Perhaps. I dropped the kidnapped's full name on R.F. to see if he recognizes it.
I don't know if it's in game, but the Wyoming incident involved what was probably a fake obituary, so I wouldn't rule it out entirely.

Also, R.F.'s own dream seems to be pretty integral to what's going on.

What to think about this new post with his dream? A blue sketched boy and his wife is oozing gook. Something is way wrong here. I'm begining to think that RF might have been an unwitting subject of a different experiment in some way. So far, we have all seen and know most of the same things he does about this experiment, yet none of us (that we know of) are experiencing the same hallucinations. To suffer PTSD, you have to go through something horrific. I wouldn't call the video or any of these recollections of his horrific, so there's something else we're missing right now. Perhaps they did something to him and some of the other "scientists" and then released them to observe the effects of what they had done by "cancelling the project".

I think the Center for Missing Children thing is a step in the wrong direction. I sincerely doubt that its in game and if it is, it shows either bad taste or poor judgement. People take missing children extremely seriously and to base a game around a real organization is only going to get someone in trouble. I would ignore it at all costs, but that's just my opinion.

PS Bubasture, please change your av. That is annoyingly big.

Also wondering two things about the truck:

1. If the subject's dream where he is driving in the "car" may have been the same truck?

2. If R.F. has checked glovebox, tirewell, etc. for info about ownership or any notes.

...also agree the missing kids site would be poor taste to use, but seems worth a shot.

Yeah, I got that, too.
The twitchy head effect (like the end of the video) was pretty much invented by that movie, I'd like to add.
I'd also like to add that the game series, Silent Hill, is inspired directly by Jacob's Ladder, and the fifth installment has just been announced in this year's E3.
Could this be a Silent Hill 5 ARG?

Until RF speficially calls out a website for us to look at, I would stick to only using the clues given on the blog. Running off looking at random sites found with Google has a high percentage chance of being a red herring. This isn't to say a site explaining PTSD to someone who doesn't know what it is or something of that nature doesn't have some meta reference value. But if you're in to playing the odds, only using what is given never lets you down.

The method that the PM seems to prefer is to have us hammer him with 20 questions. I think this is where we should focus our energy instead of going around the PM and researching on our own.

According to some posts online, Dermot Faulkner Kelly was one of the first 75 children listed with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. He is a real missing person. Dermot Faulkner Kelly disappeared from Ogelsby, Il on January 30, 1972. The connection to Illinois, the year, and the age is remarkably close to what RF tells us about the subject's friend.

Not to mention his first name and what his last name starts with.
If the page is OOG, I'm guessing that this missing person was probably an inspiration, while not actually IG.
I'm actually considering trashing my query to R.F.....

Keep in mind that if this is being done by Bambos, a real person might have been chosen to be included in the storyline just to add realism.

Real people both famous and ordinary were featured more than once in WI. He even used the dead mayor of Lusk, Wyoming as an antagonist.

Also keep in mind that if this is being done by Bambos, I'm out.
That guy's.... evil....
Ah, who am I kidding? I'm SO in this.

[Uberg33k]

[Chronus_Valtiel]

That sounds about like Bambos, to me.
Of course I wouldn't get angry until R.F. says it is this missing person (I asked him, so it should be confirmed/denied tomorrow at the earliest).
