Puzzle #2, Day #4

Hmm, S didn't reveal much either for you fine readers. That's two straight days of disappointment for some of you. Well I'm feeling generous today, so you get to pick another vowel AND another consonant! Exciting, I know. :-P

Here's the puzzle so far:

Puzzle #2, Day #3

Ouch! While the letter A came out on top yesterday, it only yeilded one letter in the puzzle. I'm sure most of you had already figured out which letter the A was anyway.

Here's the puzzle so far:



Let's see if today's poll will be a little more helpful for you all.

Puzzle Clue #1 (Day 3)

Hangman Puzzle Clue #1

UPDATE 7/23: "E" won yesterday's letter and all the "E"s have been revealed. Today you get to choose two letters, so make your votes count!

As promised, here is Project Redshirt Hangman! It works just like regular hangman, but with a few twists. Instead of you just guessing a letter, I will provide letters for you in a poll. Vote for whichever letter you would rather see revealed. After 24 hours, the most popular letter will be chosen. If it is in the word or phrase, I'll show all instances of that letter in the word or phrase of the week. If the most popular selection is not in the word/phrase, you earn a body part.

If you think you know what the word/phrase of the week is, put your guess in the comment section. If you get it right, I will fill in the blanks and you'll have your clue! If you can't guess the clue in a week's time, you will not get the full clue. It will be up to you, dear readers to solve the weekly puzzles and collect the clues. Will you be able to make sense of them and learn the secrets of Project Redshirt? You'll have to wait and see!

Since I'm a little late on getting the Project Redshirt Hangman game going, I'll make this week's clue a tad shorter. You'll have until Sunday to figure out what the word below is. Each day I'll put up a new poll so you can pick more letters to be revealed. Here is your first Hangman Clue of the Week:



And here are your letters to choose from. Today you get to pick as many letters as you want, but only the top two vote-earners will be revealed tomorrow. Good luck!Got suggestions for tomorrow's letters? Throw them in the comment section!

Project Redshirt Needs Your Help!

With less than six months to go before the projected launch date of Project Redshirt, I look to you, the readers of this site to help spread the word.

While I understand that Project Redshirt is not some phenomenon sweeping the Lost-o-sphere, I'd appreciate it if some of you fine folk would mention it on any Lost forums that you frequent. I don't expect my little project to become a major hit among all Lost fans on the Internet, but I aim to please those who should come upon it. It is being created for the fans by a fan.

Probably most of you know me from my contributions to DarkUFO's site and may think of me as some kind of quasi-celebrity amongst the Internet Lost scene. Since I have this level of recognition and possibly even the respect of lots of Lost fans online, I am (as I have said before) trying to use my quasi-celebrity status (which I still tend to reject) to bring Project Redshirt to as many people as possible.

The way I see it, why wait until the final project is finished before spreading the word? I'm already confident in Project Redshirt and I hope that my confidence gives you assurance that I'm not going to screw this thing up and give you enough confidence in the project to help me out by creating a little buzz for it where you can.

So talk it up, if you like. I'm currently looking to make a few affiliations with some popular Lost sites to throw some official support my way, but I'm going to have to prove to them that Project Redshirt will deliver before they fully get behind me. I am, afterall, just another Lost fan with a crazy idea. Sometimes they work brilliantly, while other times they crash and burn. I respect the decisions of these sites to be wary of the project as it is still in its infancy.

That means I need you guys more than ever. All you have is my word that Project Redshirt won't suck. I hope that is enough for now. :-)

Answers to Your Questions!

...are coming soon.

Sorry for not posting anything for such a long time. I've been busy with the new house and wedding plans and all. I can tell you though that two weeks from today I will begin revealing clues about Project Redshirt.

Much in the same way that Doc Arzt and DarkUFO reveal spoilers and secrets, I will be using the game Hangman to reveal tiny tidbits of information and clues as to what Project Redshirt will be. A new game will begin each week and I've got quite a number of clues ready for you all to figure out. The weekly puzzle may be a whole sentence or just one word that offers some insight to the project, but either way, some of your questions will be answered and the gaps will begin to fill in.

If you have specific questions regarding the Project, throw them in the comment section and I'll see if I can tailor the answer into a weekly Hangman puzzler!

Only a few more posts to go before the wedding/honeymoon, so keep your eyes open this week for new opportunities for how you can be involved with Project Redshirt.
