Classi: Thanks for the links. All of them are now being watched by me.

Schwinn, I have to say, the filenames are interesting on those pictures:
brightmanp.jpg
brightmanp2.jpg
frank_k450.jpg
frank2.jpg
lincolntb_l1vr.jpg
lincolntb2.jpg
lineman.jpg
lineman2.jpg
tresle.jpg
tresle2.jpg

Looks like Wulf was spot on with the Donnie Darko reference. The bunny pictures are named "Frank".

What I don't get is the filename of the other pictures. Brightman P? It's obviously a reference to the Brightman building, but the P?

Lincoln T is Thomas Lincoln, but the b and the l1vr throws me off.

Lineman is the woman. Have we heard of a Lineman yet?

[classical]

Also!
Ryutso: here is our Fantastic Four. These are the ones likely to be updated first with puzzles and whathaveyou. Some of them may look deceptively blank, but that is how I'm Sorry rolls, y'know?

And these have been used for stuff recently though they are no longer updated, but who knows:

The main ones are the first four, though. Rage is the only one who twitters actively (@ArlenRage) but King has an account (@klokworkalex) that he uses to contact me from time to time.

also, we need to have a party or something when the thread hits 100 pages.

[classical]

Wait wait wait, what are you getting at, Wulf?
Because I think I just came to a totally opposite conclusion... aaaand we have another problem.

Port's blog was updated:

Elil on the Down wrote:

***ALL AGENTS RUN NOW*** Contingency: Fiver12 - rot(22)

And I got an email from Hatch's address:

Beware. There is a traitor in our midst. The writer is in grave danger.

Ryutso: Erf, I'm gonna have to spoil the entire movie then, but:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The bunny was Donnie's sister's boyfriend, Frank, appearing to him as he would appear later on Halloween when he accidentally kills Donnie's girlfriend.

emails from Bricker--apparently my photos helped!

Quote:

I do remember, Courtney. Rereading your past few e-mails and looking at those photos made something click. Like finally getting a sliver out that has been bothering you for days. It just slides out and suddenly it's all good. But things aren't all good, are they? I remember a week or so ago I was up late writing on a trauma response project and I heard something out in the livingroom. It's still a bit of a blur, but there were people...dark figures that I can't quite remember. There was the metallic sting of a needle into the back of my mouth, into the hinge of my jaw. I can still hear it squeaking inside my head. And the taste of something bitter. There were images...flashing images of something and I can remember noticing the leather of my couch up close to my eyes. I can remember, just for a moment, realizing where I was as I looked at the patterns in the leather...and then I was gone again into a whirlwind of blurred images. But I get what you are saying now, I do remember. I bought you and Justin lunch and I went online and looked at my bank statement and it was there. It was real. You are real. I'm real. I get it. But that means that the world really is going to end in 20 days.

OMNIOUS! But I basically replied, 'good, now let's get you the hell out of there'. I don't know who exactly is our "traitor" here, but I have a pretty decent idea...

I don't know, never seen it. Who was the bunny, Wulf?

[Wulf74]

Forgive me if I'm the only one that hasn't seen this. But realization just hit me like a ton of bricks..

If you've seen the movie Donnie Darko - who was the bunny?



It's been staring us in the face since day 1. The comments; "I've take part of my life and made it Ports". The similarities to Rage..
Man i feel like an idiot.

Just not to make my last post any longer. Here is the link to the question about locomotive breath...

Lyrics:

Quote:

In the shuffling madess Of the locomotive breath, Runs the all-time loser, Headlong to his death. He feels the piston scraping -- Steam breaking on his brow -- Old charlie stole the handle and The train wont stop going -- No way to slow down. He sees his children jumping off At the stations -- one by one. His woman and his best friend -- In bed and having fun. Hes crawling down the corridor On his hands and knees -- Old charlie stole the handle and The train wont stop going -- No way to slow down. He hears the silence howling -- Catches angels as they fall. And the all-time winner Has got him by the balls. He picks up gideons Bible -- Open at page one -- Old charlie stole the handle and The train wont stop going -- No way to slow down.

Looking at Classi's picture from ARGFest I noticed something... on the table, to Brickers right... A Satrbucks coffee cup! More proof!

[Ryutso]

Hey Classi? I don't mean to sound like a newb again but is a there a list of blogs that you can link me to so I can add them to my RSS reader?

Also, what Twitter Accounts are still up that I should follow?

=edit=

Okay this weirds me out. I checked the properties on the yahoo picture and it shows that it was created with Picasa. I can't help but think we should start looking for a Picasa account.

However I could just be over-reacting.

Honestly, I don't think we're supposed to sit on our hands until the 31st.

You just called it, 'cause guess what! The Brightman Oracle blog just got updated with the image below, post entitled "Find Me".

Leads to this and I'm hitting a brick wall--where did we encounter Locomotive Breath again? I know it was posted on one of the blogs, at some point... not that I can really go back through them and look for it. );

I'm wondering if this is another one of those "false leads" again, though.

edit;; answered my own question (thank you site search function)
It was right after Ron happened, before the thread got pulled; the Hazeltine blog had the lyrics and the Anderson image posted to it... I think, if I'm rereading my own writing right... jeez...

Heh - that's really a mustache. They were handed out to people that were asking "hard" questions - so it was a Snidley Whiplash evil kinda representation.

Honestly, I don't think we're supposed to sit on our hands until the 31st. The only down time so far in all of this, is when we were supposed to be figuring something out, and were failing to do so. I could be wrong, but it's like an itch between my shoulder blades I can't reach.

I think its time to go back through the book I was sent by Port. Rage mentioned it would start making sense soon. Maybe its time. If anyone else s interested in reviewing it - I posted a link to all of the pictures of it, back when I first received it. If you can't find it, I'll try to and repost the link...

==edit==
Here is the link to the package I received from Port way back in the beginning http://bit.ly/YRk36
And here's the package classical and I received in Portland http://bit.ly/CqgQB

I had taken a short video of when we got the package out of the safe at the hotel, and I'm desperately trying to find it, but I'm afraid it's gone due to the virus..arrgghhh

Which... I'm not going to get into again to start beating the dead horse. Wulf and I wrote up about the experience back in the thread somewhere. Though, hahaha, actually, that WOULD be a mustache. Someone was handing out stick-on mustaches every time someone asked a question.

[classical]

The powerpoint pictured was actually Tenenbaum's (uF admin) piece, which did comment on a lot of things that happened here and elsewhere in lineblurry games. The whole panel was supposed to be on games that were really blurring the lines, but as it turned out to be, it was more of an open forum for people to launch insults at the panel members. Which... I'm not going to get into again to start beating the dead horse. Wulf and I wrote up about the experience back in the thread somewhere.

[Ryutso]

I'm looking at the picture Classi and I see a powerpoint on "taking it underground because Privacy is not respected". I remember you guys saying back in the thread about the deletion of this one, that you and Wulf and Schwinn would take this ARG underground if you couldn't do it on UF.

What was the whole powerpoint/discussion with Bricker actually on?

Also, I know it's the little microphone stub, but in the second picture the woman that Bricker is talking to looks like she has a mustache.

[classical]

Ahhhh so much meta, so little to actually do. Brings me back to the beginning of all this, it does. /sniffle

In any case, I'm trying some desperate attempts to help Bricker get his head screwed back on straight, or you know, as best as I can over email. Including finding my lost camera and digging up the few non-blurry pictures I actually took of Bricker in Portland (he's the guy in white). Damnit, I wish I'd thought to get a picture of the three of us... would be rather helpful right now...

Can someone just clarify when we last heard from Rage/King?

Rage tweeted something back on the 16th of August; I got a d'tweet from Port on the 14th, though he never responded back to what I said back to him.

Isn't Randall supposed to be the one who's going to help us get Port and Rage (if he's that stubborn about going) into the Institute? Yet he claims that NONE of these things exist in this reality. Anyone else find this a bit...odd? I had mentioned a lot of this when we first got that strange email from Randal, but there's so many directions to go, so many possible theories, so much meta to get caught up in again. I think we'd best be careful, and just proceed with what we've been given. Hmmm, fair enough. So we just wait till the 31st? Seems like it. Hopefully something doesn't happen to Bricker before then. *knock on wood* Although I, personally, still maintain my "3 levels of Game" theory. EDIT: Thanks Schwinn Also, about Gad's/Wulf's theory on why Randall is helping but saying Port/Rage don't exist, could Randall exist to help Bricker himself finish the story and write Port/Rage into the Brightman?

That, I must say, is quite plausible. Well done on that. Though wasn't he meant to help us hack into the GPS feed or something? Liking that theory alot though.
