confusio Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 The picture of Loki in www.vanishingpointgame.com/shell_time.aspx is also interlaced. Can anyone tell what is shown behind (along with) her there? Looks like maybe a circle of brown hair. You mean this one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZuniTribal Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 this may just be a crazy coincidence, the boxes they used in the top corner of the puzzles are almost the exact same boxes from a Myst game. The puzzles they have been giving us remind me of Myst, you get clues in the world and use them to solve puzzles. I wonder if the boxes they showed us have any significance if we decode them using the values of the boxes from the Myst game. Each box stood for a number, I think. i realize its my first post, but I personally saw those symbols as gold coins. and they fit the theme of magic especially as well.

D-Cipher Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Call me crazy...but im either seeing a Pyramid in the background or a Nuclear Explosion.... Also...the "hand" on the clock to her right (our left) is pointing to 11..(or near)...any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toadster Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 How do we know for sure that the /CollectionPlate boxes are part of the Meta Puzzle and not a clue for a later puzzle (or a later puzzle itself)? From the beginning I (and we)'ve been jumping through hoops for the Meta Puzzle: Go to this site, figure out an email, make numerous calls, check out an itinerary, research buildings, make more calls... And then nothing on that front. Leaving that alone, we find the white boxes. 9/puzzle box. We start to put those together, and the collectionplate page tells how many we have and that we will be asked a question at the correct time. But... We could have found the collectionplate without ever calling the number to the former ATT building... So, are they related? What was the purpose of all the phone calls/research/emails if we didnt need them...? Both /CollectionPlate and /on_the_run say that she will soon ask us a question. That definately links them as part of the meta puzzle. I think we missed something. My guess is there is something on the fax that should lead us somewhere.

vidiot Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) You mean this one ? yep, maybe removing the stripes that make up Loki will show what's obscured ... Edited January 17, 2007 by vidiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Cipher Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 What do you think the SMOKE on the picture means? ....what about the SECOND BOX pic? MY ASSUMPTION .. you guys dont think this is relevant?? LORELEI KITSUNE Obviously this is a pseydonim..not a real name. I found one thing on the internet ... http://cork-host.blogspot.com/2007/01/pagi...ei-kitsune.html Reading that might give you some clues..... P.S. Coincidental that first name and last name both have 7 letters? Pretend you're dialing 1(866) LORELEI..which comes out to 866-567-3534 or (866) KITSUNE...which is 866-548-7863............Im going to try these out in a minute...but...wanted to see other's response about this................or am i totally going the wrong way??? P.S.S. Her name is definetly representing something...something related to the game...Lorelei = creatures killing fisherman....Kitsune = some spirit......not sure.... ALSO! I am looking at the FAX right now... It was sent on January 5, 2007 at 02:33 a.m......... perhaps Jan 5 of 2007 ......is 157-0233 ? add (866) ? NO? YES? any thoughts? P.S. why would this fax be sent from "LOKI" as an "Itinerary for : L KITSUNE ? She sent it to herself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Cipher Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 if we were to call (866) LORELEI ..... it says "Thank you for calling Clear_ _ _ Corporation..." Then it gives you prompts to enter an extension (if we have one)...or press 1 for directory, 2 for physical address, etc. ....ANYONE TRIED THIS??? if we were to call (866) LORELEI ..... it says "Thank you for calling Clear_ _ _ Corporation..." Then it gives you prompts to enter an extension (if we have one)...or press 1 for directory, 2 for physical address, etc. ....ANYONE TRIED THIS??? http://www.whitepages.com/10001/search/Rev...ne=866-567-3534 THATS THE WWW.WHITEPAGES.COM SEARCH RESULT FOR THAT NUMBER....it says Enterprise Alliances Cedar Park, TX 78613 (866) 567-3534 COINSIDENCE?

JohnY79 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Given that you guys still believe there is something there, here are some captures from the home page:(taken from the flash files) Interesting the anagrams you posted, particularrly "I DO SEE LIAR", Herodotus was know as the "Father of History" and also as the "Father of Lies" .... Cheers If you look at those captures they just appear to be making up "People Disappear" (i.e. the fourth box title), some of the letters go out of sequence but i'm pretty sure it's just to add to the effect. I really don't think there is anything more to it, but hey I could be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troist Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 the third and fourth boxes do have the same background effect on them, but thats like saying that the first 2 boxes are relevant because they shake in a certain way... just watch the fourth box and you'll see what i mean.

JohnY79 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hey, I emailed Loki... as done in prior posts... but I got 2 emails not just one? before I post them, am I being repetitive by listing them? Everyone gets two and always has done (as far as i'm aware)... First one from v-loki@microsoft.com, and second from rmailer5@microsoft.com (with the subject "Getting Warmer"), body text is the same for both.... Hmmm. Not quite what I had in mind. Try harder - then listen closely.~L Well almost the same, the second e-mail (rmailer5@microsoft.com) has extra line breaks... Hmmm. Not quite what I had in mind.

Do you think somone would have spent the time creating that "effect" for just two boxes? Why not do it on the first two? I think the eo el disa i r and the weird second frame lettering are important somehow...it's too blatant to be brushed off.

Very true, like i said before i'd be very surprised if it's anything more than a fancy background effect. Why on only two boxes...so much attention to detail by both the game makers and game players - why ignore something so obvious? Let's focus instead on why Loki's legs disappear in the second video.

dickey500 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Thanks Dickey.....I did make a leap of faith on that one....but thanks for the spelling lesson. I'm just saying that the lettering is clearly changed...it's not a simple letter subtraction but a manipulation of the letters. It also doesn't fit an overlay of the two titles -as someone else suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
