Saw something in the latest picture.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the bottom left of RM's note, there are some numbers. I can only make out a 5 and a 6...

Sorry for the double post, but MAJOR spoiler behind the cut.

The binary was "despiradox". Remove the "ic" from the url: http://www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/solitairea/despairadox.html


Nice one!

Just got it, the words on despairadoxic.html:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Eye See (IC)" - "You No See"
"No Eye See (IC)" - "You See"


Shocked

Okay, got the spoiler tags worked out this time, and I think it's a good one. (My brilliant friend Ali came and helped me out. Smile )

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Notice all the funny offset letters in Random's note? (Not the various tense words, just random letters.) They spell out panichthtml. Replace the despairadox with panicht, to go here :

Edit: but wait, there's more!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the source has a message saying to pass through the door, we need to make "three and three the cube of four." Which makes little sense to me, plus I can't get a password box to come up or anything...

First, I think Glecius is right. We need better organization. I can't help feeling like we're running in so many directions and missing things. Like why did the gate pic come back? And does the binary in the background of despairadoxic translate to anything? What's with the Japanese words Ekplixi found? (Brainsplode!!!)

Second, what happened to the Wiki link Nateblizz started? I tried going for info but the link is broken.

Not complaining, just seconding some opinions. And love these images!

If we follow the clues we have been given, we are no longer looking for Random. Its in Qu13en's e-mail:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If and when you and your friends are ready, I will lead you astray to where the end begins. There you must contact the Keeper of Things; he is one of the very few who may freely traverse the Realms of Qu13e. When you have located him, give him Clockstop's message - and then give him something that he does not have.


SO, this means we need to prepare and not just keep running around.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It says to give him something he doesnt have. The first thing that popped into my head was "time". It seems to fit the logic being used here, but used in the wrong context it could be shot down in a hurry. We need to THINK about this and not jump into acting on it

For this, I can get this far as of now, havent had time to sit and ponder yet, but it might trigger someone else.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
four cubed is 64. if we look at it in the context it is written make 3 and 3 into 64, so that would lead me to think 3 and 3 is 33, in order to "make it 64", the answer would be 31. Remember Rule #2, it could also be worked in "Double Vision" to be 13. The question then becomes, how does this fit, there are many possibilities.

okay so apparently i should not sleep.. i missed sooo much!
wow - wow - wow! it is a newbie revolution and you guys found
some amazing stuff! really great solves!!!!

a couple things: on the "PANICHT" page
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
you get "LOST AND FOUND" if your cursor wanders around the framing and "OUT OF ORDER" when you put it on the pic


and to organize let's back up a bit.
here's a list of what we are working on:
let's make sure we have everything we need from each of these.
yesterday's gate

http://www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/solitairea/despairadox.html
http://www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/solitairea/panicht.html#

(we are looking for the Keeper of Things and we should still be
investigating "sparkrent")
edit: whoever finds the Keeper of Things must "tell him that the devil has escaped and schemes revenge" and then "give him something that he does not have"

I know what you mean, I woke up to the same thing this morning and have now sworn off sleep for at least a year. As for "investigating" sparkrent, I think this is only following his blog updates. We have no other source of contact to him or anything associated with him in that respect. He used messenger contact at the beginning, then went away, so his blog is our only source of his info.

As for the Keeper, I think it will be divulged, but I'm more concerned with making sure we have the necessary tools/info/gameplan/whatever before everyone goes nuts and sends out e-mails.

*EDIT*

Also, the switching pictures you discussed. Looking in the source it seems it is tick.jpg and tock.jpg, you just cant get to tick due to mouseover change to tock (if that makes sense)

Ok I see alot has happend while I was gone.
few qu13stions.
where did that bianary come from?
where did they pics you put together come from?
I'm stuck on the link we got from the email I don't see anything but the 3 "rules" links and the blank despairadoxic page.
And can someone please start a new thread for this update and summerize?
We don't have to use this one thread for the entire game, and if we keep tacking things on like this it's going to be hard to follow.


Edit: also isn't the the login box on thegate.html new?

hey delusional,
i will do a summary later (can't take the time right this moment)

the email took us all to the start here:
http://www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/wherethequ13egins.html
click on that image and you will go
here:
http://www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/solitairea/inthedarkandthrough.html
after this page comes up ("IN THE DARK AND THROUGH")- you highlight and click on the word "continqued" (there are also three pop ups on this
page which i posted earlier)
"continqued" takes you here:
http://www.qu13e.com/mr.espot/solitairea/despairadoxic.html
the binary is from the source of this page
(and you will find the tiles on that page also)
edit: also you will find binary in the image (when you move the tiles to correct position)
more later

Ego, awesome job noticing those numbers. I never would have seen that...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Looking at Puppy_Zwolle's cleaup, I'm seeing something like "11561511" but the first and last couple of 1's are so sketchy that I'm sort of questioning myself. In any case, there's a six in there, and that's the first number that comes to mind when I hear "three and three." Should we be replacing that 6 with a "64"? Or maybe a "46," given rule #2?


I guess I don't really have anything, but that's been my line of thinking since last night. Maybe I'll bump someone else in the right direction by bringing it up...

Ok I think whatever was there was removed. All I get for that link is a blank page. Nothing in the source, no tiles, nothing. But thanks anyways.
