Sweet, it worked. I would say the way you arranged those letters was pretty unambiguous and unlikely to be incorrect anyway.

For Commencement.pdf, the link is here: http://dolst.9k.com/gangadiddle/Commencement.pdf

If you can't get that for some reason, I can just put it in a google doc.

Wait.... why are you guys doing all this anyways?

Here's the general rundown and a kindof briefing on the story so far:
http://gangadiddle.proboards.com/index. … amp;page=1

The short short version is that we're trying to find the Gangadiddle before 2013 or it might take over the world and destroy us all. But there is another group known as the s33k3rs who are looking for it (him?) and might try to use it to, uh, well, probably also take over the world and destroy us all.
Nathan Israel (Interdimensional Hunt Master), dolst, and David Yamaguchi have been feeding us information, but now the s33k3rs have incapacitated them.

This link gives a brief over view of the our attempt to free them.

HTH, and welcome to the Hunt!

I suggest also reading all of the posts in this thread. It will really help understand where we are right now and what we need.

Eebster:
Thanks for the link! I don't know why I couldn't get to it before, unless it was a speeling error on my part.

New videos on s33k3rs and dolst's youtube accounts. I can't view them at work. :(

this feels very localised on RHQ
i don't want this place to become a staging ground for a massive counter-world-destruction attempt

Whoaho! Sorry I've been away for so long but it doesn't really look like I was doing much good after all!
Great job, tomatogoatee! I need to update the Gangadiddle proboards page (not like anybody reads it anyway). So what happens now? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. :-)

Tomato, I got your message, and I appreciate the help. Sorry for being gone, I've been out of the country on a trip. bout 10 pages since I left, can someone give me a TL;DR version of what I missed?

Are you still out of the country or are you back home? You are, presently, our best hope for finding out what we need from that darned site.

Alright, guys, I've got some news. My birthday is coming up on the 23rd and I told my wife about how I wanted to participate in this 'web-game' and she's agreed to take a trip with me to some field in the middle of BFE, Virginia to take pictures of a sign and she's all for it! So, unless someone else can manage to get there before me, we'll be heading up the weekend of the 24th-26th. If anyone can be online to help solve the puzzles during that timeframe, we might even be able to go to another couple sites before we have to head back to Florida.

Our plan would be to leave Friday the 24th nice and early for the 10-hour drive, find our hotel in Richmond and, hopefully, get out to the Dunnsville site that afternoon/early evening. Provided there's AT&T coverage in the area, I should be able to upload pictures from the site. Maybe we could coordinate a chatroom for the weekend to expedite solving the clues.

Just to let you guys know, we won't be spending ALL our time up there on the hunt. (We do want some 'us' time.) We will, however, spend as much time as we can in the aid of the group.

Gotta love the s33k3rs. The last, fleeting cries of a fading faction. Once we find the leader's name, they'll be all but a memory.

Given that last tweet from G, the clue is somewhere in the walkway, not so much the signs at the end. I'm planning on taking photos of everything in the area (walkway, signs, anything that looks like part of the site), so I'm sure we'll figure it out.

(I will confess that, upon review of the previous 'clueX' puzzles, the bytecodes were cake. I hope we'll have a few people available to work on it, because I don't really know how much use I'll be, aside from my camera.)

(OOG: That last clue seems like a gimmie. I guess that, since it looks like this'll be the only expedition we get for a while, he wants to make sure we don't miss it. You can believe me when I say I'm not planning on missing ANYTHING while I'm there, dag-nabbit! This is probably my only chance to physically participate in the Hunt. Heck, I'd love to be the one who FINDS the G, but that's not terribly likely, given we still have, what, six clues left [barring any further bindings] and I'm only going to be there for a couple days.)

Welcome to my opposition Paperwulf. "Drive 4 hours? For pictures? HA!"

That's kinda the response I was expecting, but my wife loves road trips. Plus, Richmond is only a couple hours away from DC, so the wife and I were thinking of hitting some museums while we're there.

Paladin wrote:

TG, I'm very glad you can come down to Richmond with your wife. Perhaps we could manage a rendevous?

You mean 'up' to Richmond. ;) I'd love to meet up! It'd be great to meet a fellow Hunter in person. (As you might guess, there's a lack of them down here.) What part of the state do you live in?

I was just reading through this post again, familiarizing myself with the puzzle styles and saw on page 13, post 303:

I didn't see a solution found to this hint anywhere else in the thread and was wondering if it was solved, abandoned, unrelated, or obsolete. The ingur.com link points to the image screencaped in the post, but lacks the embedded RAR and, naturally, the included audio clip.

Oh man, I remember this, but I don't remember how it turned out!! Basically it was posted in /x/ and I want to say it was solved but I don't remember now. :-/ Sorry.

I'm guessing that, since it was on /x/, it was more a trailhead and not so much a clue to any particular part of the puzzle. I have a feeling the solution involved the text from the song as the source for the numbers.

Haven't seen any comments on it, but according to a tweet from s33k3rs, David never existed. I don't know what they could have done to retroactively remove him from the timeline, but if he really is gone/never was, then we've lost an important ally.

Still searching for David. It's not very encouraging. :-( Surf Wisely.

@dolst You cannot find someone who never existed. Our energetic vector proximity to the Gangadiddle aids us.

In the past, uncommon words in tweets were usually some kind of clue. I've been pouring over 'energetic vector proximity' trying to figure out if there's something there we can use the help dolst find David, but like I mentioned before, word puzzles aren't exactly my strong point.

From my 11th Hour days, my first guess was that 'energetic' means 'vector' or 'vector proximity' is an anagram for something. (The only word I can get out of 'vector' is 'covert' and I get way too many using both words together... Nothing worth nothing with 'proximity' alone.)

Of course, this could also just be the s33k3rs trying to appear intimidating and I'm seeing things that aren't there, but that's a peculiar choice of words. Energetic (abundance of energy, hyper) vector (direction, course) proximity (closeness in location, time, order) just doesn't make sense by itself...

listen, they are on my heels and I lack very much time left. I expect you to listen and to learn. the hunt is not safe, you must leave it right now. They will use your heads for the next signal jamming. This one will not be in wyoming, though, it will be in New York, every signal will be hacked. Stop the mastermind befor- oh god! no! get back! GAHHHHHHHH!
