Hold on.

Pratchetty? Libraries?

When Pratchett and Libraries were mentioned in one sentence, something clicked. Has anyone heard of L-space?

[sollune]

Nice Find. Nice sig. XD

[kyameel]

^sollune, thanks.

Actually, as far as I've read, rules 1 and 2 get broken every now and then. But rule no. 3 will and must always be followed.

Matter...this reminds me of something I read:
"The passkey is in matter/place in Time." (taken from Iz' letter (?) to Orkid)

But how would you find a book in L-Space?
Or a passkey, rather.

My philosophy senses tingled and told me it's IMPOSSIBLE to mess with causality, if it excists at all that is.

The Triskabiblios site now contains no data? Update? Game Over?

[moongazer]

Well, what a shambles I think Law, in his earlier posts, has appraised the situation perfectly, as usual, especially the "hypothetical conversation" - brilliant!

From Raeden's conversation with Toby:-

[Abraxas]

Calm down, it's up again.
I know I repeat myself and I'm not that deep in this game/ARG/whatever to form a professional opinion...but perhaps I have the benefit of the outsider: everything might have gone as planned
I especially wonder about the meaning of "2L8" and why it was hidden the whole time in Islington's symbol.

However, my gut should tell me that this won't go beyond Book Zero and I highly doubt it will turn into a search for books around London - not to mention around the world (Iz probably won't leave his area).

Ok people,

besides the fact that BookZero is missing at the moment, which is in my humble opinion a personal error of Ix, we as players made some thinking errors as well..

Looking back at the clues we received I see the following:

We failed to see that we were directed into 2 directions: the first direction heading towards the paine monument the other to the library. The one to the paine for retreiving the key, the one to the library to receive bookZero.

As far as the breakdown on the hints:
We can all see the threads leading to the paine monument. the key on the monument, the video feed on the jackal page and so on. The key on the page with thomas paine. The reference to Sunday. all and all references to that what was found. The key.

Then Book Zero. Those hints were more obscured, especially timewise.
Again, I am looking back with this analysis, so it makes it easier on me. On book zero the first hint shows that it will be found in 2005 (found2005) It als has a reference to a lot of writers. (a bit far fetched to point to a library, but hence, it IS a clue that direction.) The following clue was the use of the newton/blake picture being used. and a reference to the blake poem and the bdate death date of newton. Another clue was st Patrick, this one came on the index page of the site (page 2 as you wish). All of these clues are pointing to the library.

Where the 2L8 sign comes in... I think Ix was letting us know that he was too late with something, and trying to make up for it, hence the shortened timeline, making things go wrong.

Where IX might improve is to check progress and make sure that we are going in the right direction. That will lead to a better understanding of the game and what is going on.

I myself have not lost faith in the entire thing, and i hope that BookZero will either be recreated or found. Either or, Ix needs to come with an explanation, or a next hint which needs to be very very clear!

Awll, just my 2 cts

I gave the library a ring a few minutes ago (enquiring about my missing red notebook ). The security people said that they hadn't seen anything of that description, but that it would be worth checking at the security desk in the library when next in the area.

Of course, this is assuming that (1) The book is actually red, (2) it hasn't had a new cover put on it, and (3) I didn't get the colour-blind security guard.

Hmm!

Can't we just enjoy the game? I mean, it's a free game that someone is hosting for YOUR enjoyment. It hasn't cost you anything, so why is everyone so down on the game?

It feels like a waste of time when you work a solid 4 hours to look for an answer to the clue, announce that you've found the answer, then see nothing come of it - but there IS a possibility that the answer was wrong. Or maybe, like Abraxas said, this is exactly what was supposed to happen.

It also looks like the forest can't be seen for the trees. There were things that came up weeks ago as a clue to the location, but they've been forgotten or pushed aside as a new clue comes in. I thought the London Bridge was the drop...but it changed as a new clue came in. New clues don't invalidate the old clues, though, right?

Besides, I thought Book Zero was found. Didn't Graeme find it under his doorstep?

I'm just watching and doing my own clue-finding, and I've discovered that it's the journey itself that is the most fun. I've learned alot about books Paine and all kinds of stuff. That's MY reward.

Isn't it possible that if everyone keeps bashing the PM he/she might just say, "Well, screw these guys." If I was doing this game and I read Law's
"conversation" I would be really offended. I mean, you're playing a free game. If the PM really is reading this board, please don't stop. If you have to, take it to another forum. There are lots of us still playing that don't feel like it's a shambles. We're along for the ride.
