 		fine...if i must

first page is almost too easy

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
in the source code it says speak frand and enter; so replace "foe" with "frand" in the address bar


now you can see several pages of jack's frands....notice how he oh so subtly calls me a shit

hint: look at the words in the tabs as you browse each page; they spell out a message

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
go out with a bang


j.c. mentioned in chat that in hacker speak bang=!

then we noticed that on the frand page it had a ? in the tab, so JOHN solved this step

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
write /gooutwithabang? after frand in the address bar


then surprise, a gift

only the old guard players would know this one so i will just give it to you right out (one of the BEST moments from the game btw)

 		Picking up where Cyngs left off
After you log in, it takes to you another page displaying a cricket with the words "Decanthus Angustipennis" underneath.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The page name is "Hexiskey" and the background colour is 00FF01. Putting 00FF01 into Babbage links to a PDF:
http://www.x0l.nu/system/files/14/original/100712.pdf


The PDF has very very lightly written "STILL CANT READ MAH, CANT READ MAH"
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Go to the URL:
http://www.whoisspades.com/pokerface/

Props to Phyxius and Skudzy for that one.

This leads to a news article about Geoffrey Blackwell, and another puzzle.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Its Sudoku replacing numbers with the letters ATCYLSIOR. Some of the boxes are bold, and when you solve the Sudoku, the letters in the bold are CLAIRTY. This leads to the website:
http://www.whoisspades.com/clarity which redirects to:
http://www.whoisspades.com/whatsmynameagain/


This is where we currently are... The logo on that site links to another PDF of the Blackwell family tree.
ET correct some typos (I hate this editor)!

 		The solution to the family tree puzzle is:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The URL says "whatsmynameagain". Piece together hints and clues from the article on the sudoku page and the comments on the family tree pdf points to Bernice Blackwell as jack (Bernie Callum if using mother's maiden name).

Angels, you're such good hard working people. I'm going to miss you so much where I'm going. Yes even you.

The ? isn't necessary by the way. Since Azure isn't here to be critical of everything, I felt the need to fill in for him.

Miss you Azure! <3

 		Yeah it was great to be working on a puzzle with all you guys from the original crew. Nice wrap up to it all and i got to hear CRICKETS!! Very Happy

The remaining babbage files are from puzzles we havent solved yet. EG the colours in the videos (which one of the production team told me how to solve - something about a red square and the rgb code). I'll try and take a look at it tonight.

 		my take on all this

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So im not sure that i get all of this ending but "Spades" is a woman?? but we don't have a name? So i'm guessing that she must have been a faceless person on the production team?

 		no prowler

go over the family tree again,

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
jack=bernice callum=bernie callum=the tech person from blackwell briggs who we assumed was a guy this whole time but was a woman

if you look at her in the family tree she is from the family of blackwell briggs and bitter about her lost inheritence


who we knew as one of the possible jack suspects for some time

Just to correct... some players actually did suggest spade was female...
