 		Look at this:

Also, I think some things to think about:

Eno Trap, U4 Sterces.

splinternails has returned, my insatiable ones - back from the shadows and the dead in betwixts. Miss reading me? We've certainly been miss-reading you. Now let's all nevermind the what they've said, we're here to respin tangled webs.

Clockstop the Whys: Old fool - makes more senseless than we do. He tells a good tale from time to time, when he can tell the time. Whatever he babbles about us is simply hearesy...but we've silenced him for the duration, haven't we?

random martin: Their mr. moonlight and our voices head, sold his soul to the devil of them all. One of our favourite haunts, so to speak.

the splinterbitch: WHIPCRACK! Back to the pixels and code and plight, or they'll be no bones for you tonight.

the keeper of things: One of our longest ever faithfuls, knows where to remember forgets. Doesn't say much, but only because his tongue's gone missing.

the soulcellar: Caveat emptor, mercabilis emptor.

OSkar: Sometimes they come back. Sometimes they come back to get you. Sometimes they come back to get you back.


But since we are not supposed to contact any of those people I'm not sure how relevant that information is. I dug it out of the archives. I thought I had seen that quote from OSkar recently though?

I like the tone of this game Smile

 		Hey,

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If I use an EXIF reader on the bicycle image, I get two results:

Unknown (9C9B)1,14 : 6800670030003100610073000000
Unknown (9C9E)1,10 : 6C006F00760065000000

If I put those through a Hex <--> Ascii translator I get:
h�g�0�1�a�s���
l�o�v�e���


Does this help anyone?

The last trace of his existence 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.

Do we know who -d.m. is?

 		Not really, I think it has been speculated that it could stand for "Deliberate Martin". Unless I just made that up but I don't think so.

Edit: no "Typoxic" suggested that in this thread.

And I understand your frustration, I sometimes think he enjoyed being the cause of it.

If you're having trouble finding the answers from the clues, try finding the clues from the answers.


i'm wondering if the space character in the word sairensu is something we should pay attention to...

Obviously we have the clue staring us in the face, but we're just not seeing it.

 		ok, now he is just taunting us Razz
"Bicycles blocking entrances. Letters and numbers scrawled on walls like graffiti secret code."
Working backwards per the latest clue, I come back to the only relation that I can come up with is that on this page there is both a bicycle and the word "entrance", perhaps the answer we are looking for also lies on this page?
Has anyone tried "caution" "beware" "pay attention" or the like since it's written in at least a couple places I believe as well as on the page in question. Either that or the ansewr is related to the face some how.
"Thirteen"?

If anyone is feeling ambitious a list of the tried and failed words on the wiki would be useful.

Edit: of course there is that "graffiti" on the wall under and to the left of the bike.

This was an answer to my question, I asked Melpomene, whether it's "oto" (sound) Wink

 		Well it's not "Thirteen".

I really don't know.
From the left it looks like with a stick figure with an M(MM?) X above it, a square of dots, and a stick figure lying at the bottom of a staircase or a stick figure with some squiggly line coming out of it's eye.

Still not sure about the top, looks like "Whr(y?)ow".
The rest is;
Random
Numbers
Martin
Lies

See, that "graffiti" to the left of the bike on the wall looks like to me (From left to right): A stick figure with arms stretched upwards, with some other lines above... almost reminded me of someone on stage looking out at a crowd. The dots in the "next picture" to me for some reason look like windows, and if you look carefully the dots are contained within a lighter grey surround, so it almost looks like an apartment building or something. And the final one, to me anyway, looks like someone getting struck by lightning, possibly with someone in the background calling for help, or looking on at least.

Total conjecture I know, but I've been curious about this one since I first arrived, and it hasn't moved on since then either! Confused

So the Japanese word for "warning" is "chuui". I'm looking for some kind of confirmation of this on the website before I try it... Unless somebody already has.
