 		Question The file name begins with lk_wa_...

Couldn't that mean it has an association with Leo Kane?

"lk wa house.jpg" - Leo Kane's house in WA?


Bit of an unknown in general, although would agree with trip over it most probably being a vacation or 2nd home.

Firstly, sorry I didn't read that post, it's quite hard to wade through previous posts, the very nature of forums being chatoic and a merging of ideas. I am pretty good for not double posting ideas.

Secondly, what evidence do we have to support the 2nd home theory?

It seems to me that the clues on this game are everywhere, and everything (except that stupid PaintOct1 picture) seems to have a meaning and has been dilberatley put there.

Why then, if the rest of the filename means something (I translate it to be Washington House) is the "LK" just ignored? If anything these seem to be the most important characters because they are the beginning of the file name.

 		Thats okay, wasn't having a go, was just bringing info together Smile

I agree the lk means something, but don't know whether it could be leo kane. The contenders so far are...

Leo Kane, Washington - Not sure of link
Lake Washington - Geograpically close to important areas
Lake Wales - Tenuous link from Cascade Vortex

As for 2nd home theory - or generally not 'main' home theory - comes from naming. If it were your house, you would probably name it house.jpg or some such, you wouldn't necessarily be so specific.

Question

Only guesses, but in these barren times...

 		I agree, they wouldnt have named it like that unless it was someone elses house and they wanted to remember where, or a shorthand way of saying whose house it was.

The first thing that stuck out to me was that the middle two digits are consecutive numbers 59 and 60. Maybe the outer two sets of digits (19 and 12) should be looked at in that order? But why would 1912 have any significance?


It probly has som sort of significance if you look at HaZy's post a little later

The pic gave me the feeling of a mortuary so I was looking about for mortuaries in Seattle and I found this interesting page of strange goings on FireIce

If the accounts are to be believed, 1921 First Ave. -- now home to Fire & Ice -- is an active address in a paranormal zone with the public Market as its epicenter


It turns out the Fire & Ice building was part of the site E.R. Butterworth used to expand his well-known mortuary business in Seattle in 1903.

The bottom floor was reserved for hearses and a cremation oven. The first floor, where a dining room exists today, had viewing rooms and a chapel with a choir loft.

I don't really know if this fits with anything but I found it interesting this is my first post having only been recently drawn into this experience I am still trying to catch up with all the threads of information. Unfortunately I am in the UK otherwise i would probably be running all over Seattle right now 8^)

 		As regards the naming of the jpg of the house as 'lk wa', I have to admit I'm more inclined to the Lake Washington idea (or even the Lake Wales one).
The reason I don't like the idea that this Leo Kane's house is simply because if, as we suspect, Arnold 'The Terminator' Neihoffer (hope I spelled that right!) is really the same person behind Kane/Wongmo/Fiona, then this brings up the question of how long has he been running this scam (aside from the question of why! Money?)
We know the Nekodas have lost their memory for quite some time, and although I realise that it would probably take some time to build up a reputation, there are people out there who can successfully assume an occupation without ever having practiced it (remember that film with Leo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks?). So, AQN might not necessarily have had the Leo Kane personality developed yet when the Nekodas lost their memory, therefore they would have been unable to label the jpg as his house since it wasn't even his house to begin with.
Does any of that make sense?
Does any of this ARG make sense?

At the moment, I don't think we know what's going on here; either Ethan and Dina were previously James and Lynne, or Ethan and Dina were previously Ryan and Sylvia. As regards the theory Avery-->Emerson-->Nekoda, I think there are some dates that work against that (I think it's the date of James' disappearance as compared with the date that Ryan wrote the CD note).
So, long answer short, Bamba-man, no.

 		dina did say in a letter thing to ethan that she thinks they used to be ryan and sylvia, so i think its safe to assume they are.

Really? Darn, I thought we were pretty sure. I mean, seriously, the only way at this point that Ethan was not Ryan is if Ethan is a clone of Ryan. People recognize him as Ryan, the handwriting is the same... I think it's pretty much concluded that Ethan=Ryan. Dina=Sylvie is slightly less sure, but I'm betting that's true also.

True, but she also said that she was certain that Jesse was their son; unless we somehow follow 'out to lunch's idea here: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=30397#30397; how can Jesse both be an Avery and an Emerson? It doesn't make sense, particularly when we consider how close a business relationship MetaCortechs and Murpha have.

 		because dina used to be married to james avery, before he got out of the matrix or died, and then they had to brainwash her to make her forget, and they stuck her with ryan, had to reprogram him too, so they think they are a married couple...jesse is the son of avery and slyvia me thinks...thats how his name would be jesse avery, and then james was replaced by mr.emerson...that could be an explanation

In other words, stand anywhere near Dina and get brainwashed... Wink
