Alright, sluths ... lets put everything we need to analyze here. This includes all clues ... the new video, the drop, the list .... EVERYTHING.

Let's put it all in one place so we can start to ANALYSE. :lol:

The video:

Tachyon's YT page:

And the drop clues (I'll put them in after this)

And there's this from Op's profile:

What is the name of the person who betrayed our trust? Tachyon.

Identifying the enemy allows us to HINDER their actions, which is an effective means of PROTECTION.

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action...

The time is now.

Some things are secret for a reason. There are people whose lives are dedicated to keeping them that way.

The SD Card:

I think I have this straight, but feel free to tell me I'm stupid if something is wrong.

On the SD Card were the following clues:
* A picture of a compass: http://www-scf.usc.edu/~cjguerre/4954.jpg
* A video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UORaVbuAFyA
* A RAR File : http://www-scf.usc.edu/~cjguerre/594f55275245
* And some code:
LEFT SIDE:
54 49 4d 45 20
54 4f 20 47
4f 3f

RIGHT SIDE:
50 4c 45 41 53
45 20 46 49 4e
44 20 4d 45 2e

Moving right along ...

The Rar file, when someone (don't know who) got into it, had a bunch of binary codes.

When decoded, there was a list:

Cu_Roi
ixlr8
luv2luvem
cluechaser
MintGurl
Melissab718
hummingcrab
stevedx669
theratdiva
pikales
skawjw
tiltingwindward
ladron121
warpylol
ravensgrace
gemmers19
pikales
TheChessboardWoman
twjaniak
chixor1
romanceismusic
jengels2002
Frederikke
briska06
surrealisticpill

This list has many of our YT & Forum names, along with the YT account of Gemma and warpylol.

Also, I believe that someone decoded the code clue into:


TAG, YOU'RE IT.

This is also on Tachlyon's YT page.

Sad Panda, wasn't that list of names originally numbered? Do you think it's important if it was? I also think it is strange that Pikales name is listed twice..

Has anyone gotten a screen shot of the green wording at the top of the Bree goes bowling clip? It shows just briefly..

I have a feeling that everyone is discussing this in chat, and not here.. :evil:

i'm trying to learn how to post photos, so forgive me if this doesn't work.
i got a screen capture of the bowling video clue video at about 3 seconds - it's right after bree says that she had a lot of fun bowling, and i noticed something funny in the corner between the frames. i lightened it and added contrast, and this is what i got:

No, this were the filenames on the disk that noa found. I dunno if it was used to decrypt the rar file though... (it doesn't work for me)
