I think we're getting close to the point I pull the plug. I have a confession to make. I built it a little too well. I'll explain this in a little bit.

None of you are asking the right questions.

Like... how did I get all the dubious mimics posted on both main accounts multiple times? Why was a poem allegedly sent from a remailer treated as authentic when an email from DNC's very email address was immediately framed as a hoax? Why am I just around but seemingly silent?

I've certainly shown a capacity for making moves--sometimes big moves--and I've shown my interest to you before now. So, what could I possibly be spending all my time on now?

I've been pretty busy so far being up to no good. Of course, that would take a lot less time if I was in control of everything and didn't have to manipulate anyone.

Fiction?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hahah I made you look--okay maybe I was just busy manipulating you.


I didn't even know what a gamejack was before this thread.

FACT.

I didn't even know what an alternative reality game was when I thunk this whole thing up.

FACT.

4chan made me do it.

FACT.

But... I think I'm out. You build something to waste some peoples' time and slowly expose that everyone but the PM is pretty much functionally retarded. I built it to capture stupid people for reeducation, but my worst nightmare came true when the people caught were too stupid for the device to function. No one here gets it. You can figure out a coded message but you can't figure out that you're being played? Really? No, really? No one here is going to learn from this now. It just keeps wasting more and more of my time. None of you will ever appreciate my gift of knowledge. Now, I am discovering that creepy attracts creepy. Damn! Some of you girls are creepers. Please stop emailing/twittering me now.

Sooooo, as anyone seen DNC's tweets? He's started replying again. He mentioned Paroxitine, which is used to treat depression, panic attacks and social anxiety. It's funny that he used the "them" logo for the O in Paroxotine but nothing else. It's most likely just stylsic thought.

Something big is certainly on it's way.

Generally I've been irritated with DNC for providing lots of replies with no new information, but in his tweet to me last night he has embedded several symbols known to be part of his repertoire in an image: http://twitter.com/downthispath/status/136717801061761024/photo/1/large

I see:
100/100
A line drawing representation of the hanged man
An image of a hung person in a stairwell
The null sign, but this time also represented as a sun

Questions:
What is "JAMBAU + ANGDAD"?
Can anyone make out the text on the computer screen? It looks like:
I ____ ___ __
__ ______

_ ___ I've __ ___
__ __ ____

He's really highlighting the hanged man symbol.

What riddles or puzzles do we still have open with DNC?

OOG:

Mods, can you please ban Votarist from this thread? This game is hard enough and this dude is a real egotistical heap of shit.

Here is the original. The Jambau + Angad is meaningless for us.

It's the doiop 100/100 riddle picture.

(Jambav and Angad are just names.)

The basketball scores where from January 28, 1986 - the same day as the Challenger crash. The scores might have come from the Arizona Daily Star. If they did, then maybe his dad was in Arizona in 1986?


I tried to find out when the other camera from the storage unit was made but I'm not sure. It's a GAF XL125. I think it was first made in 1973 (I can find references to manual published then).

As MDT's girlfriend flicked through the bible I noticed that something is highlighted.

I wonder why the numbers from the book where written on the wall?

Hey ya'll, it's time we got a bit organized. There's a lot of information we have missed, doubtless, due to the amount of media and time there is to comb through.

This tweet (http://twitter.com/MyDadsTapes/status/136945211648651264) gave me the idea to start a wiki, for our own investigation and for MDT's also.

If I understand the ACLs on wikidot correctly, this should be wide open for ya'll:
http://mydadstapes.wikidot.com/

I've started with a large top-level outline of stuff we ought to examine categorically. Feel free to reorganize as needed, provided it's productive.

I'm going to start working through this thread and twitter to get the info MDT asked for.

I thought I had archived all of my DNC emails in Gmail, but it turns out I must have deleted them instead. Unfortunately that means that I have no links to the pictures he sent me via e-mail. I am pretty sure that I linked or posted everything that was pertinent to the story line.

Thanks for setting up the wiki, Maximus!

Okay, so DNC confirmed that the 100/100 is that he wants 100 followers. I suppose we should start letting others know about the game and see if they'll participate? Or even just follow him and do nothing else? MDT has 136, but DNC only has about 30. That's a pretty radical difference.

Also, I got a text alert saying something about MDT's girlfriend getting her headlight smashed, but I can't see it on the page when I pulled it up on my computer. I suppose that DNC is implied to have done this?



Somewhat offtopic:
It still surprises me how young DNC seemed in the video, just going by his build anyway. It was just a quick shot though, and it's not as if we could see his face to confirm, but he seemed older to me. I dunno, it just shocked me when I was rewatching it.

Hi everyone.

I updated the The Lockbox Contents page on the wiki: http://mydadstapes.wikidot.com/the-lockbox-contents. There is now a table with the state/tally pairs from The Dream Game, and links to the images of the objects in the lockbox.
