 		Shocked it was so....so overly simple. Good job Nicole.

Obviously his conscience is a reference to the Jiminey Cricket in his pocket from the video.

So if translated is the right word, and the answer is in English, what can we translate INTO English?

The investigation has been leaked. I think Deercot broke into my computer remotely. That's their best guess. I got sloppy with my emails and I feel terrible. I don't know what this means for Eric but I fear the worst. They told me to deny everything and try to do damage control. I think they're gonna bring in an "expert" soon, dunno what that means as of yet...but obviously we underestimated this guy again. I agree it's time to get proactive. I wanna hurt this asshole."

Follow my conscience to the end...

Oh my god..lol I tried CITY OF ANGELS, ANGEL, ANGELS

"Follow my conscience till the end..."

his M.O. as of late has been to post clues for the PW at the end of the hidden files, so apparently this is our first clue to find the last picture... any ideas anyone?

 		I spelled Jiminy cricket by the way. It is JIMINY and not JIMINEY. Just for those who try to look it by using my post.

 		A Quote from Pinochio, regarding conscience, and Jiminy Cricket:

Quote:
Blue Fairy: "You must learn to choose between right and wrong."
Pinocchio: "How will I know?"
Blue Fairy: "Your conscience."
Pinocchio: "What’s conscience?"
Jiminy Cricket: "Conscience is that still, small voice that people won’t listen to. That’s just the trouble with the world today."
Blue Fairy (to Jiminy Cricket, kneeling before her): "I dub you Pinocchio’s Conscience; Lord High Keeper of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong; Counselor in Moments of Temptation and Guide along the Straight and Narrow Path."

That last line is what I am most interested in...

"I dub you Pinocchio’s Conscience; Lord High Keeper of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong; Counselor in Moments of Temptation and Guide along the Straight and Narrow Path"


TDC once told us: You will need to choose a path (or something like that), Jiminy Cricket is to be the guide for this Path... therefore Tom considers himself akin to Jiminy Cricket, in the respect that he considers himself to be our guide and counselor for the path to catching Sam.

This may not relate directly, but its an interesting read nonetheless. Its an article exploring the human conscience in relation to Pinochio, and how that movie portrays it. Check it out, it may contain something that will put us on the right track..

 		I have tried Jiminy Cricket, Cricket, conscience, followmyconscience, followmyconsciencetotheend, follow Jiminy Cricket, follow the cricket, and several rots of those phrases on flickr and blogger. I may have missed some though.

I could be wrong, but Im checking out what happened to Jiminy at the end of Pinochio.. TDC told us to follow him to the end.. the end of the movie? I guess we'll see..

 		He said the LA pic was 2nd to last, so I'm assuming he means follow him to the end of the trail.

I would have thought so too, if he had said "follow me" instead of writing "Follow my conscience..".. I dont want to rule out this statement being a clue.

I think we should take a look at the name of the file as well. Although self explanitory, we should never take for granted the fact that It could contain a double meaning...

"Follow my conscience to the end..."

 		Sorry I haven't been as involved as you guys, although I have been checking in. Mid-terms coming up, and a ton of projects these next two weeks are due. Anyway, the Pinocchio quote caught my eye because of this (again, getting to flex my Biblical knowledge Smile).

Quote:
Jiminy Cricket: "Conscience is that still, small voice that people won't listen to. That's just the trouble with the world today."


In 1 Kings 19, Elijah is fed up with being, seemingly, the only person in Israel seeking God's glory. So, God takes him up on a mountain, sends a lot of noise (a fire, an earthquake, and a strong wind), but God does not speak to him in all the turmoil. Instead, after all of that, God speaks to Elijah in a still, small voice (v. 12).

Don't know if that will help, but that's what popped into my mind when I read that.

 		A bit of extra info from Wikipedia:

"Jiminy Cricket!" or "Jiminy Crickets!" was originally a polite expletive euphemism for Jesus Christ. The name of the character is a play on the exclamation. Another way to say this is "Jiminy Christmas!", "Jeeminy Christmas", or "Jiminy Crispus".

& don't for get "When You Wish Upon a Star"

 		All I can say is wow.. just..wow.. I found a website that had people telling the ORIGINAL stories of classic disney movies (snow white, pinochio, etc)..

check out what someone wrote for the Original Version of Pinochio:

Quote:
"Disneykid Wrote:

Pinocchio is one of the strangest stories I've ever read. First off Jiminy (who is unnamed in the book) doesn't die. He gets smashed by a hammer and Pinoc thinks he's dead, but he later appears toward the end. After Gepetto made Pinocchio, Pinocchio ripped off Gepetto's wig, kicked him in knee, and ran down the street naked. When the police saw Gepetto chasing Pinoc, thhey thought he was trying to molest him (?!) and they arrested him. Gepetto managed to escape jail and climbed in through the window of his house. Pinocchio is so mean in that book you want to kill him. Gideon and Foulfellow hang Pinocchio. They try to rob him of his money, so Pinoc sticks the money in his mouth and says he doesn't have any, so he gets hanged. The Blue Fairy later saves him because he was hanged in front of her house. Then to punish him she pretends to be dead and even makes a tombstone for herself and then Pinocchio goes hysterical.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the part where Pinocchio is thrown in prison for 3 months. Very Happy And another thing-after the whole traumatic Pleasure Island experience, Pinocchio completely turns into a donkey. He is bought by a cruel ringmaster who whips him constantly. Pinocchio loses so much blood that he's near death and can no longer perform, so the ringmaster throws him into the ocean, where the fish eat away the donkey skin and Pinocchio is normal.

Thats the link if anyone is interested.. this most likely doesnt relate to our problem currently, but I just thought Id throw that out there...

As for our puzzle:

The 8 of spades had the title: This is only the beginning

and now the clue is: Follow my conscience to the end...

References to the beginning and the end caught my eye, I just thought id throw that out there..

one more thing - notice the wording of the latest clue.. he says "to the end" instead of the more colloquial phrase "until the end".. the word "to" makes me think there is an actual place we should be looking for...

Yeah, its like all the other ones, we're looking for a flickr or blogger page. I think maybe blogger since it started there, makes sense it would end there.

Of course I cant be positive, but I am like 98% sure.

 		really i think it has to have something to do with Pinochio because TDC wouldnt have put such emphasis on Jiminy Cricket if he wasnt going to be some sort of clue. unless im wrong, so far nothing has really related to it. btw i tried all rots of Monstro (the whale) and Paradise Island on flickr (my reasoning is that those are the two last places that Jiminy follows Pinochio to as far as i can remember). didnt try on blogger yet cause bordom got the best of me so if someone wants to try, then it will probably end up being a dead end.
