Thrilled to see something seems to be new from Synydyne -- as part of the old TIMM crew, I'm looking forward to digging into this whether it turns out to be related to This Is My Milwaukee or not.

From the old TIMM forum, in 2009:

Man, I forgot about that message. Now I have all kinds of unnessesary hope boiling up. Don't disappoint us, Syndyne!

Hey guys, I've been following this for a while. Does anyone else see a connection in the clues in each number video and the cryptic videos leading up to the numbers?

66 : "We were young heroes, gorgeous liars."
Connection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z68BAsxSXqg

63 : "We should've listened to Chief."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNZ8ds_-6B0

73 : "Tension between the districts has spiked in the last few months."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocKsfvPuLhI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azD1AHlv2oI
(this video is connected to both 73 and 56)

56 : "Omelettes aren't the only western food."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FSSR7Xo-e8

Anybody else find some connections? There's a new video out:
55 : "When we were born, we saw shapes and patterns."

You can find all this info on the wiki, I'm just trying to speculate connections and piece together some sort of picture of what we've got here. I'm really focusing more on the dates these particular videos were uploaded and if they have anything to do with each other.

I've been waiting to see whether unfiction jumped in on this one or not. It seems right up your guys' alley. I was here a bit for TIMM (though I can't recall my old username), and I recall everyone at unfiction being incredibly sharp minded. If you guys make a section for this, I'll be participating.

This is the current section for this. ARGs only get their own little part of the forum when they've actually been established as doing something more than the slowest countdown ever and require more space for brainstorming.

If there's one vague vibe I'm getting from this thing its the idea of money being a weapon. The pieced-together narrative implies several of the 'agents' or characters have something to do with finance.

There is mention of the "Regulators' Office" working with the banks. One part mentions that PB Speaker was going to use a "lien attack". Another part mentions someone gathering up mortgages, as if they were a collectible or gather-able thing. Yet another part implies two members of the team were "traders", which I can only think to interpret as stock traders.

This may be a bit of wishful thinking, but it makes me think of TIMM in two regards. One is the ever-elusive "dark dollars" which seemed to have a lot of odd implications as being something besides simple money, but which we never really figured out.

The second would be the last TIMM real world event in NYC. The group of us were accosted by the "Worker" character, and we defeated him using the "Champion Dynasty Fund" (which was explained to us to be a weapon), and by shouting "Bonus!". I always viewed this as us demanding a "Bonus" from him, which he reluctantly provided in the form of one hundred one dollar bills as he fled (which also served as a puzzle).

I know there's a lot of wishful thinking here, but I can at least see the TIMM way of thinking behind it, if not an actual connection.

Now that I've got myself thinking in RPG-esque terms, I can see money acting as a sort of magic or MP in either the TIMM or 77Days world. Maybe giving a ruby to Treasure Hunter was akin to giving him a weapon...

Well they've dragged me back to the ARG world. At least now I live in NYC so I won't have to drive 4 hrs to find something but I'm glad they're back. Would be nice to see this as TIMM continuing but I am happy to see this either way. Now to take 5 hrs to catch up

I think the biggest tell in all of this is Bender's involvement. The more I think about it, the more I'm sure it's an ARG. I keep hearing TIMM sold to Sony, but there's nothing to say he's not working with Sony or that this is independent of TIMM.

Where did you see that TIMM sold to Sony? Why would they have bought it and then destroyed it. I NEED ANSWERS, haha

Since the google doc is spiraling into madness, I was wondering if might be time to try and move our main discussion over here onto the forums. Specifically I was wondering if anyone on here has up to date spectrogram images, or at least knows how to make them. I'm open to other ideas, but it seems like the specrogram is really the most important thing going on right now.
