[TRAILHEAD] The Truth Seeker
ARG for the new NBC series The Event

OK boys and girls, I heard the advertisement comparing this series to 'LOST'.

Yeah, right!

In any case...

First tweet went out:

@MartinezWH is the Martinez White House account.

Haven't gone through https://twitter.com/MartinezWH/lists/memberships fully yet, but likely plenty of accounts to follow in there for the whole story.

I seem to remember @jopinionated talking about this after she saw a screening, it may not be the next lost but it may fill the gap, bring on the Event...

Do we have official confirmation that truthseeker is part of the NBC The Event campaign? I can't seem to find any trusted link there from the NBC site. The website itself is (as rowan pointed out) using stock photos, has an ad, and no link to terms or NBC or anything either... curious
Could be a fan following the show? someone actually trying to seek the truth (since the show's so utterly clouded in mystery)

Is that an official NBC site, or is it a community site reporting the stuff that's already assumed? truthseeker isn't listed anywhere on the NBC site that I can find, which that blog links to. Where did it get its info?

(just trying to dig to the source is all =)

Yup yup I got that site directly from the nbc site for the event.
Check it out:

ah, yes, two thin, but official connections. The icon on the NBC Event front page, plus the link indirectly via the creator's blog (theeventiscoming.com)

Catherwood tracked the IPs and it's all piped back to NBC. So yeah, looks legit. Carry on folks. Wink

Actually there are links to terms and NBC, in the source. For some reason they just aren't showing up on the site. It's the exact same footer ripped off of nbc.com and there are some other links in the source that are broken pointing to nbc stuff that isn't present on this site. ( /frequently-asked-questions/ for example)

It's a rather shoddy set up tbh. Kinda reminds me of my first impressions of the show.

Here's hoping first impressions are wrong...

Don't know if it's worth anything but:
http://www.theeventiscoming.com/images/backgrounds/main.jpg

A little easier to read (I'm new to this, so let me know if there's a better way)
http://robotguy.net/Event-BG.png

And the text:

WHAT IS THE EVENT? OUR FREEDOM IS AT STAKE. THEY CAN NEVER KNOW. YOU'RE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE. HELP ME. WE HAVEN"T TOLD YOU EVERYTHING. LET US GO. IT'S NOT TOO LATE. THIS ENDS NOW. EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL. SEE THROUGH ALL THE LIES. DON'T BE AFRAID.

It looks like the sentences are repeated, not necessarily in order. HELP ME only shows up a couple of times.

I DVR'd the premiere, but haven't watched it yet....

That would be cool if it had an "Arg" connection. 3 minutes till it starts!
