I can only guess it is reference to my screen name on here. Then agian I just really want to be involved.

Anyone agree with me?


Haha, that's funny. I doubt it, though. I think it's just a coincidence. Not only has Logan never mentioned screen names before, but the reference you're looking for is too broken for him to be talking about you.

Oh well, I just wish I could go crazy for SM:(
Actually, Logan never verified two of the people on his blog. Granted there has been no mention of screen names, but it isn't something we can just rule out. Also, I messed up the orginal quote:
Quote:
Others will say that they think it
belong to them, but do they THINK
[What looks like a question mark underneath]


With that said, I believe that the "YOU" pages are all in reference to the nine. I don't believe everyone was chosen from the voicemail. Logan could be watching these threads and taken notice of one or two of us. The fact that he makes the quote on one of the "YOU" cards means it is refering to someone, with the only clues begin

"do they THINK"

Who would they be? everyone else. What is everyone one else? People

Hence, do people think

 		Putting the dates from Logan's notebook in context
I've been working on a timeline of blog posts and in-game activity for a bit, and here are the dated pages put into the context of other activity.

September 2, 2009
Logan disappears (JAF)

September 24, 2009
Joshua has a motorcycle accident as result of Slender Man sighting. (JAF)

September 28, 2009
LEAVE IT JOSH. (JAF)

September 30, 2009
Joshua posts asking for addresses to send Matt Selby's notebook to. (JAF)

October 1, 2009
4:42 pm The sun hasn't risen or fallen in days. Weeks.// I can't help but think that me somehow losing track of time is more likely than the sun slowing in its orbit. // But if we are all slowly spiraling towards that brilliant star, then this is all ultimately useless anyway. (p3 LRN)

Presumably sometime between October 1 and October 4
OctOctOctOctOCTOctOct Night. I pray for daylight to even our fight. (p4 LRN)

October 4, 2009
Joshua posts that he has chosen a recipient for Matt's Notebook. (JAF)

8AM I was hit by a car this morning. // I ran before he could even ask if I was alright. // Why did I do that? (p5 LRN)

Noooooon More importantly. // WHY am I alright? (p6 LRN)

October 5, 2009
Joshua mails Matt's notebook to Dav. (JAF)

October 6, 2009
Logan posts The Reward to the JAF blog. Uses RESULTS OF REGRET tag for the only time thus far. (JAF)

Joshua posts that the previous post was not him. (JAF)

October 7, 2009
2:37pm So I have a theory. // A theory whose extent is just "not from here." // Beyond that lies research and experience. // When was the last time I slept? I honestly have no idea if what I'm writing makes sense. (p8 LRN)

October 8, 2009
Dav Flamerock receives Matt Selby's notebook from Joshua. (UF)

October 9, 2009
Dav posts video of Matt Selby's notebook revealing the editing Logan did to the notebooks since he posted the pictures of them on the JAF blog. (UF/JAF)

Joshua posts a link to the videos on the JAF blog. (JAF)

2:37pm He fell for my trap! I fell for his. (p10 LRN)

Sometime between October 9 and November 16
2:37pm If you keep seeing how high you can climb Eventually you will fall. (p11 LRN)

2:37 I lost the page about immortality (p16 LRN) -- clock is a small drawing at the bottom of the page.

Note that we deciphered the phone number on October 18. (UF)


From October 7th forward, the only time noted by Logan is 2:37. Stopped watch, stopped time, or is he specifically writing at that time? Also note that he continues making journal entries, but increasingly loses track of time. First, stopping dating things, then only drawing pictures of clocks, and finally not dating or timing his entries at all.

Oct 7th - notebook p4 he writes Oct seven times...

Probably unrelated, but 237 was the infamous hotel room from The Shining. Smile

If we take what he says on p3:
Quote:
The sun hasn't risen or fallen in days.
Weeks.

I can't help but think that me
somehow losing track of time is far
more likely then the sun slowing
in its orbit.


It seems as though the further along he goes, he gets deeper into a sense of lost time. This is consistent with chronic insomnia or sleep deprivation:
Quote:
Generally, lack of sleep may result in
* aching muscles
* dizzyness and nausea
* dry mouth
* hallucinations
* hand tremors
* headaches
* increased blood pressure
* increased risk for diabetes
* increased risk of fibromyalgia
* irritability
* memory lapses or loss
* nystagmus (rapid involuntary rhythmic eye movement)
* obesity
* slowed word recall
* temper tantrums in children
* yawning
* symptoms similar to:
o Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
o psychosis


This even matches what the folks in MH are experiencing.

Dry mouth - Tim asking for water
Dizziness and nausea - J in the house
Memory loss - all of them
Irritability - Alex on set
Psychosis - Maybe Alex, maybe Masky
Hallucination - Maybe source of SM

To continue with this (as if I am going to give up until Logan confrims or denies me being involved)

I was so involved in the back of the page I forgot about the front.

Now, I called the number Logan gave to us in the notebook, hoping that this will come into play later or he is waiting for people to respond to "the truths" he mentioned. On the front of the page it reads:

Quote:

#p25
[Handwriting is stressed, but still controlled; written in landscape]

V [page number]

I was not
able to find
[written to the L of YOU]

YOU
[scribbled very large in center of page]

but as
fate draws the
nine together
[written to the R of YOU]

without fail, you will undoubtedly read
this one way or another
[written underneath YOU; "without fail" underlined; R in "another" stylized and drawn long]


I can only refer to the last part for he knew that this would probably end up here. (OOG: Hell, I believe (might be wrong) that he sent just about everything to someone involved in this forum). With that said Logan has to have been watching us for a while now.

 		Yeah, that sounds like a good argument. Nobody should take what I said as gospel, though, I still believe it's a coincidence. We'll see, though, but for now, we definitely shouldn't assume it was meant for you.

How about this: if we can come up with who the other pages were meant for, the ones that remained in the notebook, and a compelling reason why, *and* that reason has something to do with their screen name(s), we'll consider your involvement absolute.

Sound good?

I can go with that.

There seems to be only one other page in which he refers to someone else. the one right after mine I believe.

Quote:
[On R page]

VII [page number]

YOU
[scribbled very large in center of page]

are but
a child,
[written to the R of YOU]

occupying the world that once belonged to
one of my closest friends
[written underneath YOU]


I can only guess that this person is a solider based off the last couple lines. But as to why he/she is referred to a child is beyond me, a clue to the identity?

Here are the videos. Sorry it took so long, but I just got the notebook yesterday, and I'll scan each page as soon as possible.

Did you start filming at 2:37? :P

As for the notebooks.. I've got nothing 8D
I'm greatly amused by the norse mythology references though. I love mythologies.

Here is the list of notes/the nine

BH - tetsuyabh - I

BS - zygotesix - II

DF - Dav Flamerock - III

JA - Joshua Allon? - VI - page missing

LR - Logan Renault - VIII

RE - msheadwound - IV

?? - unknown - V

?? - unknown - VII

HIM - Slender Man? - IX

Order of the ?? could be reversed, obviously.

Scans of the whole second notebook were posted by tetsuyabh earlier this thread.

 		I originally assumed that the "You are but a child but are occupying the world of one of my dearest friends." referred to Josh. I guess it doesn't really make that much sense when I think about it though, since he's not in a position remotely similar to Matthew.

 		While I agree that it will be helpful to determine which page is in whose hands, or was meant for whom, but we can't forget that there are other mysteries abound, as well!

For one, I may have a lead: I noticed that fate is a very active trope in the new notebook, so I looked at the fate category on JAF, and there are nine entries in the category. Important, or just a coincidence? Perhaps it will be helpful to add each blog entry's categorization to the time line for convenience sake?
