Right, we have nothing to theorize about on the show so here is my little thought about the ARG.
At ComicCon we all saw the Dan Bronson video, with Mr Candle/Wickmund/Pierre telling us how the DI had to be reformed and the purge had to be stopped. Well here is something to think about. What if, the point of this ARG and the DI giving us jobs is for US the fans to be directly linked in the whole purge stopping business? I mean how cool would that be? WE get to help stop the purge. I can't think of any other reason why we would be getting DI employment.
I know this thought is a bit out there, but why else do we have The Shotglass? Crazy ass thoughts are us!
Let me know what you think kids

New Official PodCast and intresting stuff
Thanks to our own Keeping pace, he found an official podcast on ABC.com, the link is: http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index?pn=podcast#t=3421
It is basically the ComiCon Lost panel Q&A, it is 30+ minutes long so if you don't want to listen to the whole thing you can see the transcript of some of the questions, answers, the rewards (polar bears, Jack figures, and DVD's oh my!) and of course Matthew fox! To see this just go to here: http://livelost.blogspot.com/2008/07/lost-panel-question-and-answers.html, you can also see the video on Darks site as well. Now the podcast does have a lot more info than what is posted on Darks page, so if you do get the chance, listen to the podcast!
Now at the beginning of the podcast, I found it very interesting, you may have seen the videos, if not I will link them here!! What I found interesting is when D&C made there announcement of a new sponsor, the Dharma Initiative!!! Then Hans Van Eeghan walked onto the stage. D&C introduced him as the Executive Vice President in charge of recruiting for Dharma. Well Hans went into to explain that for the past three days they had been conducting ASR tests, Aptitude Stability and Readiness. He said that out of hundreds of applicants, and seeing as Dharma thought Comicon was a good place to find bright individuals to work for them, he found the test results, abysmal. He said that they were totally pathetic, "that the people there were boys and girls in a state of Perpetual arrested development". Now we all know why this happened, because us losties were not there, we were all here chatting and waiting for it to come online. If we had been there we would have shown him whats up!!!! Well he said that there were 5 people That had done exceptionally well. On the video the showed these 5 people and there names clear as day, could this be a hint? Could there names be anagramed? I wonder!!
The 5 people are:
Jennifer Pritchard
Liam Brucker
Allison Gibbons
Dan Bronson
Matthew Loberg
Later on Dan stole the mic, and told everyone he had video taped what we know now as the Marvin Candle video, and he would share it. To that Hans walked backs on stage, pulls his sponsorship as D&C are laughing, telling them that it had turned into a circus.
To watch the videos, there are a few of them, and I am still not good at this linking thing, go to:http://www.docarzt.com/lost-clips/video-of-the-panel.php
I know this was long, but I have a feeling these 5 people are important for some reason, whether it is in the name, or just that out of hundreds or people these were the only people who were chosen and were told they were exceptional. Now we have all taken that test by now, HOW in the hell can you be exceptional at answering some of those questions?
Much thanks to KP, Apopheniac79 and BooDog for there help!!!

Live From EW Visionaries Panel
So we are live from the EW panel here at CC pics and details to follow.
Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof are scheduled to appear.
1:50 Panel has started with producers of LOST, Pushing Daisies, Chuck and Sarah Conner Chronicles
1:55 Questions to other producers.
2:00 D&C - Want to be referred ad Terminator *Crowd Laughs*
Question about adding hours to finale and Season 4 because of a the strike. The Sawyer Kate Kiss scene was a quick kiss. Bummed about not being able to get some stories, such as freighter folk, which will be covered in S5.
2:05 Gen Question about webisodes to all producers. SCC Producer answers. Economical way to communicate MORE.
Carlton Cuse - New platforms offer new opportunities like ARGs are allowed. Another one already started. The content is primarily for online only.
Damon Lindelof: Do the Mobisodes breakthrough to the masses, probably not but primarily for Die Hard fans. Damon drops an F Bomb....crowd goes crazy!!
LOL
Question about Joss Whedon's Dr Horrible
Damon: During the strike they discussed what they wanted to do before the show starts, of course not able to go back and do them. Whendon-verse created, done all by himself is amazing and in "Awe"
Carlton: Jokes about Zombie Season crowd loves it
SCC Season 2: Connected to movie or no? No McG does his own thing is ok.
2:10 Chuck LOST Crossover - Chuck produver says Chuck is real that is why they had the crossover. Carlton jokes that we told him that if they reveal anything that they would kill him.
Question about character v mythology.
Carlton: Mainly character driven show, but mythology is like the frosting on the cake.
Damon: Sense of gene is bad do not get TOO weird because might alienate. But every year a show that pushes the envelope with mystery and genre elements is the talk of the industry. Embrace it and go from there even if you are not a scifi fan.
Dark Knight and Iron Man genre movies and top grossing movies so why shy away!?
Carlton: Best to leave some things mysterious adds to the story, sometimes answer a mystery it weakens the story
2:15 Damon: Love Comic books, because serialized story that is ongoing. Mentions Watchmen story being an inspiration for LOST universe.
Fans rush to ask questions!! LOST LOST
2:20 Host says Constant was favorite episode.
How was it mapped out?
Carlton: Took 5 weeks, glad with strike because gave them time.
Damon: Almost impossible to explain to somebody. How do explain the whole flashes of Des
Worked on making sure there was a payout and it hit emotions. Bryan Fuller says best
Fans Questions.
1 - Characters came and go? Like to see come back - Mischa Barton.
Carlton says Eko. Crowd goes crazy. AAA got island fever so we had to write him off.
2:30 Tapdwag introduces himself and Carlton says this wll be about Gossip Girls. Crowd laughs.
Poor guy. He asks who writes the new ARG? New one is done by Hoodlum Find815 crew)
Jopiniated asks origin of Jeremy Bentham name?
List of philosophers and once we knew Locke we went with Bentham
Now typing with one hand lol
2:35 Charlie dying, but Aaron with Kate, and NOW Claire might not be around. How is this possible.
D&C: You will see Claire, but maybe not for awhile and it will be explained and will make sense. Sometimes there are paradoxes, but have a "plan"
2:40 Question about Time Travel
Carlton jokes will tell you tomorrow. Our characters can not change the future. FF is what you will see happen and won't change.
Damon: Jokes about networks worrying about TOO many time travel related shows
Stories seen on different screens across the world, how does that effect filming?
Carlton: Knew the mobisodes were on small screen, so planned accordingly and planned the story and production around it. Always thinking about the DVD format and digital format.
Fan LOVES Lost - Once in awhile how often do you plan in advance and how much spur of the moment?
2:45 Damon talks about the fan debate about plan v made up. End of 3rd season was a little of both, but now we have a plan. Before we were in a place where we did not know how long we had left to write the story.
Knew hatch at end of Season 2 will blow up, but things like where when who was adjusted.
Producers discuss each others show and Damon says Dexter is his favorite show
End of panel......AND I gave the Team ODI shirts to Damon and Carlton and they loved them!!!

Test Catagories
Pic comes from The Spoiler Hunter, who shot the categories inside the booth. Some were partially obscured, but using WP's moon list, it was easy to work out the last two with a different angle he also uploaded (once you have the first few letters, there's only one logical answer). So here's the list, all moons of Jupiter (though they picked random ones)...

Io
Europa
Ganymede
Callisto
Amalthea
Himalia
Elara
Leda
Again, a weird combo? I see on Wikipedia that there are other ones bigger than the latter four (the former four of course are the ones first seen by Galileo). First letter acronyms at work? Come on, there must be something!

We are getting closer!!!!!
Thanks to burncycle16 who sent images to Lostpedia, there may be an answer to the question of what this new ARG is titled. On a legal document, given as part of the eligibility test, there is the info, "I am aware that ABC is preparing and producing an interactive, fictional entertainment work, which is currently titled Dharma Initiative Recruiting Project ("The Project")."
