Not to throw you guys off in this thread or anything. Looks like you may be getting somewhere with this secret doding stuff. I just thought I would drop this here as well. It is posted on the main thread too, but, it looks like all the supergeeks (compliment) are hangin out here.
This might actually make sense.
It hasn't gotten me anywhere yet but you never know.
Remember the reward pic to that one challenge was named 1426.jpg
Remember he hinted towards generals and "tweaked"
Remember the score of a Halo2 game between gamem8ker - general - and tweaky (i think that was his name) - the score was 14 to 6.
You know how many of us have been thinking this is alot simpler than we are making it.
So off I went.
I have yet to find any corelation between the current pic name and any of the scores from gemm8ker's games but I think there are many places we could go with this.
Maybe a Halo2 player with gamertag "gamefind" or "gamefinder"
Maybe finding gamem8ker on Halo2 right now. He's playing!!
Maybe the pic could mean 1900 to 22,589. Perhaps a score from some other game. There is a lapse in his playing of Halo2 from 5:30am pdt - about 8:00pm pdt yesterday. Maybe he was working or putting our challenge together. Maybe he was playing something else.
Maybe the letters ch are abrreviation for some other game he is or was playing.
Maybe the pic name is all of his stats from a game and not a cobination of all the players kills or points or whatever.
You guys get the idea. Why would we not be looking at xbox live connections to this challenge? They have linked challenges and xbox live before. Not to mention Live is their baby. Especially for the 360.

Sorry - I tried the vigenere cypher thing yesterday but not really sure if I am doing it right anyway someone said it could be a grid cypher but we didn't have a grid - well we did. didn't we? One or two challenges back - the thing that looked like a punchcard.

the first thing that 1900222589 strikes to me is a phone number.... but it's missing one digit (or do they have 1900 numbers with 6 digits?)

It is a phone number backwards. Some people called the number and left messages. Some people also called and found that the security code was the default one, so they were able to listen to the messages. Since then the code was changed. It's possible it's just some random person's phone, I don't really know if it was ever decided to be in game or out of game. But people gave up on it quite a few pages ago in the main thread for this challenge.

Maybe it's like a 2-d Rubics cube.
i was looking at the puzzle in the excel spreadsheet and was thinking that maybe the letters scroll in both directions until a sentance or phrase is deciphered.
heres the excel document:

Newbie hey im new, and i've been reading all the posts and i may have some more clues. The poster/calander of frank thomas is also a game that was made on the snes gameboy and ps1. Like in previous challenges where the answer was on the idea of gaming and games. the cyrpic clue in the word search may be to find the answer to the question you have to play the game.
The kirsten rutherford site was just a was of helping out a friend. i see no help coming from ilovebees or from her personal web site

It was a grille, like you said.
I knew that text was a cipher of somekind, I just didn't link it to a microsoft site oficially.
Pity, we could have had it hours earlier if we'd followed through with the cipher rather than the vigenere .
