Has anyone gone to thehansofoundation.org and gone to Alavr Hanso's page? Click on his picture. Kind of wierd.

Also, there'd been an update to the Life Extension Project page:

Heh. They refer to the guy as Einar Ragnarsson first, then as Einarsson. Perhaps it's two people. Perhaps Einarsson is Ragnarsson's son.

Or perhaps they should proofread more carefully.

Not exactly sure how it was first found, but looks like some ARGish things have been going under our noses all week! The bulk of the discussion begins around this page (if you're up for a long read)

At one of the Lost forums someone pointed out http://polar.kingcrossstatepolice.com/.

At Kraftkost.com I found this (in the source):

I would say the Krafkost thing isn't necessarily real, only because of the misspelling of Dharma and the capitalization of Lost.

I took it upon myself to deal with the long string of numbers at the bottom of the source code the Alvar Hanso "bio" page.

I know that Lucent posted about finding a password in reversed ASCII on this page, but here's what I found in the ASCII code on the alvarhanso page (spaced for readability)

Pick up a copy of USA Today from December 21, 2005. Check out the Life section, page 4D, the article all the way at the bottom.

could you maybe scan or perhaps link to what article you mean online {i would do it myself, but you did not give the NAME of the article}.

{{that being said, i hope this isn't yet another article on the two chicks who were arested for drunk driving... but releveant to the mysteries at hand}}

Oh, sorry about that, I'm not really following this one, but I glanced over it in todays paper and it did one of those "Flashback of important stuff" things. Anywho, here's the link to the article: http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2005-12-20-lost-online-specuation_x.htm

I find it completely amazing that such a high profile ARG has been going on and we havent even NOTICED it.

Anyone know whats going on in the story so far? Im kinda walking into the middle of the story and its tought to concieve....

Im sure this is some kinda puzzle just cant figure it out. The x might be making out some kinda pattern.

I don't think it went unnoticed - i think most of us don't care right now, as there is enough sanctioned stuff going on. Personal viewpoint.

I'm not so sure this is an ARG, to be honest. It seems to me that if this was an actual ARG, Dr. Marvin Candle wouldn't be commenting on things we're seeing on episodes of the show. I've never played an ARG that had a successful television show running alongside it, of course, but I get the impression it's nothing more than a creative and relatively original (for mainstream sake) way to use the internet as a means to entertain viewers and create an even stronger fan base.

If this was an ARG, it seems to me there would be more puzzles, more interaction with characters, less talking about things that are happening in the show and more talking about Alvar Hanso and that whole situation. We're getting bits and pieces on that, but i believe that's only as a teaser so viewers know what is coming up in the show.

By the way, long live metacortex! heh.

[CreativeEmbassy]

I hate to bring up something that many people don't think is an ARG and would rather let die. But what the hell. I received an IM earlier from someone, it's also on that thread.

[Pixiestix]

personally, i don't think it is related.

on a related note - the hanso page is gone, has been for about a week and a half now.
