Theories
What the heck is going on?

To fully exploit our CF status, I wanted to start a thread about wild speculation on the story. Some people have been theorizing that Uno is "pulling a Fight Club" on us, etc. Let's use this space for broad speculation about what's going on.

Is Uno really clinically mad, or is all this clinical psychology stuff what other people think about his "gift"?

What do we know about Uno's life and history? And what can this tell us about what's going on?

Thought these would get lost in the other thread so....

thanks for the welcome!

so i received notification that adam has accepted my friend request... i sent him a pm on fb but he has yet to respond back...

a few questions/ideas:

1. this business of the phone is eery to say the least... but if phones are involved (and have been confirmed to be ig), i wonder what else is too... do we have an address to the phone number (or a way of obtaining one? i know it says ontario, but there has to be more to this) maybe even a po box... perhaps there are other ways of finding ig material that happen to be outside the net? (again, i'm new so maybe this is crossing a line pms don't do... but should)

1a. do we know that the newspaper article is in fact real, is it possible this is also ig material disguised as a tool to build this story around? it wouldn't be hard to mimic a newspaper... as i read earlier, i believe there is only one link to this...

1b. if someone lives in the area (or within driving distance of the mental facility, can we get confirmation that the address is accurate on the ad? if it is actually a mental facility, then it's just a tool... if it's a po box, perhaps it's time to send a letter or find out who's name is on the po box?

1c. i really do believe that this was forged as the date has so many nines in it... we are also a year from the anniversary of that ad and if those in the picture are adam and cassie (yes the "i am" links to his name, but it is also over the man's eyes, and honestly, adam could have linked to his name using another device), then is it possible that maybe one of them owned it... do we know what either one of them did for a living? of course, it could have been a red herring (or scarlet trout)...

2. the mother knows more than we've asked... we know from the mother that cassie didn't want the divorce; the opposite of what adam tells us... unfortunately, adam tells us a lot of things that don't add up (no pun intended here)... but maybe adam felt she wanted him to go since she didn't believe him and felt that his gift was a sickness; thus taking this rejection as cassie forcing him to leave?

2a. do we know how cassandra died? is it possible that cassandra met her demise by the hand of someone close to her, who's memory of the event has been blocked by voices and visions? a 5 year anniversary of divorce could be a trigger for visions and voices, and possibly for tragic outcomes for cassie... perhaps because she wouldn't listen? btw, the name cassandra means, "unheeded prophetess" and "she who entangles men"

2b. it could be possible that this recent contact with ms. cassie that adam had could have been a voice he heard in his head as was described earlier by a fellow follower who's name i can't remember; much like poe's tell-tale heart, a sort of haunting?

like i said, i'm new.. i could be way off and in need of some good ol' fish slapping... but after a night of reading these posts and going over the presented evidence, i can't help but feel like we've come up short because we haven't taken into account all possibilities (including ones he hasn't suggested)... as we travel further down the rabbit hole, i feel as if there is something far more sinister going on other than the end of the world and a possible judgment day... i feel as if this need to save the world is a way of adam cleansing himself from something

i apologize for the obscenely long post... but with what seems to be 9 weeks until endgame (11/11/09), be that the end of the world, his death (the gasoline and matches may return) or something he hasn't hinted at yet, i'm grasping at every straw i can get my hands on...

Ok... I have a feeling the pm is trying to clear things up for us a bit. I dunno, could be wrong....

Adam- is the "original" and "real" person.

Uno- one of the main "personalities" - but not the only one, maybe the leader, or main one who has been "in control" of Adam for the longest amount of time...

now I think we have another one who is trying to "take over".

"they" don't want Adam to leave. Maybe Adam is not fully aware of what's going on. "They" are using him to send messages... for help to save the world.
If "they" have been in control of Adam for the past 5 years, then Uno and "they" know that Cassandra is "with angels".... but Adam does not. He would be "missing" 5 years of time... as if they just broke up. Discovering she is gone would devastate him, naturally. So they have to keep him away to protect him, and to be able to finish their mission.

Now there is someone on FB who posted and says:
"We've been paying close attention to who you are becoming. You are now me, we think it's best this way."
--so now Uno is not the one, (of "they"), who will be in "control" of Adam... the new persona this time is this "Richard Garrison" guy. ??
-----
So, I think the Richard Garrison may be an IG character, who will be taking the place of Uno in Adam's mind

"They" must be able to maintain "control" of Adam's mind in order to get those messages out to us. Anyone or anything that tries to stop them, or his visions, or writings, are a threat.
Cassandra didn't try to kill "Adam"... she was trying to help Adam - maybe by getting rid of Uno and the others. ??

- maybe this "new" persona is taking over because Adam may be beginning to be able to break the control at times. Maybe this new persona is stronger, (or meaner), than our original Uno.

Nevermind about that previous post I made...
I'm assuming it's an attempted game-jack. So, I'm clicking on the "ignore" button in my mine.

So.. in responsiveness.. do you think Uno only responds to text in the code and Adam to regular text?

I'm sorta doing an experiment in this.

Probably so. At least that would appear to be the case to me.

Well I reverted it back to the version prior to this.. the changes can be reviewed still in the history.. so keep them on hand just in case we can figure out who did it.

I wondered the same thing and tried it a few days ago but haven't received a reply to either message yet. Will let you know if I hear something back and what the results were.

ok so far i have seen a contrast between this game and several of my favorite movies.

1. fight club = 1 min cassandra wants to be with him the next min she's devorcing him. he claims she left him, cassandra's telephone mother claims he left her. (assuming the phone number we discovered is IG)
so he's pulling what tylor did to marla. one min he loves her the next min he's pushing her away. adam doesnt realize what uno is doing therefore his relationship is being sabotoged.

2. 12 monkeys = adam/uno claims he's tryign to save the world, no one believes him and they all think hes crazy, and desevered to be locked up in a mental institution. the casssandra complex is a complex where people who are prohectic but no one believes thier prohacy's until they come true

3. 23 = he is obbessed with the number 9 and coreclating everything in his life around this number , it has a desprate meaning in his life. the same with the number 5. the obession leads to a mental break down and in the movie eventually killing someone.

4. white noise 2 = he is now refering to the third day http://www.wissamidrissi.com/2007/08/tria-mera-666-true.html
also an obbession with numbers, and trying to save and correct a mistake that was done

5. The butterfly effect = he uses his journals to keep track of the time he loses and what happens when he has his moments of clarity. also in the movie ashton's charector used his journals to time travel back to correct the mistakes of his past ulitmatly realizing he was doing more harm then good.

if i come accorss any other movie's that correlate i will post.

Does anyone else feel like when we hit gaps in activity, Uno is psychically stuck and we grind to a halt until someone does or says something specific to get us moving again? I'm not seeing as many puzzles as I'd like in this, but I'm getting the idea it's going to end up being way more driven by interaction with the character (or characters, if the PMs come out with more that we can talk to) than anything else. Then again, we're only a couple weeks in and I may be way off.

Just a theory, but I figured this is the place to put it. Does this make any sense to anyone?

OK I think most people are noticing the all seeing eye coming into play..whether or not if it sould be taken for face value or not is yet to be figured out , now I could be wrong but here is my theory...When adam say the glass broke he never specified as to how. When I followed up on the all seeing eye and the third eye I discoverd that you can open your minds eye aka third eye by receiving a head injury. Also upon opening it you become in a state of paralysis and you can see outside yourself in a spiritual plane. Past and future no longer have limitations. You can also receive messages from outside forces good or bad. They are several frequency you can travel on..now UNO did mention frequencies. There are 7 chakras Sacral, spleen, solar, heart, throat, third and and then the highest one the crown. Now I could be wrong and again this is a theory but maybe when he's on a certain chakara something he said relates to it like when he said my love chokes me to death..maybe he was 5th frequency between the heart and throat chakra..then recently he's showing pictures of this eye..his third eye which is the 6 dimenson. Maybe that's way he said 6 away. The number 9 can also be mistaken for the eye of horus..the all seeing eye. This is all I got so far. And what I think but it's up to you guys to decide.
