 		I tried thesundidnotshine.blogspot.com, and did a flickr username search. Nothing came up.

Then I checked the large size King of Diamonds picture, and it looks like it is stegged. You need to use the program at securekit.com, not jphide.

I can't get the answer to work though, or The Cat in the Hat. Maybe I'm not spacing it out right or not capitalizing it right.

Wow, youre right about the Largest King of Diamonds Pic being stegged.. ive tried every other pic hes thrown at us, and the Largest Stegasaurus pic, and the Largest King of Diamonds pic, are the only ones that stick in the program from securekit.com.

Nice find Nicole.. were we supposed to find this one, right now? it has nothing to do with "the sun did not shine" or the "Cat in the Hat".. this could have been something we either missed before, or something that we would have to look for in the near future..

either way, time to start throwin passwords out there. This time though, its harder cuz we really dont know where to start..

 		ANOTHER SOLVE
Im on a roll!
King of Diamonds Pic Solve:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Password:

"dead mans hand"

File name:

"insight"

Contents:

5.11.07

...

You tHerE?

Yo.

Who is this?

Just a humble fisherMan.

How's it going?

Working late, as usual. Nothing's biting. How about you?

Babysitting.

Cool. Whats up?

It's time to release a new message.

Ok. What about?

P.T.

Did they not get the first one?

They're having trouble with it.

Oh...ok. Cool. How much should I tell them?

Just enough. Nothing more. It will take some time to put all the pieces together.

No prob. I'll have someone in my crew deal with it.

Thanks. Just remember to keep the fish fresh.

Of course. That's my job Smile

How's the weather?

Calm, as usual. A clear, beautiful night. You?

The kids are asleep, for now. So it's smooth sailing here too. Have a goodnight.

Night.

...



yay me

EDIT:

Ok after going over it again I noticed a few things:

- Two letters are capitalized, out of place: E, and M

- It appears to be a conversation between Tom and a superior of his? If not a superior, then someone involved with his interaction with us.

- The new message to be released to us was called "P.T.", this will probably be obvious once I figure this out, but for now Im not quite sure what it stands for.

Anyone notice anything else?

No the King of Diamons pic was the very first step a long time ago. Check out the thread "Congratulations today is your day" its the very last one on the main THP page.

The KoD tag reads "when you find them all you will find the password." So I guess since you found the file in the stegosaurus, this is the last step, and we now have to go back to the beginning and get the "prize" or whatever.


Edit: Nice find smooth. I of course don't get what it means, but good job. Maybe the person who says he is babysitting (the 1st speaker) is Eric?

oh snap i didnt even think of that.. that was one theory, about Eric being a babysitter.. but the rest of the convo points to the "they" as being us.. so Im leaning more toward the convo being Tom and someone else

I believe the P.T. referred to in the convo stands for: Phase Two

I could be wrong... but what are the chances this convo is between the CM and TDC?

Oh I bet you're right. I was thinking that date was 06, before the kidnapping. But May 11th 07 is right for the time the Phase 2 talk started.

Going back in the forums, May 11th is right when the CM sent us the bits of a message that unscrambled to "We're going to be growing Phase Two is coming."

In that case, the babysitter is probably the CM. Either babysitting Eric, could be his own kid Russ ( if it is his kid). Then again you dont really call watching your own kid babysitting.

 		De-Steg Solves:

Stegasaurus Pic:

File Name: "plants and grass"

Contents (Solve): "The sun did not shine" (Cat in the Hat)

King of Diamonds Pic:

File Name: "insight"

Contents: A convo between two (yet unknown) people, refering to the revealing of a message regarding "P.T." (Phase Two).

Forgot to add: There are three letters capitalized out of place and they are (H, E and M)

(Earlier I only caught two, my bad)

My question is... where the hell do we go from here?!


POINT OF INTEREST: This part of the convo concerns me:

Quote:

P.T.

Did they not get the first one?

They're having trouble with it.


This means there was a message sent out regarding Phase 2 that we missed. But the only person who should know about Phase 2, and advertising the words "Phase 2" is the Codemaster. Anyone else see something odd about this?

I sent Tom an email telling him he has to start explaining some things.. nicole solved all the cards so he owes us some info. Check out this bit of the convo:

Quote:

Just enough. Nothing more. It will take some time to put all the pieces together.

No prob. I'll have someone in my crew deal with it.

Thanks. Just remember to keep the fish fresh.


Someone in the crew? So this is adding to my theory that Tom is not only not working alone, but may be working with a whole group of people... could he be a fed?? What do u think?

EDIT: This is really confusing.. one second I think its Tom, the next I think its the CM.. the next im thinking its Tom talking to the CM... somethings reaaaal fishy


EDIT: A passage from the Bible regarding the "Humble Fisherman":

Quote:
"He saw and believed. (John 20:Cool"

John's story gives us great hope. For if the Holy Spirit could reveal so much to a humble fisherman from Galilee, he can surely reveal Jesus just as clearly to us! Every day, we have the opportunity to spend time in quiet reflection and meditation on Jesus. It's in this time that we can ponder Jesus' words in the gospels, ask him questions, and tell him the needs and desires of our heart. As John reclined against Jesus' breast at the Last Supper, we too can recline with Jesus, sitting in his presence and asking him to teach us more about himself.


Dont know if this helps, but the fact that the words "humble fisherman" were used seemed oddly biblical..

EDIT: LOL oh man thats funny.. the "8" next to the parenthesis above resulted in it being this: Cool haha ohh man thats funny

Looks like we need to figure out how this sentence is used.

could there be a possibility that the word "sun" could be interpreted as "son" as in... Russ?

The Sun Did Not Shine...hmm.. what could he be referring to..

Once again Great job Smooth !


I agree with phase two, it was I thought of when I saw P.T. too.

As far as the conversation goes; Tom is supposed to have the inside scoop on the CMs communications. I would think its another person on the CMs side. I don't see why TDC would out himself. At least not this early.

do you think "The sun did not shine" is just another hint... as in cloudy day or nightime..

ok.. anyone think it may be significant that both titles of the hidden files, put together say:

"plants and grass in sight"


EDIT: Ok, ive tried all 25 ROTs for "The Sun Did Not Shine" as addresses for blogspot, as well as user names for Flikr.

Im thinking we need to figure out why the H, E and M are capitalized in the convo...

HEM.. hmm

EDIT2: Ok, I also tried all 25 ROTs on YouTube as well... still nothing...uggggh
