 		Community Tv Show Season 6 ARG?
Hello! If anyone here is not familiar, Community is a sitcom that previously aired on NBC for five seasons. When the show was canceled by NBC, Yahoo managed to pick it up for a sixth season to be streamed on its online video service, Yahoo Screen, starting March 17 2015.

In preparation of the new season, Yahoo has been compiling and releasing brief videos to recap the first five seasons of the show, bringing new viewers up to speed. These have been released every Tuesday since January 20. However, it was noted by many that the second season video contained some altered footage sneaking in the phrase "#EmailDiane" at the 1:40 mark. This is followed almost immediately by the presentation of an email address "seriouslyemaildiane@yahoo.com".

Upon contacting the email on January 27, users were sent an autoreply,

Quote:
Thanks for your message. I'm OOO with limited access to email until 3/17, but assume you're in touch about the mallard farm, Hermione cameo, pillar installation invoice, or my matchmaking consultants fee. Very well.
Please respond by email, verifying your "name" and "title" in the format below. Name: LastName, FirstName Title: The Magic 8 Ball Incarnate (this is just an example)

Please also include your mailing address, or ask a tricky question only I would know the answer to. (And then confirm your mailing address.)

We will be sure to deliver what is rightfully yours... when the time is right.

Diane


By February 3, the autoreply had been changed.

As of February 10, this is the reply,

Quote:
Your message is important to me and I hope to respond upon return to the office on 3/17.
TSTaskForce6: Your intel has been instrumental - I've decoded the anagrammatic titles, triangulated the addresses, and (per your approbation) successfully reenlisted all rogue peninsular Furbies.

We're close.
By my assessment, we'll have it in one week. I shall encrypt and prepare for internal distribution. Pay attention to the breadcrumbs and on 2/17, after 9:36am ET: Email me.
Please confirm.
Diane
Ps. For the record, 12,637 is a cakewalk.


Now clearly this potential "game" is set to continue next week, February 17, with the final recap video. But many of the Community fans are wondering if there is overlooked information hidden in these messages. There are a few additional hashtags found in other recap videos, but they have not much of a use as of yet.

Just looking to bring attention to any other fans of the show or ARGs in general! This could be fun to hold us over until the show premiers! (:

 		I can't believe I'm only hearing about this now.
I just sent off my email, but it might be too late. Please keep updates posted here.

Also, did anybody actually go and look up the mallard farm web site? I don't know if it's a real site or an ARG site but it looks like a standard template site that got used from time to time in other ARGS like Flynn Lives and such.
And one of the contact people for that site is Jeff and he has a yahoo.com email address.

 		New email reported,

Quote:
Your correspondence means the world to me. My delays are unacceptable.
Answers in random order: Occasional watering; endless love. A whole farm's worth. To triangulate (and possibly surprise).
More answers to your questions soon. Any others? Please inform.

Ps. Your defiance has served us extremely well. 2/17.


That mallard site is certainly interesting, but then again seems a bit too "real" to me.

EDIT: And another

 		New reply, notice the slightly different email address provided.

Signs point to further reveals upon the release of the Season 6 trailer, as of now "Coming Soon."

EDIT: New email supplying website http://dianesinbox.tumblr.com/ showing the first glimpses of season 6!
