Well I'll say this, I'm on the second mission. Either I'm way out of practice, or this one actually has some detective work and puzzle solving to it!

I'm enjoying it, I'll say that much.

EDIT:

Ah ha! Got it. Yes, it was simple, but I figured it out. heheh.

The camera interface worked this time, and I was able to select two of them. I then got the option to save it. Nothing happened.

When I reloaded the page, it told me I had 0 cams available and 0 cams selected. I'm not sure if this is a glitch, or if I had chosen the right camera, it would have instantly told me I saw Bourne and credited me for the sighting.


Well I'm glad you solved it, because I can't! I'm fairly sure I've got the passphrase right, but none of the handles I've tried have worked so far. Am I missing something?

The question is where to place the second camera..

The first one is fairly obvious from the clue, but the second, not so much. I know I recognise a few of the locations available though...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Pont Neuf - Where Bourne arranges to meet Conklin in The Bourne Identity (TBI)
3 Rue de Jarente is the hotel that he and Marie stayed in TBI
Not sure of the relevance of 142 rue montmartre
Also not sure about Gare d'Austerlitz as it seems to be Gare du Nord that was in TBI.
The others, the Eiffel Tower & Champs-Elysees are fairly standard locations to use for Paris and I can't think of anything specifically Bourne related for them.


Also, I'm fairly new to all this so thought it'd be safer to spoiler all that, feel free to correct me if I was wrong to =)

Finally got to see the cameras and place mine - but only after a few logouts and refreshes. And got to register for the prizes - which only worked if I held down the left mouse button with the cursor on the entry field. Flash, sometimes I just hate flash.

The details are on the page - but don't use the quotation marks. The IM is an autoresponse if you get the right code. It gives you one line and that's your answer.

And Estragon - for a guy called Godot it's a pretty obvious phrase Wink

I finally worked out where I was going wrong. I was trying to be too clever and use the translated phrase. Setters, you just need to lose the punctuation Wink

so, a new puzzle is up Very Happy
It's pretty simple, so I won't ruin it here
My question is, though: Has anybody gotten a notification that they spotted Bourne? I'm wondering how that works

photo url

The right person only has one picture - and you need the URL of the jpg, not the page with the picture on it.


OK, I found the picture, and I must be an idiot - when I put the url in the image decoder, it won't work - I get a red flash in the url line - which I assume means I don't have the right url. What am I doing wrong - can someone help me get started?

I am sure I found the right profile and photo as it is labled correctly.

Cameras

I haven't even got the url link to work in the image decoder, but I notice some people were having problems with the camera. In the directions, it does say:

"Access to the cameras is time sensitive. Make sure to place your cameras directly after completing your mission. If not, you won't have access again until you complete the next day's mission."

So there must be a certain timing element to having these work.

I was making the same mistake trying to use the image decoder Palm, I guess it will come into play later in the game...

If you go back to the Daily Briefing box above it, you'll see a submit answer button to use =)

yeah so far every camera I've selected has had a sighting and it now says "Days Played 3" and "Sightings 3".
