[TRAILHEAD] Ditch the Tech

[Pixiestix]

We have two twitter accounts to follow

I am certain the good Senator's twitter account is legit, although, i'm not certain the Rossum one isn't fan made - no real content there yet.

ETA additional twitter accounts

Fascinating... I'm at least lurking this one. Might jump in if it gets interesting.

Scraped from the Ditch the Tech page source:

I called the number {206 426 5839} and left a message. no callback at all myself.

Hoping we will get some KL00 as to what the "7 digit K-security code" - a cool way would be from an in-show hint, but since the game seems to be set up for the small hiatus here that seems an awfully long time to wait.

Coolness. This will help bide the time until the 5th. Hope to get some juicy tidbits about the story.

E-mailed the contact address to see if they'll let me apply for the internship.

Hi guys! I sent them an email. I told them that my friends at the uFunction group told me about their site and am interested in their services. (uFunction = uF) A wink to the PMs that I'm an ARG player, and not some random people who really thinks it's real. Though the nearest office is in Hong Kong, guess I'll have to ''fly'' over there. It's nice to be playing again

as a side note, I had set up a dollhouse wiki long ago for the potential arg which didn't pan out. If this is official, then we've already got a wiki going
If you're so inclined, please do help populate and update the wiki at http://dollhouse.wikibruce.com

IGN is reporting that Dollhouse is cancelled...

...so I doubt this will go far if it's official.

nighthawk - than info is no where near new. they have known it was pretty much cancelled unofficially for weeks. When the show got brushed aside for sweeps, one of the writers was tweeting about it. I believe this game is more of a last ditch effort to get the show uncancelled {again}. Please, just let us enjoy the game without discussions of the possible cancellations. I for one am hoping we can save it {again}.

I really hope this means they'll be delving deeper into the "Epitaph One" storyline as the season continues. The underlying theme of technological apocalypse, brilliantly scripted, just hasn't been clear enough to people who aren't dedicated fans of the show. If it were more evident, I think there'd be greater interest.

Which is why I also hope they'll make a serious effort with this ARG. I'll be posting those "Ditch The Tech" posters around town... I want people who follow the rabbit down the hole to find something there that'll keep them intrigued.

It's good to know that the season will be completed and they're aiming to bring some closure, but the story doesn't have to be over. Even if the show ends. Firefly had even less success on Fox, but the material was good enough, and fan interest rabid enough, that Serenity was made. And it was a significant success. So if enough interest in Dollhouse is generated over the next few months, maybe we could even get an"Epitaph One" themed movie

tl;dr - promote the game, promote the show!

It comes down to this
1} The creators already knew it was being cancelled.
2} Joss, Jed, AND Mo have all stated at different times the show was going to have a sense of closure at the end of the season due to what they felt was an unavoidable cancellation.
3} The game more than likely wouldn't have launched this late in the season {after the creators were already quite aware of said evil C word} unless they intended for it to play out.

the entire point i was trying to make was directy in response to

[faeryqueen21]

BANG!!!

[Mehetabel]

Ditch the Tech now has a Twitter, on which they announce, but do not link to, a Facebook group. Just got followed. I guess I'm in for this one.

Also, having trouble finding the Facebook group in question... I guess I need to get more creative with my search terms.

[Pixiestix]

just got a call from Rossum, something along the lines of "thank you for your interest in the Rossum corporation. "we want to assure all of our stockholders" and other people that basically the company is okay...
Then he says something like please stay on the line for an important update

and then i think they were trying to remote wipe me - lots of noise like computer modem & key tones and stuff.

so yeah - in the context of the show, would this be the first mass wipe?
