just a page on Circumambulation.

http://www.io.com/~janebm/summa.html

Circumambulation goes to much into religion, but the structure of the Circumambulation could relate to the drawings on the notepad.

So then what is the structure? Is it the same for all religions that include or have circumambulation?

"Circumambulation is the movement around a holy object, or of a holy object. The completion of a circle of protection, or of community, creates an integrity that is otherwise difficult to obtain in this world. The application of this in religions is diverse: examples include the Hajj (the Muslim circumambulation of the Ka'ba); the Prayer Wheel in Tibet; the stupa and Bo tree in Buddhism; the respect shown to the Adi Granth on entering a gurdwara; Lavan; the Hindu "following the sun" around the sacred fire and, in the temple (and, in pradaksina, to go around any sacred object, person, or place, including the whole of India; the seven circuits (hakkafot) around a cemetery before a burial by Sephardi and Hasidic Jews. In Witchcraft the magic circle would be a circumambulation. A.G.H."

Right... dont think that has anything to do with vanishing point...

So far only 6 cypher keys have been brought to light. What if for instance there are only 6 keys, only 6 ways to progress to the next clue... So far we have seen a few other pages with the codes decrypted from these keys, what if those pages hold the clues with which we are suppossed to be progressing to the next clue?

Another thing, in the movie there are two history books displayed.. Herodotus and the one she reads which has a timeline of the Roman Empire, specifically about Theodosius... and the puzzle box with the statement about the monk who clearly screws up the translation of the word?

And the wav file that actually spells out file? The references to Pi... People, these are all clues we need to piece together... The clues are too co-incidental for my liking, too much reference to religion/s and history... WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?!?!

Anyone notice the misspelling on http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/now.asmx? Makes me think that the page is not being generated by the server and that someone created a static page to look 'generated'. All of these references in the game to time and countdowns and then this, another typo on a page talking about clocks and target dates. Caught my attention but does it mean anything?

No, its a generated page, and the typo is really a typo - the people working on the code made a typo, and since the page isnt meant to be used by actually going to the url, never bothered checking it for spelling. Has nothing to do with the game - this one is _just_ a typo -_-

This is probably totally unlinked but when looking at the countdowns for the other places London has theirs on the 19/20th which is the same time as this http://www.microsoft.com/uk/launch2007/dev/default.mspx so is that when the London Time could be ending?

I think you may have something. Thanks. I added the live meeting date as a reminder.

To add to my previous point...

Ah and you may have noticed that 20th January 2007 is a Saturday. What?s that all about? Well, we?re really keen to allow you to get your hands on these products as developers. So we?re building a huge room full of machines and inviting you to come along and write some code with us. We?ll brief you on an assignment then give you help to write the code in a two hour period, making sure that you get real experience of the platforms. And we?ll have some fun too, seeing as it?s a Saturday.

from http://blogs.msdn.com/ianm/ as far as I can see all the countdowns end on Saturdays and that comment kinda shows that this is unusual and quite probably has something to do with the Vanishing Point.... now it's just a matter of looking for Microsoft events in the other locations and times...

OK Just noticed a bit of an odd error being reported by Vista Ultimate (RTM) (Ok I Know !)

The reporter listing listed an error entitled IE_LOKI_INSTALATION stopped responding.

Has anyone got the foggest clue as to what IE_LOKI is, IE must be Internet Explorer but what is the LOKI part, and it seems to much of a chance for it not to be the same LOKI as our game.

Going on a hunt for a MS project linked with LOKI.

And HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL

Scrub That - Just found its a location search tool ?? from someone else, but I realy don't have a clue how it got to my PC, yep I know there is a link in this topic to it but I never took a look till now !

Did any1 try to contact any of the people who received laptops and probably clues? Because like someone said before making this laptop uproar is the greatest way to ggive us all the names of the people who got clues.

Aeschylus Maximus -

when looking through your sig, I noticed this line: CODE3: 3scap3grav1ty ?or? 3akix3ozidd1b (Leads to (smat ar-as) zenith directory 2)

I know it has been talked about before, how both of those codes work but the second one doesn't make any sense. Thus, it was discarded as "oh, well, we found it out too fast and so they renamed it to escapegravity"

WHAT IF we didn't find it out too fast...what if there is a way to apply some sort of algorithm to the first one to modify it to produce the outcome of the second (I think you grasp what I'm talking about) - after someone did that, I think they should try it on the other codes and then input those into the page...might just show us some more pages. Its the same sort of thing that people will do once they find out an activation code, to generate other valid activation codes.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
