 		ummm just for laughs has anyone tried looking for a watermark? because if the image was scanned they could have enbedded a watermark onto one of the blank white parts in the picture. I would have done this myself but my computer decided not to work this morning so i have to use my old computer Sad

 		tried that already... but only briefly. I can do a more in depth check... but I'm fairly sure there's nothing more to it

 		Here is something
Hi, I'm a German who currently studies in the UK. I've been lurking since the Guardian ad, and finally found something to share with you:

Been doing some search on the Logic Cube and found this:
http://dgleahy.com/
Two numbers stand out:
82944 (triple logic cube)
2304
I'm not really sure what this is, seems to have something to do with the number of sides of the cubes, will try and do more research, but wanted to give you something to work on as well.

Some other thoughts:
"Initium querere sapientiae [est]"
To seek is the beginning of knowledge (or wisdom)
This game is not just about finding clues and solving puzzles strictly related to itself, even more important is to improve your own knowledge...
So I had the idea of probably creating another thread called 'Unrelated Findings', where you can post anything interesting you've found on your way.

Remember that picture of a wormhole? - Alice's rabbithole...

Taversen: I'm pretty sure no German word Taversen exists. However, when you do a google search, many German websites mention it, all misspellings? It's really called Traversen and can mean many things, in these cases seem to be the metal scuffolding where you hang the stage ligths and the like on, think they're called rigs in English. Don't know if that's of any importance.

I've read the interview with Mr. Hon and can't help but think there's a commercial idea behind it... A lot of money has been spent so far, to me it seems like a viral marketing thingy, that would also fit in with the ad in Marketing Week. Anyway, I don't care anymore, I'm hooked.

Passing the ball to you now!

 		[Introduction] Hello!
Just dropping a note to say hi.

M (above post) and I kind of come in a package. We've been working as a team (along with a few others).

We've discovered independently essential the same information that is contained in this forum, so I won't pretend to post anything new.

[spec] Although, I'm fairly convinced that The Perplex City Academy is sort of an MI6 or CIA for other worlds. Everything they do seems to be according to protocol, and there is surely an intense beuracracy in their system.

I'm not sure why you all trust Sente though. If the head of the CIA or MI6(5) were to ask me to recover something of extreme value, I would wonder first who took it and why? Perhaps Sente is preparing to act with ill will towards our reality, or towards London, and it should be our job to stop his progress. [/spec]

Either way, I've also lurked here since the Guardian and have worked independent of this board and am quite hooked! I'm in the US too, on the East Coast, so I hope that some of the location clues come over here.

By the way. What is to prevent someone who is not working with the PM's to plant misinformation and red herrings?

The Sarah Covington oriental jewlery is a pretty interesting cooincidence, no?

over and out.

There's nothing to actually prevent this happening, and as ARGs become more popular you'll find there's some people who are sad enough to use this. However if it does happen, then we'll pick up on it soon enough and if it becomes a problem the PMs will find a way to let us know.

I seriously don't know what you'd get from this at all. I think that's just taking things a little too far in what will be useful currently with the limited information we have.

 		Regarding S Marchant
Okay, working off some basic assumptions... I haven't seen too much definitive in the way of S. Marchant. So, I direct you all to this for an assesment:

http://www.dartmoor-crosses.org.uk/marchant's.htm

Quote:
There was also a theory that this cross was the 'Smalacumbacrosse', one of six crosses used to mark the boundary of the lands donated to Buckland Abbey by Amicia, Countess of Baldwin de Redvers, Earl of Devon. (Further details of this can be found on the page for the Yennadon Cross). However, Richard Hansford Worth, in the paper entitled 'Transactions of the Devonshire Association' for 1942, refuted this suggestion. His research led him to the conclusion that the boundary laid down in the deeds would have been at the head of the Smallacombe Lake, almost a mile to the East.

Legend has it that the cross also marks the grave of a suicide. Whilst there is no evidence to support this, it is feasible in that suicides used to be buried away from the centre of the village and often at a crossroads, in order that their spirits become confused as to the direction they should take.

William Crossing recorded the tradition that suggested the cross was in use as a boundary stone, before being brought into service as a waymarker. He also wrote that travellers used to kneel before the cross to pray for a safe journey, before setting out across the moor.


Could the "S" stand for "Smalacumbacrosse", and could there be a larger significance behind the legend associated with the cross and the in-game story? Is the suicide relevant? Could the 148 AC be a relevant map clue using GPS, or refer to a map grid itself?

 		It is perfectly clear to me that "S." stands for none other than "Sméagol". Can't you see it:

- We must hold it.
- We must have it in our bare handssssss.
- We wantss the precioussssssss.

?

Embarassed ummm yea, sry. this is kinda my first ARG and i think im a little too excited....


ps. you can learn alot about a person from a persons handwriting:

"It [handwriting analyses] is a projective technique like body language which can profile human behavior in the areas of social skills, thinking styles, achievement/work habits, and possible ways of dealing with stress."

I can't remember where, but I thought at some point in my search that I found that it was a term for "Tavern/Pub". But I remember dinstinctly only finding that information on one or two German sites, and I may have only inferred what it meant by the way it was used.

 		"taversen" is definitely no german word.

also, the number "82944" is not part of e. at least not of the first, oh, couple of hundred digits, like the other numbers were.
