also each random thumbnail has a word attached to it, so i imagine piecing the words together might end up being more important than completing the images themselves


So, should i stop with the pics. cuz it's tedious work.

i have just noticed that in gs10ha.jpg the letters with a strike through spell "random martin"and that the shadow of the message is totally different from the actual text i cant figure out what it is exactly. can i get a second set of eyes? also, the absinthe bottle has some things changed in it if you compare it to a picture of the original.

 		don't give up, you are doing an awesome job.

I am working on these too so if there is a piece you are missing let me know I may have already gotten it

 		Last Two
The puzzle one makes no sense but I put it together exactly like I did the others. Using the same method.

 		No, but it's easy to find them once you get the hang of it... Just click the section of the image where the piece is..... Then you just change the pic name from A.B.C.D....M according to which pic you need. Then you have to right click the image and "COPY" it to a paint program or gimp or whatever... If you right click and "SAVE" it, the pic goes all random for some reason. At least it did for me.

 		nm,, it will take me a few ... but I will post all the words you are speaking of grouped by picture... line by line...

Top Left
"Yet, /everything /happens /a certain /number /of /times, /and /a /very /small /number /really."

Top Middle
"The light /from /the rooftop /vanished /leaving /him /with /mismatched / afterimages of /muzzle-flash /monster /and white /beam."

Top Right
"The /day /after /meeting /my /shadow, /I immediately /set /about /making /a map /of /the Town."

Middle Left
"...they /would /run /in /packs /and /leap /out /at /him /all /at /once.

Middle
"...floor /collapsing, /falling, /bouncing /back/ and /one /day /I /am /gonna /grow /wings...

Middle Right
"...THIS /IS /A WORLD /OF /LIES... /THE /LIES /CANNOT /BE /STOPPED. /THEY /HAVE /MOMENTUM."

Bottom Left
"...it's /doing /me /in, /doing /me /in, /doing /me /in, /doing /me /in..."

Bottom Middle
"Hustlers /of /the world, /there /is /one /Mark /you /cannot /beat: /The /Mark /Inside."

Bottom Right
"...take /this /and /run /far /away, /far /away /from /me. /I /am /tainted."

 		translation in progress
i am having a friend translate all the japanese writing from the pictures. so far i can see http://www.qu13e.com/ssc.css contains
Quote:
/* ICUCME */
body {
padding-top: 25px;
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #000000;
font-family: Tahoma,Verdana, Sans-Serif;
font-size: small;
}
img {
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
/* Beware numbers, count onLies */
.qu0te {
width: 360px;
padding-left: 70px;
}
.qu1te {
font-size:9px;
}
/* 012017211305.131513 */

the numbers at the bottom are also found on the bottom left corner of the picture of the face with goggles. they are barely legible. and they become "ATQU13E.COM". also 0120 is a prefix for some phone numbers here in japan. but its too many numbers.

 		Top left panel
clicked on the top left pane. the heading was 010108, which I'm guessing means the date. the pic name was gsh10a and had a keyword attached. "epic" I'm too tired to look at the rest... Happy new year all.

EDIT: Ok, I can't sleep

Header - pic name - keyword - descr.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
010108 - gsh10a - epic - left hand w/ writing
311001 - aixgsh - history - person w/ goggles
111511 - hg01as - love - bicycle
011103 - hga01s - music - drawing?
151415 - g10sha - tragedy - poem
011005 - agixsh - sacred - typed letter
201921 - agsixh - choral - absinthe, A-spades, gun
311005 - h01gas - comedy - blurry drawing
311007 - gs10ha - astronomy - another typed letter

also he spelled existence wrong. and he maybe gave us a hint about qu13e.

Quote:
The last trace of his existance left.

I've gone searching for him. If you should too, good luck. Perhaps we'll meet along the way.

And don't forget, mind your peace and qu13e's.

-d.m.


queue is a word. kind of like a list or something if i remember right... so by my gorilla deduction skills.... 1=e and 3=u

This pattern is repeated on the absinthe bottle - liqu13r instead of liqueur 1=e 3=u

Also, of interest is that the ace of spades is considered by some as the death card. Absinthe has been rumored in history to cause death, and guns are safe (lol)

EDIT: 9starspill anagrams to splinternails... is this trout?
EDIT: "canister spies" on the bottom middle pic = "certain sepsis"
(1 of 500+ options including narcisist pee)
EDIT: See if you can make anything out of this pattern. (sorted by date)
http://www.qu13e.com/IX/ (the GHSA in the pic names are constants)
YET ANOTHER EDIT: This is a triple post.. I should be shot.

 		More Coincidences....
If you take the first letter of the directory for each of the 9 pics, you get..
PRILLSSTA which anagrams to starspill...9 starspill... ring any bells...

I found this out because I have no life.

EDIT: anagramdisharmonytookjpnott
You can get.... Tokyo, JP, ninth ,doormats, (I already know that doormats makes no sense.)
