So much trout!!!! So much that I'm not going to call people out one at a time... but everyone, please read the thread before posting!!!! It's one thing if it is like, a post that just happened as you were typing. Another if it was an hour ago.

I bet she helped spin the entire thing as if there never was a monster, and NYC was just bombed.

Speaking as a web designer here...

The Tagruato page was only discovered a few hours ago. Even though Howard's website was registered today, someone who was trying to perform a game jack would have had to act pretty fast to find images for the site, code it, write a decent sized letter, and upload a script for password protected pages. Granted the site is pretty basic in design, so I'm not saying it would take a few weeks to design, but within a time span of an hour or two after the Tagruato page was discovered? Nah, it wouldn't be quite that fast.

I think we should treat it as IG until someone has definitive proof to the contrary.


I only have limited coding and some basic SEO knowledge, but would it be possible to have this site created and designed, then just register the radioman70 url to redirect once the game was pointing that direction?

If radioman70 is the only thing really connecting the two pieces, i'm remaining skeptical but hopeful!

Did some cursory searches for both Megan and Howard Stambler. The only results I could find was for Howard pointing back to the Cloverfield Clues article for the EotM page. No Facebook or Myspace profiles that I could find.

Rolling Eyes Excuse me. Someone mentioned that BoldFutura was a "known" gamejack, and I provided a whois record that shows it was registered around the time the teaser trailer debuted (possibly before). Bold Futura was not mentioned IN GAME until Tagruato's website went up. Tagruato's website, if you wanna do some fact checking, launched way after the trailer and initial viral sites were already up. I wasn't trouting, I was clarifying.

The stench of elitism on this forum is heavy. There was none of this back in '07. Guess I'll go back to lurking and not participating. Whenever someone wants to entertain something contrary to the general opinion of the elitists, even if they're honestly trying to be helpful and participatory, they get a bunch of attitude and shitty comments. Have fun, guys.

Attempts I've made for the second password:

Necklace
HAM Radio
Radio
Walkie Talkies
Walkie Talkie (the name of the chat "software" on the site is Talkie Talk)
Teenagers
Teenagers Magazine (the magazine she's reading on the couch in the trailer)
Cannibal Airlines
Paris
Sunflowers
Cat
Fortune Cat
beckoning cat
Meneki-neko
Maneki neko
Lucky Cat (on the FAPT page next to computer)
Paris trip
Life
puzzle
Eiffel Tower shirt
jukebox
ice cream

I don't know, I'm trying to think of what kind of gift could be inconspicuous enough to be a secret, presumably from the mother who Megan is living with.

I've googled Megan Stambler and nothing comes up.

I'm also thinking about who could have written the message in the page source. It's clearly not Howard. If this website was set up by Howard in order to communicate to Megan, he wouldn't have talked about her in the third person. I think the page source message is directed to Howard.

I doubt that it's the mother or anybody who knows Howard well, but it seems they know Megan well enough to say what she would or wouldn't do. The person wouldn't be Howard's wife/Megan's mother because the mother wouldn't need to say "I know who you are" or need to track Howard.

It's possible the third person hacked Howard's website to insert that string of code, and I guess that seems like the most likely explanation. But still, we have a third character here who I don't believe knows Howard but clearly knows Megan.

EDIT: I think the person who owns FAPT is not Howard. "You do not belong here." I believe "here" refers to the website. The second "here" might refer to the website or to the second shelter.

Might be changing my tune a little. I think funandpretty might be IG. The images on the front page. The sundae looks oddly lit - like maybe it was a picture taken on set, and you can see the edge of the same bowl in the music box picture. The wreath/egg thing I can't find in the trailer but it really looks like a prop from the bunker. Also the magazine is not a real magazine. I think it's a prop made from stock images just like the other teen magazine in the trailer.

If so it means I've been right about Howard being a vet, the bunker being y2k leftovers, the Paris connection and odd decoration of the set being about his wife/daughter. That's an awful lot and it's throwing me off! I've never made so many right guesses!

Someone on reddit took 82 screenshots of the trailer a long time ago. These might be helpful when trying to figure out what Megan's favorite thing is.

Just wanted to post in case this album wasn't posted here before

Edit- I also searched radiogirl in Google and found a band called Volbeat. Tried that as a password and Volbeat album and still nothing

I did some Reverse Image Searches for the employee photos. The only one that I kind of found was for Dr. Feng Guangbiao.

The photo seems to match this stock photo--> http://depositphotos.com/28934983/stock-photo-asian-technician-working-in-a.html
EXCEPT they appear to have pasted in someone else's face. The clothing and background appear to be exactly the same. Weird.

Besides the top three mostly looking like cut and paste heads, I swear I recognize the person in the 5th picture, "Annika Peltier" - I wonder if this is Meta - the PM team pictures?

This would be an amazing shoutout to the creators. I love this idea.

Actually, the photo of the sundae comes from the National Peanut Board's website: http://nationalpeanutboard.org/sightings/get-inspired-for-creative-ice-cream-flavors-day-and-ice-cream-month/

It was the only one on FAPT I could find an exact match for in a reverse image search.

Sarah Foster is the January equivalent to Howard Stambler. The employee of the month for Bold Futura.

As far as I can tell, the two of them are also the only ones sharing any information in ther photographs. Howard Stambler of course shares the radioman70 text on his t-shirt. Now Sarah Foster seems to be standing outside her office, which as far as I can see has the number 4232 on the door. (We also see the end of her name AH FOSTER)

(I'm getting that weird error where I cannot click on "post reply" but must use the "quote" button to get to the form.)

Whew! Lots of activity, just caught up reading. I tried "a pony" in the chat box, and i got a prompt "Are you Megan?"

Of course, I said "no" and that's as far as I got. Were you all getting that prompt with your failed attempts at guessing her gift?

Nevermind. I was mis-remembering the sequence. Anything in the chat box brings up the "Are you Megan?" query. After that, no response to "a pony". Carry on.

Anyone else just excited about the possibility of actually seeing a 2016 "updated", better looking version of MGP? (As in, the technology is far better for CGI creatures now)

So if you look through old Tagruato posts, there's this one about Hatsui Satellite Works for the Futura (http://tagruato.jp/headlines.php?story=news_08_01_03).

I know that's from the original ARG, but given what we see under Stambler's Employee of the Month page, I thought it was worth noting that this article mentions a Japanese Government Satellite, much like the Employee of the Month Page.

A couple other things: I thought it was interesting that Danh Huang has been Employee of the Month three times. I tried entering a couple other month/date years in the URL convention and didn't get any other pages.

I've also googled most of the names of Employees of the Month pretty extensively with other names (like Huang's family members) and related search terms and haven't come across anything at all.

Has anyone called the Tagruato phone number lately?
