 		apparently they have an obsession with pickled teeth, the miscapitilized letters in the People page spell out "PICKLED TEETH" twice.

A team was lost and they need new employees might be the gist of the home page.

Daria's blog is slightly more readable.

http://newsfromlarouge.blogspot.com/ <-talks about subliminal messages, mentions that they need Interns

 		I'm a little put off by the way that this launched, but the site is extremely well-designed (IMHO). Smile

 		from what i know, i believe (correct me if im wrong) but, i believe that it says somewhere in TOS that if u ask an admin of Unforums, they will launch the game for u anonymously? i may be totally wrong on that and im off to check that right now...

**EDIT** yup, its in the rules that that is how it would be done, but, interestingly enough, ive not seen a whole lot of threads posted as the trailhead. i hear its cliche, and it breaks TINAG abit, but as i havent seen it done before, its kinda neat to me Smile oh, and heres the quote. at first i thought it was against the rules to post ur own trailhead, but i checked, so, just in case there is any current/future confusion, i had to get things straight.

<<META>> it's original to me, man, so, good job imho <</end>>

We'll be completely discreet and post it as an anonymous tip for you, then use the Force to erase our memories of the entire event. Unless, of course, you post to that thread we started for you.

 		Did a quick google on "pickled teeth," and found this: http://pickled-teeth.wikispaces.com/file/view/letter.pdf

It's definitely 100% related as it has the words Gyroscope Media right in the letterhead! Very Happy I think my interest just increased. I might have to join this one, despite the ridiculously silly self-promotion. Razz

 		Huh, it still works for me...but I'll save it just in case.

If you still can't see it (and I have no idea how to attach stuff here, plz help?) here's what it says:

Quote:
[Gyroscope Media logo] leopold.krugerSPLATgmx.com

Dear [prospective client],

Thank you for your interest in the Pickled Teeth program. Please
feel free to contact me for a quote or to discuss implementation
possibilities further.

What I offer is a tried and tested solution to corporate dilemmas.
A computer program as well as a psychological program, Pickled Teeth
can pick apart any corporate structure. With even the strongest and
most established businesses, Pickled Teeth can provide opportunity for
takeovers or even just competitive sabotage.

Once launched, Pickled Teeth will get to work corrupting the
internal network of the targeted organisation. The damage will be
comprehensive, including not only internal files, but also external
websites. But unlike your average virus, Pickled Teeth does not simply
sabotage technical systems. It implements a sophisticated program of
suggestion upon the employees who use those systems. The result is
an escalating sense of paranoia and depression which will break apart
the cohesion of any social group. It is a social virus as well as a
technical one.

As a businessman who puts his money where his mouth is,
Pickled Teeth's first outing has been a wholesale destruction of the
very company that produced it. Not only does this provide you, the
customer, with a display of its potential, but it should also serve to
reassure you that Pickled Teeth is untraceable. Those involved in its
manufacture will not be returning to normal life, nor will they attempt
to contact each other again. The chance of them piecing together what
happened to them is insignificant.

By way of a demonstration, visit www.gyroscopemedia.co.uk,
and take a look at the network of online media of my ex-employees. I
believe you will be impressed, and I await your response.
Needless to say, the information in this document is confidential,
and my associates will treat any breach of its security with the utmost
seriousness.

Yours sincerely,

Leopold Kruger


ETA: Thanks for the upload Franz Smile

 		Sounds like he's the reason they've disappeared as well.

The link started working again... couple of thoughts...

Daria's facebook says shes single

the Netvibes page says shes in a relationship with Leopold Kruger...



last note.... pickled teeth + gyros = yummy (sorry)

 		Also, a YouTube account belonging to Nate, an intern at GM: http://www.youtube.com/user/NateJoaquim
And a comment from "crywcx" saying "Nate please get in touch. I am worried. Find me through www.tinyurl.com/play0n [link is not working for me]"

ETA: Friended Daria on Facebook, gonna see if she friends me back.

 		Interesting...I wouldn't normally think this is strikingly important, but the youtube video Nate in Media 06 shows Olivia with flowers from Leopold and Daria being rather distraught?

This guy has gotta be interesting..
