More randomness to pass the time while we wait for the next clue (unless someone steps forward with some revelation):

Nikola Tesla Coil Steampunk Electrical Stage Show

 

[NigelM]

New clue is up!

New clue is up!

let's hope it's the last one...this was really cool for a while, but it's getting to the point that I'm highly skeptical that the payoff will be worth the time and trouble people are going to. And I'm not amongst those doing the grunt work.

Binary? But not divisible by 8...

If that were the case then no newspaper or magazine would ever publish crossword puzzles since people never got a big "reward" for completing them. Sometimes the reward is just the fun of playing the game.

Here's the encrypted message translated from binary:

DRRM:/V.V.HYYMAKEQDAPY.TLJ/MDLRL/MP_YEFR.MDM?UF=1&AQ=0&F=2417031

We'll need another cypher...

 

[NigelM]

Thanks zax...

I missed a "0" so I update my previous post and the link should read:

DRRM://VVV.HYYMAKEQDAPY.TLJ/MDLRL/MP_YEFR.MDM?UF=1&AQ=0&F=2417031

Except, I think many people here ARE expecting a big payoff. No one who does a crossword does it for anything more than it is. The initial suspicions here was that this was leading to some big Tesla announcement. No doubt some will love it for just being a game, but I highly doubt everyone will.

so far i think this is mostly correct but it doesn't work yet so i need to fix something

http://www.keepandshare.com/photo/pr_edit.php?ui=1&as=0&i=2417031

I have tried switching the ui to vi

and the key looks like gibberish aybhdilkfmnopjgrstqcuwvxez

worked fine for me. log in with bugmenot/bugmenot:

Unless you meant that there's no image being displayed, then yes.

 

[raptorweb]

Yeah i meant no image but i didnt notice until you posted the screen shot ... does "Juliet Watthouse" or "julietsteam" mean anything to anyone?

EDIT: Looking back it looks like Juliet is referenced at other points also.

I think all of the names of the characters so far seem to do something with Tesla or EV's. Nick=Nikola Tesla, Juliet=Joules (energy measurement)

Agree. I'm starting to think this is an elaborate scheme to see how long we can be kept on a wild goose chase.

And it is "Juliet WATThouse" now, perhaps referencing James Watt.
Her account is juletSTEAM, so perhaps I was on the right track with the SteamPunk references.

I supposed "Liam" could be reference to "WilLiam" (Baron Kelvin)

So, am I correct that this Keepandshare account doesn't have anything uploaded to it yet?
Are we supposed to upload something there?

Do we have the patience to create 9 keep&share login accounts, and upload 9 red Model S pictures to "Juliet Watthouse's" account?

Or (yikes) even 17 gray Model S photos?

Not sure if that would be an appropriate thing to do.

Anways, let make sure we agree on a plan before people start uploading anything there.

What's Watt famous for?

 

[zax123]

Looks to me like we have the right account, but doesn't look like we have the right GET parameters in the URL since nothing appears. Unless this is where we are supposed to upload TO, but is that possible?

 

[Lyon]

Perhaps this is where we're supposed to upload our "proof" photos?

*edit* never mind, apparently that's not available to non-paid subscribers.

 

[NigelM]

You could be reading it wrong....maybe it is Juliet's Team = Capulets?

AND

Juliet "What-House?" = House of Capulet

The color of the House of Capulet is blue, the House of Montague is red.

We have to do something with blue now? Another "Proof" thread with blue Model Ss?

 

[TEG]

What's Watt famous for?

Yeah, I had made that connection...

...whose improvements to the Newcomen steam engine were fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution...

(In spite of Nigel's point that it could be "Juliet's team" instead of "Juliet-Steam")

Still trying to decide if the "regenerator" removed from "the little stinker" was a steam engine component, or an electronics transmitter component.
"Little stinker" might imply that it does have a little engine burning something.

But it is WattHouse not WhatHouse...

It really looks to me like we are meant to upload something to julietsteam at keep&share...

The What/Watt-House is a play on words....something our Game-Master has been fond of so far. You can't upload to Julietsteam without a paid account so I'd dismiss that idea. So far the "proofs" that have been most productive were here on TMC. I'd go for a "Proof: Blues" thread right now...the only question is how many? 9 again?
