On behalf of everyone at Looking Glass Laboratories, I would like to congratulate Joshua on his miraculous accomplishment in the Central Florida competition. You have made us all proud beyond imagination.

I have been in contact with numerous companies that were amazed at your ability and skill. There are many wonderful possibilities in the future for Joshua and Looking Glass Laboratories, and we will continue to be at the forefront of technology for generations to come.

I would like to once again thank the Beta Testers for their assistance and support; without them, Joshua would not be what he is today.

Thank you for your support.

Nah, no biggie. It was mentioned maybe once and I don't think the picture was ever posted here, just a link to a version stashed in a Photobucket account or some such.

BTW, I wasn't available to make it to the post office to get my package tonight, but the ticket the postman left confirms it is from Happitec.

I've been lurking on this game as I haven't had much time to try and help ceack anything and it seems like things are already figured out before I get here anyhow. My question is, I have a package waiting for me at the post office like many of you guys with postage due, is this common in an ARG for them to send something postage due? Also could the amount be a clue since I have seen at least one person say they owe $3.25 which is what I owe as well? Thanks and I hope I can help out eventually. I am also willing to use my questions be used by others to get more questions asked sooner.

The only real reason I mentioned the postage due on the package at the P.O. is that in the Infocom Bureaucracy game, several of the 21 total points you can acquire are obtained by looking at the stamp on an envelope.

But my post prompted a representative for the PM team to contact me about it.
Insufficient postage on the packages wasn't intentional. Probably just due to differences in weights for some of the packages. (On mine, it looks like the PO quoted them the <1lb rate and then treated it as a 1lb package once it was in the system.).

There are several going out and they're all identical. No more information is available in any of the other packages than we have already.

They wanted me to let the players know that if your package should arrive "postage due" and you don't want to pay the additional postage, just tell the Post Office you aren't willing to pay the amount due. They'll return it to the sender.

Two and a half years around here and my only ARG swag is my cherished hair ribbon from Orbital Colony. I'll gladly pick up the additional postage.

Just received the same info as Rogi. Rather ironic given the Bureaucracy reference. Simple mixup which doesn't matter to me, I still want my swag!

Anyways, I haven't gotten anything in the mail, but I've also been fighting the post office, going in every week because they keep stopping my mail and putting in a vacant slip in my mail box, telling the delivery guy to not put anything in. So I donno. Hope I get something, though admittedly, I've gotten more swag than rogi (a mask AND some rocks).


I've also been trying different combinations of the scrabble tiles for passwords here and authorization codes here using XTER001WRB as the username and my own email as the email respectively.

Wow, I'm gone for a week, and 30 pages to catch up on. I've updated the wiki so far up to yesterday and still working on it. Great job guys!!!

Well...I'm gone for 2 days, and we get an additional 20+ pages! Wow.

Seems Joshua's been a busy boy. Between the media analysis, the Q&A, and the Chess Tourney, he's kept quite busy...except for the one day he was all by his lonesome.

Poor Joshua, all lonely in there

So, people have started to receive some swag, huh? This is only the 2nd ARG I've ever been a part of...how would I go about receiving said swag? I'm already registered as a Beta tester, and have been registered with LGlabs since before the ARG even took off. Is it random who they send it out to? I imagine an ARG isn't going to attract THAT many people, right? I always imagined most low-key ARGs like this one to have only a few hundred, or, at most, a few thousand members.

I want a Rubik's Cube...

I am happy to pay the 3 bucks that mine is due as well. I am happi it wasn't done on purpose Although I would have paid it then too. I cherish my Stevie ribbon too, but it is added to my box of stuff from the dunes.

[Noodlien]

Ahoy. This is my first ARG. Been lurking in these forums since the start. Anyways, I'd been trying to get whatever info Dwayne has out of him and got this email;
