Anyway, I sent an email and I guess we can see if I get a response . . . Has anyone tried the phone number?

yes we've tried that too. Sorry, my point was that we've been looking at this for a month now. Here's where the gmail was tried on July 9th
And that phone number is not properly formatted for a Japanese telephone contact.


Cool thanks for the info!

I'm attempting to reset the password for the gmail account. I'm at the page and the question is - What was your first phone number?

I've tried multiple combinations of the phone number. Maybe we can find the phone number from back tracing the name assuming it is a real person. Lets go ahead and give it a shot

I guess if you switch the 08 with one of the 7s, it could be referencing tomorrow.

Okay so where has it been covered then? Let's try it that way.

Or do you not know yourself?

A lot has been covered. So what would you suggest I "search" for?

Search:

Where is the discussion thread or posts related to the keywords in slusho's source code now?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say I wager the results on that one will be NADA. Hence why I asked Razz


PS: Thanks Almijisti for giving it a shot. I appreciate that. I take it from the lack of any real response that it's either not been discussed or covered, or if it was, nobody actually came up with anything so once again blew it off in favor of debating what sort of beast the monster is.


FWIW, the keywords were not mentioned before. Interestingly enough, when I plugged all the keywords into google, only about 30 pages appeared and Slusho.jp itself was not among them. I think it does have significance, but I can't figure out what that might be. "Power" is the most obvious thing that is not clearly evident on the site other than that the "secret ingredient" gives the drink its "power", but we already knew that.

"am i a whale???"

i came across this on wikipedia

The King James Version of the Bible mentions whales four times: "And God created great whales" (Genesis 1:21); "Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? (Job 7:12); "Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas (Ezekiel 32:2); and "For as Jonas [sic] was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" (Matthew 12:40).
Nevertheless, the passages in question do not unambiguously refer to whales; modern translations tend to use other terms; for example the New International Version uses "creatures of the sea"; "monster of the deep"; "monster"; and "huge fish" respectively.
The story of Jonah being swallowed by a whale is mentioned in the Qur'an as well.

Just effing around with the keyword thing. First off, Tina, you rock. Outta most of the pseudo-intellectuals mongering about looking to tell us once more we're idiots for following this so closely (Yet, why are they here everyday, all hours of the day?) who can't just seem to let us have fun, whether its casual, or obsessive (Who cares, its our life? You don't wanna speculate and try to find clues with us, don't. Why berate us so?)

But, you seem to be experienced, patient, wise, and open minded. A true new comer to ARG's like myself would have been turned off long ago without the small handful of decent people here, like your self. Thanks.

Sorry, had to get that off my chest... NOW! Down to business. Going with the keyword thing. A myspace search of power, brought up Cat Power, the band listed by Beth on her page. I only think this is interesting because though a few of our comments make it through, I believe they are specifically chosen, like messages that get responses, and one womans comment about cat power got through on her page. Maybe something? Straw grasping? Sure, why not? Myspace searches brought up other strange- and I do mean STRANGE- results. But, all and all, nothing I could remotely confirm.


Second. Isn't the Blue Donkey the mascot for the democratic party? Doesn't Lil have a strong political side, including Hillary Clinton?

Swiss Cheese-----Fish=Swedish Fish? i.e. the candy

Blue oven mitt-----Donkey=Blue Donkey?

Maybe the fish was supposed to point out the donkey connection?


Also, theres an obscure, truly hole in the wall bar a five minute drive from 401 Broadway called the bluedonkey. It has no sign, and largely goes unnoticed. Its owner owns another establishment in the same building. They even share kitchens. Its Homers world famous malt shop. The blue donkey even piggy backs on their website, which is currently under construction. Malt Shop? Maybe a real life Slusho distributor when the marketing gets that far? I really only mention the bar because all the reviews of it make it sound like the kind of place Rob and the seven would frequent. Its walls have pics of Eyore, Donkey from Shrek, its equipped with pool and air hockey tables, cheap prices, very mid twenties-hipster-ish.

Any who, All this probably means nothing, but, hell everyone else gets to post their crap, so heres mine...

FLAME ON!!!!

Maybe someone might ask one of the 7 if they've checked out the blue donkey place and see if anything comes of it...


Slusho is to
water as
zoom is to
happy is to
power as
fish is to
donkey as
frog


or not....


Slusho zoom
Water fish
power donkey
happy frog

Slusho zoom
power happy
water fish
donkey frog

fish
donkey
frog
slusho

water
power
happy
zoom

S w z h p f d f

Slusho zoom is the catch phrase
Donkey thinks of the blue oven mitt but also thinks slusho zoom
Fish thinks of cheese
Frog says we'll come back for more slusho soon
Slusho happy...are you happy? Tell slusho right now!

and then water and power.

What they all have in common, outside happy in particular and the frog, is the rest of them are specifically pointing or "from" the History pages. Water and power aren't specifically mentioned but sort of a moot point since the scene is under water, and the secret ingredient has inherent power, whatever it ultimately is.

As mentioned previously, these words being used as meta keywords suck...they surely aren't intended for search strings, slusho site would not come up for about 10000 pages by typing any of these words in except slusho, and probably slusho zoom specifically. In a meta sense, those words would bring up all these forum and articles referencing slusho....and none of them would bring it up in an in game sense.

That they're "key words" just seems to me like a big red flag, or somebody jumping up and down waving at us out here and going LOOK AT ME....PSSST, LOOK! I mean think about it a minute. There was nada meta stuff in the source originally....just the tracker and base code. They're not, in a meta sense, looking to the keywords to get slusho site up top of any keyword search. These key words were added in later at some point and specifically so. Otherwise they'd have *always* been in the source. They're not looking for net surfers to get it....it's been added for the player's benefit.

Also note that even as of the 6th of August, the 1-18 site contains no meta key or content information. None. So they expected their traffic to come by way of figuring out there was a website hidden in the trailer itself....same for slusho.

Keywords are for us....and they are therefore significant.

If we take this at face value then yeah, it's all moot, we got what it means at face value. It's a question now of what do they mean as key words and what do they unlock?

Other than the more I look at them and consider the history, the suspicion that slusho ingredients have a highly addictive potentcy probably a lot like coke....slushozoooomslushohappyslushopower with a dash of LSD...donkey's oven mitt and fish's swiss cheese...which makes me wonder again about the flavors.

Why robots? WTF is up with robots when we've got little kiddie animals, cute cuddly animals with big expressive eyes, a little boy and girl...and then flavors are represented by robots? That grow when you increase their quantity? The secret ingredient is the base, flavor mix next. Lotus goes in the cup first, mixed flavorbots go in next.

The robots are just out of place in all this. They also have specific pattern between round eyes, rectangular eyes, two eyes, one eye, flashing dots and moving bars, and a round bubbles stomach and without bubbles. Something's not jiving with the bots and the rest of the site. Why are they relevant?

And to you who don't like to think real hard, just shrugging it off as "eh, why not robots" as if this was just an arbitrary addition that serves no purpose, think it thought some more. If this is all irrelevant and unprepared and arbitrary and has no significant either way, and the most important question is whether it's voltron or not - then these threads should just be deleted and this entire premise disregarded as a totally unrelated, unprepared, arbitrary waste of our time. If the addition of the cheesy words were irrelevant, they never would've stuck them in there, no reason to...plenty of traffic on both sites without wasting time adding it, especially when they're not at all likely to bring either site up in a search of keywords.


It's not arbitrary. They added bots for a reason. Saying it's just cause is BS and lazy. I still say it's all of us not on the ball rooting out what they're giving us (pitifully, giving it to us with 2nd grader graphics and dialogue and still it's going over us)...not them being unready for us.

Has anyone noticed the crab holding the <- -> sign at the bottom, changes moods when clicked?

As for the robots, maybe it is not that they are robots that is significant but what they do.

and why have they added japanese names for the 2 middle flavours when they could have said orange and pear (although it actually more like a satsuma and the pear isn't your normal variety), also from memory robots don't breath but these appear to be breathing, arm and shoulder movement.

I for one believe this may well be a VOLTRON movie! I know alot ppl are going to think I'm an idiot, but it kinda seems to be pointing that way. Remember, J.J. said that the monster in this movie is going to be new and original, that does not mean that the heroes will be new and original. Even the color of the robots on the flavors page match up with the VOLTRON bots, and what are we doing when we make new flavours? Combining the robots to form a much larger robot made up by the smaller ones. Sounds quite VOLTRONish to me!!!
