Also, what up with the codenames? I'm guessing:
Quote:

Cronk = TB

Wall-E = Craig


But still, what's the point of giving code names if the whole email that TB sent, just tells EVERYONE's name?

EDIT:
I'm feeling sadistic now.

Ryutso @ArlenRage I'm feeling sadistic now since Bettelheim and Jerry are messing with us. Ask Holly if she's married.


EDIT2:
Oh shiz, August 31st is tomorrow. You guys think something's going to happen even though we got Holly tied up?

Well played.

We'll be in touch with your group---so keep the girl alive and undefiled.

By the way, where is your Wulf? You'll need him to get into the Brightman.

Well well well. Not so much of a mexican stand-off anymore now is it?
Seems your chief has a personal interest in our little friend.
We have a list of demands, if he wants to see her alive again. And trust us, we have no desire to see her dead...so were not necessarily enemies in this.
Our demands:
First, answers to some questions. Why is the NSA interested in Bricker/Port? And, why would she masquerade as one of the watchers? For what purpose, and on whos orders?
Second, Access to the Brightman to speak to the oracle.
And Third, Bricker AND his family stay alive, sane and unharmed.

If ANY of our demands are not responded to in a timely manner, we have our friendly psycho pull the plug on our mutual friend..

-Alex

SHIT IS GOING DOWN!!
I guess we're getting everything we want. And that clarifies it...TB is not Jerry. Anyone know what happened to wulf?

EDIT: Also interesting to note is that TB's AND Jerry's emails are coming from somewhere in a PST time zone, which means neither are at NSA headquarters (near Baltimore). Also neither are in Arizona. (MST)
I know my email changes times depending on what time zone im in. (gmail) Im assuming that is a pretty standard feature, but I could be wrong.

Well that means that the stared-out email address is Jerry.

I thought Wulf was traveling.

Edit: Wulf's last post here was just about a week ago and that timezone thing is interesting to note.

So another waiting game.

Edit2:
Okay this is freaking me out. We've been in contact with the NSA.

http://www.1407oakhurst.info/ just got updated again and it's hacked by the CIA who says:

Quote:
we are willing to negotiate for her release


Who the heck are we up against now? The NSA is the agency that Holly works for, but the CIA wants to bargain?

Simple: We want Jenny on the mainland to meet with Port and Rage. When that is done we release Holly.

We know Jenny comes to the mainland and meets with Rage and Port in a dinner somewhere in OK. Some maybe we get them to deliver her to AR and Port.

Good idea. I already told TB that we wouldn't release holly until our demands are met. also, i've asked this before, but do we have a CIA contact?

Schwinn, can you contact BB and ask him if he has any contact info for Ron?

Yeah I think our only CIA contact info is through BB with Ron.

Unless he listed his email address somewhere back around page 40, when his name was first mentioned.

Wulf may be traveling. We will try to contact him.
Obviously, we will hold the girl until our demands are met. You can start by answering our questions.

Code:
74 5- 6 7-18 _-491 -3 91
2 _5-2 26-1 1 - 7  -6 66
3 91-491 -    -74 5-2 1_
1 1 - 72 - 7  -74 5-491
 9_ -3 91-6 66- 6 7-74 5
 7  - 6 7-_ 1_-3 91-2 26


A door code, perhaps? I dunno. Not seeing any obvious secret message patterns to the numbers, in any case.

Though... there's gotta be a reason for the grid. Um. If you add up the columns...
Code:
13 20 10 11 - 09 21 14 21 - 08 15 08 06 - 21 30 10 18 - 24 13 19 18


... does it mean something? Argh. Probably not. I have no idea what the underscores would stand for in that situation. );

 		Looks like it is a pass code. The 6 stars under the graphic of the camera would seem to indicate that it is 6 letter/numbers long. There are 6 rows of LCD numbers.

The number when converted to letters dont spell anything that I can make out.

ETA: according to Domain tools (http://whois.domaintools.com/1407oakhurst.info) there is one internal link. So once we figure out what the pass code is I assume that it is the name of a page... maybe

 		I completely suck when it comes to codes, but is this maybe where our contingency plan comes into play?

I don't know. I tried rot on the numbers converted to letters in every form I could think of, but it just came out as gibberish.

EDIT: Also, something that has been bothering me slightly, has anyone else considered the possibility that what we have been assuming are underscores are actually periods?
I remember my grandpa used to have an oldish digital LED watch that had a calculator on it, and the decimal place was shown by that same symbol...

 		Sorry for the absence all. I've been a bit busy with some other things recently. I think I'm pretty well caught up.
One thing I did want to mention, there was a "govtb.jpg" mentioned a page or so back - in one of the emails between spooks. I'm not sure whether it's even relevant, but I did find this.

In regards to the latest code on the portal website, was it just my machine, or did the center "block" not display any numbers while moving the mouse over it?

I'm going to keep playing with it a bit. The other thing I want to try, is to compare page#'s out of the package I received... As I recall there were highlighted words on specific pages. /shrug - just a thought.

Welcome back Wulf! My machine did the same thing, where the center block didn't display any numbers. I keep thinking I'm seeing patterns but the never work out...*tears hair out*

anyways, @Schwinn: I just checked the whois, and there is no longer an internal link. How odd...I read through it, then refreshed it, and noticed there were no internal links, though I could have sworn there was one just a few seconds earlier...

You may be onto something. If what we're looking for is in fact a 6 character code, they could be what separates between characters - there are six underscores in the code. Of course, my first thought was missing numbers, but the LED underscore/period sub makes sense.

Welcome back, Wulf!

EDIT: Alex, it did that to me earlier. I checked that page and it said there wasn't one, but now it says there is one.
