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.


Oh and far as the blue goes, I agree with previous posters who say it's "neutral." It seems to be mostly used on posts that were questions (in other words, no actual speculation was made) or completely irrelevant (ie MUDKIPS etc).

 		Jeremy Zawodny has now linked to this thread on the "Recent Links" section of his blog, claiming that he is "apparently part of some conspiracy theory." Can be found here:

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.


It does look like some kind of symbol which would be included in language, but I know for certain it is not a hieroglyphic (Egyptian), and although the style is reminiscent of Mayan or Aztec glyphs, it doesn't look like the way they do things (usually Aztec/Mayan glyphs are more square and have certain attributes which give them away as being such).

 		The voice at the beginning
The voice at the beginning is definitely computer-generated. It's an AT&T Labs voice.

Go to http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php and choose "Lauren .... US English" from the dropdown. Type in "Collect package. Save adorable cat. Save planet." and click SPEAK.

The emphasis is a bit different on "adorable cat" in the YouTube video, but that might just be because the PM used different punctuation or something. It's definitely the same voice though.

 		Hey this is anony, got an account since this is where the action is. Okay, I believe the peacock may refer to this:

Peacocks in dreams represent confidence and ego. Sometimes the appearance of the Peacock may be a message that we are being overconfident, and should perhaps humble ourselves a bit. If the Peacock is making noises in your dream, this indicates you are trying too hard to impress people. If the Peacock's feathers are all fanned out, this is a message that an invitation to a new project is on its way to you.

 		MAJOR IMPORTANT NEWS *maybe*
If you attempt to login to Trinstod's account, or attempt any sort of account recovery (lost name, lost password), you will discover that the Trinstod account is "protected".

Protected accounts, 99% of the time, means that the person is an admin or employee Yahoo, Google, or Youtube.

On a side note, nice find Monkey.

Edit - Something I realized a while back but forgot to bring it up: Can we expect this much direct communication from Trinstod in the future? This is highly unusual and is setting a (what I see as) bad precedent.

 		Looking through all of the zoomed-to, printed out posts which T posted to the wall, here is what I can read (I am only posting things which are circled in red or green, which we assume is wrong or right):

(Across the papers we see "WHAT A DREAM IT WAS".)

1. (Circled in RED): "Maybe 'I had a dream about Google' is an anagram of sorts? Let's have a go at it."

2. (Circled in GREEN): (The first part is unintelligible) ...and watch around 0:22 or 0:23 you will come to notice (something) the whole time.

3. (Circled in GREEN): Also, judging by his shadow, the man has short, messy hair.

4. (Circled in RED): ID8 = 472 which really has no significance. But, the 4 AM video WAS posted at 8 AM on October 13th.

4. (Circled in GREEN): The Sputnik Google logo was used on October 4th.

5. (Circled in GREEN): (Unintelligible)...show us? What didn't he show us?

6. (Circled in GREEN): ...the link in an irc channel. Then someone...http://www.flashback.info/showthread.php...

7. (GREEN): ...This would probably be the case if it was filmed...

8. (GREEN; also from this board): No news yet? No more leads? I see the search term "trinstod" has become quite popular. It isn't a Googlewhack any more.

http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends?q=trinstod&date=2007-10-14&sa=X
(The second part of this post was circled in blue)

9. (RED): He keeps posting it in /b/.

10. (This one is weird - it's circled in RED a lot but GREEN once): ...the website that came up when he typed in "trinstod" in Google......maybe it's a clue.

11. (GREEN): He uses Opera so he must be gay. (Again, I believe it's referring to the fact that he uses Opera, not that he's gay)

12. (RED): There's a dildo next to the tied up dude (as we learned, it's a Swedish-style phone).

And thats all that I caught as well as I could.

Also, I'm not sure if this helps at all, but by watching it frame-by-frame, I caught T's shadow, and although it is EXTREMELY general, it sort of rhymes up with Zawody's figure, which is almost certainly a coincidence.




Also: Monkey, thank you for finding that, I knew it had to be a comp. gen. voice, and that is DEFINITELY it.

I worked flipping hard on a Wiki so the thread wasnt deleted. Now just to wait for an official to turn off the deletion flag.

I hope I did OK, and anyone with an account can edit, add or whatever.

 		On a note on the wiki
...
I took direct copy/paste from some peoples posts here on this site, as they seemed the best way to word said finding/thought.

I do not claim to have written these at any point, and if anyone would like me to credit them I will.

I only didn't do it as it seemed like unneccassary work, but I will credit somebody if they feel they need it, or they can do it themselves. Wiki editing account is free for everyone Smile

 		google.tt or google.se?
I saw that my comment about the Google.com page making a note to redirect to Google.tt if it was accessed on a Trinidadian ISP was circled green, which probably just means trinstod is saying, "Yeah, it would do that." It doesn't necessarily mean it was done there.

One thing that I forgot was the Swedish phone and the radiating heater. If trinstod #001 was done in Sweden, Google.com would similarly want to redirect you to Google.se, which considering the phone and heater would make Sweden more likely. I'm sure most of us have figured that out already.

 		Well, judging by the sound of what he is wrapping it appears to be hollow and made out of plastic. I'm guessing this is the "package". As for the cat, thats a tough one, because Jeremy has 3 cats, Barnes, Noble, and Thunder. Save planet can mean anything, what could a kidnapping have to do with saving the planet? The song that is playing, "Sometime" by Britney Spears has many mentioning of believing in what he has to say, and moving slow. Like he is saying don't be overzealous or egotistical, which would lead back to the peacock imagery that I i mentioned earlier."And what a dream it was" must refer to the I had a dream about Google.



Something tells me that we are on the right track but going the wrong way...
