Thank you for your message Adri.
Continue to monitor. He is trying to infiltrate. I will create an opposing force for his mind - meanwhile, you find out if he can be taken down any other way.

All members - if anyone is able to, link with me mentally - I will build it up - we will take him down on the day of Saturn...
that way - the petty fools will have to choose whether to try to find their rune-reader, or aid the old man in his defence against me.

Yes, they will not expect that.

Hmm, Vlad or Stu? (+ Genia)

Now then....

JAD has just phoned me to invite us to take a test. If we win, we get to ask him any question. If we lose, he owns our asses.

No - you can't speak to him directly either...

Ok...so Adrik wrote:

Prefixed by 'the Russian 'volk' is writing'.

Volk not only means people, it also means 'nation'.

I said earlier that I'd only managed to find Russian calligraphy sites with the above quotation. Strangely enough now, JAD posts a message containing:

Quote:
In the interim, will you be focusing within the Maze Adri - I'll be needing all of that calligraphic power...


Maybe there's something there after all.

If you scroll down here...

http://artel-art.livejournal.com/2009/11/08/

There is both a wolf and a maze.

The maze is also in the shape of the Kremlin (I think).

The quotation from Vladimir is from Byron's 'Darkness'.

With the build up of snow that is currently occurring in Albion, I would suggest that ll carries on as planned, but we take the fight electronically to Vladimir and not physically. In the nature of good sportsmanship and all, after all he is an old man, and I, well, I have the body of a 30 year old...

This weekend - all members are expected to be able to assist.
Defence is a key - we cannot - nay, will not let such a simple, one-person attack even deflect us from our cause.
Jayden.

I've also warned Jayden that Vlad is enlisting.

Catching up on what's been going on - peeking back through Vlad's facebook messages it looks like we missed a chance to meet him a couple of weeks ago. First quote comes from a poem called Meeting and capitalisations indicate SAT. Ah well. Let's try not to miss this one!

I may well not be near a computer again this weekend but I'll do my best to join in and help our Russian Ark.

Vladimir Sirin This image is a mantra - a foci for your mind and mine to connect. We will become one, and while I battle Jayden's persona, you will work towards his defences. I can only create the link through the computer and not in person. Thus, focus. This will only last for 48 hours. We need to find out what OoO are doing. They expect me to focus on life. No. If they meant harm, they'd have done it by now. We go for the throat. The power. Their goal. Help me...

‎[OOG - Apologies but don't have the budget to create a real mentally-integrated facebook image to suck you ito the mind space of their battle. Imagine, as you focus upon the picture, your mind gets fuzzy, and then you see a chess board, st...retching out, and a circle hovering in the sky. It seems the most pure circle ever created and yet, yet you are more drawn to the dividing lines around you, the rays by your feet... I hope you enjoy this:

Jayden - I was interrupted of Vladimir. He is assembling the piece-chesses in the book-face. I cannot both stop him and give power you to.
I go with original instruction until otherwise told.

I think I understand - I cannot access him right now - he, it seems then, is to make the first move. For an old mortal man, he has guts - this will be more interesting than I originally thought. Needless to say - the fight will be fun - but his mind will soon be like that of an IT specialist I used to know... gone.

Not sure how much I can do about this now.
Still. Stuff to happen today.

Don't know if it's worth trying some steg on the pic, I can't seem to find a straighforward system that doesn't involved non standard zip programs, a shed load of other libraries and awkward files with no file extension. Poncy programmers :/

Vlad seems to be holding up well so far, and comments Jayden has yet to even set his pieces. I've been trying to offer support in whatever ways I can but suspect I am missing a big piece of the puzzle. Tomorrow my computer springs back to life - maybe I can achieve more.

Uh, 11 letter word, something to do with light maybe is the first puzzle.
Funnily enuogh, Jayden has put something similar to Vlad about peices not out yet. He also mentions about winning and taking over Vlads mind and electicy powers though.

Looks like I'm back for a while. Life's been busy, and my downtime has been filled with other things, but I got a few messages from Vlad and figured I'd come attempt to help out.

The image of the chessboard and city scape doesn't seem to have any zip/RAR hidden in it. Camouflage doesn't pick up anything in there either - unless it's PW protected. I'll see if there's anything in the image it's self, but I doubt it. IIRC, the PM is more in to the meanings of images, rather than actual files/info being hidden in it.

Vald has posted something in the past few minutes, including a link to a site full of 11-letter words :
Quote:
Vladimir Sirin TrYiNgToHeLpBuTaLlIgEtIs: Gordon and Susan stay at the Furry Arms Hotel aNdAlLtHeSeWoRdS: http://clubefl.gr/games/wordox/11.html

I could be missing something (I likely am, due to my lack of involvement recently), but I would assume the 'gordon and susan' bit is either a clue to something you guys are already working to solve, or an anagram? As for the list of 11-letter words, "Uh, 11 letter word, something to do with light maybe is the first puzzle." maybe that list will contain the word you're looking for?

I'm going to go through FB and keep looking around, though I probably won't be on much longer. Leaving for a LAN party, then off to get the expansion to my digital addiction >.>;;


Edit ::
Just had contact with Vlad via chat. He seems to be losing it.

side note : Using Google for all my WoW stuff is conflicting with this Neutral
Looking up '11-letter words' is giving me stuff for the languages on there, and the whole 'dark moon' thing is bringing up the Darkmoon Faire.. rofl.



As for the picture on the OoO site, I was doing some searching. A 11 letter word relating to Twilight could be Crepuscular - which typically relates to animals that are active in the twilight hours - but it can also relate to sun rays that pierce through the clouds at twilight hours :

wikipedia wrote:

Crepuscular rays, in atmospheric optics, are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from a single point in the sky. These rays, which stream through gaps in clouds or between other objects, are columns of sunlit air separated by darker cloud-shadowed regions. The name comes from their frequent occurrences during crepuscular hours (those around dawn and dusk), when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious.


That also fits for the portion of the image with the clouds and sun rays.

Aaaand lastly, on the Furry Arms Hotel bit, I was going to search it, thinking it was a real location that may have a connection to things. In actuality, though, it's a Sesame Street location. Both in the Sesame Street edition Monopoly game, and the show.

::I've made several edits over the past 30 minutes, so if you've read between the time I posted and now, make sure to give it another look::

Gordon and Susan stay at the Furry Arse Hotel in one episode. That one features the letters H and X.

Edited. Doot doot doot.

Edit ::
To the message Vlad posted on facebook, containing the Sesame Street reference. I think those caps are more than just to be irritating.
I jotted them down, as caps and lowercase, and split them down (top line being from the point before the reference, bottom from after.)

Using lyrical defences:

It's a magic carpet ride
Every door will open wide

Childish rhymes work best... hey get stuck and repeat in one's mind



EIDT Telos, what are you using for digging round? Is it worth trying on the "answers go here page"? I tried using something called offline commander and got squat, but also didn't have much luck on the OoO page either.

Also, not much time to work on this at the moment, Uni work takes precident.
