 		Ok StableMabel thanks anyway...i'll try to find a wintendo to try it and see..
by the way i searched the address with google maps..found Jiading shanghai
but no Dongdajie St...i can find just only one Dongdajie Street in Bejjing..

Quote:
Dong Dajie meaning "large east street" in Chinese is the name of several main roads and markets in China.

but probably not important...

 		Hi all,

Just started reading this, I'm usually over at Marble Hornets, but thought I would give this a go. I'm staying away from spoilers, so far so good!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Although I was googling the website, I wouldn't have thought about just going to it! lol!


What do we do now? Send the info to the twitter account?

 		hmmm maybe we have to wait for the next update?

Well, we're not meant to have seen the order, so need to be careful if you do mention it to RedandMango, but it can't hurt to try!

On a seperate note, I was looking to see who redandmango is owned by, to see if it was owned by rafaman, but it is owned by WhoisProtector, Inc. It's a company that owns domains, so to keep the real owners secret. It could be IG or OOG.

 		There's something really wrong in all this....
first we find Chua/red and mango as a contact information at the gallery...
that make me think that the delivery of the Turner painting is gone that way....than we find that the contact info is a bathroom company....that is delivering something to rafaman...but the delivery is about the painting or a bathroom??
on more redandmango says that they delivery only in Australia and that if a customer is outside he has to provide for the transport...and our delivery is in shangai...
is redandmango a real IG company or is just a fake company that rafaman uses for the deliverys?
If is a real IG company all this makes no sense...

 		I sent a e-mail acting on behalf of rafanaman asking why the order was delayed. I got this response:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Hey,
Did you know that around 2.6 billion people in the world don't have a
toilet? I know, crazy.
Anyway, thanks for you mail. I'd say that we'll reply to you soon, but
to be honest, we're busy improving the world one dunny at a time –
there's 2.6 billion people out there who need us.
Sorry if we don't get back to you.
Cheers,
R&M

Seems like a OOG company Shifty Eyes

 		Nah this is definitely IG.

Fake!edit: yes xD what phantomaz said.

From the hidden info on the site...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):


Looks like a bathroom (maybe?) was placed on hold and the alternate package, i.e. the Turner was dispatched. So someone who works for R&M and has database access was able to change the delivery order? So Chua's a friend of our criminal? (I'm assuming Chua owns Red & Mango or at least works there...)

Either way it looks like the painting's in Shanghai from how I interpret the information.

ok, 1 thing, you can see that the website is part of the game, because of the language bar above the webpage, they are on all webpages the same. Even as part of the source code, you can see its an nDreams website.

About Unity, they use Unity to create games (they are currently creating an Iphone game in Unity if I say that right), I didn't know Unity had a 3D web player though...

Ok now ontopic. Im currently looking for anything specific, ill come back on this later.


-Q

edit: Just read the page before this. Nice find!!! and yes the game is really fun! Googled the awnser, and even translated it into chinese for google maps, but it looks like google maps can't find the street etc.

 		Qbrain: yep sure that is IG, but i can't understand if inside the game redandmango is a real bathroom company or just a cover...

and about unity...i don't like to have software requirement bound to a platform to play ARG....there is flash or js or vrml or what u want until is platform independent...

StableMabel: yep we have to find that damned Chua...

hmm well imagine that guy Chua wants a new bathroom, or uses that bathroom as a cover up for something, and RedAndMango just bought that painting to decorate up the bathroom or anything?

we need to follow the track of the painting, there is a possibility that the guy Chua just wants it in his bathroom created by RedAndMango, and then it goes wrong etc, got stolen, or whatever the story wants us to do... this is just the start. we still have untill october to complete this Wink

-Q

edit: Unlikely that this is the case, but you understand the point im trying to make. And call me Q btw, everyone does Smile Wink

 		mmmhhh no way cause these are the details of the gallery's sell

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
* Name:
* Location:
* Contact details:
* Sales history:
* Net return:
* Bidding history:
* Notify party if auction contain any of following tags:
* Southwaite's friend rating:

* Stevin Rafanaman
* Melbourne
* Chua/Red and Mango, Melbourne
* n/a
* n/a
* Canaletto (Venetian Masters, 2001)BS; Bison (Venetian Masters, 2001) BS; Géricault (French Masters, 2004) BS; Degas (Impressions of People, 2009) BS; Turner (Romantic Masters, 2009) BS; El Greco (Toledo Masterpieces, 2009) BF
* Géricault, Raphael, Titian, Velázquez, Van Dyck, Corot, Rembrandt, Reynolds, El Greco, Canaletto, Delacroix, Courbet, Degas, Monet, Manet, Seurat Impressionism, Surrealism, Old Masters, Turner, 19th century Art
* 7


so the buyer is definitively rafaman, chua/red and mango is given as contact details so probably is where the painting is went.
so chua can't be a redandmango customer cause rafaman is...
I think that the StableMabe'sl theory is the right one:
Quote:
Looks like a bathroom (maybe?) was placed on hold and the alternate package, i.e. the Turner was dispatched.

but how knows if the painting is actually in shangai or on the way...

P.S.
for the PM
""Sorry, Unity software doesn't work well with Safari on PCs or with Chrome on Macs. Try using a different browser."

 		Ok, so as it said the contact was Chua\red and mango, I tried Chua.com, no such place, so it defo looks like Chua works at red and mango. I think it is real IG company that fit's bathrooms, it just happens to deliver shall we say 'special fittings' to the right customers. Wink

Oh and by my earlier comment regarding IG / OOG, I meant that the site is IG, but the hiding of the domain's owner could be OOG to protect the PM or IG to protect red and mango.

Actually today is the first time that I haven't had issues with the Unity plugin on my mac. (I have uninstalled/deleted the library entries/re-downloaded/reinstalled over a dozen times in the past.)

The virtual bathroom works just fine with Safari 4 under Leopard.

While I would have been delighted to see an x3d implementation, at least I am pleased that the PMs didn't pick a windows only solution.
