Looking at my source-code I cannot find this information! Should I clear my cache or something? Never mind, found it.

Well, I hope we can get some info soon! And GREAT JOB NCfriend. And if it is possible, could you be a sweetheart and try recording it for us? PLEASE?? Mr. Green

If not, a transaction would suffice. Wink

Oh wow, I just got an idea... maybe we have to do some footwork. I mean, what is an ARG without a little footwork? Does anyone live near that address? I mean, with 6 weeks to go until the unveiling of the Golden Domino, maybe this may be more convoluted than we previously thought.

Who knows, maybe there will be a part II Surprised (though I highly doubt it)

If there is a Part II it BETTER be a US game too!!!!

does anyone who actually managed to see the myspace page have a copy of it in their history folder by any chance?

I never did see it and with that clue in the code to visit it, and the delay of the game I can't help but wonder if myspace deleted the profile for some stupid/arbitrary reason & they are trying to get it back up because it had what we need here (or are working real hard on the option 2 they didn't plan for LOL)

Plus, this is what I have come up with in Photoshop. All I did was use the smart sharpen filter and adjusted a few sliders. Is it worthy?


Can you put the photo of this bull up with no enhancements? I want to take a look at it in photoshop. I think I do see a word on there - a backward word.

bull

well i don't see anything on the original photo, but your enhanced one, yes, I see some letters - but I am wondering and thinking if it is a watermark. I can get it lighter by putting "screen" behind yours, and it does come out with some letters and a number. I think it is too obscurred to be a clue.

Hi all,
I have been following your progress and trying some things out for my self as well. That mobile number is very strange. I rang it and got the same answer phone message that everybody else has got, but I then sent the same number a text and got a reply saying that I must have got the wrong number. So, I sent another one back apologising but explaining what was going on and whether they knew anything about it.
Just waiting on a reply now.

Hey all! I've been following this puzzle pretty closely the last couple of days and this forum has been a great help, (especially with the tyre one).
Registered now when I feel I've got something to contribute.

Concerning the Carniceria Guzman website, they've now taken the contact number down again.
I also texted the number a few hours ago, while it was still on the webpage, but got no response (maybe because I don't live in the UK)

It seems like that number is a dead end as well, but at least it shows that they're working on it. I guess it's just a matter of waiting

We're.... (in)famous....

**notice the dig duncans gives us Americans at the end here**

For more clues and speculation check out Seventy Seven Spinning Around, and the UNFICTION Alternative Reality Gaming Forum.

Interact with the village environment and mayor at www.guinnesstipping.com, entering the clues one by one by clicking on the domino tiles there. You will need to be patient. You will need to use the search facility (connected with Google UK) provided on the Guinness site. You will be required to solve a few puzzles… A little familiarity with Spanish could help. Use the magnifying glasses to give you a clue as to what you should be looking at next.

To register for the prize of a gold domino you will need to live in the UK. Good things come to those who wait… in the UK.

Well the number is off the "solved" pages too. I guess the spellings don't matter either then.

e-mail

I just got an e-mail response - but I don't think it is ingame. I e-mailed 4 times 3-ingame and 1 about not including US in the game for prizes. I am assuming that is what the answer is for, although it has a number for a subject line:

Subject 1519735

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your recent email which was forwarded to my desk.

Your email has been forwarded to our USA office where someone will be in contact with you.

Kind Regards,

Hi guys,

No reply on the 2nd text message front. I think he kept getting phone calls and text messages, so they took it down. It must just have been part of the site, but not part of the game, if you get what i mean. So, it is still a matter or waiting!

By the way, having had another look at the source code on Guzman's site I spotted something that looked a little out of place. After one of his customers tells that story/joke he says, "I love the chorizo with rocket my friend!"

Is that a clue or just another red herring. Just thought i'd throw it out there.

ROFLMAO

Someone got a real wake up call about how intense ARGers are in following leads.

Wonder if there are some people over the pond who are bothered by the US participation (whether we can win or not)

Lord knows 77 spinning around has a poster who has been lurking here & posting info we have found without giving any gredit to us - how tacky of you James Gordon-MacIntosh.

I searched on myspace for a page with the name of rocket and did not find anything that looked like it might be in game. I did notice that chorizo was mentioned more than once; but don't know the significance if any.

Yes, I thought it was right out of unfiction since the postings stopped when we stopped finding things and the match solve was your website. The Palm comment was me when I found out about the prize.
