Bugger, I can't remember.

It's potentially Hatshoe taking the pee out of us for commenting on his apparent copy and paste skills?

lolnowthere'sthree

Also, there was another page with "he probably thinks escape is this easy" but I checked all the ones after Transform and there wasn't anything down there.

HOWEVER, Apples and Probably both have the Hamburg comment.

OH SWEET JESUS A NEW TWEET:

I don't know if I like this. You probably wouldn't. You're not an easy man to please.

idk what is happening


Remember way back, when we thought maybe "Carl" was *us*? Sometimes I think that's true, but other times the things his tweets make no sense in the context of "us" as people following him and trying to figure this all out. I don't know. I'm stumped.

ETA:
So I was checking his site to see if anything new was there and I went to terminus, just...because.

dictionary.com tells me that terminus means:
1. the end or extremity of anything.
2. either end of a railroad line.
3. British. the station or the town at the end of a railway or bus route.
4. the point toward which anything tends; goal or end.
5. a boundary or limit.
6. a boundary post or stone.
7. (initial capital letter) the ancient Roman god of boundaries and landmarks.
8. term (def. 10).


The image map that links says "This is who I used to be" and goes to hatshoe.org/seldon

So...did HS used to be Seldon Toart?

Yes, I agree with you. But I can't figure out why it is missing an H.

EDIT: SNIPPED.

Maybe the "game" is actually over. That's what I'm getting from all this.

EDIT 2: Missing H?

Hi! I'm new here, found hatshoe on 4chan (Paranormal, not the spammy ones with alot of kids in them) some months ago but paid no attention, now i found it again like a week ago and decided to join in! This is my first ARG ever btw.

/EDITTTT Just realized that the way i said that makes me seem like a channer. I am not, i just liked some of the threads on the paranormal board so i started checking there daily.

Here's what i have been thinking, maybe some of it is in the right direction.

Pages that have white dots glued on the paper where the holes should be:
chesthair, Hair, hoof, backhair, tan, Sleepwalk, Breathing, castles, scanner

maybe these pages are connected somehow?

Circle of Barenes on Hair.html, theres something wrong with this last word.

/EDIT I also think that by looking at the holes in some pages, you can see that theres more pages under the one written on (looks too thick where the holes are.) (seldon, mark, station, alot more too but haven't checked yet how many.)

I also think that the probably page could be a key of some sorts (the box in the middle seems very interesting to me)

The boxes four corners have each been marked with different kinds of pens:
upper left is a black pen that is thinner and less black than the marker below (gf says it could be a calligraphy marker that has 2 points, thicker markerlike one and a thinner point for moar precise writing.)
Upper right is pencil
Bottom left is a black marker (more black than the calligraphy pen)
Bottom right is a ballpoint pen.

I think this (the thing about the 4 different pens) was noticed somewhere but i can't remember, anyways it seems really really important (to me atleast).

Also

"Probably has something to do with hatshoe.org or somesuch."
I think its meant to be taken literally that it HAS something to do with SOMETHING atleast Razz.

There must be more favourite things too, i thinks! (why is the bottom right corner folded like that? And he says ONE of my favourite things is...)

There's some underlined words in the pages: weirdmovie has "condone", doglady has "smelled", methods has "doing", blues has "rising", reds has "The Party", something we must do with these too?

fern.html "U 2 B= youtube?" we need youtube was the message?

What about seldon.html, i think we need to go to the stickstream next? Also looks to me like theres letters in that slipnslide or whatever it is called Very Happy.

The bottom left corner has been folded here for some reason. /EDIT Noticed so has the upper right corner too! Also bottom on the middle has a big C.

And i was thinking about former.html
Path calculations, could that be navigation? Third Phase could be the Age of Discovery, so im trying to find what navigational method or device was founded early in the age of discovery. What started the age of discovery?

That's all i can think of now!

Ow, i also tried emailing hatshoe asking about the age of discovery and navigation etc, but no answer Sad.


tricycle has "he probably thinks escape is this easy." 4 times now, maybe its a subtle hint that we need to look at the video more Razz?

Terminus was also the original name of the city of Atlanta, named not for the god but for being the terminus (end) of many of the South's railroad lines. The name was soon changed to Marthasville, and Atlanta soon after that.

Probably nothing but what about this:

Terminus is the name of the home planet of the Foundation in Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.

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

Seldon recorded his messages in a time chamber (=capsule?), on terminus!

The C at the bottom middle:

from http://www.obscure.org/physics-faq/Relativity/SpeedOfLight/c.html
Why is c the symbol for the speed of light?

"As for c, that is the speed of light in vacuum, and if you ask why c, the answer is that it is the initial letter of celeritas, the Latin word meaning speed."
Isaac Asimov in "C for Celeritas (1959)" [1]

Hi. Several days ago, I told Hatshoe how he could fix the HTML on the Evidence page. And yesterday he replied with this (sorry I'm posting so late; I didn't check until yesterday):

Very, very good ideas have just been posted.

I do believe you are right, Loopkin, something significant is probably in the video.

But I really, REALLY believe that you are onto something with the Isaac Asimov's Foundation idea. I think you should try emailing Hatshoe about it.

BY THE WAY Tricycle now says "i think that's enough."

Alt text: I guess this was an attempt to be "political" and making some ass-fisted jab at the Establishment. I don't even know what it's supposed to mean. I think at the time, that was the point though.

http://hatshoe.org/mallow.html

Alt text: Again, the hats. Hats hats hats hats hats hats hats

Because of Loopkin's Hari Seldon idea, if you look on his Wikipedia page and try other last names from the Foundation series, Salvor Hardin and Hober Mallow work.

There are probably three more pages.

I don't know what it's supposed to be. I thought it was an old sage or something, but later I realized his hood didn't look like what I first thought it looked like. Now I dont' think it's really a hood at all.
