(please point me to the correct thread to read the info.)
there's a theory that where the drop would be is NOT where the ID was originally found: leaving it near a place that sold alcohol to minors would be pretty..... pretty saweet!

but i think little to no work has been done for places called pins and pints (or whatever) near bowling alleys; i say it could be a viable option.

Other clue to the continental lanes....the fact that the vid showed the continents on the globe.

Also, wouldn't Oppy have known that Continental Lanes bowling alley was abandoned before suggesting it as a possible spot in her video?

Thirdly, in the Truth or Dare video, when Daniel is being escorted out of the building, there is a bright white billboard on top of the building. To me, it looks a lot like the sign in the picture of the lanes posted in the Bars and Lanes thread.
Order in your life is meant to build strength and confidence. Without the order, there is chaos. The order, in life, is necessary.

no, just stillshots. She's going to do video if she actually finds it.

RE Continental Lanes:

I posted this in the locked therad at the last second but I thought it was worth the pondering since people are actually out there running around...
Yeah That's right I am quoting myself, I wrote:So if we combine the fact that it is in an abandoned place and that we have WAY too many choices of locations to choose from...

Then I say this is not a drop.... Hear me out...

Why would the PM's send people to a deserted place... Even in the game... It's not cool to "endanger" the players right???

Also... Why make them run rampid? I know it is possible and I personally think it would be fun to go to multiples in a row or even have to go on the hunt... But I don';t think it is relaly practical...

So I think this vid wa just their way of saying that they are getting closer and closer to finding them (BD & J)...

I am TOTALLY open and happy to be proven wrong though...
SO I hope they don't go there when it's too dark! :smt087
I have no clues to offer you... But I know how to download if you're offering!!!

This probably has nothing to do with this but here's the Polynesian Triangle:

and here's the map of the bowling alleys:

i'd say Oppy's triangle bears more relation to the Polynesian one. otherwise, it's sorta reaching, because triangulation is used a LOT; someone said in the locked thread that GPS uses sophisticated triangulation.

I know Jonas said his parents disappeared around the 140th Longitude. While Fiji isn't on the 140th...it is relatively nearby. Fiji would make a inintersting "homebase" - although Australia/New Zealand makes more sense.

Tachy was said to be in Figi on a "recovery mission"... and that area is notorious for shipwreck recoveries and hidden treasure.


Just throwing that out there.

Because Oppy felt it was worthy of her introductory shot. A little "I know where you are and you can't help them. MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHA"
"We cannot resist. Can we Beast?" - Jonas
