Emailed Blake again.

Quote:
Blake,

I just wanted to let you and David know thatjust we're having a cake sale next Saturday you're both more than welcome goto come; Patrick has been a little confusing as of late... Need some clarification on withthat.

I also needed tothe contact Dr. Basire about something which I think I missed on the last paper I emailhad to write, is there anyway to contact him that you know of? I'veletters lost any email I might have had for himare!!

I also came across fromsome letters in a magazine flyerthe other day which I can make no sense of; perhaps you or Dave could have a look? K E M T C I O E S F I U R I L H V U - I believe there's a nice cash prize at the end of it, I'll definitely share Wink

Hope to hear from you soon!

-L.D.S

Vlog 2 from David (Foe):

November 8th:
Title: He's Here then under comments: Get out.

This is the vid that David cannot see for some reason. Also the one Layton has recieved feed back about. See pg 2 for the "he cannot see" ref.

At :02 you hear David respond to someone over the internet on his headset "Yeah, hold on 1 second"
At :03 you begin to hear high distortion that is reminicent of an open headest with a fan on high right next to it
At :04 there is a break from the normal vid feed. the distortion continues.
"splice in" what it looks like to me is a negative image of an uncooked egg withe the yolk being torn into (or being broken out of?) We are given a couple of views of the quickly.
At :06 its back to David, looking down typing. The high distortion carries over this shot.
At :09 the distortion continues. yu can barely hear him reply again to someone over his head set "I'm sorry. That took a little longer than I thought" (I think) The I'm sorry is clear, but he speaks quickly. Meaning he is probably speaking to a friend someone used to his voice, and not vlogging. He spoke with much more clarity on his first submission.
At :10 we get the "splice in" of the QR code on a white sheet of paper with wierd drawing sort of darkened out to make QR the main focus.
At :13 we see the shadow behind him rise/enter room on the wall directly behind him. Also, audible distortion ends.
By :14 the shadow is seen walking towards his bed area, presumably to the closet.
At :19 something is said, most likely by shadow, but i cannot make it out. It is too quiet for me to hear.

From :06 to end at :21, David is completely unaware of any of this happening.

Ok, so we can assume that all the wierdness began after this strange little sapling was given to Blake from Prof Basire, who then planted it in David's yard possibly the day after he recieves it. I am assuming this because most peeps hate to go on campus on the weekends for class unless they really love something or their prof has time to meet w them. So on that spec we'll say that Blane had possesion of said tree since the 6th of November.
6th:He planted that night, thus creepy goings on at David's unbeknownst to Blake at this time.
7th: Blake goes to David's house, sees creepy vid, they decide to post on a vlog about it.
8th: Blake blogs about getting tree from Prof and having a sem to figure out what it is. Goes to David's to check on it. Discovers it has not only grown, but moved as well. Also David is filmed through his webcam with weird "splice ins" and shadow on wall as well as audio distortion and something being said at end of clip. He and Blake are unaware of this vid and cannot see it uploaded on David's vlog. Blake goes home and blogs about change in sapling.
9th and 10th: Blake continuuse to blog, no new entries to David's vlog.
From the 11th: Leyton emails and recieves answer embedded with italicized clues: The roots Grave are "Patrick" thirst growing. Leyton then responded in like with his own respone: What roots? Who is Patrick? Why are we typing in code? Leyton then recieves confirmation that Blake and David cannot see second vid and this:break the code roots see (again in italics).
the 12th on it is easy to follow so far.

Well I've yet to hear anything from Blake since the email so either he's taking the weekend off (The PM that is lol) Orrr... We're still looking in the bloody wrong places lol.

Nothing new on youtube nor on Blake's blog as of yet either.

Barcode thing from second video

Just thought I'd post it here so no one else has to go through the trouble of pausing and unpausing the video.

Thanks Anosh but the QR code isn't relevant to the 'game' anymore lol. It leads to Blake's blog which we already have Wink

Good work nonetheless!

i'm in on this, sent him a standard mail inquiring about the seed giveaway[starting from the bottom]
EDIT: odd, i used an online barcode reader for the image i got from the second vid, it came up as, oddly enough, http://dendrology.blogspot.com
EDIT2: and cross-referencing it with an online QR-code[i learnt the name for these things ^_^] generator, it matches :/
[enter http://dendrology.blogspot.com/ into the URL= field]
EDIT3: but now i notice that we were told that before >_>

...
how do you know about the miles to go site not being relevant anyway, leyton?
[i like that poem, anyways]

Just take it as an informed guess the URL is indeed mis-typed in the code Wink

---

In regard to my latest email I've had one back on Blake's email but it came from 'the entity' again.

INSIDETHEWORDSISWHATYOUSEEKINSIDETHEWORDSISWHATYOUSEEKINSIDETHEWORDSISWHATYOUSEEKINSIDETHEWORDSISWHATYOUSEEKINSIDETHEWORDSISWHATYOUSEEK


Over and over again.

I'm going to assume considering nothing in this email meets that criteria, that they're referring to whatever that is scribbled over the email address on Blake's flyer OR the jumbled up letters from the tree pic and the bottom of the flyer. Could someone with the tools try and work that out??

*happy dance* Just got an email response from Blake about the seeds he is sending out! He said they'll be sent out as soon right after the 20th.... maybe there will be "extra padding" if we are still stuck!

I really hope we arent though!!!

Luck of the draw? I like scary entity dude...hes been giving us nudges at least!! Twisted Evil Ok, going back to letters and treating them as seperate entities; letters on the "tree door" and letters on the bottom. All we have solidly is "Patrick" signed the graffitied letter....and i still do not understand the strikeout where they overwrote deadotanists instead of
amateur botanists. (other than a warning of things to come?)

okok, nose to grindstone.....

Had the most random email from Blake when I logged in, just now.

Quote:
Hey Leyton,
Your last email correspondence came through distorted and I couldn't make any of it out. Just letting you know.

-Blake


So I replied and because I can't be ar$ed coding all the bold I just SS my reply and here it is.



ETA: also noticed Blake has replied to a couple of the comments left by [presumably] you guys on his blog. This one first.

Hiya Blake! Have you told your prof about your projects wonderful growth?

Blake replied.

I did! He's as excited as I am. He also said it appears to be growing exactly as it ought to, so apparently I'm doing a good job!


It appears to be growing exactly as it ought to? - So, wait... Dr. Basire knows exactly what this plant is and isn't supposed to be doing? Now that don't sound weird, at all... Shocked

He also replied to this one from DarkProject here.

Blake, where did you get this sapling? Since you're a dendrology guy, if you can't ID it, it may be a problem. Don't send out seeds to anyone until you identify it.

Well given my professor gave them out, I hardly think that's a problem. I just haven't been able to find the right text yet!
November 15, 2010 8:16 PM


Again noting the prof gave them out... But the bit in bold had me confused. - What hasn't he been able to find the right text for? Does he mean book to ID the saplings?
