 		just got this reply to my email:
Quote:
Halten Kehle
<rebirth.tenth.movie@gmail.com> to me 4:59 pm

"I want to know," says Maroo...and we oblige with a peek inside his deep within. Seems the boy's got an urge, a yen, a yearn, a want that he can't placate or even begin to understand.

"I read about the seven sins," he whispers, as if the word might summon the devil himself.

"Only seven?" we whisper in return.

"There are more?"

"Oh, Maroo. There are many, many more."

They always look so confused then, like kittens when the mouse no longer moves. Ever so delicious, and our appetite was hungry, too; but we neverminded our own to feed his instead.

A tease. "What time is it?" Of course, we already knew.

"Twenty-one past midnight."

"Ahhh...then when zero strikes, it all begins...and it all ends."

Maroo...looking perplexed. "What does?"

"Patience," we reply, preparing to amuse. "Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Clock...stop."

when the zero strikes ... 1 am?

edit: the subject of that email was Imported silence #9

Why use a gmail account all of a sudden? You sure this isn't the work of a troll?

edit: looking back, i noticed that Halten Kehle was the last part of the changed address on the email sent to labfly. used an online translater and it looks like it means "stops throat". oooo, creepy!

the Twenty-one is where we are right now on the count-down
per the source page and i think "when the zero strikes"
is referring to the end of the countdown-- which could be
at zero or it could be when we reach 13... i can't wait
to see inside this gate!! Twisted Evil

 		Hi. I've been looking at QU13E.com off and on since I saw it posted on LazyLaces, but just found this forum discussion. I'm sure I won't have much to contribute, but I thought you might want to know what it says over the picture of the gate. By the way, I googled a quote from what I'm about to type, and it came up with an old page from splinterworld.com: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22but+there%27s+so+much+more+skin+to+cut%22&btnG=Google+Search In what I'm about to type, when you see parentheses, it will indicate words on the cached google page that are missing from the gate pic. When you see italics, it will indicate words on the gate pic that are not on the cached page. Sorry for the lengthy post.

"You say you've been here before, trapped in the escape
Endured the pain while made to wait
But there's so much more skin to cut, (more) blood to bleed
Air to gasp and screams to breathe.
The beauty of the irony (your complaints) is that I've (you say you've) come too late.
So you think you know hell...! (?)
You're only half way to the gate."

Thanks, and I think you're right about the framing getting smaller. I'm pretty sure it used to be so big that I couldn't see the whole pic without scrolling.

 		yea, the photo is getting smaller. i checked the picture that i saved from when it first showed up, and it was 800x600, now it's at 600x450

got another email after i replied to the one i got:
Quote:
Suspicion poured itself upon him then, lathered him with a coat of criminality; but the perception was vague, viscous, s h a l l o w...a sinister abstraction, like wanting to scream at yourself for remembering you were trying to forget.

"How many more?"

"Patience," we reply again, and certainly amused. "Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Clock...stop."

I'M ONLY DOING WHAT I'M TOLD. I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

the itallic part was whited out

also, the send "to" address wasn't mine, but saintless.splintersSPLATgmail.com

However it may have happened, it seems that one is no longer among us. Everything that he stood for has vanished. Long was he been our leader. Long was he been our friend. Presumably, he has gone on to a better place. Although it seems that I may never know now. Needless to say, these will be difficult times for all of us. Some have already decided to leave us, and I am having a difficult time myself. No one has taken this harder than myself. Since the beginning, he was my friend, and I was grateful for it.

hmmm, that's wierd. that whole thing is the email that i sent/received, but you got it from a different address. i italicized the parts that were mine. i added the "WHEN DO THE GATES OPEN" to the first message when i replied to it and whited them out. I wonder why they would choose to send you that message?

so either all the gmail accounts are fakes, or they're all related.

just a little list of the email addys we'e seen so far:
qu13e@qu13e.com
Mr.EspotSPLATqu13e.com
the_splinterbitchSPLATsplinterworld.com
random_martin@splinterworld.com
rauchen.spiegelSPLAThaltenkehle.com
qkt@qu13e.com
qu13estionsSPLATqu13e.com
rebirth.tenth.movieSPLATgmail.com
saintless.splintersSPLATgmail.com

i struck out all the ones that i could find that didn't work anymore

oh, and seetheskyturnredSPLATgmail.com is my address ... just so ya don't go trying to send me some secret codes hoping i'm a PM or anything Very Happy

 		I don't see it, but i'd guess that it's just that statcounter thingy, since that's the only link I can see in the page's sourcecode, and the image is only 1x1 pixels

<!-- 2453705.45325-23 -->
<!-- 334-22 -->
<!-- 7 * 3 -->
