[UPDATE] Identifying images in the third video

I started looking for the sources of the images in the third Warning video, and have found two of them so far.

The first one, showing two men in a room with shelves on the wall and lots of bottles on the shelves, is from Hortus Sanitatis ("The Origin of Health"), a medieval treatise on herbalism. All the jars appear to be labeled with heraldic devices (like coats of arms); the one that the man on the right is pointing to has a bend sinister on it. AngBa noted that the bend sinister sometimes denotes bastardy.

I haven't yet found a source for the second image (the one depicting a man and a woman cutting up a dead body).

The third one, here, is described on its webpage as "Girl and the demon. Engraving from 1498." No other information beyond that.

Still looking for the others.

That's much clearer than on the video, and that demon definitely has a glint in his eye. I don't think I'm chancing my arm much in saying that they have been... ahem... 'consorting'.

EDIT:

On the subject of videos: the sound on the 'Supernatural' video posted by Jochen is delayed by a second or two, so whatever is said at the end by the character lying in the hospital bed is cut short. Considering that the pair are discussing a disappearance, could there be a clue in what is missing from the clip

I doubt there is a clue - I think he was just being 'snarky' by filming a bit of the show that I wanted to watch...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
He must have sensed how much I loved John Winchester and that he was going to die in that episode, he was just torturing me Very Happy

Video Comments

Rather than start a new thread I thought this may as well go in here. When I was checking the Dr's YouTube page yesterday I noticed a comment on the Witch Video that says "they cant erase what you owe us". Any thoughts?

Well, to keep in form with the flow so far... I did talk to the Dr. earlier - basically just making sure he was ok, I'm supposed to talk with him later. I just thought I should post what I have so far.

Quote:
[17:32] theangrybanana: DR! Are you ok? I got a message from Sarah that you were in the hospital!
[17:32] docjpjr: Yes I just got in. I'm ok.
[17:33] theangrybanana: How are you? What happened? I've been worried sick!
[17:34] docjpjr: It was exhaustion. I got dizzy and passed out. Sarah found me and made me go to the hospital.
[17:34] docjpjr: It is not too bad.
[17:34] theangrybanana: That's what I was afraid of... I'm glad she went to your apartment - I told her to if she didn't hear from you
[17:35] docjpjr: She is very persistent
[17:35] theangrybanana: good thing!
[17:35] theangrybanana: I had feared the worst
[17:35] docjpjr: How are you?
[17:36] theangrybanana: Better now that I know you are ok...
[17:36] theangrybanana: no more long walks and no sleep - that's from Tips
[17:36] theangrybanana: were you able to get some rest finally?
[17:36] docjpjr: We will ee
[17:36] docjpjr: drr
[17:36] docjpjr: see
[17:36] docjpjr: I am not typing so well
[17:36] theangrybanana: hehehehe
[17:37] theangrybanana: it is ok, I understand
[17:38] theangrybanana: I am sure that there are a lot of people wanting to know how you are!
[17:38] docjpjr: Yes I am getting many messages
[17:38] docjpjr: Did you go on more bad dates while I was sleeping on my floor?
[17:39] theangrybanana: no, I was here waiting to make sure you were ok Smile
[17:40] docjpjr: I need to get your material to Sarah still
[17:40] docjpjr: I am sorry. I will try to do it in the morning if she will help me.
[17:41] docjpjr: look i am like oprah http://www.irishexaminer.com/breaking/story.asp?j=12877240&p=yz877z86&n=12877328&x=
[17:42] theangrybanana: HAHAHAHA!!!
[17:42] theangrybanana: And it is understandable about the packages - you were ill
[17:43] *** "docjpjr" signed off at Fri Oct 06 17:43:59 2006.
[17:44] docjpjr: Are you going out tonight?
[17:44] theangrybanana: no, i never go out Smile
[17:45] docjpjr: Why not?
[17:45] theangrybanana: well, tonight I have my daughter - as with every Friday night
[17:45] docjpjr: That is a good reason
[17:45] theangrybanana: yes... how about you - rested enough to party it up?
[17:45] docjpjr: No no
[17:46] docjpjr: I have been in bed for 24 hours but I am still tired
[17:48] theangrybanana: well, you need to rest
[17:48] docjpjr: I asked the nurse "Can I message banana" and they thought I was a crazy person
[17:49] theangrybanana: Smile I was very worried about you,
[17:49] docjpjr: Yes I thought you might be
[17:49] docjpjr: Sarah said she sent you a message
[17:49] docjpjr: did she?
[17:49] theangrybanana: Sarah emailed me yesterday telling me she couldnt't reach you
[17:49] theangrybanana: GMTA
[17:49] theangrybanana: and couldn't*
[17:49] docjpjr: GMTA?
[17:50] theangrybanana: Great Minds Think Alike
[17:50] docjpjr: Ah
[17:50] theangrybanana: well, you make sure you follow all of the Doctor's orders!
[17:50] docjpjr: He was not so smart I think. He said sleep and drink gatorade.
[17:51] theangrybanana: gatorade is good - it will replace your electrolytes
[17:51] theangrybanana: to keep you hydrated
[17:51] docjpjr: Yes but it won't make dreams stop
[17:52] theangrybanana: were you able to rest in the hospital... i fear that this is going to get worse before it gets better, and I don't want to be worried about you like this again
[17:52] docjpjr: I think tonight maybe some wine instead. Maybe two bottles sounds good
[17:52] theangrybanana: That's a lot of wine... you don't need alcohol poisioning on top of exhaustion
[17:53] docjpjr: Yes I am a big boy banana I will be ok
[17:53] theangrybanana: I want you to be careful!
[17:54] theangrybanana: but i can keep you company if you'd like
[17:55] docjpjr: Yes. I think that would be good. I am going to get some thai food and some wine later. I am going to relax. You can keep me company
[17:55] theangrybanana: That sounds like a plan - I missed my Supernatural buddy last night!
[17:55] docjpjr: What happened?
[17:56] theangrybanana: I was here by myself and it was about CLOWNS!!! I HATE CLOWNS!!!!!
[17:57] docjpjr: Clowns are very frightening
[17:59] docjpjr: Banana please tell James if you see him that I missed his message but I will arrange with him later ok?
[17:59] theangrybanana: I am scared of clowns and bats
[17:59] theangrybanana: and I will ctell James, we are talking now
[17:59] theangrybanana: tell*
[17:59] theangrybanana: I can't type either
[18:00] docjpjr: A clown bat would be very very frightening
[18:00] theangrybanana: ACK!!! now I will have nightmares!!!
[18:01] docjpjr: With little red noses!
[18:01] theangrybanana: NOOOOO!!!!!
[18:01] theangrybanana: Smile
[18:03] docjpjr: I am going to go take a shower and do some things before I get dinner and wine ok? Maybe talk to you in an hour or two?
[18:04] theangrybanana: That sounds good - I will be here, I'm glad you are ok!
[18:04] docjpjr: Thank you

Its either someone who's been following the story, or its a new character. I'm inclined to think the first (because I was born skeptical!) since the comment directly references the theory I was putting around after the Roman coin appeared: that AV was seeking to recover some kind of debt.

Skeptical enough not to believe I was right...

The guy who posted the comment is subscribed to angry's videos.(Cute kittens BTW ^_^) Yeah just thought I would point that out. Makes me believe he is a character because if it was just some person I doubt they would know about angry.

Well, after he made that post Ang subscribed to his page in order to keep an eye on him in case he is in game. I was not aware of this when I made the post above. So it is possible that he has just subscribed to Ang's page because she subscribed to his.

i made that comment to the docs video.

i even took a image that was posted here and edited it and sent it back to the doc on his youtube.

banana you know what i mean.

---long silence on my part, its rough knowing you f'ed up




i know what its like now. i was a random person watching brookers a couple months ago as my first youtube experience. hard not to, i just clicked most this or that. saw lg in the process in the beginning, and i didnt think much about it, but i saw the comments grow on the speculation if it was real or not. them bam cassie started. then bam lg was outed. then bam a few unfictioners were picking up on cassie stuff.

until now the most ive ever done was play asherons call, an aging mmorpg. and read the forums associated. a jading experience if you knew the state of it all.

so now, i had all these new outlets, refering to things i really had no idea about. things i started learning about, people who were assembling interactive fantasies, stories.

i got excited, probably too excited when i first ran across an account of AV, before many people had seen his first three videos. you can go back and see one of my comments how i thought there was reversed audio in his second warning, i just knew i was onto something. but i watched and learned, listened to people who have been there before me. (someone noted they had the original recording of that little girl singing the song and i began realizing i had alot to learn)

but i had made a move that i thought would be 'cool'
and at the time i knew i wouldnt be able to back it up but i did it anyway

i took his cat picture, which at the time i even posted here as thinking i could see a face in the reflection in the cats eye, modified it, and sent it back to him. i didnt want to try to add to the story, or be apart of it, i just wanted to do something that made me feel like i could get a rise out of the pm's.

i didnt know then what ive learned since
i apologize for acting a fool

im sorry guys

It's cool. Gamejacking is a somewhat serious thing, but fessing up keeps too many people for spending too much time on it. Good call on your part. Go froth and do not sin again, or whatever.

Of course, since this is a fairly small and flexible game, your comment may be the cause of a slight plot change. It would be amusing if your offhand comment precipated the first appearance of AV operatives! If Sarah or the Doc comment on it, give yourself a fishstick, your gamejack got integrated. (Note: This wouldn't actually mean that you were now running AV - just that the PM's decided to follow that particular direction for the game.)

Gamejacking is occasionally ok. If you read around here you'll hear about Metacortechs, a Matix-based fanrun ARG that was put on by some of the big names on the board a couple years back. After a few domain names lapsed, a group of metacortechs fans jacked the entire game, crafted a few new puzzles, and sent emails to the original PM's from their characters. It remains as one of the coolest thank-you's in ARG history.

--
Speaking of Thank-yous, I picked up something at the pharmacy the other day that will make a great thankyou to the PM's. I am acquiring tools to refine it, but will post a picture here when I get it complete and send off an OOG email to the Doc's address.

BrandoBlues, i am utterly impressed by your comment. All's forgiven, no big deal. I see so few people take responsibility for their own actions that when someone actually takes responsibility, it becomes commendable.

It is indeed one of the coolest thank-yous in ARG history Smile , but it was not a gamejack.

The game was over when the players did it, and as they sent the communications from the characters to the PMs, their actions could not be construed as coming from the PMs.

Gamejacking is not okay.
