I'd vote for myvanishingpoint being out of game too.

Maybe, just seems weird it was registered by the same company 15 days before vanishingpointgame

I am not sure if this has been noticed, but IMO, TH ST ND RD stands for 4TH, 1ST, 2ND and 3RD; maybe this is the order for the PIN code provided:

ORIGINAL: 5813

"DECODED" 3581

If 3581 has not been tried, could someone do that?

Yup! that works. It gives the same message "Good job! Now go to the antepenultimate directory"

Edit: spelled antepenultimate wrong... corrected

Man why can't some 1 just hack vanishingpointgame to find all the directories;) it would be a lot easier:)

[edit] just tought of the login at NeoVenus, got the source but im not great at html, does this look ok/help at all???

It would be, but...

1. The flash codes are all verified on the server-side

2. Brute-forcing the directories could be considered a DoS attack

3. It's not as fun as trying to solve it :p

wow i just googled vanishingpointgame found that the people behind this are reveling each new page as we find them! google.com [search]

aslo theres this page vanishingpointgame.com/now.asmx?WSDL that makes no sense to me:/ but u never know.

[edit] oh and again a possiable, theres a picture at http://www.neovenusconstruction.com/de.html that looks a lot like its come from a game, mabe that could help?

As far as i know google works on the basis of "sites linked to sites", i.e. it will only show those sites that has been mentioned on the net elsewhere. This also means that unless someone finds a new part of the main site and links it in a forum like this, google cannot spider [read] them in.

Post number 1337 ;) Yes that was lame. I apologise.

I'm starting to wonder if there's much we can do before the 8th. I'm out of ideas for now but am just checking the non-puzzle pages every so often to see if I get inspiration.

Maybe this is the EOL

end of the line lool

:x maybe that was why the laptops "appear", well at least to some people :'(

Hey L0ki, give us a call if the game isn't over... :D

Neovenus is part of ANOTHER Alternate Reality Game for the XBOX360 Game "Lost Planet".

Here is a "story so far" on unFiction where this game is being discussed under the banner [NEVEC.]

Maybe, just seems weird it was registered by the same company 15 days before vanishingpointgame

OK, I see what happened there. The original code being input as 35813 was just lucky ... the voicemail system just ignored the last number, as it was designed to only take four numbers. It think this might be the first time someone figured out why the PIN was "wrong". Nicely done!

Ok, I know it's already been said, and I know the thread is 90 pages long... but PLEASE try to read through it. It's going to be silly trying to solve anything if you don't know where the game started.

As for this:

Do we have any proof that shes loki?

I speculated earlier that the purpose of the notebook was simply to show us that indeed the woman in the video is Loki. The /biography page obviously reflects an understanding of advanced mathematics that is reflected by the advanced physics seemingly represented on the notebook in the video.

Don't rule out the purposefulness of the content of the notebook, but remember: this is still all PRE GAME. It's just to give us a head start and get us excited. The real game begins on the 8th. We may just have to sit back and keep an eye out.

If there is anything left to do, it would be to e-mail the bloggers who recieved laptops and ask about a note from Loki and a cypher key. Can ONE person volunteer to do that? If nobody does, I will happily do that. (It would be good to post a draft first so that we can all make sure you've covered everything)

Anyone noticed that when you play the 1234.mp3 file fast and analyse the waveform, there is some sort of message hidden.

I tried morse-code. If you see the big vertical things as 'letterseparators' and the other ones as normal separation, you get the following:

short, short-long-long, short-short. In morse this is E,W,I. Anyone has a clue as to what EWI could mean?

Something with numbers perhaps? e = 5, W = 23, I = 8 coordinates perhaps?

That was already solved. Ignore the bottom of the waveform and turn it 90 degrees clockwise. It says "FILE".

I know we already discussed that taking over the company was a ridiculous grand prize, BUT

I JUST saw this on the news. Bill Gates announced that he will be taking the back seat in 2007 after 30 something years of work.

Bill is gonna be at CES speaking on the 7th, probably still there on the 8th. The game timer ends on the 8th at the same location where Bill is going to be.

He might be officialy announcing a retirement or something.

I know i'm a one post wonder but I have been following the clues and solving them myself. Kudos to the person who solved the Picross, and i guess the person who solved the Sudoku also. Sudoku's are too popular to not have been solved, I'm sure many people also solved it. Not many people know about Picross (a.k.a. Nonograms), so I was excited when I saw that clue. To my dismay however I was a day or two behind everyone. I stumbled across the orignal clue box here...

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/community/default.mspx

I love this game and am very interested in following along and contributing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was behind until around page 50 or so and that is when I was caught up and following along since then. I just now created an account because I finally felt like I have something to contribute.

The recurring pattern is that we are given a clue, then we solve the clue. It seems right now that we are out of clues, but I'm sure more will follow.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99.
