Well, those are the answer. But you want your cookies baked, not vaporized.

Nope, that's not the entry. The title to the entry is the key. Nice try though.

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.

The one thing you are wrong on is this: The new forum will not be because of the new reference section.

You're running out of time, so I'll begin to speak more plainly.

To find the hidden clue, you gotta know the title of the bones blog entry in which it has been hidden. I have given the title in blue letters. You have what you need. Go!

2) Correct. But why?

 

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

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

 

You chose three Matoran...

1) Lol, this is funny. tongue.gif 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.

 

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

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.

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?

1) Yes.

2) Correct; they're Chroniclers.

3) No.

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...)....

*warms up cookies*

You solved the second level!

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.

Kaukau allows you to breathe in water...

Anything to do with Mahri Nui?

 

Did I give a clue by accident?

 

~Lih

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).

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...

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.

See above.

Bones can you at least tell us what the three Qs with the same answer are?

The clue that's hidden in my blog basically tells you that. Find it... and you'll know.

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.

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

 

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

1) Lol, this is funny. 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.

2) Correct. But why?

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.

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...

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? )

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.

Ooh! Ooh! I know!

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

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.

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...

Hey I'm guessing that you'd be moderating the new section and we'd need more mods so people would get hired. Oh adn the mssing link will be to the new section Oh and the logo of that section will be the blue mask. Come on Bones I need this

I will be modding the new section. Technically speaking. The link will indeed be to the new section. And the logo will be the blue mask. But we won't need more mods. There would be no reason we would.

You're sooo close. But still thinking the wrong meaning of "section", it sounds like.

But you and Adv. have come close enough that you'll get to eat at least a few of the cookies whenever someone wins 'em, if it's any consolation.

Seriously, nobody's found the hidden clue yet, lol? It's in my blog. I've given clues as to where in my blog it is, with blue letters. Should be a dead giveaway, lol.

1) Yes, "something like a guide" applies.

2) No.

2) Am I close in it's a new forum? I think you need to read the other evidence I put there:

 

EDIT2: To the second point: Your three staff writings fits in with the new forum idea: It would be a reference forum (reference writing), you would moderate it (moderation writing) and there would be a news article about it (news writing)

 

Edit to your edit on my edit2: The mask will be the symbol of this new forum and It will be used as a forum to discussed updates etc... in the new and improved reference section....

 

EDIT The Third: Is one of the members that gave a clue Gravitan?

 

EDIT The Fourth:Good night

You are close, yes. It does involve a forum, and that is why Gravitan is one of the members that gave a clue. However, both you and he are intending the theory incorrectly, so you're still wrong. I'm tempted to give you an award for effort... but you've got something backwards.

Yes, my three writing types are what you say.

OMG I got in now.

 

A new forum. Another Reference Forum. The brick will be your new Ref. Master Avatar. Dume will be unbanned on BZP's Birthday. The new forum will come also on BZP's next birthday. Dume will be one of the people in charge of the forum.

1) Yes!

2) Yes.

3) Well, not my own, no.

4) If he will be, nobody told me.

5) No. Current plan, but don't quote me on this, is we go public tommorrow. Thursday. So yall have basically one day to win cookies. But we still might wait till Monday, so keep that in mind...

5) No.

I got it.

 

It was Prof. Plum with the candlestick in the Billiards Room.

 

-Omi

Sorry, no, it was the wrench. Oh, what what? Right....

Me thinks me got it:

 

The RK Project will be split into 3 parts.

 

BIONICLE News, Reference and Moderation of events (Predicting, Theorying, whatever you call it).

 

 

~ Bioran

 

EDIT: Edited post so that Bones know this is an answer and not some insane post.

No. Good thinking, though. The RK project is totally about reference. You guys are misinterpreting the three images and what the two link to. Here's another clue (and don't forget the hidden clue to the Mystery!):

The RK Project will be split into 3 parts.

 

BIONICLE News, Reference and Moderation of events.

 

 

~ Bioran

 

Moderation of events? What does that mean?

Predicting what will happen based on events.

 

~ Bioran

No. We already have S&T for that. That is not what the Mystery is about.

OOOH! I know! This is your take on "taking us to the question mark" is LOST, right? Well, Mr. Eko thou art not.

 

~EW~

Ya, lol. And I would never claim to be. This is certainly nowhere near as brilliant a Mystery as anything LOST does.

Okay, I won't log off juuuuust yet...

For the first point: You guys haven't made a deal with LEGO and agreed to make Tohu Mata Nui ? That would make sense since "god incarnate" would suggest we get to see a god's form...

 

Second point: Well you'd be moderating a new forum so that sort of relates to your three staff positions and Tohu would approve of a new forum (getting a bit insane here )...

 

EDIT: Is this new clue in a content block? Will it be a question mark?

1) No, lol.

2) You are getting warmer. I'm tempted to give you an award, but you haven't quite hit what I'm driving at.

3) It will be a question mark. Other than that, you're on your own.

Edit: To your Edit2: You are now even closer, although I'm not sure in what sense you intend the theory. I cannot deny that theory.

Edit2: Sorry, but good night.

This is so extremely confusing. My first sentence was the warmest.

 

"god incarnate"

 

The answers to the three clues are identical...

 

question mark: has something to do with reference keeper/reporter/moderator.

Tohu: Do Not Know

Vahi: Do Not Know

Eyes: Avatar-God Incarnate.

You got warmer when you quoted those two words. Those are the two words that don't apply in the sense of the original meaning of "avatar".

Tohu

Vahi

Mask

 

Are you getting a picture of Mata Nui by any chance? That would make sense with the avatar thing

 

Is there going to be a new reference forum or something?

1) I suppose it would make sense. But does that fit with other clues?

2) Likewise; I would like to see how this idea fits with the clues, in your mind.

Edit: And don't forget one of the biggest clues I've given. I'll put it in the question mark so it's easier to find:

Well, I'm very tired over in my timezone here, so I think I'm loggin off for the night. It's been fun, and I can't wait till we go public. I think you guys will like it.

Tohu

Vahi

A mask

 

Well the Vahi and the masks are both masks, so maybe there will be a mask section or something...

 

How does Tohu fit into this...

 

Is the masks Tohu wearing the Vahi?

 

EDIT: Yeah I meant to

No.

I'll give one more hint. You and some others have been thinking through this one quite thoroughly, but you're still missing something about the three:

Well, based on the Vahi, here's a question:

 

Are you working on a Bionicle wayback machine?

 

 

~D

No.

OMG I have it.

 

An avatar is an incarnate of a god. Tohu is a god. You are going to do something related to Tohu descending as a god, wearing the Vahi?

No.

But you are close. Your first sentence is the warmest of the three.

Dang, that number is everywhere, lol.

Two words do not apply in the sense of the original definition of the word, however.

Edit: And beg pardon, but Tohu is not a god. He's more like... a Great Spirit or something.

NO! You are goign to MOC Tohu as an incarnate of a god, and you will make him a titan of time, wearing the Vahi!

Has nothing to do with a MOC. Nor with Tohu wearing a Vahi. The three images are seperate.

Wait, is the Expanded Universe going to be included in the reference project? Then is Tohu, who is in the Expanded Universe going to be in it? Wait, is Tohu in the Expanded Universe?

The EU is not part of the project, no.

And these to new aspects are related two:

 

Tohu

Vahi

A mask

A question mark with a brick on it...

 

Will one of the aspects be a Mask section? And the symbol will be the question mark with the brick on it

You meant "two" and "to", right?

The question mark is only symbolic of the mystery. Won't be part of the project. Well, there is the color blue involved, and I'm sure there's gotta be question marks lol. But not that symbol. So if you remove that from your list, what do you have?

By Golly I've got it! You are going to make an avatar of Tohu as an amazing god or almighty being and put it on your Brickshelf!

Lol, no. I already made Tohu avs -- that's what that image up there is. That was an art project ages ago. Has nothing (directly) to do with this. Good theory though.

Not specifically "sections", no, but you are trying to figure out two aspects of the RK project. Yes, all three levels are about the RK project.

Is the news one a special news article or a news-team project?

Neither. You are overthinking it.

Edit: Oh, fine, I'll help you out some more, lol. Remember all of this is about the RK project. Not about news. There will, of course, be a news article when it is launched. But that's not what I mean. Remember the number three.

Was the S&T one the incorrect one? If it is I'm going to guess Invasion Gallery would replace it, so:

 

1) IG

2) RK

3) News Related

S&T was the incorrect one, yes. And you're getting colder now.

3) And I suppose that's slightly closer. But there's just one nitpicky problem with one of them so it's not totally correct.

 

Is it the order or the content of the list?

 

EDIT: What was the answer to the one that was solved and which number was it?

You mean levels? Level 1 was answered. The answer is that this mystery is about the latest RK project. In other words, it's done. Ready to go public soon.

And it was the content. Order doesn't matter, per se. Try to think about whether you're overthinking it...

I won't give another official clue, but I will reveal that two of the members commenting here have inadvertently provided clues. That's two more clues, somewhere in the comments to this blog entry. Just not with a blue question mark attached this time.

Actually, there are three such clues. Ironically enough.

EDIT: The number three keeps coming to me, you have three staff positions, there are three levels... Is there a level to each of your staff positions?

I'm glad you noticed the number three. I don't see that your last statement applies, though, no.

ZOMG Bones the BZP part of EU is gonna go up? It makes sense new division new jobs. Even when Bioran mentioned the RK's you guys are gonna be the staffies of BZP EU. Oh nad blue mask is the Log of the BZP EU.

Heh. No, if that was the case, Swert would know, and I would have had to say BS01 staff couldn't play either.

There is no new job; I think you misread earlier...

Good theory, but no.

Please don't tell me your retiring

 

Anyway, we have the reference mast level completed. Can we have one more clue Maybe which clues go with which level?

EDIT: Is this closer:

L1: S&T

L2: RK

L3: News

1) No, lol. Not retiring. Have no plans to ever retire.

2) I won't give another official clue, but I will reveal that two of the members commenting here have inadvertently provided clues. That's two more clues, somewhere in the comments to this blog entry. Just not with a blue question mark attached this time.

3) And I suppose that's slightly closer. But there's just one nitpicky problem with one of them so it's not totally correct.

Edit: I'm onto you, Survurlode. Swamping the server as soon as I confirm the reference project is ready. I know you're mad because you tried to stop me at every turn. Well go ahead, make my day.

Or don't. Please don't, come to think of it...

The three kinds of writing as a staff member you have done are:

News Rerports

Reference Section Making

And I'm taking a guess that the last one has something to do with S&T writings...

Correct, although not quite in the sense I expected. You guys are close to level three now.

The 3 Divisions of BZP are News, Reference, and Discussion.

You are part of the staff of all three: News Reporter/Reference Master/Moderator.

Am I onto something?

 

~Lih

You most definately are.

Is there a reason why you used your versions of the Vahi and Tohu?

Yes, because the "rkav" image is in my coolified style, so it made sense to correlate the other two images. Not a huge reason; it's part of the structure of the clues.

What do you mean by the other 2 levels?

Read the clues.

Since you're using Coolified stuff, is the RK project going to have Coolified graphics?

 

 

~D

Besides the one you found, no.

The RK project? That image show up twice more in bonesiii's gallery, with the name "rkav"

 

RK is "Reference Keeper", right?

 

 

~D

And bonesiii is the Reference Master, so he technically wouldn't be taking on a new job if it has to do with the RK project.

 

 

~D

Thaaaaaat is correct! Honestly, guys, it took two pages?

And you figured out the first level of mystery. The brick has to do with the second level, not the first. Ironic; I thought you'd get the second. But anyways, without further ado:

And you can consider part of that a reward for finding the brick -- that was on my shelf for months, and nobody figured it out, until you did. Good job!

Now how about the other two levels? They're the most important levels.

Edit1: Oh, and Bioran, you can eat a cookie from that batch too, 'cuz you did guess correctly.

Edit2: Oh, and the other clue. It was partly targeted at the first level, but also the third:
