They added a new video to their video playlist today - 146 - Echus. The other instance of Echus is at 140. The video is maybe from 8/10/84 based on the description?

Interesting and good spotting, video 84 is Ready Lets Go.

Perhaps that is the clue?

I've had my eye on that Ready Let's Go video for awhile. I definitely think videos 78-84 are the keys to the next steps - representing the current sum of their likes/tweets.

We have been at 79 for a very long time, in fact they deleted an old tweet from 3/11/12 to dip down to 78 briefly (Hey Saturday Sun) before going back to 79 later the same day after adding Dayvan Cowboy. I talked about all that earlier but that's the recap.

I actually believe in the June 15th theory now, not as an announcement, but to hit step 80. I used to have my eye on June 3rd, but I realize that June 15th works even better with the same theory - the timestamp on Macquarie Ridge is 15:06 CET (I had 3:06 CET in mind previously) - why CET? Use the time zone for whats pictured in the video (Norway) the same way we used Alberta's time zone in the Left Side Drive posts.

Video 90 is 84 Pontiac Dream (15x6)

I think the idea of video 80 (next step) Korona is "circling the sun" meaning that a full year must pass before we get there, which happens on 6/6.

Current guesses on remaining steps:

June 15th (video 80)
July 8th (video 81) (8x7)
August 20th (video 82) (20+8)
September 9th (video 83) (9/9)

That new banner is from late last year, I think. Maybe slightly before the playlist revamp but I don't really remember now.

Anyways, unless something drastic and unexpected changes between now and June 15th (great find on that) I have updated my personal conspiracy corner with my thoughts - changed somewhat since my last post, but I don't see them changing again. I really like my guesses.

Still scratching head, it's very speculative and if they see this, they'll change course again, presuming of course it is intentional which I firmly believe isn't. I think because the enjoyed what warp did for them on the trail to TH, doesn't mean they are at it again but 'just playing'. They're probably having a laugh

I would argue that the course change was built into the puzzle from the very first post (the 15:06 CET timestamp on Macquarie Ridge) not to mention that they began spelling out 15-6-1-7 with the playlist on the same day that they closed out the 2016 pattern and shuffled the playlist order (Open the Light/playlist redesign both happened on the same day, December 8th) That tells us that they were thinking of switching to iterations of 21 instead of 24 from the very beginning, it's not something they just came up with out of the blue to throw people off the trail once people figured out the initial pattern. The length of the break and the change in calendar year are valid reasons for a change in the pattern - if they just stuck to the same pattern progression from last year, it would have been very boring and predictable.

So the pessimist would think that they are trolling, and they are, but the trolling is by design if that makes sense. It's not a coincidence that they put an immense amount of effort into building an elaborate and particular playlist followed immediately by a 4 month period of radio silence to let the conspiracy theorists soak it all in for awhile. After almost 4 months, they've made 2 moves in the span of a week so things are looking up.

MDG's logging in here has nothing to do with our speculation. It was to deal with this.

I think the reason for that was the Joe Kittinger autograph.
Sorry for my bad english.

Sorry to rain on parades but he likely logged in to reply to the Col Kittinger autograph thing. Still, he's alive!

Yeah, I was gonna say, the Kittinger thing is why he came out of hiding - but it's nice to know that he's still in the loop. I know he's definitely not going to comment on the social media puzzle, so I guess someone will have to cook up a good fake if we want to actually hear from him!

To lure an MDG you have to think like an MDG.
