 		Again, i'm going to say this is all freakishly well done. We have a video posted up by dnc with him camped by an ambulance watching them pull someone out on a gurney. How is that not planned? All I can think of is that he got some stock footage from sonewhere or this arg is way bigger than just a couple everyday joes starting a game. O.O And I am now deeply disturbed by his new video. O_O
He never told us how to save her Sad I'm going to go to his twitter account and ask him, "Please tell us how to save her. Thank you." lol figure it's worth a shot.

 		I don't think we can, this message seems aimed at our friend with the tapes, the only way for him to save her is to stop and get rid of all of his dads stuff

 		eeek! this game freaks me out. *spec* does anyone think it could be connected to a tv show? (like american horror story) seems too indie BUT maybe that's intentional? idk.

and now this from the twitter acct.

I have been dismissing donotcontinue as a fraud, but after his latest video I don't think I can ignore him anymore.

It is well done, American Horror Story already ran its viral and I can't seem to find anything it might be connected to, but from the quality I do wonder if it could be a newer advertising company or someone trying to promote themselves (and their ability to create a viral buzz) because the quality is astounding

Well anyone can film fire engines. The LA Fire Dept. even allows their fire trucks to be used in porn films. And anyone can use their camera phone to record some woman working in a bank. I'm definitely thinking film student. The acting isn't very good at all - I doubt it would be for anything television/movie wise.

 		oh there has been plenty of horrible acting in many (most) pro games and plenty of great acting in indies. i def think this looks v indie but just spec-ing that someone could produce a pro arg that feels/looks indie if it fit the brand.

But can anyone be standing right there and filming when they pull a body out of a building on a gurney like in dnc's latest crime scene video? That had to be faked, plus how much does it cost to use the LA fire dep's stuff in a video? I doubt they would let someone do it for free, or cheaply, especially for porn ha.
This all seems set up to me. I think this has more backing than just some college kids. There are way too many "right place at the right time" situations.

Yeah, the dead body thing is what makes me think, I will be honest I do hope that is faked as I would feel odd if someone has used footage of a genuine death to make something like this, I do know that in the Uk at least if anyone at the event saw you filming they woud ask you to move along (more to avoid impeding people working than privacy) it just seems like the person has an ability to get what would be hard to find shots and the quality on the last DNC video was fantastic so whoever it is either has great equipment and a lot of time or something behind them


Also, any ideas on where we go from here? It seems we are waiting for one of the characters to do something, unless DNC gives us the chance to do something to help the girl it seems likley we need to wait for MDT to make his mind up and make a move [/quote]

 		What is the girl wearing in the latest video. The camera bumps up a little and you can see that there is something around her left shoulder and her chest. It starts to show up around 0:20.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
My first thought was plastic sheeting like in Dexter.

 		It looks like plastic.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I just saw a body on a gurney the other day, it's not that rare. Also keep in mind that police radios are available online and streaming now, so it wouldn't be hard to get shots of an ambulance, firetruck, or gurney.

 		Yeah seems to be plastic wrapping using for storing and moving heavy objects (have a couple of rolls around here and it looks exactly the same in light)

 		I think this is in-game. I found this link based on the binary:

It looks like the puzzle contains the zero with a line through it, but I can't tell what the rest of the image is.


Edit: This puzzle is insane. I don't think I have enough patience to put it together.

 		I'm working on it, but my flash player has been sketchy lately so I'll go ahead and upload what I have in case it crashes. The puzzle has only 2 colors and a crowded workspace, so this is pretty tedious.

 		Here's what I have so far, it's pretty much the same but the border and 0s are locked into place.

It looks like it will be a QR code, i just hope it actually scans right or this will be a huge waste.
