Numbers Resolve to Email Address as Suspected

Amazing day today on the quest to uncover the "truth" behind PandoraNext.com

The main string of digits was deciphered to:
DWIKSTROM@GMAIL.COM

A solution provided by Robert (from unfiction):

3420282220835@9131302.10191 3420282220835 / 208827064576 = 16 = P
79049187619 / 8031810176 = 9 = I
6762896035 / 308915776 = 21 = U
275664739 / 11881376 = 23 = W
2393091 / 456976 = 5 = E
108211 / 17576 = 6 = F
2755 / 676 = 4 = D
51 / 26 = 1 = A
25 = 25 = Y
PIUWEFDAY ROT-14 DWIKSTROM

9131302 / 456976 = 19 = S
448758 / 17576 = 25 = Y
9358 / 676 = 13 = M
570 / 26 = 21 = U
24 = 24 = X
SYMUX ROT-14 = GMAIL

10191 / 676 = 15 = O
51 / 26 = 1 = A
25 = 25 = Y
OAY ROT-14 = COM
Also a quick gist of the game so far was reported by GuyPsons (taken from
unfiction):


A rundown from the happy world of the MU chatroom and IU
board regarding communication:

a) Feeling generally stuck, I email CTAP to let
them know Dr Lorenzo isn't associated with Zeke and ask for more information in
return for my help.

b) They don't give me any more information but tell me that
thanks to my help, they'll have cracked the code by 8am tomorrow morning
(Friday) This is good (we find the email address) but bad (because once CTAP
work it out they can put a "sniffer" on it and read all the emails that go
through it.) They also tell me that if we contact anyone involve to use Zeke's
name in the conversation so it's flagged up on the EAGLEEYE system and the
account can be sniffed that way.

c) Therefore, if you want to help Zeke (cos fugitives RULE!) then don't use his name in the conversation.

d) The code is cracked by people. The Derek emailing begins. He gives us the same set of times as someone posted earlier. We let him know that we think it's for the best if he gets a new email address quickly before CTAP crack it, in order to protect Zeke.

e) We can't use Zeke's name so we ask him to look it up on WHOIS and see if it
rings any bells. He tells us he'll leave that complicated stuff up to us...
dammit! He's pretty shook up about the whole thing so I email him to calm his
nerves. He says he'll get a new email address tomorrow afternoon, and that he'll
read any email he gets to his original account but not respond to it, or respond
to it from his new account. He promises to let us know the new email address
too.

f) Send cryptic message to postmaster. Also advise to change address. Gets
same response as posted here: "THE TRUTH WILL OUT."

g) I attempt to make up for my earlier blunder (cluing in CTAP about the Doc) by telling them we cracked the puzzle and giving them a fake email address. They lap it up... but tell me that they will try and confirm the address soon. Hopefully we've bought some time for Derek & Zeke. It looks like this might shape up to be a "team" game... CTAP seem keen to recruit players to join their volunteer branch, VCTAP. And then some people are going to want to help Zeke... ah, the old divide and conquer.

Last thing: game launches midnight, October 11th
.

It seems Pandora Next is beginning to shape "teams" --- CTAP vs. FUGITIVE, who will win???

One thing is for sure, someone is quite intent on releasing what they believe to be the truth and the CTAP are trying quite hard to stop them. No matter how you look at it, EAGLEEYE is watching you and that my friend has got to mean something interesting lies just beyond the bend --- that is...if that bend can be found.

The Truth Must Get Out

project: Pandora Next

"the box opens 1101"
...yet the pre-game has started and speculation is flying over this:

3420282220835@9131302.10191 - posted by: 704143
...and a message hidden within the source with 2 variations found (so far):

1. The red flower and feeling good
2. The red flower and a waterhole
...and of course there is the image itself:
Nothing is as it seems

(note: the images directory allows a virtual listing -- perhaps future dirs will as well)

"seek what is hidden"
