 		I emailed all on list
I just wrote an email to all and explained I was looking for clues in the Court TV, Applebees and Suzuki reality game. I told them any info they could give me on Andrew would be great and I deeply apologized if I was disturbing anyone in their personal time. I said we were told to Google search and this phone list appeared. Now my stomach is tore up. I hope this is part of the game. I feel it is but will fill terrible if I disrupted anyone. I called one person daniel who hung up after a few minutes but I felt like I was to call him cause he didn't yell. But I was polite.I also noted I am from FL and too expensive to call that is why I emailed.

 		The Grinder - I sure hope you are kidding about calling these people.

These are real people. This is not a conspiracy. You can get arrested for harrassment.

Please stop. Please???

 		Please do not take ANYTHING in the cached pages of m8_admin as in-game or real info. They were NOT meant to be seen by the public. There is some personal information contained in some of them so I suggest you stop posting any links to cached pages, if not for the game, for the sake of the PMs who are trying to clean up this slight mess.

 		this is crazy. since i posted my google results, i cant reproduce them anymore. im getting soo frustrated, but i thought it was strange that someone with the same name as the detective is a court tv employee. and the only result i got that was even close when i googled detective andrew speigel was the link to the brooklyn paper Jay St article. now im more confused than when i began this morning

 		Wrong Name
The name is Andrew SIEGEL (not spiegel). Hope this helps unconfuse you Absynth.

 		I'll repeat my comment, because apparently it can't be stressed enough.

This is definitely, absolutely, without a doubt, out of game information.. Harassing harried employees trying to make the best of a bad situation will NOT get you hints. They are getting increasingly terse with you because they can't do their work when they're responding to people repeatedly calling them.

There are name similarities because it's an homage to the production staff. That's it.

So please do not email, call, or stake out their corporate offices. If Deep Focus has too much of a negative experience and their ability to conduct day-to-day business is hampered too much, they will never agree to engage in a similar type of production again--which is a shame, because they are learning their lessons from this production, and it has been fun.

From what I have seen, the Google cache removal tool takes 3-5 business days to process, so there is very little they can do to restrict access for now (unless there is a faster method I don't know about).

Is this just a coincidence ??
Notice one name stands out: Sabrina Caluori! Could she be behind this whole game as an attempt to get back at Akarm for what they did to her?




I don't think this is InGame but Sabrina Caluori has a Blog Site that looks real similar to Sonya Haswell's here.

http://causeimfinallyinartschool.blogspot.com/

I think she was just the person that worked that part of the games setup and someone else at Deep-Focus.net thought it would be funny to make Frank's last name Calouri Laughing

 		To reiterate what I edited into the first post in this thread, please do not contact the people listed on these cached pages. They have nothing to do with the game. Click Here for more information (meta spoilers).

BUT imho, if you use your own last name to make a character in an ARG, you gotta keep in mind how resourceful us ARGer's are, youre almost asking for it. Im not saying call her, but someone shouldve forseen her name being connected to franks.
just by googling Caluori, i can find her in the first ten pages, and if i look at her profile i see that she is part of a company that produces viral marketing, so i could put 2 and 2 together and find out how to contact her easily enough without any of the googlecache info.
there i said it. im not advocating harassment or anything, im just saying that she(Caluori) should have been more responsible than to use her own last name in an ARG.

 		The Real Crime here
the real questions....
Ok this is how it REALLY went down:

Sabrina is a real person that works for Deep Focus. Andrew Goodis' real name is Thomas Badis and he works for Applebees as a marketing consultant. Together they hatched a plan. Thomas would get Applebees to fork over 500k for a marketing scheme that would involve an online ARG type game to help market Applebees' Curbside To Go. Sabrina would throw together several hoops and anagram puzzles and hire her relatives to tape some story line for about 10k. (she also put Frank Calouri's name in the game as a crazy man to get back at her ex husband).
Then they programmed the server to self destruct on the morning of Day Six, when they would be long gone....only, Applebees wouldnt fork over the whole 500k so they got court TV and Suzuki to help fund the game. And Court TV got smart and hired real life detective Andrew Siegal.
(to throw them off, Sabrina wrote Andrew into the story line so it would confuse the players).....
Andrew Seigal has been working on this case since May, those emails that have the addresses listed? thats his code page to Court TV telling who Thomas and Sabrina have been emailing and meeting with.

(note they filmed tapped the one press conference at 20 Jay Street. )

Court TV has the real case here... and we are to find Sabrina Coulari and Andrew Goodis' real life id Thomas Badis, where are they? what happened to the money that was to be spent on a Marketing ARG?

Or, you could simply read the multitude of posts in this thread telling you that there is no need to connect the marketing company to the in-game characters, and leave it at that?

Move on, folks... this path leads to nowhere worthwhile.

This sounds plausible, but Arrg...how did you get the "lowdown"? Is this all presumtions on your part?

Please look at the top of the forum where there is an announcement from SpaceBass, the owner of this site, about not contacting the people at Deep Focus.

Or scroll up slightly and read the two posts from forum administrators (jamesi and SpaceBass) telling you this is a dead end and to leave the people at Deep Focus alone.
