SUPER-8: GAME SUMMARY
Quote:

"Do not speak of this, if you do.. they will find you"


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%FILM SYNOPSIS%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Quote:
Set in Ohio in 1979 and introducing a troupe of six youngsters who are using a Super 8 camera to make their own zombie movie. One fateful night, their project takes them to a lonely stretch of rural railroad tracks and, as the camera rolls, calamity strikes — a truck collides with an oncoming locomotive and a hellacious derailment fills the night with screaming metal and raining fire. Then something emerges from the wreckage, something decidedly inhuman.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%Introduction%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

So, as has been mooted. On a disappointing quiet news day in S8 land I figured I'd summise for those starting out, and also as a refresher for some of the recurring themes etc.,. An awful lot of trouts in the last 72h, but not surprising with 3679 posts over 253 pages. Strongly recommended is wikibruce super8 section http://super8.wikibruce.com/Home which has this and more:

"ALL MATERIALS WERE TO BE TRANSPORTED TO A SECURE FACILITY IN OHIO"
"FROM PRODUCER STEVEN SPIELBERG"

- Truck = 1961 Ford F100, Number plate E6425K
- Childs face Twisted Evil in camera ? significance - Not Eliot from ET

- Super 8 frames intercut into preview
- Wreckage:

- Box: AN/TTQ-1..(Army Navy/Transportable Tracing eQuipment) from surplus stock. It was a portable equipment for air defense centers, used during World War II as the basic elements of the prominent mobile search command centers. It was then field-rate and robust built using particular equipment crates.

Internet Short Trailer:
- Located at: http://adverlicio.us/super-8-movie-300x250-w-steven-spielberg-j-j-abrams/
- Letters found at the end of the trailer spelling:

    Quote:

    VITASRELIC


- Few intercut images, no clear captures yet but appear similar to the original

Speculation
- Wording = Vitas Relic (?Life/living Relic?) (though exact latin doesn't quite make sense)

Super-Bowl Trailer:
Quote:

"Do not speak of this, if you do.. they will find you"

- Two slightly different versions were originally shown; one that was originally shown in the Super-Bowl advert slot, and the other appeared within 5 minutes on the super8 official website. The only difference is in the images present in the super8 camera at the end of the trailer. A third variation appeared 24 hours later on both the official and Apple sites.
- VERSION 1 (superbowl and apple 1): Map, Joshs dad, bloody face, mber, ?insect
- VERSION 2 (s8 site): Missing pets, ?insect, Mber 19
- VERSION 3 (both): Clown head (2 part), suitcase, Septem, ground


- Intercut images available at:

- The latter appears to show AMinker (Joshs dad)
- Several images contain the three dots previously noted on the scientists ID badges, that line up with one another
- Two form a missing animal board (with someone standing in front of it). One flyer can be partially read as:
Quote:

DODGE-Male
4Yrs
Blk & White

- The lettering is visible on two slides:

Newspaper Article
Identifies Gordon Cooper
Gordon Cooper apparently talked about NASA using gifted children for mind control experiments. They were given exercises to try and perfect stuff like telekinesis, telepathy, and other mental powers. They included "intergalactic symbols" to aid communication with extraterrestrial beings.

- Signal home for alien (think ET/Close Encounters)

Old/Probably disproved audio speculation
- Morse code
- Frequency generating matrix format->Semacode->Internet site

Audio file 2: Untitled.mp3
-Appeared 9-9-10.
- Conversation between at least 2 individuals.
- No-one can yet agree on the exact details. The transcript below gives the conversation line by line, and where the dialogue is contentious then it has been labelled as speculation in italics. The maintain objectivity, the options are listed alphabetically. Have a listen and make your own mind up..


Quote:

Speculation
- Conversation between 2 (or possibly 3) individuals.

    Car door/Door closing
    Shop door
    Harmonica
    Counter (shop) Beeping

Guest1: hello?
Host: What happened? Where were you?
Guest1: someone broke into my house
Guest1: was it you?
Host: Don't be foolish. Did they take anything or see anything we've discussed
Guest1: noI don't think so. I think I should call the police
Host: this wasn't a robbery,calling the police will make things worse for you.
Host: Whomever it was was looking for something.
Guest1: they looked through my files.
Guest1: I know they saw the cylinder and the other photos cause they were moved from where I kept them
Guest1: don't think they saw the stuff on my computer, like the picture you sent me.
Guest1: That was my dad, right?
Host: what about the book? do you still have it?
Guest1: No you answer me!
Guest1: Someone just broke into my house and I want answers. What was that picture you sent me?
Host: Your father was a Biospeleologist
Host: He was plucked to work on a project of great importance.
Guest1: For the government?
Host: Yes.
Guest1: What project?
Host: You wouldn't believe me.
Guest1: try me.
Host: We found an important alternative energy source.
Host: It involved foreign matter. But it got out of control.
Guest1: Out of control how?
Guest1: My dad kept something in that empty cylinder didn't he?
Guest1: Is that what they were after?
Host: you are quick. Like your father.
Host: I told you: we found an important alternative energy source. He must have hid it.
Host: do you still have the book?
Guest1: yeah
Host: upload the rest to me using the D12 entry.
Host: I need that coding system.
Guest1: am I in danger? Is my dad?
Host: I don't know
Host: I'm going to post something else I have been working on, something I'm getting shortly from this code.
Host: See if it means anything to you.
Host: We need to find what your father kept in the cylinder. If we find it, we find him.
Guest1: I should shut down my blog, right?
Host: No. Keep posting. Say you were robbe. Say you've involved the police. Lie. You need to act normal.
Guest1: What if they come back?
Host: I am not worried about that.
Host: If they were who I fear is after your father, you wouldn't still be around to speak to me

-Note: Biospeleology = The study of organisms that live in caves

Speculation
- WHAT IS D12 ENTRY?? Are we going to get access to book/cod

Hopefully this has fallen into the right hands. If you are reading this, it means you've found each clue. Wherever I am, I'm grateful to you both for your willingness to help and trust me.

I wish I could be there to explain in person. Perhaps someday.

It's been five days since we left the hospital. I'll try to leave as many breadcrumbs as I can. TROGL and the rest. Use them. As of now, the vitas relic is safe. Safer in some places than others but I'll have to rely on luck to keep it secure until absolutely necessary

Hooklineandminker.com
- Blog of Josh Minker
- Email= hlm1963SPLATyahoo.com
- Details search for Coelacanth
- Show's lots of odd fish - All real
- Mentions he has a friend called Fred (May 9th)
- Contacts an aquarium owner called Shelly xxxxxxxx (that's 8 blanks)
- Contacts a fish dealer called "Mr Wilson"
- Operates under the pseudonym of "Mr. Cartwright"
- Has a "paper" job with a recent (07/07) new supervisor and hours

- 21st August was labeled 112 (nb. 1st 3 fib nos (see speculation)) during a "drunken" posting
- Also in 21/08/10 = Discovered Josh's supervisor is called Sarah, and colleague is called Clive. Commonality to all 3 is that they didn't know their father whilst growing up.

- Joshs has emailed back to several posters, now too many to list meaningfully. Doesn't add anything yet.

- From Yahoo, we know Josh Minker's location is Beckley, West Virginia

- Unexpected posting = 21/8/10 "drunken" posting labelled 112 (provided password for chat icon)


Speculation
- Moon Calander "best time to spot rare fish" hints when to unlock another IG clue such as the RP site. Tidal chart speculation
- RP lunar cycle matches Rare Fish (6th-7th July)
- Looking at printout releases (inverted RP moon) the next one may be due 20-22 July if pattern holds
- Time on Horse Clock (11:36 or 23:36) relates to "Rare Fish"
- Varying background colour on calanders
-Fish in background of the blog is deliberately modulated-nothing found from this
- Is Josh from England (due to tidal charts correlating with Tilbury UK). Counter-evidence against this: Americanisms in writing, references to locations, host domain, trailer.
- 21/8/10 post "drunken" - Possible code based on title 112 (Fibonacci sequence)...By selecting removing all punctuation except stops and parsing according to the fibonacci sequence 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,213 then the message "We land in witu" is formed. Certainly taking the first 8 forms "we land". ?relevance. No other posting displays this pattern (and the replies don't either) ... Or really was just drunk....112 is the web-page reference for the post; preceded by 111 and followed by 113 Laughing
- Josh is somehow related to Coop or mysterio

1. RP registration

- Several space photos of coop, and 2 Topsecret folders SS1 )??Super speedflier) and CC1 (Captain Cooper).

Morse Code:
In the background of RP.com there are 2 distinct MC messages (one high frequency, one low):

    High Freq= WB6GPO
    Low Freq = W6VNR


These do correlate to Ham signs (that are in themselves OOG)
In the opening section (satellite release) there are these main 2 plus approximately 16 other overlapping morse codes (dubious relevance)

Overall Pattern (speculation)
There is a possibility the release dates of clues have been coinciding with famous space dates:
[i]Needs re-evaluating --To Do

[/i]

    May 5, 1961 First American in Space *Trailer and website appear
    May 14 1973 US first space station *Paper advert
    June 2, 1966 First American Spacecraft on the Moon *Audio file
    June 21, 2004 First Manned Private Space Flight *New Print-out
    July 28th, 1964 First closeup photos of moon RP opens


Update: July 13th doesn't have an obvious space date (deviating from rule). At a push (and moving goalposts) July 13, 2305 is Jean-Luc Picards birthday.

Next famous space date is JULY 21st - First man on the moon - will we see something new???
Jul 22nd=Twitter...

Juries out - Looking less likely

FILMING
*See the official set photos thread. As this is all generally considered OOG (the clues will/should be available independent of filming leaks) this has be moved elsewhere to keep the game summary manageable- Any objections let me know and I'll put it back

Not that it matters much, but I think bostonfisherman is not actually a GJ but only an OOG coincidence - according to whois, the creation date goes back to 2009.
On the Cepheus constelation, I let it roll in another thread but for a summary I'll try to make a point: The relation of the pins (and for that matter, the stars in the teaser) hardly make a breathtaking match... Actually, if one is willing to give in to the "close enough" approach, there are tons of potencial constellations to match with. One of the curious ones (at least more than the cepheus or even cassiopeia) is Volans (the flying fish...). Eitherway, I don't think that link will amount to anything important...
Finally, and since I wasn't around during previous ARGs (namely, Cloverfield), is it normal to take this long for new clues (I'm with the ones who dismiss FB account as GJ)? I don't really know what kind of rythm to expect... Razz Maybe things start to unfold quickly as the release date for the movie approaches?

Nice Job on the Summar

Very nice summary and timeline. However, I believe you have the truck license plate as E6465K and it should be E6425K.

And thank you for putting that all together for us.[/b]

Question for the Mods...

Can we sticky just the original post and remove the reply's? It would make it much easier to navigate without all the other "GJ or not" arguing. I know Vapor already did something similar to this, but multipsychoapopheniosis summary is way more involved and may put a stop to some of the trouting going on right now. Thanks!


P.S. Nice work multipsychoapopheniosis! Wink

If you are referring to Vapor's list of references, that's more just a collection of links, and includes many things not directly relevant to the storyline. This thread is more like the 'story so far' threads of days past (originally popularized by konamouse, the massive megaposter of uF). I don't think this so much conflicts with that.

I do think we should keep the debates out of this thread, but if we were to split what's here now, we mods need to know where you think it should be split to.

I'm good with making this topic a sticky, and I'll do so if there seems to be a consensus.

Thanks!

This was so helpful! I've been lurking for a while and reading as much of the threads as i can, but some of them are 50+ pages and i missed a few details. This was great help. (:

Million dollar question...

Well sir, that is the million dollar question. Other than the first post this thread is mostly just brownies or arguing. I really have no idea how to split it.
