It's most likely a jpg artifact, but the rectangle on "north america" in the stamp image looks funny to me.


it looks to me more like a crude representation of europe than north america. if it is a map, then as i see it the part on the right is the middle east, the edge of india, etc, and it cuts off right where africa starts, i.e., africa is missing.

if it is a distorted map, I would place the peak somewhere near/ in russia. metacortex has a st. petersburg office, or there could be something in little-boxes.

also, since we have a mountain, and texel (a 3-d pixel and a mountain), and the raised bump in the metacortex wallpaper, I think we might have a topographical map in here somewhere.


EDIT: one more thing, w/ "first to the top" and 1 cent (a cent/ascent):

Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were the first two men to successfully climb Mt. Everest.

EDIT #2: Texel, The Netherlands (UW) – The 7th edition of the biannual race around the island Texel on Easter Monday took place in conditions that were very different compared with previous editions.
Wim-Bart Knol won the 120k, Veron Lust, the 60k

 		Anyone notice that "help" command returns

rootSPLATatlas.underscorehosting.com as the email to use for questions or problems? Perhaps this is something to follow.

Yeah, it's in the old thread

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2559&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=255

But would you ask an ISP for help sneaking into their ftp site?

Don't forget to set your transfer type to binary.

 		James Avery
I don't know if anyone has come up with this yet, but here goes:
I was looking into that James Avery name on the metacortex directory.
I translated the binary. No doubt everyone else is done this.But the
second part of the translation interested me.
d pt x c iv

So i though maybe its roman numerals, seeing as though there have been a few Roman related clues.

d=500 pt=? x=10 c=100 iv=4

Please let me know if this helps. Keep it up.

You aren't afraid of using shameless self promotion either.

 		Is it just me, or is the FTP empty? I can't get anything off of it or onto it. I'm on the Mac FTP client Captain FTP and I've tried changing the method of accessing it... Binary, text, auto, nothing works.

The stamp picture is a bit odd, the 'mountain' appears to be a highly distorted map of most of the earth... the greenish areas seem to follow N and S America, Africa, and Eurasia, with the white area being the polar cap? The right side of the mountain caught my eye, the Saudi Arabian peninsula is pretty clear and undistorted. What to make of this I'm not sure...


this is one of the weirdest stretches of imagination i've seen yet


And if you look at the shape in the background of the "Perfect Attendance" pic, it looks like South Dakota! I think that's a CLUE!

Don't know who cort is, but I'm the one who posted that, and I don't have a login because I see no reason to, here. Whether I'm a guest or a logged in user, you censor everyone.

This particular censoring just supports my theory that unforum is behind this whole game. Why else would they be keeping that paritcular piece of information so secret, and discouraging people from even LOOKING AT other sites that are investigating?

I'm investigating over at Collective Detective (no link this time, okay? Not SPAM.), for anyone who wants to work in an uncensored environment.

(Here's hoping this post doesn't disappear, too!)
