Alright, here we go. First and foremost, CM has yet again outdone himself. This was the best video I've ever seen on an Youtube, hands down, and I'm so glad he used me as such a big part. He got my entire confession (even though he split it up) in there. Seriously, such a gorgeous video, and I think I may keep watching it, even when we get all the clues.

As for him using adultery, a lot. I don't think that's what he was looking for. I think he was just looking to really use as much as he could, and a lot of people were making sure they confessed to that one particular sin. Also, it's not as uncommon in the current world, and I think that makes him (the character) very upset, if you get what I mean.

As for his sin, I think by showing all of those faces while digging up ground, he was confessing that he had killed them, which we had all kind of figured. What made me really nervous is that if you look closely, he showed what looks like Eric's picture, near the end of the video (before the code, where he appears to burying someone.) Someone else look closely and tell me if I'm right in saying that looks like Eric.




If it does, we might be trying to save someone who is already dead.

This is the code at the very end. Not rot13. No luck anagraming it, it's too long for the servers I use. No clue what to do with it.



it's "vwdiew rgua ua icwe tiy qukk xgiiaw l eils" for quick copy/pasting.



Probably the best screen shot I can get. No rot13 on AHA EMIARAM ATN AHNA, but it fits in the anagram server. http://wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=AHA+EMIARAM+ATN+AHNA

Eeef! That was so weird, hearing myself. Though, what a very, very cool video.

I think, but am not sure, that the service they keep showing is Catholic, and they also seem to be showing an adult baptism. Not sure of the significance of that.

I agree that it looks like Eric's face in the burial pictures.

I've been gone from here for a while since the last video but my brother pointed me to the newest one and I thought it was cool since that first phone call he has in it is my brother's(Impact2cool). Anyway this video was another amazing installment as we have come to know from the CM. It's funny how much improvement he's made in his video production value from the first couple. Anyway, in regards to what BoBo pointed out, I thought it might of been Eric as well. However, if he killed Eric what reason would we have to continue to play his game? Unless, he gets a new pet?

Michael Taylor has stated on the board that it's not Eric in the picture.

I dono about yall but I gotta wait till the end no mater if eric's dead or alive...I wanna know what software he uses for his videos.... As for those codes...I don't think its a rot I went backwards and forwards with it I'm guessing its Vigenere or substitution... I been working on a substitution answer but I'm not real good at figureing them out...lol

Hey everyone,

I've never posted here before, and I told myself I wasn't going to get obsessed with another ARG after Bristelgoodman has made me absolutely insane.. but here I am.

vwdiew rgua ua icwe tiy qukk xgiiaw l eils

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I used this:
http://www.blisstonia.com/software/Decrypto/#download
(Simple substitution) and this came up:

before this is over you will choose a road

And judging by the beginning of the video, this seems to make sense (two roads diverged..)


I don't think this has been posted, but if it has I'm very sorry!

I didn't use a key, but there may be one? Or is key just the list of substitutions like v=b, w=e? The solution I posted was the the first possibility listed with the program I used.

Also, in case this may save people some time, here is everything I've tried for the second clue: AHA EMIARAM ATN AHNA

Forward/backward rot
Forward/Backward Railfence
Forward/Backward Vigenere with words eric, sam, samdeercot, humanpet,deercot, sins, sin
Forward/Backward simple sub. (I couldn't find anything that seemed likely)

The first quote is a distorted from: The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.

In the video it seems that he is showing us the two roads. It switches between his path to church to his path to his burial field. Or one path to good and one path to evil.

Showing more genius of editing and story.


Das Llama



The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could.
To where it bent in the undergrowth,

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

The second quote is from The Divine Comedy by Dante translated by Henry Longfellow.

I found this interesting:
http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~tpl/texts/dante.html

It says here that:

Dante uses hendecasyllabic meter based on the magic number three, which represents the Trinity, and multiples of three. The rhyme scheme (ABA BCB CDC, etc.) is Dante's own invention

Possibly a way to figure the code like the sunflower one.

A few other things I noticed:

The sign on the highway was San Bernidino/Santa Ana Temple St.

It seems to me as if he is exiting. Does anyone on here live in that area and recognize anything?


In the video at 5:34 you can here Eric say

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Oh God Sue, Im so sorry.



Also there is talking at 5:59 all I can make out is.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
...............................................................May the souls of the faithfull .......... Rest in peace...........................


12 faces are shown as he is digging

At the Babtism the CM left out "in the name of the Father"

yeah i got the signpost bit too.

its strange that there was another reference to dante:

The Divine Comedy describes Dante's journey through Hell (Inferno), Purgatory (Purgatorio), and Paradise (Paradiso),

rememeber the purgatory bit from before? and dante's inferno was all about the 7 sins. spooky.

so thats 3 people from italy we have dealt with: dante, fibbonacci and caesar.

any thoughts on a recurring theme here?

Finally...some frickin' excitement.

Ok...a couple of things I have been looking into in regards to the new vid.

1. The signs on the freeway say, "San Bernadino" and "Santa Ana".
2. The message at the end of the video that says, "Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost." a quote of the first passage from Dante's Inferno.

Here's the link to a site with the entire poem:

Wow...my post came up late! WTFrick?
