Yeah I posted too. I was surprised that the recent posts seemed to go up as they were submitted with no delay. I thought they might be checked for content first - but don't know how they could've. Mine showed up soon as I entered it.

Before i thought they may be showing up comments when one is IG
For example:
I post 10 comments (and they do not get published)
Then a PM posts a comment (concerning things that are IG i.e anderson (maybe))
And then my posts along with the PM's get published

I thought this was because of a bug on the website or something
But why they have decided to show all the comments without approval i have some theories:
They are done with the website and we are supposed to find clues to another (like HLM)
Or they just forgot to enable comments at all times (but considering the amount of work the PM's went to, to make a site such as RP i doubt it)
The last option is that it is a mistake, but that would be pretty boring

Same here, ya'no I thought I was on to something there.. maybe not? Crying or Very sad

I'm still holding out hope that they, for lack of better word, "trust" a few of us with commenting and keeping it relevant and IG. Rolling Eyes



Well kiddies were on the final stretch here..May 1st Today. We have been on this broken rolercoaster for many months.. I for one have had my hands up the entire way, when not holding the door on.



I'm ready...before I was just faking .. but now i'm ready to have my mind blown..scanners style if necessary ..

From this excerpt from Finkbeiner's The Jasons - it looks like they had a wry sense of humor.

In italics, indicating from Sarah, on http://revalistic.com/explanation.
If you're able to check this, wanted to let you know that I'm safe. I've been careful, like we talked about. But I haven't heard from you since last week and I'm starting to get worried now. If you can find a way to let me know you're OK please do so.

I know you're still beating yourself up over it but you didn't get that man killed. It's not your fault. Just remember that I'm here for you. You're not doing this alone.


Meh, not much.

Ok, so thinking out loud here:

Mysterio (aka Alexander Kaslov or Kasiov) contacts Josh, believing Josh has things in his, or his mother's possessions related to Minker Sr. and his odyssey since leaving the lab and going underground. Josh has an empt cyclider with three dots on it which match the three dots on the badges. He also has the comic with TROGL written in it. Mysterio has access to the PDP 11 and on it is the scan of the 1963/4 newspaper with the code on it that indicates We go underground meaning that Minker Sr. started hiding in 1963. Josh is about to be born, or is a newborn at this point. Prior to going underground, Minker Sr. is working in the top secret lab which is working on the cubes (no confirmation that he or others are working with an alien). They are working on an alternative energy source using foreign matter (the cubes). Something goes wrong with the experimentation and it gets out of hand. We are still in the 1963/4 time period.

Forward to 1979
Something happens at Area 51 and research and materials need to be moved to Ohio. Using midnight trains, they begin the move to Ohio, but before they get to the destination, the yellow pickup purposely crashes into the train derailing it. Minker Sr., in hiding for 15 years now, is involved. Josh is 15 years old and he and Evelyn are living at an unknown location. The kids are filming at the train station and witness the crash and almost get caught up in the crash. They rummage through the debris and Joe hears and witnesses the creature's escape from the boxcar. He pockets a found cube. It seems likely that he or Charles also grab a reel of film, perhaps the film in the editing room. Creature goes on rampage through town.

Forward to 2010/11
Mysterio contacts Josh, Mysterio goes to FFSH and collects clue left under staircase. Mysterio is being followed and is concerned. He sends Josh to Nevada to collect next clue, the photo of lab techs, labeled with badge IDs. The comic is used to decode this clue.
Mysterio is presumed dead after Josh receives photo of parents in mail with note on back. Notes warns Josh about one of the techs being a bad man and trying to start up the experimentation again, which will be dangerous. Josh will go after the next clue in WV by car. Sarah hasn't heard from him and posts to the website hoping he might check it and contact her.

Meanwhile, Sarah is an engineer and finds scans of old files that scare her. The files contain Johs and Evelyn's names and she finds Josh, posing as the new manager at his company. She falls in with a group that wants to uncover truth, and encourage her to investigate the files; origin and meaning, and whether these experiments have started up again in 2011. I believe these files are the VRELIC files, but not confirmed. Her groups has dissapeared on her and she posts Revalistic.com looking for help for her questions. Her posts involve particle physics and what has been going on since the 1950s in research. Christofilos, particle acceleration, Argus high altitude testing, ARGO and TF88, Jason and Mitre all point to physicists doing particle research.

So that sums up where we are currently... at least in my mind.

Nice summary. Sounds pretty reasonable. I'm not sure what clue you're saying was decoded with the comic. Also it seems like Josh has had some conversations with Alexander that we weren't in on - so I don't know if the "next piece" in WV was another clue or an actual piece of equipment or what. I hope we get to hear from Josh soon about what it is he was going after. Maybe he'll post again on revalistic.com. Other possible ways he could communicate with Sarah would be by phone, HLM, the STIES PDP 11, or maybe some other way (?).

Also - I think RP still ties in somehow since we got the newspaper ad from STIES and the questions sent from RP included the floating cubes and a few other parts of the ARG.

At least things seem to be moving along.
