*hits head* Amber! Of course! I've been wondering for days what name 'resin' referenced, and that makes perfect sense.

Also, last night's message has changed. The text for this entry is in a different font than previous entries, and it looks like the 'no' in normal is a lighter shade of gray than the words around it for some reason. The word 'operations' is a link to a file named transcription.txt. When opened it gives the following:

Quote:
your transcription is faulty
here is how it should be

bf°dg′} dg°a_′t
bh°dd′} ``e°ab′t
bd°c`′} d`°ad′t
ba°da′} `b°``′t
be°d_′} `_°h′t

decode this before i rot away
remember: this is only the first step




you have all the names correct
now all you need is to search


EDIT: It's not really showing it in the quote here, but 'i rot away' is spaced out differently from the rest of the message--five spaces between 'i' and 'rot', and again between 'rot' and 'away'. Probably just a style thing, but it was bothering me that it wasn't showing in the quote. :/

I placed my bets on Autumn for the season. That means we got Adam the (missing) first man, Amber the jewel, and Autumn the season.

Guess what?

Holy fucking shit.

Got confirmation from our best friend that Autumn is indeed the season we needed. Also, hoooooboy, Youtube channel! I'm just about shaking with excitement right now at this revelation. Be right back, gonna follow Watcher's lead and do some watching.

I got confirmation on Amber as well. AAA names, eh? Interesting. Will have to check the YouTube channel in the morning. How did we find it?

I've gotten the information from the new man that Adam is correct, too.

After that it was just a simple search that leads to a video, and then the channel itself.

Anyone taken a listen to Adam's voicemail yet? I'm still trying to make out what he says; you can definitely hear 'I had to' at one point, which ties in to that picture from earlier.

I'm so gonna have nightmares after listening to that voice so many times today. :/

Edit: Listened to it a half dozen more times, sounds like he says 'stop looking' as well. Possibly 'sorry' or 'I'm sorry'?

^I can definitely hear "I had to".

Also, ran the voice mail through the spectogram, and it says "at last someones listening to me" and "he's here" respectively.

Very interesting, indeed.

Just realized the Youtube channel lists a website as well. It's a Tumblr with the vids from the Youtube channel plus a few pictures. Also, they've noticed the new subscribers:

Quote:
SlidingSouthwards We just noticed all the new Subscribers. It was just our friends before.. who are you guys? o.O


Wonder if we should say anything, or just continue observing? The only 'rule' we've received from our best friend is that we don't tell them about him, so...

Just tell them we simply stumbled upon there and would like to help/observe what's going on.

I put a little comment on their channel page to that effect.

Also, the link from the newest blog post has disappeared. In the following post:

Quote:
He was there long ago
that is the significance of that place


the second 'that' was a link to around 4:51 of the April 6th video, for anyone who didn't get a chance to see it before it disappeared.

Wonder why that part went away? Things keep disappearing from the blog; I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't start screenshotting/saving things before they can wander off. Sort of making me paranoid about missing something.

I hate to double-post, but seems like something significant is going down. Title/description change for the thread echoes the newest blog post (still no idea what's going on with the numbers in the one right before it):

Quote:
YOU ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE PLAN
STAY AWAY FROM THEM


I'd imagine these are in response to the new tweets from Amber and Autumn regarding the car-crash that resulted from them swerving to avoid someone standing in the road. The guy presumably vanished after the crash, judging from the way they talked about him. Gee, wonder who that could be?

At first I thought he was talking about us (the watchers), since most of the blog posts have been directed towards us so far, but now that I think about it, I wonder if he's addressing Ol' Slendy directly? Since apparently Slender has taken an interest in Autumn and Amber, now. But then that would mean our blogger had some sort of deal with Slender that the faceless wonder is reneging on, which raises more questions than it answers. :/

Forgive me for asking, but...what spectrogram tools did you use to find those messages? Was it freeware, or does it cost money?

Not sure how xcqThieves does his/hers, but I analyze audio with Audacity (free). There's a little black arrow in Audacity right beside the track name you can click to open a dropdown menu. From there, you can change the view to Spectrum and manipulate the sound until you get a picture. There may be better ways to do it, but that's what I've been doing so far. You have to get a plugin for Audacity to save things in mp3 format, but it's still a nifty program, and free to boot.


Also, our blogger has been busy. Another new blog entry, this time with a Youtube video containing what looks like a QR code. I don't have a smartphone, so someone else will have to work on the code, but I'll take a look at the audio just in case there's something there too.

Also also, is there a way to follow that embedded video back to its Youtube page? I don't see the new vid on on SlidingSouthwards' page, so our blogger may have a Youtube account of his own.

EDIT: I'm not getting anything on the spectrographing front. Granted, I'm pretty inexperienced at this, so someone better at spectrographing might want to take a look, but I can't see anything useful in the sound this time.

EDIT EDIT: Turns out there are QR Code decoders online. Go figure. This site gave me the following text when I gave it the code:

Quote:
THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAN
YOU NEED TO RETURN TO ME
IF YOU DO NOT RETURN SOON
THEN OUR DEAL IS OVER
YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THEN A PAWN
NEVER FORGET THAT


Dunno if there's more to it than that, but it's a start. :/

This thread was split from its original thread due to what I believe to be tampering by the creator. I will reiterate here that creators are NOT allowed to post in threads discussing their own series, and that includes editing past posts. If you have any questions regarding the rules around here please read the stickied threads at the top of the forum, especially this one:

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32656


Now... please enjoy this thread under it's new name!

He conveyed nonsense though!

Just joking! I understand the policy.

Here is your QR translation:
