Those are the last 4 lines of this crazy poem my parents read to me when I was younger. I'll see if I can find a copy online.. It's called "The Spider and the Fly."

Got it here.

that's great, Ekplixi!

here's a link that works http://www.earthlife.net/chelicerata/spid-fly.html

did the email have a subject? and did you try highlighting the email as well? random martin or whoever we're dealing with tends to hide things. Cool

The subject was "Naughty, but not I..." and the sender's name was 9*.

I posted this in the archive - someone had posted the Whois data from qu13e.com. It's since changed; here it is:

"Kemuri" means "smoke" in Japanese, and "kagami" means "mirror", though, so it could mean "smoke and mirrors".

EDIT: I also just sent out an email to qu13eSPLATqu13e.com, asking for Kemuri Kagami. I asked Kagami-san who s/he was and told him/her I was "searching" and asked for help. The email was in Japanese, though, so I guess we'll find out if our PM speaks Japanese or English, or both.

EDIT 2: And got this back:

I replied with "Do you 'oboenai'?" since "oboenai" was a major player last time. I'll keep you all posted...

I'm trying to crack the "Anais Tumach" anagram. For some reason I'm thinking it's a word or phrase in Japanese.

my favorite english phrases off of this are: "shamanic tau" or "a satanic hum"
but, i agree, Ekplixi, and think we should be looking for a japanese solve.

Well, here's what I've got so far. The letter "c" only appears in Japanese in the combination "ch". So, we know that "ch" must appear in the word. The letters that remain can form two very common sentence endings: "masu", which is present tense, and "nai" which negates the word. But I haven't been able to come up with anything that makes sense; all I'm getting is a headache!

Just speculation at the moment I'm afraid. I'm as far as you are.

I tried emailing qu13eSPLATqu13e.com asking for Kemuri Kagami and given that Kegami means mirror I quoted the following passage from The Spider and The Fly.

"I've a little looking-glass upon my parlour shelf,
If you'll step in one moment, dear, you shall behold yourself."

Same automated response.

But "If you're looking for someone, before the at" <-- are we looking for an email address. i.e. nameATqu13e.com


Also, I am reliably informed by my housemate that Anais is hebrew and can mean "grace" or "favor" but he doesn't recognise tumach so I'm guessing it's a dead end. Just thought I would point it out as a matter of record.

Kemuri Kagami is listed as 9starspill and not Qu13e like the others. I'm emailing the old 9starspillsSPLATgmail.com address to see if I can get hold of Kagami.

Think we've got a new email!

In an archive post http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19308 I noticed that the subject was "9 s t a r s p i l l s & m a d . t r a i n . m o r n" Since we already tried 9starspills, I shot off an email to mad.train.mornSPLATqu13e.com. A message I sent to oboenaiSPLATqu13e.com got sent back to me, but the one to mad.train.morn hasn't. So I'm pretty sure that this is a real email address. We'll see whether or not I get a reply, I guess.

EDIT: Never mind, I just got it back...but I still think something is there. Trying gmail instead. EDIT 2: Which also got returned. But it has to be SOMETHING.

welcome to the world of Qu13e

Note to new players...

There are a few people who inhabited the world of splinternails a few years back (example Splinterbitch), I know it may be tempting but they are Out of game, and off limits as far as being contacted. Thanks for in advance for respecting their wishes.

I went ahead and grabbed that auto responder from qu13eSPLATqu13e.com.

Reading over it, it seems we may need to email others for them to reveal there locks. So.....

*that is how the name appears on the return email.*


Hmmm a secret key..... lock...

Looking like invisibleye is our man/thing/lock.
Any other names?


Edit IV: Looking at what we got so far as a whole, I would say we got everything backwards. With invisibleye and the 1/1/2008 to be found last. indicating to wait until than. Although the invisibleye email is still worth taking a look at.

Edit 00110101: Taking off the ARG goggles for a minute and re-reading the Invisibleye email(which I recommend doing to really enjoy it), it becomes clear to me that this isn't a "clue" and is a piece of art(that sounds pretentious, but "writing" doesn't really convey what it is). So if there is something "hidden" it would have to do strictly with "numberlessinfinte" given the spacing (IMO).

Well, I hate to do this, but I'm going to be on hiatus until January 12. I'm still playing, though, and I'll jump back in once I get home. Smile

Happy new year Japan! Smile

www.qu13e.com

Very interesting, haven't finished looking through it yet.

Edit: Reading through this you may conclude the owner of the qu13e domain isn't the same as last time. Before that's even debated I would like to say that I do not think that is the case. If it were so, they would have also somehow gained access to the sparkrent LJ.

But that's really the least of the questions this raises( Smile ).

Was rM ever really the owner?

Does rM really exist?

Is this a game?

I'll be gone most of the day (as I assume most of you will), but if you have time, mabey take a look at the directory, page, & image names.


Edit 4^1/2^: url.php's, strung together.

anagramdisharmonytookjpnott

Or mabey, anagram disharmonytookjpnott

Edit ~pi: Hmmm...
Right clicking and selecting view image on the front page images takes you to alternate images.
It also appears that you must manually type in the whtaever.php's to get yet another image.
Perhaps someone with photo editing skillz could put them together.


Edit for: *smacks forehead* After leaving and coming back to the home page I noticed the images change every time the page is refreshed.
Would still be nice to get all the whole images together.

I have requested a despoiler wiki to help keep track of all this stuff

natas are you sure there are only 4 or 5 i've been trying to piece them and i think i've seen 8 or more different kinds of images

some temp names i'm calling them by
ink (the inky words)
text (the typewritten words)
water (the watercolor looking image)
wall (the ones that look like a wall)
chars (the ones i think may now be bookends)
clock (well the clock heh)
grey (the greyish painting)
art (the inky drawing)
trax (the railroad tracks)
group (the connected dots and circles, because it reminded me of group dynamic maps)
and about 4 more that I have no idea how to describe


also each random thumbnail has a word attached to it, so i imagine piecing the words together might end up being more important than completing the images themselves
