[TRAILHEAD] A Broken Chain
New blog side project

I believe the blogging character's name is Sam.

Look out for subtle clues in odd places, especially for those of you who are into indie music. (Tooth and Nail, anyone?)

(EDIT: This blog does not accompany a game. Sorry for the mistake!)

a quick glance tells me there is probably something going on with the repeated no's.. some lines have double n's at certain spots...

dont know yet if this is significant

The nono's

are acutally binary. Swap 0 for n and 1 for o. Translate and you get:

Guessing there was a mistranscription and the last should be "hate"

The Green Text underneath the No's are lyrics to the song "Lost So Lost" by Children 8:13. Not sure if that's helpful but it's there.

There's also a bunch of hidden text all over the page. It's less obvious in the older posts but this new one has quite a bit of text (text that makes me lean towards ARG):
Quote:
Went to see pdoc today. Nothing too helpful, just a reminder to actually take my meds instead of skipping them. Something about short-term withdrawal symptoms…

I just don't like how they make me feel…

And how they make it mad at me when I take them.

It wants me to let you know it says "Hi" by the way…

*shudder*

Hidden text itali..cised? Made slanted.

an short overview of hidden words:

10-10-12 - words 2
Quote:
alive


11-10-12 - words 1
Quote:
And no one wants that.


11-10-12 - words 4
Quote:
And how they make it mad at me when I take them.

*shudder*


then words 3 on the 11th of October contains the binary code

Just took a looksee on the "Broken Chain" blog and noticed someone has been leaving a lil message in the source code with each of his blog entries:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It is: "-- by Sam, Son Of --". Possibly related to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Berkowitz

OK Theory Time!
From what I understand the messages should probably be taken metaphorically. If it is a metaphor than I can only guess at the meanings. MY best guess is that the Wolves are a group, maybe hit men or a government organization, that use other people to kill those who "Don't Belong" who have the "Visionary" Mark. If this is true it opens up one other question for me. The writer refers to the mark as "My Mark" does that mean that either,
A. The Mark is on him and the wolves are after him, or
B. The mark is his to place and he is sending the wolves after others. OR
C. I have no idea what's really happening and this is all crap.
Most likely C.
{EDIT}
Thought of A New idea!
D. The Wolves are a physiological or supernatural entity that appear before certain people. The wolves present the host with the ability to see "The Mark". The wolves will not stop hounding the host until the "Mark" is killed. But that does not answer the question given to us, What do the wolves want with the Mark?

There's a new post up, and I'm not sure if it's IG or OOG (what with the talk about participating and having to step up his game.. maybe I'm reading too much into this). No hidden messages this time though.

Interestingly the permalink for Words 5 actually ends with Words-6, I tried going to Words-5 instead but it's just a 404 page so I'm guessing it's something done by the website automatically.
