In all this furor over the hacking, has anyone emailed Blogspot about it? Since we don't really have a way to contact the PMs in an OOG sense to apprise them of the situation, that's the next best avenue. if it's an OOG hack, you'll probably get a response and the page will simply and without any disturbance be restored to it's previous state. If it's an IG hack, the Alyse will probably post about it - much as Tagruato posted about the hacks by TIDOwave.


unfortunately, blogger doesn't care too much about hacks that aren't directly affecting their servers. malicious comments and hacked blogs normally don't get a response other than... "we'll look into it."

 New Post!

HOLY SHIT THERE"S AN UPDATE!!!!

GO GO GO!!!!

And She Mentions the Attacks on Manhattan!!!!

She's post May 22...

I think The Summary thing was a prank by the ARE people to see if we're paying attention, that's why the site is fixed and updated now.

No One Is ON!?

Also, Lulz at first Email. "Hello, My name is Vincent Volker" "I hid their names to protect them" Alyse missed that, possibly on purpose.

CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG!!!!
Quote:
In early 2007, Tagruato Corporation was working on a project that only the highest level officers in the company could access. I myself to this day have not been aware of the nature of the project. I do know that most of the products that are manufactured by Tagruato are a direct result of this project. For our ease of lecture we'll call this project "Cloverfield". Or as designated by the high offices of Tagruato Corporation. Cloverfield is the reason i believe Teddy has gone missing.

Origins of 'Cloverfield'

And then This, The Stuff that Teddy Sent Jamie (Seabed Nectar)
Quote:
Right before he quit, Teddy told me that the had managed to smuggle a sample of a new wax which by his understanding, came from Cloverfield. He mentioned this wasn't like the normal nano-wax we were working with. This new wax was able to not only repair itself, but also living organisms around it.


AND THEN THE SECOND LETTER

Quote:
I was going to go see the leader on the 21st, but then there was that big media blitz. Noone allowed in or out of Manhattan. I saw a news report saying some sort of terrorist attack had happened, so I gave up all chance of finding Miranda.


21st...that day NYC was attacked by MGP...They did some heavy cover ups, MGP may have just ran back into the ocean after hammerfall, rather than staying around to destroy more. Maybe Tired and Hungry.

Ok: Things we learn from the May 19th update:
1.Cloverfield is the term used by Tagruato regarding the monster. So now we know why the incident is called case designate cloverfield. The US government is aware of Tagruato's involvement, not just "interested".
2. The seabed nectar is a living organism. Thats not too gross regards to Slusho as Yogurt has active cultures in it too. The seabed nectar seems to have some other wax-like purpose.
3. Teddy may be missing due to his advanced knowledge of "cloverfield" and Tagruato's involvement. He may be alive, or killed by Tagruato because he knew too much. Remember, another biologist from Tagruato was killed earlier in the ARG.
4. This is the first time the attack is mentioned (second e-mail). The dates still don't perfectly correspond as it seems the second writer went to NY in December. Gee thats a surprise, the dates don't match. UNHEARD OF IN THE CLOVERFIELD ARG!.
5. The second writer's sister worked for the government, so the government (US I'm assuming) was well aware of the issue before the attack. That may explain the night-vision pictures on 1-18-08 as PRE-ATTACK on NY. That matches everything so far, most stuff is pre-attack on the ARG.
6. Last, the scientist tells us they were working on pathogens. Pathogens are infectious agent, or more commonly germ, is a biological agent that causes disease or illness to its host. I'm thinking this: They were working pathogens to kill the monster IN CASE it escaped.

Correction, CLOVERFIELD is TAG's term for the Seabed Nectar.

Also, the PATHOGENS could be related to WHY people explode when bitten!
As I've Expressed Before, My belief on the reason why people explode is Rapid Generation of Cells, possibly red ones, to the point that the body bloats and explodes, this is similar to the mentioning of the seabed nectar healing other things, if regeneration goes haywire...you asplode.

Second Email only says "Went on Holiday" Does not distinguish if she just went on a holiday, then later went to see head of TAG.

Here's what the letter says exactly: "For our ease of lecture we'll call this project "Cloverfield". Or as designated by the high offices of Tagruato Corporation"

So yeah, in essence, we're not clear on that directly. I'm assuming here since "cloverfield" is the top secret thing, and Deep Sea Nectar is already known in the company, the monster is the designated "cloverfield" secret.

He does state He discovered it in 2007, IG is 2009. Cloverfield could have been designated back when they found the Seabed Nectar, logically Cloverfield makes more sense for a bunch of nectar/plant life on the ground for harvesting, also he makes this statement.

Slusho! is the key product we mainly know of, which contains seabed nectar.

FINALLY! It's only been 2 friggin' weeks!!! Very Happy

To add to sp103's list,

He mentioned this wasn't like the normal nano-wax we were working with. This new wax was able to not only repair itself, but also living organisms around it.


Assuming this new wax is the seabed nectar, maybe it's MGP's defense mechanism? Waxy goo that repairs itself and has living organisms (read: parasites) around it? It could explain why MGP was invincible.

A question about the attack: How the eff could the government cover a monster attack as a terrorist attack? Several news stations reported what happened, isn't that how Rob's mother found out? It also makes you wonder why the US government would WANT to use a terrorist attack as a coverup. Is there some under-the-table business going on between Tag and the government?

Sorry if I'm not making sense, it's late and I'm hyped up on confusion!

Good point. It's probably why they have other subsidiaries. They don't want people to know the same ingredient for Slusho! is also a wax sold to companies. It appears Tagruato is using false pretenses here, they do not really want to find oil, but more Seabed nectar. I'd assume they sell oil as a cover-up for their true purpose.

I just noticed something. It seems that all the comments that people have sent her (including ones that directly refer to the Cloverfield movie, the guy even told her to go visit Cloverfieldclues.com, haha) have been accepted. I'm not sure if this means anything in particular, but it's making me feel a bit sketched out by the website. Random hack, a post with a lot of information suddenly appearing, and now all the comments. What do you guys think?

so let me get this straight, by not allowing anyone to enter or leave Manhattan during the attack, the whole giant monster thing was covered up to status of terrorist attack? What about all the cell phones, news coverage, cameras from across the bay?

No one got a fully clear shot, that's the whole point, Hud's camera was the only thing that got a good enough look at him for the government to need to keep from being leaked, everyone else only got minor glimpses and since people won't entirely believe the mass of gray on the screen is a monster, it's not too hard to believe, especially since it's NYC.

Also, Who said MGP's assault wasn't a Terrorist Attack?

I tend to believe that the movie is just a piece of evidence, like #1949 out of 5,000 leaked onto something like Youtube.

That's plausible...if we already didn't see the list of evidence from the USGX List.

I can see MGP's attack being seen as a terrorist attack, but considering the understanding of what a terrorist attack is (especially in the US), I think there has to be some sort of differentiation between terrorist and a giant monster.

I thought there were plenty of good shots. The news reports showed a clear shot of the tail hitting the Brooklyn Bridge, they reported MGP inbetween buildings moving around (and it didn't look like a mass of gray), and then the parasites. First time we see the parasites is when the news is reporting them and they start attacking soldiers.
