Ok so I whois the domain name and find out that the record was created on September 17th 2004. 09/17. The ninth letter of the alphabet is 'I' the 17th letter is 'Q'.

IQ

Sim,

I have been wondering about BL, doesn't seem like anybody is playing lately. I wish there was a place that all the clues are listed in one place. I spent the better part of 1 hour yesterday looking at all the threads.

Anyway, I don't know about the IQ thing, I was kind of wondering about the image in the center of the "target", or maze or whatever. Seems a lot like the center of the image on my avatar eh?

makeisto, it makes you wonder if its a game at all or are we just that paranoid.

Ive thought about the frequency in which the image vibrates. Im even sure how you could find this out but it may yield half way interesting results.

Well, the other games were code breakers and what not, but I think that this one was supposed to be different. There was alot of talk about symbology of the labyrinth and such, but, ultimately, I think that this and any other game is going to have to involve codebreakers, how else could it direct one to specific sites and more clues and such?

Its also possible that ATS tapped out its codebreaker resources with the original game.

Well i wasn't exactly the best codebreaker in the rings, but im still willing to give it a go. My only problem is that i don't know what clues to use and i don't want to waste all my time chasing my own tail. As soon as someone gets somewhere you might here some more from me.

I don't know if we are looking for a link of some sort, a specific phrase or code, where to enter it if that is the case, if we are supposed to use the latin/translations to find these things (which seems pretty obvious) but as previously mentioned i have spent some time on this and got nowhere.

Just a thought, probably not the first time its been thrown out there, but what the hell....What if it is suppose to be overlaid on top of a map? If we find out where the center has to be located, the holes might pinpoint other significant locations.....?

That's all well and good but what Map?

I know that like myself, others have banged thier head so much on this and haven't gotten anywhere... have basically given up until another clue rears its head.

Well, it would have to be one that everyone on ATS has access to, so are there any maps that are in a common location on ATS?

what is BL, and how do I get involved?

I want in as well pleeeeeeeeeeease!

Didn't someone somewhere say that there would be a new trend in ATS games which would include players having to figure out if what they were looking at even WAS a game?

What is this BL thing I keep seeing posted? Where is it, it sounds interesting. Please do post a link or something to it. Thanks.

I was staring at the image for a moment and to me it looks like one of those, cant remember what they are called, old phonograph dials that have certains sounds which are words when spun i think...I cant remember how they worked, but there was a message on them...its a shot, but I am not sure where to go with this if thats it.

Has it been considered that the Lorem Ipsum might be a clue by itself.
It originates from "The Extremes of Good and Evil" by Cicero, and the Black Labyrinth points to the evil that arises (this autumn????).
A mere coincidence?
Is there a white labyrinth or something like that?
Actually only the first sentence in the background seems to be exactly from the original (I mean the lipsum.com variation).
Has anyone who knows Latin translated the 4 repeating sentences? Maybe it isn't what it seems. Or these might be lines that "by coincidence" are relevant, even if from the original Lorem Ipsum.

Did anyone get the translation? Part of it sounded like a riddle and the other part like an equation.

Sory I just started particpating in this if I am little behind

I didn't notice that the text at lipsum.com is randomly generated, so the part of my previous post concerning reference to the "lipsum.com variation" is false.
The riddle is interesting, but I don't know if anything with a clearer meaning has been found from it.
The 23 steps seems to refer to the 23 areas in the labyrinth, but nothing has been proven by getting to a next clue.
The backgroung might be something interesting (as it is message.jpg), but nothing of any importance hasn't been found from it. Might be some form of steganography.
