Clueless if the APC update is a Key for the Archive pic or the letter string. Spoilering what I see to not "spoil" the fun
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
UNION ARMY OFFICER
EDIT: The latest update at the APC Blog indicates there will be four keys, all needed for the next Archive.

Updates: There's a PW protected page (Buried.html) at the APC site and a blog image called "key2&3.jpeg"....
Clueless about the PW page but the letters on the blog image (BLSOAOKLRWNL) are a Civil War anagram:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Key2: anagram is "Barlow's Knoll", the site where the Union troops were overrun on the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg SOURCE
Key3: (a possibility) when the jpeg is opened in notebook it's labeled "white horse". And the Civil War hero "General Grant rode Methuselah,his favourite horse, a white stallion...."etc. SOURCE

Thx 'tho am befuddled b/c " Meade was the union commander at Gettysburg". So to which "union army officer" is FREMMA(frank/emma ) leading us? ETA: John Buford . a Union cavalry officer prominent at Gettsyburg, rode his white horse there.

Now I feel less bad about having a BA in American Studies with a focus in American history and not knowing this stuff.
Granted, my focus was on the 20th century, but I feel like I should know this stuff.

short question, did you guys put your real adresses? I don't feel comfortable doing that, besides I'm from Korea, so I doubt anyone would ship something there lol.

I did because in some games they send players notes or information through the post. I honestly don't think that there are psycho killers in this ARG, but I'm sure you could withhold your addy if you want.

It's just that I live with VERY conservatist (?) parents, that would not appreciate if I get mail form the USA. (yeah I know lol,...)
I'll just use a friends adress. Thanks.

Don't worry, I didn't put in any address and as far as I'm aware I haven't missed out on anything.

I've submitted my second assignment. Here's a link to it on my APC photo album.
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/h9vXpcDYDNyGhhZNigLP9T_7yg_l-sSU59aLV4ZCd50?feat=directlink
The thing that is kinda irritating me with this game is that I sent 2 separate e-mails asking questions about content (the photo was supposed to be a tad more suggestive than the one I ended up submitting) but got absolutely no response. I don't know if I should be sending those question e-mails to someone else or if the PMs are being neglectful. As much as I'm enjoying the treasure hunt with the clues I expected to actually get at least a touch of feedback on the photos I submitted. I mean, if we aren't going to get any sort of feedback on our assignments as a whole (Amandel is super lucky and I'm totally envious) then why should we keep doing them? Even a short "Yes, a bit of suggestive imagery is acceptable," or a "No, keep it G rated," e-mail would have sufficed. SOMETHING!
Anyway, what has everyone else submitted?
