I hope I'm not out of line here... I know how we got to http://www.myzterious.com but I have no clue how you got the rest of the pages. The quige isn't being updated {it seems}, and I'm really a bit lost here. Could we have some form of linear A leads to B {and spoilers as to how/why perhaps?}

Thank you kindly.

Ya sure, sorry if it was confusing.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The digits page had a reference to Colma, CA in the page source, so I tried colma in place of digits and it gave the new page

http://www.myzterious.com/colma.html

The source on this page said page2.htm, this led me to

http://www.myzterious.com/page2.htm

Clicking the bug on this page leads to


http://www.myzterious.com/darkplaces.html

By looking at the source of this page drizjr found

http://www.myzterious.com/winchesterhouse.html

Good find!


Hope that clears it up!

Well, of those couple, yes. Smile However, actually, I was hoping from the first page... how did we get from myzterious.com to .com/welcome and so on... If for nothing else, not just for my sake, but as new people jump on board, it's nice to see a linear path. Smile thank you!!!

hopefully a comprehensive list of urls and how we got to them.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.myzterious.com/ [credit here goes to Maxsteel for solving the knot.html that brought us here] click light switch and it brings you here..

http://www.myzterious.com/myhouse.html which has 8 links in the windows and doors links are as follows
http://www.myzterious.com/welcome.html
http://www.myzterious.com/tinab.html
http://www.myzterious.com/hateandlove.html
http://www.myzterious.com/digits.html
http://www.myzterious.com/hiddenthings.html
http://www.myzterious.com/myemotions.html
http://www.myzterious.com/darkthings.html
http://www.myzterious.com/args.html

welcome.html no links here but remeber the clues, back to that in a minute.

tinab.html no links found here ethier

hateandlove.html heres the list of links found by clicking on certain words
http://www.flypower.com/
http://www.monkeytravel.org/
http://www.geocities.com/vertigo9312000/
http://freespace.virgin.net/paul.charlton1/home.htm
http://www.microsoft.com/
http://www.evethenovel.com/
http://www.roadsideamerica.com/vortex.html
http://members.iconn.net/%7Ephantom/ginger.htm
these all appear to be very OOG.

hiddenthings.html no links found

myemotions.html no links found

darkthings.html click on the mummy that runs across the screen and you get an equation with red and black numbers. take all the black numbers and you get a phone number 201-490-9507 which is scaryclowns voicemail
he asks you to leave your number and he will call you back (leave your phone number with a suspected kidnapper at your own risk).

args.html no links here

digits.html links to
http://www.fearofclowns.net/ &
http://www.earthbounddog.com/
two more OOG sites. now if you hover your mouse over the red square you should get this text "co outlawed burials in 1901, neighboring Colma quickly became the world's only incorporated city where the dead outnumber the living........thirteen hundred to one! ". (i can't confirm this myself because it dosn't work in FF.)
from this omegagriffen found

http://www.myzterious.com/colma.html now remeber "a star will light the way" from welcome.html well there should be a clickable star somewhere that takes you to...

http://www.myzterious.com/page2.htm not much here but a clickable cockroach that will bring you..

http://www.myzterious.com/darkplaces.html ("places or things" or darkplaces/things) this is the Winchester Mystery House no fancy clickable links here but using a little logic drizjr found..

http://www.myzterious.com/winchesterhouse.html that's where were at now. UPDATE: (taken from the Kjartan's post on the next page:D Apparently justlurking discovered three new winchester house pics...
Add a "2" to the winchesterhouse.html and it takes you here...

http://www.myzterious.com/winchesterhouse2.html
On this page you'll notice the "Door to nowhere" which leads to...

http://www.myzterious.com/nowhere.html
Now here you see a weathervain on the roof this takes you to the next page...

http://www.myzterious.com/vane.html
and this is where we are at now. but i'm betting theres more to be found on this trail.



almost forgot my one contribution to
http://www.myzterious.com/knots.html theres no links to this page that i know of it was just an educated guess, kythen & satyr found takeing the first letters from the names of the people kidnapped on the dates of the stamps spells crawlspace which leads to....

http://www.myzterious.com/crawlspace.html


thats all right now i think if i left anything out let me know.
i know all this info is scatterd about i just wanted to put it all together along with the logic that brought us to each page so nobody feels lost if they miss something. Very Happy

I thank you delusional and omegagriffen for a coherent trail. You did a great job and I thank you very much.

Is it possible to update the threads on the menu? I mean there are {puzzle} threads that have been solved but dont show as {solved}. I can't tell you how important that is in following a trail. And at the risk of becoming the resident curmudgeon who irritates everyone (what the hell, someone's gotta do it) could you preface your posts with a little background information? Not everyone is in chat and those who aren't can't follow yer (puzzle pirates lingo) train of thought without some background. I know there's a rush to post but it means nothing if yer trail can't be followed...so write the novel of the game...please.

Wait... I thought that was me, Dash? Can we share the job? We seem to be doing the same type of thing {requesting wise}...

Anyway, I fully agree with Dash on updating thread titles, and giveing much details and what not. I also want to thank everyone for being so agreeable!!!

[EDIT]Now you really have the job, Dash![/EDIT]

The image in www.myzterious.com/welcome.html is a photoshoped photo by Ingvald kaldhussæter of a house in the Borgund Museum, Aalesund, Norway.
I don't know what the sign says in English.
The image file can be found at:

White side of house

On
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.myzterious.com/crawlspace.html
there is a *very* white area of the house. We've seen a message hidden in a black space with the reddoor puzzle. Could there be something hidden in that white area?

http://www.myzterious.com/winchesterhouse.html Deffinately altered look at the reflections! The way they distort and then dissappear from one window to another. Also the reflection at the top windows is a completely different place than the main one.

since cityofdomes is FUBAR i find myself desperately trying to catch up with argtalk, anyways, it was mentioned that the chimney in the picture at http://www.myzterious.com/winchesterhouse.html is photoshopped in, this has to be true b/c the chimney at the winchester house doesn't reach the ceiling.

Quote:
A chimney ascends four floors yet stops a foot and a half from the roof, rendering it useless.
this was found at http://www.travellady.com/Issues/March05/1300WinchesterMysteryHouse.htm

anyways, if someone wants to learn me about this game and help me catch up, that would be awesome,,,ive tried my best by reading posts and the trail that max set up, but some things are still pretty unclear.
