Crap, sorry sylvia, if I knew you guys were looking for the CN tower thingy I would have posted it... I posted it in the VITD thread earlier thinking that's where it belonged. Glad to see you helped it find it's way home. I'm gonna have to read through this one though... seems interesting.

I didn't know you had already posted about it. I haven't had much time to follow the games and starting tomorrow will have even less time.

 		Well... this has pretty much gone nowhere in 5 pages.

Any ideas what to do or just wait?

I'm personally not too sure about the coding method on this one... not base64, although it may look like it.

It's depicting the CN tower which Sylvia mentioned earlier Here's some screenshots.

The second red highlight is of a building nearby in Roundhouse Park.

Welcome to the Echelon. I am mixed with the foundations of this place. I am near and i am in your dreams.. The game is a cover-up. It's characters and it players are of no concern to you. What you will see them in the puzzle. Pay no attention. America is rich with secrets. written off as folklore and superstition. I have awakened to remind everyone of the truth. I exist in another story that you may know, but now is my time to awaken you to a broader sense of reality. We begin with the treasure hunt scene. You have two weeks to situate yourselves in accordance with the map. Gate number one is a glass floor. I will not hold your hands. Signal your success with clarity. Failure is expected. Success will be rewarded.


Also of note is the subject line I got in the anonymous email, "File Under Subway" Someone needs to go get a file methinks.

That guy reminds me of Nick Nolte...but aged. LOL.

That is most definitely the CN Tower and SkyDome (white dome beside it). I have no idea what Roundhouse Park is. I go to Toronto for work on and off so I know my way around.

Oh "gate one is a glass floor" the CN Tower has a glass floor. So we might all have to go to the CN Tower. Maybe from the glass floor we will see something near where that park is. You ave a great view of the city from there....it's pretty at night.

that second red image is NOT of the skydome... it's a building nearby Roundhouse Park

EDIT; I believe it's a subway because of the subway reference in my email..."FILE UNDER SUBWAY"

I meant on foot I haven't been there. *headhand* I can read a map. Clarification: I meant that the Skydome is near the CN Tower so that whomever was picking up said package could get their bearings.

Anyone live in Toronto?

 		Second video posted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JHKQfhRx7w

Title: tgiacu: the end result

tagline: everything they know is a stumbling block to you

Transcript -- probably a little rough, so please feel free to correct it:

~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to the Echelon. I speak to your dreams. Soon I will harm them. Can you find my hidden city? Somewhere along the beams that connect the points of a triangle, it waits. Machines, time travelers, moon rocks, sea monsters, film makers, missing planes, and ???? inventors. I welcome all, but only two can stay. Dream well, as though each trip out your door might be your last. For it might.
~~~~~~~~~~~

This is one to keep an eye on. Smile
