Check out the new article, pic and note. Maybe this represents a new "breed" of Big Daddy?

Mod note: Moved thread titled "[BioShock 2 ARG] [Trailhead] [UPDATED 3/6/09]" from CF With Potential to News & Rumors and merged it with this thread.

While this may very well find itself back at CFWP eventually for now it's too early to tell.

We checked the dates from that other map and it came out to

bto co cpo dd dk dxo ee ebo fno fao gn hf hlo ico

It doesn't ROT to anything, but it is an interesting little bit of info. Just throwing my hat in the ring. Also Atlas had a Irish voice, Liscannor is an Irish province.

Edit: Does anyone remember the name of Atlas's supposed kid? I think it was Moira or something similar. The kidnapped kid was named 'Maura'. Once again just throwing all to the wall and seeing what sticks.

Also, the timeline seems odd. All of J. Lynch's letters were written in March.

Moira and Patrick, if I'm not mistaken.

im still a little confused about what exactly you did to come up with those letters, i tried frequency analysis on them and it started to almost look like something. However im not sure there is quite enough letters to figure out if their is anything at all.

its possible that the extra map is simply a shot of things to come... ie the site updates on those days with more info.... would be nice if it was revealed how the map was found.

Here are some random dots to connect. I looked up J lynch i got a wiki hit Jack Lynch no big deal. . . until you see he is irish. . . not only that but a politician funny i seem to remember politics playing a role in bioshock. Not only that he has links to other wikis such as Jame Ryan and Eamon de Valera both names that this thread know and now connect to Bioshock. I'm scanning the pages now. Here are the links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Lynch
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Ryan_(Irish_politician)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89amon_de_Valera
Im not to good at breaking codes but I can get the info and related facts so feel free to double back over my findings. Oh and Im running the names in the tidbits from the site I got.
The boy's name Eamon \e(a)-mon\ is pronounced EE-mon, AY-mon. It is of Irish, Gaelic and Old English origin, and its meaning is "wealthy protector".
The lil girl maybe a lil sister who produces adam would make him wealthy by Rapture standards. Oh and the girls name
The girl's name Maura \ma(u)-ra\ is of Irish origin. Variant of Mary (Latin) "star of the sea".

Maura has 3 variant forms: Moira, Mora and Morah.
which eludes to the red lights in the sea cause stars are known to have a phase known as red star. This could be a foreshadowing to the impending implosion of rapture or what ever is beneath the sea or the girl herself.

so far none of the other names have shown up anything worthwhile.

quite interesting stuff, however the J. lynch stands for Jeremiah Lynch. His full name is given in the article on the right side on the trailhead website. He even served during the exact time that the events took place, so its probably either a coincidence or the makers used his name for inspiration. Wikipedia sites are not generally in game, though they may provide info on a person in a game, the info would have to be factual and since these games are fictional they are not generally a part of them. Reason being the page would get edited or deleted by the people who maintain the site and actually get quite offended by someone using wikipedia for these purposes.

Everything seems to paint the picture of a Big Daddy as the kidnapper, but it seems something has changed...now they're thin. The 3rd update mentions this. The doll could also somewhat illustrate this. So why would they be thinner now? Maybe I'm misreading something...?

Also, there is an X with the date 3/15. Its looks like it is approximately over London. Maybe some event will come up soon? I dont live anywhere near London, but it would be fun if something interesting happened.

the Xs and events match up perfectly with the ones seen here http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/260890/map.swf . I dont think there will be an event or something happening on those dates since there hasnt been yet with the other two updates. Right now we are just getting viral updates and it appears we will get 14 more between now and the game comming out. Hopefully its more than just that. One thing to mention as well in the map with all of the Xs there is one x in the middle of the atlantic without a date on it.

In case some people still don't know, the police organization interpol gave out a fake police report on the bioshock website.

http://www.interpol.int/default.asp
There is the link to the official interpol website. I doubt it. But we may find something there related to somethinginthesea

Has anybody picked through the static yet? There's at least one man's voice, a two-tone chime, what sounds like waves and the clanging of pots/pans (repeatedly).
