Since that google urchin code was found on both the slusho and 1-18-08 sites, would it be right to use that as a defining characteristic for any other possible rumored in-game sites?

I don't think it would be out of the question to have them read something like this and switch stat apps so people couldn't so easily tell.

 		Clutching at straws here. The little fish that has the cheese thought bubble may actually be a whale. I was searching for whale cheese, cheese whale, and misspelt whale as wale. I realized that there is a cheese-toast type thing called Welsh Rarebit. On wikipedia, it mentions that there is a myth that people who eat Welsh Rarebit get nightmares. This myth was portrayed in the Little Nemo comic series in 1904, as well as in a 1919 special effects film called "As the Clouds Roll By"

I am almost certain it is a whale because of the under pattern. That is undeniably a whale.

 		stop focusing on the misleading websites
I've been researching more on this crazy Albert Pike figure and I found out some interesting tidbits. We know he was Free mason and was a satanist, but I bet you didn't know he wrote a book in which he predicted three world wars. http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=1086


listen to this,

"The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the "agentur" (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions."

"The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm."

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."
Could this game stretch that far? Or is this just a weird coincidence. Either way this is a weird conspiracy theory.

 		I dunno if anyone's considered this but it could be an explanation for the way the times don't match, and all the odd coincidences.

What if the blog has absolutely nothing to do with slusho...

But slusho has absolutely everything to do with the blog?

What if little things like that were stuck in TO direct you to, perhaps, the blog, where the random things were formed from?

We did say the site was angled towards kids, but what if it was also angled FROM kids?

What if there are other kid related sites with cameos in slusho, that have some common denominator to figure out?

Once again, it IS JJ Abrams.

Also, Albert Pike: Creeeeeppyyyy.


Edit: Sorry, Clover's blog.

It wouldn't be if this is your only piece of evidence. The tracker is used by scores of sites - they aren't all related just because they use this tracker. Usually, a designer/admin will use a certain tracker and stick with it if it works...so the question only works from the inside out, not the outside in. It's also not set in stone. One tracker might not be as useful or needed as it would be for another site by the same owner.

There is more that links slusho directly to 1-18...the same tracker is more along the lines of strong circumstantial evidence to support that both are related. If the tracker was all we had, the answer would be no.

Regarding the clover blog and a few others, you guys are missing something called a valid connection. I mean they aren't feeding us arbitrary stuff here. Yeah cloverblog is definitely curious until you really read it and then it's clear that it's not an arg OR tied to any of this...there are simply some associations to be made...but that doesn't make them connected at all. So when you find something that makes use of donkey mittens, and there's actually something out there, first remember, it's the internet....and chances are there's gonna be something out there focused on anything you can come up with.

Second, and more important, it's not JUST slusho you're applying the connection/association to. It's also 1-18...which based on what we were presented in the trailer wouldn't have anything even remotely to do with a scrapbook blog no matter how many times BOTH sites had sushi.

As for the year of the rat thing....wrong again. That's chinese astrology, which has ZERO NADA relation, or association to JAPANESE ICEES.

Neither slusho nor 1-18 has anything remotely to do with Albert Pike. That association with Pike is a definitely valid link between sectorseven (transformers) and 1-18....the whois on both those suggest NOT a masonic tie between games but that there is a confirmation of sorts that 1-18 is LIKE s7 in an argish manner. Same people are obviously behind BOTH S7 and 1-18, and that would also clear up how 1-18 nameless movie trailer got shown immediately before transformers begins.

Beyond that, Pike wouldn't have any real relevance to 1-18 if it wasn't already also used in S7 somewhere and to my knowledge it wasn't.

If you want to find legitimate connections, stop grasping for straws and look at Abrams pattern so far:

Albert Pike: S7 (arg)
Slusho: Alias
Satoshi: find Satoshi (perplexcity arg)

Look for the nods to argishness going on here....

 		clover blog
can we please kill the possiblity of that clover blog being any way related to the movie. stop bringing it up! dead end!


the most promising new lead that i found that was mentioned in a link a few pages back was this:


Additionally, the Slusho website reports that Noriko is survived by her son. This may not be all that important, but what is important is that Scramble Network reports that just yesterday a Matisse painting was posted on what is called Noriko Yoshida's Web Page at Kobe University.



The painting's title can be translated as "The Beasts of the Sea." This is interesting as well. It is also interesting that the Japanese URL has NY NY contained in the domain. JJ Abrams and the Paramount Cloverfield team are really throwing us for a loop!

either some japanese school girl is toying with our heads or this is something to keep an eye on. below is the link to "norika's" web page.
