I've been gone for a while again, what have I missed? It's taking forever just to load 1 page (due to Cloverfield). EDIT: Finally got the past few pages of this thread loaded, been reading through them. Where is the BFG file?

Edit 2: cstrife311 just signed onto AIM. I said BFG as the filename, and am stuck on a password

contact from Jeff

I wish cloverfield would hurry up and slow down so we can get on the forums faster.

Anyways, I got this comment on my blogspot from Jeff.

I'm sorry. I didn't want Dan to find anything related to me. The password was a dumb idea but it was the first thing that came to mind because I know that spot. I know you have seen the video. Thats what he wanted. Its in there.

I contacted cstrife311 while re-watching the video. Here are some things I tried, needless to say I got locked out.

I'll keep re-watching the video and see if I can think of anything else.

I just thought of something, but when I went to try it, just as I typed "hello," he logged out.

But were else have we seen those X's, the paper map of Iowa. And there is the Tripoli that nothing ever came of. So we need to try that when we can.

the password was bullerman. I guess the PM was getting tired of us overlooking the obvious and sort of gave me a push.

Wish me luck on getting this attached, with how slow the forums are with cloverfield going on.

the file name is HELP eroshal.jpg, I'm sure there is something we need to do with that, but I haven't checked yet. I wanted to get it posted asap so everyone can see it and download it.

I don't know what it is. the name anagrams to HELP HER ALSO plus several other things. But what is the thing in the lower right corner? I enlarged it and adjusted the b/c so it can be seen easier.

OMFG that is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. That he seems to be smiling is what makes it awesome.

Okay, three things.
1: Since I haven't seen Cloverfield yet, I don't know whatthe laggy forum commotion is about.

2: EWW. That picture is freaky.

3: I have seen something similar to that circle before. It illustrates the golden ratio, phi. It's another irrational number, like e and pi. It's something like 1.61. I don't know the significance, but I'll pull up some research ASAP to see if I find anything IG or just remotely useful.

EDIT: Another thing. I'm not sure about those dots. That's not part of phi.

If the website is too laggy, we could use AIM or Unfiction's IRC channel to communicate until Cloverfield stops lagging the forums.

We should change this games name from Finding Cedar Rapids to the Game of Creepy Stuff.

I was too creeped out by the rest of it to actually notice that symbol. But now that i look at it it looks a LOT like the symbols used for the bionicles movies. Looking around i found a site, and some quick checking said "this is NOT bionicle" unless it's a fusion of more than one character.

try this link, and see if you can find anything.

Holy CRAP. You got to give the PM kudos for knowing what freaks people out and for some kickass photomanip.

A google on "eroshal" gives nothing. At all.

I did some research myself on phi, and seeing this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Fibonacci_spiral.svg) I took it and put a circle around the most circular part of the spiral. I'm not really sure what to say; it looks similar, but it's not quite the same. The dots throw me off too.

Maybe we need to look at the ratios in the circle itself. I really don't know at this point.

(Jesus christ how is this supposed to help us?! THIS is Jeff's final help? A creepy picture with a circle? And why would it be so important to Dan if he found it?)

Alright, a slight new development. Huzzah, etc.

On Bullerman.net, I looked at the source, and in it was the word "eroshal.jpg." Visiting http://www.bullerman.net/eroshal.jpg , it's a simple picture:



No idea what it means- just text, as far as I can tell. Anybody know what "reousgheanle" might mean? I've ROTed it with no results; I'm thinking it's another anagram, but I don't see anything meaningful in it. Other than "eroshal" again.

Thoughts?
