I apologize if anyone has already done this, but I took the filename for the dot puzzle and broke it up like this:

00 5 16 3 10 7 20 20 19 3 12 0

Using the QWERTY keyboard as the key (as was in an earlier puzzle), the code spells:

THE PUZZLES

So, my thought is now that these dots are clues to where the puzzles will be found.

I think it had been done, but no need to apologize! Good job. I wonder if the '0's are supposed to indicate dots? Two at the beginning, one at the end -- a hint that, perhaps, each two dots yield one plaintext letter? Hmm, then what about the initial group of three dots (leftmost three columns)... thinking aloud...

Perhaps we need a Wiki 'scratchpad' page, with notes on the current puzzle, as well as the main 'game' wiki page, which should be kept neat. That way handy notes (not speculation) wouldn't get lost in this now-megathread.


Edit to expound: The idea being, once a puzzle is solved, describe it in correct detail on the main page, along with any 'extra' information, in a way that will keep the wiki editor happy , but the 'scratchpad' page is just a list of notes, image links, handy charts, etc., for the ad-hoc solving of the current puzzle only. When solved, move the data cleanly to the main page.

"The Puzzles" was part of a previous solution, the file name for the dots is similar to the code we had to bust. But your idea about the dots is new.

edit: McClean beat me to it.

Figured it had been done. The file name was 19 characters and 16 seems to be an inportant number. I figured the extra 0's were there for padding. Removing them leaves a 16 digit number.

Combining this with Nostradamus clue of the same format makes me wonder if these dots are somehow linked to his quatrains and, quite possibly, where the puzzles will be found.

Hey, good to see you here Free

I am just having a feeling somewhat, I dont know that the current clue with the post you know is a puzzle to figure out..
I mean the page has not changed any yet at game site

its just the post it links can either be clues, which would be a lot, or it would a new puzzle to figure out, i wish somehow HUNT or someone would let us know, especially about the last dot puzzle...

Aargh... still working on the last dot puzzle... got a little excited when I tried overlaying the dot pattern on a rotation of the top line of banner text:

01 *HEGRANDCONSPIRACYOFOU
02 HEGRANDCONSPIRACYOFOUR
03 EGRANDCONSPI*ACYOFOURT
04 GRANDCONSPIRACYOFOURTI
05 RANDCONSPI*ACYOFOURTIM
06 ANDCONSPIRACYOFOURTIME
07 NDCONSPIRACYOFOURTIMEW
08 DCONSPIRACYOFOUR*IMEWI
09 CONSPIRA*YOFOURTIM*WIL
10 ONSPIRACYOFOURTIMEWILL
11 NS*IRACYOFOURTIMEWILLB
12 SPIRACYOFOURTIMEWILLBE

23 RTIMEWILLBEREVEALEDTOT
24 T*ME*ILLBEREVEALEDTOTH
25 IMEWILLBEREVEALEDTOTHO
26 MEWILLBEREVEALEDTOTHOO

And the first word spelled out 'TIP'. But then the rest was garbage ('WOFECRRIRERDTEEAEO').

I am new to this game
but all the website says to me is
828021
nothing else not even in the source code

I have no idea how this works, as I'm relatively new and knew nothing of "ATS Games" before now. It seems to me that someone would have come up with this by now, which makes me think even more that this has nothing to do with anything, but I'll post it at risk of looking like a clueless jackass anyway in hopes it helps some.

THIS

And the only related ATS thread I can find

Please don't laugh too hard.

Hi everyone! I've been silently watching you guys do an awesome job and sorry I haven't been able to offer much input. I know that 828201 leads to clues but since it hasn't changed, maybe there is something in addition that needs to be considered (unless HUNT is getting some zzz's!!!). Just wanted to add some thoughts that might help or sorry if they have no significance at all but there was a lot said about colors also and could that be some kind of clue that this number could be a color also?
see here...828201

Another thing...this puzzle or clue is a GIF...I know there was something mentioned about changing, shifting, etc. Could this mean anything or am I just way out there in left field?

Thats a good idea. I just downloaded the image and opened it up in a text editor to check for any steganography type messages, but there are none sadly. It would of fitted in well with the 'more than meets the eye' clue tho...

Just catching up guys.

Lots of new thoughts, love the Braille angle.

"Additive colours" - could this be (don't want to sound dim) E numbers, like in food?

Probably not. Just wondered if anyone has narrowed down the list of clues on 828201 to see what is relevant and what has already been used.

Keep crunching.

Sorry, I've been gone a few days. I can't read the past ten pages yet, but it seems from the posts above mine that we have yet another puzzle to solve. It seems to be some sort of "alien" writing of some sort and for some reason I keep thinking the language in Transformers.

I'll have to see if I can translate it, but I do have a busy day of work ahead of me.

What pattern of "dots" go together to make a complete circle?

Has anyone connected like dots? I'm toying around with this now to see if connecting the dots will spell out letters. Or, maybe we need to match up the dots with their counterparts?

new image/clue. Links directly to page one of this thread.

A countdown for the real game as appeared aswell :-D

95 hours and 9 minutes to go

Also clicking the picture takes you to this thread

[edit on 4-8-2008 by Marshall Ormus]

grouping the dots together by type gives a number:


254432


I could be off on this....thread number perhaps? I tried this but got nothing.

Using that as a thread number I found the BTS topic Newcastle Untied: The Toon looking at Faye

Reversing the number came up with a thread asking about being blocked on one computer but not on another

It looks like some kind of ancient alphabet something like that

Heres a link to these alphabets

Well this one is not going to be easy. I dont know if its just me but i cant make out what the symbols are at the beginning of the three sentences they are too fuzzy.

Maybe this is just a picture and not a puzzle?
