I'm not sure but they are in the original pic so I guess its not a clue. I was wondering if maybe he wrote some kind of message on the pic. Hm, maybe theres some flickr page out there connected to this?? Who knows.

I am going to try to desteg it with all ROT forms of imagesssexy and GEESAMISSEXY. I will edit when done. BTW I tried Robert Frost because it shows the skyline in one of the videos while showing a Robert Frost poem. I thought if we had to go waaaaaaaaaaaay back to find the next step, possibly we had to go waaaaaaaaay back to find the answer.

EDIT: Meh I started and then realized it was after midnight and I have some work to do. I edit safety videos for a chemical company and I have a deadline to meet. Mad

honestly i doubt the geesamissxy is used twice... and imagesssexy was just the link to the picture..TDC has yet to double up on hints/solves... if you planned to ROT anything, I would try the next line of the poem after:

"So I sat in the house
All that cold, cold wet day."

Either the next line, or that line. Geesamissexy is going to be a deadend, im tellin ya.. but hey i would love for you to be right, cuz this password is makin me want to pull my hair out..


EDIT: I just got a response from Michael Taylor on the FET boards (been a LONG time since I heard from him). It was in response to my inquiry about why exactly he would have a stegged pic on his website, and who exactly has access to his administrators account. The fact that TDC led us to the pic doesnt quite solve the mystery for me, and Michael said that was a very good question and he would ask his brother (Andrew) about it immediately. Apparently I peaked his interest, so im curious as to what his response will be.

The fact that I recieved a PM from Michael Taylor most likely means Tom will be responding very soon...we'll see.

Woah, didnt see this one..
NEW TDC/Michael Taylor Posts on FET

New topic Tom created:

Some information you SHOULD be interested in

Link:

http://finderictaylor.informe.com/viewtopic.php?t=112&highlight=


Ok, first Toms post to Michael:


Quote:
Hello Michael,

You don't know me, but I know you very well, and I know even more about your son. My real name is unimportant - you can call me Tom. For awhile now I have been leading a group of very talented individuals on a puzzle trail, with the promise that critical information about your son is hidden at the end of this trail. They are very close to obtaining this information - they already have been told how to find the second to last password, they just don't realize it yet. They are farther along than you and those who assist you. I would suggest that you get into contact with the people who post on this forum and find out what you can from them. I am sure this information will significantly affect how you deal with Sam Deercot during the next part of his story. You don't have to believe me, or this information, but just think about the consequences if I'm right and you do nothing.

Sincerely,

Tom D. Cesear



Michaels Reply:

Ok, is this a joke? Who are you, and if you really have information about my son, why not just come out and say it? I'm not interested in playing games, so if you have something to say, say it. Otherwise don't waste my time.

Michael Taylor



Ok Kinda-Sorta Hint by Tom from above post:

"...I have been leading a group of very talented individuals on a puzzle trail, with the promise that critical information about your son is hidden at the end of this trail. They are very close to obtaining this information - they already have been told how to find the second to last password, they just don't realize it yet..."


So what exactly have we been told??

HEM?
It will be yours to make.?

"So I sat in the house
All that cold, cold wet day."

Thats all I can think of, since the last Pic...

He didn't really say anything beyond "we've already been told.." but I think it's good that you jumped into the conversation. The more Michael talks, the better chance we have at TDC talking there again.

Oh, and by the way, I know I haven't posted in months.. mass confusion moving into college. I've been trying to catch up with what's going on here though. So hello to everyone I haven't talked to in ages and also to any new players I haven't met yet. Smile

The way he says it, "they already have been told how to find the second to last password."

To me, says we have to "find" the password or find the clues to the password. Maybe there is a flickr page out there.

Ugghh I think im all Flikr'd out here.. ive tried millions of ROTs for Flikr AND Blogger, to no avail.

On top of that, my ancient computer only has Windows ME so Im not able to run Google Talk, so i can talk to Tom. Dagnabbit..

HE M... could be THEM or He Made (or anything beginning with M for that matter), or tHE Monkey

well we know the line - "it will be yours to make" refers to "Choice", the password for the hat pic.

there is definitely some importance in him changing the "we" to "I" in the line:

"So I sat in the house
All that cold, cold wet day."

ALSO: HEM could be the first three letters someone would find if they were to be looking up Ernest Hemingway.. anyone know anything about him?

It's been a while, but off of the top of my head:

Hemingway's mother dressed him up as a girl until he was about 5 or 6, the supposed reason bieng that he had a sister about a year older than him and his mother had always wanted twin girls. During this time, she called Ernest her "dutch dolly" until he grew tired of the charade and informed her that dutch dolly was now "pawnee bill"

His first wife (I believe it was his first) lost a suitcase full of all of his manuscripts, forcing him to rewrite everything from memory. What he couldn't remember word for word, he lost. Don't quote me, but I think they might have divorced because of this...?

Throughout his adolescence, he was an insomniac, and terribly afraid of the dark.

His style of writing was unique in the sense that instead of writing out sentences and going back over them, he would painstakingly go over it word for word as he was writing it.

I am probably no help. I am sorry I can't give you more, this is really all I can remember from when I was a kid. If you would have asked me about 13 years ago, I could have told you everything there is to know about Hemingway.

This may be a stretch, but seeing as though Tom said we've already been told how.. I decided to start adding things together.

For instance, the fact that Tom replaced "we" with "I" made me think it had to fit an anagram of the sentence... so, when I anagram whole sentences, I naturally look for a "Dot Com" inside it first.

Sentences: "So I sat in the house All that cold cold wet day"

Contains: "Dot Co..."

Then I came up witht he idea that maybe HEM was to be added to this.. which completed the "Dot Com" idea. Fooling around with it a bit, I came up with:

So I s ouse ll hat l ld we day HE

Cat in the Hat Dot Com
(Remaining letters: SOISOUSELLHATIIDWEDAYHE)

Then I saw "AT" so I thought, Maybe its an E-Mail Address...

"@CatintheHat.com" (Remaining letters: SOISOUSELLHIIDWEDAYHE)

From the remaining letters, the words that could be important are:

Seuss, "Sues Dead", "Sue Died", Holiday, "Sue Lied"

Hmph..


UPDATE: Damn I think Im on to something here.. I would have loved to have solved this on my own but.. from the sentence:

"So I sat in the house All that cold cold wet day HEM"

I got the anagram:

SUE HAD A TWIN CALLED SALLY (SHEITHETOOTH ) DOTCOM


Sally is the name mentioned in Cat in the Hat.. it COULD make sense as to why Tom chose this specific poem... what do u guys think??


ALSO: Ive come to realize that the PM doesnt really make typos in this game, so when i saw one in TDC's recent post to Michael on the FET boards, I decided to highlight it... here it is:

Quote:

fArther along? Doesnt he mean fUrther along? Interesting...

CMON GUYS, BRAINSTORM!!! This only works if people are throwing ideas out there, otherwise we'll continue to be stuck until Tom bails us out... again.

Another Possible Anagram:

"When Sue died, Tom told Sally that..."


this is so frikken frustrating!!! Im not even positive it even IS an anagram!!


REPLY FROM TOM: Apparently he is referring to the convo from the "insight" file... I really dont know why he wrote this though, I had been asking about the "cat" file... ugh.. all this time and this still doesnt help...

I didn't alter that conversation at all. What you see is exactly what they wrote.

probably just ignored it? Probably?? Im goin nuts on this password.. I wanna solve this on principle alone.. i wont let this beat me!

so i guess what we have been looking at so far isnt it.. we ignored the clue so it has to be something we havent discussed... maybe the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California? Anders Brownworth? www.anders.com?

ok so obviously he is trying to tell us something with the response myself and youth got... I think he may be stressing the part that says: "..everything is exactly how THEY wrote it"

so.. I think we're supposed to find out who THEY are..

After talking with Nicole last night, she told me that 5/11/07 was right about the time the CM was dropping messages about Phase Two (P.T.) so it would probably be safe to assume that one person is Sam...

Sam and Tom?
Sam and Michael?
Sam and Andrew?
Sam and Sue?? lol
Sam and Mary?
Sam and Linda?
Sam and.....Sam?!!?!?
