Bookshelves pics

I don't know if you've already solved this one, if so fish slap me, but I noticed that in the two pics of the couple in front of the bookshelves, the second pic has letters whited out in the book titles. I havn't time for gaming right now, so I'm badly updated on progress.

Gave it a quick look, found:

= IN,M,B,U,O,D,L,E,A I guess it has to be scrambled. I tried the anagrammer and got: domain blue, email bound, a nimble duo, among other amusing things.

Now I have to stop for today. Really, stop playing! Now!! Mad <- to myself

Does anyone have thoughts about the two new pics posted yesterday? Mazes, or hidden images, or... ?

Haven't seen the video, will see it just as I get home...

I find it very interesting that the e-mail mentions the mindboulders site... Is Elephant using the fact that we found that site, or is the site really in-game?? ^^ i'd love to know...

TBH, I was surprised to have received it- I had forgotten about the game and nearly deleted the e-mail, but it sounded familiar. But it's not as though I've really been participating, so I thought it was pretty funny.

@diegohcarmonacr I was wondering that as well.

In the first email that Charlie wrote to Oscar:
Quote:

> >> >that
> >> >> >> >'stack'
> >> >> >> >> > haha)


There is nothing new on the mindboulders.com site it though.

In the Launch party blogtext, http://www.mindboulders.com/page/2/, it says:
Quote:
KING TUT doing his thing, poolside, at the mindboulders.com launch party. CHECK OUT OUR VIDEO CONTENT ON YOUTUBE to see it all.

But I couldn't find anything on youtube.

time
is not linear

i am trying to get a time line together for events thus far. i think the latest video we've received is the earliest in story time. "oscar" got the note in the box then ran to the overpass (past the tire rolling towards lima) and caught the "elephant talisman" brought it to "charlie" who had the "vision quest" episode (events from said "vision quest" are yet to be fleshed out--probably in future vids)

but i'm starting to think the blonde male "oscar" might be charlie? i'm not who i am? he got the box in the first email from a few days before march 7th.

a spreadsheet or calendar would be helpful with the 'to's and 'froms' and 're's and 'fwd's on the emails.

lastly, camera points of view are likely to figure in to who is seeing and how things are seen. why is "charlie" sporting an elephant head the second time we see him receive the "elephant talisman"?

sorry to ramble,

This could help: http://www.dialabc.com/sound/detect/

Those strange formatting ">> >>" seems somehow unusual.

middle and end
phone tag

Tones
this is the middle chunk of phone tag:
058168058168058168888888055816805581688
and this is the rest:
5813888888888888883888580016088858001605058168581680581562888288
it worked better in smaller chunks

see "hold the phone" below
