Yes, that's what I think too (in most parts), but at least they try to figure out a consistent pattern. – and I haven't seen a better one yet, than connecting dates to timestamps via markers (i.e. minutes/seconds on a clock).
Please don't forget that not al anons posting their "trials"/ideas on the clock are original clockfags. Following the clockthread from when it was started, there are about 5( to max. 10) original "clockfags". Many have jumped on the train with "weird" ideas, and also "agents" (as of recently, say 2 months or so even increased) post "clocks" that might generally not be recognized/endorsed by the few original clockfags.
As for a (logically) consistent pattern – I am not sure if it's not on Q and their coding (or their crypticity) that this logically consistent pattern doesn't exist or hasn't been found yet …. after all: "We will not communicate our move to the enemy".
>Like time travel big
Naw, that's not true, from what I understand/see: If you're governing (and a billionaire w/ (let's say) strong military connections and some "plan"), then you will always find a way to create "news" (i.e. to make things "happen" and to have news outlets report on them, even with the keywords you want – any news outlet (imagine you were e.g. "drudge", and you'd support Q/POTUS), then you'd be inclined to do that).
So news "unlocks" the map – but little to do with "foresight" in terms of, say, time-travel …. just the "power" to "make" things happen…..
>Then we can use what Q said about that news to understand that Q knew about it well in advance
Yeah, from what I understand, just like that.
And like you say, there might be things encoded in the crumbs that we still don't know – depending what coding scheme was used (if any). There had been efforts by the clockfags to figure out just that (clockbread 2 & 3).
But there's also the "map" – i.e. the attempt to connect all crumbs correctly, such that a (maybe deeper) story emerges containing more information than just the posts/crumbs individually by themselves.
>Ever try to herd cats?
I won't try, and instead laugh. Have given up living in the "society" I've been observing and living in long enough ….
But there is a intention to have us united – so I'll explain to anyone who's willing to listen, and I'll listen to anyone who has a constructive idea.
