@Guest10
I'm very happy you decided to join in and help us. However, this is a logical discussion board not a hacker chat room. Not only is it extremely difficult for even us native English speakers to decipher what you're trying to say, but a number of the members on this board speak different languages and will be unable to use a translator to help them understand. So please, use plain old English next time. Very Happy

There are also great benefits to becoming a member of the boards. It's simple, free, you can edit your posts, add an avatar and signature, send private messages, track when someone replies to a thread you're participating in, and so much more!

Also, we would very much like to see how you came to the conclusions you did so we can all be on the same page. IE, where did you find the "In Situ" reference, etc.

Okay...So, I'm finally typing in. This is cool. I was lurking in this game. And I must say I was finally recovering from Cloverfield and Aladgyma. So, I'm back on board. Hi, my name is 10, like the number.

I have to say something about this J.A., Ally, and Finn thing. I cross googled the names and came across the phrase "In Situ" or "ready for testing in place" when the line is used in reference to aerospace experiments.

Just thought I'd let you guys in on my brain. I'm going to follow this one...


@icerimp
Great job! Now it looks like we're waiting on more photos if her comment is to be believed. And maybe they decided to start this thing on 8-3-08? Can't find any relevant google references otherwise.

Another lead....

I emailed the revolution8308 address with a message in binary that just asked for information on how to reach Allison or Finn, and was given the following response (in binary):

"I believe Allison once told me her name online was voodoochild8308 if I ever needed her."

Of course, we already know the username from flickr, I'm going to try and send an email to that username on AOL and see what happens.

As soon as my webmail comes back online...grrr...

On voodoochild's picture, is there some significance to the "b" on her guitar? It seems to be printed on a paper and wedged behind the strings.

I haven't had much of a chance to look into things since this morning, but if we get stuck, it may be worth asking Finn and Jesse what the significance of the 'B.' could be, since they said she used to send them messages through that. Maybe it was meant for them?

I didn't even notice there was a B up there! Jesus Christ, how did I miss that? Excellent catch, man.

Maybe it's the start of a message, and the pictures that are to come will each have a letter in them that contributes to the full message?

Or maybe it means we should go to /b/ which, uh, somebody else can do that and report back, really it's fine.

Also icerimp has a great point.

Also, and this may be completely irrelevant, but the strings showing on the guitar are, from left to right, D,G,B,E (high e- the topmost and bottommost strings on a guitar are 2 octaves apart). The low E and A are hidden behind the note.

Coincidence? Looking for patterns where none exist? Probably. Still, if this mystery requires some musical knowledge, I might just be of some help for a change.

Also, I suppose I'll be surfing /b/ for a night or two, since nobody else seems willing.

Good catch on the user name.

EDIT: Did anybody notice the tags on the guitar picture? Where is mariah?

I can't see the connection, but at revolutionwithincrisis.blogspot.com, the 'about me' says b.l.a.c.k. m.a.r.i.a.h. Black Mariah?

We need to ask Finn and J.A. if this means anything.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Maria

I'm partial to Edison's Black Maria, arguably the first movie studio in America. Still, could be a lot of things, including something that has absolutely nothing to do with history and more to do with a PM that just likes the sound of the name.

Additionally, the stuff G10 was talking about? Yeah, I'm going to guess that's probably barking up the wrong tree. Sorry, G10!

There is a new blog entry with a new picture.

They are lyrics from the song "Hang 'Em High" by My Chemical Romance

Quote:
Wait until it fades to black
Ride into the sunset
Would I lie to you?
Well, I've got something to say
Grab your six-gun from your back
Throttle the ignition
Would I die for you?
Well here's your answer in spades

Shotgun sinners
Wild eyed jokers
Got you in my sights
Gun it while I'm holding on

After all is said and done
Climb out from the pine box
Well I'm asking you
'Cause she's got nothing to say
The angels just cut out her tongue
Call her black Mariah
Would I lie to you?
That girl's not right in the brain

Mass convulsions
Strike the choir
By the grace of God
Gun it while I'm holding on

But don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me and fade to black

She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door
[x3]

I got the email as well. Here is the eyeball, modified to highlight the words. Thought it might help readers see the words better... Wink

Also, did they take the song lyrics down? I can't find them on the blog.

No, they were never on the blog. Sorry for not making that clearer. I found them online.

Stegdetect comes up negative on that image. Force of habit, I guess.

@Inspektor Magik

Gerard Way is the lead singer of My Chemical Romance, and natas posted the lyrics to the song a few posts before you.
