This might be of importance but hey, it might be nothing...

I did a boolean search for "Its all a game" as in bottom right of original pic from drjim. On the posts it brought up I found something very perculiar

2 Threads same title" (Rings) We have a serious problem"
1st thread posted by: Machinegunjordan 603736 last post 23-6-2004 @2:45 deafence#
2nd thread posted by: dreamlandmafia 603813 last post 23-6-2004 @ 2:45 deafence#

both threads have same exact amount of replies, (63) Now my question is How can you post to 2 diffrent threads at exactly the same time??

Is this a clue or just speculitive thinking???

I don't know. But MGJ is banned

Sanc'.

yes, it actually was relplied to both by deafence# at exactly the same time

I don't think we need to worry too much. The answer is probably obvious, we just don't see it yet...

Someone mentionned me being applaused in this thread. Yes, I was. Why? Just for noticing the "it's all a game" words in the pics.

So for me, it's probably obvious. We don't need to FOIA, nor use any de-encryption software, nor anything like that. We probably have the answer right before our very eyes, but are just too blind to see.

I must admit I'm still puzzled a lot...

Sorry for not posting earlier, but I had a lot of work and just nearly no time for me...

Off topic maybe, but btw how does one notice that I've been applaused?

Good point spookyvince!
Someone said earlier in this thread that they have been aplaused but they dont know what for!
This could mean that whoever got applaused might have said something that could be vital towards the clues that Hunt_Admin said we have already mentioned the ideas or something along those lines.

This could mean that whoever said something might have got applaused by the Hunt_admin or someone else who is involved in creating this game. Do you know what i mean?

If anyone has applaused someone who thinks they said something that shouldnt have got an applause please tell us here so we know its not any of us then we can presume its one of the Games Directors(thats what il call them unofficially!) who applauded someone for saying an idea that was near to solving one of the clues!

does anyone know how to find out what member it is that applauds you?

If the moderator wants you to know he or she will leave their name in the U2U that is sent along with the applause.

But if spookyvince doesnt know who hes been applaused by then as you said that if the mods would want you to know then they will send you a U2U,so spookyvince do you know who applauded you? Or anyone else whos been applaused whilst in this thread and you dont know who by?

ahem...... just for the record, I've received no applause on this thread whatsoever

I believe when you are applauded the U2U is sent automatically. The moderator has the option to edit this U2U. They can choose to edit out their name. I have received these U2U with and without the moderators name in the message. It sounds like spookyvince's U2U had the name removed.

reading back, I think that we really need to go back over whatever ideas were banded about between DrJims last post and the hint from the hunt admin (pages 14 to 21).We have been told that we have already had the ideas that we need so something has got to be somewhere between those two posts.
Another thing to think about maybe, at the start of the thread , one of the things that DrJim was urgently trying to find was the origin of the photo's . If he is trying to get to the bottom of this then ultimatley he needs to get in touch with the Haskins, as they were the source of the photos. They must be important, they could have been described as just hikers in the document, but we have been provided with names , could that be relevent?

Ummmmm I'll take that back , I wasn't fishing .........really........!

LOL Hey Pantha, Id applaud you for some things you have said but if you get us past this part i swear i will applaud you every chance i get until the end of the year!

We should actually go through the threads from DrJims last post until Hunt_Admins post.

There are basically 3 things...

1. The Co-ordinates
2. The Filenames.
3. The FOIA (Although this is debatable as we cannot send requests to official agents/Gov's etc)

I have not really been following this too much. Although, I did follow it until they said it was a game. I am not allowed to win more than one prize a year, so I am following this, but you guys have soooooo many pages here.

I thought I would just give some advice. Not that you need it though, you guys are moving along great. But, this may help. In the rings, I kept a site with all data as well as any research that I did. Also, PurdueNuc kept a site with all the Clues answered and unsolved in there. That way, we did not lose track of anything. Also, personally, I would break out of this thread and make a thread for each unsolved clue that you have. Your summary thread is great, but to have a thread for each open clue, will let you keep thing orderly and easier to read. I am sorry if this has all been done, but 26 pages would drive be crazy to read to see if you have these things.

Just some suggestions..... Good luck and I hope your brains are as fried as mine was when we finished.

thats some very good advice there JCMinJapan , thanks
We should make use of this forum now that the "DrJim game" has arrived here, we didn't have anywhere else to do it before this.
I would make a start but I'm at work at the moment, and a bit too busy right now, I'm actually having to work hard for once lol. If no one has started any threads to cover what we are working on by tonight, I might have a go.
