WIKI LINK

Nice catch! Maybe it's 'White Sands' due to the Lewis Foods' New Mexico connex & Milo saying: "I WALKED THE WHITE SANDS A DIFFERENT MAN." And what does he mean with: "IF YOUR FLESH IS YOURS AND ONLY YOURS YOU MUST GO TO THE WATER." ? My guesses are pretty *heebie jeebie*. Shocked

And, Yaha, THX to SA/force5 for the useful WIKI Link. For those just wading in here even the speculation passages provide good background info imo.

Good thinking Amandel, it looks like it would fit there too.

Could returning to the Water be something to do with growing humans in a lab - some cloning perhaps? Certainly Milo's comments suggest he's died and been reborn from the Water a number of times. Also, the audio file which could quite possibly be from the Water given it's name, sounds very much like a heartbeat (the "circulatory action" bit in the tag backs this up I guess). Or perhaps it's more sinister, as Grimm7756 speculated, and the dead bodies the Gardeners pick up are brought to the Water to be used as hosts for...well, whatever is down there. Shocked

I've been lurking on this one for a while, and I want to offer a theory. Is it possible that Milo's "Her" and Reificant's Queen are opposing forces in some kind of war? The Queen is described as dead in an early tweet, but then seems to be living more recently, when Reificant had to answer the treason with violence. Perhaps the water that brings people back to life (?) created both the mother and the queen, who now hate each other??

I'm a fan of wild mass guessing.

Hiya. I don't think anyone's brought this up before, I looked through the thread, and I just wanted to mention: n0w1kn0w is following reificant on twitter. Is that maybe a sign the two things are related?

Boy, Zack Parsons sure lives his 'alternate history' and 'humans becoming something else' themes... Read Instruction for a Help and That Insidious Beast, and those seem to be recurring themes at least among this and those two.

This looks interesting, but I'm afraid I don't have much to offer on it, but I will likely be following along at least.

Hidden Text on Milo.htm

Posting this because as I read through the thread trying to catch up, it was unclear as to what Amandel was referring to at first. (I thought she was talking about "behold" also) lol.

Welcome back, natas. Smile We were talking about "behold". That's the clickable hyperlink (far bottom left on the nbrs. htm) which leads to milo.htm with its hidden text.

Also Reificant yesterday on twitter wrote:
12.5.11 You will follow Bishop to his doorstep. He believes the water a resource. To the Gardeners it is salutary. They are both mistaken.

Maybe Reificant's numbers are a date, Dec. 5th, and not a biblical passage this time? And is Bishop's "doorstep" the Threshold Mass Lab also mentioned on page 4?

So now we have at least three factions, the Bishop group, the Gardeners and Reificant.
Each value The Pit for different reasons either financially or spiritually.

One of the hidden pictures from 'beginning' was identified on the Something Awful boards. This Wired article is quite informative.
http://www.wired.com/thisdayintech/2010/05/0510transcontinental-railroad-completed/?iact=hc&vpx=538&vpy=148&dur=1578&hovh=189&hovw=266&tx=183&ty=96&sig=101445534415039943979&ei=ZHrSTpv4FMnssgbv4am6DA&page=1&tbnh=126&tbnw=175&start=0&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0

I think a key passage is
Quote:
The Central Pacific was funded by the famed "Big Four" – Leland Stanford, Collis Huntington, Mark Hopkins and Charles Crocker — and relied on recent Chinese immigrants from California and Mormon laborers from Utah to perform the often deadly work of installing rail ties and blasting through mountains.


Uncanny parallels, swap Chinese and Mormon for Type 1,2,3.

bishopunlimited.us

Why would there only be a link to the cgi-bin subdirectory? Kinda odd. He had to know we would find this site. Was it done on purpose?

No.

It's default-created folder by the system when a new domain is added at his shared host.

I've designed many website and have used both dedicated and shared hosting. I've never had a site default to the cgi-bin directory.

Regardless, that point it moot. What I was addressing was the fact that they left it like that.


EDIT:

Seems the PM's are quick! Changed to a "under construction" image.
