The file we were given was e.rar. Inside that was an image with an 'e' in a square, plus a file called e.iso. This file wasn't actually an iso file, just a plain text file. Whole lotta e's and a false extension. What can we make of all that?


e in a square with a large "X"
e with extension ISO
e with extension RAR
clickable e's on bullerman.net
ely, Iowa

still a blank. I'm still sifting through all the new files and video though. Maybe I'll have an epiphany.

 		hallo evryone! im back stuff and vacation started so i hope this starts up again. Now, im just picking around here, but is there a reason that the box with the e is in that place, or is it just there??? and, why is the e in the top left corner??? picking at air... Crying or Very sad
EDIT: if you flipped the image on its side, would it give you different coordinates?????????? id try it, but i have no clue on how to get coordinates.

like i said, I got no clues, but mabye mr.toasty will get something in ely, iowa

Well, a lot of Cedar Rapids is currently underwater due to extreme flooding and many of the roads in the area are closed or will be closing this weekend. I don't think there is anything in Ely, but if there is it's going to be at least a week before I'd venture that way again. We've been a little luckier in Iowa City for now, but that will all likely change this weekend.

Would the coordinates be different if you flipped the "e" picture on its side??? I've been wondering that for a bit. Very Happy

Correct. The file was "e.iso" but was really just a flat text file. One thing I did notice just now is that the ISO file is set to 'hidden.' I have Windows set to show hidden files, so I didn't notice that before, even though the icon is semi-transparent. D'oh. So, I wonder if weren't necessarily supposed to see the file initially and that the 'dead' image was trying to point to that. Dunno. Dunno

 		Just read through the page for the game.

Looks like we need to get into the craig page.

Likely need to get that DVD compilation from Cstrife311..

From the most recent chat log it looks like cstrife311 may be more than 1 character (he didn't seem to know jacks even tho he was the initial contact)

Also cstrife311 was originally used as a contact address by Jeff.

On a side note, JB was a name that came up a lot in part 1.

JEFF BUCKLEY - ALIVE is the song that keeps getting referenced.

Coincidence?


Side note to PM: Game looks great, the videos seem to be quite well done and contain a lot of hidden information, which You Tube absolutely kills (and you tube is the only source we currently have for any vid removed from the site) If there were an archive of the videos available, either through bullerman.net or another site, so new players could see ALL the videos relating to the game it would be great. I have seen reference to some really important videos on the boards here and there's no database I can find that includes these videos that can be accessed for new players such as myself.

 		Thanks ko' for summing that up- we needed it Smile are you just joining? we need all the help we can get. I still think some of us should focus on the event video- we havent found jack about it.
