Well, if we want information, we should probably be careful to ask the right questions. What makes you think this verse's questions are in English?

Dong ma?

FYI, the "Paul Probo" email address being targetted here is in fact the same one that places like IFILM have been hearing from/in communication with. Just got that confirmed.

Ah. That would make sense. Heh.

I don't speak anything other than English...

And I also don't recall it ever being said in the series that Alliance planets speak mostly mandrin. In fact, Mr. and Mrs. Tam seem to speak English and curse in mandrin.

On that note, I need sleep. Will update the thread if I get further correspondance from Paul.

I'm just working on the theory that those two are in-game, and thus in the Firefly verse, where everyone speaks English and Chinese. Maybe they'd be prepared to let something slip if you ask them nicely in the language they prefer.

I know it's crazy and stupid, but it's a thought that's been bugging me, and I figured I'd mention it for the benefit of any Chinese speakers out there. It's one of those things that are "just crazy enough to work, or make me look twelve kinds of moronic."

Thanks for your work on this, BTW. I've been wracking my brain on this for a week.

Something that strikes me as odd about Session 1 - toward the end, River looks away from her interviewer. What's she looking at? It doesn't seem like just a "let me turn my head because I'm thinking about what you just asked me" - I get the feeling there's more to it than that. Especially since River comes right out and tells us the importance of nonverbal communication...

Just a hunch.

There's also a somewhat creepy "dip" in sound right after the interviewer says "You can feel it".

Ah, session 1 is awsome! =D I only hope that someone makes an ARG offa this! I mean, they could manage something like this without video - text transcripts. But if this does turn into an ARG... =D =D =D

EDIT: Both of these videos seem to have come from The Academy. I'm searching around for a site, but I'm short on time here. Just thought I might throw the idea out here to see what others can find. I think an Academy site is the best bet if this is an ARG.

When my sister called me yesterday to say that Dowses had e-mailed her Session one, I so had a Pattern Recognition moment. The way some of the other boards are tearing apart the vids trying to convince themselves if it's fan created or not seem to come directly from the book. I guess William Gibson really does have his finger on the pulse of internet culture.

More on topic, I'm in Omnie's corner. We don't have anything ARGish to work with yet except a couple names. Names of people who seem to not want anything to do with Unf or it's wierd denizens... they don't seem to want anything to do with the clips for that matter. If it does turn out to be an ARG (praying won't help, but I did a bit of it anyway) then there's nothing we can do until they give us something more concrete to work with. We do have the videos to dissect and give up their glory, but being a PXC player for almost a year has taught me a supernatural patience that I can help but transfer to all other things ARGish.

Maybe Dowses or Probo will give up something more, but if you ask me, they don't have much more to give up.
