TalonSilverclaw Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 right now I'm sifting though all the actionscript of the flash page, there should be SOMETHING of use in there.

yanger Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Ok so I watched the vid at the end the got the page http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/on_the_run that flashed across the sceen really fast.The last two lines on the page are boggling me: "When the time is right, I?ll ask you a question. For now, follow this trail to get the word it leads to." (Sounds like a riddle, think it has to do with the odpathi> of "on_the_run") And then "Contact Me." at the bottom of the page. So i send an email to loki@vanishingpointgame.com and get back: [indenfrom loki@vanishingpointgame.com <loki@vanishingpointgame.com> 9:01 pm (1 hour ago) reply-to loki@vanishingpointgame.com to <removed>@gmail.com date Jan 9, 2007 9:01 PM subject RE: Life is a mix of work and play. You've found play... ~Li>[/indent] Then I sent an email to loki@microsoft.com and got back: [indenfrom Loki . (Confidential) <v-loki@microsoft.com> 10:20 pm (30 minutes ago) to <removed>@gmail.com> date Jan 9, 2007 10:20 PM subject Out of Office: mailed-by smtp.microsoft.com Hmmm. Not quite what I had in mind. Try harder - then listen closely. ~Li>[/indent] I think the intent is either a sound file to find or a phone number to call, but I am stumped (and a bit foggy eyed at this poin:wacko:o: ) and must go get rest. I thought I'd at least throw this out there.... -K v-loki@microsoft.com - i shot an email that way, no reply ... i wonder if v has something to do with this... and why would it be confidential...

The_Devil_Inside Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I think it's just the image overlay deceiving you. Since they quick faded into the new shot.

danedmo Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I found these images, much like everyone else and touched them up just a tad. I am thinking that you use these pictures in conjunction with the hidden pictures in the other 36 puzzles that we don't have access to yet, and that they may lead to the answer of some even tougher riddle Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/78/#findComment-588211755 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperRob Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) OK, so I've been thinking about Loki's last message, the one you get when you e-mail her at Microsoft. "Hmmm, not what I had in mind. Try harder -- then listen." I just had a brainstorm. Try harder. What do you do when you can't get a hold of someone by e-mail, but you need to contact them? You CALL them. OK, so where do we call? Rather than calling random numbers ... we know where she works already. I called Microsoft. When the IVR (Interactive Voice Response) asked me to say the name of the person I wanted to speak to, I said ... Loki. The system didn't understand. So I said it again. And again. Then my wife walks in. "Why on earth do you keep saying that?" Still, I think this is the right track. OK, so the IVR doesn't recognize "Loki". So I figure, we either need her extension number, or we need to find her real name. Thoughts? Edit: Oh, and I thought of using either 31415 and 31416 as her Extension number, too, but to no avail. I wonder what would happen if I call in the morning, speak to an operator, and say ... "I know this sounds crazy, but if I were to ask you to connect me to ... Loki ... could you do that?"
