Does this indicate that they are concerned about dwindling interest or is it just a safeguard to keep the game moving at their pace?

If they were concerned about dwindling interest, they would have likely not made us, the chocolate giveaways, and our pictures irrelevant by programming the percentage to increase by itself over time, but rather stimulating interest in the site by encouraging participation. If they were concerned about dwindling interest, they haven't shown it... no... I'll save that for another thread elsewhere. Anyway, this is probably just their way of moving the game along at their own pace, as you said.

Do what I do: check back here once a day with the vain, glorious hope that maybe they'll redeem themselves somehow.

Y'know, with big revelations or something like that.

Well, we finally reached 100% and Rachel has been gracious enough to let us know. First with an email, subject heading UNITE:

Quote:

OKAY, EVERYBODY. THIS IS IT. YOU'VE FOUND OVER 1000 APOLLO BARS. I
KNOW NOW THAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING...

GO TO WWW.WHEREISALVAR.COM


(gotta love that caps-lock)

Then, with an update to www.whereisalvar.com , a new message:

Quote:

YOU'VE STUCK WITH ME. SHOWN YOUR SUPPORT. FOUGHT THE HANSO
FOUNDATION TOOTH AND NAIL.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE WHOLE TRUTH. ABOUT THEM. ABOUT ME.

TUNE IN TO DJDAN SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 AT 8PM PST, AND HELP ME,
ONCE AND FOR ALL... TO SHUT IT ALL DOWN!

- RACHEL


And the page has updated with the pics apparently of everyone who submitted a Golden Oracle (75 of them) arranged to spell out "UNITE"


Gee.

After all that, after this whole, stretched out chocolate bar fiasco, and we have to wait longer for her to be on freaking DJ DAN? Clearly, there was no point to collecting the bars, there was no actual reason for it to exist in the first place, if she was intended to be on the show before the bars ended.

C'mon, PMs, seriously, treat us with a little more respect. I was getting tired of the game, now I'm actually angry that you've been sending us on a worthless chase for two months.
