Edit #2: ----> Russian Newscast Video?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTXQVOs3Kxs


I was searching on Google Videos / YouTube for 'Chuai' recently added and stumbled upon a Russian version? But it seems to have been removed...

Search for "Нападение на платформу Чуай" without quotes in YouTube...

Is this a dupe? I thought I have read everything on the post...

Edit: Here is the user who posted it, I believe you can now view the video:
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=matrozzzkin


Hmm, now that one could be fake, seems to offer nothing new.

Also, the user joined like, an hour ago.

I agree, although I certainly don't speak Russian Very Happy

Edit: Although when you look at the YouTube users other videos... there is one about fish and one about Russian(?) military? All added about an hour ago.

This is new.
This is from the same source media as the others.
If this is OOG, they all are.


I'm surprised that you are declaring this in-game so quickly. I see a lot of discrepancies with this video:

1. Account creation date - All the accounts for the other videos were made in 2006, this one was created 2 weeks ago.
2. Upload date - The video was uploaded today... enough said
3. Other videos - The other accounts had other videos in them, I guess to make it seem more real (The german account has 18 videos!). This one has no other videos.
4. Memo - The memo is in Japanese in the other videos, but it is in English in the Japanese version??!?!?!
5. The Source - the person that posted it here was his first post, and seemed a little defensive when questioned about it:

Teddy is not Leclerc's son. Teddy's last name is Hanssen, and he is from Iceland, not France.

We've never confirmed that the YouTube account is IG, and if it was it doesn't help to prove the idea that they should share last names.
Icelandic naming doesn't use inherited surnames. His father would be Hans.


The Teddy Hanssen YouTube account was created right before Teddy was mentioned in Jamie's blog. I guess they decided not to use it (yet?), but I'm confident that it is IG.

 		I emailed in Japanese, the person who posted the Japanese video to ask how they received it.
Still awaiting a reply, but since it's midnight here in Japan, I don't expect one for a while.

 		You can definitely hear the Russian guy mentioned "Chuai" and "Tagruato". Could someone put that together that quickly?

Just for some perspective. When international news is involved, such as something happening in the Atlantic, on Japanese news shows, they will more often than not show memos or papers in English with a Japanese voiceover and often subtitles too.
This looks very much like an authentic Japanese news report and I personally think it's far too professional to be OOG.

It looks much more authentic than the Japanese version. At least there is a newscaster. I agree about the date.

Why does the Japanese one look fake? It looks like a real newscast from Japan.

To me it just looks like a picture of two birds, probably a male and female version, perched on a branch.


Aw crap, I see that now... feeling the fool... lol

 		The names in the English memo turn up a few hits on Google, but nothing that seems IG. There is a Dr. Paul Nightingale who is a professor (formerly an industrial chemist) at the University of Sussex in the UK. Although his areas of interest could theoretically have him involved at Chuai, I think this is definitely OOG.

Oddly, there's also an obituary for a Donald Carter who
Quote:
worked in the oil fields until retiring in 1988
. Clearly OOG, but kind of ironic nevertheless.

I also searched Myspace for the names in the memo, but didn't see anything that looked related.

 		wow, looks like the online campaign is also targeting the other parts of the world with these mulit-lingual videos, kudos to the pm, I wish there was one in my native language though *hint*hint*

IMO, it doesn't look professional, and what you said about the memo doesn't make sense to me. I understand if the other videos had English memos, that the Japanese one would use the same memo, and use Japanese voiceover and subtitles. But the other videos have Japanese memos... Wouldn't they use the same memo so they wouldn't have to translate it?

Something doesn't seem right about Tagruato issuing Japanese press releases to the rest of the world, but an English press release to the Japanese news Confused

As I said, most Japanese news reports will show memos in English when related to an international story.
The rest of the video looks exactly like any Japanese news show, with all the subtitles, etc.
In Japan, the newsreader is not shown as often as they are in the West, especially for serious stories.
I was watching a report last week, in Japan about someone who had been killed, and in the 15 minutes of reporting, not once did they show a reporter, but everything else looked just like this video.
