It's started. Who's playing? I figure it's worth it's own post since it's a side story to the series right now and will continue during the summer after the season has ended to get people worked up for season 3. (ARG? <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_Reality_Game">Alternate Reality Game</a>) 
1-877-426-7674 is the phone number. Lots of options to listen to. #5 is creepy, I wonder what that's going to lead it.  Websites: <a href="http://www.thehansofoundation.org/" target="_blank">http://www.thehansofoundation.org</a> <a href="http://www.oceanic-air.com/" target="_blank">http://www.oceanic-air.com</a>  The book "written" by Henry Gale, dead guy on the show:<a target="_self" href="http://www.garytroupbooks.com/">http://www.garytroupbooks.com/</a>You can buy that on Barns & Noble or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401302769/ref=pd_bbs_null_1/103-5073352-5403808?s=books&v=glance&n=283155" target="_self">Amazon</a> if you want to read it for more info.  This people know (as of this post):On the Hanso Foundation website sign up for the newsletter. When it asks for a password enter breaking strainThen you get sent into the system further.  I guess I can update this post if people play here, otherwise it will just go away and no one will miss it. So, who else is going to get into this ARG?

I listened and it is creepy. But wouldn't Peter Thompson erase the message that Irene left? And why did he say "Namaste" like that? Isn't it supposed to be a peaceful greeting?Is Verizon sponsoring this game?I'm getting sick of everyone saying "Namaste"

<a href="http://www.sublymonal.com/">http://www.sublymonal.com/</a> which is a link you can get to from the Hanso Foundation siteThis is already promoting Sprite? ABC sucks ass. At least limit it to promoting the show and sell ad time to sprite/whoever else.

I know that you get to that picture by going to <a href="http://www.sublymonal.com/">http://www.sublymonal.com/</a> and getting the code, then going to <a href="http://www.thehansofoundation.org/">http://www.thehansofoundation.org</a> and entering that code into Dr Thomas Mittelwerk's bio page, but when I hit enter nothing happens. Is there something I need to click? Do I need to wait for it to be XX:42 on the clock or should I do it when it's normal?<a href="http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/3216/tommittelwerklarge7lh.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/1347/tommittelwerksmall7id.jpg" border="0" /></a>click for full sized version

Just change the clock on your computer to be xx:41, wait 60 seconds for it to start buzzing at you, and then go log in.

So has the lost experience gotten any information out about Hanzo/Witmore's role with the characters on the show or anything on the island?I do know that Persephone/Rachel Blake is looking for Alvar Hanzo, but I haven't seen anything to do with the show directly (I guess they are saving that for the TV show itself)

<a href="http://www.abcmedianet.com/pressrel/dispDNR.html?id=092006_01#" target="_blank">It's offically over.</a>Lost is my favorite show but this "game" has not captured my imagination or attention in anyway like the show has.Alvar Hanso reveals that Rachel Blake is his daughterThe meaning behind the numbers has been revealed: The <a title="Valenzetti Equation" href="http://www.ronfez.net/wiki/Valenzetti_Equation">Valenzetti Equation</a> was a suppressed research project from the United Nations in the 1960s to predict the end of the human race. According to <a title="The Hanso Foundation" href="http://www.ronfez.net/wiki/The_Hanso_Foundation">The Hanso Foundation</a>, Valenzetti's equation resulted in a set of core <a title="The numbers" href="http://www.ronfez.net/wiki/The_numbers">numbers</a> - <a title="4" href="http://www.ronfez.net/wiki/4">4</a> <a title="8" href="http://www.ronfez.net/wiki/8">8</a> <a title="15" href="http://www.ronfez.net/wiki/15">15</a> <a title="16" href="http://www.ronfez.net/wiki/16">16</a> <a title="23" href="http://www.ronfez.net/wiki/23">23</a> <a title="42" href="http://www.ronfez.net/wiki/42">42</a>. By making changes in environmental and human factors, humanity may be saved. This will be indicated by a change in the numerical values of the equation. It has not been revealed what specific date the equation indicates as the end of humanity. The <a title="Black Rock (ship)" href="http://www.ronfez.net/wiki/Black_Rock_(ship)">Black Rock</a> was a 19th-century slave ship owned and captained by <a title="Magnus Hanso" href="http://www.ronfez.net/wiki/Magnus_Hanso">Magnus Hanso</a>, <a title="Alvar Hanso" href="http://www.ronfez.net/wiki/Alvar_Hanso">Alvar's</a> grandfather. <a title="DHARMA Initiative" href="http://www.ronfez.net/wiki/DHARMA_Initiative">DHARMA</a> has been revealed to be an acronym for Department of Heuristics and Research on Material Applications. Season 3 and beyond is supposed to go a lot deeper, dealing with things that happened way before the 1970's - 80's period that this Hanzo/Dharma stuff began. The 4 toed statue was the first taste of this. I guess The Black Rock will be the thing that connects that stuff with the Hanzo stuff in the late 20th century.

I read a recap of the ARG.  Seems that the tv show is considered fictional or something, according to the ARG, so that the TV writers can disregard everything that was revealed in the ARG.

lippy wrote: could someone refresh my memory and tell me who rachel blake is again? No one really, she showed up as the main character in the ARG. She was trying to find Alvar Hanzo, hacking the Hanzo web site, showing up at Comic Con, etc. The game was to reveal pieces of the final video of her's. I doubt that she will have a role on the Lost TV show itself.I won't really consider anything from the ARG to be part of the world of Lost until it's mentioned on the show somehow.How many more seasons of Lost are there supposed to be? They don't know. It's up to ABC and the ratings. This is the thing that sucks about Lost. Catch 22 is that without ABC there wouldn't be a show, but with ABC they show may end up going too long and sucking (like the X-Files) The writers/creators of the show could map out a cool story line that makes sense and works dramatically, but they have been forced to just "wing it" while having an end game in mind. So there are things that have been planned since the beginning and there are other things that are just made up as they go along.The good thing is that the writers/creators have said that they don't introduce something without knowing where they are going with it. So when Boone dropped that flashlight on the hatch in season 1, they knew there was a guy in the hatch below them.

I wonder at what point will people start to grow tired of Lost, but given that American Idol is getting ready once again to tell people what music to buy..

On the show and ARG, it seems that everyone associated with the Hanzo Foundation says it. And a lot of people in the lost fan community picked it up.So it's not happening in real life.

There is supposed to be an end game: How the story resolves and the reason the show started. Why these people are on the plane, What is really going on etc)The story line isn't mapped out which could cause issues, but the fact that they have a complete story in mind is a good thing. When they do make something up they do know where it's going, but it's not always something that was planned from the beginning of the show (Like Jack not dying. That was the plan, that was changed quickly)
