STORY SUMMARY
"Will and Abel may be part of or investigating some kind of crazy cult. They were working on some project in or near Savannah, Georgia, oh and Will was there with someone named Bell, who I suspect is a female. But that project failed somehow, something went terribly wrong and Will quickly took off. I think he may have witnessed the outcome of a mass murder or suicide (video of people lying next to each other) or maybe that was part of his dreams (see below for his back-story, and he asks how you can get dreams into a video). Either way, he's paranoid and maybe drinking a bit too much to calm himself. He sounds pissed at Abel.

Mr. Gone may work against him and Abel. There's this back history about Will that Gone has been researching, something about a ritual in which 6 people were found dead and 14-year-old Will ended up in a coma for 7 years. Then at 21 he suddenly vanishes from the hospital. Gone says he feels somewhat responsible for Will's "dreams." So it looks like Gone is tracking Will. Now, Gone found Will's seal with occult inscriptions in John Dee's style, which he had left in the astronomical clock thing in one of Savannah's famous squares. He's offering to give it back to Will, but I think he just wants to lure him into a trap. I'm sure Will is aware of the danger.

There's a lot of mention and imagery of occult and conspiracy theory-like stuff, from John Dee, Francis Bacon, Rosicrucianism, and Blake, to the Georgia guidestones, the NWO, occult music, astronomy, the star Sirius, "Les Invisibles" (whatever that is), and who knows what else that I'm sure went over my head. One crazy idea is that Will might have actually died and he's a ghost or a spirit. The folk tales of will-o'-the-wisp also suggest something like this.

There was that old affair with Gone and Katherine a while back, but Katherine seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. Perhaps Gone took care of her or maybe she went under cover with her brother. Or maybe that's unrelated, although Gone seemed quite involved. Will also said that he knew her but she might not remember him. " (as written by Deagol)

And there is someone on YouTube calling themselves Vertumnalia trying to communicate with Will. One of Will's videos had the name Vertumnalia coded in it.

Will(Sean) lost a "seal" and a memory card to Mr. Gone, who continues to taunt him. The memory card contains memories of his past.

Will decides to make a clean break from Abel. Via code he lets us know that the "seal" that Mr Gone stole was a fake.

Mr. Gone is now threatening Bell (Vertumnalia) to draw Will out for punishment.

Will (Sean) is aware that Bell is in danger, and is rushing to save her.
Mr Gone held Bell captive, He wants the real seal , not the fake. He "took a souvenier" by cutting off her finger. Will(Sean) attacked back, taking Bell and blowing up Mr Gone's lair.

Will left Bell behind and messaged Abel to come and get her. He says that she is Abel's responsibility. We learn that Bell was orphaned at the age of 8 and has been raised by Abel ever since.

Bell goes back to the commune that Abel leads. Abel holds her prisoner, locking her in her room, she is allowed out for certain chores and for a ritual called the "medicine wheel" which may help her heal, but she dreads going to it. Abel says that Bell must be punished because she knows more about the "seal" than she is telling him. he keeps questioning her about it.

Bell and Abel have a trip planned for August; it seems to be to the guidestones, for "religious purposes" and Sean is supposed to be there.

Mr Gone is lying low for the time being.
Will blogs a poem with a Morse message "Call tybee line" ,

Bell posts that Sean wants her to call him, but she has no access to a phone. So Sean makes a video message to Bell telling her to Kill Abel.

Bell is torn between the man she loves and the man who is like a father to her.

She posts that she is going to do as Sean asks, but will have to take her own life to do so.

Mr Gone posted a video revealing that Sean was a hit man, and that his dreams were reality.

Mr Gone has popped up again, producing a video asking a favour of someone named Kris . Kris is a character from London Files.

We have not figured out what Mr Gone is asking of him yet, but it is connected with Waterhouse's grave at Kensal Green Cemetery in London.

Sean also appeared in London Files video 011 labelled as "the hitman"

"haven't heard from you for a while, will-o.
you're back in the game
was i told. "

It appears that Londonfiles and WoW are merging..

Mr Gone posts a video, he witnessed Bell at the medicine wheel. She is unconscious. Abel has disappeared.

Sean claims to have no recollection of making the video with the message for Bell to Kill Abel.
He has Bell in his care, she is "sleeping".

A Puzzling Dilemma

I got a weird email the other day from someone calling him/herself 'dpthrt1596.'

It contained a word: tslmonrudmr. Not really a word, but a seemingly random arrangement of letters, right?

Anyway, this person said the 'key' was in my last blog [ed:vlog] and that I could find the answer in my own writing.

Answer to what? I ask. What could this person possibly know that is worth the effort to inflict headaches on this poor old brain of mine?

Why do people always have to be so mysterious? Just give it to me straight, I can take it.

I know, I know. What a thing for me to say...but I only do what I have to do because I have to do it.

For one thing, I'm terribly paranoid. Which is why this email worries me as it does.

I tried throwing that 'word' into my tagline to see if anyone found it familiar, but so far, these folks are just as stumped as I am.

As much as I love a good brain freeze, I don't really have time to think about it right now. If anybody cares to make sense of it all feel free to drop me a line.

Thanks ~ Sean

Solved by HenrySugar:
In the video, the phrase "fry you like a stripped pig" and the tag 'Pig' suggests bacon, hence, a bacon cipher. But this time he did use it as a steganographic technique. Look at the 24 images between 1:14 and 2:25, making A=b&w sketches and B=color images (the troll is every five images to mark the encoding of one letter).

ABABB (troll break)
AABAA (troll break)

I found something today

After seeing Gone's last video, I decided that the place he wanted to meet was none other than the old 'courthouse square' Wright Square. This place once had a gallows and many people died there. It seemed to fir Gone's plans.

Neither he or Bell were there though. After searching around a bit I came across an old dream journal. The handwriting is certainly mine but the dreams are dated at a time I can't recall. I don't remember writing any of this, but there it is in black and white. The journal will take some time to read, but a more pressing matter concerns the note he left for me.

I recognize the alphabet but there are some inconsistancies that I can't sort out.

I hope I have enough time to work it through. Bell's life may depend on my quickness in deciphering this note.

I've posted the note here in case someone out there can do it quicker than me.

Here's hoping...

LINK INDEX
This is an index of links to forum threads, character profiles, and videos for the Will-O-Wisp (WoW) fanfic ARG-like story. I will try to keep it updated. Please PM me with anything that's missing.


ETA: Those video tags that we've determined as clues are being made into links to their appropriate reference. In most cases the connection is obvious, but in some cases you'll have to search the linked article for the corresponding tag to find the relevance. Sometimes the same article gets several links through different tags so you should search for each one of them to understand the implied overall clue(s). For example, in the first video, once you put together all the tags and their relevance to the Georgia Guidestones, you realize that the message it's trying to send is something like, "there's a time capsule beneath the blue granite stones of the monument at Elbert county, near Georgia Highway 77, commisioned by R. C. Christian, and you should read the Elberton Star article about the mysterious site" (tags in bold). Also, you should check in the replies after this post for the excellent research on these tags put forth by sparkybennett (and others, hopefully).

ETA2, I'm moving all the researched links from the puzzles thread to this one, and adding a few links I found recently. Only a few tags remain unresearched. Thanks to sparky and Henry for their hard work.

WOW where did my WoW threads go? how am I going to update this?

Dani, you know I love you, dear, but I don't see much of a difference, other than they're all in one monster post which is harder to read (there's people that don't care for the puzzles, as well as people that are following the story but just need to catch up with the last puzzle). If the point was to only have one stickied thread, you could have made just the "table of contents" sticky and linking to my other threads, which I could just continue updating. It doesn't make any sense that I need to post my update and wait for you to update the first post.

I don't understand why they needed to be removed, heck, they're not even in the rubbish bin. There was some good research by sparky on one of those threads. I'm feeling pretty trampled by this, and can't see why it had to be done like this. I would've appreciated a PM asking me what you wanted from these threads.

Hmmmm I agree with deagol. Those monster threads are sort of hard to go through. :?

As the pm of this game I would've appreciated a heads up as well.

I can't see what purpose this serves other than to make things more complicated than they already are.

Sparky and Deagol put a lot of hard work into the threads you deleted. Thanks you two. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I'm sorry this happened.

I'm sure she thought she was doing good.

Still, there is no reason to not contact the folks responsible for the threads before they were thrown out. Not even in the rubbish bin. Just gone.

There's a lot of good research and hard work deleted on a whim. I can understand how these guys and gals would be a little upset by that. I know I would be.

Anyway, hey Sean! Love what you're doing. I sincerely hope this little event doesn't hinder your enthusiasm.

I am dreadfully sorry, gang.

You are absolutely right - I was trying to do the right thing, and I obviously went about it the wrong way...and, apparently, in a very big way.

I mistakenly figured things could be deleted since the information was all there. Not good, I can tell. Hindsight is a wonderful thing to have, but obviously the wrong thing, in this case.

I promise, it won't happen again, but that doesn't help much this time.

This is YOUR area...and, I have a hunch, will be moreso, once the forum change happens (which should be soon, I hope)...

If Dani and I, between us, can figure out how to break the post up and re-arrange things in order to put them back into something y'all are happier with, would that work? Just, please, let me know...
Diane, or cher, or even chershaytoute, but "Hey, you!" works, too...

Is Danielle going to follow the story and do the updates
or do we have to remind her when something happens ......

Unfortunately, I've given up on this effort. Not really a result of this shuffle, just too much stuff on my plate right now. Hopefully someone can pick up from where I left.

sparky, I would recommend starting a new thread and asking Diane to sticky it and un-sticky this one. Also, I don't think there's a real need for the puzzles summary. If anyone is interested in the detailed solutions they can follow the links to the discussion threads.

Look for WoW (and other active video series/ARGs) to get their own subforum when the new version of the forum is unveiled! That should help, I hope! :)

I will sticky/unsticky what all/any all y'all want. I'm still in contrite mode (but even if I wasn't) <rueful grin>, you know, you've always got my ear...

I've just sent a PM to Dani to ask if she'll do the updates (above)...

Kay. Here`s what I updated. Sorry for the following odd typing, my computer refuses to leave bilingual mode. Which is awesome for punctuation.


UPDATED
- Added current summary for Wings of Wax video
- Added current summary for Stardust video
- Updated broken links
- Added San Francisco Files links
- Updated Alchemy tags
- Added new WoW discussion threads including video discussion threads.



Just while we wait this week or so out until the new website launch, please PM me at anytime with updates. I`m going to make a better effort to keep on top of this for the next week. I understand that Diane and I overstepped bounds and I`m going to do my best to make up for this. Just one thing I`d enjoy help with is the puzzle update for the Stardust & Wings of Wax videos as well as any other threads & puzzles I missed out on seeing.

But essentially I`m really sorry and will be offering my baked goods to all injured parties. As well as a free*** trip to London to do some real live filing!

But a huge sorry to the players and PMs, and a special sorry to Deagol and Sparky.



***free in terms of spirit, not monetary contributions or lack there of.
