So, I think there was some odd advertisement going on during last night's (April 29) episode of Lost (at least here in the US). Black screen, very short flash of a small portion of a scene, then back to black and the words "What have you seen?" fade in on screen.


I can't be entirely certain, but I think that has to do with The Mosaic Collective:

It seems pretty cool so far, though I haven't had time to dig into it yet.

EDIT: spelling error

So who is this Domenico Romagnosi guy on Twitter? Seems ARGish, but I got zippo on a forum search.

ETA: Okay, the more I talk to this guy, the more I think it's an ARG. But my ARG-fu is rusty from long periods of disuse, so I'm not making a thread for it just yet. Anyone who wants to take a look, go to his twitter to see where the conversation starts, and then to my twitter (and the obvious back-and-forth between them) to see the whole conversation. Or some other way that's easier, my Twitter-fu is also weak.

So, I got a rather odd text message earlier today:

Quote:
From: 900080001146

Body:

2of2:s and blowing up anything that does or does not move.


I'm guessing it's supposed to be the second part of some message or other, but I never recieved the first part - and I'm wondering if maybe this has something to do with one of the games currently running, or if it's for a new game.

Any ideas?

ETA:My Google-fu is weak today - all I got for the number was something on Yahoo Answers, and Googling the body text (or fragments thereof) didn't seem to yield anything relevant.

Who is this "mkylefalconer" guy?

He's been throwing what look to be trailhead hints at us for a couple of months, now.

I take this to mean, "Don't call. Answer by computer/email."

Given the prior Illinois connection for the "Murcheson Guide" effort, I'd say the number looks like a phone number for Pleasant Hill, Illinois.
(217) 734-8411

Dunno if this was posted, but I got this in an email with the Subject "Stsring Point"

http://home-of-the-spider.blogspot.com/

That's all it said. The video is called ONE and has WMM text.

Does seem a little odd, but there doesn't seem to be much to it. Did you ctrl-A to see if there was any text hidden in the message? I checked the email address, it's not a sub.

I didn't see any hidden text - just checked. Also, just noticed that there was no adress in the 'To:' field. I'm just gonna chalk this baby up to spam.

Sounds like the right call, yeah. Ah, ARGs, the games that makes you suspect every email of being from an artificial intelligence, kidnappee, super hacker, or a dead person.
