aha!

Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation

I've found that some (perhaps all - I haven't checked yet) of those image slices on her LJ are taken from something called the Mayday Mystery. Apparently this is a thing that the students at the University of Arizona do every 1st of May - they print a series of cryptic puzzles in the local paper.

Check out 'the texts' for some scans. I found the little smiley face on this page, for example, and there's a reference to the '51.53Nx12.40E' numbers on the 'Lexicon' page...a map reference to Leipzig, apparently...

Ahah, I see.

Anyway, I went to her Friends page, and I noticed that in several community journals, she posted the same message:

Which means:

Quote:
WHAT WILL YOU DO IF THE KING COMES TO GET YOU? WHAT WILL YOU DO IF THE KING QUESTIONS YOU?

DENYDENYDENYDENYDENYDENYDENY



I believe a second character will soon appear, who knows...

The Bartimaeus and Jenny wikis mentioned Jericho and the War of the Three Kingdoms.

My brain went:

War, Germany, Three - World War Three. Am I right? Probably not.

Then it seems she's trying to give us two diferent messages, in my point of view.


One about war, Troja, related with history and people from the past.

And another about truth, the "King", and that "we are all going to die".


I don't know, I'm only useful with direct contact and binary, hex and base 64 codes. Trying to get something from the small pics melts my brain.

Alright. Zombo.com and Global Halo totally spooked me. Interesting stuff, for sure. I need to pore over this some more... Maybe after work. Good job with the translations!



Woah cool.. for anyone that played "The NIN3S", do you recognize ZOMBO.COM? It was a floating link on the ground level beneath the Nines House in Second Life. I mentioned it on the Nines Thread.. i got quite a kick out of it for some reason..lol

I havent really been following this game too closely, but how would zombocom relate?? Just wondering.. more curious about the site than this game right now..

I think those related sites aren't really that important. Judging from what we've heard from those who have spoken to our girl, it seems that the pic slices are key. But what do I know?

Could be right.
Nevertheless... the whole thing seems to be related to germany in some way (or perhaps I am only hoping so).
Could be useful, that I am able to visit places here personally.

I think zombo.com and the other sites she has referred to are not a part of this game, she is simply telling us that this is real and not a game, and she is not "crazy" like the other sites.

She's said the picture slices are important, so let's concentrate on those.

Yeah, I'll pretty much stick with the "King" part, for questioning purposes.
Also wondering why did she use portuguese in one of her messages (and in another text, saying "todos morreremos" -> "we all will die"), of all languages, but I guess that is a lesser issue compared with the rest.


*EDIT* Actually, if we're going to stick to the pictures, we could start with the first one:

What is that chemical element?

Still no translation for the Kierkegaard quote "hjertets renhed er at ville eet". Anyone? I can't find it. Apparently, I'm some kind of moron.

Also, a pic slice has what looks like a chess board and is captioned "Mate in 9." I'm having trouble seeing what they have in common or grabbing clues from them. Some of them (text-heavy ones) have underlined words and letters/numbers. The Jenny Geddes and Bartimaeus one has "4" and "u" underlined. For you? Haha, confused. The JP Morgan one has "ore Ridley & Latin" underlined. No idea.

I'm also clueless with the pictures. The one that says "51.53N 12.40E", I wrote that in Google Earth, and I got just this, not very helpful:
