>: OGR Spoilers - Pre-released Email with Warning

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 his Dharma membership permanently revoked... [and the] Dharma Initiative has withdrawn their sponsorship of 'LOST'." 

Could this mean that we will not be seeing anymore of Mr. Bronson or is he going to take up some kind of Rachel Blake vigilante approach to the game?

Also, "The Dharma Initiative... has ordered a security audit of all departments.  As a part of this audit the DharmaWantsYou recruiting website will be undergoing a security upgrade in the next few days"

Seeing as this email was already leaked they are off to a poor start.

"Upon completion of this upgrade a date will be announced for the official commencement of Volunteer Assesments."

Finally, we will be getting some kind of time frame!  Although this will most likely lead to major site downtime at the launch of the assesments.

The part that I find the most interesting is the last bolded paragraph:

"All recruits are reminded that the unauthrorized release of confidential information pertaining to the details of your activities within the Dharma Initiative will result in instant dismissal from the volunteer program"

This may just be an idle threat only pertaining to the Dan Bronson Breach, but I think its a warning to the folks picking apart the site (aka all of the game blogs).

All in all this email has providied some interesting insight into what to expect in the months ahead.

FWIW, the email has already been pulled from the DWY site.

Yeah, I found that bold paragraph to be a bit odd. Can an ARG really be complete these days without blogs picking up the pieces and running with it?

Only two words: Lame start.

I think it is obvious it was leaked for a reason, and the most significant part says why it was...The fact that so many people had problems with the site loading and whatnot has made them refigure some stuff and whatnot...that is why it said what it said, and I think once all is fixed they will start the game again.,.just my opinion

I believe it's just a ploy... with the first Lost ARG it was with rachel blake and all that, where we HAD to pick apart everything. Look at the source code for little hints, "hack" into certain things... that was part of the game.


Why would they change the rules like that, when they have all ready conditioned us to look in the spots that they don't want us to look...

Just an idea.

dragossh said:

I agree. They won't dismiss anyone. That would be a stupid thing for them to do.

drew said:

are you guys taking that email serious? you do realize its all part of the game right?

Koobie said:

Its an ARG meaning Alternate Reality Game, so no we aren't taking the emails seriously.

The point was me trying to pull some fun out of this failure of a launch, but apparently I failed :D
