The PRE game fun...

About the sand and stars...didn't that come from the bible? (Not helping am I?)

Yeah, I believe it was... someone mentioned that within the last 20 pages.... Heh. Don't remember who or where though. =\

Ah, and konamouse just posted this over at unfiction..

okay.. i don't know if you guys have already pointed this out (i did a search and didn't find anything)... and this could be wild spec.. but i see again and again (via google and edelman's site) that edelman pr is behind the launch of many projects for microsoft and they are also the pr company behind skyhook, who happens to have a fairly new free virtual gps thing called "loki". i'm sure everyone stumbled upon it earlier but here is the link http://loki.com/

perhaps "loki" would be used at the live events?

FWIW-

I've been through all of the posts but I haven't seen this yet.

Sorry if it's been covered already; just thought it was interesting...

Since it's not even been linked yet, it's found in Gen 22:17 (also in Heb 11:12).

Notice that Genesis means beginning ... it does kind of flow with this ...

Did we ever figure out what "THe STaNDaRD" meant?

[SuperRob]

Now I feel like an idiot. The locations and times on the Circumambulation page are all for Vista launch events. Perhaps these are just where they'll be giving away things, and the rest of the Vanishing Point game is something different? One can only hope ...

Oh, and I think I figured out the "significance" of the candy wrappers. There are four and two. 42 ... a clue to who is running the game. Probably not much other than that.

Brilliant SPEC!!!! :yes:

[Accipitridae]

Heh, I was wondering if that might be it. Nice job! :yes:

Not sure. The PIN for the phone number was wrong, it needed a three appended to the beginning. There are three letters in lower case. Could be that.

the lower case letters spell 'eaa'.

If the following is 'our' 'EAA', this may be interesting.

EAA is the 'Experimental Aircraft Association'. Natural Point manufactures the 'TrackIR'

Natural Point will be an exhibitor at the 2007 CES.

<edit: adding references...

Companies That Have Already Released TrackIR Enhanced Games:

UBI SOFT ENTERTAINMENT

SONY ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT

LUCASARTS

MICROSOFT ...etc

/edit>

I've never heard of this company but it sure sounds interesting...

Except that there is nothing left to speculate about. This isn't the game ... it's the pre-game. The game doesn't start until January 8th. In fact, I'm fairly certain that we've already exhausted any clues that will be given to us at this point. We know where it starts, and when. We know generally where the other events will be and when (more precise locations will probably not come until the game starts in earnest). We know what some of the prizes are and have clues about the grand prize.

Seriously, what else do you think would coming at this point?

While I agree that this may just be the pre-game, we haven't yet exhausted all of the clues. The note pad is obviously a clue. I think the pixelation during the word timeless is significant some how as well. In fact, we haven't really gotten anything worth while out of the video (have we?). There has to be at lease a little more out there.

Maybe Microsoft is developing a new and improved, maybe even a VR version of the old Space Simulator game.

guys, this website is Part of an ARG (Neo Venus Construction - NEVEC). I really don't see any connection between it & vanishingpointgame

yea that would be why its got the braille in it :huh:

come on though, that site just looks like its been made in a day though its totally fake.

As for Herodotus:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography

Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one apart from the intended recipient knows of the existence of the message; this is in contrast to cryptography, where the existence of the message itself is not disguised, but the content is obscured.

The word "Steganography" is of Greek origin and means "covered, or hidden writing". Its ancient origins can be traced back to 440 BC. Herodotus mentions two examples of Steganography in The Histories of Herodotus [1]. Demeratus sent a warning about a forthcoming attack to Greece by writing it on a wooden panel and covering it in wax. Wax tablets were in common use then as re-usable writing surface, sometimes used for shorthand. Another ancient example is that of Histiaeus, who shaved the head of his most trusted slave and tattooed a message on it. After his hair had grown the message was hidden. The purpose was to instigate a revolt against the Persians.

http://www.neovenusconstruction.com/loki/

Try'd messing with this funny neovenus site, and the above gives a valid page,

simply has

111

yes just off centre over there in the middle of the page.

Now tell me it's got nothing to do with this game ?? loki = 111, anyone any ideas ??

Off course this could be a completly different game ? As could the vanishingpoint.com and associated odd sites. There looks to be more here than we think, indeed it could be there are many paths to the answer we seek.

Oh and those log in pages there anyone care to try them out see if you can get in to something else ?

http://www.neovenusconstruction.com/vanishingpoint/

sets up an unfinished page as of now, with ERROR but frames and button bars - unlkie any other of its pages

EDIT :

The buttons work , 1st one gives 111

I am not convined even wiith this oddness and the braile message that this is the same game but its very interesting and good stuff like most links, not sure why unFiction have followed to this page but the loki think is weird, but 111 is not doing much for me in anyplace at all. May be other clues around the site, it needs checking out who is behing it.

I think perhaps the notebook is simply to show us that the woman is Loki. The most obvious and direct connection is between that notebook and the www.vanishingpointgame.com/biography directory. The biography directory informs us that Loki is very smart and her notebook contains either highly advanced mathematics or imitations of such. It may be that all we're supposed to get from the notebook is that we should keep an eye out for her in vegas. That way we know what we're looking for... Possibly in a magician's costume.

I don't see any reason why I can't be at the Seattle event. However if there is a 21 year age restriction, I may have problems.

[Karl Sheldon]

The whois on the NeoVesus and Tpurbit Aerospace site does not match eachother nor do they match anything we have in this game, they don't seem to have a lot to do with Lost Planet either and as daft as it sounds could even be for real, if they were xbox game sites they would for sure advertise it someplace ?? or at least mention some clues - thay don't hint at being fake at all - Odd - Maybe Bill Gates has set up a home on another planet - is he goint to teleport to it and the winner will join him on his top secret space craft ?
