How did tot get this footage? Unless he is alex and therefore removed the audio as J suspected.

Also, I don't suppose anyone could point me in the right direction for working on the code. I tried applying ticktock as a key (backwards and upside down) but it would make a very good one as the two words are quite similar.

EDIT: also this reminds me of a computer science class I took, the dash meant that the pathway was connected, hence reaching the binary threshold of 1...but that was my professor's notation. I think words were binary sets of 8 digits, currently trying to find something to decipher that...


or he could have just downloaded entry 7.....


I lol'ed. If we have access to all the videos, so does everyone else. Not just J, not just Alex, not just ToT, everyone!

That is true, but I would think that they want us to believe that IG, totheark has access to those videos only.

 		Oh, Embarassed I feel sheepish. Baaaa

Anyway, my ascii theory isn't really going anywhere, I'm going to try and reverse it and edit with the update.

My work so far: [binary > dec > ascii]
00 00 00 00 > 0 > null
00 00 00 0- > 1 > start of heading
00 00 00 -0 > 2 > start of text
00 00 00 -- > 3 > end of text
00 0- 00 00 >16 > data link escape
00 0- 00 0- > 17 > device control 1
00 0- 0- 0- > 21 > neg. acknowledge
0- 00 00 00 > 64 > d
0- 00 00 0- > 65 > e
00 00 00 -0 > 2 > start of text

Going backwards and maybe upside down?

Ugh. Now I remember why I changed majors.

EDIT: scratch that, I just got nonsense

We still don't even know if this is a game to begin with.

Yes, but what else could it be, besides a viral campaign (I have in-depth knowledge of virals, and this is NOT a viral) or just something fun to do?

 		I think you guys are overlooking that the string of 0's and -s could just be representing Slender Man, since the wall of text in front of his head is exactly where Slender Man is when he's revealed staring in the alleyway.

Just something fun to do. Regardless, none of this chit chat is helping up toward whatever goal (if any) we are trying to achieve.

Nice, but I think it's simpler than that. I'm thinking this is a key, a Rosetta stone. Like in the "Program" video. Each set of zeroes is a binary number and they're ordered 0 through 10.

08 and 80
04 and 40
02 and 20
01 and 10

If this is so the numbers go from 0 to 10 and when applied to "Program" it spells YAMA three times.

I am pretty pretty sure this is a timer or a counter (also the words at the start say 'tick tock'). Almost, at least. To make it clearer, you can turn each one counterclockwise by 90 deg, and then the '-'s look just like ones. Then the (top row of the) figures read 0000, 0001, 0010, 0011, 0100, 0101, 0110, 0111, 1000, 1001, i.e. pretty much counting in binary. Only that the last figure is
Quote:

0000
0001

which, if we assume that the second row is a continuation of the first, it reads 10000, i.e. 16 in binary. I'm not sure why there is a jump though.

Also the binary in the description actually converts to 55, only the last four digits actually convert to 7, as claimed.

I'm pretty sure this can also be applied to the bleedmore thing, working on it.

Edit: Erk, slow.

Actually SM was further to the left and a bit more up.

Well I'm out of CS for a reason, but that just confused me. I'll check out the "Program" thread and if I'm still lost could I message you?

 		Absolutely. Very Happy

This link might help out, its for explaining the binary clock but its a nice graphic to show how the math works.

 		Binary Clock Anyone?

i cant work it out, but it looks like a simple binary timer

Code:
00

00
0-

0s

00
00
0-
00

15s

00
0-

30s

0-
00
00
00

45s

00
00
00
-0

1 minute



then it should go on like that until
Code:

00
00
-0
00

2 mins


I went over Entry 7 and couldnt see anything at 1:00...
so Maybe im wrong

 		Brilliant. Thank you so much. I can't help but feel the position of "tick tock" being upside down is important. Perhaps we should look at this upside down? or backwards.

Being a countdown/count-up makes sense. Maybe to another message from J?
