 		Good and horrible, I'm glad I'm not the only one stumped. However, this isn't good, no one has any ideas at all, we'll wait to see if hints surface.

 		New convo
Seems Dan is getting impatient, this is crucial, he seems to make it clear that play.htm is our target. I'm gonna try examining that source. Here's the convo...

Quote:
AIM IM with cstrife3118/20/08
Musicadonum: Hello Dan
cstrife311: Hello
cstrife311: I thought you would have seen you by now
Musicadonum: You've been kind of vague about who she is, I assure you if we know no females who know anything of your project...
cstrife311: She isn't real...well she might be
cstrife311: Its just me having fun
Musicadonum: All is prepared, I have the screentest ready for transfer
cstrife311: But you're right, I'm growing tired of waiting and I need you
cstrife311: She resides on my fun little page
Musicadonum: Does she now?
cstrife311: She does
Musicadonum: Now unless you're referring to our crispy friend over at play.htm, than even I am unaware of this.
cstrife311: Maybe you should ask her then.
Musicadonum: now now, don't be foolish, I cannot speak to a jpg, tho that would be rather fun.
cstrife311: but she can tell you things
Musicadonum: She can, can she?
cstrife311: play with her
Musicadonum: Play with a picture?
cstrife311: she will tell you what you need to know
cstrife311: that is all i can say. I'm growing impatient.
cstrife311: You have a team correct?
Musicadonum: I do
cstrife311: I thought you were smart
Musicadonum: We're smarter than you think
cstrife311: we'll see
cstrife311: find her let her tell you
cstrife311: that is all i can give. You have until tomorrow night....I will show you what I can do...and will continue to do..unless i can see you
Musicadonum: Oh you will
cstrife311: Don't toy with me
Musicadonum: I don't play games.
cstrife311: To find me you must
cstrife311: Let her speak
cstrife311: She tells a story
cstrife311: I must go. I feel an event is soon to happen.
Musicadonum: Farewell then Dan...
Musicadonum: I'll see you soon
cstrife311: You had better hope that I see you soon friend
cstrife311 has gone offline.


maybe a hidden file, based on something.

 		I hope this doesn't spoil how creepy play.htm is, but I went to it's source and saw the image 150133217_696d5d1de5.jpg and seeings as that must be HER I decided to ASK(.com) Her. (searched "150133217_696d5d1de5.jpg" at ask.) and the first hit was an XML file for a blogger site. I found the real site and this is the story of how the face was made... http://makemonsters.blogspot.com/2006/05/project-four-weird-skin-texture.html

also, this is a guy... so... back to square one, we gotta figure this out.
(PM, if this was unintentional and we weren't supposed to find out this is not a woman, I'm waving my white flag. I've looked at every ounce of source available to us.)

Just a reminder to all still thinking on this, /user was only accessed once and is now locked, but the absolute only things I found there were posted there was nothing else. So the UserSPLATbullerman.net (which if you email returns a daemon saying it doesn't exist.) is basically a dead end. I am officially stumped.

 		Has anyone tried to destegg the image from /play.htm? Maybe we just need to screw around with that image a bit? That's about all I can come up with right now, but it seems like he's pointing us in that general direction.

I would try destegging, but I am at work and don't have camo or anything like that installed.

Edit: /play.htm has changed. Now says "My name is Anne. Would you like to play? If you have a question, look deep inside of me for the answer." I also can't get the image to load.

 		/play.htm changed again
Sorry for the double post, but /play.htm has changed again. I think he has given us what we need.

You're lucky I'm far too busy to wait around. Seeing you will take me quite a while. I need to analyze you deeply. See what is on your mind.



Coreftp works brilliant

user@bullermandotnet

funtimeplease


Maybe we need to try the normal port 21 with the user name "user" and the password "funtimeplease". I don't have my vid or an ftp client on my work pc. I looked up Core ftp and it is a free ftp client.

 		Solved
Ok, so it wasn't without a puzzle but I connected and my screentest is transfered.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It wasn't User as the username, but the full name and dot turned to . so here's the info...

Hostname or IP or Address: ftp.bullerman.net
User: userSPLATbullerman.net
password: funtimeplease

I did this with the FireFTP addon for Firefox using the quick connect option but it can prolly be done with any FTP client. Also Fun.txt is there.


Good work everyone!

 		Update
No changes that I can see, Jacks and I have sent our screentests and are waiting on anything to happen. Anyone else have anything to report?

 		I just saw Cstrife online. I tried to send him a message, but he logged out a few seconds after I did. Confused

 		Brief Chat with Dan
I had a brief chat with Dan a little earlier this evening:

Quote:
8:49 PM me: well, hey there boss man
cstrife311: You work for me now?
So I see you're a bit shy.
8:50 PM me: nah...i just thought i would show you a bit of respect. shy....well, i like to maintain a low profile, you could say
cstrife311: Funny...you're video is being analyzed as we speak
unfortunately it may take a while.
8:51 PM me: that's understandable
cstrife311: Music on the other hand....was quick
i really appreciate you sending me the data. I ...like to see who I am working with.
8:52 PM me: well, it's no problem. i didn't mind it. are you going to share your analysis, by chance?
cstrife311: Oh I guess you haven't seen then.
I wouldn't hide anything from you.
8:53 PM me: no, i haven't "seen". looks like i need to do some poking around, huh
cstrife311: I suppose.
me: well, i do appreciate your candor with us
cstrife311: I appreciate your help.
This is working out nicely for the both of us.
8:54 PM me: no prob, just as long as i don't start seeing dead people walking around here
cstrife311: ??? I wouldn't imagine that possible.
8:55 PM Well, I wish you the best. I am awaiting your analysis. I will be in touch.

 		Yeah, that was a fun little conversation.

I think there may be another directory with our vids in it. I just wonder what they have done/are doing with them... Shocked I can't wait to see the analysis though. Should be interesting, at least.

 		Well then kids this one is mine, there's something in it but all I see right now is the word "Match". I'll break it down tonight.

[21:47] musicadonum: Well hello Dan.
[21:47] musicadonum: I would hope you've seen our screentests by now.
[23:19] musicadonum: Well hello Dan.
[23:20] cstrife311: Hello
[23:20] musicadonum: I see you've analyzed my screentest
[23:20] cstrife311: Yes, I have.
[23:20] cstrife311: Took a little time. Grainy feed takes longer
[23:21] musicadonum: Well then Jacks' must have taken you sometime
[23:21] cstrife311: its still analyzing
[23:21] cstrife311: been going for days
[23:22] musicadonum: He seems to be careful about showing his face to you.
[23:22] musicadonum: I however did not see cause.
[23:22] cstrife311: I suppose.
[23:24] musicadonum: I've played with you, now maybe you can indulge me, what is it that you have done to my screentest
[23:25] cstrife311: ???
[23:25] musicadonum: I've seen your analysis, what has happened to my test?
[23:26] cstrife311: It was successful
[23:26] cstrife311: Its just me looking at you
[23:26] cstrife311: no reason for it
[23:27] cstrife311: I wouldn't worry about it.
[23:27] cstrife311: I must go. Analysis almost done
[23:27] cstrife311 is offline
