Re: splinter stuff

[agitated]

hey guys,

i've asked melpomene if kage (shadows, shades) was the 3rd word. and no, it is not. but she gave me a hint:

Jumping in the middle here, trying to get back into a game.

Following the above logic, there are several pictures that contain references to the number nine.

There's also something I just noticed. Look at the clock picture (the full one posted on page 4. Look at the black ink on the face.

Now look at the bicycle picture, the marks above the wooden plaque. They look the same to me. A very quick glance around didn't find the same pattern anywhere else.

just found something interesting on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_of_Spades

the ace of spades is sometimes called the "death card", and "bicycle playing cards" seems to be a well known brand.

absinthe bottle, ace of spades, gun -> first thing that comes to my mind is "death"

any ideas on that?

hey guys,im thinking of joning this- is there a wiki to catch me up?

[Jubilus]

I believe a wiki is mentioned earlier in the thread.

Iriguchi [entrance] is one of three.
Jitensha [bicycle] is two of three.

Shi [death] is not, sorry (one plus two is three)

[Jubilus]

The (one plus two is three) statement is bothering me. Does this mean that Iriguchi + Jitensha = the answer?

How does Entrance + Bicycle = something?

Wait... earlier Melpomene said "(but your questions are beginning to look more like the answer)" which is making me think...

0918090721030809 + 1009200514190801 = 1927291235221610

Iriguchi + Jitensha = S2729L35VPJ

My head hurts.

[eye b bangin]

ok, jubilus got my thinking, 1+2=3 what if the words in japanese or english for bicycle and entrance ar an anagram for the 3rd word? i dont know japanese except for asking for a peach condom(true story) so maybe someone can try to decipher it and see. maybe a 9 letter word?

"your question is beginning to look more like the answer" kokonotsu is 9 letters.

Um, I'm new hoping to get into this.

The comments about teh smudge on the clock face and the smudge on the column in teh bicycle picture DO in fact look the same. I counted the smudges, looked how they were arranged... and they match, or at least appear to do so.
So, uh, when I try to get into this, and I hope it's still going, uh, yah. I hope I can help! I do have a friend on a forum I haven't visited in a while, who lives in Japan, and knows Japanese. Maybe I can help there? Just wondering.

[Gherdale]

So, it's one key word missing.

I can't stop thinking about the last image text where it's said "I'm the key" and before that he says "I'm the Qu13e now" - I can't figure out if this is really important I'm just spec a bit. If HE IS THE KEY maybe HE is another word of the three word key; or maybe is Qu13e (though its too obvious).
Something related to the name: why the name of the main site is QuIXe? Why does it change? I don't know but this difference in the name has to mean something...

the third missing word has to be in japanese? Yes, ok


sorry if trout or im telling nothing, I am very intrigued and this forum seems a bit quiet!!

[Dream_Author]

Well... I'm new to this, but I wish I knew where exactly we are in teh puzzle. However, your mention of QuIXe reminded me of the hand picture, where it has IX on the palm, II on the ring finger, and a 4 (i think, it's pretty fancy looking). Bugs the hell out of me. And what was up with the =I62 or whatever is between the ring and pinkie finger?
If I knew where we were I could decide if it was all relevant or not. If someone is willing to help me catch up (im in way over my head trying to figure it out, the wiki isn't too helpful) then maybe I could add some insight into the whole thing. OR at least get my head on right, lol.
I think it fell off somewhere around the fifth image or so.

EDIT: Nah, I think I'm not going to get involved in this now, as it's a little late to get into it, if not over. Plus, I got another one I'm involved in right now, some white island arg, it think is the name.

[Delusional]

I have "updated" the wiki, specifically the to do list and added the interaction section.

Hopefully it will help to have all the information in one place.

I know the Tried and failed list is not complete so please add to it if you see something missing.

[Dream_Author]

Where did you get these words/clues, and where should I look for for the third word? Just curious.
Course, I don't know Japanese, if we're looking for a Japanese word... hrm.
