ignoring the morons, has any one thought of checking out the address that the last video gave us? he not only gave us an extremely specific address, but also a google maps image. that seems to be a strong "go here" indicator to me.

hm, checking it on gmaps reveals it's just the address of the Metlife building, so I guess that's not actually a clue beyond "what was his dad doing there".

the latest one, "Deposit Slip".

Ah, I see. It looks like that Citibank wasn't opened until 2002, but that just may be a mistake.

Imageshack? Really?

I did some analysis of the image.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):


If one lowers the brightness on the DNC image, flips it horizontally you will see that the scan includes text from the book this image was scanned from. This text is from either the preceding or next page in the book (most likely from the scanner picking up the next page).

I've tried to clarify the text using filters, but I'm out of time for this little project today.

I found two possible sources for the image which was used for the photoshop manipulation of the note. There seem to be two tumbler blogs which have the image. I'm not sure if they are related or not. The first is here, and the second is here

The tumblr blogs contain other images which are NFSW.

This could be from DNC. It's signed with two "øø" and his lastest tweet also has two "øø"...

The picture is Abigail Folger.

It says-

Well the refrence to children makes me think it must be "please"

It seems its twitter only now which may help narrow down things

Just a meta/OOG thought:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I don't think this is game jacking, just based on the number of people watching the videos I wonder if this jacking is part of the plot, maybe the group of followers are now in a state of chaos hence the random people popping in and out and the variou methords they use, as this is some of the most involved game jacking I have seen as they all seem to get the style pretty dead on. Also it seems odd the PM would point out, and even repost stuff made by gamer jackers

OOG:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I agree with you Jono, but I really have no idea how it could possibly work if we had so many anonymous characters that we were supposed to sort through. It took a week, and a pretty obvious clue from DNC for someone to tweet "please," an idea you had seven days ago.

But then again I also fail to see how someone who has put so much effort and time into filming the videos, creating the storyline, attracting interest, etc. could possibly think it would be okay to blatantly break the TOS of the forum, especially when there are so many other forms of communication between us already set up.

I think it was a combination of the PM and regular idiots.

Yet more OOG, sorry about this

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Yeah I agree that the people posting here in character are most likley idiots. But I think the mass of random characters is quite clever in some ways, its made us feel confused and lost much like the guy with the tapes. And I have to admit, while I find it confusing it does give the sense of being part of something bigger and that this isn't just our hero and DNC as the villian and that there are more people and motives within this. But I do agree that it is very overwheling and it would be good if we can seperate characters out somewhat so we know who is who


Also a bizzare shot in the dark:

What if its all DNC, all of the random e-mails, as he doesn't seem trustworthy (understatement). But also he is a mimic, he is mimicing other killers from History, whats a defining factor of well known killers? Copycats. So could he be making up several copycats (the random tweets and e-mails) to make his copycat of other killers be even more accurate to the original killers?

When I think about it, what has donotcontinue contributed to this story? Sure, there have been puzzles and messages, but they have all been vague and (as far as I have seen) separate from the narrative presented in the videos from mydadstapes.

To be honest, I have been losing interest because it seems like he does little more than ramble and get people to spend time on tasks that provide little insight into this mystery.

Well, dnc is the "bad guy" in all this, he is supposed to confuse us and frustrate us, because that is his part in this story. He is insane, and he is going to act insane because he loves the attention. His puzzles are mostly just for fun so far, no stunning revelations have come from them so far as i can tell...although he is setting us up for his first kill. What I find really weird, is that dnc gives US all his attention, he seems to just ignore mydadstapes lately, despite the fact that mydadstapes has discovered that dnc has been filming things from the area he lives in O_o
