 		Sinuous has nothing to do with sin lol
It actually means "characterized by many curves or turns"
Sorry to break it to you

These might be oog but:


eden.com:has too many coincidences especially: vision in the headline, and the mention of "ten" on the bottom


also check out vision.com- the info on online community is weird.


Ok, this has been said so many times before, I'm getting sick of it, but you guys really need to understand this. This is NOT a game like ILB was, it is MUCH MUCH less complicated than ILB. There are no hidden messages inside file codes, and no decryptions and such. Nor do we need to go to other websites to find the solution for this challenge.

There's a reason why the challenge says "I am where you talk". The pointh of this challenge, if you haven't guessed it yet, is to make us all owrok together. Meaning all of the info we need to solve this is found in the forums of the various colonies.

This doesn't mean we shouldn't do our researh on other pages, like finding info about a poet, and his poems, but we definitely DON'T need to go and find hidden messages inside other websites/images. We need to get to the bottom of the hints we recieved, and work with what we got.

 		Thank you SenseBop, i couldn't agree more.

Also eden.com is a software provider, my school uses some of thier software, it's OOG.

I think wereo n the right track here with the Kubla Khan stuff, i just can't quite connect all the peices yet.

If you wish to go into details, "with sinuous rills" means its filled with rounded curves, hills, grooves, and small rivers.
The refrence is to A garden, not a SINFUL garden. Add to that the fact that Eden was not a "Sinful" garden either. It was a garden much like the one in the poem, untill a sin was performed in it, by Adam and Eve.

If ILB was used to launch Halo2 (a Microsoft product) and this is to launch Xbox 360 (another Microsoft product), why would this be any easier than that one?

Jeez, who died and left you Curator of the Museum?

 		he has a good point.

ILB was an ARG. This is not. Peroid.

This is team puzzle solving.

ILB was a complex and deep story told throughout hidden messages.

It's like comparing tetris to final fantasy. Yeah they are both video games, but they couldn't be more different.

 		Basically, all I am seeing is us working here, another colony working elsewhere and another colony off doing it's own thing.

No one is willing to meet @ one central location to compare notes and solve this puzzle. Everyone is being to competitive. I thought I read once that the gamem8ker said the scoreboard was just a distraction and it was meaningless.

We need to take that into consideration if it is true.

 		Maybe Something?
While looking through S.T.C. I found this. It mentions a "Muse", "Truth", and "Harmony". http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/stc/Coleridge/ascii_files/geometry_poem_letter.html Maybe it can help. Laughing

kinda makes you wonder if gamem8ker is signing on as a guest and dropping these little bombs off. You know, Scotch, Edinburgh is in Scotland and STC is on the back of the guys shirt in Edinburgh. I am probably way off base, but it would be funny

 		I was going way off the deep end with STC and KK and his Muse... blah blah... Then it occured to me...

WHAT IS THE QUESTION BEING ASKED TO SOLVE?

Is it a location, to find out where he is talking to us? Somewhere on the Prime Meridian AKA GMT?

Gamem8er is <answer> where you talk.

or is it a particular person/thing we're looking for;

<answer> is where you talk.

Agreed. That is why I moved over to posting at the TeamXbox forums - it is the closest thing to a centralized location so far. Might as well come on over there.

BTW, which other places did you see colonies working on this? I'd like to check out there ideas and ask them to come on over too...this one is a hell of a challenge and we need more brainpower still...

Shocked Huh?

Just like in the previous challenge, we DON'T KNOW what the answer is. The challenge last time was just a picture. We had to find the answer (or what it is we actually have to find) ourselves.
Don't focus on such things, as they are irrelevant to the challenge. Focus on the hints you recieved, and the leads people come up with. Right now, the strongest lead is the poem. No one is sure yet what to do with it, but everyone is 99% sure that it is part of the sollution.
