Most things in life have a beginning, middle and an end. But not always in that order necessarily.

The ending made me feel so let down. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT SHE MEANT BY SAYING THAT IT WILL NOT WORK! This sucks.

"a cribbed old yoke orgy owl"

Seems an awful lot like an anagram. An online anagram site got over 45000 anagrams for the phrase. Start choosin'...

This can´t be the end... or is it? What was the meaning of it?

I think it's highly possible that this is the end of the trinstod road, but that the actual mystery will continue (perhaps in another screen name at another time). I do not believe that someone would go through all this work just to stop at #004. That doesn't make any sense, even though they clearly show that the "kidnapee" is wearing a halo ween mask at the end and it all seems to have been staged, confirming this as just another ARG or interactive project of some kind.

And yet, why would trinstod (whether female or male) leave clues in the "last" video? It doesn't make any sense. And how would they get the packages in Sweden and all of that? Unless she has some relatives in Sweden or something of that kind. I don't know. The whole thing still seems open...

xFishk we'll praise your name for a long time. xD

"This thing has to stop right now or its condemned to fail."

Why isn't thing clearly defined? Why is whatever the girl is talking about so ambiguous. Everyone here assumes the "Thing" is the ARG. But what if it isn't? What if she is claiming the end to something entirely different.

It seems to me the credits, and the girls statement, were implemented int #004 for two reasons.

1. It acts as a filter, so those who are not interested/ do not need to be here, will lose interest and leave this ARG.

2. It gives more hints to the other three videos without really "spoiling" their anonymity.

Anyways in my opinion this is no way the end, think what you will though.

Why this fear of things without meaning? Every single weird cryptic line of words or images is loaded with hidden meanings, and hidden agendas here. Soon this has developed into a smaller religion of its own. This is part of life, not everything has a purpose.

And what is so strange about a girtl speaking english, many swedes do, Even if she's located in USA, Trinidad or Baggböle it's not impossible to make connections with people of different nations or cultures, we do it all the time on the internet. Right now we do it. And share inforamtion, and send packages.

It's not that much of a mystery, just a couple of clever and interesting videos that caught oir interest.

I mostly agree with you anon, but I disagree that this isn't a mystery.

Alright so I decifered the mini dv and this is what is says:

"Trees of the forst rehearsing"
"Sensing the dragon anew"
"Creatures and puppets conversing"
"Speaking only of you"

I am a bit of a poet writer and one thing I know is that published/ proffesional poet writers use proper punctation. That makes this not a "real" poem, only a few rhyming phrases made by T.

Another interesting thing is that T misspelled "a new". "Anew" is not actually a word, but if you type it in on google you fill find a few websites related to anew. I am not sure if I am reading to much into a misspelling or if its a clue from PM.

Hmmm....

Well time for my class, I will be back in a few hours. Good luck gang!

I think trinstod got scared because of all the attention he got. The girl is an American who was visiting Sweden with her boyfriend (the kidnappee in the first video) and trinstod forced them to make this video so it would seem like everything is fine, but really trinstod plans on raping, dismembering, and cannibalizing their corpses.

"Anew" is a word.
Dictionary.com defines it (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/anew) there, but you can also find it in real dictionaries as well.
As far as the poetry scheme of things, I agree with you in that it's not really supposed to be a poem, but rather just an inscription or rhyming thing that poses as a clue (hopefully).

Come on, trinstod, I know you're reading. This can't be the end.

I get what T's meaning might be though, but I want to see if this will go further.

I know I'm double-posting, so sorry. But for those of you really out of tune with the meaning of T's project (that is, if this really is the end), it can be found in the note.

Trees of the forest rehearsing,
sensing the dragon anew


The "trees of the forest" is an image which symbolically brings to mind an image of the world as a whole. The "dragon anew" is something large, dangerous, magnificent, and, obviously, new. This can refer to the "project" of trinstod.

Creatures and puppets conversing,

This, obviously, is T's audience.

Speaking only of you.

Well, we were practically obsessed with discovering the whole thing, yeah?

In short, I think this project was an attempt to connect the world to accomplish one goal, to figure out trinstod. Maybe. This is just a theory.

But something seems so strange about it all. So short-ended at #004. We will see what happens from here.

Finale

Many thanks to xFishk. Live long and prosper. #004 was clearly prepared well in advance, probably by some film and art students. It looks like a class project, with others helping. I would guess the only delay to their plan was time it took to collect package and mail video. So there was less time to ruminate on the four line poem, or other things we missed in the "forest", like the mask.

This was probably the semi-planned time to end it. And for us what an exciting climax. The planet was saved. I guess the AC is also semi-saved, unless delays caused them to go back and destroy it. But is is not dead, just needed battaries...

Unfortunately we are left with the planet that was saved, which is the last part. The ending does seem very American, culminating in the McDonald's jingle.

I see the last words, after the credits as "I am just copying=cribbing an old joke ("yoke" with fake swedish accent) O'Rly Owl.

Last act of leader is rejection of music, swearing, and doing Tits & GTFO.

In the now, what matters is the number of hits on google...

Well.. im back

Got some stuff i tought Could maybe /maybe not help ..
Girl : #004


This thing has to stop right now, or it's condemned to fail...
Here's the truth there is no master plan, there is no money no commercial interests..
And i'd like to make clear that im in no way associated with google , yahoo or youtube...
No animal or human has been harmed during the make of these videos..
Im not going to tell you why i did this.. ?Because i know you would understand?..?If you are watching this you probably do it to?
My identity however will remain secret,
As you might have already guessed , there are circles/cycles/psychos out there..
I will now leave this project as it is.. Made what you whant of it .
And for what is worth.. Thank you .
Shut that music of .. huh .. jesus christ


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) She speaks perfect american english
2) The rooms seems very american to me ..
3) The Mcdonalds sound
4)"a cribbed old yoke orgy owl"
5)The man with the "hockey" mask, could it be fake? , if it was a real kidnap they are just trying to fool us ?
6)All the CAST names are not swedish names , maybe Jenny
7)"leave the project as it is" she/he might get it started again?

8)And when she says "Shut that music of" there were no music in the room. it was edited .. (CLUE)?
And i dont think she is the trinstod .. no way she is .

why do they leave clues if this is the end ? , I made it .. i got the video up on time .. maybe they did a misstake ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

TRINSTOD ... I KNOW YOU ARE READING THIS ..
