just curious... why would december 10th be good?
and where are the numbers on the cube? I don't see em.
and should we bid on the cube even though it says it's "wanted"? I take that to mean that the "seller" doesn't really have it.
and it looks like the picture in the corner is a camera icon. Smile

december 10th would be good because that's when the auction ends.
i don't really see the numbers either, are you referring to the 'scratches' on the cube picture Seej?
EDIT: oh wait, i see them, very faintly along the bottom (inside) of the triangle of the front face of the cube. i'm a little cynical though, would be all too easy for this to be just anyone putting this up on Ebay.

i'm thinking its a prank or something, i mean. it just doesn't seem like...well like it would be part of the game. i mean even the name-perplexedsente-seems a little eh.

but whatever. suppose it is, that would make me feel stupid

I certainly hope someone in London is bidding on this, since

Now, since the project should start at the beginning of next year, this might just be the final phase of the pre-game (but I thought the project was done...!).

F.O.R.

steg coming up negative.

although the image looks odd to me, either its generic and ive seen it before, thus making it a hoax, or theres something not quite right about it.

why is it called: 55_1_b ? hmm interesting.

dam browser making me double post Rolling Eyes

so far, it looks hoax-ish to me.

but you never know

editedit: seems to be the name ebay gives its products, nothing special.

I'll also assume this is unrelated, right? Even if I found it by searching Syzygy on ebay?

As I said to someone yesterday, if this EBay thing is in-game then I shall shave off all my body hair, sandwich them between two slices of malted loaf, apply an even layer of mayonaise, and consume with vigour. They have nipped out to the supermarket to purchase the Hovis, but I still stand by my words Wink
