I THINK I FOUND SOMETHING!!

[Starblind]

As much as I'd absolutely LOVE to believe the game's back on, I'm pretty sure this is a fan creation, unconnected with the game or the PMs.

Of course, anything that shows the PMs that people are still interested in the game is theoretically a good thing, though.

I too worry it's a fan creation; the production values are rather low.

(1) aGoDSentfriendindEED's comment said "The interns dide eate the fennel I stored in the employee iceboxe". This would seem to be Chuck Jagoda's style of writing, but the video on aGoDSentfriendindEED's youtube channel is allegedly "Addressing the Rebel Propaganda -- Blackstar discusses the bold claims of certain individuals intent upon distorting Blackstar's reputation." Chuck Jagoda's not affiliated with Blackstar AFAIK, but he's affiliated with Fabrizzio's (which isn't to say the two are mutually exclusive). Further, no one in TIMM has ever referred to a fennel as a fennel -- always a "family tree."

(2) 0:22 in the video reads "The seasons will soon change in Milwaukee" over the image of Cool Dog in greek letter font -- not the most sophisticated of puzzles, which further leads me to think this is a fanwork.

(3) 0:01 to 0:02, there COULD be some kind of letters coded in the odd pixellation within the star or beneath it, but it's more likely it's just some kind of frame-by-frame dithering artifact that resulted from file size reduction, if I had to guess -- I can't make out anything that looks like letters.

(4) 0:30 the all-capsing of SEASONAL is interesting, considering seasons may play a major role in the TIMM universe, but ultimately nothing a fan couldn't come up with on their own.

(5) 0:40 -- "Repopulate" is spelled "Repoplulate."

(6) 0:48 -- clip from the TIMM video showing the bearded dude doing a street portrait of some dude we don't know. Not a clue here.

I dunno -- I'd like to hope this is really from Synydyne, but I'm sadly doubtful. It's now been over a year since the NYC meetup. The Champion Dynasty Defense Fund watches me from my desk, not radiating any mysterious power, only cold apathy.

I'm pretty sure this one is also nothing, but it hasn't been mentioned on UF as far as I know.

"A Milwaukee Fan Video! Funy" is the title. It's a nonsensical mutilated version of the original TIMM video with a lot of static noise (which may or may not contain hints - I haven't checked).

The text under the video says
CATACOMB_4_STREAM.1stre "sourc:GOD SeeD LINKy23.21.12.02hd auth:GROUP_DELTA sy:?PPP???"

which makes no sense to me.

The user who uploaded the video has several other weird videos.

Frankly, I don't know what to make of this.
