I've got a source in Team 7200 that tells me some "sensitive" information may be getting released this saturday during a charity streaming event. This information will be released at around 6:30PM GMT at http://www.twitch.tv/team7200
Even if you don't believe me, please check this event out because it's for a great cause:

http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/groups/TeamCharity

Please come and watch the streams, even if you're unable to contribute monetarily. More viewers help! Some channels may even accept steam game donations for giveaways during the stream (team 7200 will be doing this so if you have any games you'd like to give away I'd suggest contacting ck0101)

Let's get out there and show support for these charities while also possibly benefitting ourselves!

See you guys there! <3 :)

I don't necessarily think the masks themselves have anything to do with the secret (since they're limited time only - would be much wiser from a business perspective to have the secret accessible for a long time. But I do think that the halloween event has some fun things in it that may or may not be related to the secret - for example, the safehouse nightmare heist when the random "factor" is having all the meth suit "civilians" run into the metal detector and disappear.... wtf is that all about??
sorry, pretty drunk and probalby a lot of typo's but if I remember i'll look over thi s again tomorrow

On page 38 of the Guide of Bain (the appendix for rats day 3). There is a blueprint of the Washington Justice Bridge and an image of the bridge with traffic on overlayed. The image has the bus with the Mendoza cartel zoomed in 'Zoom x 3'.

What I noticed is that the info on that overlayed image of the bridge from above says:

ReconImage: 1234145
Serial: 54566554456

GGASDFGLHF
ELECTRIC CENTER
IS WATCHING

Does electric center fit in to this context?

I also thought maybe you could open the deposit boxes in the order GGASDFGLHF from the first line of letters. However I realised the letters 'ASDFG' are next to each other on the keyboard, so it might not be significant.

I can't remember this being mentioned before, and along with the mask in the guide having the electric center pattern, I thought it was worth putting down.

I don't think I've seen this info posted before, so good find. Electric Center is an infamous mask pattern, and something bain references at least one time in the webseries. But I have no idea what electric center might refer to outside of that

The birthday image used that exact cake didn't it? The cake pictured in 4 stores!?
Edit: I see i missed the post directly above me. That seems to map up way to oconincidentally. I barely ever play 4 stores so will have to go back and play some more
Edit 2: Where did you find that second cake (not circular one). Might I just be missing it in birthday image?

the 2nd cake is in the food display case

Umadbrah brought up the cakes in the top left of the picture and I noticed that if you look at only those 6 slices (cropped it in the picture to show the 6 I mean), it looks to be a rough map of 4 stores. The 3 red "8" looking spots might indicate the entrances to Time Out!, Twentyfourseven, and Kung Bo - no entrance for the pear store is depicted. You can even make out where the alleys next to the stores are and everything seems to line up almost according to the in game map. Then we have the birthday cake from payday 2 birthday site, it looks very similar to the cake pictured in the Time Out! store, with a few modifications such as whipped cream on the outside and cherries on top. I drew lines from the cakes to places they also seem to appear - on the menu in Time Out! you can see the image of the 2 cakes side by side, and the whiter cake with the "map" on it is in the food display case in the store, I believe. probably nothing, but what else do we really have right now

The blueprints are there because it's a picture of the table from the basement of the safehouse. You'll notice the map of DC is right behind them as well. Could it mean that it's about harvest&trustee? Of course, but we can't make assumptions like that - those things could just be there to show they're in the safehouse celebrating

http://overkillsoftware.com/birthday/ was just posted today on their facebook site - pic may be worth looking at?
Also 2 more pieces of "info" to be realesed tomorrow and on Friday.

If you didn't nit-pick, I would have. :) It's definitely casing mode, as in, "let's case the bank before we rob it." Also, I believe this meaning of case is considered slang.

*EDIT* I'm definitely interested in the possibility of having a player in casing mode on day 3 of firestarter walk into the burning money and go down. I assume the player would go into custody as that's the normal mechanic for such a thing, but it would certainly be odd with no cops present. Now I have to try this.

*EDIT 2* This would certainly be a challenging thing to do, especially if the job was pro. There may also be additional pieces to this one as well, such as also opening certain deposit boxes and/or doing something with a bag of gold from the boxes, per other bain guide pictures.

And so it begins....

PS: Sorry about the "Chasing Mode", its not a position people stay in while playing. So yes, Case Mode.

I promise it wasn't an attempt to discredit you or anything you've said, I just wanted to avoid any confusion in the future :)

I'm not trying to be 'nit-picky' but I believe it's Case/Casing mode, and not Chase mode

Well, the one I noticed in his office today is nor one of the ones from the gallery, it is small, rectuangular, peculiar one.

This is also correct. The greyscale painting of the bridge in the senator's office is not found in the gallery, yet it's one of the paintings that has a camera in it.
