The REAL game starts... (Puzzle Box 1)


Recommended Posts

Sorry for the extra posting, but it seems Neowin forums doesn't want me to edit my own posts.

This is an update on the OTHER problem posted earlier. It only happens with Cuckoos, Pocket Watches, and Starfield (for me, at least).

I had already solved the easy puzzles, so I don't know if/how many of them are affected. I hope it's just a glitch.

BTW, my Austin countdown is still running: 18 hrs, 45 minutes, though I wish I could go but can't (no money for gas :cry: ) . The real shame is that I'm currently in DFW. Sooo close....--oh, well. I've asked a friend who lives down there to go for me.

If anybody has any ideas about the OTHER problems, my email is open: it1..SPLAT..cwazy.co.uk

Thanks!

Where are you seeing that events are canceled? The locations and countdowns still show up on the main Vanishing Point Game website in the Box 2 section...are you seeing something about cancellations on another website?

I agree with Moroz that Loki/Lorelei/Loreley wouldn't have to be wherever the events are if they are prerecorded like in Las Vegas. In that sense, she could everywhere and not even be physically at any of those locations.

That having been said, Azimuth would seem correct as far as the 5th (and true) location being the vanishing point and only location...IF, IF the other four are canceled.

If they do cancel the other four, I think that you'll have a boatload of enthusiast playing this game become eight shades of P'ssed Off, especially if they bought airline tickets and hotel accommodations.

Again, where are you seeing locations canceled?

Do you think that the white squares being clicked have something to do with the countdowns? Cause my austin location appeared cancelled after I went and found all the white meta squares that we know of.

Edit: Also, wasn't the old AMD building in Austin?

Editing yet another edit: ALSO, whats the point of five locations? WHY would they show five videos in five places at seemingly different times? If they are all the same video then whats the point, and if they aren't the same video that seems like alot of wasted time and effort to put in to a puzzle scheme considering by the time the first one ends the website will probably already HAVE the video uploaded.

Hello all... first post. Found the site after discovering the 9 white squares and searching for an answer. Anyway, thought I'd chime in on the cancellation... I imagine Austin is getting cancelled because I believe there is a major ice storm headed that way.

Also, while I'm posting, I should point out that there is a typo on the first page summary where it says:

Implying Loki's real name is Lorelei Kitsume & that's basically where we're at

that should be Kitsune, not Kitsume. Also may want to point out that Lorelei can also be spelled as Loreley

... also just noticed same typo in the summary here:

It also reveals Loki's name is "L. Kitsume"

Guys i swear i like the newcomers but this is getting out of hand. Maybe next next we could find out who made the clothes she's wearing or what color makeup she put on. Seriously the only one that looks like possibly anything is the stamps, but that was pregame stuff. if you haven't noticed everything else that was pregame is gone. You need to focus on what we're doing now and what we're going to do and be patient like most of us instead of writing down every thought that comes into your head. I can tell most of have read the previous pages but theres some that just stick out like a sore thumb. Go Back And Read The Pages. I agree with +Rich and that newcomers are welcome and yes we could use they're help but don'tgo and put crappy posts on here. I'm thinking about creating another forum or something and inviting all the guys that have helped out so far if anyone has any comments please tell me because i can already tell that come tommorrow when they unlock the next box we're going to get 20 posts a second on here and most of them won't be anything. I'm srry if you take this the wrong way but think before you post.

Well the only reason all of this is coming up is because all the puzzles but the meta one are solved. So people are trying to grab on to something and figure out if they can see anything else. I can see you agitation but really (me personally) an i think other people too cant wait to get the next puzzles so they do the next best thing: speculate about the only one that hasn't been solved. Its only natural i think

A lot of the images, spoted by the uses, look like the Windings2 images. Maybe i'm nuts...

Someone should probably take the time to "translate" those to real letters and see if that brings up anything. (Notice the interobang, and some time symbols, the same type of the "devil hooks as characters as the cooko-clocks

Windings.

GDESINR - U are right. There is a major ice storm heading for Austin. I live in Houston and was going to attend the Austin event but the ice storm is going to be in Austin and almost to Houston by then so I can't go. Dangit!!!! Anyway, I tend to agree with Boazer, there will probably be only one site. Like Loki said, "Things in my world disappear".... Maybe Austin was the first to dissappear?

Perhaps Austin was cancelled due to weather......(I'm in Texas, not too far from there, and we have Ice Storm warnings......just a thought)

Man I am glad I live in SOUTH Texas. Though we have rain this up coming week, it doesn't look any worse than the 60's. After you live down here long enough you actually forget that the rest of the country/world get's cold.

anyway I guess that saved me 11 hours of my life drive time just to watch a video :p

Amen to that THEQUESTOR, I can't stand the cold. Hope the ice doesn't make it as far as Houston. Do you think it is the ice that cancelled Austin? At first I thought it was going to be in one site since Loki said things in her world disappear and I thought maybe sites would disappear but now I have thought it through and it has to be the ice storm. Could you imagine people from all over the world showing up to a cancelled event? Not gonna happen. Too much bad PR.

Nasty stuff for sure.

And I just wanted to wish anyone in the storms path good luck and keep warm and safe.

my thought is that there will only be one real event. this would account for the different times for the countdowns- people dont know what time or place it will be- and what better event to cancel than one that already looks like its going to be nasty weather. on the other hand, it could be just an ice storm...

    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
