I mean no offense when I say this, only constructive criticism, but I am having a REALLY difficult time understanding some of your posts. Try slowing down and working through your thought process. With ARG's, its easy to get confused with all the information presented in the first place. Some punctuation and spelling correction would be helpful as well.

Again, I dont mean to be rude in this post, just trying to help out a fellow community member.


Sorry I'm A good speller & all but I usually write short hand because of all the I/m i do. & when I posted those I was really trying to find someone who could give me tips on what to look for. i found someone, so I wont be throwing as much random thoughts up there. in my previous posts there were alot of "is this anything" Sorry about that.

No need to apologize, its cool Smile Sometimes my posts turn out that way if I find a clue and I get really excited. I'm thinking, "Man! I need to get this posted FAST!" and I go back later to reread and realize its a bit confusing.

Anyways, I apologize myself, as I started to hijack the thread a little. Smile

To everyone into this oculus ARG....until watching the movie FALLEN, i never heard of ARG, but i got interested in this "game" and found a few interesting coincidences..#1...in the movie that showed on ABC family last night "Fallen" there was a scene where ezekiel first showed up drinking a bottle of liqour, he looked up at a strange spider web and said questioningly "angels, here?" the spider web seemed to have the same writing in it as this "enochian text" (language of angels) now most of the symbols that this girl "Faith Arella" tatoos, is the same symbols.....#2....when the main character Aaron talks to his female portugese friend in the movie for the first time about angels, she shows him a tatoo on her shoulder of an angel covering herself with her wings, alarmingly, this is the same tatoo on miss vix's wbsite (the angel) #3...when you go to that youtube site or whatever it is showing the countdown on oculareffect.com, she mentions that her friend "Ali" told her to go there....could this be short for ALIcia Haefliger????the missing alumni???? maybe its all nonsense, but ive learned reading all of your posts that no clue is too small.......somebody tell me more about this "game as to the fact that im quite lost....thanx......reallylost777

it's all over the board. some liked it, some didn't, some say the books are way better, some say they're not directly linked, most haven't read the books, but generally people seem to have liked the show.

the next 'episode' is in 2007, and until then we'll have this arg, and to find Faith Arella

It's funny how no one really got back to the youtube thing. I think it might have been early promotion to the ARG, but it didn't seem to tie into anything else, and never confirmed.

Yeah, I was disappointed (not incredibly so, because it was ABC Family Ch)... very lame movie that screamed "made for tv". I pretty much couldn't sit through more than 10 minutes of the cheesiness...

Except that you're so very deeply involved in this ARG for it Smile

I have yet to make a judgement, since I don't get ABC Family here, so I missed the show... hoping it'll be on another station I do receive, soon.

SOme guy on oculare effect forums Said he cracked the login for BC!!! He won't say what it is though. His sn is tyty89. & this is what he has said...

finally cracked the password/login.

I'll give you a clue.
The "Right" Foot is acctually a left foot.
There is some significance to this.

Look Closely at the "right" foot. all the other pics look like real tatts, but this one looks like a photoshop masterpiece.

& he's not being vague just cause he won't tell any one (no signifigance there).

So that's what they have said. So I don't know if it has to do with the username the passsword or both.

Oh wait just found this posted from someone else....


it cannot be longer than 15 letters

It's pretty much been determined that he was just lying. If he really did crack the password, don't you think he'd provide some tangible proof, like a screenshot, to show that he wasn't just a pathetic troll?

Besides, I seriously doubt anything found on Vix's site would lead to the username/password on BC. She has no connection to BC other than Faith, and she met Faith after she had the post with the "right" tattoo. It's not as if Vix herself is gonna have a login at BC, so there wouldnt be any passwords regarding her either.

Plus, Faith ran away in 2004 - even before Vix went on the internet. If we are looking for Faith's password, it'll probably have something to do with her interests in 2004 and not what tattoos Vix is inking in 2006.

Well, Community Login could mean that there's only one login and password for the entire school, so it might not have anything to do with Faith Arella specifically at all, but something related to the Bethlehem Conservatory in general.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, Zyphon mentioned this in another thread, but a new entry has been put on Faith's blog and it's a video. Faith doesn't really say anything we don't already know, but it sounds like she plans a lot more updates showing off her work.


Getting to work on analyzing it right away, I can see only two things in the background that strike my interest.

1. Although the artwork behind her looks very talented, none of those sheets strike me as obviously being her famous symbols. There's just standard flowers and animals. The only one that looks at all mysterious is the black and white one in the upper left, but it's certainly not a symbol.

2. The words in the far upper left corner: Most of the sheet is cut off but here's what I see.

.....OVER
.....OF AGE
.....IRED
.....ID
.....TTOO

Maybe just a sign saying we don't give tattoos to kids, but who knows?

edit: split off posts dealing with July 27th update - Rowan

Okay, so I'm new to this and missed the movie, but it looks fairly cool so I was looking into joining in. Am I right in saying that the current puzzle being worked on is the community login of the Bethlehem site, or have I missed something along the way?

As far as I can tell, thats what everyone is gunning for. Also as far as I can tell, no real good clues have been dropped yet as to what it could be, or whever to even look for it. I could be wrong in this matter as well though.

I've been trying different things from the movie, having watched it on the ABC Family site a few hours ago. Nothing worked. Has anyone tried using the name of the "gift" Faith supposedly has as either password or username? I can't remember offhand what it's called, but it starts with synth, I think. Synthaesea or something. Biblical names might also be a good thing to try.

In one blog she describes the condition of Synesthesia, saying it's similar to how she thinks of the symbols she tattoos, but it's unclear if she actually has the condition.

Do the email addresses provided on the Bethlehem site work? I tried sending a letter to admissions, but I got a bounce. I haven't tried the other two yet.
