Hey Jude (hehe)... yeah check out the "Twitter from Spearman" thread: https://dbchat.forumotion.co.uk/current-clues-from-spearman-f10/twitter-from-spearman-t199.htm

This is a good clue recon its got to be flickr then

who's arthur? Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:22 am

guys just incase you weren't aware there's a way of using google to search through a site without having to go to the site itself ... say for example you were searching for Gerry Spearman on photobucket you go to google and type "site:photobucket.com Gerry Spearman" and it does it for ya Very Happy

**colinrocks** Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:23 am

I've tried all the usual search terms on flickr - for both the general search and the user search... nothing yet Sad

not giving up hope though Smile

jude Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:23 am

I'd say so. Still don'tknow how to find the uploader though...

naughtyhorty Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:25 am

Yes also got it. But can't search anything till I get home...I think the biggest site is flickr.....just got to work out what to search

**colinrocks** Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:28 am

Yeah, googling for photographic upload sites lists:

www.flickr.com
www.imageshack.us
www.photobucket.com
www.dotphoto.com
www.tinypic.com

It's got to be one (or all) of them. Now... what could he have uploaded, could have called it, or could have used as a username...

who's arthur? Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:29 am

logically the pic will be called rabbit_2 as that was the one missing inbetween your two clues or something to do with rabbit

Storm Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:33 am

perhaps any anagram of compass or as ardyer says rabbit 2 or 3

jude Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:38 am

Tried rabbit in several combos before...

Signed up Oct 10th. No photos yet (at least no public ones). Hard to tell if it is or isn't relevant.

d_g - Hmm - why not email it to Spearman and see what he says Smile

emiiily Thu Oct 29, 2009 3:26 pm

Just an FYI to you guys..

I watched Seance again tonight as I wasn't giving it my full attn last night. Almost finished watching Russian Roulette too.. 5 mins to go. Can't find any clue of the sort & following up SE's tweet, I think we better keep searching online!

**HannahHannah81** Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:43 pm

Ohhhh. I'm stuck. Stuck. Stuck. Stuck! 5th email from Spearman - "Able and willing?" (Images) - Page 15 616576

I really think we need more help from Spearman; has anyone heard from him today at all?

nikki_watt Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:48 pm

nope not a sausage!!!!

**rogibson** Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:51 pm

OK let's think about this logically; In the first round, Spearman's riddle related to location, therefore the titles of his image attachments were an anagram of compass. What could the title of the image he has hidden be an anagram of? What is the overriding theme of this round's challenge?

Hmm - well I don't think it's clear whether the message is to do with Andy or not. In my mind, the theme is to find out whether we're willing to help. Seems he's letting us stew for a while, though he did hint on twitter today.

JayKay Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:53 pm

To find Andy? To find teh message? To get a message out to the world?

JayKay Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:53 pm

Yeh... willing...

who's arthur? Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:54 pm

guys i really want you to find this image and whill help where i can but seems to be drawing up a blank everywhere

**rogibson** Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:54 pm

Honestly, I think we need one more email to really get our teeth into this round, but I also think we need to be searching for what the message could possibly say before we begin looking for the sender.

Jennyfz84 Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:59 pm

I think I have now tried EVERY anagram of every possible related word on every image upload site ever!
The clues have not been this hard up to now..Do we think that this clue is as straight forward as Spearman's email suggests?
His tweet today makes me think there might not be any more clues coming our way..

'Andrew in Marrakesh' is a valid account but contains no posted items.

'-ecilA-' is also valid, started close to the beginning of the ARG but is not connected.

'Mirror rirroM' is another false positive.

llorraC - false positive.

There are a lot of false-positive hits on reversals of keywords and related thematic words. An exhaustive analysis of each main photo upload site will take a considerable amount of time.
