following my (possibly farfetched) LOCUST reasoning....if you do a search in Little Boxes, query "deleted", search type "creators account", the Locusts article (#45) comes up. Why is this written by "deleted", and why is it the only one? Who/what is the significance of "deleted"?

I already tried deleted as a directory name on PRJ and Paintover, no dice.

an idea...

an idea...

to me, it looks as though the slightly more colored box around her eyes seem to signify that she's looking at something. and to me, it looks as though there are some little boxes on the side sorta behind the weird font that goes vertically down the right side. little boxes...maybe...

and then the song on little boxes by dina, it says "what has gone wrong" and also talks about a little girl. maybe what's gone wrong with the little girl in the picture has something to do with the scary skeleton figure behind her.

just an idea...for passwords or meanings or clues to anything...

There have been a lot of maybes in this. So many trials of different sites. It just hurts to think about it anymore.

as anyone tried piecing the pictures together in a puzzle form? Leiphe.com has the map site talking about putting together pictures that have meaning? I'll play around with today and see if anything comes up.

I'm new at this whole ARG scene, but this one has me addicted. I've ran this pic through just about every filter photoshop has and still haven't come up with anything. I blew it up and removed the graininess so maybe this will help you guys figure something out. The only thing that's crossed my mind so far is that it's not just a red box over the girls eyes...it's a box of color in an otherwise black & white world...maybe trying to tell us that we're not looking at something the right way? Just a thought.

Here's the pic:

Where are the lyrics from the MP3 on the Beth's site?

I bet that is a clue from the PMs directly to us. Maybe we could find some ideas there...

RED Flag

I am sorry to say it, but I think the game admins dropped the ball on this one. so much is unclear for this picture and so much has been tried.

I think they need to update the picture like they did the Bobby picture. It's probably just a glitch in the matrix.

Eye See(I C?):
A girl pulling her pony tails.
Shadow: 99% sure it is a skeleton. (key)
Encrypted message says "always to have lessonS TO Learn"
Box around girls eyes is in color and includes the STOL from above.
Box might include red backround or object.

We're missing something. Question

More than likely, we are supposed to find a directory on a site. Once we find that we can figure out the login and pw. But the clues are leading us in all different directions without success.

I throw out the RED flag and call a challenge on this one. Anyone agree?

Outside the Matrix, no one can here you scream.

Yes, Pollux, it's here (yes, I'm replying to myself...) Smile

Quote:
i have a picture
taken so long ago
seems like a stranger
little feet dancing
smiling all a-glow
don't really know her at all
where's that little girl smiling
from her happy world dying
to be a light shining in the night
where has she gone?

so many questions
the answers have come and gone
what keeps on changing?

but when i'm happy
what else could i really want?
what do i need to find?
where's that little girl smiling

from her happy world dying
to be a light shining in the night
where has she gone?

what has gone wrong?



Beat me, but i think they are almost giving us the answer. We just don't know how to listen...

So, any chance the girl in the pcture is Beth?

Sure it is. But is little bit strange this MP3 suddenly falls from nowhere, exactly when we are stuck in this thing, with lyrics that are compatible with the picture that we are analysing.

I don't know... perhaps it's some side effect of lack of sleep... Rolling Eyes

For the lack of any progress; Some random thoughts Shocked

"eye see" is not too different from "Icy" - "Alice" contains the word "ice". Ice is an acronym for "Intrusion Countermeasure Electronics".

The "Skeleton" could represent death or "Mort". Combined with "Ice" produces "Mortice" - A Type of Lock

With the remainder of "Alice" (after taking away "ice") gives "Mortal". Dunno where that goes though

The Image in the red box is the top of a "queen" chesspiece could this represent "Crown" or simply "Queen".

Beth is Short for Elizabeth - Queen Elizabeth II became queen when she was a young girl. Though not as young as the girl in the picture.

Make of that lot what you will. Rolling Eyes

I really hope this picture means something. Very Happy

A Stretch. But like "skeleton" key

Agree... where to go.

Okay.
"Always have lessons to learn" Alice said that. The "speaker" of the quote in the following paintover clues usually gives us the username.
BUT there is no "word missing" like in our other clues to give us a password, or directory...right?

STOL
i keep going back to lost, lostgirl, littlegirllost, etc.
But this...I don't know the story well enough. Does Alice lose anything specific? I keep thinking that this is the password to Beth's Archive, but only 'cause we freakin' don't know it yet.

Also, Dina. She is all over the place. Quoted in Beth's LIFE box and asked a pointed question by Fiona Leiphe AND has a song on Wongmo in which she whispers "i am looking for you"...WTF is that!?!
