A page with a countdown timer. Looks like endgame is Halloween

To find what our purpose is, I think we may have to solve the ascensionpath.html page first.

Maybe there is a "pattern" to jumping from one color to the next, a jumble of words (and some are jumbled letters)?

Or we can just "guess" at the purpose (we guessed so many other things before).


What time on Halloween, midnight????? My timer indicates 11pm PST.

Just a note, we're on the Seventh Step- this might be it.

modified ascensionpath page

those pure colors were too intense for my eyes, so i modified the HTML. Here is a version of the page with (1) muted colors, (2) no popup counter, and (3) with rows and columns numbered, if it helps in the discussion. Oh, and the letters in a lighter color font indicate where in the source they originally did NOT specify a font color; most of the grid forces each letter to black, but those letters were left to the default font color -- also black, but why not default them all instead?

Is this not their purpose?

On the red near the end of it's spiral:
"We await the day of his return the son is born".

I also recall that the phrase "They live below yet seek the son" was repeated several times.

It's probably a one word answer.

Tried: salvation, revelation, divination, messiah.

I know too much about 7th Sons.
You can be a vampire if you are a 7th son of a 7th son.
There was some spec that Ron Weasley was a 7th son, but that was quickly laid to rest.
There was a computer virus in 1991 called Seventh Son.
One version of the Jersey Devil (remember it from CTW?) was a 7th son of a 7th son.
And the book by Orson Scott Card, or the Album by Iron Maiden.
I'm all googled out this morning.

from Harry Potter???

So... about that timer, people have been saying theirs is based on local computer time, and all the countdowns were set for different times {which makes no sense to me, because if it was meant for something to happen, it has to happen all at once, right?} Now, all my clocks, including my computer, have adjusted themselves automatically to be the proper time with the end of daylight saving time, and the timer {assuming it's going based on my computer's clock} is set to end at 11pm tonight, EST... what this means i don't know. if it's important, i also don't know...

It showing 11p my local time...so it's 11p local time based on the computer viewing the page. That is a might confusing. I hope we get to the bottom of this before 11p EST at the very least.

Without a doubt based on local computer time. Tested it by taking the drastic action of opening system preferences and changing the time.
