The Lost Experience Recap

June 26, 2006

Rachel Blake posts Copenhagen 06 on her blog. A link with-in the post leads gamers to letyourcompassguideyou.com where a link in the trash file further leads gamers to a Jeep site. Rachel?€™s latest video is then found under the heading ?€œRemovable Flashlight?€œ. A new link is added to the DJ Dan podcast site which redirects gamers to Monster.com where his latest Podcast is found among a list of business related podcasts. A new thread is added to the Retriever of Truth forum. The new thread explains that there will be ?€œHint Hunt?€? in which there will be a release of several smaller clues over the next few days that, when put together, will lead to the revelation of a bigger clue. The first clue was the first word of the first song in Cabaret, which is ?€œWillkommen?€? or ?€œWelcome?€?.

Rachel Blake posts Copenhagen 07 on her blog. With-in this new post is a link to an article about the VIK Institute posted on a GidgetGirl?€™s blog. Gary Troup?€™s interview video 7 of 9 is found on myspace.com. People who previously AIMed ROT members receive the following instant message from DSLerator: ?€œHere?€™s your next hint: 25 15 21 18?€?. By doing an alpha-numeric exchange, gamers find the second word in the ROT Hint Hunt: 25 15 21 18 = ?€œYour?€?.

After announcing her move to Iceland to follow a lead, Rachel posted her first ?€œIceland?€? post. Through a link in the post, gamers were led to garytroupbooks.com where she hid her first Iceland video. People start receiving instant messages from DSLerator, directing them to the MySpace page of a ?€œMandrake Wig?€œ, where clues for two more of the Hint Hunt words (?€?Your?€? and ?€œVideo?€?) are found in a blog entry. Hours after its initial post, the Rachel Blake Iceland video is removed from garytroupbooks.com.

Iceland 02 is posted on Rachel Blake?€™s blog. The entry offers a quick recap to what has happened to her up until this point, as well as an explanation as to why her video was removed from the Gary Troup site. A new thread is posted on the Retrievers of Truth forum by fiberoptician which details the following:

1. The password to the site will be changed, and gamers will have to register again to get the new password.
2. Gamers will receive two more clues for the word hunt in the registration e-mail (making a total of six hidden words).
3. Fiberoptician is now administering a secondary word hunt.
4. The registration e-mail will also contain a ?€œPS?€? at the end of the message with the first clue for Fiberoptician?€™s word hunt. The word, when added to the richerdeeperbroader.com url, will reveal a secret ?€œGoodie?€?.
5. Fiberoptician?€™s second clue will come on Friday June 30th via Mandrake Wig?€™s myspace site.
6. Fiberoptician?€™s third clue will be given by him somehow on Saturday July 1st.

As promised, the password to the ROT site is changed. Upon re-registering, gamers receive an e-mail, which contain clues that lead to the discovery of the new password (?€?polar bear?€?), two more words for the ?€œHint Hunt?€? (?€?Needs?€? and ?€œYour?€?), and the first word in fiberoptician?€™s word hunt (?€?Blood?€?). The first of three pieces to a document is found at http://richerdeeperbroader.com/blood/. Hours after the first piece of the document was found, gamers discovered the remaining two pieces , with out the assistance of the official clues, at: http://richerdeeperbroader.com/money/, http://richerdeeperbroader.com/sorrow/
