much smaller scale. They could have picked up a book and learned how to do it. With such a big investment, one would think they could have spent a little more time on their homework.
Having said that, I've had fun and, at this point, almost anything more they could do will make me happy.
Hi Ular98,
I used to like in a place called Chathan (Chav town to those in the UK) and it used to be like that with Fireworks, from September through to December it would be like living in Beruit or Bagdad. Mind you at least the only thing be shot was our nerves.
Speaking of typos - did anyone else notice that the first missing organs victim is named Daniel Bolda, but his death certificate says Daniel Bilda? Way to not raise suspicion, Hanso!
GOOD MORNING TLEC!!! All caught up...
Stefan - I hope THF doesn't really kill DJDan on Sunday, but what a twist that would be...
Mark Treitel - Yes, I remember the days where the admins wouldn't open a new post until there were 700 posts!!!...Now it goes to like 300-400 and then we all want a new one....Ahhhh the good old days.
Inenglandandlost - MAN YOUR FUNNY!!! Great vid man. I hope you make it out there. Heck, if you stared in your own show, I'd watch it...
Hey Ular98
Your not in Illinois are you? All sounds a bit like Prison Break to ne ;)
dark angel: yes, i never understood jeep or acura's involvement. verizon makes some sense, bu why not t-mobile? they operate in more locales, right? and i figured most of the sponsors would have more to do with ciomputers and the web given where the game was taking place. why wouldn microsoft advertise their new vista software, or apple try to sell you a mac? and i know i've harped on this before, but that sprite ad campaign is just plain awful. the only people paying any attention to it are the arg players and it has been insinuated to us that sprite is laced with something dr. hackett is researching. nice!
regarding the overall feeling on mistakes. i know this is abc's first arg and the first one associated with a tv phenomenon, but it is not the first arg ever. just friggin hire some of the killer bees (halo video game arg) production guys instead of farming it out to the interns! long story short, lost is a cash cow for abc. regardless of whether this arg lost money or broke even, they had the chance to fatten up the cash cow that is the tv show. so you lose a couple thousand on a web scavenger hunt over the summer. what do you think a 30-second ad during the season premiere costs?
dark angel: i'm in illinois. where is prison break supposed to be, marion or joliet?
designer: good point regarding advertising for the sake of brand identity. my question with jeep is, why did they keep showing us the compass, the least "jeepy" of their product line. it is a car based crossover vehicle, not a serious off-road vehicle and in the same vehicle category as the acura rdx promoted at apollo giveaways (although down the price scale several thousand) if jeep wanted to cultivate their image peter thompson would have ordered jeep wranglers unlimiteds for their increased cargo room and legendary off road capabilities. perfect for when that stolen lung absolutely has to be delivered across the great rift of africa! see, i should have worked for abc! tptb, are you listening (taps mic) is this thing on?
Hi Oxillini- Prison Break is/was set in Fox River which I think is fictional but I understand that it was filmed in Joliet.
BTW for those of you that have not seen Prison Break it is almost as good as lost. Probably the second best thing on TV.
My wife says that it is better than Lost but she has clearly lost her mind as that is not possible!
Hey just realised I did stick myself on Monster and got head hunted as a result... only thing is I did that before TLE.
Nah, If Peter Thompson wanted a good off road vehicle he would have purchased a Land Rover - I was going to say a good British vehicle but they're German now.
I must admit though I do have a bit of a love afair with the 1944 Willys Jeep though.
So I guess the prisoners will be sunning them self in Mexico by now then!
good call dark angel! the land rover is pretty much synonomous with african expeditions. who's left in the uk? jaguar and aston martin are owned by ford (for now), rover and mini are bmw, right. tvr is russian owned. guess it's a global economy now.
also, it looks like prison break has moved on to filming in dallas this year.
Morning everyone! Wonder what tidbits TPTB will throw us today. Still a lot of loose ends out there.
Inenglandandlost: Great video! Love your attitude! Good luck to you.
designermama/oxillini: Yeah, who amongst the ARG demographic will go out and buy a vehicle...any vehicle...based on playing a computor game? Sure, sublimaly (not sublymonally) there might be a connection later on down on the line to buy Jeep, but Verizon and Sprite makes more sense for the majority age group in the game.
Ahhh, for the good, old days of 700+ posts! LOL
Mmmn British Car Manufacturers - got me there, used to be MG Rover until they went bust and were bought by the Chinese.
There aren't really any big Britsh car manufactures anymores, just small specialist firms like Caterham. We do make good Nissan's though!
Mind you look like the US is going the same way as the UK with Ford shifting it's production away from the US
Hi Maven,
I suprised we didn't have Microsoft as a Sponsor. They could issue a clue that could only be read by the new Beta for Office 2007 which would force us all to try it.
Mind you we don't know who TPTB might have approached, a guess for a lot of companies being associated with a global evil corporation might have been a bit to close to the mark ;)
xpwdMaybe Rachel was dead until she was repaired with 'Missing Organs'!
Oops I wonder where my word verification went - I typed in the comments section d'oh - please ignore the XPWD in the last post ;)
Work, Boo Hiss
It's Friday afternoon here - 32 minutes left of the week :)
dark angel: yes ford and gm are both moving more and more maunfacturing out of the us, while the japanese and korean are moving plants here all the time. i was shocked to hear that ford and gm have met to discuss working together!
Morning everyone! Going to catch up on comments. Hope we get something else interesting today- yesterday was sort of reminiscent of the good ole days.
designer: adobe boo hiss! i hate hate hate illustrator. although really it's not adobe's fault. it's my employers fault for insisting we do schematics in illustrator instead of autocad. hmmmm, autocad would have been a good sponsor too!
Ah just wait until we get to discussing Season 3 on TLC :) :) :)
Hey - anyone going to record something for the final TLEC podcast. I didn't have time to do it for the DJ Lena one but I am going to download Audacity tonight and record something for the final TLEC Podcast, not sure what yet.
maybe tptb will release a rachel/twm/fixer gag reel after this is all over. i'd like to see that!
rachel bumps into twm outside the map office and his ponytail falls off!
fixer picks up the phone to say he'll fix the vik thing and the phone rings while he's holding it.
rachel goes up to the allied copenhagen shipping door and drops the pizza.
good stuff.
Oxillini, I would pay big bucks for the TLE Bloopers Video....
Rachel answers the phone during the first Copenhagen video and hears Mittlewerk ask snickeringly "Is your refrigerator running?"
Rachel misreads the Danish language gearshift on her Jeep Compass and accidentally puts it in reverse, crushing Joop.
Rachel sneaking around Hugh and Darla's apartment and finds a French Maid outfit...in Hugh's size!
fysb:
rachel is tapping away and twm reaches over her shoulder to turn off the CAPS LOCK (aka RB FONT HOTKEY)
ooh, maybe, like in austin powers, rachel has been unfrozen. due to the unfreezing process she cannot control THE VOLUME OF HER VOICE!
I guess I'll ask this again in Rachel-font:
CAN ANYONE GET A GOOD CAPTURE OF THE OPEN BACK OF THE VAN IN THE VIDEO? IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE'S IN THERE WITH BIG BLACK JACKIE-O SUNGLASSES ON. I DUNNO, MAYBE RACHEL? SHE WORE THEM ONCE OR TWICE.
RB-font off. :-) I agree about how it seems that ABC/TPTB maybe didn't have an experienced ARG producer/director overseeing this game. ABC could have probably found one in the Disney Imagineering employee pool, for heaven's sake.
Good morning friends! :-)
fysb:
rachel sneaking around hugh and darla's apartment. pops in a tape marked "Top Secret!" let's just it is an expose, but has nothing to do with thf!
morning, belly. kind of has a last day of school feel to me.
Rachel misreads the Danish language gearshift on her Jeep Compass and accidentally puts it in reverse, crushing Joop.
That one made me laugh out loud FYSB(not good when I am at work :P)
Anyway peeps - time to go home bath the kids, walk the dog and of course watch InEnglandandLost's You Tube video with sound.
Probably be back on line sometime later.
Namaste
DA
Morning belly! Wow, it's about to be the "last time" for everything as the countdown to Sunday begins...
Natevoodoo: Those errors were pure laziness. No spellcheck and didn't want to look it up anywhere! :)
Fysb: Yes, a gag reel of TLE would really be something! You make me laugh every day! Bloopers would really be funny, too. I'm betting there's a million of those!
Morning Capacom, Belly, and Maven!!!
Laters Dark Angel
LOL FYSB and Oxilini, you two crack me up...
Man last friday, boo hoo...
wait if THIS IS RB FONT, and this:
is how i always type,
then.....maybe i'm secretly rb's bad twin?
muwha ha ha!
LOL, ox, Top Secret!
Hey, ryan! Love your new avatar!
IF I TYPE IN CAPS AND BOLD DOES THAT MEAN I'M "RACHEL-IZING" LOUDER THAN ANYONE ELSE?
Ok, Ox, I think you should take....
The How Do You Know if You Are Parthenogenically Related to Rachel Blake Quiz
1. Do you have an irresistable need to type in either uppercase or lower case, ignoring all social conventions to use them both appropriately?

definitely. while i do respect punctuation, the upper case letters are dead to me.
2. Are you compelled to videotape all of your exploits, then edit out the really interesting parts?
my employer videotapes all of my exploits at work, but i have no idea if the videos are edited in the room all the cameras ffed to. i bet they make weekly highlight reels a la sportecenter's plays of the week.

no, the recluses i stalk are far more destitute.
4. Do you find yourself assaulting strangers with small appliances, only to become oddly drawn to them in a romantic way?
my wife and i met during our now infamous "blender incident of 1999."
5. Do you write your grocery list in a combination of binary and hex?

nope, never.
