About digging in Central Park - first, Central Park is huge although only parts of it are actually "arboreal", second, I don't see anyone burying something there and expecting no one to notice them.

I don't know if we will be getting anymore clues, depends on how much longer this drags on before someone finds the Cube maybe.

I think we need to solve the card Meta-puzzles, although I know that people have been trying without much success so far.

Perhaps Mind Candy and the CRT have completed their list of alterations to the cards so we can compare it with ours? I don't think we missed anything, but we don't have the original, unaltered source for comparison purposes so it is possible we did.

Also, I recall the original receda revenge had a picture of a wooded lane in it, at the time I thought it was a located in PPC. Maybe that is a clue to where the Cube is located so that if someone gets close they will know? It seems to me that the answer of where the cube is would have to be some GPS coordinates.

Good luck everyone.

Can we make somewhere a list of the clues we have of the cube's location, as well as possible clues. What I believe we have so far:

CLUES:
---------
* Somewhere on Earth (so no space travel for us)
* Buried in the ground (luckily, ruling out over 2/3 of Earth's surface)

POSSIBLE CLUES:
----------------------
* From our good friend Combed Thunderclap:
---* From the first animation:
------* CT brought the cube to Earth.
------* CT landed in a city with "yellow cabs", which is described as an urban area
------* It has been speculated that this city is New York
---* From the second animation:
------* The final screen of this features 5 ivy leaves. People have realised that Cornell university is the fifth university to join the Ivy League, as well as being in New York
---* From the third animation:
------* The phone booths where CT landed are physically booths
------* The woman speaking in the animation has a british accent, prompting some to say that the city that CT landed in is not New York. However, NYC is an assimilation of many cultures, so this doesn't rule out NY as CT's landing point.
---* From the fourth animation:
------* This is the clue that lead to Receda's Revenge 2
------* Basically, all that was gotten from this was the clue "tree", prompting some to consider Central Park a possible location

CLUES STILL TO BE DECIEFERED:
---------------------------------------
* The strange symbols on the latest wave of cards
* And the numbers too
---* And whether the numbers relate to Risk, and how
---* And how Risk will help us find the cube
* Whether the "Billion to One" man will lead to more info on the cube
* Whether solving Shuffled or 13th Labor will lead to more info on the cube
---* Chances are that Shuffled probably will not, as it focuses more on the plot relating to the mysterious Djinn virus.

I wonder if yellow taxis are prevalent elsewhere? (google keeps bringing up 'big yellow taxi')

I'm sure there are lots of cities around the world that have yellow cabs - Istanbul for one is full of them.

In the uk there are yellow taxis in Hartlepool, Swansea, Newark and Lincoln and probably several others. Admittedly not as famous as New York taxis, but that shuldn't discount them.

3p_not_agent message

Hi all,

I don't know if anyone's still seriously considering 3p_not_agent as an important figure, but...

The Receda's Revenge chat is still open. Zeke was online when I logged in a couple of hours ago. Just now, I saw that Zeke was logged out and there was a message from 3p_not_agent:

Bcgvba 4) Abar bs gur nobir.

ROT13ed:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Option 4) None of the above.


I don't know what this is in reference to.

Anyway, in classic Superman style, I propose that Zeke is 3p_not_agent!!

How much do we really know about Zeke? Is there any evidence of his existence on Earth before the cube theft? School records, social security number, anything like that? IS HE THE ONE IN A BILLION? These are questions that must be answered.

Is option4 in relation to this:

Quote:
Based on these I think there are 3 possible explanations:

1. 3p Agent, is actually one of us trying to be funny, pretending to be a 3p agent. This is based on the number of comments that are generally just game play type chat.

2. 3P Agent it a member of 3P cleverly pretending to be one of use pretending to be a 3p operative, to either feed us false info, or to get info to other 3p operatives who may be watching the game. Based on the fact the game ply type comments aren't very funny or original.

3. 3p agent is actually one of is, however the username was hijacked at points by a real 3p operative to send messages to other 3p operatives watching the game.

May Have Found Something

I have found something. It's probably not really a clue, but may be.

THE STORY:
Using the awesome Perplex City Map, I made an image of the path used in RR2 compared to RR1. I then configured it to show my only the paths shared by both games, and the paths used only in one game or the other. While the common trail one had nothing interesting, take a look at the picture for only 1 game (RR1 only in blue, RR2 only in green):



It appears like they may be letters:

In Blue: [E/W/M], [I/l (lowercase L)], The part in the middle is hard to interpret, but I see either [(L and R)/(U and N)/(U and Z)/(I, J, and E)/(L, J, and E)], and the three dots, which could be [(! and .)/(: and.)/(three dots)].

In Green: [Y/hebrew tzadik/L and L] and [I/l]

Code:
POSSIBLE SETS:
(Note: One set from each line is used)
BLUE
|   E   |   W   |   M   |
|   I   |   L   |
|  L R  |  U N  |  U Z  | I J E | L J E |
|  ! .  |  : .  | . . . |

GREEN
|   Y   | tzadik|  L L  |
|   I   |   L   |



Probably nothing, but very confusing, and could contain some additional info, as it seems that all we got from RR2 was "tree".

Thoughts, anyone?

when I look at that the blue looks like it spells CUBE to me...there's a couple of lines missing though.

You may have something, as although the routes were determined by "freewill" the promts, and options, may well have driven the route more strictly.

Hey guys, Zeke is my friend. Just to let you know...I called him up the morning of RR2 and told him to get online and play with us. He did and well....he forgets to reply and close windows a lot. He stayed in that room for a long time, as so did I. I worked and I just left it on. Just thought I should let you guys know before you drag people in the wrong direction. So just to clarify....Zeke has nothing to do with anything. He doesn't even play Perplex City, I was the one who dragged him into RR2. Sorry.

No-one would think of putting it there! It's the classic "last place anyone would look"!
