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?

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?

You are already in it. As is everyone else. At the bottom of the page notice te word 'unus'
its a link to
www.blacklabyrinth.com...
which is an image. Its vibrating now, it wasn't before. The whole thing is a game the administrators have made. There were two other games that
were popular. There are no rules, not posted objective, no way to know if one is right or wrong other than to i suppose get 'the next clue', but
they are actual games and can be won.

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.
