Yeah, I know. I guess no one else got any of the other 10 achievements.

Also, is it possible they send me the parcel for real and it arrives at 03/05, even if my adress is in Brazil? Or is the possibility that something bad will happen with the parcel and it never arrives?


According to the article on the wikibruce site, only those 5 are known at the moment.

Since you're in Brazil, it might reach you after the 5th of March, but I'm not sre as I've never mailed Brazil.

Achievements?

I am in, and up to date Smile
Also new to this, it's my first ARG, looks nice so far.
But I was wondering, I hacked into Jess' UKSRI account, but I don't get the achievement for it, I only got 4, Facebook, joined the hunt, Private Folder and the parcel. I wonder why is that?

PIE theory guys (Jason McNamara and the other dude that played Baron Rude) mailed me once, by the end of their ARG, to send some schwag. It was cool. And it took about 2 weeks for the package to arrive, so maybe it will be a little late, if nothing bad happens.

Please don't hate me

I'm really just asking, I don't know how those things work, so I'm probably all wrong. But..
Don't you guys think they'll find it weird that all of a sudden they get all those e-mails? I mean, I don't think normally that many people would write them, and then a researchist gets kidnapped and suddenly everyone wants to get in touch with her, or them? Isn't flooding them the best way not to get any answers, if ever the bad guy's on the inside?

Without the kidnapping video we have 14 videos, and I looked at video 1-3 (they seem to be in a right order) at the stills:
Video 1: sec 21 (in the formula it's 1.21)
Video 2: sec 5 (2.5 in the formula)
Video 3: sec 14 (3.14 in the formula)

I corrected the tone value in photoshop, and then you can see in all stills the same vertical bar, which isn't there in other stills I tried.

Maybe this means that there is something hidden in these particular stills and should be analyzed further?

Unfortunateley I didn't find the bar in the other videos, maybe because they're not in the right order, or because it is nothing at all?

The bar is on the left side:

Another person jumping on the bandwagon. Caught up on Jessica's travel blog, but nothing else quite yet. Going to check up on the rest when I get out of school.

The only thing I've been able to find is that we're missing Appendix 1.11 as outlined in the drug tests pdf. Additionally, in the kidnapping video, Jess mentions that she sent the core of her research to the vault, followed by her saying she should print that out. Or at least the language she was using made it sound like that document was what she wanted to print out. This was then followed by the sound of Techno Dave's whack-a-mole game starting, implying that its found in the private folder on the intranet.

Using the videos is a neat idea, but the only problem I see with it is the numbers like 2•68 where the number is higher than the length of the video. The 2nd video isn't even 68 seconds long. (unless, of course, we're missing something)
The bar is strange, but might just come from boosting the contrast in random spots. How many frames from each video did you test it on?

Edit: Since I saw someone mirrored the video logs, would it be worth it to save the PDFs?

I would think the only document worth printing would be the Secret Trials. Anybody tried printing it or something..?

I extracted all the frames from the second log video. It looks like it says Dave, anyone agree?

I think that its highly likely to be DAVE, given that he's mentioned a number of times across this story.

Also, given that the camera stays on this image for a few seconds I think its safe-ish to say that the number is important to the progression of the story...

...shame that it doesn't work for us at the moment.
