Clue #99 - Fragment Code "GLLV8B"
Fragment Code "GLLV8B" was found today by Team Lena (story below). The video fragment is of Mittlwerk saying, "But I promise you, someone is going to help."*Check out Matt the Pale's summary of all the found fragment codes at...Matt the Pale's HansoExposed Video Fragment Code List
What Happened?
We posted with a quote and a link to savejoop.com. On savejoop.com, if you click where it says, "this commercial" you will be taken to a youtube video that is an amatuer commercial for a new "Glyphs Can Be Fun" t-shirt. At the end of the commercial, you'll notice the phrase, "myspace.com/randomempire" flash across the right side of the screen. If you go to that myspace, you'll find a blog post with the following message "CRAFTED GNOME: David told us he needed to hide something here and he said anyone familiar with Rachel Blake would know what to do. He said that there were 2 pathways to Rachel's latest code and that he wasn't sure which would be fastest: CONFIDED FOR US or TIGHTEST PROPHET CUE." These clusters of words were taken as anagrams for "FRAGMENT CODE", "FIND US FOR CODE", & "PUT THE PICS TOGETHER."
Most of the top 10 commenters from this blog (all that we could find email addresses for - we're so sorry lhorse007) were entrusted with pics/pieces of pics that, when put together, would reveal the code. Also two of the administrators of this site had "Glyphs Can Be Fun" t-shirts and decided to give them away to anyone who could find them today. Ultimately, William (from our podcast/Young Wallace, blogger name) was wearing the shirt and Lena (from Team Lena) found him in Oregon. She posted a few pics of the shirt and the rest is history!
Thanks to everyone who engaged in this glyph hunt, kept a good attitude and an open mind, and complimented our efforts to assist Rachel Blake as best we knew how. What a great team effort!

first?
Nice glyph hunt btw
First
Second, not bad...Good nite all (for real this time)
wow im suprrised that this wasnt clue 29
so admin are you going to tell us how rachel got in contact with you for the glyph?
i also appreciate the time and effort you put into making this code so awesome... thanks guys!
okay i saw all the pics but who got oscar?
I am awfully confused about how this clue was found...
Lol, one of the first things I did was go to that MySpace site ('cos it was linked from the TLEC MySpace and I was wondering where they could have hidden it). But I didn't check the blogs. Ah well.
I still hate this act. But I would say that this was the best done Glyph puzzle so far. If only this had been the first glyph and I hadn't already all but given up caring about this act I probably would have put the effort in to pass the test.
Kudos to you admins.
For the record:
It has came to my attention (thanks to matt the pale) that an imposter posing as one of our friends here posted some very mean and hurtful things.
Try and remember this when you see someone posting something mean! IT MIGHT NOT BE WHO IT SAYS IT IS! I saw the two EBlogger profiles myself! They were almost IDENTICAL! (sorry forgot to save them) I couldnt believe it! But it did make sence that one of my personal favorite posters didnt seem to be themselfs today!
Hope we dont have to see this happen anymore, but just be careful!
i'm impressed by this hunt :) well done, you guys are doing awesome!! I'm in New Zealand, so sadly can't really be involved.. but watching how things develop :)
There is ONE thing that is EATING at me...
In the video with David wearing his shirt, it clearly has something on the back.
Today when I received MY shirt I was expecting to find something on the back. Sadly, there was NOTHING there.
I am gonna bug David to tell me what is on the back of HIS shirt! LOL
Well I think TPTB started to see how much TLEC is involved in the ARG and somewhere along the line I guess they are kind of now "in game" sorta! The thing I wonder is, TLEC going to be in game for good or just this one time!?!
I am still trying to grasp the fact that I was able to get my hands on an actual INGAME clue today! Still in a fog really LOL.
It will forever be a personal keepsake to remember the TLEC and the game!
Looking forward to DJDan tomorrow!!!! He is one of the most interesting things in the ARG to me besides the video research that is!
I was going to bed like hours ago LOL
Well, nighty night anyone still here!
I am off to dream of LIVE podcast and DSL!! OH YAH!
Listen the fact is these fan sites were built to involve and interact more people to the lost experience and Lost in general...instead they alienated many people, people who didn't have programs on their computer that could reverse audio and video files etc.... people who weren't almost losing their jobs at work to do this...I love lost, by rewarding this site...it should have been a reward for EVERYONE that has ever participated here...not just the admins...cause we have all spent some time....instead it was just an inside joke and another test.
Where was the reward for those of which have been loyal to this site? Id rather this site NOT be in-game.
wrangler, the people who were given the pics were supposed to be (and I think they were) shared with everyone so they all could figure it out. Some of the people didn't check their emails. Someone decoded the whole thing before everyone else and got the shirt, and they shared it with everyone.
I still don't get why everyone has a problem with this? People don't get upset when Ninja posts a clue. Heck, he doesn't even make a puzzle before he posts it. If Speaker were to post a clue in real life, would people be this upset?
I mean, it's been this way all throughout the game. Someone figures it out before you, and they get the kudos.
Hell, if anyone has a right to be angry, it's us people in places that don't even get acknowledgement. New Zealand gets episodes before Australia, but we don't even get a blogger. Glyphs get released in the middle of the night over here. But it doesn't matter. No one has ever withheld information about a glyph, it's always been shared.
I was so there! Pitty I have to sleep (4 hours diference)! Any way is this what a like in a game! The thrill! Cheers to David!!!!
Admin
How, on earth, could this not be considered a breach of the fourth wall? I'm confused. Could you please explain it to me?
The Alternative One
Long time lurker, just had to say great job on the glyph hunt. I don't typically have time to comment, but I do follow along closely. Thanks for making this game fun, even when it's not.
Morning All!! This was very cool!! Thanks so much David for making this cool. I want you all to know that even if TPTB did not listen to us, David did. I do not know how he got the clue, perhaps, Lost Ninja, Speaker or on of the other contacts we have that have released a code. But no matter, David understood that we were upset and wanted to have a puzzle, a hunt. And bpy oh boy did he deliver. I hope TPTB were paying attetnion to this.
I am so jealous LENA!!! I want a shirt to! Perhaps David can have shirts made that say, "I wasted my summer 2006 playing TLE on TLEC!!"
Seeing the pictures all together now makes me feel good, because I had LLV8 as a code possibility, I was missing the other parts...meh!
It was so much fun! Thank you again David! And hey TPTB, pay attention, this is how we roll!
hey people uhhh Good job hunting the code down...
Could not participate in the glyph hunt due to time constraints but it sounds like that was great fun. Well done, TeamLena!
BTW Apollocandy Ad has vanished from the site.
superdifey, Lena posted in the last blog comments "Nope, main is a buddy, and we were on yahoo chat all day so when I got back, I let main have the code to check while I made the pics for flickr". I don't think Lena has even signed up at HE because dial-up is driving her up the wall.
but i was little dissapointed that no one told anyone else about this little hunt
I never saw the apollo candy ad it wouldn't show up on my computer. did anyone put it on youtube
hey admin - nice job with todays clue. thanks for trying to wake everybody up a little (including myself). a couple things:
1. i feel like a big dolt - was ranting on here the other day about the slow pace of the game etc and admin blogged in response to "remember: Glyphs Can Be Fun". perhpas admin was trying to steer me in a direction but of course i was dense. sorry admin, my bad - ill try to be more observant ..
2. how DID u get this clue? does this mean admin is, at least partialy, ingame?
seems like the people in charge are releasing the clues to a few who in turn are responsible for releasing them to the rest of us, in whatever ways they deem fit - which is cool, and props to admin for taking an interesting direction with it - but does that mean those people not part of the player community anymore but rather part of the game provider? - (im sure that could be phrased better but its very early here) - i guess its all good as it doesnt make that much difference to most of us individually, but it seems like the lines are getting a little blurred as to where the game starts, whos in on it, etc - just an observation.
anyway thanks for an interesting day ... waiting to see what happens next
wf
BTW phoenix wants in - drop some clues here in p-town - we could use some excitement to divert our attention from the heat :)
wf
Thank you - TLEC - for a great hunt yesterday! Wish I could have gone to the myspace page, but alas work will not allow that site. Still was interesting to read what other people were figuring out.
David, William, all pictures getters, everyone...the hunt was excellent. It was so much fun! For folks that are upset, and can't figure why TLEC got a glyph, ponder this: Rachel and ROT have mentioned specific players on their blogs, why wouldn't Rachel reward a Bolg responsible for helping her, with a glyph. Someone above mentioned this breaking the 4th wall...how so? Do you really have to be in-game to be a part of the game? Anyway, excellent job guys, I was dreaming of LL, v8, and b's all night:)!
morning everyone! Still pumped from yesterday's glyph hunt!
To be clear, there is still one outstanding glyph as of right now...#29?
Also...testing a new avatar:)
ange: David did an amazing job and showed how this glyph hunting can be so much fun when you actually have *to do something* to get the glyph. I really think the TPTB should do this more often and with other fan websites. The portuguese Lost community would love to get a glyph! What best phase of the game than this one could make the ARG be a tottally global experience?
Hey on the Jimmy Kimmel Live page on the ABC site, on the video clips page, there is a selection that says "Check out the Apollo Bar" or something like that ... but I cant get the video to load ... anybody know why? the site or me? i dont know but something is up there i think
since we are still missing #29
SF inhabitants,
since trevtrevtrevor appears to be in-game, perhaps someone could check out these places:
http://www.43places.com/person/trevtrevtrevor
Hotel Triton or JavaOne (whatever/wherever that is)
lostmyd: the ad itself was removed from apollocandy
lostmyid- Yeah the button is gone...AND the direct link to the commercial is not working either! Whitefalcon mentioned something about apollo on the Jimmy Kimmell page, maybe we need to check that out!
whitefalcon-I got the video to work on the ABC Kimmel page...it is the same commercial from Apollocandy.com.
check out the message board there - i have a feeling about the jimmy kimmel site - there must be something there - has anything been foudn there over the course of the game?
ange - and how did you get the vid to work?
hey admins i think thats awesome that u guys got a glyph to show! it says to me that "Hey TLEC is sooooo pro that we should give them a glyph to reveal to the tons of TLE players who find this site pro as well" thats awesome!
I agree with big bruddah it was alll lena! straight up no more hanso exposed fragments for me......Wheres lena credit?!
welcome, bigbruddah! We're nicer over here anyways!
BTW - I am so excited that the last (first?) picture turned out to be Oscar the Grouch. That was the only unanswered question when I went to bed last night. I think I'm gonna make admin experience t-shirts.
25 minutes left for extra info, no?
whitefalcon-I don't know how I got the video to play. It didn't at first, but I clicked it a couple of times and it came up. Sorry I'm not more of a help.
I feel kinda stupid for doing this...
but someone has been trolling as me on ITE again... to avoid any confussion... I WILL NEVER POST ON ITE
tio brunow: and 7:00 AM in Portugal :D
I really don't think I have much of importance to say most of the time! 99% of it actually! I've just been curbing my natural prediliction to post silly stuff... good thing there is IM's and chats for release :-D
hey can i make a shameless plug?
my band, CRAYON SKY - www.myspace.com/crayonsky - is making an appearance at Arrowhead Towne Center in Phoenix this weekend on Saturday from 7-9pm - so anyone out here in PHOENIX come out and give me a NAMASTE
thanks admin!
>end of shameless plug
Are all those trolls gone. Man, last night was rough with all those fakers on here. Well, Thanks Admin and no matter what they say about us, TLEC ROCKS THE HOUSE...
GOOD MORNING TLEC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there are a lot of new and new old faces after that hunt yestersday
where is this banner on the fuselage, where on the page???
where on fuselage?
We need that glyph enlarged!!!!
Way to go painkiller...
That website I don't think is even real.
hey you know the glyph that was the inverse of an earlier glyph was the fragment code also the inverse of the earlier code?
website is real : replicasprops.com
pic is too low res to enlarge in photoshop
Ok, I'm still not seein' it. Where is it?
I went to replicaprops.com and if you click on LOST on the left hand side it lists 4 items... if you click on each item there seems to be the top portion of a glyph. I uploaded it to my photobucket here
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e142/princessbuddha/lost.jpg
That's all I got so far. :o)
does anyone know the 2 glyphs that are mirror images of each other??
Painkiller- I think we may already have that one...although I can not get it big enough and unblurry to read but look here:
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h209/AngeBrooke/glyphscompared.jpg
Oh, I just read CrimsonCane's post. Never mind. LOL!
invers glyphs anyone???
Yes, so I see. There doesn't seem to be a bottom portion that I can locate.
Surfgurlie - after the quote, if you highlight all the text, is a link to savejoop.com. The quote is also featured on the savejoop website. :)
2costa-Can you give me an idea of the shape you mean, and I'll look...It does seem that glyphs E2LL1Z5E and GMX18BCJ are inverse images:

http://members.aol.com/mattthepale/glyphs/gmx18bcj.jpg
This is the real noblelawyer - I am glad ya'll realized I was being impersonated last night on the last comments. I just want to say that I did not post anything after 8/10/06 at 10:55:35 until now. I see the Admin. removed alot but the comments at 11:26:57; 11:52:35; 11:50:02 in the last comment also were not me.
Thanks again for recognizing it wasn't me. Particularly MTP for pointing it out to others and e-mailing me.
I wonder if the TLEC admins are planning something big to celebrate the posting of clue #100 (the next one!)
those are the two ange, i was wondering if there was a relation between the fragment codes to but if there is it is not obvious
and thanks lena for having faith in me. Sure I've criticized some aspects regarding the pace of the game in the past but it was always constructive. And I thought the last glyph hunt was fantastic! Good job everyone.
anna sewell's quote is also on the top of savejoop.com's laft hand side column. It was just a way of getting us confused, and then highlighting the whole post to see the savejoop link.
I have posted all of the glyphs so far together on the message board. I really am starting to see a pattern with shapes (black with white dots, white with black dots), stick figure types (going yoga:)), etc...anyone else seeing patterns?
Link to Glyphs Thread
with the halucinagen turn they took the other day I wonder if the picture with the title det on djdans site means anything. det at sublymonal says it is detroit or diethyltryptamine. It the picture that looks sort of like the robocop made to fight peterwelleer in robocop1 which was set in detroit???
most of those pics at the bottom of the djdan page have something to do with TLE except the moon landing
diethyltryptamine is a powerful phycotropic agent. I think the hans moleman,oops i mean mandrake(my mother was into narrcotic plants) wig will still play a part in all of this???comments
til now he(bol) has served no purpose
Thanks for posting the pictures. I noticed the H4O glyph and our GLLV8B glyps look very simmilar.
Ange the dharma logos on the show have that kind of thing going in some are a white image on a black background and others are a black on white. I think that relates to my theory about the electromagnets polarity. The magnet was suck metal towards it then when desmond turned the dharma key it pushed metal away( the quarentine door flying in the air). I think it all ties to the yinyang/bad twin/ evil doppleganger(marvin and mark) thing they got going
MTP - how does one tell the difference in imposters? I had thought that blogger would not allow users to duplicate names.
hey im reading the bad twins book finally - anybody see a link from Manny Weismann to Mandrake Wig? maybe its been mentioned before - just occurred to me - the book has vague referrences to possible clues on almost every page - but i dont know if its of any real practical use
Thanks ora :)
somewhat of a possible spoiler for season 3!
does anyone else think that locke and others affected by the electromagnetic force will lose their healings because of the turning of the switch?
excellent question Tapdawg - they did say that Locke would be a different man in season 3.
whitefalcon-I am reading Bad Twin too! I agree, Manny does bring to mind Mandrake Wig- :)
oh i know about that... but he seems to sporatically lose his walking ability on different episodes... but what if as soon as he leaves the island or goes to the others location he loses his ability to walk again?
Man... that's really cool!
GOOD WORK!
Well, I guess everybody is waiting for the live DJDan podcast. Maybe a glyph or clue will be given during the podcast. Any of you guys calling in for this?
i dont think we get to call in... i think those that emailed him and he liked their questions he'll probably give them a number to call ... or he has already recorded it and its a pretend live broadcast.
remember when locke was talking to his phone sex operator that he was pretending to be peg bundy. He had an electromagnetic stimulation device on his legs to keep the muscles stimulated in his legs. I think the polarity switch may affect peoples behavior more than anything, MY other theory spoiller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on Fenry Gayle and the others is that they are infertile and Fenry made locke question his faith in the button so that he would stop pressing it so other ship and planes would be attracted there, much how I thought Kelvin purposely let desmond see the hole in his suit to get him to question the button and leave the hatch, remeber kelvin was goinh to take the dharma key and fenry had no way of knowing desmond would be back with the key. Fenry wanted that crazt light thing to go to its total conclusion...
what was the EW code???I missed that one
Fenrey was totally lying to locke when he said he was there to get him, locke wasn't one of the four names on the list. Fenry played his like good ole dad used to...
my word verification was just UHNSO I freaked me out at first glance
alone sweet solitude
Manny wig and the apolla site are so frustrating cause they haven't beared any edible frut yet
this is getting awkward, I need an exit strategy
Yesterday was great and i am glad I was back in time to participate. I hope yesterday's hunt was a sign of the future direction of the glyph search.
Belly - I believe I speak for everyone when I say that you and thrasher and the rest of the admins here are doing a great job on this forum.
lets all move foward and let the past be just that
so predictions about DJ Dan's live podcast? Glyph reveal?
i still think the game should move a little faster - remember that the puzzles etc are fun but the payoff is not really a real clue but 1/70th of a clue (the video) ..its an awful lot of work to put in for minimal returns .. seems like before the frags started there was more substantial reward for the efforts being put forth; when rachel put out her vids we got complete vids, daily for a while, not 5 second pieces of vids ... it would be nice if there were another line the game could explore simultaneous to the piecing together of this video ... perhaps the apollo bar thing will lead to something interesting .. I am really hoping it doesnt just lead to another tiny fragment of a video, the final contents of which are mostly already known about (awkward grammar there sorry)
Some things I think you guys have the right to know:
1. What happened yesterday...I don't know for sure but it was most likely a one time deal. If it happens again, you'll know it and I promise I won't mess with you. I know it was weird and maybe off-setting but I couldn't pass up a chance to help Rachel Blake.
2. I did my best to protect Rachel by hiding the glyph in a way that only the "good guys" could find, but I realize that I wasn't perfect in my execution. First, I mispelled TIGHTEST in my message to the myspace.com/randomempire people and that was a major screw up. Secondly, I failed to email all of the people that I said I would and caused some confusion. I didn't have lhorse007's email address and I just had a brain fart and think I forgot to email Crossfade. For that I am deeply sorry. I also emailed a few people outside of the "top 10" because I was trying to help move things along...this may have caused more confusion/alienation for some people and I regret it if it did. Hindsight is 20/20 and there are many things that could have been done differently...I have to keep reminding myself that I am only one man and this was my first try at something like this.
3. Here is a pic detailing who was emailed what. A couple of the pics were sent out twice and I kept changing the filenames to match the person's screen name that I was sending it to...therefore, I forgot who got what in a few instances. For example, the pic that was sent to wizardry_eas was sent to someone else as well and I forgot which one I sent to wizardry_eas. That is why his name is not listed but I know I sent him one.
4. The reason why I did things the way I did was because I was personally motivated to accomplish a few things...A) honor the faithful hardcore contributors to this blog while allowing everyone else an equal chance at finding a solution, B) foster a sense of community by making teamwork a necessity for success, C) balance variety and fun with urgency and intrigue by creating an online & offline path for glyph discovery.
5. I am grateful to Rachel for including me in this experience but I am also very exhausted. I don't know how she does it! I am also grateful for all of you who supported my efforts yesterday and couldn't be more excited about sharing the rest of this experience with you all. I am saddened by the hurtful comments made by a few and, while I wish the delivery was less harsh, am trying my best to understand and recieve them as constructive criticism. I think I'll be taking most of the weekend "off" to recover. :)
You guys ROCK! It was so cool watching everything go down yesterday. Everyone did great and I think we made Rachel proud. ;)
with the apollo site changing I got think 29 is still on there or something that means something. I still think the chocolate bar the lady is holding is the key, there are two layers to this picture. the obvious layer looks like the imprint on the candy bar,but if change your focus other characters appear. the last three being AVH
I must say that persanally, I dont have all the time that some others have to do research, etc., having a business full time with a family, and I think there are a few others out there like me. I want to tell all of you that I appreciate being able to piggyback upon your efforts and thereby enjoy the game. I guess it is one of the reasons I wish things would move a little faster, because I know that the way it is right now it is hard for those of us like me to feel involved fully - putting hours in a day every day in order to find a tiny piece of a clue - hours that I dont really have. I try to get involoved but it always seems to go past what I am able to do. But I want to thank all of you who do spend all the hours for making your efforts available so we can have fun too ...
If you in the "in-crowd", as matt's bad twin or his marvin candle to his mark wickman, are done rehashing the past lets focus on the present and futrure glyphs,jk...
Admin - I have no critizims at all about how you handled it yesterday (any critiszms were from the troll impersonating me).
I hope TPTB follow your example and hard work for future glyps releases
Admin- (David)
Even though I don't post much, I want you to know that those of us who've been lurking for a long time (speaking for myself, that is) really enjoyed yesterday. I appreciate so much all your effort. Thank you!!!
as for future glyphs I think DJ Dan will provide one or hint as to where to locate one. Maybe even the mysterious #29?
noblelawyer,
I didn't get home last night until around 11:30 (I met & gave a tshirt to "Scully" by the way!). The first thing I read when I opened my laptop in bed was your impersonator. My wife was freaking out and I knew something had to be wrong. For a second there I thought those painkillers had gotten to you or you were mad at me for not visiting you while I was in N.O. or something!
Well said David. I think the other bloggers on the other game sites just got a little jealous. Don't apologize to them, they should be apologizing to us and thanking TLEC for a great hunt. Kudos..
who was impersonated besides matt the pale???
am I the only one theat sees the doucle layer on the candy bar
ryandrumz,
Maybe jealousy...but I try to give everybody the benefit of the doubt and put myself in their shoes. Lots of people have been deeply involved in following Rachel's exploits from the beginning and have never needed to worry about our little blog. I can see how it would be frustrating to suddenly feel like you're on the outside looking in. They don't know our names, our culture, our history, etc and it could be very confusing.
There isn't much I/we can do about it except be sensitive to it and be as understanding and helpful as possible.
dfizz,
Oh, I'm glad you said that! I forgot to mention that my plan was to distribute the "G" picture by midnight (CST) if Maven hadn't checked in or if nobody had found/posted about the tshirt.
Ultimately I would have liked for the puzzle to have been solved around the same time as the tshirt people were sitting down at their keyboards. That is next to impossible to coordinate!
dfizz (& lena),
There was nothing on the back on either of the shirts. In the video, I was wearing the yellow shirt over another shirt that was red. You probably saw the design on the red shirt showing through.
2costa- That is the bar I'm always looking at, but I'm not sure what you mean by double layer.
Great job admin...I would say more, but everyone else has pretty much said it all.
May I ask what the first shirt you are wearing is? I keep trying to read that one too.
noiq,
has scully posted a pic of her shirt yet? Just curious.
She was cool...I had told her that I was worried about her being willing to meet a "stranger" by herself so I brought my wife with me and we met at a coffee shop that was crowded. The first thing she did was flash her DA badge! I thought I was being arrested for some sort of online violation!
cattygirl,
In the video? I'm wearing the same tshirt that Lena & Scully got. It has the glyph with the code and it says "Glyphs Can Be Fun".
Oh man Belly- you were so close....that's amazing that you almost had it at the same time as Lena.
belly,
I know. I was out but I grabbed a laptop at the house I was visiting and checked in. That's when I called you and told you that you were soooo close. I saw that you had LLV8B...
My next hint would have been "6 characters" and then "looking for a letter". That would have been exciting! I'm happy for Lena though.
:) I mean the red one in the opening of the video. There is Jul 06 on the back...
If I'm totally off - just tell me I've lost my mind. ;)
Admin- how did you get the glyph- or can you say? Did they email it to you or call you...what?
William told me that Lena told him that she may not be able to post until morning. I told him to tell her that she had to scan the shirt or take a pic of it...not allowed to just give out the code (since Rachel prefers to have the glyphs out there). I was trying to buy the "Put the Pics Together" people some time.
Hey Admin- I think you should make us a t-shirt commemorating TLE- Thrasher suggested it (in jest i think) but I also suggested it about a week ago, and think it would be cool to have a TLEC shirt.
David-Just want to say again, how amazing yesterday was. You guys played your glyph well...and the planning was great (even if Maven didn't check her mail:)). The energy you put into it really keeps your fan base/posters here and WELL BEHAVED! As for trolls...well I am thinking of changing my name to "Princess Ange" per josh halloway's trolly comment, and resuming life in my happy bubble:)! Thanks again guys...it was amazing! Oh yeah...and how did Rachel contact you anyway?
scoutpost, I'm not ignoring you but I don't have a good answer to that question.
noiq, I don't have Rachel's phone number...sorry!
cattygirl, the red shirt was one I had designed for a group that I took to do relief work in New Orleans. The front said "Give For Nothing" and it was a reminder to the group to serve the people of New Orleans wholeheartedly without expecting anything in return. The back was a Louisiana License plate that read...
Louisiana
JHC 06 (Stands for "Junior High Connection 06")
7 JULY (Stands for the month that we went)
CC (Stands for "Celebration Church" the group that set up jobs for us and provided housing and meals)
Quote from Admin, 'Lots of people have been deeply involved in following Rachel's exploits from the beginning and have never needed to worry about our little blog.

This is true and thank you for reminding everyone.
G'morning/afternoon all,
Well, finally got a chance to catch up on yesterday's excitement after I left work. That was a lot of fun. Still have to read this posting's comments (hoping no trolls followed from the previous posts).
Not sure if I'll be back to post today, but just wanted say Howdy, and I really enjoyed yesterday (both participating and simply reading about it).
Okay, back to my catching up...
Princess Ange- does that mean that you will still hunt for glyphs yourself or will you have to get servants to do that for you?
Scoutpost-LOL would you like to sign up for that job:):):):) Since I've never found a glyph maybe I should look into hired help...or just plain help in general!
Belly-yup I sent one on Tuesday.
Yakobus1,
If no one has answered you yet the west coast is Pacific Standard Time... so 11:00 pm for you ...1:00 am for east coast.
That being said, Shouldn't DJ Dan have updated by now. He said 12 hours before the live cast he would give us more info. That would be 1:00pm here in New York and it is now 1:45 pm, he could be late, but I figured if they gave a time stamp they would stick to it.
TLEC Admin, It was a good hunt even though you chose to segregate most of the players. Some would say that you simply gave it away to those who felt most comfortable with leaking it out there.
Ded
scoutpost & thrasher76,
About the tshirts. Randomshirts.com has offered to sell "Glyphs Can Be Fun" tshirts and also the old "I Heart Joop" shirts again. I could probably get them to do a TLEC one too. There are just 2 problems with that: 1) People will question my/our motives. I'm totally not in this to make money and have yet to make a cent on anything...but if people catch a whif of greed in me, they'll eat me alive with all kinds of accusations. 2) Surprisingly, the Save Joop shirts were not great sellers in the grand scheme of randomshirts business so they aren't super pumped about doing the work to add them to their storefront. They actually have a lot of irons in the fire right now - just came out with a new clothing line called Zasur (zasur.com). Please don't go there looking for clues :)!
Ded,
Not exactly sure what you're saying. I was pretty confident that the people I sent pics to would be willing to share whatever they got as soon as they got it. I viewed sending emails to those people as equal to posting the pics on the frontpage of this blog...I knew that they would get the word out and everyone would have a chance to see them eventually. I kept in "in-house" b/c I doubted that people from other blogs or forums would trust me and respond. Make sense?
lostawayt,
Thanks for the compliment.
Everyone,
I'm off to get that much need rest I talked about earlier in my "Some things I think you guys have the right to know" post in this comments thread. If you haven't read it yet, you may want to :). Talk to you all later...
lostmyshape,
That does seem to be new... I get the same thing as you--we should def keep an eye on it tho!
noiq-
Good luck with the DJ Dan emial. If it iurns out Rachel has a slighly less attractive friend, I would be happy to wing-man for you.
so who out there has the Lost jigsaw puzzles? I plan on going to Barnes & Noble today to see if they have them... I have a friend who's catching up on Season 2 now that I was going to ask to help me with them... Do they give things away that she shouldn't see until after seeing a certain episode?
I get the same "loading..." for the US Distribution link. Too bad I have to leave for an Astronomy outreach event in a few minutes. It probably won't load before then! :(
Apollocandy US distribution button works for me.
New fragment in the wild.
Damn...no apollo bar givaways in Massachusetts...guess I won't be psychotropically enhanced:(
Ooooh! I hope crystalskull and I can go to the LA one!
hmm, so do I drive the 2 hours to DC on a Thursday to find out if they contain glyphy goodness??
i live pretty close to DC but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get down there on a weeknight.
For those who can't get to the webpage at Apollo...
America! Can't wait to get your hot little hands on the most scrumptious most ummmm-tious chocolate bar in the world? You don't have to!
The Apollo Candy Company is thrilled to announce our legendary Apollo Bars are being given away free for a limited time at the following locations and times. Supplies are limited, so just one bar per person per location. Act fast! Once these Apollo Bars are gone, they're really gone!

how do u get to the commercial for apollo??
Hmm. Glyph 35 has been found. Anybody know what it is?
But there is only 34 found on the leaderboard.
iB4uc-There are 35 out...#29 is still not found...thus 34 published.
I don't know who found it, but it's on valenzettiequation.com. It shows up in the flash intro.
The code is GMIWRLHHNHM
Beardy: "When you have created through science the--" followed by static/snow
Well dang could it be any longer?
(the code itself that is)
he keeps talking through the snow but his image fades in and out so it's almost impossible to tell what his saying after that...
Damnit...I skipped the intro!!!! Anyway the clip looks like we'll be treated to more glitches in the technology...perhaps conveniently bugging out key information in the static.
ange: I'm sorry. I can be such a dunce sometimes. But looking at the stats, it shows that #35 was entered already.
This sucks, the one day that I don't check the Gary Troup sites, the code is released there. =(
and it looks like it goes right after rrgyxs "one tru way has been found
check that, righ tafter it
David - I hope you told your wife it wasn't me!
milk,
No, I think it goes right before that one: "when you have created through science the ... [garbled], you will know that the one true way has been found."
ya it also is missing something that rachel edited out or the tape messed up so we may not know what is said til after the 70 clips
you guys are to quick for me
it sure looks like one of those fishy edits in the swan orientation
So now we know that not only was the orientation originally on film which has jumps and edits, but it was then transferred to video which has glitches and errors, and then turned into a digital file to run on this laptop it's being shown on. Man, that's a lot of opportunities for that thing to be edited and changed around...
I agree, I typed too fast for what I was thinking.
you have created with science,bleeb buzzbbuz... we will know the one true way is found
-beardy
Off topic- Just found out hubby has to make a trip to Hawaii in October for a tennis tournament he's in....woohoo! (not for him haha, but for me) Lost mecca here I come! Now if I can just figure out what to do with the kids while we're gone. hmmmmm I'll figure something out.
anybody read lips and can tell what he's saying in the staticy parts? not much to go on really... looks like he's forming a hard "C" or "Qu" sound when it starts to fade--for some reason I thought he was going to say "correct" but who knows?
I'll definetly be at the Santa Monica Apollo Bar give-away. Very cool. Maybe Rachel will be making appearances at all of them telling us not to eat them...
Right on, new glyph, apollo news, and DJDan Live. Today is turning out to be very fun...
over half the pieces, most fitting together into chucks of 2+. We are getting to a point where every piece will start painting a better picture. 35-45 should leave us in the dark for the most part but 45-55 we should be getting some very lengthy sections that make sense. Roland brings up a good point about a copy, of a copy, of a copy. How accurate is what we a piecing together.
Guess I'll have to drive to LA to get a bar...do I want to drive from Phoenix to LA for a candy bar?
Erich said...
Seems to me to be all-too-convenient damage to an old videotape... C'mon, you didn't think they'd give us all of the film didja?
Yes...I did:( They better give us something after hunting down 70 glyphs and dealing with HE.com!!
BLAST! I missed another code? That's what I get for acctually paying attention at work today. Oh well - I'll check back later to see what else I missed. have a good one, all!
of coures if mittlewerk is using THF for his own nefarious purposes now after having gotten rid of Alvar he could have manipulated the tape
Caw- the information about DJDan is on the front page of www.abc.com
Hey peeps! This MIGHT be my LAST STUPID DIAL UP post today, so if I am NOT around, its because I am having trouble loading the comments.
