 		fading memories-erased smiles (formerly "found something")
Hi there unfiction forum.

 		Checked out the blog, looks and sounds pretty cool, seems pretty abstract, but I personally really like that feel. I'll check out the youtube channel when I get home. And come back to this post.

 		I was a bit confused as to why he found any of this wierd, but the explanation in his other, apparently unrelated blog is a little bit better: http://lauber012.blogspot.se/2012/10/creepy-stuff.html.

Also: Yey, my language!

 		Figured it would be important to note that the gibberish on his profile page, http://www.blogger.com/profile/09441084778684901855, was coded. It translates to this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
nothingcanstopus
o
t
i
f
i
c
a
n
h
e
l
p


I'm interested. Will be watching this.

Edit: also found something in his most recent video strange. Probably nothing, but I can't explain the little unmoving white dot in the door to that shack. The best view is at 1:14, sorry I can't post a picture atm.

2xEdit: He removed the message, replaced it with his Youtube account. As it's now gone, here's the original text if you don't trust my above translation: bm90aGluZ2NhbnN0b3B1cw0Kbw0KdA0KaQ0KZg0KaQ0KYw0KYQ0Kbg0KaA0KZQ0KbA0KcA0Ka

That is coincidentally the Observers latest tweet in Tribe Twelve, http://twitpic.com/b3a7bx. I hope that is why he removed it. Or is it possible you got them confused somehow?


Also, new video 1 and new video 2. Caughing. Is it time to move this thread to the Slendy-forum yet?

 		Nope, never heard of that Tribe Twelve thing. Definitely saw it on his blog. It is possible that it wasn't actually meant to be a part of this, though, seeing as the exact same thing was posted by the Observer in something unrelated. But I don't know.

Edit: Firstly, unum luscus vagus is latin for one-eyed wanderer.

Next, I tried to decode the code on the paper. Typing it out, I got: V2hhdCBpc3QgZW4gYmVnaW5uaW5nIHdhcyDDpHIgYW4gZW5kZQ0KDQplZ
GxlIHNww6RoZXINCnZlbmF0b3INCmJlbGxhdG9yDQppbnFlaXNpdG9yDQoNCkFtIGVuZGUgc2VoZW4gd2lyLCB2aWQgYsO2cmphbiB2YWthciB2aSBhbmQgaW4gdGhlIGlpZGRsZSB3ZSBjb25jZWFsIHlvdS4NCg0KYmVnaW5uDQoNCndbmRlcmluZyBoZXJtaXQNCg0Kc2VlIHVz
Which is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
base-64 for:
What ist en beginning was är an ende

edle späher
venator
bellator
inqeisitor

Am ende sehen wir, vid början vakar vi and in the iiddle we conceal you.

beginn

wandering hermit

see us

I put that in Google Translate for a couple different languages: Latin, Swedish, German. It never was quite right, but Latin was closest. Either me or the PM screwed something up somewhere, unless it's supposed to come out a little messed up.
Anyway, he asked for help translating, but I don't have time to leave him a comment now. One of you guys can if you want.

EDIT - broke up the long string so it wouldn't push the page out ~varin

 		Hi, new here!
I got a similar message when I decrypted it. I think I figured out a little bit of it. I used a mix of German and Swedish for the translation in Google Translate.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This is what I got from the note:
"What ist en beginning was är an ende

edlu späher
venator
bullator
inquisitor

Am ende sehen wir, vid början vakar vi and in thu middle we conceal you.

beginn

wandering hermit

seu us"

The only part I could make semi understandable was the long sentence, which says something like:
"At the end we see, at the beginning we watch and in the middle we conceal you."


Though that still doesn't really make sense. He also posted two more encrypted blog posts.

First one says "how many times do we have to tell you, stop searching" in a couple of different languages.

Also, specterseymore, could you break down the code into 3 or 4 lines to get the board back to it's original state?

The weird symbols are computer lingo for å, ä and ö.
Edle späher means honorable scout. Venator means hunter. Bellator means warrior. Inqeisitor is not a word but I assume he means inquisitor.

So:
Quote:
What is a beginning what is an end
Honorable scout
Hunter
Warrior
Inquisitor
In the end we see, in the beginning we watch (watch over, literally) and in the middle we hide you
Begin
Wandering hermit
See us


Caption of Omega-video says
Quote:
Goodbye alter lekkamrat
o
d

and means goodbye old playmate, god


A lot of watching for someone who just happened to post the Observers tweet. Also the same format (right-down). I hope it's not a game-jack.

EDIT - broke up the long string to stop it from pushing the page out wider ~ varin

 		I have been looking into the location of things a bit..

in img_0159.mov/the bridge there is a good shot at 0:43 of the name of the factory: Cloetta

would this be the cloetta chocolate factory in Ljungsbro sweden?

the address: Hjalmar Svenfelts väg, Ljungsbro, Sverige

no street view unfortunately..

Did some checking on geocaching.com.. found the following picture of that building:

similar?

 		have you guys spotted the symbolism on picture 163?
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jTPjEtygXy0/UHqm7McPPeI/AAAAAAAAADA/IQ8T1uxsM4E/s1600/IMG_0163.JPG

to the left of the door there is a sequence:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

an oval with a stripe through it
a handprint
the letters PKS
the numbers 1011 or 4011


does this make sense to you guys?



EDIT:
The one eyed wanderer is a reference to ODIN. one of the gods described in the poetic edda.. The rest of the terminology fits with this..
