That's what I'm thinking also.

I found some signs in front of the Trinity College in Dublin that say

"SLCC in Dublin. Saturday, 25th and Sunday, 26th August. Trinity College. See signs at entry point for details"

That means they will be having in-world broadcasting of the Chicago convention at the College.

What do they mean by "see signs at entry point for details" ?

Also, the word Suffe means "drowsy" in dutch.



im pretty sure when put together with 1,2,3 (in the same language) it means something along the lines of "Cheers" or some sort of expression used before drinking.

its one of those things in foreign languages where the meaning of a word changes when placed next to certain other words... yafeelme? lol ok, cuz i looked into that thinking it may have been something.. but its not...

and again, Klaudio nice find.. do you happen to have any sites where we can compare the pictures (like you had with the third one)?

it would be awesome if we could compare them ourselves, just to be sure..

Hiya, There is a new clue up on gabriel's blog. It's a spot the difference puzzle, unfortunately i can't see any differences in it. It looks like a scene from the trailer though with that red line. Will have a think about the clue.

ok what is with all the upside down T's or backwards L's in red?

Looking closer at all the pictures it appears to me that is what they are...most of which are circled

it also appears that the # of 9's is indicating the clue number

the postcards were clue 4...there are 4 9's
matchbook clue 5.....5 9's
license plate clue 6...6 9's
spot the difference clue 7?....7 9's

Am I going insane or does someone else see this too?!?!?!

just a random thought (they happen on occasion)

clue 3 we discovered that most of the events happen on Aug. 26

clue 4 gives us 4 postcards

matchbox points us to convention in Chicago???


license plate is California---La???


spot the difference---nines house in SL??

Everything we've received since Puzzle 3 (the sheet with events on 8/26) are just hints.

While there may be something to see at the Second Life convention, there will definitely be something in-game at the four cities.

I didn't say they were clues but that it appeared that way looking at the # of 9's on each one... It is more or less me grasping at some straws here.. Also there are supposed to be 9 clues before the premiere correct? that leaves 11 days for the rest? I believe that the post cards were decided to be the 4th clue.

I thought that if you inspected the object in SL then it told you what clue it was? I can't check this out until tonight but if someone else wants to? I'm sure one of the clues told you it was clue#2 or something when you inspected it.

Also it makes me wonder that there are four spot the difference tiles and there were four cities on the postcard so i think it will relate to that in some way.

Maybe the clues will run up to august 26th which would only be a few days away as that seems to be the important date.

Stary nice spot on the amount of nines, the last two clues especially makes sense, i did wonder why there were so many!

Well i don't think these pictures are actually different. I've used photoshop to see if there were any hidden images by changing the colour levels etc and i couldn't see anything just looking at them. I'm not sure what this clue is supposed to tell us, if it even is a clue...

EDIT

Unless it is saying that the next clue will be found August 26th...at the SLCC..at 17.30 GMT. I wish i lived in Chicago right now, would be really fun going there and asking people if they have seen the nines. I wonder if you can watch the event from in SL itself which is why Dublin was mentioned.

Maybe the inclusion of NY and LA in the postcard was just there as this is where the nines will be premiering.

the postcard one does say it is puzzle 4
matchbox just says object and can not click on the license plate

oh well was just a thought. I agree with you though stary that the 9s represent the clue number.
