 		My guess for the meaning of this entire "project" was simply to try to take a Googlewhackblatt and make it as big as possible. That's all that I think it was.

Maybe it was a project for someone's Advertising class or something.

 		I don't think you're catching everything you should be...
Usually, I can count on the ARGers around here to catch *everything*, and find things I would normally consider insanely impossible to find. The cryptography and data mining potential you people demonstrate daily amazes me to no end. But occasionally you miss something that's painfully obvious to me and my pop-culture obsession.

"I'm lovin' it" is the McDonalds slogan played at the very end, when "A CRIBBED OLD YOKE ORGY OWL" is flashed on the screen for about four frames, just enough to ensure that youtube doesn't compress it completely out of existence.

I'm lovin' it => I am loving it => ailing vomit.

This is a fairly well-known anagram in my world, and ironically appropriate given McDonalds' food quality. Now admittedly, I am no anagram master. In fact, to be frank, I suck quite badly at finding them. However.

A CRIBBED OLD YOKE ORGY OWL contains at least the word WORLD. I checked, and it's only got one A, so ADORABLE is not a possiblity, but the cat is dead already anyway, so that's pretty much a lost cause.

A CRIBBED OLD YOKE ORGY OWL - WORLD = A CIBBE OD YKE ORGY OL

So it comes down to this, for me. I don't think it's over. Ending with a clue is just retarded, and PMs tend not to be retarded. I think kansas (or at least somewhere in the US, stateside, "somewhere over the [atlantic]") is a very good idea to look for the next part of this. So if anyone in the USA is not involved in this because it's all over sweden and you feel like there's no meatspace hope for you, get your butt back in here, we might need you after all.

In other news, can anyone else see any words related to the non-game so far in the final clue? "SAVE" isn't in there, no S or V. "ADORABLE" is out, only one A. "CAT" is out, no T. "PACKAGE" is out, no P, only one A. "COLLECT" is out, no T, only one C. Of course the missing letters, then, are SVATP. Maybe that means something.

You have massive data crunching powers, UF, don't give up without using them.

Before the onslaught of GTFO GUEST, I have an account on here, but have been gone so long that I don't even remember my login info, I'm lazy, and posting as guest is easy.

Brilliant! This may just send us on our way. The only thing I'm worried about is that if trinstod is going to (as I suspect they are) continue this, I don't think they will continue it on the trinstod youtube account, so how can we find it? Maybe this last clue can help, if it really isn't over. This thread is now striving on the hopes of people who don't want it to end, so people who are just going to say its over, don't waste your energy, we're still aware that there is an "ending" now.

So, what we have left over:
A CIBBE OD YKE ORGY OL
I can find a few words such as:
-Code
-Be
-Book
-Log
-Big

What else?

Even if it is over, it's still possible that someone else will spontaneously create a new ARG with this one as a seed, and at least give us a good game of it all.

There are quite a few large(r) words that you can make from the remaining letters, including:
Goodbye
Obeyed
Biology
Bedrock
Bribed
Bible
Cooked
Crookedly

The list goes on. The problem is making some sense of it. Visit http://wordsmith.org/anagram/ for a semi-complete list.

 		I think we need to take a chance and have a little faith in Trinstod right now. He wants to sort out those of us who aren't 100% into this, so let's prove that we are and not just roll over.


First:

Who here lives in the states? More specifically, Kansas?

Let's take baby steps right now and see if we can get back into the swing of this.


(Might as well mention I'm in California with my fingers crossed that it comes my way.)

 		Full anagram list for A CRIBBED OLD YOKE ORGY OWL
The full anagram list is availabe from my server here:

http://pegasus.pimpninjas.org/adorable.txt

Be aware that it is 1.29MB. I'll ZIP/RAR/GZIP/BZIP2 it on request.

Also be aware that there are 45,455 possible anagram combinations for the entire phrase (by dictionary).

Most of them are nonsense, there are even some fairly nonsense words, like "carboy", but it's the full list anyway, and I'd rather people pull it from me than DDoS wordsmith.com.

 		I personally think it's over but I'd still love to see a wiki on this. Some of you are digging deep into #004 but seem to have forgotten things like the pictures that girl took of the package and the (moving!) cat, not to mention the poem from that DV-tape.

 		Something else that's bugging me...I might have missed this, but I've been following really closely since ~pg 4 so...


Did anybody ever make the connection between the screen shot of #003 that we see in the second video and the actual #003? Was that printout that was labeled as #003 ever identified or pointed out in the third video? I've been looking back at the printout with the yellow tape on it, but I can't make anything out at that quality. Confused

I think we determined that it was a screenshot of the Malmo webcam in #003 (where adorable was) with tape over to mask it.

 		What are you looking for? You now the truth. Deep down inside you do. She told you the truth. Is it that you don't wanna see it, you don't wanna know it, you can't accept it?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Here's the truth there is no master plan, there is no money, no commercial interests..


I am not trinstod or Kariia, but she told you the truth. You just have to accept it. That's life and that is what life is about.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

There is no master plan.
