SuperRob Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 One short notice: Next week will be about magic. Yep. Makes sense now that we know that her name is LOrelei KItsune. Kitsune's are magical creatures. :) Something else I've noticed. She's definitely Japanese. Could just be that she could read it, based on the Japanese text in the first video (on the Bellagio webpage printout), but Kitsune's are Japanese werefoxes. Dunno if that will matter or not, probably not. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/82/#findComment-588213420 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jphillips59 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Should we do anything with the other flights? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/82/#findComment-588213433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickey500 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Wasn't it discussed earlier that in a video Loki appeared to be a cat? I haven't seen it, but is it possible that the image was of a fox? Would continue along the Kitsune line...

dickey500 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Should we do anything with the other flights? I've thought about that. The next flight is tomorrow from vegas to LA on Southwest Airlines. I figured I could call the airport and page Loki, but I doubt the airport is going to participate with thousands of overhead pages to loki. I also doubt they would use a live conversation in this setup. Anyone have spare time to head to the airport tomorrow in vegas and look for loki?

dmurfin Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I don't reckon the other flights are relevant, more likely just a way of tracking through to San Jose.

GMKrullen Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Loki is the mythical being of mischief, being a creation of fire, having hair of fire or being associated with fire. Kitsune are foxes with the ability to assume human form employing this ability to trick others, but also portrayed as faithful guardians. In Mythology both are Tricksters. From Norse, and Japanese folklore. This information has lead me to believe that there is a conspiracy taking place involving Mozilla having to do with FireFox. (j/k) I really haven't a clue :pinch: Could someone PM me the IRC channel where the VPG is being discussed. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/82/#findComment-588213463 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was posted on the IE blog was to be used with cipher keys. Not by itself and it was posted on other sites...like hive.net. I think it was just done because it is popular/visible so that people like me who got boxes would find it. just my thoughts Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/82/#findComment-588213493 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwasior Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I just will add more confusion... kitsune - as some one said is fox in japanies culture... but even better (after french wikipedia, babelfish translation) "...Among people of the north of Europe, the fox is one of the animals emblematic of Loki, Scandinavian god of fire and the ill will. In addition, vixen would seem to cover one Dise/matron with the Rhine...." and we have Rhine and another quote from french wiki about Rhine "...In this section, the valley of the river is tightened and boxed, it is what is called the "heroic valley", dominated by many medieval castles in charge of history and legends (in particular Lorelei)..." and this time Lorelei (murmuring rock).... heh :blink: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/82/#findComment-588213569 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickey500 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 For anyone still interested in the itinerary - it's a little interesting since she's not always flying to a release site (the locations listed on the site) in time for the release. Jan 11 - Las Vegas to Los Angeles on Southwest Jan 18 - Los Angeles to Austin, TX on American (the austin release is on the 13th) Jan 24 - Austin, TX to Denver, CO then Denver, CO to Seattle, WA (in time for the 27th release) on United Jan 28 - Seattle, WA to San Jose, CA on Alaska Did someone not pay attention when making this fake itinerary or is there a reason she's going late to Austin (rather than onto San Fran, Toronto, Singapore, London, or Berlin)? I have no ideas, but at least it's out there now...

I have no ideas, but at least it's out there now... Actually, it makes perfect sense. Loki, despite all of her talents, can't be everywhere at once. Several of the overseas events are at the same time, so it make sense that Loki herself wouldn't be conducting them.

Uless she's driving to singapore... Good question. Well, quite frankly, I think the only events that she will be "at" are Las Vegas and Seattle. The others are events done multiple times, but honestly, that's all just speculation. Still, since the itinerary does correspond to the single-run events, it stands to reason.

Aeschylus Maximus Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Isnt that the end of the puzzle cause are we not supposed ot find her identity? Because One of the Microsoft directors said that he wont tell her identity because it is part of the puzzle and the person who gets her identity wins. Or is theres more anout her vanishing point?
