Sometimes these kind of things are just to show development in the plot and events of the story and to keep the players interested. In other words, it might just be a video showing what's happening to GBJ, rather than having anything for us to 'solve' about it.

Yeah, fair enough. This is the first time I've been in from the start on one of these so maybe I'm getting carried away and seeing things that aren't there.

But don't stop looking! There could well be something for us to find in the video and anything posted. Smile

So I've noticed that IIAE on YouTube is a subscriber of GBJ. Does GBJ know that he is the subject of some of IIAE's videos? If so, I have not noticed him acknowledge it. Should we bring this to GBJ's attention?

Also, YouTube user iDinosaurRawrz (Sally) created her account only one week ago, subscribes to only GBJ, and left a long message for GBJ on his channel. Any ideas? QAlchemist, I see you subscribe to iDinosaurRawrz, you know what it is?

We brought him being in IIAE's videos up in his forums...

But GBJ hasn't replied at all since then. Sad

And I have no idea; I noticed the strangeness too, and subscribed just in case.

GBJ has tweeted:

"Hey guys, I'm okay. (Boring as hell, seriously) Video on the way. I'll also have pics of the letter up on the site to go with it."

New video and images of the letter up now at GBJ's site.

There are 16 characters on the paper, and they look like they're set in pairs. Anyone know a code / language with that system?

http://media.photobucket.com/image/symbolic%20cipher/ThanatEros/Illuminati/IlluminatiCiphersORIGINAL.jpg

Found it. Surprisingly. (I searched symbolic cipher, and this image was on the first page).

Its some sort of illuminati (a secret organization that may or may not exist for those not in the know) cipher. It looks like from a quick glance over the paper, that it mostly uses numbers, which probably means that it translates into yet another code. I'll go through and try to get it into at least numbers.

I've been gone all week and its good to see I didn't miss too much that I couldn't just catch up on real quick, and got lucky that I came back early this morning and was able to see a new update today.

EDIT: Ok, after a quick look at the blog where that image was found, I found something interesting. On the post with the link to the image, there was something about the circle with the dot as well. The circle dot thing was on the envelope in GBJ's hand.

Now, here's the link to the blog: http://illuminaticiphers.blogspot.com/
It should be the second post down. I just kind of skimmed through that stuff though. It seems really important with this connection to the illuminati now, as well as possibly that doomsday 11:54 thing mentioned earlier.

My internet is being super slow right now. Once I've preloaded the video, I'll check it out, and then look at the letter.

/In/teresting... and great work there finding the cipher! Once it's translated into numeric, we can try and figure out what the next step in the code is.

I'm most interested in the Illuminati connection now. The mentions of a 'ritual' and a 'she introduced him to them'... some sort of botched initiation or an evil cult or something?

Around minute 9:05, when he takes his glasses off, does it look like his eyes are all weird? Like the wrong color or possessed or something? Might be my imagination but it looks like that part of the video has been manipulated.

I thought that too. But I wear glasses, and I've been told before that when I take them off I look a little weird, because they're used to the glasses. So it could just be that. But still, it might be something.

Comparing the letter to the Illuminati key, there are a few places where a symbol just isn't there on the key. And I saw a few letters in among the numbers. This only serves to confuse the heck out of me.

Ugh, I'm finally finished. Translating all of that stuff by hand was a lot of work, but I think I got it. There may or may not be errors in there, I don't know. By the second page I'd pretty much memorized the code, so it was easier to translate, but I still could've made a few errors here and there (mostly with those scissor looking things).

The number 1s with the question marks I'm pretty sure are correct, but all of the ones with the dots on them on the paper, i wasn't sure what those were, so I put a question mark next to it, and then guessed on what was closest.
