Bwah ha ha.  Hans revealed what I suspected to be true long ago:  the cheats were all part of the game.  If you used a cheat, you failed test 7.  Black Swan WAS Hans.   So, did you use cheat codes, or did you play?  Do you think embedding cheats as part of the process was a big twist, or something entirely expected?   Chime in below.

It’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of the new ARG’s plodding introductory phase, but hey — it’s almost over!

Our good buddy Hans sent around a note today that gives October 7th as the end of the Dharma recruitment efforts.  Maybe now, finally, a real game will begin.

Another test starts, another cheat is embedded, and another server crashes.  The leaderboard is a study in multi-level-marketing, and there is no narrative.  The games don’t even evoke the ‘flavor’ of LOST.  On the other hand, it’s free.

I’m still giving the game a chance, even though I can’t play it at the moment because the site is down, but come on guys… the counter argument to…

(Click the image for the full e-mail).  Well, it looks like the game is still playing tease and deny.  Hans e-mailed us this morning to let us know to visit DharmWantsYou.com to get the start date.  For most people, all you will see is a blank screen.  I’m assuming this is just server overload..

If any of you are able to get through, contact me.  In the mean time… the anticipation!

Hey guys, I just received this email… I’ll keep you updated after I check the source code for anything I find:

And here’s the site link for the email.

Hmm as far as I can tell, I don’t see anything in the source code, but maybe someone can see something I can’t see? Let me know in the comments below!

If you log into DharmaWantsYou.com you will be greeted with, well… nothing.

The pesky “Security Update” has been swapped with a whole lot of blank space.  Could this mean the tests are coming soon, or have they decided to flip that old saying around into “nothing is better than something.”

Updates as they come along.

All eyes on DharmaWantsYou.com. Hans and the boys have been busy beefing up security at our old watering hole.  Could this mean that a new test is right around the corner?

The e-mail a lot of us knew was coming has arrived, and a quick look through the source reveals that our good buddy Dan is, indeed, on the inside:

A little late to the change so bare with me for a sec.   Reader Sara submitted some screen caps from earlier this morning which show some disturbances on the DharmaWantsYou site.  Click the thumbnails for full size pics.

Before we get too excited about the seemingly nonsensical nature of the letter arrangements (they are not anagrams as far as anyone can tell), think about the ’static’ like distortion in some of the pics.  An indication that a video clip maybe…

Well it is now day… ah screw it.  Who really cares how many days it has been since the false start of the new ARG?  Due to lax security, we already know there is going to be some lame stall-mail circulated tomorrow.  Maybe there will be something hidden in the source code, but then again… maybe not.  Let’s face it, the start of the ARG was plagued with problems.  The servers couldn’t handle the load.  Countless potential players weren’t able…

Looks like Hoodlum is up to their old tricks again.  Thanks to LBDG over at DarkUFO we are able to see the email that is scheduled to be released Friday.  (The email was hosted on DWY.com, but has since been pulled. Thanks Dennis) If you wish to game spoiler-free, please advert your eyes.

The email is from Hans Van Eeghen and details the “security breach” at Comic-Con, saying that “Dan Bronson has been expelled from the volunteer program and had…
