Thanks, King Mob. Actually, about the "eye see"...none of the other text labels above the pictures have given us anything, if I'm not mistaken (well, except for "Et tu"=Brutus=Brute us, I guess, if you want to interpret it that way...). It could simply refer to the fact that Jesse wants to "see" with his "eye" those who are "lost," since that's what the girl is seeing with her eye...

I'm guessing the reason this hasn't been shot down yet is that everyone's too scared of this thread to click.

You know, is it possible, that we've already solved this? I'm pretty well convinced that if there was more information to be gleaned from this, we would have found it. Little girl, playing hide and seek, saying I see, on the day Paintover went live. That's it.

Hi,

I've been following the game for a while, and I may have stumbled upon part of the Oct. 1st pic solution. I'm not very computer savvy, so I apologize if my info is inaccurate.
I thought about STOL, and that it might be a path or directory(not sure which term). I also had read about a not yet opened site Lifeandcasualty.com. So, I typed in lifeandcasualty.com/stol/files and the log in box popped up, with caesar as username. Unfortunately, I haven't found the password yet, but unless I'm mistaken, it seems as though I've discovered the url, path, and username. If I'm wrong, please forgive me. Also, if I'm mistaken please tell me because I want to learn more about computers, as well as rest my brain a bit.

To wrap it up, from the FAQ:

Q: October 1st paintover picture?

Thanks Trip for letting me know^about the username. Perhaps I'll learn enough to be a more effective part of the next ARG.

This is one of the reasons I think the PMs are idiots. How difficult would it have been to post something else on paintover to tell us there was nothing to be seen in the picture.

Asses.

I have the October 1st picture taped to the fridge in case any of my housemates suddenly spotted a hidden meaning (none of them were 'playing' - or even cared - so I thought they might have a more objective view).

Guess I'll have to take it down now - or perhaps not. Might keep them busy for a while...

Nice of you to assess me. It must be so nice to be able to completley peg my motivation. /ColdSarcasm

Please don't call me bitter, I wasted far too much effort to find out there was no point and it all dissolved into a whimper. Nobody was expecting it to flop like this which is why the team's name has only just been picked. The Oct1st was not thought out properly; especially when they followed it up with every day having a clue attatched.

You don't know me enough to call me bitter, and I haven't paid you the shrinks fee to put me up on a couch and analyze me.

And as for:

I hate to feed the trolls but:

And yet you continue to assess the Project MU team in hindsight. What's fair is fair.

I hate to break it to you, but the PMs of course didn't use many "new" cryptographic techniques. If they had, we would have been screwed beyond belief. They had a few new methods, IE: the cipher in the october 1st picture still has not been located, the hacker communications are new. They were things that we were able to solve after a little proding in the right direction. That's the idea of these games, they are there to be solved.

Now if the PMs really did create a new cryptographic method, say a blowfish variant, who would have been able to solve it? Not you or I, I am sure.
