[SOLVED] November 17 picture at paintover Let's get this show on the road!
[edit] Now, I could be wrong (at work and without shakespeare references again) but is that Othello?
[2nd Edit...] not Othello: Julius Caesar! Said by Cassius, and the missing word is Brutus, as in "the fault, dear Brutus, is not our stars..."
[EDIT: Solution, thanks to chancesend]

Well, the quote is once again from Julis Ceaser, Act I , scene ii, lines 139-141:
Quote:
"Men at some time are master of their fates:
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings."
And the missing word this time is Brutus.

So we have the login and password: directory? There's some freaky looking fractal stuff, a man jumping, and a stylised ring when I first look at it...
The background looks like a swirling VORTEX...

Damn, someone got to it before me. Yeah I posted this in the general forums. So mods go ahead and close that one.
I remember reading through this speech in high school, and remember that the missing word here, is Brutus. Is that the clue?

EDIT: That ring thing looks kinda like that coffee cup from one of Dina's hidden pages...

Please don't use the forums for chatting.. you can throw out ideas for in IRC and a solve will be reached very quickly.. but why make life harder for the person who wakes up after 6 hours to find a 7 page thread with "I think"'s and "maybe"'s

login to what? What's the website? Cascade vortex is still open to the public.
Okay, Ehsan, I guess I'll just miss out since I can't get into IRC. Thanks. I appreciate it.
Just please give what site we're supposed to go to to put this password in and everything.

I'm sorry guys.. I know it's frustrating not to be able to get into chat.. I'm at work at the moment and can't get in either..
Okay go ahead and post as you wish in this thread for now, and I'll post some general guidelines to make things easier for the future.. My only concern is people who miss the start of the update and come to find 100-200 new posts, but only 10-20 of those posts have the actual answers..
Not to undermine the importance of speculation in reaching the solution.. but we'll talk about all that later

And those of us behind firewalls? We'll just miss the whole development process. Aren't the forums for discussion as well?
Those pesty puzzles in the middle of the game probably aren't worth posting either. Let's just do this in IRC until we find the end of the game and then post it here. Deal?

Thanks Ehsan. I don't mean to be a complainer. Sorry.
Okay, so does anyone have an actual site we're supposed to login to? Is there one?
