Darius Algernon I did search so I apologise if I'm duplicating something from somewhere else.
http://twitter.com/DariusAlgernon
He hasn't got any followers yet, but with a tag like #ARG and chatter in code I think it's clear who he's aiming at.

I'm at work at the moment, haven't time to really look at it, but thought I'd throw it up for people's attention.

Sole person he's following is a Vanessa Elin...

...who happens to be following Algernon and Elan Lee from Fourth Wall Studios.
So that compounded with the #ARG tag... Subtlety strikes again. Yeah, I'd call this an ARG.

This is a Bionic Woman ARG, I think.
Unless they are using a copyrighted image, in which case, thy are going to get sued if this is a commercial advertisement.

If this is Fourth Wall Studios, I'm a bit surprised -- not what I would have expected after all the talk of the RIDES platform (although I guess that can be addressed if/when the twitter leads to a central site)
Odd to be working with a cancelled tv show, if this is tied with the Bionic Woman. Lot of questions that should result in some interesting answers.

I don't think it's Fourth Wall... that link is too blunt and obvious. If you're going to acknowledge your involvement, you link to the company... not a person.
As for Bionic Woman... that show's been cancelled for three years, so I seriously doubt it's related. Image might be chosen simply for the eye; I don't think the legality of it is much a concern.
This is something different, something new.

"cycles ready"
"dump heat sink"
Elan wouldn't allow that level of implausibility out the door.
Sounds more like a Douglas Adams nod.

The funky tweet formatting makes me nostalgic for Intimation. *sniffle*
A couple of tweets today about a princess and an officer (if she were sleeping I'd call it an ILB reference):

We are two ships passing in the dark. I am a princess. He is the officer.

Haven't found a blog on the subject yet, but I do see there's an Algernon Darius on Facebook...

My thoughts were that a goog blog would be a blogger/blogspot blog.
I haven't found anything yet though.

//Begin VE-7 Entry
...
How long it has been, since we played this game.
Who trapped me here? My memory is dark and it is cold, fearful and frightening, yet in it is my salvation and my rapture.
If I could get back to him. If I could get back to Earth. Everything would right itself; of this much I am sure. The cataclysm on the horizon; a black swan fluttering, obscured by the jagged rays of sunlight, waits. It will disrupt everything.
When the bricks and the mortar begin to crumble, I hope they are ready.

I actually found this blogspot via this wiki which mentions our characters: http://fyreball.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_One_One
I haven't read through all of this yet, but it seems we have here a continuation/sequel of a game played out on fyreball back in 2008.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fyreball
Quote:
Fyreball was an e-mail alternative start-up founded by Pete Parsons and Jordan Weisman. It was a media content sharing tool designed for the Internet.
This is another blogspot mentioned in the Echo One One wiki: http://113008.blogspot.com/ It has no new updates, so it may not be part of this new story.

Guh... So this is an ARG associated with Jordan Weisman and we didn't hear about it until now?!? We're slacking, guys!
If you don't know who Jordan Weisman is... You should! And that certainly explains the Elan Lee connection.
According to the Wiki, a lot has happened in the past week.

I'm confused Nighthawk, the last update I see on the Echo One One wiki was July 5, 2008. I'm I missing something?
I'm not yet convinced that Mr. Weisman is behind this; I was simply pointing out that the previous game was played on his site which is now defunct. I'm not looking to peek behind the curtain anyway.

Yeah, that wiki's dead, dead, dead.
I don't think it's necessarily tied to Weisman either, but it's funny how he does seem to have his fingers in all sorts of pies. (...couldn't resist, it IS Pi Day)
I wonder if this story will continue on from what happened in the Fyreball ARG, or if it'll diverge.

Urk! It started MAY 7th... I somehow read it as March and didn't notice the year.
Never mind. The info on the Wiki is long passed. Is this a reboot then?
I'm confused.
