ARG over, submit Qs to the creators of LOST!!!!
Thanks to the surprisingly number of people who emailed me about the development with the ARG (how people remembered my address will remain a mystery). Looks like Dharma has ended its project, and you will find that the dossiers are now ready for download for recruits!
First off, check out the latest newsletter HERE. So let's break it down for bits of interest. For starters, it appears that Dharma lost its funding once again - and so they've sold the brand to the makers of LOST. They told us to look out for brand promotion, and if you saw my last blog about the logo appearing in a Season 5 trailer, then you'll see the link. Furthermore, I enjoyed that Hans has currently left the country after a broken marriage, heavy casino debts and a string of unfounded police reports - a bit of humor in an ARG never goes awry. Finally, there's mention that Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof will make an announcement...
Well, if you check the newsletter source code, you'll find "DSAqandaatgmaildotcom".... which makes DSAqanda@gmail.com
So if you send an email to this address, you get the auto-reply:
Got a question for the creators of LOST? Submit your question along with your name and hometown, and if selected, Damon and Carlton will answer it in a DSA announcement… that is, if you haven't been a bad Black Swan.
Get emailing people, you haven't got long!! Should questions be Dharma-related only? Or general? Send both I say! Also, let us know what positions you have with Dharma. I'm a "proof reader" in the Communications Division (even though I cheated, 20000+ DP may have helped). What about you?
50 comments:
Hahah my cheat account was a proofreader too - with 0DP. Sorry.
My main account - the White Swan one! - is a radio communications person, so yay I guess.
Emailed my question in :)
I'm a "Research Assistant" in the "Human Interaction Analysis Program".
With a 52 GPA (only cheated some of the time) 0DP
I'm a brick layer
my position is construction
I was picked as a Teacher in the Human Services Division.
Cook! hah
For some reason I don't think this is over yet...the email sounded hokey as heck. The financial crisis? Hans selling cars? Selling it to LOST? Plus this being a month earlier than previously announced?
This may have been a hack by "Black Swan" or RuckusGuy....I honestly think there is more.
I have visited www.dharmawantsyou.com several times today (after receiving the email) and there's nothing there, the page is blank! Anybody knows what's going on?
Psychologist
GPA: 59
Dharma Points: 150
Recommended Department: Human Interaction Analysis Program
my black swan account got brick layer
my white swan account i made at the last minute got cook
"Proof reader" here
They must know our wiki experience Nick ;)
And it's not cheating to put your test on the top of one of the most popular fansites! :P
i got assigned construction :\
GPA of 69 with no cheats. i never made a cheat account.
bleag - hey it got people to do it...
And yeah, I never thought of the proof reader assignment thing. Looks like we have the right personality to be Lostpedians.
Im a "gardener" aparantly but we all know what dharma botanists really get up to, bunny time for me, i think ;)
They put me in the Communications Division as a Cinematographer!
Lmao fergie
I cheated. Bad me. I got Reasearch Assistant in the Human Interaction Analysis group. Not too bad, really. Wonder what I would have gotten without cheats?
the site doesnt work on my mac. previously it worked off and on but now it doesn't at all. and i cant downgrade to flashplayer 9 or whatever, it just isnt working. stupid site -.-
If you can't login to the site, http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html You'll have to uninstall flash first. Super annoying!
I'm a cinematographer, cool b/c I'm an artist anyway. GPA of 57, no cheats.
I'm hoping there's something more to the game than D&C answering a few more fan questions...
I've tried to log in on three different computers using three different connections, and all I get is a blank blue screen. I've been trying for 2 days.
Sigh
Got proof reader aswell, any idea what this is?! cheated on 5/7 tests but dharma points helped i guess...
definitely dont think this is the end, they must have something on their hands!
and has anyone checked out this "dharma rate" mentioned in the email? thought that might have been something of interest... and wat dose dsa stand for?!
Brick Layer, darn. Should I make a White Swan account?
Cinematographer! Didn't use any cheats on any of the stuff- White Swan all the way!
Also I'm running the site on an older Mac and it works fine for me...
I'm a Gardener!
But I quit halfway through the game, it was being boring...
I'm a Cinematographer. I wonder if this means I'd be in charge of making the new orientation videos?
I got Mini Bus Driver as a job... anyone else?
So really over then? I gotta say then, this whole thing was kind of lame.
With a GPA of 58 and 0DP i'm doing construction on infrastructure program...nice. no cheating
I cheated but got assigned a "Research Assistant". Emailed my question in anyway!
So the ARG is over? That's it?
Anyway, I'm a Proof reader
White Swan Carpenter here. Ill be hooking you all up with exceptional island accommodations. :0)
Ironically, my position with the DI is Radio Operator, same as my career right now!
White Swan Psychologist.
It's funny that people got bricklayer, because I've gotten that on real apptitude tests. hah.
I'm a White Swan Psychologist
with a 71 GPA and 0 DP.
And I couldn't make the site work on IE, but it worked on Firefox.
- izi
got brick layer! thats probably the worst job you can have in dharma land... too bad i didn't get workman.
I also noticed at the en of the new ARG email, Hans says "In the meantime may the spirit of the island guide you." Is this the first time the island was made mention of at all in the ARG? just seems a little strange...
it's not over!!!
check out http://www.ajiraairways.com/
there was a screen cap of it on the new season 5 promo on ABC.com!!
Construction worker for me! Oh man!
I'm a radio operator, with a White Swan account. Looks like I'll be the one sending out your messages! By the way did anyone else notice that Hans said he was going to Dubai, and also the references to Ajira Airways? Maybe the island is going to get some new friends, possibly from the Mid East? I can't wait for S5!
White Swan-Cinematographer!! :D
We all will probably get different access to different things ahead of time...
Proofreaders will get announcements/documents that reveal secrets about LOST sent to them for "revision."
Cinematographers will have videos sent to them for review.
Radio communications get calls/texts.
Just a guess, though... i wouldn't know where "brick layer" and "bus driver" would fit in.
Oh, and i didnt have time to make a white swan, so my black swan graduated with somewhere around 80 gpa even after adjustment, and i'm only some lowly proofreader.
i was hoping this game would involve us more in the real world... it seemed like just a bunch of minigames with a common theme.
Gina Perry, your link just goes to the Flash support page.
I searched around and found this page with archived older versions of Flash.

I'm installing Flash 9 now, I'll let you know if this finally works.
Yes! Apparently the site does not work with Flash 10.
Sheesh.
OK, White Swan alias, I'm a Cook in the Human Services division. Black Swan alias, I'm a Proof Reader (and shouldn't that be Proofreader?) in the Communications division.
Funny, because I can't cook at all.
Alright! I'm a mini bus driver! Those things were awsome on the show!
I am a proof reader as well. I cheated and had very little dharma points. :)

I thouroughly believe that it is over and the new ARG is an attempt to please those of us that were about to storm Hoodlums residence with torches and pitch forks.
I'm in construction in the infrastructure division. Which if anybody ever saw me with a hammer, they'd laugh themselves silly.
I think weekly behind teh scenes videos are even better than an ARG, but I have to wonder... is doing this reallz cheaper than doing the ARG? I mean, they still have to run a special web site and they still have to produce new content.
