Hey, lurker here.

I've seen a couple of times that 1934 is given as Belle's birthyear, but if she's 83 as it's been said, wouldn't she had been born in 1928 or 1927?

Sorry if it's been explained somewhere else as I follow just this forum, but it's been bugging me.


My bad. 1934 is the year the photo was taken, because they say she was 6 years old in that photo. When I said she's born in the same year as Manson I took the photo-year as birth-year from God-knows-what screwed up logic.

But yeah, 1934 is the year that "most" of the photo belongs to.

Sorry. Bad maths.

automata dummie.

I was thinking about doll's drawing, I search google and found this site, http://cyberneticzoo.com/ belongs to an Australian expert on robots, then I send an email with pictures that have leaked so far.

this is your answer.:


this is the link mentioned in the mail: http://amorphicrobotworks.org/works/urge/index.htm

I will contact more experts in this 'automatas' to get to the truth.

Some important notes about the theories and speculation that have popped up in the past few pages of this thread:

The first drawing DOES NOT say "Don't Throw Stone." It says "Stone Throw Cont." and in "Stone Throw Contraption" or "Stone Throw Continued."

Also this: http://www.formspring.me/8X3X11/q/213476273664589585

and this: http://www.formspring.me/8X3X11/q/214168042597280418

I could go into more, but its getting to be a little tiring. Many of the folks who started working on this a few weeks ago have stopped posting, and I don't blame them. There seems to be a pattern where new folks join the discussion without reading the whole forum or the whole Formspring, and the folks that have been around are put in the position of having to constantly correct previously discounted speculations from newcomers. This wouldn't be so bad if there were ever any new puzzle to solve, but all we seem to do is collect more red herrings and recycle old theories without giving credit to the folks who came up with those theories weeks ago. If you're new, you may find yourself in this position soon, as more new folks drop by. Good luck. Have fun with it. As for me, I'm taking a break, because all of these old recycled theories are getting tiring.

Remember not to read the answers with your blinkers on:

Q. Does Belle have a twin SISTER?
A. No

Q. Has Belle been tortured blah blah scarred etc?
A. No.

Read their answers carefully, I believe they are being very specific. Maybe what they leave out is important?

Q. Is this about the Illuminati? New World Order? (paraphrased)
A. The Illuminatido not exist.

Q. can you tell me the positions they occupy members "18.000" "21.000" "36.000" "68.000" "175.000"?
A. 18,000 Founder
68,000 Codes
175,000 Me
(what about 21000 and 36000?)

This question also struck me as odd, or the answer did rather.

Q. Had you played Black Ops? Mason? Kennedy? Wich type of games have you been played?

A. The only video game we've ever played is DooM.

The question is a reference to a storyline in Call of Duty Black Ops (I havent played this so if someone can fill this in better please do so) where a guy named Mason is maybe hypnotised/brainwashed to assassinate Kennedy via a number trigger or soemthing that he hears in his head, causing him to hallucinate.
Further info here: http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Alex_Mason

The thing about this is that the question is NOT about games. It is about the actual plot line, with numbers and brainwashing etc. I think they know this when they reply.

'We've' ever played is DooM. Seriously? 'We'? Only played DooM? Is the answerer referencing himself in plural? Or the whole group has only played DooM? Because that's a bit odd, usually different people will play different games. I think its a clue or something somehow. OMG THEY ARE GOING TO OPEN A PORTAL TO HELL (jk jk)




The repeating marks I believe may match the 'rotary switch' symbol here:


I think this would have to do with how far it was tilted, it would maybe send different sounds from the speaker?

Doesn't it look odd how carefully they have traced the face outline for a mannequin? And it also looks like they have gone to a bit of effort to make it look NON-FEMALE.

The neck looks like an traditional 'android' neck with the stripes on it, not a mannequin? Do a google image search for 'mannequin head'... all just have a molded neck.

The radio looks like a 'walkie-talkie' handset with an antenna. Why an antenna? Surely this would work with pre-recorded sounds?
Who would broadcast through it? Why is this thing so old-school mechanical and not computerized, eg just with laptop plugged in behind the scenes running through wires and speakers? I mean, wires from rocks however many meters away? With the corners in the pipe it really wouldn't work too well. It would almost be easier like a kids toy to have infrared sensors or something, which surely an electronics student could easily make?

The first blueprint showed possible 'resistor' symbols under the ground, beneath the figure, although there weren't as many 'zigzags'. It could also be the symbol for 'representative of a longer length of line', so if you wish to represent a longer line just with a short symbol you do that specific up-and-down zigzag.

peace

That doesn't really make a difference, though, because they still said on formspring that the one who throws a stone is a liar. In other words, you shouldn't throw stones or you are considered a liar.

I hope you aren't including me within the group of people that "join the discussion without reading the whole forum or the whole Formspring" and those who "recycle old theories [...]". I can assure you, that I have read the whole thread as well as the 400+ formspring questions. Also, none of the theories that are posted on the last page have been posted in that way before. I came up with my theory with nothing but Plume's statement as my inspiration. It is therefore impossible that I deliberately "recycled" an old theory.

If you are making such a statement you should at least include the theories that you are referring to, those that have been "recycled without giving credit".

Just a quick question, I've read through this whole thing + the formspring answers but I still don't understand, how was http://8-3-11.info/stats uncovered?

Considering one of the fake "You're Lost" pages listed on Google is 8-3-11.info/tombraiderrules , I would guess they are lying about only ever having played Doom. Not that I think that matters anyway, aside from maybe dating the PMs a bit.

The ridiculous amount of non-information on Formspring has really turned me off. I can understand that they are probably getting way more questions than they ever anticipated, but to choose to answer the same questions repeatedly when they have specifically asked people to just read the posts seems a bit disingenuous. The whole tone of the answering kind of takes away from the atmosphere of the mystery as well.
And why bother to get on yesterday to only post two answers? One of them was already answered fairly recently!

It is clearly their 'turn' to do something.

Oh, and please refrain from posting large images directly into posts.
Either resize it or just upload it to an image site like IMGUR and provide a URL link within the post.
Large images mess up the sizing of the entire page and it's annoying.
Sorry to be annoying about pointing that out....

175,000 said there was enough information for the next breakthrough. It was also implied that there was a new image of Belle on the site. I think we should focus on the clues given in the Sightings page.

Another question, on the get involved page, is there any reason why when you highlight, there's "~ 18000" right at the top..? Why would 18000 sign it right at the top, then again under "Applications are temporarily closed."?

That's really weird...

In the source code it says:
<div><small><small><small><small><small><small><small><small><small><small><small><small><small><span>~18,000</span></small></small></small></small></small></small></small></small></small></small></small></small></small><br>

Why would they make it that small? I mean, it's not like it's not another time on the page.

I haven't seen them all laid out at once before, so thank you.
I'm really curious as to why they would do the alphabet like that..
I'm almost certain the oero one means nothing. It's just oreo (which was on the image) backwards.
Anyone have any theories on "eye" or "The Switch"?
Perhaps The Switch relates to the stone throwing contraption?

The names have been discussed earlier, along with the alt. text and how they're different than the image names.

Have any of you sent in an image for the sightings page? Was it posted? I'm wondering if we'll get more clues from the page if they receive more photos/promotion. Then again, it's possible that they've gotten more than what they've posted (it is fairly popular) - just enough for the amount of information they want to give.
