ok cool. (although the fact the /b/ readers tracked down the kid with the guns on 9/11/07, was UBER-cool) i think i'll take your advice and stick around UF... (much to the UF's chagrin!)


anyway, about trinstod...... i just think there's more to this than googlewhacks.. at least i hope there is.

lux, sometimes they're worse.. ;-D kidding.. they're all different! that's the weird thing... if the game itself isnt different enough, the players make it that way!!

I do think the arrows in #002 are for camera direction. As was stated by someone earlier, it would be hard to pick out which posts to zoom in on without direction.


Having watched it over again I would have to agree. Where previously I thought it was more of a timing thing, in light of this thought, it seems the pauses are where the camera operator brings his/her head back from the camera to look for the next post to zoom in on, and then proceeds to focus on it, pull back, check for next post etc... and we do seem to follow the green lines more or less.

When i saw it, i noticed the arrows actually went from post to post, i assumed it meant they were corrolated in some way.

googlewhacks

earlier someone said that TRINSTOD was a kind of techy acronym that had something to do with Start Time, that being the ST in trinSTod.

someone else said we were likely meant to be searching out another googlewhack.

TRINETOD (End Time) is a googlewhack, and google tries to say "Did you mean: TRINITY"

connect that to the post about the three people going to kidnap that poster on the "dream about google" first result, and the fact that that guy has three cats...

three seems to come up a lot in this possible ARG, is it a coincidence?

I had noticed the trinity thing before, it seems to just be a coincidence. So one can only assume at this point. After all he hasn't given us anything, most ARG's cross platforms right? I mean its not just through videos on youtube that you get info. right? So right now I can we are just stuck waiting till he posts again. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, about New Scientist magazine looking for one word googlewhacks, (which are called googlewhackblatts, for some godforsaken reason) I think maybe, just maybe , they might have mentioned trinstod, just an idea. I believe that trinstod is from Sweden as well. But the question really is, why Trinidad and Tobago, it might be a clue.


If you go to the Googlewhack website www.googlewhack.com you will notice that some of the googlewhacks use the FAQ and hack to complete a sentence, just something interesting, maybe something in one of those might say something about a package or a cat or saving the planet. Just a thought.

Thats the thing, what exactly IS googlewhack? Ive never actually used it before, and the website is confusing as hell.

Probably nothing, but if you put the first letter of each word in 'I had a dream about google' ihadag, and do a google search for it, you get one result.

The site is in Chinese and I don't think theres anything on it, but maybe the fact you get only one result is something....maybe not, I don't know how hard it is to find random letters that only get one search result.

Ok, when I try to go to www.googlewhack.com it is a mirror of www.wtgrain.org


Anyone else getting this?

Yep, I'm getting that too. Maybe it's a clue... try searching the website for references to saving cats or packages or something.

Well I haven't seen much about cats or packages, but www.wtgrain.org definitely falls under the category of "Save Planet."

Well the redirect seems to have stopped happening, at least it seems to have done for me...

Long enough for 'us' to notice it, get the wtgrain address and return to its original form methinks?

I honestly am feeling that Google, yahoo, you tube and Jeremy Zawodny are part of this...

NB: From the WTG site:

We are completing this site from existing draft sources.
If it doesn't address your question, e-mail wtgSPLATwtgrain.org.
We may have a relevant draft, and can address your needs first.

I'm not sure this is connected. wtgrain.org is indeed owned by Gary Stock, but it seems to be really old, and was even cited as a resource by pbs on the page for a documentary made in 2003.

Seems like we may be over thinking? I just started reading this today.

I don't think anyone has recognized the #003 purple like image yet?

Something is being censored, or pointed out. Looks like an I L to me.
