I would only consider Howard's account IG if he posted relevant photos of himself that were not screen caps and could not be found anywhere online already. Even though it's true that it does seem to go against his character.

Official Instagram Life Gif thought.

The money in the front of the board. The second one from the left isn't a piece from LIFE. It doesn't match a Promissory Note, Insurance or Denomination. The one on the end as well could be a Promissory note that faded,Or an off-color print of the Insurance.

Front of the board closest to viewer -- From left to right: The third thing in is the 20k Promissory Note. The next is the 20k bill, and the third thing over is the 100k bill. The other two things don't belong, or are other things.


Back of the board furthest from viewer -- From left to right: They could be more Promissory Notes, hard for me to tell, then 100k, 50k, then 10k, then, 20k. The stack of cardboard is the insurance card pile.

For reference, I used this picture of the 1977 contents of the game.

I never owned this one, and thought it looked weird.

For the love of tacos please format that link to unbreak the page. Hopefully I'm not the only one having the problem, but it's messing up my phone browser.

Thank you people for clarification with #Winnerwinnerchickendinner. For me it brings some new tension into the story.
Till now it was a story about a ParanoiDad, Capturedgirl and third person in background (with unclear background). The aspect of game playing was part of survival mode (for not going nuts in isolated bunker). ParanoiDad was desperated or already defeatistic. Michelle was in the role of victim (with developed Stockholm syndrome?).

Now this playfull hashtag seems to grin to me with a bad smile of a Steven Kings clown
(in this context). Somebody is playing foul game? ParanoiDad? Or the second guy?

...

About Twitter, I am also unsure. At the one hand, he posted only seemingly unrelated element so far. But if it's a Gamejack, it's a fine one, because usually such gamejacked characters literally shout all ARG elements around, in order players would snap this bait immediately. This one is cryptic one. Sympathetic.

I'm in Zoolander 2 right now, and I had to pull out my phone to post about the trailer!!! It was the first trailer, with a very quick flash at the end of something new!

I should have recorded it!!!! But I feel so guilty doing that. :/ I'm sure it will appear online soon, since not everybody has my morals. It looked like maybe a bunch of newspapers? I couldn't really tell, but it was different from the two that have been posted so far.

"Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" comes from american casinos during {i forget what decade, but probably during the depression} - I believe it was black jack {although now i'm questioning if it was roulette since the LIFE spinner is more roulette wheel, but I digress...} tables needed to get attention of possible players, so if someone would win, it ended up being the price equivalent of a chicken dinner at the casino.

And yes, I very much think this may be more Immersive Fiction than ARG.


WWCD is heavily used in the movie "21" about Blackjack card counting

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478087/

pretty good film imo

Interesting, but fully unrelated detail: in "21" and in "Cloverfield" acts the same actress Liza Lapira (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0487594/?ref_=tt_cl_t5) - in Cloverfield rather briefly at the party, in "21" very prominent. Just wanted to broaden the white noise here Smile

Two different cars...?

I was browsing through the images uploaded by 'Cloverfield Clues' from the Superbowl trailer, I noticed something, and don't know if we already covered it - the car MEW is driving when she hits the guard-rail is a bright red...but the car she's running away from by the cornfield looks beige-ish:

http://imgur.com/a/TQ5kZ

Further down in the pictures, where the explosion-fireball happens...that looks like a beige trunk-lid MEW is leaning into, as well.


Has Megan been 'borrowing' (aka, hot-wiring) cars, like the survival guide shows her 'how-to', trying to get to Louisiana and Howard...?

Confused

Yes, these are definitely two various cars. In the beige one somebody is sitting and alarming here back, while she is running away.

I suppose, this beige car belong to the scenes, as she already escaped the shelter, but for some reason comes back.

Yeah, much as I mistrust twitter eggs, I also don't think Howard would willingly put anything identifying on it. If you click through the profiles on the prepper site they're very anti-showing their faces. And the fact that whomever this is hasn't spilled the beans yet is suspicious - jackers have a hard time not immediately toying with their victims. As I said, that twitter's been up for a couple days - location and prepper site stuff there before we got the new letter/knew that stuff for sure. It's possible it's a good guess. I'm not sure either. Just keeping my eye on it, that's all.

Also I cound a very similar monkey to our monkey:

http://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/illustration/monkey-sailor-royalty-free-illustration/181254048

Thing is, it's not exactly right but it's sooooo close - and it's a vintage stock image. Might be based on something else, an older reference. Our monkey looks less cheery. It was like fourth in google hits for "sailor monkey" so this is not any google fu I have it was easy to find.

No links to the astronaut picture peoplle were also talking about yet?

So i'm a little wary of trying to do anything much with these trailer images right now since they're such crappy quality, but a reddit user posted this

https://www.reddit.com/r/10cloverfieldlane/comments/45c89d/trailer_picture_megathread/czx5v5b

Waaaay at the bottom of the megathread. I actually think it looks like there's an 8 on one shoulder and maybe a 6 in the other.

68 is the same number the football player is wearing.

I kind of wonder if that means these two pictures denote Howard. Perhaps 68 is the year he left High School Football and enlisted to become a sailor monkey? Then was a Radioman in Vietnam in '70?

Goodman was born in 52. In 68 he would have been 16/17. The enlistment age in the US is 17.

Oh wow. When Howard was his daughters age he was in the shit. That's some nice mirroring. Also might explain his PTSD meltdown, as those sorts of things can be very triggering.

Edit: sailor monkey it actually says 8 - 9 or something like it. Still too early to say. Still, given that there was an army draft and Howard went into the navy, it's safe to assume he enlisted at some point before '70, and maybe ASAP after high school to avoid the draft. So 68-70.

I really shouldn't speculate on such an unknown, but maybe 89 is the year he left the military?

Or they're all random numbers. Shrug.
