 		Really all we needed was the 7th line, the rot'd text. ROTing all 26 steps should always be the first test we do on coded text Smile

I did that, but I was looking for a sentence, or some middle segment that made a word. My skimming somehow did not fall on the end of the ROT-20 line. Could have had this hours ago *hangs head and goes to hide*

 		Dallas
Sadly, I haven't been able to keep up with this one as much as I would have liked to... the number of pages in the thread went from like 6 to over 20 almost overnight and I haven't had the time to go back and read everything.

I was trying to see how the drops were conducted, and I noticed you had no one listed for Dallas yet. It would be kind of inconvenient between work schedules and the 3 hour drive to get there (I'm closer to Houston), but if y'all need a last resort for the Dallas pickup, count me in.

Were the drops announced ahead of time? If so, how far in advance did you get the information? Sorry- this has all probably been answered already but I don't have a lot of time to back track through all the information so I figured I would just ask...

Hi Phantom. No need to get overwhelmed with the thread list; things are still in their early days (of sorts) and all puzzles seem mostly self contained.

The overall 16 drop locations are those listed with the pins on the map at www.blakchollowproject.com, however we don't know the order. Upon successful recovery of one drop, we register a code on the website (via the Terminal) and usually by Monday there is a new message at phone number 202-630-2773 with some sort of clue/puzzle as to which drop location is next.

All drops so far have been on subsequent Saturday mornings, and should continue to follow that pattern, unless we get other information. Actual specific locations of the drops aren't usually given until the day before, and not usually very directly (cipher to decode or directions from a set location).

All add you as a possibility to the list for Dallas (the ? will denote a maybe). We already know it's not this week, so you can relax a little Wink

I plan on putting together a file of some sort with all the plot info we have so far. Don't hold me on any sort of timeline for that, however.

Continence has to do with ability to control bowel movements. I don't think we're really interested in that kind of "drop from thebruce, lol.

Continence


I almost lost mine from laughing too hard....

Thank you, Eggz, for the speedy up to date. Like I said, it would have to be a last resort kind of thing but if something happens and it is dropped and no one else goes to claim it I could try and get out there for y'all. A 3 hour trip after work wouldn't get me there until the evening so it would be a very slow pickup if I was the one being relied on. I will try to stay on top of the updates more and follow along better than I have been from now on.

 		Cool. Been searching for lighthouse references in town for a few weeks and other than churches, have come up with nothing.

I've been suspecting it might be one of the olympic torch towers in town. Still sorta new here, but I know of at least two. Will be standing by as more info surfaces.

aaahaha didn't catch that, didn't even notice the word was misspelled Laughing

on topic: I'm not sure scans are needed (though I'll get some up tonight), since the contents are available on the tumblr.

also also, I'm starting to get tempted to put up a wiki... last time it got pre-empted by an in-game wiki (oceanus.wikibruce.com) Razz
At this point, this seems to be the one arg that has my most attention, and it seems to be pretty linear so far.
I, too, need to read up on all the past thread pages.

That little intro-summary blurb was a very very rough outline what I gleaned from a ~25min quick scan over the tumblr Smile (yes, I slept on the way to Toronto, so I read up while walking to GZ, heh)

But IF I do put up a wiki this time, is there anyone else willing to help keep it updated?

I'd be willing to help; you know how detailed-oriented I can get on these things Razz

Also I do think the scans are needed; the Mathematician note on tumblr is fuzzy in places and kind of hard to read, and there isn't the text on the back of the painting (was hard to read/hear via your video as well).
