LOST Experience: Glyph 33 Shenannigans?
On August 10th, Glyph 33 with the code “GLLV8B” was found through a glyph hunt administered by the guys at thelostexperienceclues.blogspot.com.
It was quite a day since this was the first time in the ARG that a glyph hunt was administered by out of game characters. However, because of a previous stunt that the guys pulled with the Save Joop site, many people (including myself) were skeptical as to the validity to their claims of having a glyph. As a result, people on LOST sites all over the net were claiming SHENANNIGANS! BUT… As it turns out, they did have a glyph and perhaps in the near future after the ARG ends, the guys will fill us in as to how they became in-game insiders. I know that I would sure like to know. This was just another example that glyphs could now come from anywhere on or off the net.
Well, there is no real point on doing a recap when no one could possibly explain it better than them.
From TLEC.com: Clue #99 - Fragment Code “GLLV8B”
What Happened?
We posted with a quote and a link to savejoop.com. On savejoop.com, if you click where it says, “this commercial” you will be taken to a youtube video that is an amatuer commercial for a new “Glyphs Can Be Fun” t-shirt. At the end of the commercial, you’ll notice the phrase, “myspace.com/randomempire” flash across the right side of the screen. If you go to that myspace, you’ll find a blog post with the following message “CRAFTED GNOME: David told us he needed to hide something here and he said anyone familiar with Rachel Blake would know what to do. He said that there were 2 pathways to Rachel’s latest code and that he wasn’t sure which would be fastest: CONFIDED FOR US or TIGHTEST PROPHET CUE.” These clusters of words were taken as anagrams for “FRAGMENT CODE”, “FIND US FOR CODE”, & “PUT THE PICS TOGETHER.”
Most of the top 10 commenters from this blog (all that we could find email addresses for - we’re so sorry lhorse007) were entrusted with pics/pieces of pics that, when put together, would reveal the code. Also two of the administrators of this site had “Glyphs Can Be Fun” t-shirts and decided to give them away to anyone who could find them today. Ultimately, William (from our podcast/Young Wallace, blogger name) was wearing the shirt and Lena (from Team Lena) found him in Oregon. She posted a few pics of the shirt and the rest is history!
It was really a great glyph hunt, but I would deffinitly have enjoyed it better if there wasn’t the “Is this legit, or are they pulling another stunt” question lingering over the whole thing. Still, it was fun, and grats to the guys at TLEC for making it in-game.
