This makes me wonder if you can trick the site into thinking you don't have Flash and it shows you different content?

There are also parameters sent to Flash objects in the page script like this:

I'm really sensing another 'hanso foundation' caper where the crisis is gonna be blamed on the big, evil, greedy corporation or corporate boss (remember mittlework?)

here is what I got with disabled flash.... i'm gonna keep playing around with a saved version of the source code in a html document. You can do it to if you want, by copying the source code over to notepad, save it as a .html file, and then as "http://tagruato.jp/" before all the file location references in the code and save

btw setting that specific command to 'true' does nothing I can see

what I find interesting is the following line of HTML referring to the links at the bottom of the page:

<a class='footerLink' href=''>Privacy and Legal</a>   <a class='footerLink' href=''>Sitemap</a>   <a class='footerLink' href=''>Help</a>

the link targets are left blank [boldened bits].... I think this site is still being developed

if they are indeed watching us seeing if we are hooking onto their bait like the promotional fishermen that they are, maybe we should all just play dumb and thus forcing them to provide us with more informaiton (joke).

As for the website, They are probably leaving gaps in the coding for if and when they decide to provide us with more obscure clues. Whos going to stakeout the website 24/7 to find out what the add ons are? not me thats for sure. I'm into solving the mystery, but i wouldn't lose sleep over it

There are 2 issues bothering me about this site at the moment. The first is the list of languages to choose from from the front page. There are 13 languages which I would assume would match up with the 13 drilling platforms that are supposedly currently functional. But why choose these languages? There's only 1 platform in the Mediterranean and yet there are 5 European languages represted here. And there a some fairly obscure languages here. Any ideas?

The other problem is that it is now October the 1st and yet supposedly the Mid-Atlantic platform (the one presumably that's going to feature in the flim) was supposed to open in September. Why is there no mention of it?

I'm wracking my brains and trawling tagruato.com but can't find anything.

perhaps someone that is familiar with other languages should check the other pages for discrepencies.

also, does anyone else think that the full story of the slusho given to the nursing home sounds like a bunch of ditsy j-pop girls running around taunting old people because they cant get out of bed?

I don't have a picture of the "whale" to the left on the opening page. Any ideas why not?

When you select a new location on the interactive drilling locations page, gibberish spews out as the information on the station appears at the bottom of the screen.

Someone else brought this up previously and it was dismissed, but now that we've seen that evil logo that shows up for only a split second, it occurs to me that we should probably investigate.

I would do it myself, but sadly I don't have the know-how

Edited to add: Now that there appears to be hidden content on the site (that is, the evil logo that flashes by so quickly), there is also the potential for a mole on the inside. How else did that logo get there? I wouldn't guess it was the director of marketing for Tagruato trying to be clever. If there is a mole, then this really may be turning into an ARG after all.

Okay, two things. The first is, do you think this "evil logo" is simply a reference to Tagruato's old moto "holding Earth's energy in my fist"? Perhaps it was just the old logo? That can't explain why it was hidden, but thought I'd point that out.

The second thing is that if someone decompiled the flash on this site and was unable to find this alternate logo, wouldn't it still be possible that the flash on the Slusho site might actually have some hidden secrets as well?
