I did find some new text to anagram around with in the website version of the e-mail:
Batteries Ice Pint…
Working on it now.

It Cries Be Patient!
from the comments on Dark UFO -
Patience is Bitter...
From a Rousseau quote - Patience is bitter, but it's fruit is sweet.
An old turkish proverb.

So I scored a big fat zero on the first Dharma test. Never been any good at that kinda crap. I hope the whole ARG isn't like that, or I'm gonna be screwed  |

Do you think that's just telling us who are playing the game to wait? It seems like it. They have all to be apologetic for if you ask me (but that's just me) |

Whoooooo- *record scratch* A puzzle?
Well, I take what I can get and that was kinda fun! I can't wait until they get the Leader Board up and running....And then we can start collecting Dharma Points....Any ideas on the "special tasks" we'll have to do?

Man, I still haven't been able to try out this 'test1' thing - the website isn't working. They REALLY need to upgrade their server.
Grr.... MUST...HAVE...PATIENCE....

Indeed. I remember reading on DarkUFO's page for this ARG that people had gotten so frustrated with the wait, they actually called the company that is in charge of making the game. This was back when everyone was waiting for the opening of the DWY site.
Hah, I agree, Ben. I'm sure ABC has the money for it!
Also, Mermaid, I dunno about any special tasks.. I figure we'll be doing several weeks of tests (though I wouldn't mind special tasks =D).

My theory about this game was that it would be FIND815 meets TLE.
Because we would be doing tests and stuff on the surface, but in the seedy underbelly of Dharma we would be finding page sources and going to secret websites and stuff and helping Dan Bronson, so it would be like - fun and games, and hacker stuff.
Which would be cool because we'd get our fun rankings and at the same time take down the Dharma Initiative, LOL.

Well, most likely ABC had a bunch of companies bid on doing this thing. These guys won it again and underestimated what it would take, just like they did last year. They are likely on a fixed quote based on what they bid to win doing this whole thing. Most likely they are scrambling to fix this issue of server capacity and load balancing, etc. I just hope they figure out how to fix it before too much time goes by because people have little patience for this kind of failure - especially in this day and age - they are really screwing up.
Basically my main point is that ABC is primarily at fault for choosing this company to do this thing, but this company is at fault for screwing it all up and they need to fix it or most likely some people at ABC will be pretty pissed.

^ Word. I would hate to be the guys in charge of this. Think of how much pressure is being put on them right now--One the other hand, they had to know they would be dealing with crazed Lost fans. How could they have underestimated so much?
I know we were saying this around the time it was being launched but hopefully all the kinks will be kinked(?) out here in the beginning so that we won't have these problems later on in the game. I guess in the grand scheme of things we have all the way until 2009 to have fun with this ARG...It is just the beginning...

It's easy if you just find the edge pieces, and don't click anything till you've worked out your first move - (because the timer doesn't start until you click a piece) |
