 [SPEC] 12-09-07 Possibilities
expectations - Hanssens gift, our surprise??

What will December 9, 2007 bring and who the booty truly be for??

* Nothing to do with us?? (we're so greedy) Embarassed

* Some type of clue to maintain the momentum of the unwinding viral campaign?? Worshippy

* A sexy negligee?? Censored

* A DVD or theatrical trailer?? Rolling Eyes

* A six flavor Slusho! kit?? Screwy

* Possum fur nipple warmers...

If this topic causes enough speculation of it's own it shall survive...
if not, let it die R.I.P.

It obviously would be important, you don't just give out a date to open a "present" to a clue-hungry mob.

How is this a clue hungry mob? There are only about 15 - 20 consistent posters. That's more like a drop in a ocean.

While it may not be considered a clue-hungry mob, it was only because there were no big finds for a long time...

Many people have come back.

And the fact remains that you never mention a date in such a thing as a video aimed to your audience in an ARG unless it's important.

Wait - where did we get this date, again? I'm gone for eight hours and I miss everything...

EDIT: Nevermind, it was on the new video at J&T.com. Sorry 'bout that.

I'll sway towards an IG clue for now, maybe a negligee or teddy bear as the gift for her
w/ another clue towards the last viral site for us somewhere in vid 3 when she broadcasts it.

I can't see how (or why) they would mingle an outright freebie for us (teaser, trailer, etc.) out of that little box in her vid.
That type of ARG writing seems drier than a popcorn fart.
Whoevers been writin' so far is slicker than greased owl shit and if they did that they'd graduate to an intellect rivaled only by garden tools.

Seems a good chance they'll give us the subsidiary viral sites one at a time w/ the last one up and runnin' on the 6th, 7th, or 8th of December.
This way we would find it on (or around) the 9th.

It's either that or possum fur nipple warmers - period...it starts gettin' chilly in NY come December.

You forgot to multiply that number in order to get the number of lurkers. And in this particular game, where half the posts get replied with a huge Trout (not judging, most of them deserves it) the number of lurkers overwhelms the number of posters. Yet we are clue hungry. And mob-y if the stimuli is right.

But since I'm already posting, lets Spec a little. What if the date is bogus? That girl doesn't look like the patient type. Maybe she won't resist and open the gift earlier. Probably just wishful thinking, but who knows? it may happen.

If the present is for us, and it is, in some way, shape, or form, another trailer, I will be upset. Getting a trailer a little more than a month before the actual film is irritating, in my opinion. I really don't know what I will be.

Honestly, as far as the monster goes (though the 'present' may be a toy of the monster), I think we will have to wait till the film to see it. But in terms of trailer and title, we'll see.

I just want something BIG. RIGHT NOW. I am a patient man, but sometimes, viral = insane. *takes deep breath*

I'm rooting for the present to be, in one form or fashion, the title.

No more new viral sites...
That would be so...

lame...I don't know why I had this thought.
I can't seem to shake it right now though. Crying or Very sad

I'm really looking forward to a ParafFun Wax site for entertainment value if nothing else...

Yoshida Medical and Bold Futura would prove to be valuable in terms of shedding some light as to exactly how
these secrets under the ocean are integrating into all of these exclusive tecnologies that Tagruato is implementing,
as well as providing a more elaborate background to the increasingly ominous tone that's being cast.

I better not be having a premonition of sorts here concerning us receiving all the virals we're gonna get or I'm gonna be madder than a one-legged waitron at an IHOP. Evil or Very Mad

I voted US, but I wish BOTH was an option.

Hopefully this does not mean we are not going to get anything new until then Foily!

I think it's definitely a gift for her, not "us". It will not be a theatrical trailer, Dec 9 is a Sunday new releases come out on Friday.

However, a new trailer could be shown Sunday night, December 9 on TELEVISION. That would make a lot of sense as Sunday night TV is either the largest or second largest viewing night of the week and I notice movie trailers seem to be advertised on TV about a month or so before they are released. Only problem is most TV shows in December are in reruns, but if it's a trailer, it's going to be on TV, not movie or internet.

However, my best guess is the gift is something like concert tickets or a ticket to a sporting event. The box is light, she spins it throws it around so it doesn't appear to be anything fragile. Anyone know who her favorite band or sports team is (I don't do My Space)? Maybe checking Ticketmaster would yield some info on who is playing in the NYC area that weekend.

Either that or…"The Head of Teddy Hanssen!" Shocked

hahaha!

"What's in the box?!"
"Become Wrath, Jaimie.."

Her Birthday is Dec. 25th, don't forget. Makes the Dec. 9th date all the more odd.

It all makes sense! Teddy gets into trouble becuase he was secretly texting Jamie from Tagruato Corp HQ in Japan! Laughing

One thing's for sure, if it is for "us" it would be the first thing we got from the Slusho 7 other than confusion.

seeing as i missed the poll. I think the contents of the box is a note.... the note will contain a message which will freak jamie out. She will find out that Teddy is not in fact teddy but a stalker with a voice changing device who is intent on making her life hell for giving him a STD or something.

either that or..... the present is nothing more then another teddy, a small one and something totally not worth the anticipation and waiting. Razz
