How does Rocket Poppeteers fit into all this!?

Interesting thought, but it would have seemed to make more sense if there had been bits and pieces of the RP logo that were identifiable in the trailer seeing as how the different associated web sites connected with the ARG came online at the same time (I believe--man, has it really been that many months back?).

The RP site/product seems to fit the backstory (Josh's father's time) more directly than the Josh era of it... so far. Remember we first got linked to RP because of the vintage newspaper printouts from the Kennedy era in the early '60s, detailing his nuclear test ban treaty speech. Also, RP is based strongly on the Cold War-era idea of America vs. the Russkies, Red Cosmo and all.

Given how strongly Abrams desires to keep the film's secrets as long as possible, I doubt we'll be handed the one-to-one connection before the film opens. Though I expect we'll learn a lot more (than the little we know now) after we see the 3/11 trailer.

Connections gained? Yes. Answers, no. But I have to agree that the ARG has stumbled fitfully along since it started what now seems very early in its run, given how little we've progressed all these months later.

Exactly. I also have a slusho!-like feeling about RP. And we won't perhaps know more about Coop or Cozmo, like we didn't really knew about Noriko Yoshida, just from the story on slusho.jp.

But it will be perhaps a wink to us, as we will see some RP appearance in the movie.

I agree Kosmo, there was a pic floating around somewhere showing RP posters in the store.

man, looking back on it, that whole cloverfield thing never really ended...it just kind of dropped off. slusho was the only interesting part of that campaign.

well that and the pictures that flipped over when you shook them

wonder whatever happened to teddy hanssen anyway

Again, I wasn't involved in the Cloverfield ARG, and don't know how big Slusho figured into the ARG, but there seems to be more substance with RP (the initial letter, the mailed certificate, and the follow-up pdf) and now the gearing up for the launch, than we have really had with Mysterio, Josh, a map, badges, mp3, photos, chat, and whatever else that has lead to nowhere.

Sure, we'll have fun playing the RP game, buying RP promo stuff, but do the PMs have to be soooooo slow with providing the dots (no pun intended) that connect and make sense? Rolling Eyes

I just want a clue that wracks my brain for more than five minutes. The best thing to that was the chat password, and someone already solved it...
