 Is it Mysterio who is behind the trailer clues?

If it is Myst, then he didn't come through today... so bummed.

I wasn't following this from the beginning, but I think the things put at the end of the trailers are put there by...Paramount?
The first message was to give us a window into the world, rather than one character using it to communicate with another. We just happen to be silently observing the interactions between them, which could have been going on before the site name was even teased.

I could be totally wrong here, that's just how I see it.

I don't know if it's mysterio, Paramount or an evil kladrog slipping them in there, but they have to be putting them there for us. No one else in the general public (in their right mind) would be picking the trailers apart by the microsecond to check for clues. It doesn't seem like all these pics are being placed and replaced for our viewing pleasure only.

EDIT: I guess someone could be using the trailer to upload info to someone else - and we're just bystanding observers. (Is this what you meant Slusho Addict?) But still - they must hold some kind of clue(s).

Dunno Xeno.. That would be mixing 1979 with todays ARG. I view these snippets from the trailers as a similar thing to the Cloverfield ARG where we had those pics on 1-18-08 that led us to other places. Remember, the first clue was the letters at the tag of trailer 1 .. STIES..
If Josh were watching the trailers for the film to get these tiles, he would know what all this was about now..
But we can see why they made a point of saying "dont speak of this.. if you do, they will find you"

This explains why the 'tale of Lillian and the Super 8 alien story' was not passed down to future generations..why Josh and everyone else dosent know anything about it..and why all the secrecy with Mysterioso worrying that 'they' are looking for Josh now that the PDP 11 has been reactivated. Its another Roswell in Lillian in 1979 and the story died there never to be told again.. till June 10th 2011..

Melodyman;

Thanks for your input--I wasn't here for the fun and frivolity that was Clover, and I follow you that probably most of the jigsaw pieces (with the exception of the black and white pics--they're very questionable and I feel may relate to A. Minker and Myst) are related to the 1979 "Lillian" incident (or should I say "non-incident?").

I guess that if this is an ARG, the PMs seem to have stepped outside of the ARG (by releasing the jigsaw pieces) through channels that they have in the past--STIES, HLM.

We all played along with the lettering from the first trailer. OK, so that led us to STIES. More trailer are released, and I guess there's a part of me that wants to believe that like the 1st trailer that led us to STIES and Myst, the snippets that are coming out now are what? Part of a continuation of the that, with Myst being the man behind the curtains, and if not, the PMs just dumping the clues "out of game?" I don't know if that's making any sense, talking is easier for me, but do you get where I'm coming from in this?

This is obviously "in-game" but it just doesn't seem to make any sense as an ARG to just flush clues out to us and not play by the rules (better yet, roles) that you've set up for your intended audience. I mean it's great that we're finally getting something to sink our teeth in, but surel not at the cost of continuity with the ARG they've started?

It's late and my fibro and I are dueling.
