THERE VILL TEN
CODED QTEST_ONS
EACH NEEDING AN
ANSWER
ALL REVEALING A
FINAL QUESTION

Where was the coded symbols that translated to found? (I found it just now by messing with image names. How was it originally found & how did they find it? I read through the posts for mwhere I left off and saw someone mention it, but don't understand how thay found it. Was it a link that changed like whatistheconspiracy.com has changed a few times?)

The parantheses links are gone and the What is the Conspiracy link takes me to the group of sysbols that ends in a cross. (the "When will it start?" things)


For others like me that missed some stuff, there were 3 photo clues so far:

In keeping wit hthe theme of my other post, I thought "it" in "when will it start?" could be a user name. I checked it out and It has a profile and is listed as my friend and a whole lot of other people's friend. And he registered in 1969.

The 1969 MAY be a unix thing, but Ifind it suspiciuos that The Sign and IT are both actually members and both have a register date of 1969.

check it out.

Drat, guess I shouldn't have gone into work... gotta get my priorities straight!

chubby fingers crakeur.

thanks man. appreciate it and as posted above, don't take into account anything I say here. I'm an idiot.

but I did applaud you for a post. must have been my chubby fingers accidentally hitting a button when I meant to pick my nose.

So what, do we all just post our answers when we have them? Here's mine:

Question: when will it start?
Answer: August 8th, 2008

Or do we save them up individually, for use in deriving the super-secret answer?

I think we should help eachother out, especially for now. I'm sure in the end, there can only be one winner, but we all need to work together to get to the end.

Use the force Luke.....

Lol... you're only saying that because I agree with your guess.

Perhaps.

That, and I know I work better when I have other people thinking along with me. It's better to have another perspective.

excellent, its definitely a game, this should be awesome

can we have a definitive update on what we know?
is it wingdings?

Well I`m back. And i see that nothing has happened?

cool

You know Crakeur. If it weren`t for the misses, I wouldn`t have gone to the movies
Got to keep the misses happy

But we havent gotten further than speculations of the date?

And if it isn`t 08.08.08, it HAS got to be something else

I also got an applause, right before i went. And that had to do with not answering the question. That we had the Question, but not the answer.

All's fair in love and games! Anything that doesn't actually damage the server is fair game, I guess -- eg, trying different random image names, directories, etc. Dunno what the limits are -- guess it's up to a mod to clear that up, if they want.

some tips and thoughts on the games (being serious here, 100% serious)

teamwork is essential in the games. In previous games there were different prizes. One game the prize was the website itself, with built in traffic and, therefore, built in advertising revenue. Other games had mini prizes of books and dvds and I won one of thesein one game.

I'm not sure how this one is going to work but in previous games, you got an answer and moved on and everyone worked together providing thoughts and researching different ideas. We spent countless hours in chat tossing ideas around and laughing our collective butts off. Yes, eventually, only one person wins but getting there is a blast and trying to do it alone is nowhere near as much fun working with new and old friends. I had the final answer to everything about a half hour before anyone else did and I couldn't confirm the answer (confirmation was a tricky puzzle in and of itself). I spent 30 minutes trying some of the dumbest stuff you could imagine. I was pumped full of adrenaline, the excitement of winning was amazing but then I realized a couple of things. One, I had no idea what I would do with the grand prize (the website) and even if I did want to run the site, I had no idea how to do that. Hell, even now a year into my being a part of the business end of this site and I still don't know how things work. Second, I was talking to ten or so friends in chat when I figured out the last answer. We had all been trying to get this final answer and we were all throwing things out there for discussion and I got it. I never would have figured out the answer without these guys. I never would have moved from question one to question two without them. some of the questions took more than a week to answer and these guys worked around the clock trying to decipher the puzzle. These guys spent hours and days and weeks posting urls all over the place to build up the traffic per the game's requirements. Without these guys and the others who weren't in chat at the time, I would never have continued with the game. So, after a very short period of time, I told them the answer. Oddly enough, they all tried to figure out how to confirm it but nobody pulled the trigger as they all tried to get the prize for me.

Here I am, not wanting the prize and they were still trying to help me win it. That is friendship and teamwork and that is why you play these games.

Just checked www.888.com... it's a casino site! Dunno if it's real (looks real), but the logo in the upper-left says:

Enjoy the game


Lots of annoying pop-ups, though... if you click okay on the entry page, it downloads a .exe file. I would not recommend anyone try running it!

Actually, it seems like a normal/real online casino site -- just though the logo coincidence was funny.

Great post, crakeur!

I would be very interested to hear which of secret titan´s posts you applauded

thanks for posting that.

i keep having to check back a few minutes at a time. because of work. im getting lost on how we have gotten this far.

we need another thread, or a wiki site to post each step. so people can follow all the advances.
