What's with the thingy added to my sig?

-NecroBlade

The Following Message Is a Summary of this Thread


What's that Thingy in my sig?
This is a walkthrough that contains hints, links and spoilers.

Some spoilers are hidden in spoiler boxes, but the entire walkthrough is a bit of a spoiler for puzzle purists.
Try to work out the puzzles yourself, and click the links for shorcuts to the solutions.

The links to the puzzles after the star appears (Event 8 ) are all spoilerific.
You've been warned.


Events so far:

Event 1: On June 16th, Necroblade found a funny graphic in his sig.
He didn't put it there, so he started this thread, asking what it was all about.

Event 2: It was revealed that Jessica Alba wants Truth's body.

(Not clear the significance of this event to the rest of the puzles. Perhaps more is to be revealed?)

Event 3: netherspirit dropped a HUGE hint, here:
http://heroscapers.com/community/sho...=301373#327190

Successfully entering the code here opens a new page asking for your Heroscapers UserName.

Event 8: A new phase opens as those who had completed the first phase by entering their username received a PM that read:

Look to the star to begin the second leg!

And a new star appeared to all Heroscapers on the menu right next to the Downloads link, like this: *

Click the star, and follow the clues to find the answers in posts new and old within these forums:
(warning - these links are shorcuts to finding the answers yourself.)

The first clue references the 1st public post by truth himself:

Somewhere in the post is a link... if you need more:

The next clue leads to a post by Ketch, one of the Arbiter's oddly enough:

These clues lead you to the Oasis and the the Secret of Nigh.

Those who invoked the name of the Nigh in a post in this thread received another PM titled "Summons:"

You meow before me,
The Nigh

Soon after,
through the invocations of some of our more attuned members,
the Nigh appears in this very thread:
http://www.heroscapers.com/community...=314647#340781

However, some did not believe in the authenticity of the Nigh. (Woe unto them!)
http://heroscapers.com/community/sho...=314912#341052

Don't doubt the nigh, or else.

And now,
we wait in the Oasis,
for the signs to tell us it will happen!

Thank you to AgentX-127 for providing this summary, and Thank you to NecroBlade for allowing us to use this space!

I changed the title of this thread so that it actually makes sense.

NecroBlade July 16th, 2007 01:28 PM

It made sense to me. Whenever someone does something random or bumps into me or something, I say, "Can I help you?"

I'm only expecting a bunch of cryptic, "that's classified," "you'll find out when you need to know" answers anyway. :roll:

That, Mr., is classified; you'll find out when you need to know.

You mean like that? :P

Dictatorbilbo July 16th, 2007 02:13 PM

You mean you don't know?

You're targeted. Metamorphosis. Only @ 'Scapers. It's imminent.

:unsure:

Aldin July 16th, 2007 02:19 PM

What are you guys talking about? :roll:

~Aldin, in the know?

johnny139 July 16th, 2007 02:44 PM

I was annoyed when I saw them at first, in everyone else's sig. I thought I was being left out of something. But then it appeared in mine, and I was afraid of demons infesting my already semi-unholy sig.

Now I'm just confused.

django July 16th, 2007 03:01 PM

AWWW C'mon I want one too. :cry:

funrun July 16th, 2007 03:08 PM

Don't feel left out of if you don't have a cool graphic in your sig :). We can't realistically put these images in all 3000 members' sigs, so if you want one just copy the image address and put it in your own sig.

markwars July 16th, 2007 03:09 PM

Be careful what you wish for.

Ketch July 16th, 2007 03:13 PM

you may get more than you bargain for.

deadeyedan42 July 16th, 2007 03:18 PM

Alright, who's the wise guy! I wanna know straight up who's doing this!


Because frankly, it's kinda cool. :D
