Chapter 3- Clue Hunt: Do you see the writing on the wall?

UPDATE 1/17 (3:20pm): Dark UFO has confirmed to us that OurMutualFriend42 is an "in game" character. So you might want to head over and check out the "interesting developments". Apparently they were given a code to break, which lead to this website: http://www.baliholidayfun.com/
There was an email address there that some people, after emailing of course, received a response from. The response had THIS hidden URL in it. That is all I know at this point, so check it out and see what you can come up with. Jess

UPDATE 1/17 (6:53am): Over at Dark UFO there are some interesting developments. I'm not sure what to make of this, but it's either really clever or an extremely elaborate wild goose chase. Have a look and decide for yourself. ~Ange

Tonight's hunt begins with Sam looking over the edge of the Christiane 1. He hears radio static and other strange electrical sounds and goes into the ship's control room to investigate. There he sees weird things happening like flickering screens and strange electronic beeps and chirps.

  • Here, you can click on two monitors and hear Sam say things like, "I've never seen that before," etc...

Clue Hunt:

By clicking around in the room inside the ship we find our 4 season clues:

  • Virgin Mary- your season 1 clue
  • 108-your season 2 clue
  • submarine- your season 3 clue
  • Tunisian newspaper- your season 4 clue
    • Nirvana at DarkUFO is posting a possible translation for the text in the paper. (Thanks to Maven for the heads up on this.)

To view the season 4 clue, you are directed to ABC.com or Yahoo7 to find the password. There you play a game called Talbot's Search. In it, Sam needs to plot an unbroken course through Talbot's search grid without taking the same path twice.

  • There are 3 search grids to complete, and you basically have to connect the dots.
  • HINT- watch carefully when each search grid loads for a hint about where to start.
  • Passwords are here in hidden-ish text--> 36-15-28 or Charlotte Lewis
    • Click here for what could be more information on the second password. (Thanks to Pharmacopaeia for the Yahoo7 password.)

As we search for the four season clues you can see an image of Sonya on the wooden door in the cabin as well as some writing (Sayid's Girl and her daughter Sayid's Girl Jr. were keen to notice this is the e-mail Sam received with Sonya's picture in it). What could that be about, and what do those password numbers mean?

Well, I sent an e-mail to baliholidayfun@gmail.com after it came out on find815.com and got back a pile of gobbledygook from Mr. Ole - just like they said. So I'm thinking that it just got leaked early on Darkufo.

They're now saying over there that they've found "where it was stegged" which I again - have no idea what they're talking about. But it seems to me that maybe the dinosaur picture is the hint that the bali website itself is 'stegged' OR not.

I was barely hanging with the point and click clues- now I'm hopelessly lost.

Well as long as Power Rangers don't show up to fight it I'm good.
That's the first thing I thought when I seen it this morning.

TakesaVillage said...

On the bali site there are some numbers...4,3,3,12.It may mean nothing but in this game you never know.

Tess315 said...

Good thought takes a village.
You're right you never know.

There is a red blob on the pic above the dino. *BUT* I can't find a scanner that pics anything up. Looks like you need a specific one and only people with inside info are likely to know it (or someone lucky). Fish biscuits.

Also, why on earth is Tracey sending coded messages and how come she's more adept at hiding it (I mean come on, I know what to look for in that email and I still can't find all the text!) then the mystery maxwell contact. Lol.

I can only assume it's not Tracey.

Twinkle: That was the jist of a comment very early in the process on DarkUFO.

I'm willing to accept that bhf.com is in-game, but it feels forced.

Ange said...

Do you think that the fact that the dinosaur pic is from Bałtów Jurassic Park, Poland is significant?

Well, Sam's supposed to be an IT guy, right? Why was he so confused about the monitors on the Bridge that he had to write Tracey about it? And if Tracey's the one sending coded messages, Sam must have the skills to find them.

Tess315 said...

Tracey's camera had all those blips like the oceanic website.
Maybe she is involved in getting him on the ship in someway.

Fenris said...

Also. Time line again. We get the impression he just did yesterdays activity moments ago. So in game time isn't remotely following real time right now.

Fenris said...

Maven, in my experience many IT technicians don't know diddly. Lol.

That may just be where I work. We (the music techs) do it all ourselves in the department. We try not to let IT near our computers. Lol.

maven said...

Thanks for clarifying that, Fenris! LOL

If it is Tracey sending the coded message, she must have found out something pretty important for Sam. She's seems concerned about his safety.

Twinkle said...

C'mon, Fenris! Where's your faith in Chuck? ;-)

Well I think I'm content to let someone else figure this out. If we don't get what we're supposed to get, TPTB will just have to throw us a bone.

The middle chapters are always the hardest anyway, between setting up the problem and the exciting race to the finish.

New Post!!!

Did we learn that Sam took Oceanic to Darwin/Jakarta through his friend David Massingham's help? Or was it Austral Air? Maybe that phone message Sean Downing was a warning that he is being tracked if he took Oceanic.

earlier today someone over at DarkUFO pointed out that the numbers on the bali site can be manipulated mathematically to equal 108

4x3x3x12=432
then divide 432 by 4 (the total of how many numbers there are) and you get 108
