I emailed Samuel a copy of the vid cap and asked him if he could see the face in the background.

I also tried to doctor the image of the face and posted a link on the blog.
http://tinyurl.com/ywtazs
I know there are people here that are much better than I am at photo editing so maybe someone can get a better image to post. Hopefully they will recognize the face. I am still puzzling over why then can't see it. It makes me want to hear the audio tape even more, I think there may be things on it that they can't hear.

Edit - Now I'm not so sure that Sammy = Samuel. R.F. never refers to the caller as Sammy. I think I am getting more confused by the minute. Confused

Somehow I think that Sammy and Samuel aren't the same person. Never have, really. Then again, it IS more likely that they are one and the same.

XDDD I remember that logo! It still plays sometimes on old reruns of PBS shows.
Well, I feel a lot better about that music. Thanks Killian Smile.

New update 08-22-07

He can't see the picture, he says it's just black and is possibly my host. Foily!
He says he miscounted on the posts (I don't believe it). Why call it the 19th Entry instead of Phone Call?

There's a new blog entry now.
More Jacob's ladder stuff. Nothing as serious as his last nightmare (it almost seems that this game is coming to a halt).
Another question, too. "Where?"

The fact that he can't see the pic under any circumstances is unsettling. Something's blocking his and Greg's mind from it.
And no, it's not your host. I could see it fine (good editing, btw). Smile

Also, and I missed this earler:
These are getting more real. A black streak on the floor?

I think the PM(s) is just trying to settle things down a bit--there's been an awful lot of stuff, meaning postings, in a few days. Ok by me, I have a lot of things to do like sleep, for instance.

19th Entry could just be a genuine typo on the part of the PM, one that's easily brushed off given the context. But I doubt it; it almost has to mean something.

RF not seeing the face is clearly important, but what it means is impossible to know at this stage. The claim that there is no record of a phone conversation with Sam/Samuel/Sammy is pretty significant. Certainly lends credence to the idea that Sam and RF are one in the same. Could also be that "there were no phone records of any such kind," means that some other type of conversation or interaction with the phone occurred. Problem is, RF's wife previously left a note about Sam calling--are she and the daughters also illusions?

I like the idea previously stated above that maybe RF is the real subject of the experiment, and that it's still going on--like the movie Brazil.

I have received no responses from Sam for a while. Anyone else have anything to report?

I have a suspicion that rather than this winding down, a radical shift is going to take place. I would not be suprised to soon hear of the "suicide" of Sam and perhaps the inclusion of a new voice--one who is not nuts (perhaps a cop or investigator). This is, of course, wild speculation, but with all the characters clearly going batshit on us, there better be some sort of stabilizing force introduced or we will all be floundering pretty soon.

lol, no. This is a photoshopped image of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.
Nothin' to do with this game, though...

Yeah, I see what you mean. One of my rare bursts of pessimism, I guess....

Yeah, especially with all the other potential Dark Tower references.

Unfortunately Sam hasn't responded to my new email, either.

Knowing the way movies go, I'd say the same thing.
Something tells me that that stablizer may be the one who sent the CD.
Maybe.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I bet this is all happening in his mind, like Jacob's Ladder, or the bad ending of SH1.


Hmm...

But, if it was in his mind, then how would we be contacting him, like the medic in JL?

ALSO: I think this is why they canceled the Red King project: http://www.pbfcomics.com/archive/PBF081AD-The_Dreamcatcher_3000.jpg

I'd spoiler that first sentence, velociraptor, as soon as I could.
There are many who haven't seen Jacob's Ladder yet.

And while I thought that was the case at first, I don't think so now....

Night all.

Actually I have a new set of thoughts/possibilities after reading the last entry both thoughts could be simultaneously true.

1) The mind/spirit of the Red King has taken over Samuel and that such a contact from him threatening an individuals children/family is the standard MO be which he operates in order that the victim voluntarily isolates himself prior to disappearing. If RF is indeed alive body and mind, he's now in mortal danger. If he is only existing in a dream/illusion world, it's about to end. on the chance that the first option is in fact the case, I'm going to suggest that r.F. not be alone right now reminding him of Greg's words about the disappearing folks.

It seems to me that following the "mental block" content approach might lead to more answers.. we should do as much as we can to encourage or help R.F. to post this stuff.

I see that the vid cap has been colored pink and uploaded... another thing to try would be to crop it in half, and only display half of the face, and see if you get any reaction.

I bet RF just made up the twitching Dream Cop to cover the NSFW image of the Red King getting spanked by Senator Bix. >_>

*cough* Realistically, has Sam commented on the bleeding Red King?

I just got a response from Sam.
He's not happy.

JUST GET HIM TO TELL YOU ALL WHERE HIS FAMILY WENT

I'LL FEEL MUCH BETTER AFTER THAT

Someone's not happy. Maybe more dreams about Senator Bix? :q:

Okay, now he just seems threatening. Inform RF.
