same thing happened with rorschach... try manually typing in the text you found in the image rather than cutting and pasting (or vice versa). Make sure just to be safe, that you add any leading or trailing spaces or punctuation, and I guess even check (via a hex ed) for carriage returns (0A and/or 0D) though it's doubtful that'll be the issue.

Yeah. I actually never received a picture at all, even after trying four separate e-mail accounts. So, I just typed in "Updated my email" in the box and now I've passed the mission. I get the same thing as Russell. Weird.

Same here, I put in "resend email" and it says I have no missions. It looks like it gets reviewed by a PM, so hopefully they'll resend it and reset it so we can actually contribute a little to the puzzle.

In what box exactly? All I've done is clicked the box that says "update information" but if your way of actually typing in something somewhere makes it pass the mission then I might try it...I still have not gotten any emails.

If you click on Current Assignments, it should say Extraction with a textbox underneath and a Submit button. We're supposed to put in the text we pull from the images we are sent, but a few of us just put in things like "updated my email" in hopes that the PM would see it and resend the image so we could participate in the puzzle.

I still haven't gotten an email, though.

Same here. I've updated to several email addresses. Finally sent in a 30gigs.com email address this morning. I still haven't gotten anything. I did try the 'updated email address' thing, and my status is now showing extraction completed, and no mission available. I'm assuming that means they'd already sent my image to another person, who's phrase has been extracted. Or it's a glitch.. or who knows.

Guess time will tell.

Haha!

So in place of submitting my answer for extration, I wrote "updated my email" and I just checked back on landa and it says that my mission was completed and that I have no new missions at this time. Glad someone fixed that...can't wait to see what happens next.

yes it's very likely that signing up for new emails might have images already completed for missions. If only 5 segments haven't been submitted, then I'm guessing you've got a 5 in 20 chance of signing up and receiving one of those unsubmitted segments. Otherwise, chances are your mission will already be complete, and you likely won't get an email with an image anyway.

Here's a question for those that submitted legit answers: Did your rank or mission points increase at all? Mine says I completed the assignment, but still have 0 mission points. I'm not sure if we get points for doing our part, or if we get points after the mission is completed (ie. 20/20 fragments finished).

No, 0 mission points at this time. I spec that after mission is completed, 20/20, the points will be awarded.

I continue to not have my solution accepted. I even tried putting in a solution which said to resend the email. Nothing.

Then I hit on a phrase that marked it complete for me.
I entered:
Code:
I never got an email.
as my solution. Must've keywored properly, because when I logged out and logged back in, I got a completion on my portion.

Actually, it looks like almost any text will complete the mission for you. 'resend email', 'resend', and 'try again' all completed it for me (er, uh..) as well. None of those accounts ever got an email sent to them either, which might support the no email sent on completed pieces scenario... thing is, how do we get the other missing pieces.. I wonder if its sequentially sent out, and I need 13 more accounts. Rolling Eyes

Could they possibly not give out the last 5 and say they were intercepted or some other twist?
