[SPEC] 7-27-07 vs. 1-18-08?

I realize all the game activity is most likely happening b/c of Comic Con, but I can't help wondering if there's significance in the date?

Maybe we can predict when activity will happen once the time line is fleshed out? Perhaps a algorithmic pattern can be found?

1-18-08
7-27-07

Maybe the next will be like...

8-06-07...?

Like 1st # +1, 2nd # +9, 3rd # +0?

Just thinking outloud...

Possibly. But I really don't understand why we're getting myspaces of people who die like 6 months from now.. it's confusing and I'm really not that bright. haha

7/3 - trailer
7/6 - 1st photo
7/12 - 2nd photo
7/20 - 3rd photo

-- then the 4th photo,

7/27 - 5th + all the slusho and myspace -

there's a pattern, (other than a weeks time) not sure how it fits into 1-18-08 though

maybe we could predict the next drop, like today

****
JON897 - the (meta) myspace pages are set up in real time- today. Rob and the kids are over in New York now drinking- having a great time.

but in January it'll be a different story. enjoy the new millenium's way of developing characters.

OK...

D1 = 3
D2 = 6
D3 = 12
D4 = 20
D5 = 27

So...

D1
D2 + 3
D3 + 6
D4 + 8
D5 + 7

Or...

D1
D2 = D1 * 2
D3 = D2 * 2
D4 = D3 * 1.75
D5 = D4 * 1.35

See what I mean?

yeah- ok. i think there's a date missing or that's off-

are we looking too deep into a weekly pattern?

I think there's something here that's jointed with 11808 - oh-

70307
70607
71207
72007
72707

maybe rather than a prediction, we could unlock something else.

we're missing a date- 7/3 is when the transformers came out.

I'm more interested in 8/17 or 8/18. Something has got to be planed for the 17th and 18th for each month.

I'm by no means claiming my interpretation to be meaningful or accurate, I'm just trying to point out other ways of analyzing what we have to work with.

To me, the repetition and symmetry of the numbers is very curious.

I agree completely on the symmetry. it's why I'm hooked; this was done for a reason.

what about the time stamps (minus the 1-18-08 ) on the photos, matched up with the dates they were posted?

what exactly could this lead to?

Some earlier posts thinking along this line identified 7/2 as the first date the picture went live on 1-18-08.com. Not sure if that changes your math.

Just a silly thought -- could the Japan link mean anything? Perhaps we should consider the posting date converted to the date it would be if we were in Japan. Japan is ahead of us, so the series becomes:

7/4
7/7
7/13
7/21
7/28

I dunno... just a thought?

that's a good idea - however, we're in new york with the pictures. unless of course your refering to the PM's who're in japan. (we're breaking the 8th commandment guys)

I'm not sure what kind of math this would be, or if maybe we could get some type of code out of the days.

you two are looney.

i think this has all been hashed out a lot, and i know there are some discrepancies with the dates (esp the first one). but still, i guess the 7/27 date adds new data and i'm glad SOMEONE's going over it. just not me. Embarassed

OK, spreadsheet #2 for pix times/dates:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pl6WNAbRx27JE-vHMg7zNeg

Let me know if there's any wrong, or give me an email and you can edit it yourself.
