[SOLVED] Receda Resorts Hotspot Thing

A banner plane streaks across the skies of Manchester!

It leads us to: http://www.recedaresorts.com/

And on the second page, the final image hath many a clickable hotspot. Assuming we need to click them in a certain order to get somewhere, you've got yourself a bona fide puzzle. Go go go!

Hmmm. I've found 27 hotspots so far. They are numbered 1 to 26 in the part just over the edge of the ruined wall, in the middele of the picture. The last hotspot is number 99, in the doorway on the left.

Clicking them in order (1-26, 99) got me to http://www.recedaresorts.com/c42d4388f5cd303d3070439e3857fd93/ which has an "Object not found" error.

They are surely correspondant to the QWERTY keyboard. A password entered, then a click on the doorway...

Clicking only on number 99 in the doorway sends me back to the front page.

clicking 99 converts it into some code that i can't be bothered to remember what it is, and sticks it onto the end of the url. having no code would stick nothing on, so you just go back to homepage Smile

however many numbers you enter whether it be 5 or 26 before clicking 99, you always get a string of 32 characters like

1e77dfe9f8abdf2008d6f026db17d4d8/ (response from "power" 1=a,2=b etc)

Which suggests to me that the 'password' is either 8 or 16 characters?

and the mystery 7th world which will be revealed on 22 October

Said this in another quickly descending thread...but at www.ascendancypoint.com the home page states
Quote:
A monument to the power of dreams

and on the visitor's page there is the old reference to Quote:
Quote:
Navigating the Maze of Stars

All this in an extremely tall tower

Emphasis all mine...

This seems to point to a lot of the receda keywords we've been seeing. What to do with it though I don't know. Perhaps this is just a tease at the keywords.

My instinctive response to the words that have been turning up was that The Third Power hold some strange metaphysical contention that when there is a correct star alignment (or a transit perhaps), they can, in fact, channel contact? power? between our universe and the Perplexian word, using the Cube?? And possibly working via a monument as a 'divining rod' for said energies...and...

yeah, I don't know why I imagined that, either Smile

{but don't you think that's the kind of thing they'd be interested in - seven keywords is reminiscent to me of some kind of coded occult mantra that can be used to 'unlock gates' or whatever...although knowing Perplexian propensities for binding the metaphysial to the pragmatic, maybe the words actually have a practical usage...somehow...semantic transformation of a liquid information universe ???!!!!)

What am I talking about?
