I would hope that we're not missing anything due to people keeping it secret.

Most who are familiar with the ARG format know that without sharing information there is no game.

I have created a Story so far thread, please feel free to let me know if I have missed any information or if there are any gaps in the timeline.

All communication I have received has been shared, and any information I have seen from other players has also been included and credited.

I would guess that with few exceptions most ARGs involve only dedicated fans. The Why So Serious events are probably the biggest thing of this type to ever hit the more general public, but then look at the marketing power behind it. While this has been a great deal of fun, I don't think it will have had much effect on bringing new people into the audience. I'd be a little surprised if that was even the plan, considering some of the clues.

And while some of the communication has happened over private email, I don't think any of the players have tried to keep anything hidden. I'm pretty certain all the information related to the game has been posted in this thread, and any of the characters could have been contacted by anyone. Information has been posted here about as quickly as its been discovered.

This is the first ARG I've really been involved in (though I've been aware of them for some time) so perhaps that colours my perspective.

Also, there have been consistent hash tags used on Twitter and while the in character chat isn't happening as much there the last couple days, the ooc discussion is still going on.

At this point, nothing is really going to save the show. This seems to be a gift for the fans who held on the whole time and to tide us over while it is off the air. Supposedly something from the ARG is going to feature into the next episode which airs on Dec. 4th.

- The warehouse seems to be close to the 59002 zip code. Still not sure if the number is important *as* a zip code. Seems to me like returning to the warehouse would be a good idea.

- I think William Morley is William Morrow. William Morrow was involved in the experiments to do with case 59002, an enthusiastic scientist of "dubious morals." Robert went to watch over him in the nursing home where Morrow was currently living. Morrow then died of an apparent cardiac arrest.

- From the email I received the other day (posted in this thread), "Bobby believes that the other two persons may have knowledge in that regard as well, however we do not have contact information for them."

- last I knew Sara was trying to get a sample of the rose / rose hip from WTF and still looking around Tuscon. She apparently told chixor she was investigating the rubble site today, but didn't seem to say what she found, if anything.

- Believe RH is currently MIA.

- My impression is that Matt wants to do good by Alex after having done much wrong, but I think he may be misguided at best. (And a trap at worst.)

- Had a ton of avenues to explore re Syr/Freyja, but nothing to really indicate the right one.
