 		[UPDATE] 12-16-04,12-17-04 a8.htm, yturbans.htm Update
a8.htm has been updated with another statement from Master Bao:
Quote:

THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF THE LAST MONTH - Master Bao would like to extend his thanks to the entire town for their participation in the early devotional ceremony yesterday. It's been a hectic couple of days, but Master Bao is happy to see the new level of community feeling present in the town.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

SC contains "wzmtam" at the end, which ROT-18s to "orelse"


Also, the task list on yturbans.htm has been updated:
Crossed out:
# URGENT - Review crowd control plans for ceremony
# Pick out best Ginger Gold apple

Added:
Great job everyone on the ceremony!

EDIT - edited topic tag and topic information - SG

 		Oh, just noticed Daniel's page has a new line (I think):

Quote:

I've recently seen things that...wait, I know this page is not all that secure. I don't know who I can...damn.

 		lg8 - the water page
Also found a new update on lg8 (the water page)

Quote:
We've found an interesting article about events in the area, but we
were only able to get a hold of a "first draft"...


Haven't had a chance to go looking for what its talking about. But on a plus note, I'm almost finished with the Wiki (so go check it out!)

 		OK, I was trying different image numbers, and I haven't seen these mentioned (I think they're fairly new).

daemon4.png is ... well, weird. It looks like a screenshot of an IRC room, plus some other logging stuff.

daemon-1.png looks like a pro wrestling match. Some pixels on the guy's arm look messed up; maybe steganography?

 		if you look at the top of the daemon4.png image, it says "Suggest: my pleasure?...". if i remember correctly, that's the first part of the message i typed into the suggestion box that caused me to get the e-mail from charonSPLATchaoseed.com. on the right side, in the IRC conversation between bernie and David I. Bickerstaff, they mention something about a "strange e-mail". i'm curious if mine is the one they are referring to.

as for the daemon-1.png image, i'll try some steg stuff when i get home... stupid school... thank God i have the next two weeks off.

 		The pixellation in the picture almost looks like something was added to the file ala the witch and gadget bmp files. However, I've looked through the file three times with 3 different text editors, and haven't seen anything that jumps out at me clue-wise.

I've pretty much finished updating the Wiki. I'm hoping with a more consise "guide", more people will get interested in this, because I know I need the help if this game is going to get finished Very Happy

 		I've been stuck at home sick, so I've had some time to poke around. Smile

I think the pollux.php page has a new line after the poem:

Quote:

J'ai caché roku clés (tsuyoi, umi, etc.), demo anata ne peux pas trouver ma porte sans tous


Spoiler (Rollover to View):

It looks like a mixture of Japanese and French, which I make out to be:

I have hidden 6 keys (strong, sea, etc), but you can't access my door without all

I hate to burst your bubble, but that's not new. It's been there at least since I've started playing. Sorry you're sick though Sad

I know once we figure out how to either get into Bao's page, or find the next clue to move on, we're gonna feel really stupid. I feel stupid right now just spinning my wheels trying to figure out what I'm missing.

 		Yeah, I see it in the Wiki now (that's a lot of help, btw).

OK, what about mace's page? I think there's a new line. It seems like he's referring to the recent ceremony,

Quote:

Today Mr. Zhang really showed his abilities as a leader. It was surprising. I'm not sure how to describe it. It could almost make someone believe in what he says.

 		You're right, that's new. Didn't even notice it while I was putting that page up. Wonder what else I'm missing. I'm beginning to go crosseyed between the login page and the door page.

 		Was just re-reading Dan's page. When I first read it, I thought that maybe he had figured out we were breaking into his pages. Now I'm wondering if he is afraid to say something because Master Bao can read his page.

Is it possible something scared/disturbed him during the ceremony the other day and now he's having second thoughts about what he's doing in Idunn?

 		Another update to a8.htm!

Quote:

THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF THE LAST MONTH - Be advised that it is all right to eat the apples you were given at the ceremony; in fact, their magic will fade after a time, so it is best to eat them as soon as possible. Parents, share your apples with your children, taking the opportunity to review some of the things Master Bao said in his speech.


Kind of creepy.

 		OK, sheesh, busy day:

A new paragraph on Flora's page:

Quote:

It is a wonderful feeling to see one's faith rewarded. Master Bao demonstrated the extent of the favor awarded him by the gods yesterday. As Master Bao spoke of the adversity and derision heaped upon us by the world, a cold wind sprang up and the skies darkened. My heart went out to the townsfolk, huddling together in families; I wanted to shout that the grace of Idunn would save them--but just then the sun broke through the clouds, as Master Bao spoke of the rewards waiting for us if we are faithful. I know every soul in the square was lifted with joy.

I have also heard reports that people are enshrining the apples they were given at the ceremony, which proves the effect we are having on these lost souls.


plus, on Daniel's page is another entry in the "conversation":
Quote:

Master Bao: Daniel, thank you again for your work on getting the glyph sequence uploaded.


The task on yturbans.htm on the glyph sequence is now crossed out.

 		Another update to yturbans.htm

It's a link: "Life of Zhang Jiao (draft)" that goes to life0.htm

Also, crossed out on the list:
# Order more pepper spray for Michael
# Get doctrine pages linked from main town page
#"Life of Zhang Jiao" pamphlets

New on list:
# Apple sculptures? since they like to enshrine them

Added after the crossed out pamphlet line:
Everyone please comment (see below)

OK, now let's figure out that zbao login!

 		Update on Flora's page:

Quote:

Master Bao: Floralia, I believe you and Daniel have not been precisely getting along, but...as you know, while all are equal in the eyes of Idunn, some souls may be more immediately important to our work here on Earth. Therefore I wish for you to make every effort to soothe Daniel's concerns. If you have need of further guidance, see me in chambers.

Master Bao: I think I understand, Master. You ask a lot, but if is truly important I shall do my best.


I think that second Master Bao should be Flora though.

And mace adds

Quote:

The lake is getting just a little too cold for swimming. The hard part isn't surviving; the hard part is getting out of a warm bed for it. The flesh is willing, but the spirit is weak. Is that how it goes?


Plus update on a8.htm

Quote:

THE SEVENTEENTH DAY OF THE LAST MONTH - Master Bao would like to take this opportunity to review the Doctrine of Idunn, and also to record it for future reference.

* Idunn shall grant immortality to those who are worthy.
* Mankind proves itself worthy by heroic endeavors, as represented by the Adventurer.
* A human of great moral purity, the Emissary, must travel to Asgard to petition Idunn for her favor.
* When winter comes, the veil between this world and the next is the thinnest; therefore it is the best time for the ceremony.
