Same here. If that's not it, then it falls into the category of "Illogical Solutions Involving Massive Guesswork" riddles (also known as ISIMGRs). Which I hate tongue.gif

Is your file name t.gif? Because that's all I got, man.

That's as far as most people get. But what is t.gif? You have most certainly heard it before.

matchu- 06-01-2008
...really? If so, I'd expect Google to be more familiar with it than I would be =/

Qix- 06-01-2008
Perhaps it will be more familiar to you with a slight change?

(Don't think of it in terms of a computer file.)

matchu- 06-01-2008
...interesting.

I see the reference now.

Now to somehow link it to a proper filename... xD

We're only spamming up this topic as an attempt to find insight as to what the mystery is. tongue.gif

EDIT: I MADE A RIDDLE, LOLSIES

It's on my friend's server (although he doesn't know it's on there >_>): omg riddle

Get it while it's hot; his IP changes.

Zeldadudeface has solved Phase 1!

QUOTE (Phase 1)
13 3 17 8 9 16 0 7 19 22 9 12 26 23 8 4 22 24 19 12 12 8 22


The following invisihints were also included:
QUOTE (Invisihints of Doom)
a retrospective / zgyzhs


The first key was to realize that, of course, this was an alphanumeric code. After putting the second half (the part after the zero) through an A-1, Z-26 cipher mechanism, one gets:

QUOTE
gsvilzwhdvxsllhv


The second of the invisihints, "zgyzhs" is Atbash for "atbash." Use Atbash on this string of letters to get:

QUOTE
theroadswechoose


The "retrospective" hint comes into play now, when you find yourself looking up the album: The Roads We Choose - A Retrospective. You find yourself with a list of tracks, which is what the first half of the numerical string - "13 3 17 8 9 16" - was referring to. Take the first letters of the 13th, 3rd, 17th, 8th, 9th, and 16th tracks to get the word "shabby."

Geez, I'm setting quite a precedent for Partay Riddles, huh? xD

Zelda made Phase 2; enjoy! (The solver gets to write #3 ohmy.gif)

Qix- 06-01-2008
Ok, that explains it, the 0 in the middle had me stuck.
We should move this to the riddles thread...

zeldageek- 06-01-2008
noooooo

We should keep it here, in case it triggers any changes.

The root administrator of this forum, jaxpylon, lives in Brisbane.

I see..

The text down the bottom just changed to THER!! I saw it. I said TH just a second ago!

zeldageek- 06-01-2008
Hm...

THERE WILL BE BLOOD!!!!1@@#7rfudge

Or maybe "Thermal temperatures can kill a man."

Maybe just "THER".

Protactinium- 06-01-2008
It's interesting that yesterday, the message went from T to TH and now it's jumped to THER. Wonder if it'll be THER**** next...

matchu- 06-01-2008
Hmm. So according to the countdown, it should be 3-4 more days?

zeldageek- 06-01-2008
No, it updated last night and a few seconds ago. I don't think it's a countdown anymore. I think it updates whenever jax sees fit.

matchu- 06-01-2008
Hmm? Jax?

I thought we were calling him "mystery admin" D=

Then again, who am I kidding? I'm sure I've made that slip at least once this topic, right? xD
