Words Inside the Octagon Global Recruiting Booth

Hi all,

As you all know, cameras are not allowed in the Octagon Global Recruiting booth while they are conducting their test. But that didn't stop us from getting images from the screen that the testers, and only the testers, see.

According to those who have taken the test, they were given eight choices.

The first six choices are pretty easy to see. What's the last two?

First Look at Comic Con 08 Exhibit Hall!!

With the special preview night tomorrow night, the crews are busy setting up the booths for the weekend.

It seems like some of the crew members decided to take some pictures and get them posted online. Thus, we get our first look at the Hasbro Booth which has a mysterious box and is planning on focusing on the toys for the upcoming movies G.I. Joe and Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.

We also have some nice pics of the Aston Martin that will be used in the upcoming new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace.

Also some one grabbed a pic of a Ghostbusters banner. I am not sure if it is there to advertise the toy line, a video game or potentially a new movie!?

Thanks to Hisstank and TWF2005 for the pics.

OGR Planned to Keep us Busy Until Season 4

So it seems like the OGR event at San Diego Comic Con will indeed after all become a ARG that will lead into season 4.

Here are some more details:

When Comic-Con opens its doors July 24, don’t be surprised to see “Lost” fans lining up in droves — with resumes in hand.

In addition to the regular panel with showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and cast members, this year’s confab will see the presence of Octagon Global Recruiting, a company in the “Lost” universe touted in commercials during May’s season-four finale.

Fans who registered their email addresses at the Octagon website received an email last month touting the faux firm’s upcoming Comic-Con appearance.

Michael Benson, exec VP of ABC Marketing, says the campaign is aimed at keeping current fans interested until the show’s February return, and to catch the eye of people who hadn’t watched before. “We were trying to play it like it was real and not break that fourth wall,” Benson says.

While Benson is keeping mum about what will be revealed at Comic-Con, the Octagon email did have an intriguing bonus hook: It was cc’d to a Mr. Hans Van Eeghen, who may or may not have something to do with the ever-broadening “Lost” universe.

5) Additionally ound in the source code of the email, was a hidden message:

Thanks to our good friends at DarkUFO for finding the hidden message which seems like some communication from a "RuckusGuy" who seems like could end up being the new Rachel Blake (TLE) or Sam (Find815). The hidden message is posted below the OGR email.



…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.
