*Update- Apparently they are hooking up the corroded looking cube.

Okay, following Bertram down the rabbit hole:

He's talking about the Three Musicians there. The event that inspired American Pie was three musicians dying in a plane wreck.

Quote:

there's only one possible end


He's probably talking about Education, Nobel Prize in Literature, Library of Alexandria, print shop 3 or Charles babbage. On second thought, those might not be too helpful. Half of the puzzles seem to deal with books in some way.

No clues. Who would be the king? Macbeth, maybe? (connects to Rob Roy MacGregor?) "the play's the thing" is from Shakespeare, whom we haven't seen yet.


About the play within a play thing. Since the play mirrors the events in Hamlet, he might be talking about Through the Looking Glass.

I guess this all makes some kind of sequence if the way he's mentioned things suggests some kind of order or possibly part of a bigger picture. No clue what that might be though.

Erm, sorry if this is all obvious by the way. I'm pretty new at this thing.

The rusty cube is now running.

And the old cube looks like it will shut itself down in about 17 hours. We only have 6 more puzzles to solve before the grid is completed.

So I kind of thought that the whole Bertram-as-secret-code-freak storyline had kind of been dropped from this game (because, really, what were we getting out of it?), but checking his twitter, I saw that B yesterday sent another tweet to "karmaclimber"

So what's this all about?

BAH! two puzzles left, guys! one of them shouldn't take all too much longer... the other, not so sure. it doesn't seem like much more is left of faces, the other one seems a little slow, so if anyone if willing to help, we'd be grateful!
thanks!!!!!!!!

as for random other chatter, if you're interested in it, please visit the in game forums; this game seems to be dieing with all like... eight people actually helping with its progress xD

Over?

Um, so is the game over???

Bertram has posted a long and typically-cryptic post on his blog, titled "A Farewell...":

http://resurrectthetruth.blogspot.com/2009/05/farewell.html

It includes some pictures of a 'black cube', dated MMCLXXIV, which he has apparently been working on in secret. It apparently has something to do with that code/twitter/youtube whatever that never made sense. It still makes no sense.

Also, he twittered:
Quote:
@TheWorld So Long and Thanks for All the Fish



So I repeat: Is the game over?

Hmph.

I noticed that there is now a command3.php file, which means we may get to interface with the black cube. My guess is this cube is the crackerjack ai??

Well I'm thoroughly confused. Why does B always have to be so frickin' obtuse? Maybe he's leading us to something?

On his YT channel, he left this comment:

Goodbye. Always keep searching.


EDIT: the crackerjack ai was on the shiny cube -- it had something to do with solving all the sublocks to get to the master lock. Or something.

So here's what I did:

I saved the shiny cubes html page to my computer as an html file by right clicking and viewing the source code. Then I looked through the source code and changed the line http://www.electron-innovations.com/cube/command.php to http://www.electron-innovations.com/cube/command3.php. Then I opened the file in my browser (if you try it make sure you enable the active x or it wont work).

So all I get is "hello sailor" unless I enter in my username/pass then I get welcome. I tried it out with just command.php and the same thing happens. I thought at first command3 was just a test but since they both do the same thing, maybe command3 really is cube 3.

My guess is this php code is checking to see who is submitting it and if it is not from their site it wont go through? Maybe someone here is better at getting around this than me.

If not, then I guess we have to somehow find the site that has the form set up to submit to command3. Perhaps B hid it out there on the internets.

From what B said in the post, I tried searching for blog addresses with MMCLXXIV, Horrible Truths, seekers of the truth, 1 REAL truth, Burn the Veil, Black Cube, The Raven has flown.

Thanks Dante.

Though continuity wise, how's he going to keep posting if he's on the run?

This is an open message to the PMs of this game, who I hope are reading these forums --


Please give us something to go on that is better than Bertram's usual random bag o' b.s.

Either tell us definitively if the game is over or post again (or something) to let us know if there is actually something to find out there. Now that the EI forums and existing cubes are completely useless, it is going to take a might big psychic jump to read anything out of B's cryptic blog post, assuming that's what we are supposed to do.

I'd like to think this isn't simply giving in the towel. Just like I can usually tell when just a little bit more effort would achieve a solution, I can also tell when I'm banging my head against a wall. This feels like the latter.
