 [INFO] Quick Reference Guide - Act One

[Huginn]

Re: [LOST] Quick Reference Guide

[thebruce]

Just a quick list of believed in-game sites (due to ingame site references):

www.valenzettifoundation.org (references widmore and GPC)
www.widmorelaboratories.com (references Dharms)
www.globalparadigmscorp.com (references Hanso)

through a bit of digging, Enrico Valenzetti also links to
Caroline Bella ( http://www.angelfire.com/planet/carolinebella/ )
- with an image with an autograph for Enrico
- the email at the bottom indicates the site was made by him
this site also links to his favourite author:
S.K.Nave ( http://www.angelfire.com/rings/mygrandmothersbooks )
- this site however, seems to be made by Rachel Nave, though the style is still fully Enrico's style (mimicking his Caroline Bella site)

I'm pretty sure this is getting OOG, it's just still suspicious is all. There are no references to in-game sites in Enrico's angelfire webspaces.

(Your moderator here, butting in, because i can, to say that those first two URLs in this post are KNOWN to be FAN-made sites and are NOT in-game -- catherwood)

There is also some interesting information in the US thread about the Bad Twin book release, a video clip with an interview from the author found on Amazon.com.

Might be ingame, if not interesting, to say the least.

I'm drawing up a map of sites and connections to see if all this 'Valenzetti trail' (thread) seems legit... if any link to known in-game sites is suspect, and all self-referenced sites fall within that little bubble, then it likely is all just fan-made... but that is a lot of work...

but that would reduce the number of ingame references solely to:

www.garytroup.net
www.thehansofoundation.org
and the various store links to the book Bad Twin (and the video and audio links)

otherwise, even widmore.com may be suspect, since the url hasn't specifically been referenced in-game. Just "Widmore" (or Widmore Industries)

(correct me if I'm wrong on any of these facts

Australian Details

[jegger]

You're right on, thebruce. I think that we're limited to Gary Troup and THF at this point.

[Huginn]

Just as a bit of a follow up, I can confirm that at the end of MI:3, the last 'special thanks' is to the Hanso Foundation. But it seems the connections end there (I was hoping Jun would randomly pop up when they were running though china )

Still, a cool shoutout, but not worth listening to Kanye rap for 10 minutes after the fact.

[thebruce]

also found - a link to some letters between Gary Troup and his Australian publisher on Bordersstores.com (site containing Gary Troup's interview video part 2/9)

(src thread)

[thebruce]

also, if staying up to date, you may want to add links to the in-game sites thread, and info about the video links...

plus maybe links to relevent wikis... there are a few now, not sure which is specific to just this arg, and not Lost the show or other more generic Lost wikis just covering the arg.

ie, we need one specific wiki that the community can dedicate to the arg, if it doesn't already exist. Too many resources just get confusing.

[Huginn]

http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page - lost pedia (great resource)
http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Thehansofoundation.org (Has information we don't even have)

[thebruce]

all the info for THF.org on that wiki has been detailed at some point in these forums... didn't see anything new. lostpedia.com is useful, but is this the wiki we (everyone) is using to track current info as it's found in the community (not just UF)? or is this generally just a mirror that people will update if they find some info missing (not that that's bad in itself)?
ie, where (if at all) is the premier immediate source for ARG info in wiki form?
