LOL, nice one, danteIL!

You guys are doing a superb work. I feel so dumb among you!

Is there any way I could help? I am good doing research.

Hey, here's something to help with:

https://www.reddit.com/r/10cloverfieldlane/comments/45kpq2/tagruato_deep_sea_drilling_stations/

http://tagruato.jp/deepsea2.php

Check the Tagruato site for locations of their stations and see if the coordiantes match anything we got right now!

(Again much love to Reddit for this)

I'm kicking myself for not realising this myself, but that site is so old and borked it does not work on any of the mobile devices I tend to use, so I can't navigate any of the links easily. :/

But really though, I am no prepper nut but who here would love to start making a bugout bag?? *twitch*

It's actually not paranoid at all to have a bug out bag ready (although I don't, oops) not just because of unlikely paranoid scenarios like nuclear holocaust or zombie uprising.

If you live in a flood plain, hurricane, tornado, earthquake or tsunami prone area, near a nuclear power plant, or just someplace that gets cold and stormy in the winter (or even in case of a fire) your local government probably already reccomends it, and even has plans on how to make a good one.

It's really, truly, the least crazy thing Howard talked about.

Although much like doing fire drills in your own home, nobody does it cause it seems like overkill. Until it's too late.

I lived in Tokyo during the big quake in 2011, and for weeks, our supplies were delayed. You could seriously not find bread, toilet paper, or bottled water anywhere. For weeks, we had daily aftershocks of 6 on the richter scale and up. You can bet that from then on, I had an Earthquake bag (basically the same as a bug-out bag) stashed right by the door from then on. It's a great idea, not crazy at all. I also stocked enough drinking water for one person for two weeks, just in case. Very Happy

That said, back to coordinates! I got a random spot in the country of Mali, in West Africa. It's not near any of Tagruato's drilling stations, at least not what's on the map.

It's kind of brilliant to put clues in the trailers shown at movies you want people to go and see.

Edit- we still need the Pretty in Pink data- yes?

I wonder if the creators of this campaign read these posts and think "It's right in front of them! The Game of Life, the Navy monkey, all of it. It's all right there!"

I actually know a lot of people with bug out bags, or just general emergency preparedness kits - totally a normal thing to do. I know a lot of campers, geocachers, and Girl Scouts {HI!!!} - they are typically excellent at making these kits. Preppers take things one step further, and usually do it with a belief that something specifically is coming to end the world as they know it {government, environment, aliens, etc}.

Trying to make some sense out of these numbers. To me, it seems that there are numbers attached to each of the subliminals except the sailor/pants one. They carefully made sure we saw the numbers they featured in the other pics but the only way you can get 15 for the sailor is by finding the original pic (fig 15) which you cant see in the trailer shot.. Also, the serial number for the survival kit does not resemble the others found of present day examples to compare. They have many digits while we have the 0 12 (or 12th one ever made?).. Very doubtful they could even find a pic of that....
So, somehow, we have to get something from the numbers in the other pics, find the right order and where to insert them to get ??

In the pictures of the survival/pants screen grab that I've seen, it looks like the image might also include the original caption as well (very fuzzy there at the bottom?). If so, that would make "15" more relevant.

But what we absolutely need are better high res pictures of these things.

Great work, everybody!
At least we know, that THEY are playing with us (OMG, I do already sound like a conspiracy theorist). The communication via trailer was awesome back to Super8 times, and they do it again with crowdsourcing. This has a huge PRO being communicative, making people work together on the same clues, to go into cinema (to pay for movie, yes), to open their eyes and to solve the hints collectively!

It has a small CONTRA as well, with codename "non US resident". Back to Super8 it was so cool to take part on such trailer communication camaign since the trailers were available online, everybody could examine them with their tools. Now the non-US residents like me have to wait for witnesses (afaik here in Germany we haven't such trailer flashes).

Oh yes, non-US residents was alway crucial problem... And I fear I screwed up Paramounts once, with my entry to Super8 comic contest :/

Anyway, kosmo, enough to fuss around, there are online contents like FUPT.

 Coordinates Theory

Looks like whomever mentioned coordinates is onto something. Decided to check the coordinates of New Orleans with a topographical map.

See here: http://bit.ly/1KNT57I

If we can figure out what numbers go where, we should be able to find the location we are being directed to.

I actually threw together a BOB for another ARG, for the book This Book Is Full of Spiders. The scenario was, as if I have to say it, zombie apocalypse. Rolling Eyes

I probably would've been the first to die. Hehe.

In the last year my wife has really wanted to be more prepared so we've stocked up on canned goods, lots of water, flashlights, toiletries, etc.

-90 longitude going straight through New Orleans is probably a good indicator that's the area of interest.

Also I'm in Spokane, WA, so IF the phone number turns out to be something local I can look into it IRL. But I'm highly doubtful the numbers have anything to do with Spokane and the surrounding area.

Yeah I've seen people try to make it fit New Orleans and I'm not a huge fan. If you can just put any of the numbers in any order you want, you can make it fit almost any location you can think of.

The numbers need to be in a order that is logical, that come out of some kind of reasoning. Otherwise it's just total chaos.

As much as I appreciate Reddits speed and enthusiasm, they have the attention span of toddlers and seem to have already moved on, when we desperately need a better clearer picture of 1A. I'm just busy, and unsure if those trailers got sent to Canada (though AMC is luckily the only one of those chains we have up here).

There is also space for an extra digit in the first set of numbers. It doesn't HAVE to be there (with the the way coordinates work - you presume when the digits stop it's because they were equal to zero) but it would make it more symmetrical. It's possible we'll get one more at PIP. Or maybe something that clarifies what order we are to put them in. Or what we are to do with the coordinates once we have them.

I've gone from skeptical to tense to smug to paranoid to giddy to antsy. Are there seven stages of ARG?

I have tried really hard not to go to Reddit. It's unorganized chaos and usually leads to me getting a headache. Then again, I get a headache just from thinking about this ARG too much. *Have to take more breaks*

I am still trying to figure out what photos go with what location. I cannot find the list with 1A thru 1E anywhere and that's driving me bonkers. Shocked Silly

Seven stages of ARG?? Does one start by admitting they have a problem? Because I would, I try to immerse myself into these and I tend to overthink. In the past the answers were simple to find if you weren't looking too hard. Which I tend to do. As for my seven stages, I've gone from excited to exhausted to frustrated to curious and hopeful.

Too many emotions, must not go to the darkside. Flaming Nutter

Anywho...

I agree, the numbers can go in whatever order to suit our needs. I plugged it in and got a location near Bayou Rigolettes. There really wasn't anything worth seeing on the satellite view, just land and water.
