It might make sense if he was giving us an example of how to solve an actual clue in the game, but I've seen nothing else to apply this method to.


I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and take it that this kind of cypher will be used in the game at some point.

But Speaker is really beginning to get on my nerves.

Oh relax, he doesn't owe us anything. That's like being annoyed at me becuase I don't give you any clues. Besides, a lot of people were annoyed when he did give clues because they wanted to work it out by themselves. I think he's probably taken that into consideration, y'know?

There's nothing wrong with The Speaker playing his own games. After all, he still maintains the claim that he's not Damon Lindoff and has nothing to do with Lost... although we all kind of know better. Wink

It's not about being annoyed because he's not giving us clues. Honestly, I don't really care if he gives us real clues or not. It's about being annoyed because he's giving us clues to irrelevant things. The signal-to-noise ratio in this game is already out of whack as it is...

podcast arrives

Message Board at ROT updated.

http://www.retrieversoftruth.com/users/DSLerator/htdocs/audio/DJD061406.mp3
EDIT:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Podcast quick summary:
Subject is mind control - MDMA, PCP, LSD all illegal because the man doesn't want us to have the same stuff he is dumping in our drinking water.

Caller 1 - Dubuque from Alberquerque
Lives close to Los Alamos and feels pressure in his brain constantly. But when his toaster is on it blocks the rays.

Caller 2 - Jerry from Ontario
Dan says "Oh, a Canuck" and Jerry says "We come in peace." (too funny not to post)
Asks if Hanso is all about mind control, DJ Dan says its just the tip of the iceberg. In 1992 they were forcefully ejected from the Congo - DJ Dan makes several clever analogies to indicate that getting ejected from the Congo is like getting fired from McDonald's (that one is my own).
DJ Dan says several of his conspiraspies went deep sea fishing off East Asia to check out Hanso's offshore research platform. They can't see the platform, but can see a skinny little line sticking way up. DJ Dan suggests we put on our foil helmets* (so he must think it's an antenna/transmitter).

Caller 3 - Franklin, bioengineering teacher at Big Ten university
Brings up nanotechnology - DJ Dan plays dumb, then says it sounds awful when it is described. Franklin says billions of nanites in an electromagentic field could float over a wheat field and act as a pesticide. (sounds like some theories of The Monster). Franklin says it would like a storm cloud. Then he says they are tiny, invisible that can kill and think. DJ Dan dismisses him despite this scary conclusion.

*Foil helmets are ineffective

I didn't think so either, but the exchange was too funny.

LOL, thank God for DJ Dan, he's turning out to be the most entertaining part of this Experience... Nice "Ontario" accent, dude, NOT. I should know.

I guess we're supposed to arrive at the conspiratheory that the black cloud in the TV show is made up of killer nanites...

Just got back, I've been gone since yesterday morning. Sorry if my post confused you Gus, what I meant was to keep looking at the ROT page for the podcast, what I found out later from my mole was that it was supposed to be up but they ran late with it.

Going along with what Perko just said, for those of you that have heard it and watch the show
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A long time theory about the black smoke is that they are nanites and are controlled by an electromagnet. This idea has been around since season One I believe. People say this explains the magnetic forces in the hatch along with how the smoke travels and changes direction quickly. It would also explain how you can see images in the smoke. Now the producers have played to peoples theories before so this is either a false clue to throw people off track or maybe someone was right all along. Regardless, the connections between game and show keep growing.

You have a mole?

Tell them to get real Canadians to play Canadians, eh?

Razz

I hope they don't blow the spoilers for everyone in the UK and Auz, they're getting fiendishly close for comfort. I mean, *I* don't need to worry, but the folks overseas need the info as it comes out in the show.

Razz Funniest line I've heard all game.

---

But on a different topic, if we assume that the nanite technology is indeed what the smoke monster is, then that is quite possibly one major spoiler for the upcoming season(s). If the game keeps spewing out spoilers to the show, I'm not sure I'll keep playing. Part of what makes the show great is the intrigue, and I don't want that tainted. Of course, this is if we assume that this was not meant as a red herring of sorts.

Damn you, DJ Dan.

I wouldn't worry too much about show spoilers being released IG. It seems natural that the PMs would want to work in some of the popular fan theories into the game mythology in order to keep interest up, and the DJ Dan show is the perfect vehicle for that. However, due to that program's nebulous nature, I don't think you can trust a single word you hear on it.

The writers have already said it's not a nanite machine.

No spoilers in-game is a relief. But also, I thought the nano-cloud idea was actually one of the best... Bearing in mind some of the ideas that were put forward. I'm just afraid it's going to come to the end and the cloud and/or monster or whatever won't get explained because "it's just one of those things that can't be explained."

That would suck.

But I have faith.
