 		I think I need to put my previous comments into proper context. When I have mentioned the "Mystery Man" before it is in the frame of reference of the ARG and not what they are referring to as "Suspect Zero" in the series. Thus when I mentioned the "dead end" it was the dead chap in the car and not the guy showing up in the baseball stadium in Detroit (which has not been a part of the game).

It might make better sense now of how I think the game is in a pause or even at an end. The Mystery Man cannot add further content to the folders in the encrypted site at truthhack.com so "puzzle end" is most-likely indeed the puzzle end. An exception might be if it starts up again from further Oscar clips and either goes into a different phase altogether or more content is added to the encrypted folder site. Funny thing is, with the MM having now "assumed room temperature", anyone adding further content to the folders should be looked at with extreme caution, if you know what I mean, hee.

Let's see in the next several episodes if Gibbons leads the FBI to the fish tank room (likely). We haven't seen episodic evidence of a mention yet of the "Divine Cupcake Company" so we'll just have to wait for it.

So, as far as the ARG goes, if we can strike off the keywords GIBBONS, SALT, LAKE, CITY, and UTAH we'll only have the three keywords left from the eighteen original to look for.

 		mosaic
end?
Cool
I understood what you said..mystery man was in the car in Oscar's report.
Suspect zero is the person seen in the surveillance tapes, who was the only one awake.
In my heart I don't think this is done.....trully I think it's a pause.
I think Oscar will lead the way.
Thanks for tracking all this Mosaic Hyde.

You know it's fun when we have to refer to people as "Mystery Man", "Suspect Zero", "Simon" (without a last name), etc. Very Happy

You're right, you know. I'm trapped and I'll be checking in at TH for more information. Hey, at least we deserve an update with a sweaty Oscar wiping down his shocked face with a handkerchief as he debriefs the world of Benford's "I told you so" warning, hee. I even have a title to suggest to Oscar. "Postmortem." Laughing

 		I noticed from a previous post that Oscar mentioned "the diamond lane"
Usually, this signifies the carpool lane, but also notice the Denmo logo is a diamond.

I might be joining you guys in this ;D

There's always room on this bus. Very Happy That's a good catch on the diamond. No one had that yet. It seems to be in context with the string of Oscar's ruminations. Buses can always take advantage of the car pool lane, so your contribution adds to the clues that we have a bus line that will be possibly going to SLC, Utah, up the switchbacks with the Rockies serving as "Truth Mountain" instead of the Himalayas.

It will indeed be fun to see the next episode and see just exactly where in Utah Benford, Noh and Hawk will be going (probably SLC, but how're they gunna manage cupcakes and Nazis lol?). We know from previews it's a prison and they're going to see D. Gibbons, a jailed Nazi. Think of it, we have an ARG that is about a series that has global flashforwards, cupcakes, Nazis and liquid-cooled computers. Weeeeee, this is fun. Smile

 		Just to carry on the mountain theme. I'm pretty darn sure that the pictures in the bus-line brochure are of the continental divide. Previously we had a 'theory of the week' about plate tectonics Wink

Great observation Apoph. Let's see if any earthquakes develop. Wink

How many of us think we'll see a Red Panda ad on the Denmo bus? Laughing

Since we're about to see a bus in water, maybe Goyer will have buses interacting with all 4 of the elements- earth, fire, water, and air. Hmm, a bus getting swallowed by a fault, one burning and one "flying"? Naaah. Razz

I also love that David G. confirmed my 137 research. Is it even possible that the computers running in the oiled-filled fish tanks are a "poor man's" super computer that is calculating the "fine-structure constant" so as to create the ff effect? Who knows. "Watch the Show" seems to be a good solution for me, lol.

Cool
Did we ever figure the significance of the bull's eye? (geological that is)
Mosaic Hyde I really like your enthusiasm.
Later I found this http://education.usgs.gov/schoolyard/ringscarp.html
Earthquakes radiate out in a bull's eye pattern...run the cursor over the above picture.
As usual not sure how it fits in to the scheme. Did anyone look at the screenshots posted here yesterday?

I think the bull's eye was a possible solution of the knight piece before it was revealed to be a knight piece. The geological mention by Oscar was helping to back that one up for awhile. I really liked your "large screen cap" find and I'm sure it's being used by not only us but the "non-ARG" viewers as well. Great addition and thanks! I check TH but no update there. I think Oscar is in hiding, lol. I'd be! Wink

The 'bull's eye" was in deed a wrong direction.

Here is an update from the TH site that may fill us in:



YouTube: Link

Although it's the same video from the encrypted page, it has now been moved out into the main YT public area and a new header added.

The ARG seems to be in a holding pattern, but we'll keep watching.

For all here to enjoy, those of us that are here now can enjoy the full context of this grab from the preview of episode 1x02, "White to Play."
It seems the computer towers were immersed as I thought and now we see there is more than one "fish tank" to see. It's easy to notice the 2:17 clock at the top. I would have preferred it as displaying in seconds. The POV of the 5-second clip is about where the person is at.



In case any want to see how a computer can be liquid cooled by using mineral oil, see this clip. So you too can build your very own fish tank room. Chess set and large digital clock sold separately. Laughing

Apoph, I think we need to take notice that Oscar's "Field Reports" are incomplete with six of the nine finished. One hint of Oscar's return might be seeing the last three show up, although they could say that they were found in Oscar's typewriter laptop. Wink

 		True. They can still do field reports, but to me it seemed that they were essentially just mines for the keywords. With the puzzle solved they aren't really needed for the campaign.
Marcie has also stopped doing the 'Weekly Mosaic' at the same time that we solved it.
That's not to say that Oscar and/or TruthHack won't start back up with new vids. And I'd assume at some point JtM will update with something new as well.

The man in the 'tank-room' in that pic just struck me as looking like Simon.

...and just Apo is fine Wink
