NEW: MYPUPPY VIDEO 2 Marcus sent me a new video of Krystal they just received.
Quote:
Enaxor: this came from Palser right?
MarcusThesburg: It was sent through a proxy w/ an email spoof
Enaxor: but you assume it's from Palser?
MarcusThesburg: Yes, we assume
MarcusThesburg: definitely looks like Krys

Right... looks like she needs help soon, or she'll die of severe malnutrition... what are those green sandwiches they're feeding her?!
I tried getting a clear picture of her hand, or rather, the alledged writings on her hand, but the video is too fuzzy to make anything out of it

I played with the brightness and contrast as best I could, here are two screenshots that will give anyone else a good look at what I'm seeing. What am I seeing?
A happy face.
I'm sure that I'm wrong.

I wasn't able to get a real clear picture, but exploded that segment of the video to individual frames if anyone is interested giving it a try: http://aware.netninja.com/gallery/mypuppy2

It looks like 3 circles with a 3 in the upper right corner... The topmost circles have dots in the center...
No idea what that could mean, at the moment...

The middle circle could maybe also be a six?

A couple of bits of spec that didn't seem to lead anywhere (but maybe someone else will see something we missed)...
Quote:
<BrianEnigma> The two dotted O's and third form a pretty consistent diagonal...
<BrianEnigma> 00O
<BrianEnigma> If she wrote it on her hand "sideways" the 3 might be an M.
<Rasputin42x69> Possibly...
<BrianEnigma> I'm not left-handed, but if I were to write on my left hand with my right, that seems like a more natural angle, sort of.
<Rasputin42x69> Good point... Hmm..
<BrianEnigma> I've solved it! Myssfitz is next! Moooo!
Although if that were true, it begs the question as to why she didn't orient her hand the same direction when showing it to the camera?
Quote:
<BrianEnigma> Those couple of "stuck pixels" or whatever they are sort of bug me.
<BrianEnigma> Extreme speculation: assuming the film burn implies a celluloid camera (discounting that that happens during projection and not while filming), and that this is a digital transfer of some sort, and chemical film can be double exposed...
<BrianEnigma> ...the dots sort of look like stars in the last frame.
Edited to add: I took the few seconds of hand from the video and ran it through a couple of transforms--color correction, desaturation, etc. The files are a bit large (I outputted close to raw video since I didn't want to recompress video that started out compressed, thereby adding even more compression artifacts). Anyway, the results are sitting here: http://aware.netninja.com/puppy2/

Ok, I've taken one of Jamesi's pics (great work!), made a bit of zoom and such....
Here is the result, and what I can see there is:
- a circle with a dot inside, like the references to cities in maps (as someone has already said, not sure where )
- a six
- the little three above
- and... another three!! bigger and too close to the six, but I can see another three there
Take a look and let me know what you think

spec Could what looks like a 3, be an N? Maybe for north? That would fit with the spec about the postion of her hand while she wrote on it.

More spec I may be on the wrong trail, but what if the tail of the 6 is a line for the highway? There is a section of Rt.40 that runs north/south to Kingman. (Sorry, you'll have to zoom out 4 notches on that link to see what I mean.)

Now, since this supposedly came from the "Prof" via Marcus, why whould "Prof" send the full clip with the hand symbol, especially when the clip seems to show someone pushing her hand down, out of camera range?
Specs:
1) The Prof wants us to figure it out
2) He doesn't want us to figure it out, but has bad editing equipment or was so bored he couldn't watch the clip to the end
3) Marcus is lying about where he got it
4) The PMs are taking "creative license" with logic

None of them really seem to match...

If we think rationaly about this....
The video must have been edited by Palser himself, therefore he knew what was being distributed including the hand sign.. this could be for two reasons in my opinion, one is that he is laying clues for the game to continue ( for some reason ) or that is perhaps his ransom demand?
I can't imagine what it could possibly translate into, but it would seem like the only reason it would be displayed in the video, it definitely seems to me like a ransom video...
... your thoughts ?
