Dharma Doesn't Want You

The DharmaWantsYou.com alternate reality game has taken a break.

Over the past few months, the website has hosted a bunch of mini-online games and quizzes; you, as a new recruit to the Dharma Initiative, could play all the "tests" and your results on the games supposedly determined how well you would do as a member.

Throughout the game, a handful of recruits got e-mails from a mysterious character known as the Black Swan, who would help them cheat on some of the tests. When the seventh and final test was put up, however, all it was was a video of the head of recruitment, Hans Van Eeghen, telling you that he had been Black Swan all along, and it was simply a test of your integrity to see whether you'd cheat or not.

I was never contacted by Black Swan, so I guess that means I'm off the hook.

Anyway, things are going to resume on December 15th, when, according to the site, "registered recruits will be able to download a personalized Volunteer Assessment Dossier outlining their full results as well as their allocated department and role within the Dharma Initiative."

No doubt this whole thing is timed to end right when the fifth season of Lost begins at the tail end of January. As of now, it hasn't really amounted to anything, so I'm curious what they have in store.
