[META] - Has Everything Been Found in the Meta Puzzle?

[konamouse]

I agree with you, Rose. We're not at the end of this trail at all. There should be more after Puzzle box 2 than just the collectionplate.

The idea that he had to go in through his "Window". This seems pretty obvious that we're dealing with Windows OS (but with it's new name). But sounds like a clue to me.

We know that everything is in the script for a reason. And in the second video there are snaps away from her head to objects in the room? Those also might be clues.

We also know that the META cannot be fully solved until after the last puzzle box is open/solved. But that doesn't mean we don't have more information we can find with what we have available now.

You make a very good argument, Rose. I guess the question is, are the producers nimble enough to adjust the content of the Loki videos to push us forward when we hit a stumbling block, or were they pre-filmed in advance and just released at the right times?

I'd have to think that if we're stuck for very much longer, we'll end up getting another clue in some form, especially considering there's a timeline at work. But you certainly could be right. Now, is there a rock around here we can use to break that window?

IMO the answer is yes and i think its murmurs

[L.Boomer]

I have the same feeling as well. i have been picking the video apart and trying everything I can think of to find the next step but have had no luck at all.

My only other thought is that maybe they didn't expect us to find the white boxes from the start, and that after finding /collectionplate they figured we would spend a few days figuring out what we needed to collect and going back through the puzzles having to find them all. (It would not be the first time we were ahead of a game )

The only problem is that if this week was to be solely about finding collectionplate boxes, then it is simple busywork and does nothing to move along the meta storyline. I would think that with the minds behind the game, and the obvious deadline approaching in a couple weeks, that we would most certainly have more to find.

The only thing I have been working on as an idea is that the change of the card on the postcards puzzle may not have simply been done to help clarify a puzzle, but maybe that is our "window" we need to be paying attention to. Maybe the lines on her dress across her midsection are alluding to "sawing a woman in half" which would also tie in with the last video. I don't know, I am probably just grasping at straws, but it is a thought.

The right window

[danteIL]

Here is something I noticed that seems like a similarity between the two videos:

For the most part, the image stays focused on Loki, but in video 1 ("time"), it cuts away only once, while she is talking about her college majors:

[livintrue]

As long as we are talking about things seen on the videos, what about the first one on the main page of the game called Hear The Challenge?

This video cuts to several different things specifically.
White gloves
Room Service tray with Flowers, and matches.
A notebook with the Bellagio
Stop watches
Notebook with notes
Herodotus Book
Wrappers on the night stand
Genealogy

Some of these refer to places and the puzzels.

Other notes on videos:

She keeps the one stop watch in the challenge video.
She has that in the first video referring to the time puzzles.
She has a magic wand type cane in the second video after solving the magic puzzles.

Just food for thought really hoping to add to the discussion and maybe lead to some answers.

I doubt that the Sewanee answer means anything - the magic trick video does not appear to have been created for this game and so it is probably random which zip code came up.

[aliendial]

What makes you think the video was not done for us? That would not be characteristic of our PMs. Plus so convenient they just happened to find a video with a zip code in discards. I assumed they hired a card magician to do it for us.

I wonder if there are any famous theaters in Sewannee.
