 		Well, people are speculating that the markings on the post mean different things

Red=Wrong
Green=Right
Blue=Neutral (?)

In any case, if we go by that color combination:

Earlier, the Wired mag was posted and speculated. Well, at 0:27 we clearly see the Wired Mag circled in Green. Meaning, that the first video was posted around that time.

Also, the PM circled the fact that the "Sputnik Google page" was on Oct 4th. So, its been almost two weeks, where is the kidnapee?

 		Ok, so we've got the small speech at the beginning:

"Collect package. Save adorable cat. Save planet"

Spoken by a female voice, camera showing someone walk down a dark street. I have no idea where to begin with that one.

Next is the big scan across all the print outs. To the left of them is a printed out picture that looks like some kind of drawing of a bird, maybe a peacock?



The first two print outs have the words "WHAT A DREAM" written across them, other than the circles and arrows everywhere I didn't notice any other writing on them.

As far as I can tell the zoom-ins are random, a couple of them zoom in on specific posts, but most just get half of a few of them... I think it would be difficult to control the camera to the point where you'd be actively choosing which ones to zoom-in on anyway hahaha. Still, the zoom-in on the person realizing it was shot on October 4th is kind of telling. Anyway I don't personally have the patience to sit and analyze every frame of that and see what the PM zoomed on, try and figure out if there's some color code to the circles and arrows, etc, but I definitely encourage anyone else to try Very Happy

Oh yes, and of course there's the bubbles everywhere hahahaha.

To the right of the print outs is another picture/photograph of some sort with the label "#003" underneath it.



I can't even begin to tell what that is but it looks like it has pieces of yellow tape stuck to it. Is this a preview of what's to come in the next video?

The last shot is a person sitting on the ground outside wrapping tape around something, possible his/her own hand? There's a black box (the only one in this video) blocking their face.

And of course the song playing throughout the video is "Sometimes" by Britney Spears, which in this context is actually really creepy, hahaha.

I believe the PM is trying to tell us where we are right and where we are wrong. Green=right red=wrong. All leading up to #003 coming out whenever.

BTW the songs that are playing:

#001: Never been to Me- Charlene

#002: Sometimes- Britney Spears

Now, I may be crossing the line here, but in #002, he circles (in green) the post on /b/ saying "He uses Opera, he must be gay." Now, this is a VERY HASTY generalization, and if I offend I apologize, the PM could be insuating he is a homosexual?

If that is the case, this could be one big joke. A satirical ARG perhaps? (This is associated with /b/)

Personally I'm inclined to believe the PM is female. Not just because of the music, or even the voice at the beginning of #002. Just something about the style makes me think of a woman before a man. Could just be the feminist in me coming out Wink

Which, of course, doesn't change the fact that she could be saying she's gay hahaha. Lesbians who play/run ARGs are pretty high up on my list of awesome!

Somehow the zoom-in on that made me think of something... when the original speculation was happening on /b/, the threads kept getting spammed by someone who just posted random symbols and gibberish. At one point the spammer claimed to be female. I feel like the PM wants us to know she's a girl for some reason, if only for the sake of her pride (I know personally that it's very annoying to have everyone on the internet assume you're male). I could be TOTALLY off on all this though hahahaha.

I do agree though, it feels like this ARG is supposed to be a big joke, and possibly the PM is just playing with us for a laugh. It's fun though, so I've got no complaints Very Happy

 		All the other papers are definitely posts of everything talking about it. But what the hell does he/she mean in the beginning?

 		Like I said earlier, I believe the cat the voice is refering to, might be the cat in the blog in question.

Unfortunately, without any more hints or outside websites, we cant really find out much more from just the movies. Unless we can see the exact posts the PM is focusing on.

I am inclined to agree with the whole green=right, red=wrong thing, but why would "He keeps posting it in /b/" be wrong? And it's circled a lot in red. And what would the blue mean? I also think that, if this IS serious or someone starting an ARG, the circling of using Opera means that he uses Opera, not that he/she's gay.

I also strongly believe that the female voice in the beginning is computer-made. The first thing said, "collect package", is cut off very suddenly at the end, and the tones don't sound entirely human, especially the last syllable. The next thing said, "save adorable cat," has rippling tones which is commonly heard in computer-generated voices. The last thing, "save planet", is the only thing that sounds like it could really be human.

The photo at the end captioned "#003" looks like some black and white screenshot (probably from the next video), but there is yellow paint/tape on it.

 		I can't believe people are falling for this.

The guy who's posting as CaptKing has been all over the internet suggesting his color code thing because, ::GASP:: he's the video maker and he has to force feed his "mystery" to people because

A) he's done a piss poor job revealing his "clues" and people weren't catching on as well as he liked.

B) Nobody really gave a shit.

I mean, if you guys are just really bored and enjoy having someone lay out an obvious attention-seeking mystery that isn't very interesting, be my guests . . . but this is just some guy's publicity stunt.

 		ha, no I am not the PM. Nice try though.

And yes, I agree that the voice is computer generated. And that bird, it looks almost like a hieroglyph. I'll look into it.

Edit: Also, the sentence is "What a dream it was." Refering to the dream about google Im sure.

Also, that bird looks SO FAMILIAR! Was it from a game? That is what I'm leaning towards

EDIT: Looking more at the bird, I really think it is either Aztecan or Mayan.

I think what it is, is a link from Google.com saying "click here to go to google.tt" (or something like that), which would probably be the case if it was filmed in Trinidad & Tobago.


this post seems to be (very) correct? see video @ 29sec

It's wrong because he/she isn't the one posting it in /b/. The person who originally posted it was not the PM, and I doubt any of the people who reposted it later were either. Also if my theory that PM is female is correct, it could also be circled because of the "He" ?

You're probably right about him/her affirming the web browser is Opera, not "coming out," hahahaha.
