 The NOTE easy reading version

[rose]

About the transcription: Thanks for doing that! I can't read it all very well but..

I don't think the first sentence ends with Mountains, Inmountaine? It might mean in mountains in French, but it could be the name of a place?

I also read Barton as Boston.

And, I think the Demons of Revelry should be the name of Krystyn's next band.


Also, thanks thebruce!!

[Tresbien]

Thank you very much and great work thebruce! You made a trip there in darkness after all -- awesome! I'm eager to read about your adventure.

The last word of the first sentence is Trimountaine. Here's the wiki page about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimountaine It says:

Alrighty, I've written up my adventure at wikibruce

oh what fun it was!

[Pavoreax]

Great job, thebruce!

As for what's next, I think we wait for Songwraith. From everything we've seen and been told so far, these pages seem like the rewards for each chapter of the game, rather than clues to the next action. By the end of the game, we'll have the complete story.

[Tresbien]

Thanks again for getting the clue thebruce -- totally enjoyed your account of finding it. The photo with the crescent moon is perfect. While it would have been easier in the daylight, it wouldn't have been the same spooky atmosphere you had going when you did. I'm adding flashlight and fresh batteries to ARG Toolkit.

[thebruce]

thanks... and I still can't believe that neither a gas station nor the Short Stop had a flashlight OR batteries. You'd think both of them would, of all places, even for different reasons.
hehe

but I'm keeping that halloween flashlight... so suitable to the excursion

Merago, welcome aboard and nice research on New Bedford. Since songwraith said in the latest video, "Your goal is not to find the prison city but to know her story," it's possible that this story's city is fictional and, thus, not to be found on any map.

ETA: Up for discussion is the red symbol on the history page. Is it an initial "D" or something else? And, now we have a symbolic crow on a page of the history, I decided to dig a bit more into its meaning. "A bad bird" gave me pause, but the last line in particular caught my attention. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/3030/crow2.html

[Pavoreax]

I also read the red symbol as a fancy "D". My first thought was that it was a signature of sorts, but then I thought it might be the sequence of pages - this is page D. I'm still thinking signature, but we'll know more about that when we get the next page, I guess.

Before the reboot, it was suggested that the next chapter after Galt would be in New York City. No indication yet if that's still the direction. I guess we'll know if we start to see a lot of pigeon symbology for the next page.

[Tresbien]

That cracked me up Pavoreax. A game I played once required a lot of research; it's hard to break the habit of looking for deep meanings. I tend to take the leave no stone unturned approach.

Speaking of which I've been looking at the Galt page to see if there's an underlying image or if it's just shadows created by the original paper having been crunched up. Played with it a bit in Photoshop and wonder what do you all think?

[thebruce]

yeah it's a print on a page that already has kind of a 'crumple' or water-damaged kind of look (you can buy paper that comes with design like that in stores), hard to explain. but I didn't notice any pattern in the 'texture' of the page.

[Tresbien]

Thanks, thebruce, as I'd meant to ask if you saw anything different in the page you have in hand. I'll cross off what I thought I saw to my overactive imagination.

[thebruce]

I'll definitely take a closer examination of it when I get home again tomorrow... I didn't consider analyzing it more than what was clearly visible
don't know why I didn't. and I call myself an arger. *tsk*
I didn't even sweep it with a black light.

[Tresbien]

I'll be interested to hear if you see more when you look at it again thebruce. For everyone's consideration I thought I'd throw out one thing I think I see on this page. On the right-hand side of it, rotated 90 degrees, it looks to me like the ship's flag again. At first I thought the center image between the bars was a stag's head and later thought it looked more like a bird's head with plumage. Is this shadows or something more?
