Perhapse we need to find a xbox live baseball game where the opponant is playing the white sox. Considering that the schedule is from the 2004 season I would try xbox live games from 2004 (which would have been published in 2003) Might also look to see if someone has the gamertag of one of the characters, or frank thomas.

okay, so i think we are completely out of ideas. if anyone does know how to get in contact with gamem8ker or whoever is in charge of this silly thing, it may be time to ask for a new challenge. i mean three days and no solution? all the previous challenges we have been able to wip out in a couple hours (except for the circle one that just randomly disappeared) but this has had us stuck for three days and going nowhere.

c'mon gamem8ker do something.

It looks like may 12 2004 was the day EA announced it went live on xbox live.

I could be wrong

Ok, who wants to write a script that does a brute force attack, guessing sequences of words from a dictionary.
I'm guessing the answer is not more than 3 words long, and hopefully contains only real words.

Let's see, choose a dictionary file with a reasonable number of words, let's say around 200,000.

200,000 one word answers
40,000,000,000 two word answers
8,000,000,000,000,000 three word answers

hmmm.... that script might take a while to run...

there's a new message:

"inviting challenge"

what if instead of "gamefind" its "gamefin" as in game end?

Could this be the desk of the person who "inveted" the ILB idea? I would think it would have started about this time last year.

well it now says, "inviting challenge" on the site instead of "Truth brings revelation" im thinking that he is saying that whatever we need to solve this, is inviting us to look at it. the only two things that do that really are the word puzzle, and the website at the bottom. but that has been deemed OOG so i dont know. i think perhaps if anyone can figure out the longest stream of words going up down and diagonal without using letters twice might work, like whatever is left over might descramble to reveal the answer. or maybe from the last colum on the right, you can continue to the colum on the left to complete a word. any thoughts?

What if game is not about gaming, but hunting. There is also ELK in puzzle.

I have found the following: http://www.gaming-age.com/news/2003/6/5-8 I feel confident that is related to the answer, but I have yet to figure it out.
