I was so sure someone was going to crack this while I was away for the weekend. Alas, no one has, and there hasn't been an update to the site. Evil or Very Mad

Personally, I'm at a loss as to what to try next. I've gone through a bunch of differnet passwords for mace's account. I've googled a bunch of stuff on the Undertaker, wrestling and tattoos, and have tried numerous english, french, japanese and rot passwords and have come up with nothing.

Anyone else have any other ideas?

Whee! Nice to know bitching gets me hints Wink

I'll try not to abuse it tho. Laughing

Since I can't read Japanese, I"m not going to even make a hint as to what it says (unless it turns out just to be some random substitution). The other part of the picture does have me wondering though. I know that the Undertaker has a lot of tattoos, even one on his neck that says "Sara" (the name of his wife). I wonder if the x'd circle means that it's not dealing specifically with the Undertaker (but then again, I thought dbuta's login name was sysadmin until it was found - so what do I know).

Anyway, I have a bunch of stuff I'm trying to get caught up on tonight (travelling 4 hours to see a BNL concert means your whole weekend is shot - but still totally worth it), but I will start trying things again tomorrow if its not solved by then.

The text on that pretty infamous Japanese sign essentially reads "People sporting tattoos will be reported to the police" and is a reference to the negative stereotyping of tattooed individuals in Japanese culture due to association with the Yakuza.

Heh, good work. I didn't even take the time to try any new passwords after I did my little post. Though its still not really relevant to the clues he gave...unless the Undertaker has some sort of Yakuza connections I'm not aware of. Maybe Daniel's last name could be taken as Japanese...that might explain it a little. But its not really a Japanese name per se...its Japanese for pig...

PS -

Daniel's page is updated with mention of Jill...

Here's some more on the monkey and apples:

http://www.csi.edu/ip/englfl/faculty/cdraney/1_fall2004/engl175-c01_lit/etexts/oconnor_good-man/33.1schaum.html

"The mischievous Monkey King of Chinese lore stole and consumed the Peaches of Immortality that belonged to the Taoist gods, just as the Norse trickster Loki introduced age and death into the world by snatching away the Apples of Immortality and tricking their keeper, the goddess Idunn."

on a completely unrelated topic, has anybody else received any e-mails from anyone in-game? i got something from charonSPLATchaoseed.com last week, and i was just wondering if anyone got anything else from him.

if you care, here's what he sent me:

That's the second address to e-mail us. The first was visSPLATchaoseed.com - the occasional clue would pop our way every so often.

Now, the bigger question: Has anyone tried e-mailing either of them *back*? I know I haven't; the limit of my communication with vis has been through the Jan Termin page.

Another update to yturbans - seems we must be on the right track with the monkey/peach idea.

Ya, I know, new post - but I don't want ppl thinking I haven't found anything (and this seems important)

Looks like something big is going to happen tomorrow (from mace's page)
