I'm a little disappointed at the rush to decompile the flash and start using the information found there. We were just given this login page today, and who's to say we won't get the necessary information in tonight's episode? I don't think we've missed much so far and there has been no mention of Darkworld yet iirc. Personally, I'm going to hold off on logging into the site until at least after the broadcast tonight.

A big WOW to the fantastic puzzle solvers who broke into that website. You are really amazing. Obviously great minds are hard at work here.

Well, Creepy's tweet seems to indicate no foul, but I'd really like to know how we'd have gotten that solution the right way.

well, I resorted to decompiling, honestly flash is no good for arg...


I wouldn't say it's "no good". You just have to be ready for it as a Flash designer. Put as much work server-side as possible, 'cause whatever it may be you can always expect *someone* to decompile it.

That's why I admired the Dharma guys; they put in RC5 encryption in to their Flash app.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Darkworld does anagram to drdarkowl so theoretically we would have been able to do that without any new info, username as pinwheels is obviously to all

Those look like American states - not hard to see without Photoshop...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
#3 is Florida, and #4 is Texas.


Working on the others.

EDIT:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
#1 is California, #2 is Florida again, #6 is Arizona.


I can't make out #5 for the life of me, though. That's the one we need some Photoshop magic on most.

Worked on these by hand, much easier. so far CA, FL, FL, TX, CA #6 eludes me so far, not enough landmarks.
basically what I did for the other ones was to overlap matching features.

good luck on #6

I think #6 is Arizona.

Great ad for pinwheels by "I AM THE DOCTOR".

A hint for the password to the website, I think. Thus, already solved.

Ah, so true looking at it that way, then we are just one step ahead waiting for the game to catch up

Contacted Dr. DarkOwl at the email address from the source code of the "Rupture Point Files/Design1.html". His reply below:

fromDark Owl <whirlgoltdsplatgmail.com

Amandel,
It's not my fault.
I am the doctor.
Have you found any pinwheels? Go to the pinwheels.
I am the doctor.
The rupture points are open. Do you know where they are?
I am the doctor.
It's not my fault. It's not my fault. It's not my fault.
Show me I can trust you. Where are the points?
DDO

Not certain how specific he needs us to be with the "points" location so I'm hoping Y'all will mail him also with this info. Coffee

ETA: If DDO manages to close the "rupture points" is that causal to Seeker and the Whirlgo-ers remaining stuck there?

Was on the edge of my chaiir listening to Epi 3. Did Winston grab Creepy's copy of the book?...Major LOL probs in sight then.

So going on Amandel's suggestion I too have emailed Dr. Dark Owl at the email address in the source code. If I make any more progress on that I will let you all know. It would seem that he wants to know the locations on the pinwheels, at least if those are in fact the rupture points. Maybe if enough of us send him messages he will trust us enough to help. He is one weird dude though.

ok, so between all of us we have Ca, Fl, Fl, Tx, Ca, and AZ

The only thing I could think of was to take cfftca to caesar cipher and come out with addray, but that just doesn't seem to mean anything and really, is a bit of a stretch.

Whew--Creepy tweeted me that she was "lost"(as am I Embarassed ) regarding the nature of "rupture points". This is my email's reply:

DarkOwl wrote:
IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

Can I trust you?

Can I?

It's not my fault.

You need to go there. Someone has to go there.

Can I tell you where to go?

BE CAREFUL.

I will tell you where to go. I will tell you.

It's not my fault.

You will have to prove yourself. I can't tell a stranger.

I am the doctor.

Let me tell you. Someone has to get there.

If you are to be trusted...

Can I trust you? Who are you?

I am the doctor.

Answer these questions about me:

-- What is my company?
-- What is my favorite play?
-- What is the number?
-- What are the two worlds?

It's not my fault.


A few things: 1) each "It's not my fault" is in purple text and I reckon he's talking about some sort of fault (rupture) line.
2) While I believe I can answer his questions I'm equally happy if someone else replies.
3) Mentioned that Seeker's and the WhirlGoers' safe return was primary to us all and that my friends(Y'all Twisted Evil ) would also be contacting him.
