Re: Possible significance of the title interesting

The title of this reminded me of the old fable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant
And perhaps that story is not so off-topic as it may first appear... thinking the game/experience may be different for each player, depending upon what they input...
Rich posted that March 7th (before 'play' really started), and now we're coming back around to it again. I'd definitely say it's in play for the "theme" of the story. (Story?) I wish there was some cohesion to the storytelling here. I REALLY want this to have a cool story.

welp, i don't get what's going on here exactly. but it does seem that somebody has been editing the images on mindboulders. i mean, other than the obvious of adding in the rocks. and although it may be a coincidence, there are 20 images and 20 rows in the password page. who knows, might be a red herring.
this puzzle may be too hard, or it may be something we passed up.

Mostly lurking now, why isn't this getting more clear?
OK, just for kicks, some of the new things on the Mindboulders website:
- Lima is now on the front page. Wha?
- Captain Jack is dead. "his mother and i will never forget" Is Bobby Jack's father?
- Bobby loves Stacy but she does not believe 'stacking' is real. Lots of frustrated posts on the blog. "i'm going to have it all when this site becomes viral". Funny.
- has anyone emailed Bobby with a 'stacking' photo?
Random thought: maybe the number of boulders in each photo is a hint for the password?

i emailed bobby with my photo. he wrote back asking for permission to post it and i gave it to him but it was very late last night.
as for the number of rocks, i wrote them all down but then lost it but i tried putting it in as a password and it didn't work. someone else feel free to try again though.

I got mine too. Did you submit an image? I did. Thought it might be name/code of image, but its not uploaded or anywhere on regular mindboulders.

I got my code, as well... I wonder if there's anything that we can do with it yet? I don't think so, the e-mail told us to keep it to ourselves for now...

I am thinking now it must be related to the images we sent... anyone get a code who did NOT send a pic?

Interesting thing is that they haven't actually posted the pictures. I'm not entirely sure they are going to...may have just been a way to keep us involved. Obviously they want us to solve this big 20x20 puzzle, but I hope it's obvious that we're probably not going to. At least I'm not, unless some bolt of insight hits me out of the blue.

I'm thinking that the password will be related to the codes that they are giving us for sending in pictures. So, if enough people send in images we might get what we need to crack the 20x20 puzzle.
I'm going to try and send in an image now.
