Yes, I sent a message through songwraith's youtube account. I took his reply to mean that the crumbs have not been scavenged so it's still a trail.


Yeah that's what I have been doing as well. Still no response. I feel really out of my league here.

To my question of songwraith, "Are we starting fresh or should we also consider the videos from last Spring?" came this reply:

A trail of breadcrumbs is a dangerous proposition. Consider the birds. If they eat it, it cannot be followed. If they choose, for whatever reason, to leave the breadcrumbs as they are then it is indeed a trail still.


So yes, everyone should read or re-read the following topic: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24796

Lots of relevant info there, if I do say so m'self; even has a photo of a pregnant lady with a noose around her neck (Hanged Bride) standing in front of a crowd of dudes (Jury). Not sure how much attention we should be paying to unanswered questions from then, though. Do we still have to send TheBruce to get kidnapped by hoodlums on his way to Gaia?

 		Regarding contacting songwraith, I think he's gven us instructions on that:

I interpreted this to mean that he won't be responding to any more "How far am I from the Prison City" or "Hi, can you catch me up" or other such questions. I think he'll only be responding to questions that are pertinent to the stage of the game that we are currently in, and actually help further the game. Good questions that are "carefully chosen."

Either that or each only get one question every new video or something like that. Which would mean if we had to ask multiple questions to get to an answer we'd have to coordinate together.

 		I asked Songwraith if the birds were pointing us in the right direction. His response was a link back to the Heads VS Hearts video.

 		So I asked songwraith via youtube if I can be of any help to him and he responded with a link to a picture (no other communication):

http://www.photoanon.com/viewer.php?file=qliq8868gsasodcyx4.jpg

The file name could be interesting: qliq8868gsasodcyx4.jpg

Also there is a bird on that leathery parchment with long feathers and a ship. And something written on it.



Edit: Written on it there is:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ut incepit fidelis sic permanet

(Latin for "As loyal as she began, so she remains", which is the motto of the Canadian Province of Ontario)

 		Very intriguing image you received Trustiva. It looks to me like there's a man's face reversed out in it, almost shrouded. The bird's wings form eyebrows, the tail feathers suggest a nose, the script makes the mouth, and the bottom of the ship forms the chin. The bird looks like it could be a phoenix. I'm not great at bird identification, so please let me know if it's something else. Here's some info on Phoenix mythology in the meantime:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenixology

While thinking about the videos from last March, I recalled the line, "Can you find my hidden city?" This leads me to question whether the prison city is on a map at all.

 		Omtario Info
I found a little background on the Ontraio motto. Check out this link: http://www.billcasselman.com/casselmans_canadian_words/ccw_seven.htm

Basically, it says that the motto is referring to the people who settled Ontario during the American Revolution. They could either stay and fight for independence from King George or go to the Ottawa Valley where there was free land.

Not sure if this is helpful, but it puts the motto in perspective. I am trying to find the motto (Latin or English version) tied to a ship, but no luch so far.

 		I've been taking a closer look at the ship sketch and see what appear to be letters on the upper left side of it (our view). Looks like it could say oes. What do you all think?

 		I am new as I haven't posted here before. I also messaged songwraith to join. I agree that the birds are significant. However, I was curious about the cast of characters so i did some google searches and produced this: But I
http://members.aol.com/TNash74528/bathshebaruggles.html
In brief it discusses a man who was killed by his pregnant wife. She was then executed while pregnant. This is something that wasn't even done during the salem witch trials. Don't know if it relevant to what has come before or now, but it fits the hanged bride who had her baby cut out etc bit.

In relating to the birds, here's a website on the phoenix: http://www.mythicalrealm.com/creatures/phoenix.html
So I asked this question of him: Is the phoenix newly alive or nearly dead?
I am hoping to get an answer.

 		Welcome Thunderclap. Enjoyed your research but don't think Bathsheba is our hanged bride. In this story the baby survived the birth and was later drowned; Bathsheba's baby probably wasn't viable at five months, and it died along with her.
From the big sleep video:
Quote:
They hung her with my child inside of her. I saved the little girl, but the townspeople drowned her, too.

 		Hi guys. I'm a long time lurker and I've finally decided to get involved in this. I just got myself up to speed reading all the posts in this thread and the old one. Quick question...If the old videos are still relevant is the map still relevant as well?

Welcome BadSmeagol. Since they are part of the trail of breadcrumbs that the birds did not touch it seems so.

ETA: Keeping in mind that I often find strangely coincidental but unrelated connections, I thought this one worth a brief mention. I've been thinking about the anon image and decided to Google Phoenix, ship, and Ontario. It gave me this page: http://www.shipwreckworld.com/story/the-phoenix-steamboat-shipwreck-discovered.aspx Its remains were found using sonar, and the beginning of the second graph says, "The Phoenix had become the pride of the side-wheel steamers upon majestic Lake Champlain." Although this ship is a steamer, the sketch does show a mast and sails as well. So I'm wondering if the pride isn't a person but a thing.

 		Yeah, see I was thinking ships with the whole "vessel of vengeance" thing and I was afraid I was way off base. It's nice to see someone else was thinking that way as well. I'm going to give it another look.
