 		Ah HA!

Suddenly remembering this thing, and acting on a sneaky hunch, I discovered the word you need to input into Allan Etienne's bio page.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
gatekeep


And the best part is, entering that word takes you to.....

Another password login page.

(whimpers, curls into a foetal ball in the corner...)

Actually, entering "gatekeep" just brings you back to the same page -- gatekeep.html -- just in the main window.
As I've said before, I'm not that great with JavaScript, but from what I can tell, this bit of code here:
Code:
location=password + ".html"

sets the variable "location" to equal whatever you entered plus ".html".
Then, I think this:
Code:
root.location.href = location;

Makes the main window open up the page that "location" was set to.
So, for example, if you enter "index" into the password box, it'll just bring you back to http://www.chesterburg.com/allan/index.html

... I think. Laughing

 		Okay, just some random research:

----------
Whois
----------
Did a whois on chesterburg.com:
Quote:
Registrant:
Chesterburg Town Council
665 Barnacle Rd.
Chesterburg, CG ---
US
665-665-1313


Domain Name: CHESTERBURG.COM

Technical Contact:
Cheshire, Catherine chesterburgSPLATchesterburg.com
665 Barnacle Rd.

Record last updated 07-17-2002 09:20:43 AM
Record expires on 01-24-2006
Record created on 01-24-2002

Note all the 665s. Clever. Also notice the name: Catherine Cheshire. Nice, I like it. Very Happy

Then there's that email address: chesterburgSPLATchesterburg.com
Now, I suppose someone could try emailing it, but considering the site was registered in 2002, I'm not too sure the guy checks it anymore. Then again, this IS the guy that just randomly decided to list 665 random things, so you never know Wink

And, maybe I'm just an idiot (Well, I am, but still...) but where in the US is CG?

* Poke shrugs

----------
#finalfight
----------
Remember that reference to #finalfight? I looked into it a bit, and the one I found was on the server esper.net, but I suppose anyone could make a channel named that.

Then again, looking up the channel's info shows:
Quote:
Registered: Jul 23 16:20:51 2001 BST

Which would make the channel older than chesterburg.com, so it is entirely possible. If anyone wants to research this further, go ahead.

I'm thinking maybe we stumbled onto a game made for friends on IRC. The way the source welcomes them like that, it looks to me more like a community game that the 665 dude introduced in that channel.
* Poke shrugs

----------
Chesterburg on 665
----------
Google's freaking awesome, dudes (and dudettes). Searching on sixsixfive.com for "Chesterburg" brings up three pages:

http://www.sixsixfive.com/angel/botchat.htm -- I'm guessing this is the AIM log from a prank this guy pulled on a friend of his. He (she, actually -- "Angel Grace Blue" is a "19 year old girl that lives in Osaka") says he/she lives in Chesterburg... Creepy... And most likely out-of-game.

http://www.sixsixfive.com/workingclass.htm -- Either this is another prank, or a clue, but it's an AIM log of someone claiming to be from Chesterburg and is "on a voyage". The guy says he's a "young man", and according to the Chesterburg website, Allan Etienne is the youngest member of the Tourism Board. Maybe just coincidence, but it seems kinda likely.
NOTE: Something else odd in this log.

LMU1281: glad to hear u have all ur teeth

Remember Catherine's page?
Quote:
If any marriage-minded gentlemen are reading this, Miss Cheshire would like it to be known that she is an expert cook and seamstress, and has all her teeth.

*Poke shrugs

http://www.sixsixfive.com/194.html -- Drawing of the Chesterburg People's Theater, the now-deceased Eugene Cardley's "brainchild". Remember Samuel Downley? He used to be the General Manager for the Chesterburg People's Theater, before it closed. Carved into a pillar "by the ghost of Eugene Cardley": "UXOR MEA NECABIT," which apparently means (Verified by a number of sources -- Thanks Google! Wink) "My wife will kill me."
Quote:
His ghost still haunts the theater and has resisted all attempts to tear it down; the comdemnation notice can be seen on the floor, dropped, along with tools, in a hurry by a nervous town representative.

Maybe someone could take a closer look at that notice? It's probably nothing, but there's always a chance.


Umm... I guess that's it. Maybe more later.

It seems that 665 was at one time also running a pretty lively Live Journal, which can be found here:

http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=665

This guy was very prolific for awhile with sixsixfive, chesterburg, live journal and who knows what else. I wonder what happened.

 		This is a little spooky. 665 could be no more than a trailhead for something much larger. Eyes are being kept on it

You have to take the comma or the period out of the address... they used actual grammar on the site names... it got me too at first...

 		665 clue?
a quick google for the word "Chesterburg" also turns this conversation up:

http://www.sixsixfive.com/workingclass.htm

perhaps there is something in there that lends to a better understanding of what the password would be.

Also, the text in the SEMICIRCLES gif file makes me think of a math equation... perhaps i'm reading too much into it but hear me out:

To make good: Draw three-fourths high, a width of a cross, and then three times a circle together.

This could be 3 / 4 + 3(pi) which is like, 10.174......

complete and yet not. Then let go of it.

I can only imagine he means "put this number aside for later".

Next, cut out two semicircles on the paper

this could mean 8, the only number that looks like two semicircles. It could also mean brackets, if he's thinking of a semicircle as being not a whole circle.

a perpendicular line on the table

maybe a perpendicular line on the times table? this could mean anything, but for now i'm gonna assume that he means 8 again, so 8 times 8, would be 64. I don't know how this instruction would fit into the "bracket" theory.

You'll meet with your next problem. To solve it, add a square - not a triangle - and make a doll that stands on it's head; it needs two legs but three feet at once.

Okay, this one seems a bit confusing, so i'm gonna reach hard for this one and say that the square is the square of 64... 4096 and "make a doll that stands on it's head"... maybe a number that can stand on it's head? the only numbers that can do that are 5 and 7. and seeing as he says it needs "two" legs but "three" feet, that adds up to 5. so we have a 5.

And next draw two boxes and four semicircles and surround the whole thing with a circle in red.

two boxes... getting back to the bracket theory, it could mean [ ] [ ] perhaps? and the four semicircles are just more brackets. But what would that have anything to do with anything? And surrounding the whole thing with a circle in red seems to be the real bit of information that doesn't fit into this whole theory.

Interesting thing about the second spoiler - at the bottom, you can e-mail jossSPLATsixsixfive.com and in the source of chesterburg.com, there is a reference to philip joss or ptjoss or just joss in the meta tag.

I think it's "I did it. I killed them all. It will happen again. I killed them all."
Just in case anyone got confused about how you could kill a mall.
It's interesting though, has anyone else kinda heard this before? It sounds like something from a movie.

Also, doing a google on the word "ionesco" brings you to the "absurdist playwright" eugene ionesco... absurdist playwright huh?

and also, there is some other text I googled:

scientist oceanographer tinker tailor soldier baker thief prison

I noticed one movie that came up from the 70's, upon further inspection, called Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy...

 		you all might as well stop for now

there's a yahoo group he started on 665 when he stopped making new stuff, you should join if you're interested

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sixsixfive/

he hasn't updated the puzzle for a few years now:

Not yet. I've actually finished some of what comes next and really should pick it back up. When I get around to it, I think you'll like what you see.

Alright man, I'm just curious. Has anything been implemented beyound Allan's password at Chesterburg? I don't want to waste my time trying to figure it out if it's not even there yet.

I don't really know how to start this off, so I suppose I'll just jump
into it.

Of late, I have been doing more reading and more writing, more drawing
and such. I think the reason I've had no desire to pick back up with
the whole website thing has been a lack of creativity and inspiration,
and so now I am attempting to restart that particular engine. We'll
see how that goes.

But enough about me -- the reason I am sending this out is as simple
as this: Regardless of what you call this particular holiday, no
matter who you are, I sincerely hope that this holiday is a good one
for you. I don't know how to make it sound more genuine than that, and
I also don't want you to feel like you're getting another greeting
card with generic sentiments from people who don't really care. I love
Christmas, it's just about my favorite day of the year. So I guess
that my hope for you is that you have a Christmas (or whatever your
particular name for the time of year is) which, if you don't love it,
makes you love it, or if you do love it already, simply lives up to
that. Feel free to drop me a line about pretty much anything. Happy
Christmas, and God bless.

Yrs,
JSP
