Drawings/sketches on Dr. Seuss pages

OOG, Jeromy said that he had two plot directions, one with a strong relationship with the LG15 plot, and one without. Since he didn't get the kind of response he was looking for from the LG15 creators, he's going with the plot direction without an LG15 connection.

So... even if Zipp might have been Jonas's dad in an alternative plot direction, we can be pretty sure that now he's not.

would have been awesome, but just not the way it worked out.

More information from the chat I missed?

I'm pretty sure he told us that in a video.

Also Giddean,

You're assumptions about the age of the child are dead on.... if the book was bought brand new as soon as it was published and given to the child.

However, the book could have been bought used (like 35c from a thrift shop??) or the book could simply have been bought new, but could be a later printing.

Great thoughts... just don't put yourself in too tight of a box. As careful as Jeromy was to leave plot elements for "IG" discussion... I still believe some of the vids and chats are probably peppered with clues even if minute. I do agree with one assumption however:

I think we can safely say that these doodles are not meaningless.

One last question: What other songs were mentioned in that Wiggins song? Yankee Doodle may be the one... but it may not...?

O boxes don't scare me friend. Some of the best things in the world are kept in boxes. I also had made a ladder made of if's if of course I had to climb out.

So an answer video that was supposed to not speak of plot of puzzles smashed my little box you say. That is unfortunate. I do hope this will not make people focus on all the dotted "i"'s and crossed "t"'s of the answer videos instead of the clues themselves.

I see where you would be correct. We don't know who Zipp is the father of, and now, whats worse our 3 suspects are gone. We don't even have a bench to sit on.

As for your question-
Other songs in the battle of manassas:
The Girl I Left Behind Me, Dixie, Star Spangled Banner, Marseillaise Hymn

I am personally partial to The Girl I Left Behind Me. The title sounds a little more appropriate. But really if it is a musical quote wouldn't the quote be from the lyrics themselves and not the title of the song. I guess I am not the only one who enjoys boxes.

Very poetic, Giddeanx... Dr. Seuss would be proud!

Could Mr Zipp not be Adam's dad?

This idea may have already been discarded...

I seriouslly wonder if he was originally intended to be the biological father of "The New Girl" (Jules or whoever it ended up being..).

Since, as Ignatz reiterated above, the Creators didn't jump on board, Jeromy had to use the "alternate direction" he had prepared.

In any case, I think the first order of business for the forum as a whole is to concentrate on figuring out who Zipp is. Jeromy said he thought it to be one of the easier puzzles. That being so, we should have all of the clues we need when we ask the "right" questions.

Hmmm...

Hmmm...

Wouldn't that mean that Zipp's identity was decided all along, though, and not dependent on the Creators' cooperation?

This is where I have my problem. What part of the game was Jeromy speaking of. Already established puzzles or the future of the game. I was shot down because of one videos now we are back. I really think we should not use Jeromy's answer videos to make backbones for arguments.
