I wish I could disagee with you. There are ALWAYS things to be working on. Whether or not we have identified them is another story all together though...

Nice list Tres! I had forgotten some of those!

Brody's message echoes one from V to me from a long time ago, and the second part of it is another Stephen King quotation right?

The telephone number on jtbon...didn't we try it/them?

Brody's blog clue...no idea there...maybe thats something worth piecing together.

xdeppansx pic - isn't that the one we thought was stegged, but we tried and never broke it?

Bag face...is there a meaning or is it just the past film?

Yes, I found an interview with Stephen King where he said, "What's done is done and what's fun is fun." Brody also said what's done is done in a blog entry, "11/17 Tapes
found a tape from a couple of weeks prior to the start of shooting, when I finally went over to see the place.
It was a little to close to the past, but what's done is done.

How do we go back to this time?"

Yes also on the xsdeppansx image. No one got anywhere with trying to desteg it. I believe it may be a section of the jtbon1007 image when you enlarge it.

I believe there's some particular meaning to the Bag Face film entry that we haven't gotten yet (based on a TM comment).

It seems to me they wouldn't give an image with a phone number on it without a reason. Every time I look at it I see something different, so I think we just didn't get the right combination yet.

NICE tres! You should be a stage manager! You've always got everything at your fingertips!

What about the car-crash image
'look within for hope'


Should we each take a puzzle to wrestle with?


I've been working on the Brody's Blog letter puzzle. Tried Rotating it and anagraming the results, NADA other than 'dead at eddy', which I don't think means anything. I also tried a basic Sherlock Holmes decode but I'm not seeing anything that makes sense to me YET.

dsdc cz

Z = T or N or F or M or S


EDIT: OK UF formatting won't let me copy my work in without formatting it all weird. What I did was I assumed that 'c' had to be either 'A' or 'I', since it is a one-letter-word. Then I figured that 'z' had to be either 'T', 'N', 'M' , 'S' or 'F' because it has to make a 2 letter word with either 'a' or 'I'.

___i is i _si
___a at a _ta

___A am a _ma

___a at a eta

___i it I _ti

___i in I _ni

---I in I uni

Right-o

Ok, well Tres, since you came up with these, why not make new threads for solving them. Our organization sucks as of late. If you could, include the necessary pics/links as part of your first entries. I can help you track some of them down if necessary.

Hawk, I'm not sure making new threads is the answer since most of these clues, except for Brody's blog, fall within existing categories. I think a couple of things got a little off track in the move, but it'll sort itself out as we move forward. And I'm trying to keep in mind what TM said to amandel, which was to focus on the timeline and having a clear goal.

As you wish, but stuff gets lost quite easily...

Mirror, I have been looking at some similar potential solves, but no dice as of yet. Its not caesar as far as I can tell...

Edit- I misspelled 4 words...man I cannot type

Nope, not Caesar. I tried all available rotations. Unless it's a mixed rot...then it could say "tits by a jlo"

I am gonna take a stab in the dark and guess thats probably not it Wink The more we eliminate, the less possibilities there are though!

I am quickly nearing the boundries of my code-breaking abilities...why can't it be a crossword or a word searh?!?!

Good Idea--us each taking an unsolved puzzle.

Hi y'all--I've been working for awhile on the "waiting rooms and sedatives image from Jagt's blog". I found some writing on it which may relate to the accident and I have had an email in to Jagt for a couple of days already. If it pans out I'll post it all including my 2nd rate photoshopping,Jagt's reply and the "retrograde amnesia"/sedatives aspect(no deluge of med links,I promise) on the proper thread.

Just a side thought as I am getting caught back up over the past few days. Since we think that Brody ends up in the water, I wouldn't want to ignore the fact that an eddy is:

A current, as of water or air, moving contrary to the direction of the main current, especially in a circular motion.

Just saying. It's not uncommon to drown in an eddy when one cannot get out of the whirlpool...
