[UPDATE] Qu13e web site chngs after dec. 13th

on dec. 13th the qu13e.com site
changed back to "the gate"
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/files/daimondai_566.jpg

and then later that day many of us received an email:

www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/wherethequ13egins


obviously pointing us to here:
http://www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/wherethequ13egins.html
(click along the base of this image and you go here:
http://www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/solitairea/inthedarkandthrough.html


this led to the pop up boxes which contain messages from a pregame note:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

if you highlight the page you'll find the words
[ ideaD | He, Me, Too | Hear, Me, Through ]
click on those and you get:

the rules of Etique13ette
KAMIKIRE: 1. Beware numbers. Count onlies. (ideaD)
KAMIDETEWOKIRU: 2+10=10+2= double vision
Look the other way. (He, Me, Too)
KAMIBASIMI: 3. Mind your peace and qu13es (Hear, Me, Through)

if you continue to highlight down the page you'll find the word "continqu13e"
click on it and you'll get the next page:

http://www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/solitairea/despairadoxic.html
players discovered binary in the source and image and that
led us to:
http://www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/solitairea/despairadox.html
(the above is random's note)

and the letters in random's note led to this:
http://www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/solitairea/panicht.html#

(if you need more info on the above, it is discussed on the trailhead thread)
here: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12969&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=375

EDIT: WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THE "PANICHT" PAGE
http://www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/solitairea/panicht.html#

EDIT: okay so today (dec. 16th) if you go to http://qu13e.com/
and click on the "note" image it will take you to:
http://qu13e.com/mr.espot/proloqu13e.html
(Clockstop the Whys note)
if you click on the image of the note it gives you:
http://qu13e.com/mr.espot/thegate.html
the image is "the gate"

right now the gate requires a username and password

Ekplixi and Glecius solved this:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Well, since Glecius said that he found in the comments "Username: qu13est", I entered "Qu13est" for the username.

Clockstop still says that the key is "me", so I put down the password as "Clockstop the Whys".

It took me back to the old SOLITAIREA image about the rising sun. Since NateBlizz says it ends up being "hernameSPLATqu13e.com, I'm assuming it's mainly there for new players to catch up.

http://qu13e.com/mr.espot/thegatekeeper/solitairea.html



EDIT: thanks for the heads up Glecius... please everyone feel free to
pm me with suggestions or anything that i miss on this stuff because i'm kinda swamped with work right now... while trying to organize our qu13e world.
(i hope to get it all together over the weekend) Very Happy

You missed this one, previously stated by Axon.

http://www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/solitairea/panicht.html#

Spoiler contains HOW it was obtained

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Notice all the funny offset letters in Random's note? (Not the various tense words, just random letters.) They spell out panichthtml. Replace the despairadox with panicht

okay, i'm pretty sure this is the best place to stick this

i checked all the new images using stegdetect, and i got two definite positives and one "skipped(false positive likely)" which is the same answer i got when we found the hidden file in that other image. haven't tried to desteg yet, because i was travelin' in a car when i decided to check. just thought i'd let everyone else know, incase someone wants to try and figure 'em out.

the two definite positives are kamikire.jpg and kamibasami.jpg, and the other possibly stegged one is one of those four binary pics, the 010001100100111101010010.jpg

all the other new ones turned up negative

I ran a scan on the first 2 (the smaller images) and it came back with an error b/c they are grey scale images and not color. The xsteg needs it to have the 3 color values to pull from in order to make its determination (a guess due to my resulting error message). I colorized one of them and re-ran it, negative.

I say that, BUT I also think there is something behind the wording. At first I thought it was a simple repetition of the same text offset, but upon closer look it seems to be different. Not having sufficient knowledge on how to desteg anything properly (as "use xsteg program" isnt enough for me to go by b/c I have tried to use it, read everything I could find about it, and it still doesnt make sense) I cant say that my findings are more accurate or disprove yours at all. If anyone has experience in this and could shed some light (I mean actually explain it, not post a finished product b/c you know how) I would really like to know.


*EDIT*

Source change, of sorts, on the panicht page. The word "three" has now been capitalized both times within the source. Something very weird is going on, I'm just not sure if things are being "corrected" or whether it was intentional. Either way, it still makes no sense to me.

well, i just ran xsteg on those images again, and it came back positive on both again, so ... sorry glecius, but i think i'll trust my compy for a little while. if we don't find anything after a while, then i'll admit that you may have been right.


i just looked at those images closer, and there's definitely something behind the letters. in some spots, it's just a repeat of the letter, but in others (like behind that first B), it's a definite different letter. I'll play around in photosop some. maybe that's the password to the steg. Very Happy

Since it concerns the site I suppose this is the place for this: Around 2:10am EST my sites watching program reported the qu13e site in its completeness to be unreachable. 404s from every page. I double checked this with a few different connections and it seems accurate. Perhaps they needed some downtime to work on things?

010001100100111101010010.jpg looks like a binary-code just written artistically. Tried to make something out of it but no luck so far.

On this page the picture is called tegakari. That means "clue".

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the properties it has HIDING ALLAN WENTWORTH for keywords and WWW.QU13E.COM under comments
