kindler Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 So can anyone get to the Austin airport and watch who gets off (maybe with a sign: www.vanishingpointgame.com or something)? See if anyone acts suspicious or takes notice or anything? Maybe the actual Loki might really be there? Doubtful, but who knows. Also anyone have corp connex to AMD that could tell you if any big meetings, events, or special people are scheduled to visit in the next couple of days. I thought about trying to call and get some of this info but doubt they'd tell anything, even to someone pretending to be "in the know." If anyone has any great ideas for a cover story someone could use to call AMD and get info, let us know... maybe we could actually find something out this way. Maybe if a female person called in and said something along the lines of "Hi I'm trying to find out the location of the meeting about the Vista roll out (or whatever)." She could claim to be L. Kitsune and see if anything comes up? I know I'm grasping, but its all I've got until Saturday. :wacko: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/529592-puzzle-box-2/page/50/#findComment-588239386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Cipher Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 People have been trying to locate LOKI for a while now via EMAIL...email numerous ussernames to Microsoft and AMD. Has anyone considered e-mailing to @msn.com; @hotmail.com ???? those ARE creations of Microsoft!

D-Cipher Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 IMPORTANT!! :shiftyninja: Microsoft is one of the worlds LARGEST corporations. Do you actually think because of a GAME PROMO...they're going to make a SECRET MEETING? ....NO ..they're not. It is enough they spent time to create the puzzle games, and a fictional character of LOKI (Loki, if you're reading this, dont get mad...you're still kinda hot...) .......so.....there is totally NO REASON to call Microsoft, OR AMD OR Bill Gates at 1-800-IOWNYOU........ So....forget all this. Im sure next puzzles will be a loot....and perhaps some of them will give us clues to GO BACK and search for something, something so NOT ESSENTIAL at this point, that NO ONE IN THE WORLD would bother. I mean, if we were to ACTUALLY RESEARCH every little thing in each puzzle (Curtains in this puzzle, clocks in this puzzle...yada yada..) we'd burn down Google's server... P.S. BTW, FYI, that branding on oneof the clocks.....Cole and K___ (sry, forgot )....MIGHT be an interesting factor....it's actualy a homosexual thing....so ....anyone wanna take a shot and guess what is the relevance???? Maybe grasping here but you can't even see these on the pages. Why are they there? lOOKS LIKE wallpaper or background on one of the puzzle.s.....any thoughts? i cant recall...im gonna go check it out :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/529592-puzzle-box-2/page/50/#findComment-588239414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Cipher Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 hmmmmm PUZZLE BOX 1: If you move your cursor over the gears (puzzles) 1-12..they rotate differently 1. CLOCKWISE 2. COUNTER CLOCKWISE 3.CLOCKWISE 4. CLOCKWISE 5.CLOCKWISE 6.COUNTER CLOCKWISE 7.COUNTER CLOCKWISE 8.COUNTER CLOCKWISE 9.COUNTER CLOCKWISE 10.CLOCKWISE 11.COUNTER CLOCKWISE 12.CLOCKWISE just an idiotic observation....DID NOT LOOK YET, but the CARDS also spin (in Puzzle 2) ...probably from Left to Right and vise versa....will check that too. P.S. ANY ONE SEES RELEVANCE IN THIS COUNTER OR CLOCKWISE THING???

kukatush Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 "If they need help they can always search for the vanishing point tag. Sigh. The vanishing point? ?It?s where things disappear, remember?" When I listen at this point in the challenge video I am sure that she says vanishing point "tack". Anyone else hear this? The fake Bird of Paradise flower is held in the video frame while she is saying this.

dbcooper Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Maybe this has something to do with the Bird of Paradise (flower) in the ignition video that she staresmeaning it has a double meaning most likel linking with the actual bird of paradise (winged thing) When did that happen?

ZuniTribal Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Interesting when she is telling the story about walling in her professor, she states it took him about 2 weeks to figure out how to crawl in the window. which is about the same time we have left in the game... or when she started week 2 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/529592-puzzle-box-2/page/50/#findComment-588239641 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modo100 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 What are the chances that to find the "window" and get in is actually a clever way to have the "smartest people in the world" try to break the new Vista - without success - as an example of the security features?

troist Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 we really are clutching at straws here... for anyone trying to work out how the flash works, the week with shell is here: http://assets.vanishingpointgame.com/shell.swf?weekparam=1 change weekparam to whatever week you want (they haven't uploaded weeks 3/4 yet... all you see is a "loading" screen that never loads) and the file with the week's interface is http://assets.vanishingpointgame.com/week01.swf and http://assets.vanishingpointgame.com/week02.swf its pretty strange that they have double digits though... if its only 4 weeks, why do 01, 02, 03, 04... nonetheless, this might just be a programming habit. finally, the week01/02 files just open external flash files from assets.[vpg].com/time/ and assets.[vpg].com/magic/ all of the actionscript is encrypted, from shell down to the puzzles themselves...
