If anyone plays Anarchy-online, Turing Principle is at Rimor online for the next 65 minutes. He is giving encrypted messages (they have been in ROT so far).
He may be there under the name of tap tap.
There are people in #ctw and #smalldene chat solutions to help. The latter is in game.

[EMAIL/PUZZLE Trail] Mystes: What Has Been Promised (Sept 2)

enaxor@forums.unfiction.com — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 00:49:09 +0000

What Has Been Promised
"And so the Syzygies emanated from the Eternal One. The three who are six complete the One."

I have named them, these divine pairs - nous and epinoia, phone and onoma, logismos and enthumesis. Find the place where I have transcribed these names to find what has been promised you.

[PUZZLE?] Roman's Images from Pages/Book

kimer@forums.unfiction.com — Sat, 02 Sep 2006 16:39:55 +0000

Since this appears to be a puzzle, I am going to combine all the images and post them here. But since there are many images, I will break up my post to make it easier to read.

First here is the image that Roman added to the Fan Art on Dale's journal and the one like it from Roman Bern's site.
The url's are:
Aglaura Pine submitted by Roman
Barren Soul cover page
Second are the images of the intro page and the background on http://www.barrensoul.com

[Edit - Sorry people, but it is hard to get the images back in the original order since the hack, so i'm doing the best I can]

[SOLVED] Barren Soul Pgs 7&8

kimer@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 19:37:45 +0000

At the bottom of Page 8 it says

The creatures of the Barrens aren't too hard to find, if you know what you are looking for. If you can find a fresh, dark print, and follow the right ones when you see them, you can find many of the Pines secrets.

If you overlay Page 7 & 8....The dark footprints on Page 7 are directly over letters on Page 8 that anagram to 'I Remember'

[EMAIL-PUZZLE] Mystes - Your Failure

Rogi Ocnorb@forums.unfiction.com — Sat, 26 Aug 2006 07:32:30 +0000

The face of man hides the flaws he wants others to never know. He can't begin his days with them exposed to the world. One mask is not enough; the average man wears many.

With only the world as his witness, he stands alone in this real conviction, truth does indeed matter, yet fails every opportunity which he surely could employ to make others believe as well.

Yet man can be both maker or follower, model or source, healer or destroyer. This universe begins and concludes with man's imprint. He is the reason this world exists, and he is the answer for every question. Perfect by nature, his flaws his fate decide.

Those who have both desire and knowledge shall proceed.

In the differences the message lies,
the answer's hidden before your eyes.

[PUZZLE?] Hollow Needles Icons

Rogi Ocnorb@forums.unfiction.com — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 05:51:09 +0000

The printing block, backwards 'S' on The Hollow Needle , makes one look closer at the icons on the top of the page.

The question mark, viewed in reverse, or in a mirror, could be the letter C and it's dot, an O.
The envelope on it's side, looks like an M
The "*? (mail to envelope)" at the end of the line of icons, suggests .COM
Maybe it would lead to Phyllis' blog?
Below are letters that the icons may represent in different orientations.

BOOK.....CHAIR......VASE.....SPOONS....BOX.......CAMEL....LOCK
I ............. R .......... O........... M .............O ...........N.......... D
L .............A ...........C............ W ............I ............Y ......... E
C ............M.............S.............E............ H.............U..........V
dash........OE............B.......................... T.............H.........OD
...............EA............I............................IO......................ED
..............OM...........U............................TO.....................UO
...............MO...........8.............................OT....................OU
..............ODE

The printing block "S" , itself, may be used, and the large doll with the partial ring may also be an O or a P.

Can you see other letters the icons may represent?
Can anyone make a url outta that?

[EMAIL/PUZZLE] Mystes - This World - 8/8

Sylvia@forums.unfiction.com — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 21:43:14 +0000

Got this email:

Having with me therefore this fair book, I did nothing else day nor night, but study upon it, understanding very well all the operations that it showed, but not knowing with what matter I should begin, which made me very heavy and solitary, and caused me to fetch many a sigh. My wife Perrenella, whom I loved as myself, and had lately married was much astonished at this, comforting me, and earnestly demanding, if she could by any means deliver me from this trouble.

I just received this:

Kheperi - Re - Atum

Above the height of ten men, a face of stone looks eastward towards the mighty source of life.

Those who have both desire and knowledge shall proceed.

The original email:

Greetings,

Perhaps this will prove the knowledge I seek.

Khepri (Khepera) is the scarab headed god personified by the rising sun and was the god of transformation. His name means beetle and "he who becomes" because it was believed that beetles renewed themselves (they arise from their own substance and are reborn of themselves).
