LOL, I figured that's what happened. Even using the "Code" button won't print it properly but the post is here:
Location - Location - Location
I'm not seeing any images for Palamedes though, where are you seeing that?

I need to recollect my thoughts on this for a minute so please excuse me while I type out loud a little. There are so many loose ends I don't know what to be working on now.

First, all of Alice's Evidence seems to me to be of little or no use besides giving us background story info. The family tree pages keep sticking out in my mind though.

The file sizes of some images in the Adoption Pack tell us there is obviously something there but I have no idea how to get at it. I have guessed passwords from names, birthdates, employee numbers and George's car list all the way to "banana" with no result. Maybe there is another type of encryption for images? I don't know much about that.

Which brings me to... George's Yard. We still need to figure out passwords for the cars and I guess identify which car relates to which person.

The Powers Patios site has got to be useful at some point. Have we gotten anything from that site yet besides the email address?

We're still missing four of the pieces of the Rumpelstiltskin image. These will give us a URL that is sure to be helpful.

And now we are told to locate Alice.

Am I missing anything? We have a lot of work to do and I have no idea where to go next. There have got to be some passwords staring us in the face somewhere.

EDIT: nevermind, I found the photos for Palamedes

I think the biggest deal is the Spirit Store. Location: Dundalk.
http://www.spiritstore.ie/about.html
Built on George's Quay, which seems like too much of a coincidence to me. A few to many Georges in Dundalk for my liking, especially those that seem to be involved in this case.

*Edit* and yes, that seems to be an accurate representation of the situation.

We also haven't found the login for the Identicryption intranet, right?

Also... this probably isn't significant, but "Alice's Evidence" is also the name of the last chapter in "Alice in Wonderland".

What do you guys make of the thumbs.db file in the adoption pack? I tried changing the extention to .txt so I could open it in text edit, but then it just looked like endless pages of random symbols.

"thumbs.db" is the system-generated thumbnail database file in the Windows operating system.

Quite an annoyance, actually; Windows creates it randomly and without warning, and one always ends up FTP-ing it along with the rest of the files.

That's interesting. Has anyone searched for Alice in Wonderland on Dogearred Dreams? Laurie Arms is in Hammersmith, London. It looks like these are all pubs. I've got to go for a while but I'll be back at it again around midnight. Good luck guys!

Yes I've tried Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll. Nothing. Maybe I'll go try Through the Looking Glass just in case.

Yeah, I've done all the different Lewis Caroll books and permutations that I could, and nothing... It's quite the quandry. I figure that eventually we'll be given some more clues to lead us along, Alice always gives a helping hand when she feels like it.

I sent Palamedes a question on Aftermath in response to his Location, Location, Location post. I know it's not worded the best but it was late and I was frustrated with not getting anywhere in this game for days.

Jain wrote:
If you don't mind me asking, about your post - I thought we already knew where Alice was? Are you speaking of a different Alice than the one who posts here too?


And this is his reply:

Palamedes wrote:
Have you asked there about Alice? The message is waiting.


So we need to ask about Alice somewhere, do you think he means the pubs that he posted?
I also sent a message to Max but haven't heard from him yet.

Just got a new message from Max (Took about 4 days for him to reply)
Quote:
I'm going to check out the railway areas around Dundalk... there are a
lot of tracks and old stations around the town and I guess some of
them are possibilites.

Paul is a guy that worked (works?) at Identicryption and he was
involved in whatever the hell was going on there. Last I heard he was
scared as hell to roll on them but he's the best person to nail them
for this.


Anyone have any luck tracking down Paul?

I think Paul is still away as far as we know. He should respond to Scotty's email when he is able to. I asked Max if he thought any of the venues posted by Palamedes had any signifigance to Karen and this was his reply:

Nothing that i can think of. The Spirit Store is one of Jen's locals. It's a really popular place but I can't think what it would have to do with any of this mess...

Well I downloaded Google Earth and checked the exact coordinates of each picture he posted. Couldn't find anything useful.

I've also checked out The Spirit Store's website and forums. Nothing I could see there.

I also checked the Amber club Karen mentioned on theaftermath. Nothing.

How about we try to guess Paul's gmail account password and see if anything is there?

I'm still not convinced that this Palamedes character is in game.

Got mail from mike on aftermath I mailed to see where he was

I'm fine! You don't have to worry about me, honey. I'm back in Cork for the minute. Don't think I have much info that's of any use. Any idea what was up with all that crazy code that Palamedes guy left of the forum was about?
