So wait, where exactly is Jeff? I'm sure most of us are familiar with the state of my computer by this point, so can someone give a quick recap to the most recent video? Also, should I text Jeff or Dan? Im not clear about what I'd be texting them about though... Haha.

Good find Sylvia. Well done.

Would you mind telling us what you used to obtain the screen cap.

Thanks

Well, my trip was unsuccessful. By this, I mean that roughly 10 miles into said trip, my car up and died. It got very cold, waiting for my unhappy friend to come pick me up.

So yes. I've nearly sacrificed my car for this. I'm told it'll be an easy fix- they've just got to change the... headlight fluid... or whatever, and then my ugly little zombie car will be as good as old. So I'm not too upset. But I'm gonna be freaking angry if this game implodes, now! Razz

Thanks Strikethrough for trying. Hate that things didn't go well but glad the problem is minor.

Datango, the image is toward the end of the video. I screen capped it then used my image software to rotate it 90 degrees clock-wise.

Miki, I'm working as hard as I can to get the video up at youtube for you to view. I had to divide it up in to 4 parts. As soon as they are up and ready to be viewed I will post here.

MrToasty, it looks like your up. Let's hope you don't have any problems. If so, I'll start believing that warning giving to us to not watch those videos.

Thanks Sylvia! The youtube videos work great. So what exactly happened..?I know that was Steve that like, warped or whatever, so do we assume the same thing happened to Jeff? I think we really need to find someone to get that box. It seems like Cedar Rapids is cursed, what with all the car breakdowns and dead people teleporting. Haha. Might I add that I've never seen so much snow somewhere that isn't a mountain. I'm from CA, sorry.
So I think I may text either (or both) Dan and Jeff. To Jeff I'll probably ask something like "where are you and are you okay," but the issue of Dan is more complicated. Should I even bother trying to get ahold of Jeff? Dan seems more likely to be able to respond, given the circumstances, but maybe not the right choice. Any ideas?

I truly don't know miki. maybe you should try both. We need answers.

The part that worries me is this:

bullerman.net/hide wrote:
You missed the fun. I have everything I need. Thank you for your cooperation.


so, if Dan has all he needs, then he no longer needs us. and What does that mean happened to Jeff?

It sounds like Jeff was being attacked but then we clearly hear someone getting in the car at the end of the video. There is no way to tell what really happened. It's possible that Dan was putting Jeff in the car and has abducted him. But I wouldn't have a clue how to help him unless Dan contacts us.

I guess that package is our only hope at this point.

And maybe, we are in denial, that the game is over. Just someone go get that package. Then if it's over we can set up a PM chat.

OK, I'm back from my trip now. I'll do what I can to hunt for the package today.

I think we trusted the wrong guy. I hope that the package has answers, because I'm starting to think that we're not going to get a response from either of them.

Also, in the fourth part of the YouTube video, look at 1:00 - 1:01. Anyone else think this looks like distorted text? It's difficult to see when it's just playing, but if you sort of stop-and-go it looks like words. Kind of hard with the YouTube video, but if anyone has the downloaded version and could maybe look at the frames / post them here?

I hope this isn't over! That would make me very sad. Crying or Very sad

Miki: I thought the number Natas had was Dan's or Jeff's brother? I didn't think he actually had Jeff's phone number. I could be wrong though,

I checked the original and couldn't find anything that looks like writing. Some quality was lost when it was uploaded to youtube. But, still all I could see was the odd static.

faeryqueen21, we've had Jeff's phone since near the beginning of the game.

Huh, weird, totally forgot all about that. Oh well. Then yeah! Text it! Doubt we'll get a response from Jeff, but maybe Dan might be ballsy enough to respond as his captor.

OK, I was able to sneak away from work for an hour. I found the tombstone pretty easily. Walking up I was afraid it was gone already, but fortunately it was placed on the side away from the drive and out of sight. The box contained a bunch of rocks and a note:

Oh Wow! I am so jealous you got to do a real life find! That's awesome! I guess we'll get cracking on that file we're supposed to find.

cstrife311 is a sn on AIM. I was not home when they signed on so I could not find out if it is IG or not. Thought I should throw that out there though.
