www.massive-dynamic.org - Fringe ARG launchs in Germany

[kosmopol]

Sorry for double posting, but Mrs Zeva seems to be also in facebook.
So perhaps this ARG won't be just Germany located. Feel free to add her - I did it already

[(^__^)]

Are we 100% sure of this being official?

The email address @massive-dynamic.org should be @massivedynamic.com.


mmmmmh... fan made?

My god, the .Org creeps me out, lol.

The .Com looks more official. It has the "Massive Dynamic" feel.

I'm wondering about the .Org, because there's no easter egg to click on. Or is the site iteself an easter egg?

Has anyone tried emailing one of the contacts yet?

[kosmopol]

Well, I checked the domain, it is registered by Pro7. And Pro7 is the channel, which will show "Fringe" in March. (Countdown counts days till Fringe starts in Germany).

So I suppose, it's pretty official

I suppose, they just registered this domain for German ARG.

I emailed US Massive Dynamic site about Zeva and waiting for an answer.
I hope also, the German ARG will be really an ARG.

You do realize people can fudge the info in whois, right? My friend Jade made a video about WHOIS.

He mentions in the video that you can fake the WHOIS info. For those who don't know how to use it, here's a great tutorial

Anyway, I look forward to hearing more about Zeva. And her tears of blood....

Yes, Pro7 and Sat1 are two existing TV German channels, they are merging right now, as far as I know.

Anyway, today we registered more and more appearances of Allizee in various German social network sites. This is really new phenomen in Germany, since there weren't really many viral actions in social networks.

Truly, here are some cool ARGs, but they are acting usually in our nice community of Patmo and some blogs.

Normal people (hehe, I say "normal") don't really have experiences with ARG there, so for a grassroot or fake it were really too... dunno... too revolutionary.

I recorded btw the phone message.

What this sounds like to me is that this is run by the German station hosting Fringe, not the official Fox people. That makes sense to me, considering each country needs it's own "thing" to help promote the show.

[thebruce]

kind of like the idea The CW had with helping promote its revival of Jericho on their station, with new morse codes in the commercials...
It's doable, but the "canon" of the content I guess is what the question is - is the new content sanctioned officially by the show, or was the station just given permission to do their own promotion?

[Melancholic-Symphony]

I would think the station has permission. Call it a local gimmick. In my opinion, if it draws more attention to the original, then why not?

[kosmopol]

I suppose, it's authorized by FOX. I hope so at least. Seems to be really active now. We found at least 8 Social networks, where Allizee is registered.

What's weird is the countdown clock goes on after the flash splash is done playing. Could that be a count down until the show comes on in Germany? I kept wondering about it. I've reloaded the page a few times, and the countdown remains the same.

[kosmopol]

Yes, the show in Germany starts on 16th March, so it's countdown till the show starts.
