All and all, bluesylvia was right. We've been here before.

is the payoff. Sad

Toasty- did you get Mrs. Schneider to work? Other than the school teacher?

Welp, if it's worth anything, the source code for form site has "Do Not Fill This Out" hidden as well as the url for this forum topic.

Also, this is the article that the picture comes from: http://planetivy.com/news/11216/deciphering-the-shining/

(the Mrs. Schneider bit.ly never worked for me, either. I can only assume it linked to the triangle, but whatever. . .)

The "Do Not Fill This Out" portion is part of any wufoo.eu form (you can also see it for this random wufoo.eu form I found here). I think it's just there for their coding purposes.

Wonder if there's anything hidden in the image. Didn't see anything from some mild photo manipulation or by opening it up in Notepad.

The form says "Hell, March 13, 1919" which is the date when the Axeman sent a letter threatening to kill anyone not enjoying jazz at 15 minutes after midnight. Today's the 19th (but of April) so maybe anyone who puts in his details will get a call or an email or something tonight?

Nope, tried many variations and never did get anything but her lovely music page.

*facepalm. It just sounded so foreboding in this context!

The 12:15 thing does make sense. So I guess we wait for contact and play the hell outta some jazz.

Haha it's okay, it's kind of a silly thing to include in your coding anyway, IMO...

If it's gonna be 12:15, then my bet would be it's 12:15 Louisiana time, which is -5 GMT.

Great work, Booba. Glad I could help. Smile

Have to admit I'm lost on how you got to the picture though? I have a feeling it's a reference to a game I never played?

I only have jazz on an iPod. Think that will work? If I have my eyes closed and am slowing nodding my head will he get the ideal?

Sarah- Entered an email, that page came up on submit. If i remember properly, its last go round lead to a pay-to-play game, which I don't do, but others will.

Ah! I see, thank you. I didn't enter an email; I mostly keep my contact details away from stuff I know is likely to freak me out, and something which gives intensity options including "insanity" is probably high on that list, lol.

Did anyone who put in details get anything back from this?

Not me. I've gotten neither a call nor an email from them.

Nada here as well. I'm pretty sure there was nowhere to go after the sign-up and the Shining picture, but I'm starting to doubt myself. Did we miss anything?

Unless there's something more in the pastebin document, I don't know where else we would go from this point.

We attempted to make contact and nothing happened--if the PMs were concerned about their game being forgotten about they would have surely done something to nudge us a bit more, right? Considering their previous attempts didn't go very far before either, maybe this is just a repeat of history... Seems like an awful waste of money though, since it's not cheap to be a sponsor.
