The tumblr post I'm referring to is here.

Nicole mentions how she hears growling on her night walk last night, and she suspected it was coyotes...though she thought it odd that they would get so close to the neigborhood, even at that hour.

First (only) one I got was "MDD, single episode, in partial remission" at 8:46 PM EST. Don't know if that's relevant though.

Edit: TallulahBelle, what kind of letter replacement did you do? Since they were talking about books, it could also be in a "page.word/letter" format?


300.12 – Dissociative Amnesia = 12
296.21 – Major Depression Disorder, Single Episode, Mild = 21
296.40 – Bipolar I Disorder, MRE Hypomanic = 4
296.90 – Mood Disorder NOS = 9

and so on.

Do we have references to any other books?

I'm willing to bet that the B stands for Blackwell as in daddy Blackwell and he is trying to tell us something.

Edit: He is. And you were right. First try of simple letter replacement gives OLLDUSLO STOP LOOKING. I'll try to figure out whats wrong with the beginning.

Edit 2: Baby steps: HOLD US LO STOP LOOKING. Zobot, you sure about the order?


Oh. It's probably "told us to stop looking", isn't it? Question is who did? Any chance every one who got a disorder can report in?

Got a reply from Nicole. She wants proof that we're on her side.

Understandable. Ummm...pics? Transparency breaks down barriers. We could also tell her about Joseph and Mr. Felt. Forward those emails.

Time to choose sides. And we don't even know which teams are available.

Edit: Also, please ask if Joseph is Karens father?

Pictures of what, though? Yeah, I was thinking that we could tell her about Joseph and Felt too. You think I should hold back on anything?

Edit: Sent her a message back with some of the information we have already. Asked about Joseph. She mentioned "the 19th," though I'm not really sure who/what that is, so I asked about that too. I'll post her full response here:

Quote:
Sorry- slept most of the day. Might doze off again here in a sec... ugh. I mean, I'm not trying to be rude, but you have to understand the situation I'm in... I don't really know who to trust right now and all that. Do you have any proof? And any way to prove you've got my and Karen's best interests at heart? I know it sounds rude but I've just been thinking over the past few days, and... yea. Between Karen's parents, my Mom and... the 19th... I'm not sure who to trust about anything.

I was thinking of us, but I thought about it more and it just sounds creepy ha ha. Besides, that's not as convincing as actual information.

Got this back from Joseph. Someone else will have to look onto this. I'm at work. Razz

I don't know if everyone that got a disorder got a message, or even a part of one. Not that it's outside the realm of possibility, but I only got one after emailing the email account several times and trying to start up a dialogue. But more importantly: At this early stage in the game the PM might not have known how many people were going to play. If you're going to break up a message and send out bits of it to each person, you need to know how many people to send it to so you can break it up into bits that correspond to each person, right? Or at least divide it up amongst people.

That last fact makes me think that it's possible that the message we're seeing was exclusively spelled out in the emails I received. Of course, I could be wrong. Let's not rule anything out, you know?

Because people asked me to double-check the messages again, here's all of the conditions in the EXACT order I received them. Most recent are at the top, the first ones are at the bottom:

Friday, 9:29 PM: I'Ve heard That reading can be veRy helpful
Friday, 8:44 PM: maybe you shoulD conSider reading More books
Friday, 8:35 PM: Schizoaffective Disorder
Friday, 8:35 PM: Dissociative Identity Disorder
Friday, 8:35 PM: Mood disorder NOS
Friday, 8:34 PM: Dementia with behavioral disturbance
Friday, 8:34 PM: Dissociative Disorder NOS
Friday, 8:34 PM: Dissociative Disorder NOS
Friday, 8:33 PM: Dissociative Amnesia
Friday, 8:33 PM: Factitious disorder with predominantly psychological signs and symptoms
Friday, 8:33 PM: Dissociative Disorder NOS
Friday, 8:33 PM: Schizophrenia- Catatonic type
Friday, 8:32 PM: Factitious disorder NOS
Friday, 8:32 PM: Dissociative Disorder NOS
Friday, 8:31 PM: Dissociative Amnesia
Friday, 8:31 PM: Factitious disorder NOS
Friday, 8:31 PM: Major depressive disorder, single episode, mild
Friday, 8:31 PM: Bipolar Disorder- Type I, Unspecified, MRE- hypo-maniac
Friday, 8:30 PM: Dissociative Amnesia
Friday, 8:13 PM: Dissociative Disorder NOS
Friday, 7:45 PM : Bipolar Disorder- NOS

It's worth noting that all of these were sent from a "Joseph B." In the name. No idea of the significance, or if it's just the dude's name, but at least we know whose sending it? Maybe?

Also, note the times. If you're trying to send a message, it makes sense that all the times that are 1 minute between would probably be the message, right? I think anything before 8:30 MIGHT be worth discarding to avoid added letters included, but I dunno.

Lastly... wait, Nicole has an email account? I didn't know she had one available.

Could it be the 19th orphran? There must have been 21 to begin with: two are dead, three are in hiding, five are "ignoring the past", one is standing against the odds (Karen?) and ten are ready to attack. One of those is trapped.
I don't know how Nicole could know about them, though.

She hasn't given us her email address yet, but she responded to a private message I sent her on Youtube.

Edit: I think this could be the answer:
THEY'RE WATCHING I CAN'T SAY MUCH YOU NEED TO GET A HOLD OF LOCKWOOD

But the park is called Lochwood Park, so that may either be a typo or a clue?

EDIT: Karen's dad is named Joseph!!

From Nicole:
Quote:
Karen's dad is named Joseph, that's about all I can tell you- rest of it's pretty over my head right now. Er... gimme a sec to sort things out and I'll get back to you. The 19th was when I met Karen-took a couple days to figure out how to upload the video since it was such a large file, that's all.

It could be a 19th orphan, but Nicole doesn't know about the orphans, does she? I think she's talking about the 19th, a date. Wasn't that when the first video "happened"?

That was how I understood it.
