Hey Gaymer, don't be shamed, I don't think anyone has the right answer so as far as I am concerned any one of us could all be right or wrong. Remember they are just ideas.

By the way I like the idea of the biblical references. I think that gamem8ker doesn't want us to try and come up with a game name. Instead he wants us to have some sort of phrase. This could be dealing with the bible. Does anyone know the book of revelations? I don't believe in the bible so I have no idea.

how much weight does every one give the religous idea to this? dead flowers, revelation, everything on desk seems to be dated, and change seems to be a constant in any of my search results


i found this elsewhere as well (in another forum) but here goes with the religious stuff

"truth brings revelation"

In the last puzzle the message on the machine said "Reset Reality, Message 512". Revelation 5:12 "saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing."

?????

well I'm a youth pastor so I really don't see to much connection in any of this.

Truth=Jesus

REvelations= last book of Bible, G-d's final attempt to get man to realize he loves him, or get man to listen

Maybe it's just that I'm sick and it's starting to get late, but I found that to be really funny.

Getting back on topic (sort of), it does seem like a good idea to look for biblical connections. And possibly connections to revelations in other religious texts.

I've done some pretty extensive studies of revelations and don't really see to much of a connection to any of the puzzles so far

But has anyone found a connection between like "withered flowers" "Dead flowers" and revelations?

<offtopic>
I can't stand that people believe in the bible so religiously since it was still written by man. I am NOT beginning a thread on why the bible is wrong or right, I am just clarifying why I don't believe in the Bible or Religion. Both are made by man, and man is fallible, therefore I shouldn't accept what they say until substantiated by true hard evidence.

I really think you guys are looking at too much OOG stuff, like newscientist or obeygiant websites, since they are real websites published way before this game has started. From experience from previous ARGs, if we are supposed to look into another website we would know it.

The only connection I can come up w/ is that the Jewish mystics have found hidden messages in the torah.

Just to throw another question out there:

Does anyone know what kind of plant that is in the picture?

Maybe the type of plant could have some significance.

OK let's look at what happened in the computer parts picture, the hint was "have you seen everything?" The answer ended up being the entire barcode that parts had been erased from. Now our question is "Truth brings revelation" So let's dismantle the question first. What could the revelation be? Revelation has to do with seeing something that wasn't there before. So could the truth be something about the picture. Once we see some truth, we could see something in the picture? Hey maybe those Truth ads from smoking can show us something Laughing

you might be on to something with the seeing something that wasnt there before...if you remember earlier today the challenge was posted, then taken down, so if "truth brings revelation" then what was added and/or what was changed from the picture this morning, to the current picture??
