*yawns and mewls as she sleeps, talking..*

Capitals?... Another dead end... Where to go?... Let me in...

*whimpers as she sleeps*

I may go to bed myself...

Good night everyone... good luck... and take me with you...

*curls up more so in the corner tucked under her wings*

(Teb.. perhaps where you place 'their' name is the problem. Also.. you may be missing a letter... I made that mistake)

speedy just PMed u! any response to that?
 
  • #2,005
i responded didn't i? i thought i answered the pm 2x already.
 
  • #2,006
got it.. probably slow
 
  • #2,007
i stepped out for a moment, any news? I am still at X.
 
  • #2,008
there's a pattern in the small grid.. turning A to D and D to G, etc, is made by counting 3 letters after the current letter.. if we start at X and do that, we go back at A..

i already tried this pattern on the capitalized letters but none of them looked plausible.. probably we're looking at either an eight letter or a ten letter answer..
 
  • #2,009
yeah we're aware of this.. but have not been able to connect it to the main grid or the capital letters.
 
  • #2,010
ciszkpia or maybe the wrong way
 
  • #2,011
should we add THE to the answer?

*acts as if she had found out how to convert the rest of the letters*

you're a girl, speedy? all along i thought otherwise :cool:

hmmmm yeah, is THE part of the solution too? it's also capitalized lol
 
  • #2,013
uh i just wrote "THE" there for a while because i noticed in the logs that someone had tried to get to the Gridimage and forgot the "THE".. though i have changed so you will get to that image even without the "THE"..
 
  • #2,014
boxcutter: okay there. how about another round of hint? any change in the source code is alrighty with me. :biggrin:

michael: yeah, but i kinda like the idea that everybody thinks I am a boy. its funny. :devil: :biggrin:

and oh, i think you know one of my friends-- hedges. shhhh... :wink:
 
  • #2,015
shucks.. I'm leaving now and i wasn't too much help..

i used the letter conversion on the capitalized letters (14 rounds already and still no readable or anagrammatic word)

:confused: another clue somewhere perhaps?
 
  • #2,016
hey reggie, i need another pad of paper! can you hand me over half of yours? :-p

my letters are all a mess. I am getting really weary about this. we got cursed again. :cry:
 
  • #2,017
hehe.. me too.. will be writing on walls soon.

However, I feel the mini-grid seems to be a kind of a key to the real map which is the main grid.

But I'm not exactly able to figure how..
 
  • #2,018
i did something with that and i somehow got a phrase but its not it. should i stop thinking about the 'x' thing?

im word hunting at this point

edit: i knda forced that one out but it had a pattern

  • #2,020
I finally got 56!
 
  • #2,021
Has anyone gotten further than 61 yet ? :)
 
  • #2,022
57 down too.
 
  • #2,023
don't worry zarii, we don't want to leave this level without you. just like #56 remember? so far i have nothing. that phrase i got was ridiculous, don't even bother. its garbage.

okey :P

Hmm..we have the capital letters.. maybe we should go by them in aphabetical order or something?
 
  • #2,025
i tried that once before but it all leads me to asking myself, "then what?"

the capital letters must be in order. and there's a double letter in the answer. the problem now is how do we use these grids? aaaaaargh!

  • #2,027

  • #2,028
can someone tutor me in math? why is the x placed there? there must be a reason...

*gives a heavy sigh while printing another copy of the grid*

Haha okej.. well then, good
 
  • #2,031
For number 58, I'm still missing the first and sixth letters; if I can get just one more letter I'm certain I can get it. those questions are so ambiguous though...
 
  • #2,032
ffutahw,
How many years of bad luck do you get when you brake something that gives you a reflection of yourself? [/color]
 
  • #2,033
zarii: can you perceive this as a board game? the big one being the board and the small one being the dice. i can't quite get to what i want to do. :confused: :confused:
 
  • #2,034
That's seems very random to me
 
  • #2,035
hmm... tougher than I thought. I must have one of these wrong.
 
  • #2,036
Speedy me leaving right now.. I've PMed you something.. check and let me know what u think.. quick
 
  • #2,037
But if we put in the litte grind into the big one where the star are on x.. and then move by it.. maybe
 
  • #2,038
Anyone who can make a word out of ?

LOL Do you see in your logs all of our wrong tries? You probably :smile: when you read them!

Btw, that "DarnYouBoxcutter.htm" wasn't mine! :biggrin:
 
  • #2,040
Just wanted to bounce the ones I have for 58 off of you guys, let me know if any of these are flat out wrong...

<
1) his reflection was shattered...
7: With Zariis assistance, seven years of bad luck for breaking a mirror

2) count the winds...
4: The four winds, north, south, east, west.

3) the wounds of our savior...
5: The wrists, the ankles, and the side.
Note: Trying 6 and 7 here as well to see if the crown of thorns and the whipping of the back are included. Generally is considered 5.

4) Optsprezece
18- Romanian for eighteen, simple.

5) It is perfect and the smallest of its kind...
1- going with 1 here, don't know what else it would be.6) If you throw me away, this burden will be lifted.
Not a damned clue.

7) misfortune.
13- thirteen is an/the unlucky number.[/color]>

Am I flat out wrong on any of these?

about getting to the squares of hell -.- the answer is right under your face.. it's darn obvious once you think of it

Why am I always missing the obvious ones? :mad:
 
  • #2,042
number 2 is wrong..and so is number 5(use google at that one)
number 3 is 5 so don't use six or seven.[/color]
 
  • #2,043
Hey all, just putting up my first post. I have normally been working with Seraphcode and ravenxi, but I have no idea where they ran off to. Anyway I am a little behind and playing catchup any PM's to help me along would be great

You're just overthinking them :P

You're right. :smile:

That x thing is only for the second part of the riddle, isn't it? Or is it also useful for getting all that letter stuff you are talking about?
 
  • #2,046
boxcutter: is someone even close to cracking lvl 61 from what you see in the logs?

Second part.. but let's just think about it..If the source code says "This is the first image" what image are you then searching for to move along?[/color]
