 		ok then quick question, was that gif image on the one-eye page, as if it was its not any more and the page has changed to the following:



Quote:
A puppet whose strings are slowly cut one by one,
sheared at the root
The hands and arms no longer supported,
Lifeless and limp by it's side.

The pruned plant does not die,
The shoots re-form,


The blossom will come again.



Using the one-eye I have

avoided the purge

& found the guilty.

Much of me is parting.

We will grant apt punishment for the sins of the many.

MURDER

No the .gif was never actually on the site. It was made for better visualization.
That page has always been that way. Check EGo's Post to see how it was solved.

Also, in the html code, there is a comment of:

The full character set is:

Observations:
There appears to be a visual patten to it, much like the symbol puzzle, but we do not know the dimensions.

DEFAU
ACCESS

Method:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Given that there were so few characters, and that they repeated, and we have seen default give us ASCII pictograms already I was thinking that this was ASCII art. When I tried a few test widths I saw a pattern, and saw where some parts were repeating. I found the distance between them and then used that as my width (66).

That got the DEFAU lines, but the rest we unintelligible. Then, after struggling, I went back to the source code instead, and noticed that there were parts that had multiple spaces. When this is rendered in HTML they will be shortened to a single space. Therefore, I took the source code and trimmed out the <br /> tags, and then broke up the text in rows of 66 characters again.

This got me further, but there was still something wrong. I noticed that if I move the letters over a little with some spaces, that it lines up better. Upon seeing this, I went back to the code again. This time, I noticed that not all of the lines were the same length, and that it was likely that that was just truncated spaces. I entered the approporiate spaces, trimmed out the HTML tags, and the HTML formatting spaces, and placed the text in rows of 66 characters. The result is above.


Speculation:

I believe that this is but part 1 of the full access code. If the next message uses the same scheme, then the full thing will read:

DEFAULT AI
ACCESS CODE

 		I definitely see a pattern developing in the first seven lines are so...looks like decoy or delay ...nope I see it now.

It's the beginning of the word "default".

It opened to
