Mystery: Next Reference Project!


bonesiii

One of three levels of the Mystery has been solved: The next reference project is done, and is ready to go online within a week of today! A series of clues is hidden throughout my blog that can be used to figure out what the project will be. Two more batches of digital cookies are available to those two solve the other two levels of MYSTERY!

The two remaining levels involve:

1) The mask the eyes in the third image belong to and the hidden clue that goes with the eyes.

3) The scope of the new project, and what form it takes, as related to the three clues whose answers are identical.

One of the three members who unwittingly gave clues has been identified: Gravitan. Two remain. One is more obvious than you might think. The other is talking about the same thing the obvious one is talking about.


Ca'gerrin has figured out the first level, so he has won the first batch of cookies. Several other members have answered the riddles in the clues correctly, and my confirmation of those things forms another type of clue. All that is in the comment to the last blog entry.


I want to thank all the RKs, including a few who have had to resign due to schedule conflicts, for making this project possible! I'm really excited about this, and I think you guys will like it! ^_^ It's taken nearly a year, I think, to complete, and we had to overcome glitches and other technical problems that bogged us down, possibly indefinately. But that's all behind us -- and I'm am very happy to finally be launching this. :D

Continue to post theories on the Mystery. The cookies are getting cold! :P

Mmm... Are we gonna have something like a guide? And It involves the Wiki (Which unfortunately to the new project, is down)?

 

EDIT: another question, does It have anything to do with the BZP Library?

Okay, really going out on a limb here, but anyway:

 

One definition of avatar is "a new personification of a familiar idea", and these clues have something to do with forums, so perhaps...this ref project takes the form of a well-known previous forum idea?

 

I'm probably misinterpreting stuff here, but that's what I have at the moment. :)

 

 

(BTW, you do realize that you just made me famous with my name in this entry, right? :P )

As I said in the otehr thing it wil be new section with storyline that will guide us and give us facts fro better theories. Oh and either the blue mask or the eyes will be the logo and the eyes will link to that section.

1) I hadn't thought of that, but I guess that definition applies. There already exists one type of such "avatar" that everybody knows about. So it is a familiar idea. Simply a new one.

2) The ref project itself taking that form? I suppose you could say that... but that's a little too vague to eat cookies. :P

 

Ooh! Ooh! I know! :P

I'm trying to come up with some witty response, but I got nothin. :P

It will contain facts about storyline, yes. But remember, the third level of mystery is about the scope of the project. Basically, the question is, is this a little update, or a big one? And why? The answer must be tied into the three questions whose answers are identical. And the key to that is in the hidden clue that is in my blog. :)

 

The blue mask looks alot like a Kaukau. Something about breathing? Cows?

That was one of the two clues mentioned by a member, so I'm going to confirm that now. The fact that the mask resembles a Kaukau is important. But here, the number three is also important. The member that mentioned the Kaukau resemblance is ~Laughin'Man~. That should be enough to figure out the other member...

Is one new aspect of the reference project an updated image gallery? Maybe with avatars and banners (thus the pictures)?

 

Is the hidden clue in blue the word mystery? Because in the clue it has the word mystery in caps :P Will there be an un-solved mystery aspect?

 

EDIT: Is the third member .:-Tahulo-:.?

Link to comment

1) No.

 

2) The word "Mystery" in clue is the clue that will tell you how to find the hidden clue in my blog. :) Plus some other blue words...

You put "LOST" in blue... Are all the BZPower members going on a plane trip? :P

 

EDIT: I got the picture in the missing link! It's meant to link to the reference section :happy:

 

EDIT THE SECOND: I read the favourite Matoran topic and you posted another blue question mark. But the clue just said go to your signature. So does this mean that the blue link in your signature is a clue (bones's topics?)?

EDIT: Is the third member .:-Tahulo-:.?

No. Actually Gravitan was the first, and Laughin was the third. The second, the obvious one, is the one that has yet to be identified. Ironicles.

EDIT: I got the picture in the missing link! It's meant to link to the reference section :happy:

1) Lol, this is funny. :P Yes, "LOST" being in blue is a big hint, along with the words "On Mystery". Okay, so I practically just gave it away. Yall's cookies will need warmed up now. :lol:

 

2) Correct. But why? :P

EDIT THE SECOND: I read the favourite Matoran topic and you posted another blue question mark. But the clue just said go to your signature. So does this mean that the blue link in your signature is a clue (bones's topics?)?

You found the post, but the clue was just above the question mark. See anything in that post that comes in three?

 

No, the bonesiii_topics site is not a clue.

Because the new version isn't up yet! So there can't be a proper link :P

You chose three Matoran...

I'm guessing there's going to be a new mystery aspect to the RK project, liek unsolved mysteries...

Okay, trying to piece this together...

 

There will be a new reference forum which you will have most of the control over, being a Reference Master. The three things in that Matoran post are chroniclers, so the first topic in the forum will be one announcing three new RKs.

 

Anywhere near the truth?

I think he said there will be no new staff, but maybe they will promote three RK's to RM's... (or RK's to FA...)....

:o It said we just discovered the second level!

That means there's only 1 more...

 

I'm going to go over all the clues and start thinking...

well obviously Bones this is a big update/addition as I doubt we'd be playing for something little also you said that you've been working for a year on it so that's gotta be big. Oh and what do you mean by scope? Oh cuold this be mystery section for all unanswered questions as you keep saying mystery?

It's the logo of the project

 

EDIT: Bones what are the three questions with the same answer?

 

EDIT 2: Bones is the new account kind of like the FT account? Because I looks definatley shared.

1) Lol. Not the answer I was looking for. But true, obviously.

 

2) Yes. Which three, and why is that relevant?

 

3) The unsolved mystery is what the project is. The project itself is reference, so it is the opposite of mysteries. :)

1) Yes.

2) Correct; they're Chroniclers.

3) No.

You solved the second level! :D

 

And GB, you can eat some of those cookies for coming so close. Oh, heck, everybody that got clues right so far can eat from this batch. :) It's a big batch.

Now that A solved it, I'll just answer plainly.

 

The RKs used to have a mask symbol thing that switched between the blue Pakari of Takua (a Chronicler), and the blue Kaukau of Hahli (also a Chronicler). This mask is a coolified merging of both of their masks, as well as Kopeke's Matatu (except not gray). :) It is symbolic of reference in general; the three known Chroniclers (other than Kodan, but he's dead, Jim).

Yep, and many of you are quite close to the third level too! If anyone figures it out, I'll speak plainly. Note that the second level's answer is key to the third level. :)

 

well obviously Bones this is a big update/addition as I doubt we'd be playing for something little also you said that you've been working for a year on it so that's gotta be big. Oh and what do you mean by scope? Oh cuold this be mystery section for all unanswered questions as you keep saying mystery?

1) Yes! It's big!

2) By scope I mean this. Maybe we're just doing some new project sorta like the Set DB or the old Timeline, both of which are big. Or maybe... not.

3) No. My using the word "Mystery" is a clue to the location, in my blog, of the last hidden clue.

 

It's the logo of the project

 

EDIT: Bones what are the three questions with the same answer?

 

EDIT 2: Bones is the new account kind of like the FT account? Because I looks definatley shared.

1) Again, find the hidden clue in my blog, and you'll know. :)

2) Yes, exactly! It is a shared account for Reference Keepers.

 

My question is why it's the logo of the project. Not that I'm expecting a straight answer, or even an answer at all. :P

See above. :)

GB, see my answer in the other blog entry. :)

 

Updates:

 

1) Check out the blog sidebar. Two old clues have been removed, because they were all about the second level; the Reference Keeper Team account:

Check that out.

 

2) In that blog sidebar feature, the order matters now. :)
