Would a Viral Marketing campaign really send people parts of a fake Tagruato memo? There has to be more to this AR/G/E then there is up to now.

Either one of 3 things has happened:

1) We missed something. There is a new website, we just missed it. We missed a clue!

2) Tidowave is going to update soon. A new Jamie/Teddy video will come out.

3) It's OVER. Sad

Eh, I'm on the "it's not really an ARG in the traditional sense" bandwagon. JJ and Co. know how rabid their fanbase is when it comes to details, so they played up to it by hiding some of the sites and leaving clues. That said, there's not a lot of gaming involved here. It doesn't take much to find the sites, and if we miss they just hit us again until we get it.

I don't think we're going to see a big "game" like the Lost Experience, ILBees, or Vanishing point. I think this is more of a viral backstory campaign to keep everyone's interest piqued. If we missed a vital clue, something will come up to let us know.

I expect we'll see another J video of some form to give some closure to the "evidence" thread, as well as some TIDO/Tagruato/Slusho updates. We'll get the rest of the story leading up to the attack, and that's it. Look at "Heroes Evolution". It's got some puzzles to it, but for the most part it's just storytelling.

yep

Yes....I believe a viral marketing campaign would give fake memos to random people who ordered from the Slusho! store.

Also, and I am by no means an ARG specialist in any way, in a true ARG(or traditional ARG, etc.) aren't the players actually a part of the game, having a chance to affect outcomes directly? Maybe I'm under the wrong impression of what a basic ARG is all about. Cause honestly in this experience, we all are seeming observers of things playing out in time, like watching the prelude unfold, but not being a direct part of said prelude.

peace.

Then this is an ARE. I still don't see why a marketing campaign would send out those memo's to random people if there wasn't more to them...

First time poster, long time lurker, apologize if I suck.

Updated info on Tidowave:

"I don't know what to say. They told me to post here. I've never done this before.

Um…..things are not going as planned. There has been a problem with the "event". Please contact me if you have any information on Randy or the others. I'm the only one here right now. Backup desperately needed."

(Hehe, everyone is in the new memo topic)

Awesome, something new.

Edit: Something is leading me to believe that this is Teddy. He's talking about Randy in 3rd person, and he says "I’m the only one here right now", implying Randy and the others might have gone missing.

Yes, you were right.

The only problem is no one knows how to contact the outside man.
I tried posting a comment on Tidowave, but it is "awaiting moderation".

Hard to say.
Based on how he is asking for any info on them, I'd say that if it was them, they told him to do it ahead of time,
More likely, there were a couple other people on the outside and he is their lacky.

Does any body else get the feeling that things are really starting to heat up? 2 clues a couple hours apart exactly 1 month before the release of the movie

Not to mention all sorts of interviews, clips of the movie, and even a contest to spread the word like a virus.

Yes, they seem to be really gearing up for this.
