"Eleven plus two = twelve plus one" is an anagram. I think Steve is implying that he's been sending us anagrams. Or should I say Steve-ghost?


Great find.. Here is steve's lates cryptic emails to make it easier to find anagrams from them...
- I vow you slow chest death. I sine Leo.
- a theta torn I miss to reap
- it Save me the tape kill Jeff

 		Sorry guys, I just flew home for the holidays so I won't be around much. Great job everyone!

My first thought when I saw the obit was that it looked like Jeff. But I guess it's not. I don't remember a lot of what Steve looked like but what I do remember is NOTHING like the guy in the picture. If anything I thought he looked a bit like this guy(I hope "Steve" doesn't mind the comparison):

Code:
 3 1 11   2 36  14  3
-1 2 38  23 49 -15 -1


I like the way you lined these up. I see a lot of perfect squares in there.
36 => 6
49 => 7
11+38=49 => 7
2+23=25 => 5
-1 => i

[/cue music to: Close Encounters of the Third Kind]

Surely this means something.


EDIT: For whatever reason, I've decided to list the square roots of each column totaled:

1.414214, 1.732051, 7, 5, 9.219544, i, 1.414214

 		tape,
it Save me the tape kill Jeff:

I went on the assumption that Jeff and Steve are in that anagram. The captial letters is what led me to think this. I removed all the letters for Jeff and Steve and here's what I got. Here are some words:

Impale, email, maple, metal, teak, mallet, epithelial, team, phial, lethal, heal, THETA(!!!), lept, lake, peak, hematite, palate, ill, teeth, melt, Mike, ample, late, meek, peel, tile, meat, mate, mettle, tame, platelet, mail, heap, heat.

I vow you slow chest death. I sine Leo.:

video, voodoo, dove, eve, owes, dives, views, hostile, woe, hitless, vice, void, hotel, does, dies, lose, loose, evil, evils, wood, ode, white, olive, dose, viewed, love, vile, vial, live, lie, lies, whats, oils, silo, soul, sole, love, hate, live, wiles, slew, olive, die, dies, death, devil, devils, those, isle, wile, idle, videos, wool, soothes, deli, wild, old, loo, ethos, thieves.

I was all excited cause I am so bad at math, but I'm good with the words. Looks like there's more math to be had. (OOG: *shakes fist at the whoever might be watching*). Those are just what I got from mah brain, which is very tired. I'll run it though some sort of anagram thingy later.

Nothing like Steve Faery? I never saw him. Hm, maybe it's an old photo of Jeff from a few years ago? Supposed to be a year since he... errr I mean Steve, since Steve died.

By that I mean an old pic of the person who is playing Jeff. Old enough and distorted enough to not look identical.

Edit: The mail login is gone. I was able to get right in and I didn't save the login/pw.

Natas, did this email have any punctuation in it, by chance?

 		no no punctuation... just the capital letters..

http://www.ssynth.co.uk/~gay/anagram.html

This tool might help

If you remove "jeff" and "steve" it says "I am the kill tape"... coincidence?

another one? "So I impersonate that rat." who knows? too sleepy.

 		Uh-oh.

2nd anagram: a theta torn I miss to reap

I've got results like "The poison is" I'm trying to get the rest to match up but it's not working but I really don't like the fact poison could be there at all.

Worked on the 3rd anagram earlier and got variations with things like "I AM STEVE/JEFF" and left more room for words like help and talk. I'm having some trouble with insomnia so I'm up but I think I'm so brain dead that if the anagram jumped out my screen and slapped me, I still wouldn't see it.

 		That anagram with the pill is good natas. Maybe we should tell Jeff to hurry up and take the pill? And yellowcard, the perfect squares idea is a good one. We've had a lot of math so far, why not more? Haha. It looks like the squares are maybe latitudes and logitudes? If we add them up, that is. One of the solves a while back was map coordinates too.

And Doug, we cracked the /mail username and password, so I suggest you check that out. There are a few things stemming from all that. Smile

 		Steve?
Just found the /mail password a few pages back and read what was there. The obituwary was written in 2006, but Steven Chambers was clearly alive. Do we know if the game takes place in present time? Or was he somehow brought back from the dead? I always noticed a paranormal connection to this whole thing. I'm still catching up here, what is Jeff's current phone number?

 		My guess is that the game is taking place now (the dates on the /mail page implies it), but we are somehow communicating with dead Steve? I'm really not sure, if Jeff somehow has the ability to see and talk to and hang out with the dead, then that might be his disease? The camera might be able to pick up on all the dead people too. However, this doesn't explain what he's turning into...

EDIT: Jeff's number is (231) 903-4847.

 		Contact with D. Bullerman!!!!!
I'm really sorry to be vague here guys... But I'm going to err on the side of Caution. I just received a cell phone call from a Michigan cell phone number. I picked up and there was nobody on the other end. I called it back and it went to voicemail.... the automated response was none other than.... Dan Bullerman. As we have run into problems before (those of you who have followed for a while know of what I speak) I will wait to post anything more detailed as I want to see where this goes. Once again, sorry for not giving more details.

 		I know i am double posting again but oh well. Where is everyone anyway? I am not sure I want to post on unforums anymore as a certain unnamed person claims they are watching (who is watching I don't know). Quote: "I can't talk on this number. They know."

How much do they know? Should we still post here. Are "they" watching UnForums? I'm not compromising his identity just yet until I gather more information from people I trust who have been actively helping me. Til then, pe@ce. I'll be waiting.

EDIT: this I assume is safe to post.. I was told to not watch the videos and to help Jeff. I guess it will be hard not to watch the videos. Maybe there was some weird project involving cameras that causes this "condition". Ever played that playstation game where you take photos to kill ghosts. I can't remember the name but it was CREEPY.

 		natas, I've been really busy. I think it's ok to post here the conversation you had but not the phone number with out permission, unless it is the one we have already been given.

I also, think that from Jeff's last post on his blog he is telling us to go enjoy Christmas and we will get back to this soon afterward. I may be wrong of course.

Great work everyone on the login. I'm trying to do something with the pic but so far not much more than everyone has gotten.
