Good idea, Jeebus. I got mine last week, really early in the morning...

This hasn't gotten me anywhere, but it's interesting: March has 32 days... Just kidding April fools!

While googling "Hans Van Eeghen", I came across some more interesting info regarding this "March has 32 days" comics on the Lostpedia blog from the comments made by poster "daysleeper" & "Wahidiyya Kosmotikos" (who only has this profile since June 2008 Confused

).

All very lost related! Good stuff.

And as mentioned before, wouldn't March 32 be another name for April 1? April Fools?

Yeah April's fool was also my first reaction when I saw the title. But so far the comics itself seems to be legit. (Maybe the comics fans on this board could shed some light as to how to verify the legitimacy of the title?)

Also 3+3+2=8, another lost number. Very Happy

thought i would drop a clue if you could call it that, Hans Van Eegan is an anagram for Save Ann Hagen. www dot annhagen dot com seems pretty benine but thought i would post anyways...
Surely we're not dealing with a save a spy scenario again are we?

Thanks JAS... Very Happy

I may have gotten my signals crossed a bit, or I was looking at things with old eyes...

I was looking for the MediaTemple servers... Guess I'm still living in the TLE past... Laughing

TF: Same here!! MediaTemple server is the very first thing I look for in every lost-related WhoIs. Laughing

I didn't think there's a need to look further until the eyes jumped randomly to the registration date.

hey

I've never played an ARG but kind of followed what other people were doing in the first one, I found out about it way too late and was somewhat overwhelmed lol.

Anyhoo, I'm just about technical enough to view a page source, but does anyone have any tips for the other stuff you've mentioned, the WhoIs or something... I've read the whole of this topic and I think I need to prepare myself a bit better if I seriously wanna play. Any advice or mini-tutorials would be very welcome!

By the way no ones mentioned this yet, but I went one a dutch translation site and

Van Eeghen = Of Them

sound very "Others" related Smile

Welcome klee !!!

Once this game begins full swing, just jump in and enjoy... There are a lot of us here that don't mind helping if you find yourself in a pickle.

Viewing page source can definitely be helpful, as they sometimes like to bury clues in the HTML code...

WhoIs is just a way to find out who the webpage is registered to, and what servers it's hosted on... We mainly use that to determine if a site is "in-game" or not. There were quite a few fan sites that popped up during TLE, so it was handy to check WhoIs, so we didn't spend a bunch of time on unofficial sites... The easiest thing to do with WhoIs is do a Google search on it... That will point you to websites where you can get the registration info.

Depending on how the game goes, you may also want to search for sites that help with decoding, for things like binary code, Hex code, ROT-13, anagrams, etc... You'll probably end up bookmarking those things for easy access.

Good catch on the Dutch translation of Van Eeghen... I haven't run across that one yet. Very Happy

I got my email a while back but, as I was in the Canadian boonies, I didn't reply to it until yesterday. Hopefully we'll see some action over the next month.

ETA: I'll try and keep a list of ARG events on page one of this thread unless someone wants to take over. Lemme know if I miss anything. I guess we can list the fan sites on the normal sticky.
