The "new ARG" is officially CONFIRMED FAKE. Taken from a post this morning at <A HREF="http://whoissimeonhobbes.wordpress.com/" REL="nofollow">whoissimeonhobbes.wordpress.com</A>:<BR><BR> <br /><br />"META Update: And yes, in response to the recent news that this ARG is unofficial, I will confirm it. I do this with great reluctance because “TINAG” is one of the most important rules of the genre, and a Puppetmaster never likes coming out from behind the curtain, even when his legitimacy is called into question. But I felt the need to address it in light of the recent controversy and hijack attempts, because I don’t like the word “hoax.”<br /><br />Playing an unofficial ARG inspired by an official property may be considered a waste of time to those only hoping for the real deal, so to them, I apologize and say farewell. But the truth is that I never envisioned this to be a hoax or a waste of time, at least in the sense that I planned quite a bit out ahead of time and did it because of a genuine love for the ARG medium and the epic story that is LOST. I didn’t do this for the laughs.<br /><br />So on that note, “WISH?” will be continuing. Whether it continues with 20 people or 200 people in light of this recent news doesn’t matter to me, as we’re going to help Elliott find his brother regardless. But in order to distance ourselves the controversy, and leave the way open for a possible official ARG revelation at Comic-Con, please refrain from using the #lostarg hashtag on Twitter. #simeonhobbes will do, in order to prevent any confusion.<br /><br />So there you go. Hopefully this post put an end to a lot of the confusion."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-88857817755932662772009-05-20T03:04:41.121-07:002009-05-20T03:04:41.121-07:00That new Simeon Hobbes vid is morse code but I can't work out the breaks.<br />This is all going Foucalt's Pendulum... some folk are making stuff up and others are helping to perpetuate the lie, wittingly or otherwise, and everyone else is running around in circles...

Too many RL sites run by RL people involved. Some of them have been around for years (like Project27).<br />3. No direction or trail of any kind, just tons of random, cryptic clues leading in a million directions.<br />4. Everything we've seen so far has been on a social network site or other free media. Noone involved seems to have any kind if money.<br />5. It all just seems far too disorganized, messy and low tech to be an official ARG.<br /><br />@2: Epithetalpha, one of the few sources considered "legit", linked us to 27Project, but site owner Howard Dawber has no clue what's going on and the site has been up since 2006. Today new pointless "clues" on the site lead to other unaffiliated RL sites (a Wikipedia entry and a drawing in a blog--the blog owner confirmed he's not involved). Either Dawber added those links to play along, or it's been vandalized.<br /><br />So I'd say some bored students started this and a hacker is playing along, or vice versa.DharmaAndWreckhttp://twitter.com/BigNorsenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-27572595453903725412009-05-19T02:03:00.000-07:002009-05-19T02:03:00.000-07:00As of....well, 5 am EST (why am I still awake?) we've had a lot of activity, including several responses from @FleurDeNoire that might indicate the legitimacy of herself, as well as @edmundloom, and @theCruxAnsatain addition to the previous known "in-game" profiles @elliottgraves, @epithetalpha and @simeonhobbes. So far no knew blogs on Elliott's site, but one retweet from him reaffirming his earlier denial of @Fleur and @Edmund, and @TheCrux. <br /><br />All of @theCrux and @Fleurs updates have related to making a choice, or trying to debunk @Elliott. A twar?<br /><br />May or may not be related, several of us have had conversations with a user @Hotth where he claimed to be The Historian, and told us we'd have to make a choice.

The general consensus agrees with @elliottgraves , @simeonhobbes and @epithetalpha currently considered the legitimate accounts.<br /><br /><br /><br />@esausolon is posting many links to legitimate businesses and stirring a lot whilst @fleurdenoire has engaged in 3 long conversations claiming to reveal much material and asking people to keep secrets. I am almost 100% sure these last two accounts are fake.SabrinaBarrenhttp://twitter.com/sabrinabarrennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-6390714133257406262009-05-18T17:19:00.000-07:002009-05-18T17:19:00.000-07:00More information regards Aegocerus:<br /><br />Aegocerus "goat-horned" was an epithet of Pan.<br /><br />I'm calling it now that Pan and greek/roman methology have something to do with Season 6Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-64183465313561600472009-05-18T16:26:00.000-07:002009-05-18T16:26:00.000-07:00"Check out www.aegocerus.com"<br /><br />Following on, the author of the site is Martin "Myrick".<br /><br />Don "Myrick" was part of musical group the "Phenix Horns" and before that original part of "The Pharaohs"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-30527967884150187912009-05-18T16:01:00.000-07:002009-05-18T16:01:00.000-07:00From simeonhobbes:<br />"May the light of Jacob be with all this day, as we celebrate musical Aegocerus."<br /><br />Check out www.aegocerus.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-71950767258737572812009-05-18T15:54:00.000-07:002009-05-18T15:54:00.000-07:00It's 27project.ORG, not .com.
