Octagon Recruiting

KauaiBunny · 05-30-2008, 12:14 AM

Not sure if this was seeded locally (in San Diego) or not. but there was an ad for Octagon Global Recruiting run towards the end of Lost tonight. It sounded suspicious, so I went to their website (http://www.octagonglobalrecruiting.com/) and it looks like their doing recruiting for the Dharma Initiative.

Interesting....

I haven't done any more than the opening page. Wanted to mention it here to see if anyone else has seen anything deeper.

I didn't see any other posts regarding this. Sorry if this is already been mentioned.

Little more info...
They're recruiting in San Diego July 24-27
Which happens to coincide with Comic Con (http://www.comic-con.org/) where the producers usually have some talk or such.

I followed the Terms & Conditions links and the Privacy Policy links. They both go to Disney legal pages (with Octagon's look and feel). I'm still waiting for my email from them.

The "word on the street" is that it is just a cool ad for Comic Con and not a new ARG

Maybe the word on the street is wrong though. It would be great to have another ARG to fill up the time.

I saw that, but I didn't think anything of it. I'll check out the website though.

The terms and conditions freaked me out. I didn't enter my email.

The Terms & Conditions appear to be just standard Disney boilerplate kind of stuff. Was there something there that I overlooked?

I just got an email from them.

A copy of it can be viewed at http://www.octagonglobalrecruiting.c...ails/0618.html

Looks like just some gimmick they're doing to tie in with comic con as previously speculated.
