This is all leading to Dracula so his name must be tied in, We're talking about Vlad Dracula maybe? Tried Vlad, to me all the clues about Vlad might be relevant? Alternative antichrists or am I just again reaching at straws?

 

[Gale]

it said nero was close and i can't find any names that seem close to nero, or any other people who were like him.

Oops I left and I think I am behind

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

yeah 'sok I'm there just going off on tangents, Who created this, maybe he's the antichrist he's a bloody demon I know that much.

 

[dduardo]

Finally:

[Gokul43201]

Wooo...good 'un !

 

[JamesU]

I tried nothing.htm...didn't work...

 

[Gale]

man, i hate when were only off by something dumb like that... but moving on..

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Bugger I just closed the last riddle by mistake and can't get back you got it, good on you

 

[dduardo]

Found it:

Just remove the relic.htm part[/color]

The next clue is a 9.3MB rar file. Wow

 

[Gale]

i'm downloading the next zip... what could be inside. dun dun dun. the % virus free made me nervous though.

 

[Gale]

oh my goodness, well now i know why it says not to get lost.. that's a lot of folders to go through...

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Oh well glad to be of help if at all, and it's time for bed. Nero, huh, yeah first antichrist. And as some believe the first demon of the times. Well good luck.
If anyone can tell me how to get back in tomorrow from point 19? I'd Apreciate it, cause I'm not doing all that again.

 

[dduardo]

I'll use a little Unix magic to get rid of the verbose files and find the good file

 

[dduardo]

Well, I used "grep -RL Nothing *" and got the following files:

101/202/,.txt
161/80/,.txt
66/6/,.txt

 

[Omega_6]

After opening the picture I'm guessing it has something to do with phi...

 

[Gale]

well, i went to folder 161, then folder 80 and the file there says /moveon

oooh, enter that but not htm

 

[Omega_6]

But there seems to be more...

After that use <<deeper[/color]>>

 

[Gale]

then >> /free[/color]

 

[dduardo]

then >> screamandrun.htm[/color]

 

[Gale]

oooooh hmm

 

[dduardo]

We just did trial and error, but I see your point. We also kind of cheated by using the grep command to search the files instead of figuring out the folder from the image. O well, next riddle...

 

[JamesU]

hmm...let the past inspire you...

 

[Gale]

yeah, what was the room of your darkest fears 666? ok, then the room of errors in half? that was the other line of folders...

 

[dduardo]

Based on the library clue, I'm guessing that the triplets are the dewy decimal classification.

 

[Gale]

for this next one the "look for help in your local library" led me to the dewey decimal system. which is three digits, so that fits.. from there ...yeah, dduardo beat me...

 

[JamesU]

how about the "it is trying to touch you... listen to it"

 

[dduardo]

861 - Spanish poetry
289 - Other denominations & sects

The only one of remote interest is possibly 216

 

[Gale]

959 is history... ??

 

[dduardo]

Yeah, 900 – History and geography

This is from wikipedia

 

[Gale]

i got the same things from a different site...
trying to connect the lines... let the past inspire? that's why i thought start with history.. i don't know how to listen to anything either..

 

[dduardo]

If it is listen you usually append a .mp3 to the file. That's how it worked in previous cases.

 

[Gale]

yeah, but i don't know if it was literal this time.. just saying.

 

[Gale]

did everyone give up?

 

[heartless]

I didn't though I'm still on level 1.

 

[Gale]

hehe, well feel free to go back to page one of this thread if you need help. I'm pretty much stuck here all alone on 23

Sorry, I have to make this webpage for my school and they need it real soon, and I am lacking on design ideas...

 

[JamesU]

I'm back...with nothing...we need the other guys

 

[Gale]

yeah... my browser closed... i lost the page...

[Gale]

i just finished up some work, so I'm going to try again. anyone else still around to work on it?

 

[JamesU]

I'm here, I'll try again...

 

[Omega_6]

Yeah I'm done...or close enough.

So what is the deal right now on this riddle:

I. We are fairly certain that the numbers represent the dewey decimal system.

II. The only number that has to do with history is 959.

III. That whatever it is, it is trying to touch me...

What is the purpose of the connecting lines...its not adding up yet.

 

[JamesU]

289 is the only number that doesn't have another link...in the dewey decimal system, that's "Other Denominations and sects"

 

[Omega_6]

289 is the only number that doesn't have another link...in the dewey decimal system, that's "Other Denominations and sects"

Yeah, I tried messing around with that but nothing worked either...but it is definitely something to note...

 

[Gale]

same, i was trying to add and subtract things to no avail. i wonder if this is really all the hints we get or if we're missing something like we were in the first hall.

 

[Omega_6]

Probably, but I don't think it is refreshing because I have refreshed the page at least ten times...

Maybe the "past" they are referring to is a past riddle...

 

[Gale]

i was thinking that too. before my browser closed i was looking through old riddles, but i didn't see anything similar. i can't go back and check now though. only other time i remember seeing three digit numbers was the map

 

[JamesU]

Where's boxcutter, he probably knows the answer
