To me, it sounds like Sedung and Zrat.

Sedung is in Burma, Zrat in Afghanistan....

It's unknown if this is official or not. the youtube account "thelostexperience" hasn't been used for three years until the new video was posted, and no one knows yet if that account was fake or not.

I am going to assume that the YouTube account was made by a fan. The Gary Troup videos were never hosted on YouTube, but were on the servers of various media outlets (Powell Books, Amazon, etc) -- we still have links to some of those original videos in this post (scroll down to the Gary Troup section). It looks more like a fan gathered some of those interview parts (not ALL nine of them, you'll notice) and uploaded them to YouTube. It would have ruined the TINAG aspect for Gary Troup's reality to be labeled and stored under the name of the game.


Ohhh... this just made me really sad. I thought that Lostpedia was pretty confident the you tube channel gave it backing as pretty legit. Sad

(dposse, if no one has replied and you are the last post in the thread, just edit your post to add more info, rather than double-posting in sequence)

Here is a blog entry which gives a good summary of the chain of evidence so far.
http://thelostmeister.blogspot.com/2009/05/simeon-hobbes-epithet-alpha-real-lost.html

It could be a fun diversion. There could also be an Official game starting up at ComicCon which is a full month away, at which time this trail could either end, merge, or distract. In any case, as long as you're having fun, enjoy!

I don't want to say it for sure, since I don't know it till now, but...
I have a slightly feeling, @lostarg could be the same for this ARG as @bevbrecher and @AliceForrest700 were for Star Trek ARG: a quasi players, who were actually kind of PM guards, helping players, who's tapping in darkness, to find the right way to the story (scheduled plot and stuff). They always twittered the most actual informations and as far as I know, they used as first the hashtag #startrekarg

Since I don't really know, whether this ARG is official Lost ARG or whether @lostarg is a PM, I will hide my doubts for a while Smile

And I fully agree with catherwood, as far as it's interesting ARG, I'm in!

EDIT: Oh, and he's writing the Lost's Wall....

Simeon Hobbes I yearn everyday to return to my blessed home. I understand my work here is important, but to be Without is to dwell in sorrow.

This strikes me as a complete disconnect from the Jacob as presented on the TV show. While "dark shirt guy" has always wanted to kill Jacob, Jacob never responded with anything other than gentle peace and friendship.

This has the feel of a fallen angel, or one who was kicked out of Paradise, but also sent to Earth on a mission.

(Am I maybe reading these incorrectly? Who is speaking, and whom is he addressing?) I don't "do" Facebook myself; I didn't see anyone link to this "wall" for us to read.

It's Hebrew, and means... "Hebrew". I.e. whoever it is, he is using Facebook surface in Hebrew! It's cool.
