Re: [REF] Loose Ends

Heck, we still haven't gotten anywhere on figuring out the clues implied by Wally Bole's picture on the ROT site. I'm sure there is something to his picture. But that's a more recent item. Going back to when the THF site was up, what about the time conflicts from the hack about when Alvar Hanso was last seen? That seemed like a blatant clue, but I don't recall it ever being connected to anything either. Come to think about it, such time conflicts have occurred throughout this ARG. Anyways, at the end of this same hack, if you wait a little longer we discovered it actually ended with Morse Code. The code itself was translated (see May 8 hack explanation in "Act One" of Quick Reference Guide), but the resulting clue never did connect to anything.

8- Who is Mel0drama and where did he/she go?

I would like to add something to that – "Why does Persephone need his/her help to upload video clips and audio clips to the internet?" (I recall that he offered to do that for her; correct me if I'm wrong!)

MelODrama and P's relationship gets into the question of whether P is truly RB; and I would suggest that you add "Is Rachel Blake really Persephone?" as another loose end.

This thread is a great idea, by the way!

As others have no doubt already mentioned, several questions are raised with the posting of Rachel Blake's new video as well as the new RoT post. I have compiled a list of them to add to the reference board in hopes that some of them will be resolved. Everyone should have seen the new Rachel Blake video by now, but out of respect of those who haven't, I will use spoiler tags anyway.

From Rachel's blog:
1. Who e-mailed the video (with instructions) to Mel0drama?
2. Was it Rachel who posted the username/password to her blog?
3. If not, was it Mel0drama? He stated he would take matters into his own hands in one hour at 6:06 PM -- but the video was posted at 6:01 PM.

From the video:

I think she was saying Gidget Girl, Darla, was a good person. (If we were to put grammer to what she was saying.)

She was letting us know that Gidget Girl was Darla.

I've updated the list, but I haven't included everything Matt brought up because I think some deserve further debate:

[Wulfgirl]

I think the Powers that Be (TPTB) wanted us to be confused about what Rachel was saying.

1. Either it's "Gigetgirl/Darla was a good person" (same as "GigetGirl, Darla, was a good person").

2. or it's, "GigetGirl, Darla was a good person".

In the first case she's telling us that GigetGirl=Darla and is now dead. In the second case she's telling us that Darla is dead, but GigetGirl is still alive. Looking at the evidence to see which scenario is more likely, what do we find?

1. Darla's voice on the Hanso voicemail message sounds Scottish, but the woman on Rachel's phone message does not sound Scottish. This could mean they are different people or it could be a mistake by TPTB. (BTW, what about the woman on the Sanremo audio, the one who sounds like DJ Dan's Tanya? Someone should compare all 4 of these voices to help us determine who is who.)

2. Rachel had photos of Hugh with Darla. (The report of the accident said the woman's name was Darla Tapp and she worked for the Global Wellfare Consortium.) The pictures of this woman looked similar to the picture of the woman in the accident, but I don't think there's a consensus yet as to whether they are the same woman. If they aren't the same woman, this might mean that Darla faked her death, but I doubt the Paris police would've fallen for that trick.

3. Rachel asks GigetGirl how she will recognize her when she meets her in Paris. (If she knew Darla was GigetGirl and had already posted pics of her, she should already know what she looks like.) GigetGirl says Rachel will recogize her. Did Rachel know GigetGirl was Darla?

4. If GigetGirl was Darla, then it makes sense that she'd want those photos taken down. She wouldn't have wanted photos up that show she was having an affair with a married man and she might have been scared that the Hanso folks would come after her, if they knew she was leaking information about them and helping Rachel.

If we can determine whether Rachel believed that GigetGirl and Darla were the same person, then we can determine how to interpret her statement mentioned above. (Forgive me if this is just regurgitating stuff we already know. I'm trying to clarify the issues in my own head.)

p.s.

After watching the video a few more times, I think we are supposed to believe that Darla was GigetGirl and she's now dead.

Another question from Act 1:

Darla mentioned on the phone line: "Hugh, we have to speak about this Sri Lanka thing. It's just not right"

What was she referring to? Did Darla make Rachel privy to what this meant?

I don't know if this falls under the category of Loose Ends, but I'd like to know where parts #8 and #9 of Gary Troup's interview are.

Also:

Where is Liddy Wales?

Dick Cheever? (the real in-game one)

Why is there no link to Jacob Vanderfield's directory on lycgy.com/usr/?

What is wrong with Alvar Hanso's blood? and does this relate to Mel0drama's Dr. Hackett?

What was in the missing_organs.zip file?

Why does Mittelwerk walk with a limp and smell like pine trees? And for god's sake, what's up with that hair?
