Find Purity Within The Order (Update 10/21)

Post by covedweller »

After much discussion, the symbols were Egyptian Fractions. Some of us even got to do math (homeschoolers eat your heart out!).

Note: These do not appear in the order you are supposed to watch the videos in just to watch them (that would probably be the order they were posted in).

But this order was hidden as a puzzle for some purpose we have yet to figure out or arrange based on something that is in the videos we've yet to decipher.


the order:

1/5 = what ever happened to that girl, cassie?
2/5 = cassie does not rip
3/5 = cassie is lying, cassie tells lies
4/5 = everyone hates cassie
5/5 = the keep attacking cassie


links to the videos (in order):

1: what ever happened to that girl, cassie?

2: cassie does not rip

3: cassie is lying, cassie tells lies

4: everyone hates cassie

5: the keep attacking cassie



10/21/06 at 2:30AM-ish.

OpAphid profile:

The five pieces are in front of you. You clearly see fractions of the larger picture. It's hardly a pure science, is it?

You're off to a good start, but it shall remain a modest accomplishment if there is only order without purpose.

But again, take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which side will you choose?



6:00AM-ish:

"One of you has already found purity within the order."


6:40AM-ish:

"Can you be trusted with a secret you have earned?"

I put the links w/ the watching cassie ones b/c I want someone to take all of the stuff from it and put it together. I think the meaning can't be found until we have the order unless the clue is superficial enough to be in the titles but that seems unlikely. If you can do this and just give like a basic printout of all said in order that would be awesome.

to start with, what other bits and pieces were there from the other thread about what info each vid had that could be put in order?

a quick recap, if you will. :lol:

I think we have already done what you are asking, Captious. I will move it here for clarity, and less digging around.


Reversed audio messages, in the "new" order:

"Hipocricy, a lie is the true sister of evil, intorlerance and cruelty"

"Thou shalt not be a victim, thou shalt not be a perpetrator, and most of all, though shalt not be a bystander."

"The Neutral are the only ones to side with evil"

"It is a sin to believe evil of others, but it is seldom a mistake"

"If ignorance is the root of all evil, then no one knows the truth"


Typed / spoken messages in the "new" order:

"i have judged hastily and harshly"
"i have acted with guile and insolence"
"i have beared false witness and supported false allegations"
"i have taken god's name in vain"
"i have been unduly proud and acted with arrogance"


Large scrolling words:
HELP ME
CASSIE
LIAR
INNOCENT
VICTIM

Using that order, this is what we've gathered so far:

Big text that crosses along the screen on each of the vids:
MaxZyrix wrote:OK I got this:

HELP ME
CASSIE
LIAR
INNOCENT
VICTIM

Still I don't see much sense in it.

What haunts me the most is what she says on her profile: 'By the time you reach the end, will you even remember every sign you ignored at the beginning?'. There must be something we're not taking into account.
Vid descriptions:
Luv2Luvem wrote:Here you go!

Whatever Happened to That Girl Cassie:
Who?

1/5

Cassie Does Not R.I.P. :
Attention leads to invocation.

Rambam. Abenezra.

Baudelaire?

A PAIN HID

Cassie is Lying, Cassie Tells Lies :
Lies have a way of catching up to you, whether it's in this life or another.

If you're not careful, your lies will come back to haunt you.

FRANCIS DOES NOT RIP

Everyone Hates Cassie:
What a poor, lonely girl.

1/4 + 1/20 + ? = ?

They Attack Cassie:
ARE WE "THEY?"

Stop following the Helper, Daniel.
Overhead text:
MaxZyrix wrote:I got this:

You all failed I hate you
Can you hear her?
Everyone hates me
They keep attacking

Does it makes any sense to you peeps?
Messages at the start of the vids:

no clue what else to look at. :roll:
Is there anything we're missing here?

EDIT: Oh! I forgot the reversed text at the end of the vids.

I've been saying this in the chat, but the names of the videos in order obviously outline a plot arc (as Noa put it,) in which Bree mentions Cassie, CiW is born, Op Aphid calls out CiW as bullshit, and CiW dies (which it did,) and then now is Op Aphid going to bring down Daniel like they brought down Cassie?

And 'We are "they," so, Op is the they who is attacking obviously. And with the location bit I think Op is the Order of Denderah, and I think it's what one could think of as a declaration of war against Daniel and any others who oppose them or try to mess with them. And we choose sides.

I agree that we have the order and now we have to give it meaning.

Lets start speculating...it seems to be what Op is looking for.

YES! This is what I wanted. Also if those are Egyptian fractions in each then maybe the fractions in "order" could be something? Does side have to be people? Could it be sides of a fraction? Could the set up of the fractions for 10/20 also indicate that we're finishing a math problem here? I have never played an ARG before and really have no clue what I'm doing these have all just been thoughts in my head. Thanks for obliging me and putting it together though.

Ooooh keep up with that...it sounds tricky enough.

I suck at math though so I can't help.

a girl voices over those statements as the words type on the screen (in english).

The fractions :

What ever happened to that girl, Cassie?

1/5 = 1/5

Cassie Does Not R.I.P. (Rest In Peace)

1/4 1/10 1/20 = 2/5

Cassie is Lying, Cassie Tells Lies

1/2 1/10 = 3/5

Everyone Hates Cassie : What a poor, lonely girl.

1/2 1/4 1/20 = 4/5


They Attack Cassie! Is Daniel Next? He crossed the line.

1 = 5/5

In bold are the numbers as they appear in their video. The others are them added and reduced.

EDIT : Made it the way that made sense... Heh.
