I'm not convinced that the Alexander Dubrovin on Facebook is "in game", just so you know.

True, but this could be the next phase- Things went downhill quick on the Junko side, but then Dubrovin and the Men of Taste facebook group pop up, I think its more than a coincidence.

EDIT: and the splash page on MoT changing also suggests this.

I knew the name 'Alexander Dubrovin' sounded eerily familiar.

I doubt that that has any bearing on our Dubrovin, however.

Anyways, I received a message from Alexander Dubrovin. I have responded and am awaiting a response.

Interesting. He was a contemporary of the 2 men I mentioned earlier. In fact all 3 died in 1918.

Date on the English site seems to be incorrect - it's 1921 on the Russian version. As long as he was Russian politician, I'd rather believe ru-wiki. So don't mind it.

That gave me a little idea...
Read these articles
http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/~haroldfs/540/handouts/ussr/circass.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hundreds
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khozyain

I know the Khozyain article has been posted, but think about it... I am seeing alot of symbolism.

sorry, but the Khozyain article is nothing more, than a hoax of a failed jounalist. as a Russian, I can 100% assure you, that it doesn't have such a meaning in Russian. it's a shame, that the PM decided to use wikipedia as his primary source. Black Hundreds don't have any relation to this either, I am sure of it.

also, cheers to the guys from 2ch, your comrade is here now as well.

Well, I am not so sure about this note being a fake (as it seems quite realistic) but it truly can't be related to our ARG.

By the way, welcome, /b/rother.

Thanks for the update. So 1918 probably not significant, but there are a lot of threads tying these 3 individuals together. May just be a backdrop for flavor purposes though.

Click on the link "The REEL", and you will notice the last frames are of Junko

The filename for the reel is "reel_2008.flv", so we can assume that the Junsui site was done in 2008 or before. Fits with the earlier sayings of this project taking over 2 years to prepare.

It would be nice to get some inside information from the people in that company...

I guess we already know everything they can tell us except the details of Patrick hiring them which cannot be interesting. Anyway, we are playing a game, as I think, and our purpose is not to find out everything about Patrick and his work, really. This company is definitely can't be IG.

Actually, I did contact them. Here is the email I received in response.

I can't give details about the project because I signed an NDA, but Junko Junsui was a project for Japan New Health that I worked on. But that was nearly 2 years ago, and it got cancelled for lack of funding.

Oh, and after I made contact with Maven Interactive, I received an email with the same message as currently posted on Men of Taste.

So by contacting Maven, I'm now on the email list, this tells me Maven is in charge of this entire ARG

We should start our own freaky cult-esque Facebook group in which we try and liberate Patrick's girlfriend from her insane crybaby boyfriend. Posting in all-caps for MASSIVE DAMAGE, of course.

I'D JOIN THAT FOR TRUTH AND GLORY!
