I was just reading comments about Rob and he doesn't seemed all that disturbed with what is going on. What if he knew that it was going to happen and that's why he was getting the hell out of dodge the next day, but it happened a little earlier than expected. I know that sounds stupid, but he does look a little too calm.


It's been discussed, repeatedly. If you'd like to continue discussing it, it should probably be taken to the Plot Discussion thread.
This thread is to discuss all things Slusho! and it's significance to the (possible) ARG.

 		there's a white box between the j and p in slusho.jp at the feedback page. This box is only visible when you zoom in and move the page around. It's easier to see the more zoom you use.

Anyone else see it?

What is that, just a bug?

 		I've seen that, and others....posted on it a few pages back, asking the same question since I'm not a flash pro. Unfortunately I couldn't check that against the 1-18 site since they locked up zoom ;-p

On the history pages in particular, I zoomed in 6 and 7 times and noticed that there was like this white strip that blocked out the left and right edges of the text - like something is on top of the sides of the text. I also added screen shots showing it.Moving just a little toward open text it reads fine, but gradually moving it back to the edge, there's an additional strip overlay before the whitespace itself.

So yeah it is very curious that there are zoom instructions all about, and when you zoom in, this white strip is there covering up parts of the page.

Why? I don't even begin to know and the flashies have all claimed there's no funny business in the code. I still think it's kinda curious that on the 1-18 site there's a "glitch" that makes them rotate, yet on slusho, there's no glitch. In fact, the 1-18 site is the only one I've seen ever that did that.

Maybe you can't drink just six is a play on words - can't zoom just 6. The white strip overlay doesn't appear before at least the 6th zoom.

Strange it is.

 		Something suspicious
About the story
Ok, I am not sure if this was discussed here yet (not going to read 75 pages), but I think I may have found something. Who knows...It could all be coincedence.

Ok...I messed around with Slusho and in an anagram reader and I found 2 words it could mean. Soul, or Lush So. Not sure if that means anything.

I analyzed the story and it seems like the whole thing is code for a bigger story.

In the story all of the kids called her "the smallest whale". I did a search for the name of the smallest whale in the world and it's called the "Minke".?In japanese Minke means "it is to see". Not sure if that means anything.

I did a search for Noriko Yashida, and I found this....

http://ccs.cla.kobe-u.ac.jp/GenBun/ny/ny.html

It shows a painting that says "Les Gites De La Mer" It's actually French and can be translated to "the Beasts of the Sea". This was Painted by Henri Matisse.

When I read beasts of the Sea, I remembered a story from the bible about his vision of beasts from the sea.

In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he was lying on his bed. He wrote down the substance of his dream.

Daniel said: "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heaven churning up the great sea. Four great beasts, each different from the others, came up out of the sea.

"The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a man, and the heart of a man was given to it.

"And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, 'Get up and eat your fill of flesh!'

"After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.

"After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast--terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.

"While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth that spoke boastfully.

Ok with that said, to me the way the story is worded sounds fishy. I analyzed the word and got the merriam webster definition of "libations". It means "an act of pouring a liquid as a sacrifice (as to a deity)"


Somehow this is beginning to sound like a story of God and Sacrifices.

Now this sentence puzzles me "Truth was, Noriko loved libations so much, and drank so much, she did not join while other children opened their fun, she rather experimented with flavor mixtures - combining different fruits, vegetables and other ingredients naturally grown FORM her father's (Ryouta Yoshida) farm to make great new beverages.

Funny how that word is mispelled.

Does that make sense? Childeren OPENING their fun?

Seems like code to me.

Sounds like "Truth was, Minke loved sacrifices so much, and drank so much, she did not join while other children opened their fun she rather experimented with flavor mixtures - combining different fruits, vegetables and other ingredients naturally grown FORM her father's (Ryouta Yoshida) farm to make great new beverages.

And the last sentence on the first page

"Her deliciousness made her loved throughout many towns and villages on Honshu."

Now I might be stretching here, but does that sound like being worshipped?

Page 2

And every year she would try to beat herself by coming up with a new flavor mixture, so unique to anything else - she was never satisfied.

I remember hearing a story of a greek god that would marvel at his/her own creations. And finally decided to create the ultimate person. Was it zeus with Ganymede?....I can't remember. Maybe someone else can.

But tradegy struck for the smallest whale!
But tradegy struck for "the one that saw".

Noriko set off on a sea adventure to find the greatest, most tastiest ingredient TO the world, and was never heard from again?

Again...weird wording

They keep throwing in that word "experiment"
Science...

last sentence "His accomplishments are many, he is very big" Sounds like a description of something large like a beast or god.

Hm....something fishy about him being a small fish then drinking the concoction and becoming a big whale. Also it says

"He decided he would make his mother's dream LIVE - make the tastiest drink live, UNLIKE ANYTHING ON EARTH.

Sounds like a creation of a beast....trying to bring it a live?
He had to serve the indredient in a near-frozen state to preserve it's freshness.

Sounds almost like cryogenics

later.... Slusho came to life! Like they found something frozen....gave it an ingredient and brought it to life.

"Everyone who drinks a slusho tastes Noriko's dream, and becomes a whale like Noriko - because you want to drink huge amounts of Slusho.

Almost sounds like invasion of the body snatchers....or a PARASITE that takes over bodies to become part of the collective. I totally believe this needs to be analyzed more.

Does anyone else find the crossovers to god, creation, and brinking to life this massive parasite that takes over interesting. Does it sound like anything you've read. I have to admit...from what I've heard of Cthulhu it could be it.

I was told that Cthulhu is something that is summoned that is "worse than satan".

Keep in mind that Japanese people are NOTORIOUS for creating puns out of words. They find it extremely hilarious.

oh one last thing, the "Les Gites De La Mer" can also mean LODGINGS of the Sea. When I looked that up, I found this site... www.seasprite.com

Curious name right? Considering we're dealing with finding an ingredieant at the bottom of the sea. Go to the second page with the "new" icon and you'll see a picture of a DUN DUN DUN A WHALE.

Does anyone know anything about the lore of Sea Sprites? Can anyone find out if www.seasprites.com is owned by paramount?

Who knows this could all just be coincedence. But I know SOMETHING is wrong with that story.

Kind of funny that you won't read 75 pages, but expect us to read that long post. (I did read all 74 pages before I posted)

Other then that it's pretty wildly supported and unlikely, but an interesting theory. I, personally, hope this movie has NOTHING to do with anything biblical, I wouldn't see it. There is enough "christian propaganda" in this world. Smile

What do you think Tina? Razz

This is a pretty closed-minded comment.

I'm atheist, yet I feel that a lot of the world's best art and fiction revolve around Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. For example, one of my favorite books (poems) is Paradise Lost, and that has a biblical base, but is nowhere NEAR propaganda. Paradise Lost is often cited as near heretical because of its almost compassionate view of Satan as a hero/character. One of my favorite movies is the Gregory Peck flick "The Omen" (it scares me ****less though). Also Bible-based. Pretty much all of JS Bach's work was holy music, and it was fantastic. I'm sure some of your classical favorites were written for church, even if you aren't a big classical music fan.

Beyond that, the Bible, Torah, Talmud, Koran, book of Mormon, etc. tell an AMAZING story when put together, whether or not you choose (I don't) to believe them literally.

It's one thing to say "Missionaries aren't welcome at my house," but it's another to put down a huge amount of the world's art just because you're an intolerant thirteen year old.

LONG STORY SHORT: If you wanna be an atheist, do it in style Cool. And if you're Jewish and intolerant, "go f*** a goat."

 		Not so much
The art inspired is often good.

The source material isn't as good however, it's also hard to ignore the amount of intolerance and ignorance that has been caused by those fictional tomes.

I'm really tired of the repent or perish crap. Be kinder to our fellow man or face the wrath of god? All we need is for this movie to come out and b about the rapture or some nonsense and then we get the endless discussions on CNN about how the fundies think it's a good message...

I won't pay a cent to see it, if that's the case.

And everyone else cares about what you would pay to see because.....

Can we please get back to the root of what we know? Anything biblical, anything mythical, anything out of this world... nothing has been even mentioned. We know that 'something' is attacking New York. Going off on tangents like this will solve nothing.

Kthxbye

And that's fine, but take that crap somewhere else. Religious discussion is not what this thread is for, and I for one don't want to read about it.

Amen!

Hah. See I made a funny.

Anyway, I completely ignore anything posted by someone who says they didn't read it all. A. Because I DID read it all, and B. Because invariably what they do post is so vacuous and annoying and completely off-topic that I wish my keyboard had a shoot spitball at guest poster button.

I am still waiting for ComicCon for the next big thing to drop. I think this hasn't quite kicked off yet.

 		Donkey
I really did read 62 of the 75 pages. So if this was posted in the last 13 I'm sorry. ( I am going to go back and finish before I psot again) But as many have realized the donkey is somehow aberrant in its behavior and why isn't it a horse. Could it be that it is really slapping us in the face the it is the donKEY to the next clue. I guess something to do with the blue oven mitt. Plus the "ASS" in the Abrams quote.

 		Sorry about that
Edit
Hey guys, sorry about the bilical reference. I really didn't mean to offend anyone.

Let me get one thing straight, I am NOT christian, and nor am I trying to turn this into a biblical thing. It's just the first thing that popped in my head as I have studied many religions.

I understand my post is far out there and it may be completely bogus.

But I DO believe there is a message hidden in the slusho text. Smile

cheers

What was the topic again?

Oh yeah... the movie.

I was on topic.
