[Trailhead?]
Brooke Marks/72.167.205.77

Right, so I just found this IP address while surfing around on a paranormal imageboard.

http://72.167.205.77/

Some poking around (read: Googling) indicates that they're videos depicting murders. Namely, the murder of a certain Brooke Marks.

Apparently she posted a video on the website break.com (http://my.break.com/content/view.aspx?ContentID=492992) and a reply to the comment "I think im in love" was "STAY AWAY: or this will happen to u IP ADDRESS 72.167.205.77" by some fellow named IntellTinkerer.

Unfortunately, I haven't watched any of these videos. My bandwidth quota kind of went over the limit, haha.

Sure, it's viral marketing, but could it actually be an ARG?

well considering the IP website isn't actually a file listing but an image of a file listing, I'd say there's a good chance... but there's no hints about a tie-in.

There are videos for 4 people: Tony, Brandon, Carolina, Brooke Marks - in 3 formats MOV, MPG and WMV (haven't downloaded or watched yet either though so don't know if they're the same video in different formats; but unlikely since there are some major file size variations)

Some of these clips are NSFW

Here's a list of all the files from the page source:

http://72.167.205.77/Tony.mov
http://72.167.205.77/Tony.wmv
http://72.167.205.77/Tony.mpg
http://72.167.205.77/Brandon.mov
http://72.167.205.77/Brandon.wmv
http://72.167.205.77/Brandon.mpg
http://72.167.205.77/Carolina.mov
http://72.167.205.77/Carolina.wmv
http://72.167.205.77/Carolina.mpg
http://72.167.205.77/Brooke_Marks.mov
http://72.167.205.77/Brooke_Marks.mpg
http://72.167.205.77/Brooke_Marks.wmv

They're out of order in the source, but when mapped out on the image, it works out ok.

ETA: They look like the movies for each character is the same. just in different formats. I'm checking them all anyway. I'll add transcripts as I go.

The Brandon.wmv has no dialogue. Just a guy (presumably Brandon) in a tub sponging off. He then gets electrocuted. Fast forward to his decomposed body and a guy looms over admiring his handiwork.

The Carolina.wmv also has no dialogue. Carolina is sitting on a couch getting ready to fire up a big ass bong. Then all of a sudden a cloud of smoke which I presume to be an explosion because she is splattered all over the couch and wall. Then there is the same looming figure checking things out. The movie then switches to a blurred figure doing god knows what.

Also, did anyone notice the top of the image says:

ftp://72.167.205.77

I'm not that familiar with ftp. We're using it somewhat in another game. but maybe we're supposed to find other files using it.

I just watched the Carolina video...gross by the way...and after she gets blown up, the blurred figure looks like (s)he is cleaning the blood off the walls with a rag. Really creepy stuff.

Same goes with the brooks mark video. Gets stabbed multiple times on her bed.

THIS VIDEO was posted 2 months ago. Looks like a movie trailer. Brooke Marks talks about a video of her friend Jasmine getting stabbed.

Owner of the video is "Twisted Productions"

ETA: Another freaky video with the killer doing commentary.
http://www.break.com/vlog/brooke-erased.html

When you go to twisted productions page on break.com. all videos are there in order. Man, that's a messed up story. Crazy stuff, but I don't see any game elements here as the whole story is pretty much played out. I got the hint when the credits to the film rolled, lol.

Weren't they the same people trying to do the 'Bookerville' fiasco?

I would point out that the IP address leads to www.e-lebrity.com -- but since the domain is registered and hosted on GoDaddy, you're not gonna get much information beyond that.

If it's hosted at GoDaddy, if you can get to the IP address directly that means the person either ordered a dedicated IP (like I have) or has a virtual server. Either way, you can reasonably sure they have the same owner.

Public GoDaddy sites without a dedicated IP would be unreachable with just the IP address; their virtual hosting doesn't allow it because there isn't a domain in the request header.

BTW, for the record, "e-lebrity.com" has a history in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to early 2007.

Twisted Productions is the production company that makes the Saw franchise. This just seems to be a web series. I don't really think it's going anywhere.

see the imdb profile, "Vlog" is listed as a tv series starring Brooke Marks as Brooke Marks.


http://www.imdb.com/company/co0137447/

The trivia section for "Vlog" only says that it is the first feature film produced for the internet. That's really all the information it has.

No. In this case it's a guy who's writing a book, and is also making an ARg called Bookerville that's pretty much at a standstill right now.
