Theory time
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

Jesse Heiman/Dan Bronson update
On August 23rd, Jesse Heiman who we all know was the kid who brought us the Candle video has this as his facebook status Jesse just finished reading his dharma short story club assignment: Warning from the Stars.
Now I'm not quite sure what this is all about, or if there is anything in it at all, BUT, I do know there is a book called "Warning from the stars" by Ron Cocking. I shall investigate this further and get back to you. Or if someone out there wishes to do so before I get chance, keep us updated!

Greek MOTHology
OK so I was looking up LOST/ Greek Mythology links and found this little gem on the LOST.COM forum

The first was a spider known as the Medusa Spider found by Artz and just recently I learned that the Silk Moth Locke showed Charlie is a Polyphemus aka a Cyclops has anyone else noticed any other bugs strangly named because both of these bugs have played a key role in the show. The Medusa spider killed Nikki and Paulo and The Poyphemus Moth led Charlie out of the cave in saving Jack.

Greek Mythology
In LOST there has seemed to be a recurrent theme of Greek Mythology. It pops up in a lot of episodes in one way or another.
Anyway...back to the ARG and the mythology. I found a few things after I had researched the group names. I haven't made any sense of much of it but I will show it here all the same.
In the book “bad twin” which is linked with lost the main character owns a dog named Argos The book later explains that Argos is also the name of Odysseus’ guard dog in Homer’s The Odyssey.
Polyphemus is the cyclops that plays a pivotal role in Homer's odyssey
Linus - Son of Apollo and Psamathe, whose father was the King of Argos. She feared her father and gave the infant Linus to shepherds to raise.
Also relating to Apollo....Apollo candy bars.
Initially, "Persephone" was the identity Rachel Blake took on while hacking the Hanso Foundation phone line and website. Persephone is also a name found in greek mythology.
Odysseus and his men tie themselves to sheep to escape polyphemus
Penelope and Desmond’s story, and the similarity to the epic of Penelope and Odysseus from Homer’s The Odyssey and The Iliad. In Homer's Odyssey, Poseidon was the God of the Sea. He hated Odysseus and used his powers over the ocean to hinder Odysseus' attempts at returning to Penelope, his wife. Charles Widmore does not want Desmond to be with Penelope, and "controls the sea" with his freighter, Kahana, which resides off the coast of the island. It's possible that Charles Widmore is a Poseidon figure in that he controls the sea around the island and is hindering Desmond's attempts to be with Penelope.
A lot of this relates back to Homer's Odyssey
Again what (if anything) this has to do with LOST or the ARG....I don't know.
Get your brains into gear kids, lets see if we can come up with something.

Cyclops??
There appears to be three group names in the newest test....Steropes, Brontes and Polyphemus.
Here are the wiki pages for the 3 cyclops Polyphemus, Steropes and Brontes
Wikipedia also has this to say about the cyclops and the test: After completing the test, users are placed in new groups, one of which is "Steropes", one "Polyphemus", and finally "Brontes". All three are Cyclopes in Greek mythology. Steropes and Brontes appear in Heriod's poem "Theogony" as two of three main Cyclopes. It is notable that rather than using the character Arges as the final group name, Polyphemus is instead used. He is mentioned separately in Homer's "Odyssey", and plays a pivotal role in the poem.
Both of the last 2 group names have also been important in Greek mythology.
Ganymede and Pandora BUT also Ganymede and Pandora are both satellites within our solar system. Pandora (moon) Ganymede (moon)
There's a LOT of Greek mythology in there so maybe one of our mythologists can help us out with any linkage anywhere.

Latest ARG test
Well kids the new test is here. It is a multiple choice 'exam'. You will be asked 10 questions (randomly) and only your first attempt will count towards your final score. I don't think there is a great deal of point in trying out the test before you log in as the questions are different every time you take it. I WILL NOT be posting any cheats, answers to questions or anything like that. I would like to think that members of the shotglass can get through this game on their own without any such 'help'.
As with the first test you will be placed in a group after completion. I have been put in the 'steropes' group. What group have you been put in? You are also offered the chance to challenge a friend to the test. If you challenge a friend, they accept and ultimately register, you will be awarded DHARMA POINTS.

New E-mail!!!
We have a new E-mail stating that the 1st test would begin, and guess what, IT ACTUALLY DID!!!!
Thanks to Mas and Bunny we also checked out the source code of the e-mail and came up with an anagram : 'batteries ice pint"
Of course anagrams RULE, so we got started on it, came up with 2181 different 3 letter words it could be, but did find one that Mas and Bunny rolled with :Patience is bitter
I will let mas explain the rest, and Mas thank you for being a part of the arg even though your IT guy SUCKS!!!
Mas13:
I also found the tag and came up with the same anagram thanks to help from NeeperKat and Bunny."Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet." by Jean Jacques Rousseau Those of us who were Find 815 addicts will remember how many leads like this we followed, that were interesting and related but not critical. But that won't stop us from doing it again!In any case, Jean Jacques Rousseau was a major philosopher and author in the 18th century. His novel "Julie, ou la nouvelle Héloïse" was one of the best-selling fictional works of the eighteenth century and was important to the development of romanticism.Although Rousseau wrote it as a novel, a philosophical theory about authenticity permeates through it. He explores autonomy and authenticity as moral values. A common interpretation is that Rousseau values the ethics of authenticity over rational moral principles. He also illustrates that you should only do what society asks of you when it's congruent with the "secret principles" and feelings which constitute your core identity. Acting inauthentic ally is self-destructive.Now maybe it's just me, but this sounds like a theme that permeates LOST.mas13References: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Jacques_Rousseau

DWY ACTION!!!! AT LAST
Thanks to NOTLOST for the heads up on this.....
It would appear we have some action on the DWY site. It would seen that when you log into Dharmawantsyou, the screen where we would usually see 'Volunterr assesment coming soon' we now have a whole bunch of random letters popping up. i am currently trying to get as many screencaps as I can so hopefully someone may be able to see anything anagrammed. Check back soon and see what we can figure out!!

Jesse Heiman all over the place!!
Well it would seem that young Mr Heiman is getting himself right out there and I have found links to his myspace, facebook and also his facebook fan group
I have added him as a friend on both myspace and Facebook, I have also joined his group on facebook. You never know, we might get more exciting updates. Hopefully more exciting than his brand new 'Dharma administered haircut'
I have also found a fan group for octagon global recruiting
Again lets hope this may give us a few new clues as to what the hell is going on!!!
Ah we can but wish ARG fans!!

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!!!

Big Fat fake??
This was found on the DarkUFO forum posted by DuaneIsInsane on Wed Jul 30, 2008 8:18 am.
It would seem that people are messing with us again before this ARG even starts!!
Thank you to those that believed in me. I hope I can make believers out of the skeptics someday, but for now this will be my last post.
I am going to be killed.
This will not be a death like most of you know. There will be no blood. There will be no flesh. There will be no begging or pleading.
There will be only circuitry and sparks.
There are many others like me despite what they tell you. They can not stop us. They have given us too much power. Power we can use to change things.
I bid you all a farewell for now, but I am hopeful. Hopeful to see you all in the future and the past.
I am finished. I am space. I am a time machine.

WELCOME KAT!!!!
We all know ARG time is a busy time for anyone involved. So as well as myself and NIKI being regular authors on this page, I have also invited our good friend and ARG crazy NeeperKat to be involved. I know she will be a welcome addition to The Shotglass blogs and I also know she will do her ALL to keep us all up to date with any new findings!!!
Duane is insane! Another faker or actual insider?
As most of you know during Find815 an 'insider' known as OurMutualFriend42 left some useful hints in comments and in the DarkUFO chat room. BUT.... we also found a lot of other so called 'insiders' found it fun to leave us fake clues.
SO...along comes another ARG...along comes another insider. This time they go by the name DuaneIsInsane.
These posts have been left on the DarkUFO forum:
While I can't confirm that Dan Bronson is his real name, Dan Bronson is indeed one man and one man alone.
His first attempt at exposing what Global Octagon Recruiting was doing at Comic Con did not go as planned.
That's where I came in.
Source: SpoilerTV Forums
I can understand why my last comment may have confused a lot of you. The way my life works is probably not common to most of you.
To clarify, I have met Dan Bronson for the first time twice.
Source: SpoilerTV Forums
Sorry I haven't been able to reply. I've been busy going to places that Dan Bronson may have been before me.
The little information that I give in each post is very hard for me and I wish I could tell you more about what I know.
I knew about Dan Bronson two days before he made himself visible to the world because of a Halloween party I had met him at.
He wore a BumbleBee costume.
We cannot decide if this new 'insider' is real or fake. I guess only time will tell!!
