[hunk84]

i think we will find it someday when theres a will theres hope but i ts sad that some pepole dont share things and sold themselves and their "friendships" for money.and i think that somewhere outthere is also another copy of resi 1.5 and waiting for us

[Stars_g36]

wow, Sounds like some really cool items, thanks for the added info.

[Dot50Cal]

I forgot, heres the compiled item list that Alzaire and a few others helped come up with. Its basically what we thought the items might be used for:

All the items above 18 seem to be weapons so I dont think any explanation is required there

19 Fire Extinguisher - Possibly used in the burning labs to put down a fire that is either blocking the path forward or a door
27 Truth - Maybe a file recovered from a computer revealing Umbrella as the company responsible?
29, 30, 31 - These sound like something you need to combine to make an explosive, maybe to blow down some rubble blocking the path? They could also be ammo for a weapon though.
32 Memory Card - Most likely it is used in place of the Ink Ribbons. Used to save your game at computers rather than typewriters as in the series.
33 First Aid Spray - Full Health
34 Antidote Spray - Cures Poison
35 Green Medicine - Cures some health, can be combined with Red, Blue
36 Red Medicine - Mixes with Green or Blue. Enhances the strength of whatever its combined with
37 Blue Medicine - Cures Posion, Can be mixed with red or green
38 through 45 are all combinations of the medecines. My guess is they take the place of herbs in the game.
46 Net - Maybe a way to trap one of the gorilla monsters?
47 Pliers - Possibly to fix a fuse box, or something you cannot touch with your hand
50 MD Media - Used with MD Player, Might be used to open a door like the MO DISK's were in RE1
51 MD Player - Used with MD Media, either to play a slideshow or open a door?
52 Time Bomb - May be combined with 29,30,31?
53 through 56 - Might be used to open doors with different access levels
57 T-Virus - Probably used in creating a vaccine of some sort for Sherry
58 G-Virus - Probably used in creating a vaccine of some sort for Sherry
59 Enzyme - Porbably used in creating a vaccine of some sort for Sherry
60 T Vaccine - Porbably used in creating a vaccine of some sort for Sherry
61 G Vaccine - Porbably used in creating a vaccine of some sort for Sherry
62 Pocket Watch - No idea here, though Ada ( the black haired woman) has this in her un-used inventory slot. Just a keepsake really
63 Fuse - May be used to fix the RPD Generator, or some fuse used in the labs
64 Repair Plug - Sounds like its used in a train area, like in final RE2. Most likely its rounded and used to power a train
65 Key Disk - Maybe used to unlock doors via a computer
66 Communications Startup Card - Used on a PC most likely
67 MD Player With Disc Inserted - Combine 50+51 most likely, may be used on a tv or slideshow type thing
68 Water key - Maybe used in the sewers?
69 ID Card M - Used to open doors? Maybe Marvins, so this one might be RPD
70 ID Card L - Used to open doors? Maybe Linda's (black haired scientist) might be used in the labs

It has been interesting reading the responses, and also seeing the reactions from the "Curator". His forum has been deleted, and so have the 1.5 pictures from his auction.

No, I haven't seen the error of my ways. I do see the error of your ways. I'm not gonna stop Big Stu and till you stand down. I'll derail the hell out of you.

This guy wears a snitch jacket. In a cautious thread by Big Stu to ask about Capcoms active policy on Prototype collecting, he goes and makes direct links to here and Bioflames, pretty much inviting Capcoms legal eagles to swoop down on here. I deleted the post though.

[abbatoo]

Looking forward to it. Any information about 1.5 , no matter how small it is, is always a good thing.

[MattJon]

Sounds interesting, I look forward to reading about it. It's just a shame that after all this time we got so near yet so far

[Dot50Cal]

Some recent things have happened which makes me and a few others who are "in the know" think that the situation is un-salvageable. Even if it was, I no longer trust doing business with this person even if they were to accept a reasonable offer. We no longer feel that keeping quiet about the situation will help our chances any more.

I'll be doing a writeup on this situation which will detail this whole thing from the start. Be ready for a long read. Hopefully I can get that out tomorrow and clear the air of any confusion and also reveal the slimy-ness of the individual. Also, look forward to is some info about this build which hasn't been made public.

Dot, you should have at least seen the greater portion of BS you've been getting lately coming. This IS the internet, after all. When something big happens in a community, regardless of what that community may be about, there's ALWAYS going to be idiots trying to capitalize and get a few laughs for themselves out of it. =/

Anyways, I hope this isn't all some big hoax to screw with people, but you sound sure of it, so I look forward to hearing your proof and reasoning behind it, if you can ever put it down for us.

While I'm at it, let me be the first to congratulate you on your efforts in collecting donations and organizing this drive on such short notice. It may have been a bust, but at least the community can see we have someone to fall back on, someone trustworthy and quick to action. Here's hoping we will get that golden opportunity eventually. Thanks for trying, Dot.

[Skunky]

Sad and Disappointing...
Dot, I'd be interested to know the 'full story' should you choose to reveal it.

On the plus side, those exchanges between Big Stu and Surgicalhorror certainly cheered me up, most amusing...
'Always look on the bright side of life'
'life's a piece of shit, when you look at it' (and so on...)

Some weirdo was saying it to me on MSN. I had gone away from the PC and when I came back I had this skitzo IM in front of me where this guy starts out asking how the deal is going, and it then degenerates into insults because I didnt answer him. Weird all around. I really need to stop putting videos up on youtube. It brings horribly stupid people here.

Confirmed lulz.

[biohazard_star]

Is there any chance that this lead will become active again, possibly in the near future? Or is it all uncertain? >:[

[Enigma_632]

Peter, sounds like an arse.

Just...wow.

Fairly obvious, isn't it? The only one I would know of that would call you "Dotty" is Peter...
