this thread is heaven for someone who wants to explore, study and experiment with semantics and semiology upon mere mortal human beings.

Well, snarf. Perhaps this will continue on at some point... or else we have just angered the gods of trinstod-mysteria, and will someday find the answer when we don't expect it. Neutral

Okay.....I just got caught up on everything that's happened today,and I have to say I'm almost certain this is over.

It'd be nice if it would keep going,but I think the massive gamejacking (trinidos,anons,etc.) just led to way to much confusion.

It's a damn shame.This was a fun one.

Ah well......on to the next. Very Happy

So much shit.

Look, I might have to give up on this shit.
Trinsod needs to make a video tying the loose ends if it is over, and there needs to be a way to verify what is real and what isn't.

Bravehost is gone now. ...and unfortunately it looks like a total fake.
If you are reading this Trinsod, you need to make sure it's dead and make sure you ARE NOT posting as a guest, anywhere.

From now on I say we disregard anything said by a guest.
A real PM would know how to run the game.

Technically this was never announced as any kind of game, anywhere. Except by people we can presume was not involved in the production, and all they did was guess that it was a game. It wasn't a game, it was a project like she said in the last video.

Regardless of whether the PM considers this a game, the players definitely did. There's a difference between being strung along unwillingly and willingly, after all.

There's something very strange here, and I don't know whether or not to believe if this is really ended or not. There is a possibility that Trinstod posted #004 as a premature ending to shake off people who won't take it seriously, although I am of course seriously considering that it is over and I'm just another one of desperately clutching at straws. I just don't know, though - there are many, many unfinished clues and things which still have not been explained.

Trinstod, if you're reading, post a video tying everything up or at least come out and answer our questions and post something doing these two things in a video on the YouTube account.

Possible leads (both for and against it being over):

1) At the end of #004, we see "credits" listing character names but having blocked out the real names. I'm assuming that this is not the last name of each person and it shows that it is their first name, as the white boxes are both of differing length and of a relatively long length. The character names (in order of appearance) were:
Myke
Ron
Jen
Scott
Heather
Jenny

Why would there be character names if she was going to end it at #004 (as I suspect she was, otherwise the video would have been posted sooner before we spent all that time, under pressure no less because of the time limit T set)?

(Note, these are all fairly American names, and the girl's American accent and speech patterns are/is perfect - unless someone in Sweden literally studied and practiced it for a very long time, I don't see how it's possible to get it this perfect for a foreigner.)

Also in the credits, there are "set designers". What "sets" were they designing, exactly?

2) Of course, the text at the end - "A CRIBBED OLD ORGY OWL". Why lead us on with it if it wasn't going to go on?
(The closest thing I could find relating to this phrase was this site:
http://sdrc.lib.uiowa.edu/lucile/Reviews/LastWords.htm - a poem including the words "cribbed", "owl", "old", but not including "orgy", by Algernon Charles Swinburne, as part of the "LUCILE Project", a project dedicated to "recovering the publishing history from a 19th century book" - Owen Meredith's Lucile, which is a book filled with Meredith's poetry.)

3) Some of the scenes shown during the credits don't make any sense or are linked in strange ways to the supposedly "fake" Trinidos, or in relativity to the project:

a) The Michael Myer's (not the comedian, Michael is the horror icon from Halloween) mask, which is in Trinidos's #004, which came after Trinstod's #004, but Trinstod's was supposedly filmed earlier than Trinidos's.

b) There are no Swedish character names in the credits, even though there is a girl clearly in Malmo putting the package down - and it looks quite a bit like the girl from Trinstod's #004. Now, she may either have moved to Sweden from America, or has relatives in America, but that doesn't explain that there are absolutely no Swedish character names in the credits, as wouldn't her friends be Swedish if she does live there? Even if she had some relatives, you would think she would have at least some Swedish references.

c) The girl walking through the area of Malmo where the package is placed is wearing what looks like a wedding ring, but the girl speaking in #004 is not, and seems a little too young to be married. Again, older relatives, maybe, but the whole thing seems strange.

d) The scene of her searching for "Trinstod" in google brings up 11,300 results, the top two being linked to this thread - obviously not the original footage, as it used to only bring up one result. Why would it be filmed a second time? It was never used in any of the videos.

e) The music is almost always relevant in these movies. The song playing in the background has lyrics that lead us to believe that the whole thing is over, however there is some small suggestion in the lyrics that suggest also that it is not.

f) The song during the credits is a cheesy "punk" version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", more leading you to believe it's over, and at the very very end we can hear the "I'm Lovin' It" McDonalds theme song. (Note that McDonalds is not evidence of it being in America, as McDonalds are quite plentiful all over the world).

g) The girl's room does look rather like an American bedroom, however bedrooms are about the same in all European countries and similar to Canadian and American bedrooms, so this we can't be sure of.

Hmmm.

Guys, lets just let it be. If Trinstod really wanted the credit or to redeem themselves for this debacle they will come forth. Otherwise, it's a sloppy mess that was left for us to clean and ponder. Hopefully, things will eventually come to light. If this was just an experiment, the results should have been conclusive and made known to the public. If this was chaotic fiction turned sour, the PM should have dignity and at least explain what went wrong.

Whoever or whatever: It could have been oh so much more.

Pictures in #004??

Hi everyone, I've been lurking on this one since the start and like everyone else, I find it sad to see this end like this.

One thing I've noticed however that no one else seems to is that int he final shot in #004 where she's removing her top there's two pictures of people visible on the dresser on the left... has anyone been able to zoom or enhance to see what they look like?

More thoughts on the project too. Maybe they were trying to see or show how fast a viral campaign can grow on the internet. This would support the fact that they took a phrase "trinstod" which had one hit in Google for at least a year, then three weeks later it's up to over 11k+ hits just because of posting a weird video on youtube!!! I think some companies would kill (adorable cats) for free publicity like that...

I'd say trying to identify them based on that moves out of playing a game and into creepy, but hey.
