Why the new vivala.me video is 2:21 long.

[teaandforeshadowing]

Let’s see what happens...

[apmnwq]

I got a call from Vivala this morning, this is the message they left. I never thought they’d call directly because I never received an email first like other people did. Also I don’t understand everything he says but basically it’s to inform me hat I’ve created a Vivala account some time ago and that if I have questions I can call this number or send them an email.

@worriesconstantly I think you’ll find this interesting.

So okay, why does Joey call his mom “Sammy” and not mom or some such?

Is Samantha’s husband David or Daniel?

Why does she stress the fact an average person produces 1 GB of data each day when their service offers only 1 GB total of storage?

Get thee behind me, vivala! (Seriously, this ad has never popped up for me before. WHY TONIGHT? I haven't blogged about posthumous dvds in at least two weeks...tumblr, do you have like, one sponser?)

Okay so this is the vivala.me video backwarts (well the audio), because some were wondering about it.

I’m not sure it’s helpful, I’m getting a “C’est la vie” and twice “you miss me”, but that could be coincidence. I’m currently listening to a slower version and I’ll try to write the words I’m getting down.

Also, it creeps the fuck out of me.

Fuck every theory, I want a Moriarty’s special.

I want to know his fucking story.

Posting on my side blog. I know a lot of people following this vivala.me stuff (either looking for a Sherlock connection or because it just seems like a strange site) were wondering what happens if you die (G-d forbid) during your three month trial when they only check on you every six months. By the way I sent them 3 questions (waited a reasonable amount of time in between) and this was the one they answered. The others were about if your trustees know who your verifiers are and how vivala would know about the timing of future life events like your kids getting engaged. Tinfoil time - They check on you after 6 months and the verification process takes 3. So 9 months. Like the gestation of a human baby?

Some thoughts:

They said they don’t put things on DVDs.

There’s no spot for daughter, but one for sister and brother.

Mary is an only child (to our knowledge)

Via @worriesconstantly‘s DMs, Sherlock is the “child” we’re supposed to be sending it to

Jokes have been made on the show that Sherlock is a child, but not specifically John and Mary’s child, he was childish before Mary.

Questions sent as Mary aren’t really being answered directly.

We’ve been theorizing that John is dying.

They called me again. Same stuff as the first time (”call us or send us an email if you have questions”) but it’s not the same person and not the same phone number...

And it bothers me that they call me by my first name. At the beginning she says Elena Lewis (I didn’t give them my real last name) but at the end it’s just “Bye Elena”. I don’t know if it’s common in whatever country vivala is supposed to be from to act this close with people you don’t know, but shouldn’t they call me Mrs. Lewis?

Anyway I’m always busy when they call so I can’t answer.

[mrsashdown]

Here’s my message I sent last night to vivala.me, and their answer. Well, I wouldn’t say that is exactly an answer, not to my question at least. Have others received feedback from the site?

If communicating with them this way (as I initially thought would be the way to go about it) leads to basically nothing, then maybe we should just send them stuff, videos and so forth.

What does "Sherlock arg" mean? 🙈

Hi Nonny!

Sherlock Altered Reality Game :) The Tinhatters believe that TFP was made deliberately bad, along with the “it’s not a game anymore” taglines AND the fact that the episode was titled The Final Problem, are clues to the beginning of an ARG that the creators are currently engaging us in to recreate the phenomenon and outrage of the original release of the canon story The Final Problem, wherein the audience demanded more and a proper resolution for Holmes and Watson. 

While I think that it’s poorly executed with their disregard of the LGBT+ community and aloofness with BBC’s response to it all, I can’t help but feel like that the ARG is really happening since there are WAY too many coincidences happening during this hiatus than has ever happened ever. Definitely will go down in history for SOMETHING :/

Let it also be said that WE WEREN’T EVEN THE ONES TO START THE SPECULATIONS. THAT WAS ALLLLLLL MOFFAT’S DOING.

[may-shepard]

the actress who plays the governor’s wife is uncredited?

Yesterday (god, was it only yesterday??), I added to this monster vivala.me post, speculating, along with others, no doubt, that the governor’s wife in tfp bore a vague resemblance to the woman in the really fucky vivala infomercial (at least in terms of haircolour, build, arguably that weird part in her hair, and clothing):

.

At that point in time, I wondered if she was “Velma” (Clare Foster). 

This post, however, notes that Velma (linked, via Wilhemina, to William...) is the woman in the b&w movie that Mycroft is watching at the beginning of tfp. Meaning, this woman is uncredited. There are no unaccounted for women in the cast list. 

Tags only under the cut.

For those who believe Sabatiel is part of the arg (and that includes those who think vivala.me is because I don’t know howit could be without him being since he works for phenomena!y Then what does it mean that he blocked me? I am not saying one way or another if I believe but if you believe, what would blocking a player mean? (only on twitter so far)

All I did was question the hashtags #death and #yodo as potentially incentive for a company that says they understand emotional assets are just as important as physical/digital assets.

@marcespot @worriesconstantly

Edit: Thanks, I deleted it but he goes through liking posts with the arg tag so...

[investigating-crimes]

You know what is REALLY fucky about that vivala.me company?

HOW do they know WHEN is the right time to send videos?? I mean - 16. birthday, sure, that date doesn’t change. BUT things like your child’s wedding? HOW do they know when they client’s child is getting married to send them a message? I MEAN DO THEY SPY THEIR CLIENT’S FAMILY???

[studyingsubtext]

Well

If this is a part of the ARG, then at least we have a hard end date.
