thank you, cs178, for pointing that out-- this makes sense that we'd be switching over to an hour, minute, second clock

Maroo...looking perplexed. "What does?"

 		I thank labfly for the invite to join you guys. I went into reading the thread and catching myself up. I havent seen this, so tell me if I'm wrong or right on Qu13e (ok, bad pun). This was just on www.qu13e.com Does this mean it started?






PS - This is my first ARG, so I'll probably say a LOT of dumb things, just rattle the lone marble in my head, it doesnt bite. Wink


*EDITED* - Reasons being: refer to PS Wink Sorry to get anyone excited, could have sworn I read everything

 		Thanks. There is also faint writing along the right side that I havent been able to make out, maybe someone else can or already knows?


*EDIT* Seems to be most visible when the image is turned 90CCW
*2nd Edit* Its Latin. I'm working more on it and will try to translate as much as I can, as well as put it in placement as to where the translated parts come from within the picture.

 		hey guys, the above update happened like a week ago.. check back to
page 8 of this thread-- we are still waiting and watching the countdown
in the source of the page.. there are some stegged pics that we've yet to solve... and i believe there are letters and words in the background of this message.. i have attempted to blow them up but can't get a clear reading on them.

welcome aboard, glecius Very Happy

 		Hey everyone!

Not sure if this has anything to do with anything, but I found this on one of the cached links at http://web.archive.org

 		i just got an im from sparkrent.
I would've asked more questions but the user logged off

Quote:
[19:14] sparkrent: Oh, and the secrets will spill. 3,2,1 among you. Tick, tock, tick, tock...
[20:00] LBRapid: hello
[20:00] LBRapid: who is this?
[20:01] sparkrent: I come with a message:
[20:02] LBRapid: ok
[20:03] sparkrent: Tell Clockstop:
[20:03] sparkrent: "Your scars of experience, bruises from before,
Skin chafed thicker, a soul dulled lead;
Will neither stop new bloodstains upon the floor, nor rid the ghosts screams in your head."

 		That last message sparkrent sent you is also from the SplinterWorld blog. It's the August 21 entry. I was just thinking that maybe if we take all the messages we've gotten so far, and then look back at the subject lines for the corresponding blog entries, maybe there will be a magic, secret message... maybe... I'll get to work on it.

I'm starting to see why they're called "ARGs"... it's not because it's short for "Alternate Reality Game". It's because that's the phrase you continually want to yell while playing them.

 		I got a message earlier from sparkrent. It only said "tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock". I asked "are you the Keeper?", they said "only of secrets." Didnt save the log though, but that is verbatim.

I was going to mention the same thing. And guess what? The subject line for that entry is in labfly's 6F62616B65.jpg post on page 3 of this thread. (In the middle of the pic)

Edit: Wasn't there a quote from Clockstop about coincidence?

page 2 of this thread (clockstop mirror.gif)

Page 2, a picture:

No coincidence or escaped chances,
Chaos plans its incidents,
Beware them when you least expect,
And encounter random accidents.

This is surely intruiging. Does this mean there is a 3rd that got a message from him? Maybe he selected 3, or I could be way out in left field.

 		Could be nothing, but I found this doing a Google search for it

http://www.word-detective.com/gry.html

What I got from this, read here if you dont want to read the entire page

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Angry and hungry are two words that end in '-gry'. There are three words in the English language.
This would follow 3, 2, 1, 0



My first thought was possibly Get Ready Yall, but I cant expect everyone talks like a redneck just b/c I do Wink
