Lost Experience: Details Emerge About The O.G.R. "Booth"
Friday, 18 July 2008

Yet another Octagon Global Recruitment email arrived in my inbox this morning, along with a mysterious hidden message and surprising details about their "booth" at Comic-Con this year.

The email itself is just like the previous one, but announces that Dharma's Head of Recruiting, Mr. Hans Van Eeghan (that HAS  to be some kind of anagram or alias), will be available for the recruitment drive in San Diego this year. It also includes a link for anyone attending Comic-Con this year to be entered into a "randomly selected drawing to secure one of ten (10) pre-release appointments with one of our recruiting officers", and a link to a "volunteer eligibility assessment" at www.dharmawantsyou.com (it's either not up quite yet, or there's a trick to getting into it).

But that's not all...


Upon viewing the source code for the email, there is a hidden message in the html from someone named "RuckusGuy":


<!--
If you're reading this, wanna hear something cool?
I've got intel about his little "recruitment drive."
They're doing some kind've personality/IQ testing or something down in SD for ComicCon.
Buddy of mine works down there and has the approvals for their booth, - he says once you go in no one knows what happens inside and you need an appointment to get in. He also said to make sure you've got your Bluetooth on and visible - he's rigged up a little something.
-->

<!--
The whole thing sounds like elitist B.S., doesn't it?
Well, I?m getting in that booth and taking the test.
As many times as I have to before I "pass" (whatever that means)
And then?
If I can?
I'm gonna tape it so EVERYONE can see what these idiots are up to.
Should be fun, right?
See ya in SD.  RuckusGuy OUT.
-->



To quote Star Wars (as I am wont to do) "Here's where the fun begins".

The players are in motion - Hans Van Eeghan on the Dharma side, RuckusGuy on the fan's side. I'm going to go ahead and assume that whatever message people are given over their bluetooth at Comic-Con is going to lead to the next step in the ARG, along with the secret "footage" RuckusGuy will no doubt obtain. What shady secrets will they reveal this year? Who is Hans Van Eeghan? More importantly, who is RuckusGuy? Even more importantly, who wants to be my new best friend and give me an all-expenses-paid trip to Comic-Con this year?


Will RuckusGuy pass the test? Will he pick the Book of Laws or the knife? Will Scientology sue Dharma for swiping their schtick? Post a comment and let us know!
