Tim's clue being the auto pic of Billy Dee as Lando in Star Wars, I believe.

Posts: 615 Good Thursday Morning to all my DIS friends!

Dear Mr. Pinobi. What did we tell you last night in the meeting? No clues. No messing with minds.

Please forgive him, folks. He attended a meeting last night because some of the tech mods are working behind the scenes. Unfortunately our beloved Jedi Moderator hates to be left out of the fun and was begging all night to be able to leave a clue.

I apologize and we have taken away his lightsaber for the day as punishment.

Now, to get to my clue for the day. I see Ty is trying to equip you all with bullhorns, as if things aren't loud enough around here with him.

Here is my clue for today. I think it is quite a bit clearer than Ty's.

Time for speculation!

I was FYI'd to this thread for Tim's clues--today one with a black and white outline of Washington State was given and the following are some state tidbits--hope this sparks a connection!

Washington State
Anyone working on the Washington State clue?

Some things I have found:

-42 State-November 11, 1889
-Lewis and Clark Expedition--October 10th, 1805
-Yakima Valley known for its Apple Orchards

We have come to help the good people of the DIS. Gordon will save the bad cooks on the DIS and turn them into gourmets. Ty can help turn your homes into showplaces. Oprah will keep you updated on the best reading outside of the internet, Dennis will be keeping a watchful eye on the political threads, Tommy Lee, Randy, Simon and Paula will help you broaden your musical horizons, Jeff will help you learn to survive in the jungle, Judge Marilyn is here to keep the peace and settle differences, Regis and Kelly are here to provide blow by blow commentary and to keep us up to date on news and events, and I'm here along with Stacy and Clinton to talk some fashion sense into you Croc wearers. For the love of fashion, people! The shoes are plastic!

Oh, and Paris Hilton is here because she shows up everywhere.





And if you believe everything I said, you are mistaken. We are here for a bigger purpose. But I can't tell you now. It's a secret.

Carry on!

10/28/06 10:05pm

Well, I'm not Dennis, but I can answer this. I think its safe to say we will be able to make this work.

Trust me, it will be worth the wait and there are going to be some happy people when our project is over!

10/28/06 10:21 PM

For the skeptics out there, there will come a day in the near future when you will be kicking yourselves for not getting to know us! Something big is at stake here and this group of celebrities hates a Doubting Thomas! (and they have long, photographic memories!)

10/28/06 10:24 pm

Well, they officially call me the Mentor, but just like on Project Runway, I really run the show . Of course, don't tell Ty (Or Heidi!)

10/28/06 10:30 pm

I'm sure you will seeing the celebrities about on more boards soon. They are spending a lot of time being debriefed about the project and a few are still in the ER trying to reverse the deafness TY caused them with his bullhorn. (Ty, once again, bullhorns belong outside, not on the bus!)

You may even see some more celebrities coming after they get done training. I know Ellen DeGeneres is coming, so is Simon Cowell. Stacy and Clinton should be here soon. Richard Simmons has signed on. The Donald will be here. Rosie O'Donnell will be coming, Julie Chen is due in soon and of course, Regis Philbin will be joining Kelly! And you know how celebrities are. Once they find out that there is a group doing something newsworthy out there, they all have to take part in it. Personally I've heard that Phil Keoghan is trying to make it in time for the project but Jeff Probst is trying to keep him out. Those two, always trying to one up each other whether in ratings or in the public!

10/28/06 11:14 pm

Well, Lovetoscrap, I can assure you that The DIS's big surprise will have nothing to do with credit cards or costing you money! Quite the opposite. Will it be easy? Not at all. But will there be a big reward? Most definitely! Will everyone have fun? If you play along with us, I can guarantee it! We won't be taking over Walt Disney World or remodeling the castle, but I can guarantee you will be excited about what some people will be able to do when we are done!

And THAT, is all I can say.

At least you got a space on the Poll, Tommy.

Sad, really. Because if there is anyone they should be sucking up to, it's me.

10/29/06 12:43 pm

Oh but I beg to differ! We all do have a common link other that just being celebrities!

And the project is a big one and the payoff for some will be big. But I can guarantee it won't come easy!

Good Morning DISers! Can I have you gather around?

First I wanted to thank you for keeping the excitement about the secret project running high. You are a great bunch of people and we appreciate your faith in us that we will be having fun.

To the DISers guessing, we haven't had anyone right on the money yet but several people have gotten bits and pieces of the project right. If you add them all up, the correct answer has almost been guessed! You guys are smart!

As for today's hints or clues, I just wanted to assure you that the project is not something you would blink and miss. So if you are gone for the day, you will not miss out on a chance to join the project. You will have at least a week to decide whether you want to tackle it. Plus it will be announced from the rooftops of the DIS so you do not have to worry about missing it.

To help with your guesses, let me narrow the field a bit. We are not doing anything to change the landscape of the Disney company or property so no remodeling. Our project is virtual with real life payouts for those that can "make it work".

And that is all I will say today.

Carry on!

10/30/06 7:51 am

I'm certainly saddened that you feel that way. I've tried to keep a close watch on my celebrity team and besides Community Boards, but the most posts I have seen "clogging" any boards is one thread on the front page.

And the way not to participate is not to click on the thread. The project will have a big presense on the DIS for quite some time.

10/30/06 6:22 pm

Good evening everyone! And how was your day today? Been spending the day thinking about what the secret project could be?

I thought I would be kind and drop another small hint for you to think over. I've seen guesses back and forth on several different threads. I thought I would add something for your speculation.

Your clue for tonight is: "This is much more extreme than anything ever done on the DIS before."

Carry on!

Good morning friends!

I trust everyone got plenty of rest last night and weren't thinking too much about what the project is?

I see Ty has dropped a hint with the number 3. Odd. If I were to give a number hint, I would go with something like 24 or maybe 50 or more.

If you all want, I can give you another hint as well.

10/31/06 10:16 am

Okay, I will give you all another hint. But since this is a big hint, this will be my only one of the day!

Keep in mind that we have told you that we are not doing any remodeling. I don't want you all guessing in the wrong direction and getting sidetracked.

Here is your hint.

When all is said and done and the project has come to an end, a couple of DISers will find they are too busy to post on the DIS for a little while.

10/31/06 10:21 am

There will be quite a few others that will be quite happy themselves, but may not find themselves with little time on their hands for the DIS.

10/31/06 10:27 am

I'm sure you will have ample time to participate even if you do have another job to attend to. The time frame involved will be structured to give everyone more than enough time to "make it work".

10/31/06 7:10 pm

Here is your last hint of the night!

Ter - Moo’s response

How about this:

Sea
Kaye
See's
Signature
= See Casey's (or K.C.'s) Signature

C. Thomas Howell
Hidden Mickey Mouse/MM
Check
=See hidden checkmark?

ARRRGGGHHH!

10/31/06 7:33 pm

That almost makes it sound like we have a hidden clue in someone named casey's signature

10/31/06 7:59

It's safe to go for the night, suwoogie. You won't miss anything. I was just testing everyone with clues to get an idea of how fast and how creative of thinkers you guys will be for the secret project. I have to admit, you guys impressed me and I'm looking forward to it even more!

10/31/06 8:50 pm

In my job you have to be a planner.

 

[Aimee K]

11/01/06 6:30 am

Okay friends, I'm going to go ahead and post my clue for the day before I leave. Don't want you all to have to wait until I have a chance to return. I suppose I was mean enough last night with my test on your creative thinking abilities.

Here is your clue for today!

11/01/06 6:50 am

Yes, Ty, but if you subtract 3 from 24 and then divide it by 3, what do you get?

11/01/06 6:48 PM

Good evening DISers!

Wow. I spend the day in meetings and find I have over 50 pages to catch up on!

I haven't read anything. How is your progress? Did the clue I gave you this morning help any?

I have good news. We have jumped the biggest hurdle in the announcement. We just have a few more things to do and we will be ready to tell everything! Hopefully by the end of the week, but please keep in mind that we can only work but so fast so we might see a delay.

In the meantime, I will have plenty of clues to send your way, as I am sure Ty will as well. All this creative thinking is good for you. You will be in prime shape for the project when it starts!

Carry on!

11/02/06 8:11 am

Thank you for giving me the scoop on the Tommy Lee connection. That man does try to get himself into everything. Although I do see the connection now.

I am off to a day of meetings and planning. We are progressing by leaps and bounds and I do have to say that the tech team on the DIS is making everything even better than our expectations!

Everyone make it work today!

11/02/06 6:42 pm

We are waiting for verification that our timeline is acceptable and then we will let you know. We may be announcing this in a most unusual way if all works out well.

 

[Aimee K]

11/03/06 7:33am

Here is my picture clue for you today. Hope this is one is easy for you. I think it is

11/03/06 8:04 am

I can assure you, there WILL be some type of "virtual construction" going on once the project begins!

11/03/06 7:59

Okay my friends.. here is your next clue!

10/03/06 8:11 pm

Here is a clue for you then.. sometimes you have to look beyond the obvious and see bits and pieces of the puzzle

 

[Aimee K]

11/04/06 6:24

Here is my clue for today!

 

[Aimee K]

11/05/06 7:44 am

That's weird. I go away for ten minutes and my picture disappeared. Odd.

That's okay, I can give you another version. Here you go

11/05/06 9:00 am

Interesting theories.

I see some good guesses in there. Some on the money. Some that are on the right track but stayed on the train too long and missed their station. And some that are traveling in completely the wrong direction.

9:15

Track won majority in the first seven! I thought for sure you would pick a project clue.

Okay, this picture should give a clue to ONE of the posters who is on the wrong track and needs to change trains.

9:21

I will say something else about Doodlebug's other theories other than the Disney Adventures one. Doodlebugs was also one of the people that were on the right track, but stayed on the train too long - so some of what they have been guessing has been right

9:22

I've seen one or two tags that do have something to do with the project, but for the most part, they don't.

9:24

No, I confirmed that as of right now, Disney Adventures does not play into the project. Sorry if I worded that in a confusing manner.

9:34

I'll give you one more picture clue to a poster's name who had a lot of truth in one of their theories.. but stayed on the train a bit too long before I have to go
