It's the one a few days before Halloween. Kinda far down the list.

Ahh excellent, thanks for pointing that out Meredith, that's also the tweet where he alludes to crossing the abyss, so then:

XII The Hanged Man
[no annotation]
I The Magician
"@mydadstapes i will perform a trick 4 u. ø"
XI Justice
"@mydadstapes i will lead u where 2 go. u r ready. u crossed in2 the abyss. but for each step there must be a sacrifice."
IX The Hermit
"@GnashGrindGrift knowledge ø" in response to "@downthispath "Death might not be the end"? What comes after?"

Does this break in manner of exposing cards signify that Gnash may've advanced the game somewhat with his question?

12, 1, 11, 9... added together is 33. Nothing significant to me. And unfortunately this doesn't yield a "page-line-word" triad.

I'd forgotten about the abyss allusion, I recall thinking that this might lead to a puzzle involving the qabalistic tree of life which has an area known as the abyss. For people doing magickal workings around the ToL crossing the abyss is a critical moment where they experience a "dark night of the soul" and are challenged a great deal.

Now, positionally as a sequence XII, XI and IX almost make sense on the tree of life, those paths are just below the abyss. But I stands away from them, is that because DNC sees himself as The Magician, and having crossed the abyss he is above and different? If that's the case, then who do the other three cards signify? (It's not uncommon to use trumps to represent individuals)

I tweeted to him to test this hypothesis. http://twitter.com/maximus_freeman/status/135105168634167296/photo/1

I understand some of you wanting to step away, but come on and buck up, too real or not we might as well try to solve the mystery whatever it might be. Just don't give him easy access to your personal details and don't give him attention unless you have to. It looks like he's just dumping a lot of noise.

We need to figure out what the "magic word" is for the game to progress I reckon.

[OhWhatProvidence]

I thought we had already figured out the magic word?

I need to start going back over the whole trailhead every once in a while.

[maximus]

I'm assuming we didn't because his subtitle or whatever on twitter is still "what's the magic word?" and I'm short on ideas *shrug*

It looks like MDT is going to check out the warehouses. On my phone or I would link. I wonder if he'll see the 'masterpiece' DNC is talking about.

I have a feeling he should bring a weapon with him...

So DNC didn't do anything yesterday, I guess 100/100 has some other meaning.

In the Dream book there were 90 markings beside the list of states. We know DNC knows the meaning of what's in the book so he'll know what that list means. If the list refers to victims maybe the 100/100 does too. His masterpiece involves 100 victims?

If that's right, there 92/100 so far, 8 more and it's 100/100

Something DID Happen at what I assume was the warehouses MDT visited yesterday. DNC wants it shown now.

I wonder if MDT did get hurt, judging by the wound in the twitter picture, it's either MDT got hurt and DNC has footage of it [He and MDT met?!?] or else DNC is just screwing around around with random pictures he found online and they don't have a meaning like he does sometimes. Or he's screwing around with random pictures he found online and it's symbolic of MDT getting hurt.

We need something to call MDT. An actual name. I don't mind calling DNC DNC because I don't see him as very human, but I care about MDT so I think he should have a name to humanize him. At least make it less confusing in a way, the MDT killer vs the one running the MDT account, the son of MDT killer. DNC is just one person both running the channel and making the videos, so him being DNC is fine.

I vote for Joe. He seems like a Joe. or John, since we don't know his name.

Kay, so... do we have an interactive bit to the "blm tip one" thing? Or am I just wishing too hard? Is it just the start of another story arc for DNC maybe? Another mission, now that his masterpiece is possibly complete? Or just another peek inside his brain?
They've really done their work on how killers start small and escalate. Neato. Profiling DNC just gets more and more fun to try and do.

Pied Piper and now a rat king.. another motif or just something else? Hmm. Something else to think over at least.

Pied Piper leads the rats out of the village where they were being a pest. Perhaps this goes back to his mission of keeping the world in balance. They were being pests. And now... he wants to be paid back somehow? But the iamtheratking... I'd have to actually research just what a rat king is [aside from being really freaking creepy looking] to speculate on that properly.

Kay, enough spec for tonight. See ya'll in the morning.

The wound picture DNC tweeted is definitely just something he found online (it's been online since 2009). I wonder though if he posted it just because it looks like smiley face or because something did happen to MDT that he knows about? It's a bit worrying


His video is pretty much the same as the other accident scenes so I presume we can expect another victim soon.

Also the "blm tip" What does he mean by "start with random acts". Maybe he means if we want to "save" people and "put the world in order" the way he does we should start by finding random acts of violence (like the accidents) where people should have died but didn't, and find a victim.


Also the title "pay the piper". At first I thought he saw himself as the piper in the story. In the story the piper warned the villagers to pay him or else they'd be sorry. So if he's the piper then "pay the piper" is a warning that he's not being appreciated for what he's doing.


That doesn't fit with the "iamtheratking" though, which implies that he's the rats in the pied piper story .


I've noticed that his attitude to MDT has changed. For a good while he was constantly warning MDT to stop and know he seems to be urging him on.

I think the "random acts" tip might be referring to the escalation of a killer, they start off with random act of violence then start escalating into killing, then serial killing. It would make sense that DNC would start off that way since that's how all/90% of serial killers start off. I like the Final Destination-ish theory though, Gnash.

The iamtheratking could be referring to him being the King over the rats, as in he has the power to lead them away like the Piper did. It's interesting to note that the original story was the Piper completely malevolent and led the children to their death unprovoked, but later editions add in the rats and he leads the children away as revenge for not being paid... The "pay the piper" is obviously referring to the latter tale, but... what is the payment, and what is the consequence for not paying him?

He has said things about worship before, but then he began denying it once we asked him. He tends to do this a bit, I've noticed. He'll say something and we ask him about it and he denies saying it. Has anyone else noticed this?


EDIT: Researching the Pied Piper story. Found a lot of intersting notes:
1)The Piper was meant to be symbolic of Death, with the pipers song being the Dance of Death.
2)I also noticed that it's another medieval reference, like the tarot cards, correct? I want to say he's made other references to medieval times, but I'm not certain.
3) The Pied Piper was remade into a story called "King Rat" which set it in 1998.
4) The pied piper is defined as "a charismatic person who attracts followers" This fits into possible Worship Me mentality.
5) The most interesting one yet, in my opinion:

Additional notes on "rat king".

In the description for "pay the piper ø" DNC links to http://tinyurl.com/iamtheratking -- a picture of a rat king ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king_(folklore) ), being "[a] phenomena said to arise when a number of rats become intertwined at their tails, which become stuck together with blood, dirt, ice, excrement or simply knotted. The animals reputedly grow together while joined at the tails."

Maybe DNC is more than one person?
