Strange Cube 1-6/6

[beano³]

Just coming on to post the same!

[Mudbrother]

wow, so we have all the symbols now. Now just need to figure out what they mean. I left a comment on his Blog, and set up one of my own http://whereszoe.blogspot.com hopefully to catch some comments.

***UPDATE
I just received an email from a Gab Gashionel. I'm not certain if its IG or OOG. I'll copy his email here:

Hello there.
My name's Gabriel Gashionel, and I stumbled upon an older blog a few months ago, that seemed to be written by some paranoid girl. She never revealed exactly where she was, but a link took me to the "Pemesent" council site, where I signed up, and now I am receiving weird emails. Is it just me, or have I seen those pictures on Chris's box on the council site, popping up out of nowhere?
Just want an opinion.

- Gabriel

I wrote him back. I'll let you know if he responds. Did anyone else get this email?

i have received none of the above.. ugh!

but yay for more stuff to work on.. hopefully
this will lead us to some sort of solve. muddy,
i would guess that person is IG.

love the 6/6 pic..
reminds me of my dog after a bad bone

and because i am wondering how ryan is doing these days,
i sent off another email to the addie from the original
email

edit: the email bounced back!

Ok, had a brainwave while talking to a friend of mine. Remember the UNY site we were given that showed the cube sculpture in Astor Place Manhattan? (incidentally called "the Alamo" if it's important.) I think that may have been a hint for us that the 'rebus,' the images needed to be placed on a cube. Maybe the PMs got tired of waiting for us to figure that out and decided to give it to us directly.

So I guess what I'm saying is, the cube structuring of the symbols must be important.... but why?

One thought I had was that the opposite faces might be linked together somehow to form 3 pairings...

(Maybe that's what {-}{-}{-}{-}{-}{-}=3 means, and the {-}=2 means we need to pair each side, represented by {-}.)

Any thoughts? Ideas? Solutions!?!?! :p

[mastrrob]

sorry if this has been posted before... im still trying to find an ARG that i can sink my teeth into.

But about this cube.

I went to the main site and was just poking around.

I clicked on

Travel then on City Info (i get a 400 error Bad request) then when you click on another link you get a quick popup of the 5th side of the cube. Getting a decent screen shot if it.


thanks for the update

[Mudbrother]

hiya mastrrob,

I'd encourage you to get involved with Zoe, it's a great game so far. The game is really just starting (all before was pre-game.) We have a small community here, so it's easy to get involved, and we have several open puzzles. There are two summary posts to catch you up to speed as well.

As far as your question, yeah, we'd discovered the city info page, and the cipher below that picture has been troubling us. You can find the thread on that subject in the "pemesent.com" thread started by labfli.

Welcome to the group, hope you stick around.

Ok then had a proper look at this new site and was amazed that Labfli didnt spot it!

Either this guys spelling is apalling or theres something we missed....

6 words all with missing or additional letters

Now I cant make anything out of that but who spells prefer like this lol gotta be a puzzle

[automaton]

His reply to Caverrance and Labfly also had atrocious spelling!

"menchion" "prehaps"

But the most important information he gives us is to concentrate on the order. I'm still stumped though.

[Mudbrother]

Ah cool, didn't notice a comment had been left! Yeah, I'm definitely beginning to think the order is important. The pictures are not ordered across the cube like an ordinary die would be (opposite sides equalling seven, or sometimes consecutive numbers around the common vertex.) I'll try to think on these terms for awhile, see if I come up with anything.

I'm thinking the {-} of the cipher are clues for arranging the cube, or for interpreting it.

Chris just attempted to contact me via MSN messenger, but I happened to be away from my desk at the time so I missed him. I'll hope to catch him in the next hour or so that I'll be online. I'm hoping he has some additional insights on the meaning of the CUBE

**update - Chris has an edit for his blog today:

[Mudbrother]

wow, I actually guessed it. I guess keycodebot didn't approve me since I was still just guessing. hehe. I couldn't ever get the "I" rather than them clue.
