and what a convincing story, you had me fooled there for a moment!
al1ninegrandquest.angelfire.com/
But what I do want to say is it seams more like an elaborate suicide to me. This guy is sad and alone (Al one/1) and makes this game. But no one seams to be seeing it so he solves the first clue and posts a video about it. Still no one is even trying, he goes out to the field makes two sets of foot prints and what seams to be a struggle and kills him self.
That's just my thoughts on it, I may have missed something but what's the likelihood someone would wait for the seeker to show up at the field and meet them there.
On the other hand, why, then, were there two sets of footprints and signs of struggle? And what about the message of the yellow letters?
I'd like to offer another possible explanation: Fortress arrived at the money simultaneously with a second adventurer who had also seen Al1's original website but never stumbled upon Fortress' videos (not many did, after all), and they fought over the prize. It would fit with the 'Pardoner's Tale' theme, I think. In this scenario the body could be either Fortress' or the other adventurer's.
Finally, what about the narrator? Did he really simply stumble upon this all, or is there something he hasn't told us?
but awesome all in all. the video is worth all the work you put into it.
check the url for the video
yoottube.com
can't beleive noone else noticed that

i solved my own puzzle :)
An interesting tidbit for those who don't know... Yellow often represents insanity and madness in Russian literature.
Tnx a lot, Adam The Butcher!
Fantastic job!
I'm working on something for Animate Projects that should release at the end of November. For other stories, you might like "Arcadia" on my website. Although completely different style!
But the style the creativity and the effort required for making such an amazing video is astonishing :)
The pure awesomeness makes up for the Story not being true and for fooling us all :P
I love it :)
That is, (especially in light of the very yellow Adam Butcher's comment about a *third* interpretation) is "Internet Story" itself a treasure hunt?
one more amazing proof that a great film can be made with practically any means available if the story is strong enough!
this wins the internet! (for today at least)
But someone did make a good point of, if Fortress filmed this all on a camera, then how did he upload the footage of the train ride?
The only explanation is that he survived.
In any case, I'm a fan of your work guy!
Btw, for these guys who believe in this story, its fake, sad but true.
4:11, Fortress put up and video 16 may 2005 and 4 days later he made a new video, so he made that one may 20.
6:22 he says he got stuck for 2 weeks, which means he got unstuck and could continue june 3.
6:40 he figured out what the hint was and decided to go to wales, were the treasure is.
7:10 It says He went to Wales 2 days after that, which means he got there 5 june.
8:04 in the top of the screen it says the newsflash was realesed 4 june, which means
the news got out before he got killed.
Earlier in the video Fortress said he was 1 step ahead everyone..According to this theory,
the BBC was 1 step ahead him.
Just sayin'
Really awesome and intriguing story, it would have been even cooler if it was real but it was obvious from the beginning that it was too good to be true, amazing video nevertheless and I find it nice that you came up with a story (though it has it's flaws) which can leave people speculating about it to this extent, not many can do that :)
This story has been told by many, and so far my favorite was The King's Ankus by Kipling from the Jungle Book, but your version, with the added dimension of the media you used has just put Internet Story to the top of my list. Thank you very much for the experience, keep them coming!
And to all the trolls out there: stop proving that it is a fake, stop analysing, stop dissecting - that one moment when you got a shiver down your spine, that was the gift you have received by the creator of this video. Once you have smashed your gift to pieces, all you are left with is garbage.
Its a brilliant pacey piece that is just jaw dropping
until a week ago this video had 2000views and was online for almost a year!
ehehehe really nice story, congrats!
