and the IP address of that domain does indeed land us back at 64.207.133.244 which is the same in-game server as thf.org

Woo Hoo!

Site is up!

Find the golden bars... Willy Wonka anyone?

If you switch off your brain to the fact that it doesn't really make any sense, you gotta love the free chocolate aspect of things!

EDIT: I think you can use your hansoexposed e-mail/password to log in. Anyone confirm?

[DrBunker]

Re: password; She mentions that on the site. You can use the same one.

Anyone else notice that the dates are all a month out?

Hey cool!

Except living where I do, I'll never see an Apollo bar in my life... I guess I'll just watch. Watch and hope that this doesn't become a major part of the ARG that I can't play, ha.

[Shaded Spriter]

I am going to get my housemate to take a photo of me with the bar - I am glad I kept the wrapper...

Also: It was delicious.

Edit: I am also sure that We can organise a "send ARGers candy" campain...

I so don't get this.

Some Mensch in Germany managed to get a chocolate bar? How?

It would be nice if the puzzles didn't seem like time-stretchers. And that there was a bit more story rather than "Now that we have you looking for glyphs, there is no point to actually telling you how Rachel survived being on the ship or anything."

[sidey77]

I agree with you, Shaggy. this thing's getting silly. I'm afraid it's almost bail time for me. Willy Wonka? Rachel taking all this time to release a damn video? Apollo, a hanso company, helping to destroy Hanso? It's insulting to our intelligence. I'm really getting quite annoyed.

[iamthatdizzy]

Well... has ANY of this made sence? no.

All I know is that I want an Apollo Bar, but im not willing to go from MN, to NYC.

Also, that guy from germany probably was in london, got a bar and then went home.

[theShaggy at work]

I dunno, the beginning made a bunch of sense, taken within context.

Heck, the RoTs were pretty cool (where did they go?), as has DJ Dan (in an ARG way), and I could even buy Darla and Hugh being leaks.

I used to be one of the big apologists for this game, but that was only because a lot of information kept coming out on a regular basis. New stuff every couple of days, and always from different sources.

Now, it's "find a code find a code find a code" but nothing... new or different. If the clips were longer, maybe it would be worth our while to play, but as someone said last week, this has turned into a "We'll see it on YouTube" game. Apollo Candy as Pokemon just doesn't have any precedent or reason for existing, and I'd like Rachel to maybe come out and say "So here's something else that I want to tell you! It's about this particular thing, and I have to do it through candy!" Now it's just "hey... free chocolate and codes, and I'll tell you... stuff."

Part of me refuses to believe that THIS is the culmination of the international-cooperation that was so highly touted about this thing.

Okay, I'm going to try to stop being so bitter, at least until I can get home and log in properly

well, my impression is that Hanso acquired Apollo, and has been using their resources to infiltrate the human race with experimental compounds which have been discovered on certain secret island locations. It would be nice if Rachel told us a little about that, like "DON'T EAT THE CHOCOLATE! IT'S POISONOUS!" but then fFrom a meta standpoint, that would be tough to have play out. give out candy and have people not eat it? no, that wouldnt work. So there's uhm .. some sort of kloos on the chocolate, somewhere, which she wants us to fFind.

It is possible, by the way, Hanso is playing us like a harp. Like say if Rachel were a bad guy, fFor example, and has been fFeeding us lies.
