It seems to be more of an indication that the mystery is continuing than a new clue.
What do you people think of the IM ondisplay thing?
Has it been ruled out and I don't know yet?

I don't think the username came online yet or something.
I dunno though.
I've just been lurking in the AFI messageboard mystery thread.
I still think that the "Read the lines in the mirror through the lipstick trace" is
something.
It's connected to the Hunter video in some way.
It has to be relevent..

That's what I was thinking, but than someone said something about the 'through' part and that killed it.

Have you been on http://www.unoeil.com?
Well at the end it says "I'M on display", so people thought it was telling them to IM ondisplay.

I sort of wonder about those red words, too.
Nothing's happened with them yet, right?
But the "read the lines" thing seems to me to show you that the thing's continuing and that it's LLW connected.
But why the TLSP2 cover in the video?

People are saying thathttp://www.unoeil.com/ doesn't have a point any more.
If you click on "don't" "believe" and "pain" in that order, it'll bring you to one of the websites.
Apparently it has no purpose any more. But you never know..
And I dunno about TLSP2 cover..

If it has no purpose, why leave it up?
Just wondering.
It could just be so people could follow the mystery, but you gotta wonder.

I thought they would have taken it down too.

This mystery is annoying me so much. XD
I can't sleep properly because I think about it in bed for aaaaaaaaages.
And then when I do sleep, I dream of the mystery and all things AFI.

This was posted on a blog on MySpace.
I dunno if any of you know about this myspace. it's www.myspace.com/charlotteclandestine


The Widget Hoaxes

Finally, I've found some time to get everyone straight on what happened the morning of November 17th.

So. It all starts with the release of the Love Like Winter expanded music video on Yahoo! Music. The video itself is pretty cool, opening up with the end of the Interview. During this new beginning to the video, however, some interesting images flash before the screen.

The first 4 images are thing's recognizable from past clues; Davey's Mummy video, Hunter's apple video, Adam's flower video, and Jade's writing video. The fifth image, however, is something we haven't quite seen before.

The image is of a snake that has appeared on a few pieces of AFI merchandise (Sing the Sorrow's vinyl release, for example). Plastered onto the image is a bit of Icelandic text that resembles "prirprisJo" in roman characters. This text translates into a set of numbers we should all be very familiar with by now. "337".

Someone had the brilliant idea of adding "prirprisJo" to their AIM buddy list - it would not be unlike AFI to make such a screen name to supply clues with.

Well, it was a screen name, and it logged on with a mysterious profile and vexing away message. We were given a phone number and a strange, winter image. When the number was called, the ambiance from Synesthesia's demo version was heard playing.

Click here to see Sarina's video, summarizing this.

With the news widget's countdown close to end, all of this seemed to perfect for coincidence, and it was believed that this new AIM name would provide clarity on the issue as soon as the countdown hit 00:00:00. The night of the 16th, a myspace using "prirprisJo" as it's nickname popped up, commenting AFI's page with the current counter times.

---------00:00:00

"prirprisJo" logged onto AIM when the widget ran out, and immediately put up a new away message that stung and shocked the most of us. It declared that we had all been fooled, but on a side note, the PS3 was coming out that night.

Legions of people following the mystery snapped. The hoaxer behind the "prirprisJo" AIM began receiving some very, very angry phone calls.

As for the myspace, it had been run by a very misinformed hoaxer, who at the end of the countdown put up a bastardized version of xModernxManx's summary in the myspace's blog, with the events of that night treated as fact, rather than a large hoax.

I have talked with both hoaxers. They operated entirely separate from each other, and should not be treated as a unit.

With that, we are at square one. Nothing has become of the Love Like Winter video, or the news widget.

Ahem.
Thisthreadmustbeonthefirstpage.
Thankyou.

Umm.
I want a "where are the five flowers?" button. But the reason why I want one is precisely the reason why I can't get one.
