http://90021040.blogspot.com/2009/03/can-you-decipher-this.html
clicking the image leads to
http://208.109.1.121/IM/IncomingMessage.asp

I think the second to last number was 26 but quite busy atm.
Also, since this new url includes a new portion (/IM/) I'm thinking this is a new puzzle rather than more hints on the previous puzzles (Crack The Safe, for instance). Then again, the image of cogs in the background (instead of the usual eye) makes me think that these numbers might be the key to crack the safe...

Finally, just got an email from EYE leading to this new post
Quote:

"A Message from the future"

Can you decipher the message?
Cracking the encryption could help you in the future...

Hi, this is Henry.
I hope I have contacted the friend I meant to contact.
If so, then you will probably know that our site got hacked a couple of months ago.
If you're not, then I apologize sincerely for contacting you.
(A couple of months ago, our site was hacked and our contacts' email addresses were lost.
I am currently contacting people off the top of my head and my memories are not flawless.)

If you are who I think you are, then you will be glad to know that we are slowly
getting back on track with our program.

As of today, I'm twittering:
http://tinyurl.com/b5fvkg

Also, our site is still not fully up, but stay tuned:
http://tinyurl.com/d67wsc

Stay in touch.

Your friend,

Dr. Henry Mandelstrom


Looks like Dr. Henry Mandelstrom could fit into the Dr. that was scratched from the original newspaper posting.

Sorry if any of this is old information, admittedly I haven't read the thread.

First link goes to Twitter: http://twitter.com/Pharmament

Second goes to their website: http://www.pharmament.com/

Take it for what it's worth. Already emailed them we'll see what happens.

 		on the Pharmament website, according to the Twitter from the doctor you will get the input from the hackers (sometimes).
When that happens you get to see a background image with a skull on the right, dots on the lower left (braille ?) and the following text overlaying:

Quote:

Pharmament
Is bad for your health.
Don't be blind to
their evil tests.

Sorry, they are currently hacked


'Ph' is in red
'Don't be blind', and 'their evil tests' start under the 'b' in 'Is bad for your health.'

'Sorry, they are currently hacked' is centered.
In the lower right, a series of octagons (5 of them) reads 'Ph-ar-ma-me-nt' like their standard logo, but in red hues.

Title of the page also changes to 'Shut Down Pharmament'

I wish I could dig more and get you a screenshot, but work looms and I got to go see the tax guy too today, darn

 		braille says haxhoaxSPLAThotmail.com (or at least I think it does after looking at half of it)

eta: my bad, finished up haxhoaxSPLAThotmail.co.uk emailing now to see

eta: btw, source says "Pharmament is conducting tests on innocent people. They are dangerous. Hackers unite! Contact me."

At the moment it is the fact that pharmament.com is at the same ip address as eye's secret site....

so its possible that pharmament makes the virus

 		Snorkle beat me to it.

But, I must point out that Godaddy (as mentioned in the other post) allows multiple sites to be hosted on one hosting account.

This leaves the following options (correct me if I miss anything):

A) Pharmament.com is part of the T.S.O. universe.
B) PH and TSO are 2 different games from the same team.
C) PH and TSO are 2 different games from 2 different teams, one of which hosts the site for the other (which could be simply a costs effeciency thing).

I noted some inconsistencies:

TSO: platforms used (till now): Blogspot.com, Myspace.com, Gmail.com
PH: platforms used (till now): Twitter.com, Hotmail

So, what is sure till now?
*The server that is hosting both sites is the same.
*Both sites were registered at Godaddy in a two week timespan (info from the other thread, I haven't checked the whois)
*Till now, different platforms are used.
*Other thread: Cristy was not aware of the TSO game, can I conclude that different people were contacted? I contacted yfimp and echy as well as the storyrecap and have received updates related to TSO, but I have not received the pharmament email. Whom of you that follow the TSO story received the pharmament email?


Is there a link from E.Y.E.'s site to the pharmament site?
I mean, directly? As how the mainpage links to different used sites in the game.

Just firing some random thoughts.

As said, correct me if I'm missing anything.
