Just to throw out another idea that occurred to me about the ships: What if the ships aren't meant to point us to any specific ship wrecks? The only thing most of the images we have in common is the time period they all seem to belong to. That time period (Boston-area colonial) also fits with several other themes seen in pictures and the page that was recovered.

I mostly mention this because we shifted time period with no full explanation of the ship and only very cryptic messages from Songwraith on the issue.

If nothing else it's one more perspective on our info to think about as we get more from the videos and research.

Sorry to hit you with more reading, potter, but hope it was worthwhile. This wiki page might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Shipwrecks_of_the_United_States I've checked out some but not all of these wrecks. I took a close enough look to determine that we probably could match them up with the Os on the map.

At the rate this is moving, one could read a few pages a day and catch up in no time. I'm sure if you'd like to make a wiki, thebruce would set one up for you.

Welcome to Zslasher and glad to see you here APD.

Hey, I'm another newbie around here.

Just finished reading through the thread and watching the movies, just want to mention a few things that I think have been missed (or at least haven't been said).

Firstly, in 'who wants to live forever' the sound effects going with the player descriptions have been incompletely listed (by the other Tarq from Australia, funnily enough). But I hear more.

Founder - A kind of a moan sound; ties in with 'man of eternal sorrow'
Hanged Bride - A screech followed by a sudden noise (perhaps a rope pulling taut, or an axe hitting a wooden block); seems to imply something demonic maybe, the witch, followed by the sound of her execution.
The Pride - Sound of baby giggling followed by scraping blades; seems straightforward.
The Jurors - Sound of a clock ticking (about the point he says 'innocence'); reinforcing the time theme I s'pose?
Prison City/Possessive Woman - I can faintly make out a low pitched sound in the background here, anyone else here it?

Also there is the sound of a heartbeat in the background throughout the whole clip. Plus another recurring sound that I can't identify. Sort of like a far off muffled scream maybe... sort of. Is there some way to analyse the sound beyond listening to it over and over with headphones?

The sounds seem to be sounds of the players, or at least sounds describing them.
The fact that for the first three the sound begins as the name is given, followed by silence during the description, seems to reinforce the idea that the description is of the name. ie. The Founder is The Man of Eternal Sorrow.
The Jurors are an oddity then, because the tick sound only comes at the end of the description.
The low sound I hear in the background runs right through the Prison City and Possessive Woman parts. Does this imply that the possesive woman is the prison city? A personification of it? Is prison city the town she is dressed as?

Secondly, there seems to be a recurring theme of pictures within pictures. First in 'who wants to live forever' there are the faces in the skulls eye sockets. Then in 'hearts vs heads' there is a picture of a woman outlined on a formation in the clouds. And the silhouette of a bird of some kind made from an icicle formation(?).
And now we have the womans face appearing in the prohibition picture.
Is this trend a clue? Or am I reading too much into it?

<Sigh> Now off to start reading the old thread.

Welcome TarqUn. Many people use the free Audacity program for manipulating sound files -- it's definitely worth trying if you think you can extract more from the audio than we've heard. Not sure if this is what you mean, but I hear rain/water dripping as the other continuing background sound in who wants to live forever.

Your point about the clues showing things being hidden or things not being as they first appear is well taken. To me that goes along with the overarching theme of the game being a cover up and the long-hidden secrets the Founder speaks about.

As to "...the prison city, a possessive woman dressed as the town" the only interpretation so far that works for me is that the city itself is enticing, doesn't want people to leave, and holds them there, figuratively speaking.
