Things aren't as they appear. One clue is obvious and seems to have been found out. However, the method of dealing with these kinds of things is important. You must treat it as if it is what it is hiding. Merely calling it out won't work. Once inside you will find thetruth. This may confirm what you think if you speak Arabic and know of the Outer Gods.
ok guys. i may need a little bit of help. i have no clue what i'm doing at this point. i have no experience in ARGs.
i'm going to try to look up some stuff on RARs and the Outer Gods to see if something pops up for me.

I know I said I'd keep out of this, but try running the images (specifically the RAR one) through camoflague, using "thetruth" as the password. Unless that lack of a space was a typo on your part, not the PM.
I'm going back to not caring now.

ah. i was wondering about that one... er.. i tried to download camouflage but they don't have a mac version. so yeah. i'm trying to find one though.
oh! thetruth could be a password.. yeah. that was exactly the way that it showed up in the email.
i'll see what i can do!!
and um.. thanks zygotesix for helping me even though you said that you'd stay out of it. it means a lot to me.
everyone here is so cool!!

I believe this has to do with more Lovecraftian stuff. The fictional Necronomicon was written by a "Mad Arab", and the Outer Gods were deities in the Cthulhu Mythos.

i found some stuff relating to that outer gods, like you said, and i'm trying to put their names in arabic in the password section of my destegger. but none of them seem to be working.
i didn't find the necronomicon though. maybe there's something in there that'll help..
thanks for your input!! seriously, everyone here is really awesome!

Passwords? Dare I put up walls between you and the information you need? No, as stated before it should be treated as one thing instead of another. When you discover the prize you may be called a winner (or as some say, Winrar).
P.S.:The bubbles are behind the wall.

he's giving me clues, i know it! they sound like good ones too. but i um.. am bad at this still.
so far, i have tried to desteg both pictures (with and without passwords) to no avail.
also i have tried changing both pictures by putting a .rar extension and um... de-rar-ing(?) them using a rar program. and those aren't working either. they're saying that they aren't holding anything.
that website he provided is a question site for him i guess. enter a question, and he answers! it reminds me of honesty boxes on social networking sites, except that he has the ability to actually answer them.
anyway, yeah. it may seem kinda dumb that i'm still trying (cause i really do feel dumb that i haven't been able to decipher ANYTHING), but um.. i still am. >.<;
thanks everyone for your patience!! ...if i'm not alone already.

I don't see how this new information is connected with the old stuff. Descartes, Hadron Blurb etc. OR even the universe crossing!

this stuff is all for the puzzle that I (or anyone else he sent the puzzle to) was supposed to be solving. The information he gives us after we solve it will moat likely have to do with that stuff you mentioned. I'm just taking a long time and am needing tons of hints because I'm not as experienced as everyone here...

Cool, looks like maybe I was right some pages back when I suggested that a form of Yog-Sothoth was the man in the robe. Here's a description from Wikipedia:
Quote:
'Umr at-Tawil (Arabic عمر الطويل) The [Most Ancient and] Prolonged of Life), also spelled Tawil At-U'mr or Tawil-at'Umr by writers with no knowledge of Arabic, is described as an avatar of Yog-Sothoth in the story "Through the Gates of the Silver Key", by Lovecraft and E. Hoffman Price. In the story, he presides over the timeless halls beyond the Gate of the Silver Key and the strange, near-omnipotent Ancient Ones that dwell there. He is described as the silhouette of a man behind a strange, shimmering veil .
