What ya got for me?


Wow. Well, not quite the way I was going to put it, but at least someone asked about it since they specifically mentioned it in the video. You have to wonder what non-human creatures they are talking about mating with...

 		One thing that I thought about when watching the first video is the predominance of a motif of reproduction and virility.

Plants. Seeds. Fragments breaking off (reproducing). The young (and therefore most virile) are in danger. Nightlife (going to clubs). Non-human sex.

Perhaps the Godseed fragments use teens as hosts for their spawn, like in Aliens?

 		Guys, we should just stop trying. A Youtube commenter figured it out:

 		Reproduction Theme
How would the end of the couples nightlife scene play into this? Because at the end of that scene the couple walk out of the bar and head in complete opposite directions (just like most of my dates, sadly.)

 		Hi. I found the video by accident just looking for kooky things on YouTube. Little did I know just how consumed I would become with this whole thing. My first ARG, I'm having a blast just trying to figure this stuff out and reading other people's finds. The thing that makes this so exciting is real people are picking up calls and talking to players in this strange in-game jargon, and someone left a clue in a real-life area for someone to go find. I've yet to get ahold of either Mike or Joey but I did leave my e-mail in a voicemail and sent this email to make sure they got my address:

Subject: BIG FAMILY looking to relocate to Milwaukee


Hello, I have seen your informative video on the city of Milwaukee and
my family and I are very excited at moving.

I have a very big family it includes: Myself (age 40), my wife (also
age 40, Chinese ethnicity), our 3 children (two boys aged 14 and 16,
and a little girl aged 9), and my wife's parents (who are Chinese
immigrants, aged 72 and 74).

I hope to plant our family tree in Milwaukee!

Please send me more information about how to move to Milwaukee!


I hope I get one of these famed "information packets".

Been lurking this thread for a long time, decided to finally register. Unfortunately I'm getting about all the same information out of Joey and Mike, although Mike seemed to get really angry when I asked about M-rotors, asking me who told me about them, and if it was "that kid in the office."

Semper games

 		Aliens? Non Humans?
I don't think we've seen really evidence of that kind of think.

There's the godseed. And then there's the really weird people in the video but they aren't aliens or non human. They just seem disconnected from modern civilization. Could they be "ancestors" or part of the "family tree".

Ancients?

I dunno. They do say sex with something other than human.

I'm thinking robot.

Awesome. I actually want to get a hold of someone via phone and ask how easy it would be for an Asian family to move to Milwaukee.

As for the reproduction theme and the couples splitting up after the club, someone mentioned something about the M-Rotor bit about jettisoning personnel coming right before they leave the club. Perhaps the nightlife is a cover to lure people into getting re-seated, whatever that means.

Also, re-seating may be a form of "brainwashing"... which would explain why some adults are drone-like and don't act very human. Again, a common theme in Sci-Fi (A Brave New World, Clockwork Orange, Equilibrium, 1984).

EDIT: I didn't mean they were actually aliens. Just that the fragments act like the aliens in the movie Aliens. But yea, robots would definitely tie in with the aluminum man and robot arm guy.

 		Kinda like...
Scientology...

There's some sort of programming going on. Cults often adopt terminology and mythology that only someone that's IN would understand.

 		Robots
I think it is robots, especially when you consider that Terry Nanny says we built the godseed and there are those creepy pictures of robot arm guy, and the tin-foil robot...now how does the family tree factor in? And for that matter, why is it that most adults spend their DAYS in Blackstar and their Nights in the canning district?

One more thing, someone should call Mike Russo and tell him they are after the treasure and dont believe in "all those rumors" or whatever Treasure Hunter says in the video. The response might be helpful in figuring out how Terry Nanny relates to Blackstar and the MTC.

 		Why Mario 4?
What evidence that it's connected to Mario 4?

 		Wow, a lot happened while I was at work...Great job with the drop and all the phone calls.

I was googling Thisismymilwaukee, (and by now you'd think I would have it bookmarked) and this is what came up:

This is My Milwaukee
infoSPLATthisismymilwaukee.com 414-688-7035 PO Box 511602, Milwaukee, WI 53203. Synydyne BlackStar Nim Projects. 0. 5. 0. 1. 5. 0. 1. 6.
thisismymilwaukee.com/ - 5k - Cached - Similar pages

Has that string of numbers always been there?

Ah! It looks as if they have discovered that too at SA! They don't appear to know what it is either...anyone here got an idea?....or even better anyone on both forums with an idea?

Good idea. Part of me thinks when Terry says "You remind me of someone, Treasure Hunter. *wink*" that he's talking about us, the people playing along and trying to decipher all of this. Or it could be referring to a protagonist in the movie/video game/story that this is all leading up to.

This is the code that's generating that number pattern:
Code:

<script>
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>


It looks like it might just be Google tracking.

 		I think when websites are doing google tracking the code is set apart. I think this might just be checking to make sure it only shows up when the google-search-bot is looking.
