I'm pretty sure it's intruly/26otay. The same phrase shows up later on in the video in a clearer font.

Also this is the font that was used (thanks to the people at whatthefont): http://www.creamundo.com/index.php?lang=en&letra=a&pag=2&fuente=Armaggedon+Industrial+TTF

I've seen wayisnoway on AIM a few different times, once yesterday. But the person has never been on longer than a minute or so, and they didn't reply to my inital ims. Makes me think it might be rhino's other name he mentioned, because lately Rhino has only been online for a minute before he signs off.

 		The thing that worries me, is that previously if we have been stuck over a clue, the PM used Sam Yoder's blog to point us in the right direction or to solve it.
Im a little concerned why that isnt being used now. Im worried that this might of been abandoned - not fully, but maybe the PM just has other real life stuff or something.

It just seems odd for a game to be left hanging, when its obvious the players are confused, and not have any 'push' in the right direction - if that makes sense =\

I just cant stop thinking about that.

Has anyone contacted Sam or Eddie? I think I may of asked that before lol

Edit: Rhinojock is online now!

This is just bloody STUPID.

Get your act together PM's or just tell us its done with. Im not in the mood anymore.

What the hell is the point of creating a game, then blocking all the players?!! I mean seriously wtf?!

 		I've tried to contact both eddie and stan in the past week and have still had no reply...I agree though, this is getting old (again).

You know Volvo is having that online treasure hunt again starting tomorrow, where you can win $50,000 and a car...I think I may give that a try...

I agree. And last time it was burried on a beach in the Bahamas! Much better than waiting time with this.
Theres so many games starting soon that actually have PM's who are dedicated, and dont treat their players like this.
Im trying not to rant, but I'm so mad!

All that time and effort, and obviously money the PM took on the game, all this rubbish doesnt make any sense.

There was a suggestion that this game has been gamejacked before (with the emails from eddie linking to UF) could it of been jacked again? And if so, why hasnt the real PM informed anyone?

 		I got an email from the website willselfdestruct.com. I'd never heard of it before, but apparently it is this service that will anonymously send an email for you. But the weird thing is, you go to the website to view the message, and it is only active for 30 seconds, then it self-destructs. It wouldn't let me copy the message either. But all it said was that there is something strange at bristelgoodman.wikispaces.org. After checking the site to see if something was added, I noticed there was a new message posted in the discussion area (http://bristelgoodman.wikispaces.com/message/view/home/532471).

"26" is the subject, and seed is the author. I'm pretty sure Seed is Eddie Dees. He mentioned in our conversation that hes been getting emails with codes in them, so my guess is this is one of the codes.

Spoiler:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The purity innocence clue (after using base64) looked exactly like this code. That clue was decoded with railfence.

Using this website:
http://www.purplehell.com/riddletools/railfence.htm

With railfence, any spaces in the message are important. I think some were left out, but if you use the following site and copy this between the quotes exactly:
" c ed oslleodrprfre oteclsu,pua.Sneerthos r "

And use 3 rows, Offset 2, you get:

Se ond repcref rree todthe colossus, plural.

It's not perfect but its as close as I can get.
Looks like it's leading us to the other redirectme. I think it is:

Second rep referred to the colossus, plural.


I tried colossuses, colossi.redirectme.net/ but they doesn't exist. I'm still trying to figure this one out. Shocked

 		Damn it, i've tried colossus many times. And a lot of other greek stuff. In the video 5 you see Rumi at the statue of liberty and it is connected to the
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Colossus of Rhodes
. There is a lot of greek stuff in all these videos, Thyanatomic = Titanomachy, and Prometheus in the background of "Merry christmas Mom and dad". And greek characters that relate to numbers.

Its right that
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
colossi is Plural of Colossus
. Maybe it is another redirect service to be used?

 		YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!! Its not dead an burried! Thank GOD for that! I cannot express my happiness right now Laughing

According to wiki, the plural can also be 'colossuses' but I tried the redirect me, and no results.

Edit: 26 must be important. 26otay.

There is 2 versions of the text: "truly/26otay" and "in truly/26otay". I Think that in is not that important.
