Good work mate,

After 'fortunetelling' there appears to be a 10(?) in brackets, any idea on that?

Speculation

I think I know were we should look

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think the YOU -plus the line underneath is indicative of youtube


Just an idea

This will just be for the number of letters.

EDIT:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
and my view would be it's pointing us to divination.com

N>B I don't think we were supposed to find this yet...

EDIT2: as the above address diverts to a tarot site, and it looks well established, I guess I've missed sthg...Doh missed the answer for 2, but don't think it's as posted above.

Hey, guys, I'm not seeing anything Gemini-related - all I see right now (and that looks like it doesn't belong there) is an empty subdirectory called "evasimages" . . .

Good work mate,

that one im still trying to figure out. im going to count every 10 letters and a few other things between calls.

you tube? maybe. randome letters and numbers would fit their id system, but... good luck making it.

on teh ten. this is a handwritten version of an ad. the ten may be as simple as saying that the slogan is supposed to be in 10 point font or something similar. (and thus a red herring)

alidsair is right. card, chess checker. games. chalk is the different one. now, to figure out how they go together.

Macavity, it's def in there, link as above. (PS what's with the images you're on about?)

Leaking pen, I'm pretty sure (as I said 2 posts above) that the 10 is just the number of letters, as per crossword clues, i.e. divination.

I'm less sure of the chess, card, chalk, checker clue, to me it seems to be pointing to games...

Okay, Tesseract, I just did a force refresh on that lik, and I'm still not seeing anything Gemini-related. No files, no directories . . . nada.

I went through all of the pictures in that directory just in case they were being sneaky and had named it something innocuous. Again, nada.

The only thing I see there that's out of place is http://www.descry/us/images/evasimages . . . and that, as I said, is an empty subdirectory.

Could someone upload a copy of the image to this thread?

Hey just a random thought...

What if the one two and three in the message are connected to the three puzzles we solved in the first rumi encounter? Like link the two answers together possibly?

Note Solved, I think

The note reveals a website:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

1 = Divine Nation = divination
2=chess, card, chalk, checker = types of board
3= /com/e = com

www.divinationboard.com



Haven't quite figured out what it does yet, though. Or even confirmed that it is in game.

I've got it up and running - you get a selection of nine words, on which you can click.

The words are:

Who
What
Where
Brother
Circles
See
Board
Fiend
You

Apparently, what you have to do is click on two to three words, and if you select the right combination, a question appears that uses the words.

Also, there are three buttons: Confer, Clear, and Shuffle.

"Shuffle" moves the words around, "Clear" deselects all selected words, and "Confer" asks a question (provided the words you've selected form a question).

Here's what I've gotten so far (and judging by this, I'm leaning towards it being in-game):

Q: Who + You = "Who are you?"

A: "Who disturbs poor Tom? Once a man of the dawn, until the blackest day of house and gun. Oh, Tom's a-cold. Poor Tom's a-cold. He fears to dream of guns evermore!"

Q: Where + You = "Where are you?"

A: "Tom walked, oh aye, round and around. Tethered to that night and could not break free. Once, a sad, sad woman wore similar chains as he. He wondered if he could help, but what could he do?"

Q: What + Board = "What is this board?"

A: "An echo of a brothers' bond. One looked forward and the other looked back. Now they look away, but the connection was never severed."

Q: Who + Brother = "Who is your brother?"

A: "Brother. Other. Twin. Lord of Night, Lord of Death. Guided by a dark sun."

Q: Where + Brother = "Where is your brother?"

A: "Trapped in the house for many a year, walking now in the place between."

Q: What + See = "What do you see?"

A: "Sorrow and crime, regret is forfeit in circles emerald. Injustice neverending. Two have endured. Hours of unusual secret evil."
