over on DCPB we are posting to him that because he was meeting Ronie in Beverly Hills at 4pm and had an act to perform in NY at 6pm that he may be a Faul like Flocke...

So now on the site there are 15 frames + 1 different frame

We know that 15 will be lost, the 16th will be found.

In the first picture that was posted today (with Darlton, Paul and that other dude), you can see Sawyer in the background. My theory is that he is one of those who will be lost and that they will reveal to us one by one the 15 lost ones and then the one who is found.
I also noticed that there is the number 15 next to their hands. Coincidence or??

OK ARG moving into full swing.

Last night DCPB changed to 16 painting frames with the picture of Paul meeting Ronie is the first frame. The other frames are currently empty.

text above the pictureframes:

So, these are "hints." Some will lead to physical places, some just take you to another website. But the end result, a.k.a. the coolest part of the fun, can be achieved just by s taying in your house. No need to stand up, get dressed and start flailing your arms to your waiting car, because everyone will have a chance to get to the end result, as long a s you're online and stay tuned to this website. We'll give you everything you need to know... and soon.
clicking on the "the rules of the road" at the bottom gives you this message:

If you're on this webpage, it means you're onto something very cool. We admit it. You got us. But, please keep in mind that you can participate right from your living room. Sometimes, it might even help not to go anywhere at all. But everything can happen for you, and you'll have a great experience, just staying at home watching our website(s). Which is cool. There is no alternate reality, just reality. And if you do find yourself wanting to go somewhere outside of your house because of this webpage, even after us telling you it's not necessary, no matter where you live, we ask you to be courteous, extremely safe and know we would never ask you to do anything against the law or that could put you or anyone else in harm's way. We would never ask you to trespass and just like your Driver's Ed teacher, we discourage speeding or any sort of unsafe driving. To sum it up, everyone has a chance to get what we got, no matter where you are, so let's keep it calm, people.
clicking on the Paul/Damon/carlton/Ronie pic takes you to a poster for a show, the BananaSplitSundaes



morse code potential on the page (dots and dashes)
link to Myspace page http://www.myspace.com/bananasplitsundaes
Dharma logo's in the background of the poster

this guy taking the event photo's
http://www.thecobrasnake.com/

Theee MikeB is actually Thee MikeB http://www.myspace.com/djmikeb

BPM (which if I remember correctly was a beats per minute clue in the TLE) is taking reservations for the show
http://www.bpmmagazine.net/BananaSplit/

other links
http://dimmak.com/tv/bananasplit
http://home.dimmak.com/blog/

Fools gold is the name of the record label, it appears to be real and not a hint
http://www.foolsgoldrecs.com/blog/

The show is theoretically real, but may not part of the ARG (meaning attendance is not the key) Chances are pictures from the venue may give us clues.

Somone over at DarkUfo found that Thee MikeB twittered that Johne Locke was going to be the special guest.

And for those that do not believe that Lost U is part of the ARG, well, it had at least 6 pages update last night too.... So I will start a tracking and research thread for it too.

That is as much as I can update you right now as to what dropped over the past 5 hours.

They are real, the show is real, the poster is real. The poster most likely was voluntarily handed over to DIMG to be loaded for the ARG. Hints are given by them I am sure, but their part in the ARG will be short.

This ARG will probably be an armchair ARG. Actually showing up at the show will probably not provide any edge, but the pictures from it might.

Might bet is that they are trying to take ARG to a new level, completely blending the real with hidden ARG elements. Staged, but with using real life things and real people. Paul Scheer for instance.

ALTERNATE REALITY GAME and LOST season 6, just think on that.

Yeah, but just a thought that these could be clues to the episodes, and centric characters therein. The number associations may or may not be key? Too early to say, though.
