Well then. Looks like we now know where to get the next two words.

For clarification, people, we need to have 6 words today. Fiber said so. Our first four, are, of course, WELCOME YOUR NEXT VIDEO.

Does it strike anyone strange that he mentions the name of the person that referred him to flickr?

There is:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/Lena

but It doesn't look related on the surface.

We're trying to identify some of the crazy mandrake photos. The taxi appears to be from Vancouver.

The 'chairs' picture is Boca Juniors Stadium in Buenos Aires.

And the 'author of the tango song caminito' picture is Gabino Coria Penaloza, also an Argentinian.

EDIT: I haven't checked yet, but many of the pictures seem to be from the same Flickr user: http://www.flickr.com/photos/elaineck/

Follow up: Yep, they're all from this same (OOG) user. So now what?

The photo of the "author of the tango song Caminito" is a bust of author of the tango's lyrics, Gabino Coria Pe�aloza
he's in the middle. So that's what, three photos from Argentina? (ships, stadium, bust)

Moot now...

Does that mean that mandrake's mySpace and flickr are OOG, or does that mean that the PMs are being sloppy and using pics from this guys personal site?

Mandrake has updated his Flicker page with two new images.

The first is a picture titled grass that shows an old truck in a green grassy field. The captions is Green like MONEY. *cough* I guess we know what that's about.

The other is probably the creepiest picture I've seen yet in this game. Seriously, you have to see it to believe it. Anyway, it's titled Bole with pie and has the mysterious caption Get a clue: Direct observation or participation?

So is this supposed to lead us to our next clue in the ROT word trail?

Check out the background of bole with pie. That's probably the direct observation reference, eh?

this is my first post on anything like this, so, lol, be gentle. i have been reading some of the sites listed as official and this struck me.

MITTELWERK: Minsu, so great to see you.
MINSU: Dr. Mittelwerk. Good to see you too. Mr. Paik sends his warmest regards.
MITTELWERK: He's just saying that because we've paid him so much money.
MINSU: Ah. I see that it's straight to business.
MITTELWERK: As always.
MINSU: I think you'll be pleased to hear your ship is almost ready; with all the modifications. But I have to warn you - this kind of ship can't dock just anywhere.
MITTELWERK: We have a port. How long will it be?
MINSU: I'd say no sooner than three weeks.
MITTELWERK: Could you pass the pepper? So what will it take to make it 2 weeks?

this is not referring to the construction of a ship, but rather a refit. And a ship with quite a bit of mass if it cant just dock anywhere. which jumped back at me, when i saw this picture from the photo archive mentioned on this topic.

it could also possibly be related to
