Coded Lies & Veiled Truths

A-V as a comprehensive world view instead of the usual A-Z? V an upside down A? All those possibilities?  Nothing short of brilliant, I'd say.  I have to wonder, given the mysterious way Amanda's mind works and how many names she has used, if there could be a numerical meaning.  Could the V be the Roman numeral five?  The fifth incarnation of her name, perhaps (I love that word, too!).  But we come back to whether she is ever telling the truth--and I noticed some long-running debate threads about that burning issue, too.  It's a good one.  Her lies might be coded information that we might just not understand, and her truths are basically so veiled that, well, who can tell them apart?

Since we might not crack anything else about her name right now...

 

What about other Amanda codes? Anything else we could analyze?

    You could analyze that code in the back of Invisible i. I don’t think anyone’s coded it. Yet. Or maybe someone did. I don’t know.

      that is a good though no one i have asked has decoded it yet… and none of my friends friends friends friends friends friends friends has decoded it ye….. i know alot of people… oer 3000 acctually cuz of all my friends friends friends friends friends friends friends! yeah thats alot of people!!!!

        If you mean the star code thing, there’s a spolier thread in the debate club that has the answer.  Doesn’t really relate to anything though, it was just something to go with the story.  Not sure what else we could do.  Did we ever check her school records? it could have the address to the place where she lived.  You’d have to find a way to sneak in to get it though.

          maybe the latitude andlonitude of all the locations Amanda went to has somehting to do with it.

            bluedragon713 has a good idea. but i almost decoded it once… i can’t remember it :( hmmm…. no ideas on my side, unfortunately. let’s see what i can come up with later.

            • marycaulf

              There’s nothing to analyze.

              • izzap2

                What if her actual name needs decoding? well, name or names. but you know what I mean.
                Wecould try treating it like an anagram?
                or maybe a crossword clue?
                EG: fr Amy vincent, there could be… someone called Amy at the vincent van gogh (sorry can’t spell) exibition? (although that is kind of copyright to doctor who…)
                but you get the idea.

                • EllaMarie

                  Actually, I mean that black and white code that you need a phone and internet connection.

                  • iGuard2010

                    Maybe all the names she’s used are names of people she’s met. I mean, she’s already used Callie’s name. Try looking for your own names in places you’ve never been. That could lead you right to her. Although I don’t think Hal’s name is gonna come up ;P

                    • fashionista17

                      Maybe all of AV’s fake names are from people she admires? All I need is a list of all the names she’s been using… And I might find something!

                      If I find anymore information, I’ll post later.

                        I think Amanda does draw inspiration from the world around her for her ‘stories’... I prefer to think of them as ‘stories’ rather than lies, because it sort of feels like she presents us with things that aren’t true to teach us something, not to decieve us just for the sake of it.

                        Like she gave Callie’s name as her own once, and she used famous people’s names… I think by analysing the stories that Amanda has told us, we can learn things about what inspires her. Even if they’re not “true” in that they didn’t happen to her, they still tell us that she knows about them happening somewhere else to someone else. Like the way she’s always quoting people like Simon and Garfunkel, and the way she collects things in her diary. She’s always using things she has seen or read or heard or people she’s met to tell us more about herself, and about her big ‘story’, whatever that is…

                        So, I think you guys should try and think more about the things she’s told you about herself. Places she goes. People she admires. Things she told you happened to her in her past. Things she has in her diary that you’ve seen. Anything and everything like that. I think all of them will tell us something about Amanda.

                              She’s used 14 names? Wait, I got another idea! Now since I’ve found the names she’s used in the past, all I have to find out now is the places she used the names in. WOO-HOO!!!!!!!

                              • izzap2

                                actually, you forgot Alison and Amy.
                                but I searched them for you:
                                Amy- Amy winehouse, Amy Mcdonald, Amy Magazine
                                Alison- Alison Dyson, Alison Ingram (wildlife painter), Alison Weir

                                • izzap2

                                  and she used Alison when she was in England (more specifically, East Sussex.)
                                  Hope I’ve helped!

                                  • fashionista17

                                    You helped alot! Thanks!!!!!!! Wait, so that means she’s used 16 names. Does anyone know how old AV is?

                                    • BlueRoseGrey

                                      what if we searched all the background stories? i mean, they all must have SOME connection, right?

                                      • BlueRoseGrey

                                        my post above was too vague. what i meant to say is: AV told us all different stories about her life. What if we looked at all of them and found a connection?

                                        • AllieK

                                          I like the idea that all the stories could be about other people.  We should compare stories and see if any of them could be about people we actually know.

                                            Okay, in almost every alias “Amanda Valentino” (remember she called herself Callie once) uses, it’s always AV. We’ve established that.
                                            What we are looking for now is THE MEANING- to recap. So, what if Amanda’s real name did have the initials AV, and that’s her way of staying true to herself or providing a clue to her real name?
                                            Anyway, AV could mean a lot of things. Did we look at constellations? She seems to be very into them.

                                              what if it was numerical… like a = 1 or something so for amanda its…
                                              1, 13, 1, 14, 4, 1… idkkkkk if that means anything…
                                              added together its 34 which would be cd in letters…
                                              hardly makes sence so it really might mean nothing…

                                                  I think AlexInvisible is on to somthing.  She said that maybe AV has to do with constilations.  Or the sky.  Maybe…...

                                                    I don’t know if this is useful or not, but A in is Alpha, the number one and V like the post from Nia said is five. Her initials then AV, could be 15….... the name Amanda Valentino has, well 15 letters. Could be just a coincidence but maybe the number 15 is important to Amanda. Or maybe all her aliases names have fifteen letters or maybe she was fifteen when she ran away. Orion High School has 15 letters. Emilys861 did say there were fourteen names, but I can’t help but wonder if there might have been a fifteenth Looking more into 15….............

                                                      ya, what if all of the stories have a connection and with all of the things NanetteFroid said. Like the 15th person would be Amanda and her real story I think that everything she says has some connection even though we might not know it…aww…I thought of something but then forgot…

                                                        A in the greek alphabet is Alpha. alpha also means the beginnig. and if we’re right about V being 5, then it could be beginning 5, or 5 begininng. Alpha and Omega (the beginning and the end) is also used in the bible. maybe she goes to church?

                                                        • ChicGeek

                                                          Amy Vincent only has 10 letters though. Wait, maybe the letters in her name get one letter bigger or smaller every time she changest her name. or maybe she changes names -  and schools - every year she gets older? like she was fifteen when she was amanda, and ten whe she was amy? idk….
