| - Simeon Hobbes, or @simeonhobbes, is the name of a fan-made Twitter account that first starting sending out messages (or "tweets") on Friday, May 15, 2009 at 7:47am GMT/UTC, the day after the Lost season 5 finale. A fan-made YouTube channel named "thelostexperience" posted a video titled "Who is Simeon Hobbes?", containing a Morse code audio message which led people to various other websites. Simeon Hobbes seems to have stopped sending tweets, but the game has continued through the characters Epithet Alpha and Elliott Graves, as well as on websites other than Twitter. The use of the Youtube channel "the lostexperience" (created in may 2006, soon after the official 2006 ARG started) initially led many people to believe that it was the beginning of a new official ARG, while others were skeptical. Several days after, "in light of the recent controversy and hijack attempts" the creator confirmed on his blog that "this ARG is unofficial" [1]. On June 14th, 2009 "Simeon Hobbes" pulled the plug on his game, stating lack of time. He posted a long summary of what the game would have been, and gave several excuses on why he couldn't finish it. Contrary to previous statements, the game was much more "LOST" related then first let on, and significantly attempted to tell back story from the show that was non-canon.[2]
