So I'm up on everything so far, but I'm totally in on this. Just wanted to let y'all know that another mind's working.

Seems to me we just have to play the waiting game.

The second video showed the word "Miquiztli" which is apparently the 6th day of the Aztec calendar. So assuming 6th day=Saturday maybe we can expect something tomorrow?


But that's not really that important. I think now we need to figure out how the hell we're gonna get in contact with this guy in Kenner... And welcome to the game, Aiobhan. Very Happy

But are we certain this guy is in Kenner? I mean, we know Kenner is the only location we have so far... Do we know anyone that actually lives close to Kenner, or matter of fact IN kenner?

EDIT: It seems that degravedi lives in Kenner... hopefully he/she could help us out

I figure he knows where we think he is. I also figure he knows that out of everyone playing, maybe one could possibly get there.

We know when, and where, but perhaps we don't yet know how.

And who are these people to whom we're bringing water? Summer's almost over, and there's no drought there.

Incoming long post! Another new video. This one's encouraging. =D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcvxcpLVpgc

Saaa~ So that 8 was probably an eternity symbol.. at least, sounds like it after the whole "memory is eternal" bit. I think someone above may have mentioned it.. (I dismissed that cause of it being right-side up. Guess that was dumb. xP)

The message that flashes quickly at the bottom right of the screen says "I AM WATCHING AND I AM PLEASED". Sounds good. (One weird thing I noticed... unless I'm actually staring at the corner (and not any other part of the video), I can't see the words. o_O Fun times for my peripheral vision..) If anyone wants a cap of anything, say the word.

@CaptKing - The thing is, in the second video, Crescent said something along the lines of "hopefully you know where"... And the only location that was ever tracked down was that house in Kenner. Unless the locations move from time to time, we may have to assume Kenner is the only current location as of now.

@Aiobhan - Something tells me they're not "people". =P (But joking about otherwise creepy stuff aside... I actually cannot think of what they could possibly be. Hopefully we'll be able to figure that out as we get more messages... :3)

Just an idea, but.. Crescent said he/she/it(/they?) wants to help, right? Perhaps we should try to establish some kind of closer contact - a YT message or something similar. Emailing/messaging is usually encouraged... right?

Yeah. The text says;

"the flesh cannot last, yet memory is eternal"

So we've got memory, eternity, and now we're waiting for... something.

Cool.

Maybe unrelated but Mayahuel, the guardian of the 8th day of the Aztec calendar, is the wife of Patecatl, the guardian of Manalli.

Quote:
The protector of day Tochtli (Rabbit) and the provider of the Shadow Soul or Tonalli is Mayahuel, goddess of the Maguey and of Fertility, a pulque goddess. Tochtli is a day of self-sacrifice and service to something greater than oneself. It signifies the religious attitude which holds everything sacred and results in experiences of self-transcendence. It is a mystical day, associated by the passages of the moon. It is a good day for communing with nature and spirit, a bad day for acting against others.

Since it hasn't been mentioned I thought I'd stop lurking and chime in... Anyone notice in the new video that the audio of the bell chimes is reversed? Didn't someone mention a Chapel of sorts close to the Taylor address...
I'ma check the other vids and see if it holds any significance...

Also it might or might not mean anything but in the first vid we were shown a pic of a memorial with "8" names on there. Two of the names were Melanie Tahran and Bridget Tahran. No doubt related to the Melissa Tahran who was only injured... Perhaps the 8 tolls of the bell is symbolic of death and the reverse bells symbolize... life?

Just throwing stuff out there...

BTW... HEY EVERYONE!!! I'm Back!!! (well... back only holds up to any meta urchins that are still left floating around out there)

[1st Edit]I think the video was MEANT to be watched in reverse. The timing just matches up too perfectly with the word transitions and the audio. I'll be posting something up on youtube just as soon as i can...

yet memory is eternal, the flesh cannot last (?)

the only references i can find to either of those sayings are here:

yet memory is eternal
the flesh cannot last

Something else I noticed is that the link to the book that has the 'flesh cannot last' in it is a book about Mary Magdalene. Backtracking for a minute in the second video there was a glimpse of the triple moon which represents the triple goddess or the triad. Modern christian interpretations of the triple goddess is the Three Marys, one of which is Mary Magdalene. Possible Link?...

[/1st Edit]

[2nd Edit]
Here are all 4 videos in their reversed form. Each one yields some different clues which I might get around to posting after I get some sleep... maybe... otherwise I'll wake up to find that everyone else beat me to it. They aren't hard to spot though.

CRESCENT001 - Reverse


YouTube: Link



CRESCENT002 - Reverse


YouTube: Link



CRESCENT002(1) - Reverse


YouTube: Link



CRESCENT002(2) - Reverse


YouTube: Link

The bells are ringing eight times.
Could the "8" and the bells be a clue at which time he wants to meet on September 25th?

So in Germany a bell ringing 8 times would be 8 am or 8 pm. I guess it is the same in the US.

You know now that you've said 8:00 (PM or AM) it just occured to me that the last 'time' we received was i minute prior... 7:59

Something else that I found also was that on September 25th, 1978 there was another air tragedy involving a mid-air collision over San Diego, CA resulting in 144 deaths... coincidence or perhaps next location?

GJ reversing the videos, Matrix. O: (I kept trying to find something to reverse FLVs for 002(1), but I couldn't find anything... did you convert them first or did I just not look hard enough? =P)

The question is whether it's 8 AM or 8 PM... Should we assume AM, since the other time was in the morning?

Dunno if the quote used in the video is an actual quote. Couldn't find anything on it really. But now that you bring up the victims again, perhaps the quote had some reference to their deaths. Maybe we need to try to find the place where the 8 victims had funeral services (due to the church bells, only reason I'm thinking that.)

Who are you looking for?

I just happened to be surfing the net and found my name in your forum. My name is Melissa Tahran and I'm the only person on this Earth with that name. I know this because my last name is not common and everyone with the last name Tahran is in direct relation to me. I'm a little confused on what you are all discussing. Did you guys make up these names and coincidentally you chose my name??

Well the only thing that I found that was semi-significant was the sound of a panicked horse but that would also imply that about 3/4 of the audio is backwards and the other 1/4 is forwards.

I think 8AM would probably be a safe bet.

I wasn't able to find out anything about the actual funeral services but there is a permanent memorial at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Kenner, Louisiana (1906 Short St, Kenner, LA). It's just a few blocks away from the site of the plane crash.

I'm not going to feed the trolls... maybe just toss them a snack...

mmtahran,

we did not choose this name. This name was given to us. I'm sorry to inform you also that MY research turned up at least 2 other women with the name Melissa Tahran. You're not the only one. Tahran is also not that obscure of a name. If this IS in fact one of the 3 Melissas I've been able to find so far then please understand that we cannot take anything you say at face value. Do some research on Alternate Reality Games and you'll be quick to understand why.


Anyone else have anything on the reversed vids? I'ma start making a list up after I eat something

Sorry to burst your bubbles, but it's Trahen, not Tahran.

Razz I noticed my typo (cut and paste job from an earlier post) from last night in my previous post after I woke up this morning. Wasn't too much worried about it. Figured I'd go back and edit the post later. But then this "Melissa" posted and I couldn't resist poking a little fun. No worries though. Wink
