Hi, i'm the guy who uploaded the EHWR vids to YouTube. As I posted there you can still get them all packed in one zip file here: http://www.rapidshare.com/files/41300138/ethanhaaswasright.zip

And yeah, I still think that it has something to do with 01-18-08. Trekmovie.com linked them together for me and they usually have a good connection to Abrams and Paramount (as Abrahms directs the upcoming Trek movie). But of course, I don't know their sources.

So agreed, until 08-01 we should concentrate on the 01-18-08 site.

The real way to make the Haas-related sites and the movie site part of the same thing is to build into the narrative of the ARG that there are followers in Haas inside Hollywood, and they've come together almost under the radar (low budget and all) to make a move dramatizing Haas' predictions. So, even in the context of the ARG, the movie is fictional, but a fiction being made to make a point.

While going through the sledriding.com site and checking the links throughout the site I found a picture of the webmaster, a Steve King.

http://www.missouriscenicrivers.com/SteveK.html

This man is dressed like Van in the videos.

I emailed him and asked if he had a relationship with Ethan Haas or "Van", and in reply he confirmed that he was related to them.

Which is what someone running a fansite would say in order to keep people duped.

Meanwhile, have I missed anyone reporting that they went to Van Mantra's address in Orlando, which exists in Google Maps?

Weird. I found one other reference to the Orlando address listed in Van Mantra's whois record for the ethanhaaswasright.com domain.

http://tomjessicawedding.blogspot.com/2006/11/contact-information.html

Exact same address. But what's there?

It means the address is officially out of game now, I guess. O.o
Maybe the housing development is called cloverfield, or something.

Actually, don't count on it being out of game, at least perhaps not entirely.

The wedding in question includes on Thomas McLaughlin.

That same person (with the same telephone number given on the wedding site), is a contact for a table-top RPG developer. You can see him listed at the company's website.

Coincidentally, the company has a game in development:

Quote:
Our planet is about to become the battleground for otherworldly creatures of incredible power as they wage an ancient war. The End of Times seems to have arrived. Are angels and demons walking among us, or is there a larger chain of events unfolding?


Point being, that perhaps, as someone who is part of a gaming company (although table-top RPG), perhaps McLaughlin was brought in to make use of his address, or some such thing.

Well the game they're making has already entered beta testing a month ago. So I don't think so...

If I'm figuring this right, Thomas McLaughlin appears to be in marketing. So, again, it's possible that perhaps his firm is being used for the purposes of having a real world address in the Cloverfield ARG.
