It looks like symbols in a map to me.. maybe combined with the Aglaura map?


Shelina, when I went looking at it about 5 or 6 days ago it took me a few tries to get through to it. COuld be the server is only on sporatically?

META (kinda out of game so I'll spoiler the keep the curtain)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
During CTW1 we found incunabula and according to our PM the site owners were thrilled with the increased traffic. Probably gave DS the CDs. The site is good background information on the time-travel and egg stuff from the "cult" that settled in Ong's Hat, but it is not "in-game".

updating here instead of just editing the older post...

Unfortunately the weather was far too hot for Gizmo, my puggy, and I am sorry but you have to understand we just got him Saturday, there was no way we could have left him home alone for 4 to 6 hours... and the car ride wasn't bad - he slept most of the way, but he refused to drink any water or go potty on the trip - so by the time we got there {after a stop at pet smart as well} Brian & I were a bit worried. This is all things you need to know to understand why I forgot all but one question people wanted me to ask Keith - We are worried about meagan, does he know anything. his only reply was that he has spoken to a lot of youth in that town.

Really, nothing much happened, unfortunately, because of the condition with Gizmo, Brian stayed with us - no pictures or video, just as well because really nothing happened. people kept coming up to pet gizmo, who by then was drinking a tiny bit of water, but really just wanted to sit on my lap. It started getting annoying how many workers were coming up to us - we WERE out of the way, it wouldn't have been so bad if the workers didn't radio each other to come over!

Keith, being paranoid as it is, finally told me that incase the other person who emailed him showed up, he was leaving me with two bags. and "Keith" left...

META MOMENT:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
About 15 minutes later, we walked over to the cafe area to find Dave walking up in a different shirt - he even changed! We sat and talked for a bit, he's a busy busy bee these days, but I'll leave it to him to tell people what he is up to. I got some autographed things, he pet Gizmo a bit, and we all decided Gizmo needed the air-conditioning in the car much more than I needed fudge, and said out toodles....


When I got home, I finally got some alone time {I had to hide in the bathroom to do so, lol gizmo is a momma's boy...} and took some pictures of the swag involved. Some of the swag is just that - swag. However, I really do think the map/picture of mask & comic together/307 logo thingy are clues of some sort {see attached zipped file for three actual size images} - and obviously, I got the mask of knowledge. I DO ASK that no one tells sarah I have the mask, first off, I want to wait and see what keith says to do with it, but secondly and meta/personal if I am allowed to keep the mask, it is getting shadow boxed and hung on my wall with my other ARG related stuff in the computer room.

This mask is AMAZING, and the close ups of the leaves came out rotten. If I ever figure out how to/if I can make my camera settings into macro, I'll try again and post them here {flickr is evil}

[EDIT] okay, it was requested that i specify.
Bag 1 ONLY had the mask... nothing else. the mask was in an amazon.com box with a piece of plain white fabric around it.
Bag 2 had the comic {still have not had the chance to compare it with my other copy} in a loose bag - not a comic protector bag!!! I find this important somehow there was the CDRom {mentioned above in kona's post} and a folder with three things - a map, a picture of the comic and the mask together, and the 307 logo...[/EDIT]

More META spoilering:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
How can it NOT be in-game?
We got an Incunabula CD in a live drop.
I know this was all created back in 2000 based on even older attempts to create a myth, but if Dave isn't one of the original Incunabula group or it's predecessor(s), he's being pretty plagiaristic. I have to assume that he is and that we're being presented with the Incunabua for a reason. (Hard as it is to get through it all).
Also. For what it's worth. I found the material a much bigger help than all the CTW1 game summaries in attempting to get a handle on what's going on in this game.

even more meta, lol
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
when i was talking to Dave, he said the egg and ctw were from the same source material but that the egg came first {i asked him about the egg}.... i almost hope everything on the cd is also on the website, because much like the comic this cd says not to reproduce without permission...

OK so here's a 'chore' for one of you that has photoshop and can overlay the images.... doing the old fashion print them out and put on top of each other.... if you place the center circle on top of the Aglaura map on the 'new construction' square with arrow point upward.... then the three dots on left from top to bottom land on Aglaura Industrial Park, Marzano Manufacturing, Marsano Enterprises.... then the seven on the right from top to bottom.... Farmer's Market (actually the gray square just above the market), Cranberry Bogs with the rest in the woods.... coincidence? I think not! Wink

I agree with the need to overlay the 307 page with the Aglaura map (but I don't have that computer capability).

What is the center point?
Can you take the map and just put "X"s on the dots from the 307 for us?

What if the center point was the library? Would it line up with anything then?

not really.... tried that first actually.... but center on new construction really seems to be 'right'.... especially how the three points on left line up with the Marzano activities Wink

re: 307 symbol overlay on Aglaura map

Looking at the 307 in Prufrock's evidence
http://aglauranj.org/images/evidence1.jpg
and the one from Keith's page
http://www.three-o-seven.com/index2.html
(Btw, they are different from each other in the orientation of the numbers 3 and 7. Which makes me wonder if Keith had more than just the orginal he found in the shack, or if the one the police have is a plant?)

Anyway, in those two linked above, the orientation of the arrow in the center, is pointing downward. That might mean that Pixie's 307 symbol needs to be flipped on it's horizontal axis, pointing south on the Aglaura map.
That would be opposite Diana's Grove. The only thing that comes to mind about that area, was something that Dale wrote in this journal entry when he was transported from AGP/graveyard....
Quote:
I woke up somewhere in the woods, the Pine Barrens, in the darkness of night. I wasn't anywhere near the Park, from what I have since figured out. I don't know how I got there. As it turned out, I wasn't far from the Aglaura Public Park and managed to walk home.

(Incidentally, Synthasia Design is located on Winton Pond Rd.)
Maybe that's some sort of portal? But why would Keith be pointing that out?
I have more questions than answers. Rolling Eyes

I was looking at that too..... so the image would be flipped.... then back to the library being a 'vortex'.... notice how the library building has two lines on it..... what if that is like a X and you line the X up not caring the direction/angle of the arrow..... then we lose the three dots landing on Marzano stuff, which personally makes sense, BUT it then causes the right side to shift significantly.... New Municipal Complex... the 'mansion' at the end of Old Dobbs Rd, that's the Hallow Needle I think.... near Dale's place on Winton Pond.... a house in New Mars Estates.... hmmmmmm choices.... choices... Rolling Eyes

PS: I also tried adding the lines and X from Keith's 3o7 page to see where it would land.... with our first lining up with New Construction that would be in the trees.... with the second using library X technique, a house in New Mars Estates..... I'm feeling a lot like Dale at this minute Laughing

I wonder if our sizing is off. You might be able to put the library in the center and still have the three dots hit the Marzano buildings on the left. This could draw those 7 dots closer into town.
