Also someone zoom in on the far pic of the G5 thing cuz i don't think the email address is blanked out on the far away pic.

BTW:

What the hell just happened i was typing this reply and i was on the previous locked thread as well and look at this weird pop up i got (on firefox) about aim and i don't even have aim installed WEIRD dunno if this has any relevence but here's what i got:

If it is the Airforce base then the Poppies could really mean Memorial Day or 5/30

If it is the coords for the Wildlife park, then the poppies just reinforce that idea.

You can keep trying.

-------------------------------
Ok back to the clue:

Like mentioned before, this is near Area 51. But more specifically, the whole Nellis area is actually where Area 51 IS.

Could just be a big distraction, but it's all I got that's good so far.

Just noticed this:

All of the posts in the forums for the pics so far have all been titled:

"I am where you talk."

And they also all have that phrase in the body of the post.

So I think we may be able to find the rest if we search forums for that thread name or post content. If whatever forums we're looking on have a search tool.

Also, if this has been mentioned before, feel free to trout me, but at the bottom of our colony page, gamem8ker says, "I've been talking to you." Which obviously means that he posted here on the unfiction forums...we need to find the other 2 colonies that have been "talked to" or they're going to have a leg up on us if they're not talking.

Hey, all the images are 260x260 except for the 4+3 one which is almost exactly double in height 260x517/

If White Hart is one of the images, here is more info on that place:

I have provided a resource for everyone by collecting all of the pictures together and pointing out resolution and obvious points:



Also, beware of the fact that the message "i am where you talk." was posted along with every picture and "I am in 6 places where you talk." and "Posted at 2:25 GMT" were both on OurColony.net with the challenge. Because of the similarities in resolution between all of the pictures as well as the very quick placement of them, resulting in a total of 6, all by screen-name of Gamem8ker and all saying "i am where you talk." leaves too many coincidences to say these are fake. Go with them and see what you can accomplish. Here are the file names in numeric order (x represents non-existent digit to keep things even):

xxx14660 < Posted 9:29 PM EST at TeamXbox
xxx29420 < Posted 11:28 PM EST at AGonline
xxx38914 < Posted 9:36 PM EST at IGN.com
xxx47610 < Posted 8:41 PM EST at XboxScene
93142952 < Posted "10:58pm GMT"? at MySpace

Now their resolutions and product:

14660 = 260x260 = 67,600 (If treated like a math equation)
29420 = 260x260 = 67,600
38914 = 260x260 = 67,600
47610 = 260x517 = 134,420
93142952 = 432x633 = 273,456
Added Total
93,273,556 = 1472x1930 = 610,676

When two small pictures are stacked, two on top of one another, as I did in my picture, the "Blue LED" ("47610") shot is 3 pixels shorter. Also, the widths are exactly the same in all cases except for "Beware" ("93142952") which is 172 pixels wider (or 88 pixels skinnier when two photo's are next to eachother) and is 373 pixels taller than a standard small pic or 113 pixels taller than two stacked standard smalls and 116 pixels taller than the "Blue LED" ("47610") shot. Combining all of the width values comes to 1472 wide and height comes to 1930 high resulting in a total of 1472x1930. The letter and numbers on the AGonline pic ("29420") (N 37.1366 W -115.4761) seem to be GPS points leading to Area 51 and on TeamXbox's pic ("14660") the numbers 10^3 + 10^3 can be read as "Ten cubed plus ten cubed" which equals 2000 because "Ten cubed (10^3)" means "Ten times ten times ten (10x10x10). Please use the info I have collected here and figure this puzzle out! I hope it helps!!

*Text found at bottom of image I made:
The orange strip on the middle photo shows the 3 pixel difference in height negatively for the "BlueLED" height. The resolution is 260x260 for the small shots and 260x517 for the LED shot and 432x633 for "Beware." Also, don't miss the "D" at the top of the middle photo and the sCt on the back of the man's shirt at bottom right. Also, experiment with the numbers like (4+3) & (N 37.1366 W -115.4761) & (10^3 + 10^3) and the names of the files (TopLeft "29420" from AGonline; BottomLeft "14660" TeamXbox; Middle "47610" XboxScene; TopRight "38914" IGN; BottomRight "93142952" MySpace; Right "Beware" Xbox.com)

Very nice supplemental overview Pic Overview

The coordinates are to Area 51. Understand why they are in the middle of the giant "Wildlife Park" now?? Cool

found this while checking other forums...
http://outerspace.terra.com.br/videos/xbox360_mtv_spot.mov

also, when did the smiley face show up on the ourcolony.net team page? and what are the number underneath it for? "35296154 yay!" ...has that always been there?

and, with all these numbers and math going around, when i look at the flower picture, i think of the golden ratio [PHI for the ratio 1.618]. since the golden ration is found in nature [and every where else].

also, in the BEWARE pic, his hat looks like the letter "C"

all could be nothing, never know... might spark something in someone else's mind.

That is the logo for team "yay". Are you on that team? The numbers are team yay's join code. I hope that helps! Smile

I'm not sure if this will end up being relevant but it can't hurt to post this. In relation to the picture of the poppies is the poem In Flanders Fields written by John McCrae during WWI. Here is a copy of the original manuscript.
http://home-13.tiscali-business.nl/~tpm09245/lang/misc/witn/flanders.jpg
It is a bit hard to read so I'll transcribe it here.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields


The spacing is the original spacing.

ive got it ok...

well if "I've been talking to you" appears on oyr colony page then that means it's on everyones colony page from each colony that he has been talking to so that means we ahve to find out which colonys say this and find a website to do with it that gamem8ker has posted shown or something there...

also i think the numbers of th colonys he has posted on is relevant...

like:
yay = 1
ARGolonists = 2
Team-xbox = 10

... and i dont o the others...
