I made a purchase at FB...but the Queue for people getting bars was long...It may be because it is free candy - it may be there are people playing who are not part of the normal ARG community and are playing with other losties on losties fansites.

at the moment 2% of the chocolate bars have been registered with the site...

when we get to about 10% we might see something happen...

Like how we will get the training video pieced together frome thw glyphs...I think this is a wait a see moment...

Edit: and remember all you Hardcore ARG players - this game isn't meant for you - this is meant for the general public...thats why it is on the ABC and Channel 4/7 sites...

All this negativity bugs me, but I'm sure you all already know that.

and to whoever complained about the video clips being too short....the ILB ones, from my understanding were similar, and you didnt complain then.

No... ILB clips were like, a good 5 to 6 minutes at their shortest.

this 5 to 6 seconds BS is really annoying.

If the discussion of the games merit is going to continue, could it be taken to another thread please Smile

It's getting too far off topic

This isn't exactly criticism but I don't really understand the purpose of this site...

Only when enough have been found. Only when enough of the world is watching.


I don't get the correlation here. Why are there codes on only a few bars of chocolate? And why does entering these codes that only a few people can access ensure that more people will be watching? Why are we taking photos of ourselves with Apollo Bars?

I totally don't understand. Is there even a story here?

Also, I found this quite funny:

haha... man, I hope not.


Seeing as the site proclaims itself to be 'not for public sale' and only for the Hanso Group, I highly doubt it.

Yep, this is a subplot of the whole thing that has been sort of forgotten. This has been mentioned before but is worth a look:

I had forgotten this storyline and was surprised by some of the stuff listed there.

I've been away for a bit so this whole whereisalvar.com stuff pretty much mystifies me... but I haven't seen any mention here yet of this page:

http://www.whereisalvar.com/xml/statistics


I can't tell if it is useful or not, though...

Just looks like a written version of what has been found and where. But some of the abbreviations are lost on me. UKMW I assume is United Kingdom, Mid West. But what's UKLN? UK London?

I'm not sure if it's useful though. You can get the same info from the from page of whereisalver.com, even thought the dots around the UK are very close together.

I found this on the newest TLEC post.

I've suspected something funny has been going on at WIA... the percentage has been going up and the numbers remaining the same over the last few days...

Heres a graph of number of bars against percent... not a very good correlation

Now, heres a graph of time against percent... Almost perfect.

It appears that the number of bars and golden oracles on WIA.com are irrelevant.

in fact if this same pattern holds WIA will finish on the evening of 20th Sept/ morning of the 21st (BST), regardless of the number of bars
