Maybe I should've spoilered that. Shocked Silly

I'm wondering if the "dashes" on the top of the image are remnants of the original text "Zoek de 3 verschillen in de foto!".

ETA: I can confirm that the dashes ARE remnants of the text. They line up with all of the "rounded" letters:
oede3escedeoo
Zoek de 3 verschillen in de foto


You're right about it being cropped from that flash object. It's weird that you picked that one result since tineye.com returned 87 results.

I did a similar screen grab/cropping and the dashes do look identical. I'm not so sure its a part of the puzzle, though. It could be but seems more likely that it was a mistake when screencapping/cropping.

ETA: "There is something behind you" makes me think it's steg'd. Once again I don't have access to proper software right now. Can someone stegdetect it?

The dashes are gone. http://www.login-2.com/horreur.png

"I didn't know it was that old" is probably referring to the 1666 date of the W3C url, since it's directly above it.

I don't think anyone's mentioned the CSS filenames, for the previous one http://www.login-2.com/14159265.html it was quadrature.css which seems to fit the mathematics clue. This one is aneicm.css which I can't seem to make sense of.

Yeah that's weird I noticed that earlier. It's not really visible when viewing the source image but you can clearly see it on http://www.login-2.com/juin.html and it definitely part of the image, not text.

my theory:

- the 1666 is supposed to be 1999
- the page name points to June
- "there is something behind you" and "horreur.png" point to horror movies
- aneicm anagrams to cinema, french for movie

so I would guess the title of some horror movie released in June 1999?

Ah yes, ok I do see it now. I blame my crappy laptop lcd Razz

Did you crop the pic you posted cause it's a different size than the one on the site.

IMDb only lists 3. http://www.imdb.com/search/title?genres=horror&release_date=1999-06-01,1999-07-01&title_type=feature

The image I uploaded was actually me screen capping and cropping the images away from the screamer flash website posted earlier to support that if cropped just so, the bottoms of the letters create the dashes seen on the login-2.com site.

I'm not sure if you are insinuating that I am involved. I assure you I am not. I think all the image results from tineye are from the same "screamer" joke, but this was the first working link I could find (from work).

June 1999 or June 1666? Although I like the idea of "cinema" and horror...

It is a sequel with a 666 instead in the name instead of a 6 hence 'I didn't know it was so old'. It was released in October 1999, not June though.

An update on http://www.login-2.com/recap page.

So the slashes are not important and it's connected with a 666 movie of some kind. Found this, http://www.666movie.com/, not sure what make of it though. There is also a list of 666-connected movies which might be useful: http://www.movie666.com/top-666-movie-list (link is pretty similar, lol).

Guess that's Alphonse Juin. I still don't get it.

Pictures in the pages

Just wanted to collate the info about the pictures for discussion:
Page 1--Egyptian Hieroglyph--"night"
Page 2--Chinese Characters--"ninja"
Page 3--Norway fjord--"??? horror ???"

Might be relevant later...

Tried googling 'night ninja', got a silly webcam-controlled flash game. Very Happy

So there is a movie about Alphonse Juin (or rather about the armed force he commanded). It's called 'Two Women', quite old, but it's not a horror movie and isn't connected with 666.

As far as I can tell, the "notags" field on the recap.html page refers to things that are NOT part of the game. Sort of the PM telling us what's a dead end. Like ZeroExtinction is OOG. and it appears that oede3escedeoo is not a lead either, by the same logic.
Also, the "tags" field includes 666, indicating that it IS a clue.

Code:
<! Tags: 666>
<! Notags: Zeroextinction; oede3escedeoo>
<! Links:   http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=30201
<! Winners: Phantom321 (Unfiction) ; Vapor (Unfiction); ??>
<! Random: You will need the french name.>


Also... has anyone thought of the movie "The Omen"? Released June 6, 2006, or 06/06/06. Definitely a horror movie. Seems like a perfect fit, I just haven't figured out what to enter- La malédiction doesn't work, which was the french title of the movie.

Other idea- does anyone have an image of the "screamer" from the flash? Just a thought- maybe the image was taken from something, and that's our clue.

Believe the screamer is from 'Van Helsing' if not mistaken.

Hmm. Scratch that idea then.

Here's something else to think about: if it's really referring to The Omen, which I think it is, then we might consider that there were two different versions, one from 06/06/06, and the other from 1976.

Might that be somehow connected to the image on the page? That comes from something ostensibly about "find the differences"?

EDIT: Also, it's a PNG image, so it's not gonna be stego'd with anything that stegdetect can detect. That bit only works with JPG.
