The Chat

Then I can rest (and sleep) easy knowing that I won't miss anything if I take a three and a half day break from Internet life. (Which is doubtful to happen anyway.)

The live thing definitely sounds interesting, too bad we're too good at puzzles to see it though.

[draghkar]

A puzzle trail eh? This is going to be interesting.

I have had no word from michael yet, so I will send him another email later. Maybe he can give me some insight on wqhat is about to come.

He was going to break into the office after all.

Hope that we will get some answers.

Greetz,

D.

got an email from michael:

I am going to make the assumption here that the things that we are going to be shown are going to be self-sustaining. Basically that means that each of the puzzles will hold the key to solving them. Whether or not they will be simple? We'll find out tomorrow. However, something tells me that these will be things that we haven't seen before and will thus not know what to do with them at first.

We have 48 hours to crack each one. So, as soon as someone sees it, load it here ASAP.

I think #karma is still open, so we'll meet there starting tomorrow to talk about the puzzles as they are shown to us. 2 heads are better then one, I say.

I have tomorrow off so I'll be able to help work on the first one right from the get go.

I pray for an exploding head puzzle. My brain hasn't had a work out in quite some time now.

First puzzle is up, and it appears to be a toughie.

The letters appear to be Greek. Combining them does nothing. However, viewing the letters as a "Substitution', one could look at it as "Google".

I'm thinking that it has something to do with Holidays (maybe a Greek Holiday?) because the dove with the rose would be Valentine's Day and the clovers would be St. Patricks Day. Is there a Greek Holiday (or any) between those two? The reason being is because the letters are located between the two pictures.

The only Greek holiday that I can see that falls inbetween those two holidays is:

Hi everybody.

I wonder, why is there a planetree maple leaf under the clover? Is that also a clue to Sant Patrick's day? Maybe a red herring, but who knows?

If we take the text between both parts of the pictures literally (given it means Google), this leads us to the following two sources for the parts of the image:

Dove and Rose:
http://www.jesuits.ca/justicecr/Peace2003/Peace2003/
This is not accessible, but the originating URL points us to the Jesuits of Canada, specifically to the Jesuit Centre for Social Faith and Justice.

Clovers:
http://carol.gimp.org/writing/index1.html
This is a page containing several fictional stories.


However, a connection between these I haven't found, yet.

Greetings.

hiya predator,

which addies are you referring to?

So far we have about 4 or 5 addies

Andy has 2
michael has 1
Vincent has 1

We dont have the addies for:
Matthew
The dude from gunsport inc

But i am not sure if the latter is IG

All of them are in the thread and on how they were found as well.

Please tell me which ones you have questions about.

Greetz,

Draghkar.

[ItWasntMeISwear]

Well, since the first puzzle hasn't even been solved, I don't think this game will last much longer. I have no clue what the answer may be and I just received an e-mail from Vincent telling me that the answer that I thought it was was wrong.

Any thoughts? Or are we so completely stumped by this one that Andy is going to die?
