Part two.

-+->Sixth Light (../6/FindTheDate.htm) Click the tree for a subpage.
 |    Title: Sun and Death Travel Together
 |    Page 'number': 2371
 |    Walls code(s): Outside: The Walls Are Closing In | Inside: BR 9g
 |    Clues: passing your mouse over the image changes the season from winter
 |           to summer and viceversa.
 |           summer.jpg has "Bad core.", "Coo! Bearded crab", and "Bore cad."
 |           photoshopped into the sky. These all anagram to 'barcode'.
 |           Every image 'inside' this light has one or more barcodes embedded
 |           in it.
 |           Barcodes decode as:
 |              "Even the darkness of night was different."
 |              "What was Paige's number?"
 |              "crownswordscepterm"
 |              "I scarcely talk to the cat anymore."
 |           There's one more barcode that is too blurred to read.
 >--->The First House page (5coffinsandoneempty/Vig.htm) Click the right-hand
 |                          window for a subpage.
 |      Title: A Perfectly Common Accident
 |      Clues: 'BOX', repeated three times, and 'SHOVEL THAT GOOD SNOW', both
 |             in the source code.
 |             "She was married to the Dolphin", in Windows 'Symbol' font,
 |             embedded in the left-side sky.
 |             A long string of gibberish in the source code, possibly Vigenere
 |             code.
 |             Barcode decodes as "The area had changed Mark"
 |             'Sad Lisa' lyrics, by Cat Stevens, popup upon page load.
 |             The image name, "undevilish net" anagrams to "devil in the sun".
 >---> The Closeup House page (5coffinsandoneempty/Near.htm)
 |      Title: ShovelThatGoodSnow
 |      Clues: ASCII portrait in the source code, of Blaise Vigenere. See
 |             http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_de_Vigen%E8re for details
 |             about the man.
 |             A very long string of gibberish above the portrait, possibly
 |             Vigenere code.
 |             [Ml6 8vk8lzxsv7 6I GDJ y1 FJ,] photoshopped (upside-down and
 |             backwards) in the window.
 |             [3sv8v wrw sv w8lk sr7 z2v. 4rtmv8v?] photoshopped into the
 |             upper-right sky.
 |             'Lonesome Suzie' lyrics, by Richard Manuel of The Band, popup
 |             upon page load.
 |             mouseover status message "poor chastener", which anagrams to
 |             "another corpse".
 |             Barcode decodes to "I was entirely alone in total darkness and
 |             it was utterly quiet."

The next page ... ???

[crazypeoplethink]

Does anyone remember those pages? I know they were posted in here before... that or I'm going crazy XD

[SilverPhoenix]

They were posted here before; you're not the only one who remembers them. Kris pointed to the first one via his cell-phone message, if I remember right. Given the final answer to the prompt that /4/ was supposed to hold clues to, I'm not sure they were anything but an elaborate red herring.

On the subject of /6/, it's been suggested that things like 'Shovel that good snow' in the source of Vig.htm are pointing back to prior pages as clues. How we're supposed to use them is beyond me, but I figured I'd mention the possibility.

only problem is, "shovel that good snow" comes up everywhere. even page three of /6/ is called shovelthatgoodsnow

i think i may as well just try every major quote in DDD.

[SilverPhoenix]

Okay, 'Shovel ...' was a poor choice for an example. How about... "The area had changed Mark"--it decodes from both one of the barcodes in /6/, and one of the Navajo texts in... umm... /4/, I think? What I meant was, perhaps there's something on /4/ that's meant to help with /6/?

I think I already have...

ah ha! but have you tried it in six different languages both forward and backwards and jumbled order based on both size and frequency of the word??
cause that would be great if you could, i cant be bothered

ok does anyone know who paige is? what axe is being talked about in regards to vigenere? if you are thinking of looking up "the date" of when cat stevens or manuel droped their guitar (axe) ive already done that and gotten nowhere

[SilverPhoenix]

'Paige' could be Satchel Paige; his most-used major-league number was 29.

the 'dropped axe' could refer to Eric Clapton, on stage with The Band when they recorded The Last Waltz; he dropped his guitar (the strap slipped) during his opening guitar solo of 'Further Up The Road'; Robbie Robertson had to step in on the spur of the moment. Recorded Thanksgiving, 1976, at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom, and released April 26, 1978.

Both of these are, I'll be first to admit, definitely shots in the dark. But they fit, especially Satchel Paige.

Yeah, why? :p

[Soup]

I am sorry to interrupt, but as an outsider, reading through the 48 pages of posts gives the feeling of sitting in a sidecar on a very interesting journey. One quick question, a 74 year old retired army colonel and a countdown date of June 6th (DDay anniversary), is there a link? Thanks.

[CidHighwind]

Another outsider. Ive been keeping up with thisisnotporn and this site as best I can, because it really interests me. You guys are also the leading edge in solving this puzzle.

I havent been able to figure out many of the later pages alone, but I have not read DDD, so it doesnt help. However, should any obscure references appear that I understand, I'd be glad to help.

Now, for a question. Is thisisnotporn being adding new pages every so often, or are people figuring out puzzles and finding new pages?

Also, june 6th is getting very close... whats gonna happen?

And a copuple observations Ive made about the second "Asia awaits" page:
1. "Asia Awaits" probably refers to the japanese books necessary to solve the puzzles
2. The binary in the .gif spells out "075 078 079 084" and that is ASCII for "KNOT"

Too late now, but at least I found _something_

it actually refers to the gateway to asia that alexander had after cutting the knot or something like that.
im thinking after the end of the sixth light we wont have anymore DDD references.

they only started when you "enter" the hotel dolphin on the 5th page.
theres a lot of reference to 6 here as well. the 6th page having 6 lights, 6 skeletons, 6th of the sixth. devil (666?) in the sun.

maybe TINP is the spawn of satan? and the 6/6 is armegedon?
i hope so cause im bored as hell (no pun intended)

[CidHighwind]

Okay, but one thing I dont understand: The lights page has 7 lights... And maybe my memory is bad, but I thought that less than 6 worked some time ago.

[atari]

One light isn't a link. Yet, anyways...

DUN DUN DUUUUN!

[Soup]

Interesting, I will be glad to help out as best I can as well.

[SilverPhoenix]

The very bottom light has never been a link, theoretically because it's mushed into the one above it.

And yes, Cid, the lights have been "turning on" as we get further along. (it started out as only one light visible, then became two once we'd solved the prompt to enter the first one, and so on. It's only been since 3 that all the lights were visible, and only since 4 that they were all links.)
