Second document from 4 of 5. There might be one more. I don't really have time to look, but this is like 30 images. This one sucked

LOL. That email is awesome. Even if some of these don't give clues, the backstory is really sucking me into that world. I think Jarret is up to no good.

Yeah I am writing it out also. I can't find the original DNA sequence though the one on the chalkboard. Can you link me to it.

I tried it the other day to no avail... but we'll see. :/

I haven't tried skewing the image '@' overlay image, rather than just re-sizing/mirroring. I can't try right now unfortunately.

Here it is in non-pulsating form:

I got the same sequences as cheesy steve so it should have no mistakes.

I have something different then. My two "diffs" are different than the posted ones... I'm gonna check some things again.

dave is ok · Oct 30, 2014

There is another page in 4. If someone hasn't done it by the time I get back from the shop to pick up my car, I'll start on it.

Qwan3356 · Oct 30, 2014

wow to see everyone come together to figure this out is just great.

Doffen · Oct 30, 2014

Great work folks! Sorry I haven't been able to help out today :/

Garrett Hawke · Oct 30, 2014

Btw I got something close ISH on the map by flipping it upside down. :/

This was without skewing the image at all, just resizing it but keeping aspect ratio perfect.

I'll work on 4.

Also, I messed up my DNA by one letter again. Re-checking now.

This is what I got.....

Here is the phone part

They actually break the fourth wall at the bottom and write "Competitors phone calls are optional and will be charged at your normal network rate"

SO THE PUZZLE SEEMS TO BE CITIES FOR THE @ MAP

Auckland, Singapore, New York, LA, London, Dubai, and Tokyo. so far.

That is 7. GO GO GO

Have we tried calling those numbers?

I tried sending an e-mail to a couple of the addresses in the correspondence. It didn't bounce back, but nothing good came of it unfortunately. Heh.

Yes. The answering machine says that they are open between 9am and 10am in New York, LA, London, Dubai, and Tokyo. Going to have to call back later.

Arcadius · Oct 30, 2014

Just want to say. I've have a déjà vu dream about this before. 3 or so years ago I dreamt about a DNA sequence and losing out on the big prize.

Damn 3 years since I've had the dream and now certain events are occurring for it appear before me. Hah, pretty funny that the DNA sequence kicked my ass back then, it's doing the same now.

In Service · Oct 30, 2014

One of the medical docs has Lagos as a location?

dave is ok · Oct 30, 2014

MTUP isn't working as a passcode for me now, but I've had the form open for hours. Someone double check me?

Weird that they blacked out the emails for this folder. I also emailed all of the emails posted just in case.

Also I imagine their emails are (First initial full last name @overchargedrink.com) So I am listing some potential things in here.
Bill Staten (bstaten@overchargedrink.com)
Brian Thierry (BThierry@overchargedrink.com)
Geena Lokhin (GLokhin@overchargedrink.com)
Jarret (Jarret@overchargedrink.com)
Kane (Kane@overchargedrink.com)
Project_D@overchargedrink.com
dclose2@overchargedrink.com
thall7@overchargedrink.com
"C" word is "Chemical" I assume.

dave is ok · Oct 30, 2014

Page 3 of folder 2 looks very clue-y. Lots of omissions

Arcadius · Oct 30, 2014

Aren't all the emails just @overchargeddrink.com?

Let me know if I missed anything.

I this was twitch, I would so sub you right now.

Thanks

Arcadius · Oct 30, 2014

I tried my best to use the city names on the @ map provided by tghm1801. I tried going from NY, LA, London, Dubai, Tokyo, Auckland, Singapore and then reversing that process. I don't think it's supposed to be random.

Other papers have mentioned Congo, Lagos, Stockholm and 'Lome' (Rome?) too.

Probably others.

I don't know if you want to add what I just edited in my last post it's names and emails. Could be completely irrelevant.

Lome is on the south coast of the butt of Africa.

I will. I think the C word is Congo though

Forgot to add it never said in the emails, but I imagine Kane is Rupert F. Kane if you wanted to add that.

I hope that somewhere, Braxzy is working on his next recap post.

C word is Cokesico.

Edit: Also, I find it amusing how many times they reuse the word "heretofore." :-D

I may go and play the Evolve Alpha for a while to refresh.

Arcadius · Oct 30, 2014

So I've been thinking, did the zip files lead to anything worthwhile? We got the lamp code, so that's fine and dandy.

I assume that means that everything else is pretty... pretty useless. We seem to get one code for a multitude of ARG puzzles, which means the @ page would have to be the next thing we need to solve, right?

Oh shit , what does that leave us one more code after that :O I cant recall any other ones we haven't solved yet.

EDIT: forgot the DNA thing

Yea, i meant after we solved the @ page and got a code from that we would still have one left.

(I also screwed up typing my sentence on that one , its fixed now)

We also got the last part for the url of the submit page but that was useless since we already knew about it. You would think that the ZIP files were meant to be the last thing if the last part of the url was in it.

DNAmite and @larm codes

Mr. Luchador · Oct 30, 2014

I we hounded the overchargeddrink.com website at all?

Edit: NVM it was one of the very first clues, I totally forgot about it >.<

Is it possible that the log in security page has different log ins? We possibly have new usernames.

I thought of that earlier but we don't have any apparent new passwords to my knowledge.
