I still don't know if we're on the right track however...

And it's wrong, kinda like I was thinking.

Is a Z3 proto really worth all of this? Once we get this rom, we're going to play it, and then we'll get bored with it. Then what? Will we be going "Damn, I can't believe we had to do a contest to get this!"?

However, I'm still interested in the proto, which is probably the only reason I'm still doing this.

What question are we supposed to be answering? I don't think it's the triforce rumors, because "Zelda freak" doesn't really apply to it. Ugh... this is too vague.

Realistically, it's "Dragon" without the "on" part.

Last view: 3929 days 		To be honest, I don't think we're going to win. I'm getting kinda tired about thinking about this last step. I don't have enough info to conclude to anything at all. Okibi just made it too hard for me. I can't continue. On top of everything, I've been sick with the stomach flu for the past week. I guess we'll just have to be content with not having this rom.

As for the rom itself, I don't know if he has it or not, but I really wish he'd post more evidence of it. I don't know if he's lying or not, but I'm not really in a position to judge. All I can do is just hope that someone else gets the rom and shares it, because it probably won't be me, unless someone can come up with the correct answer sometime before this coming wednesday.

But I seriously cannot come to any conclusions, and Okibi said he wasn't giving us hints anymore. I'm pretty much ready to give up on this whole thing and forget it ever happened.

What about me? He said I'm on Step 2. So umm... the Triforce was inside the rom, I guess.

I don't really think that's the answer though.

Last view: 3929 days 		Once again, Gzila comes through with another awesome hint!
Posted by "Gzila"
"Anyways, the numbers are just there to
tell you that you aren't where you think you are. The Wrong is telling
you that you are over thinking everything. The question refers to
putting the steps together in your head."

The latest hint I got from him. All I've thought about so far is in the first part (question), its pertaining to 5 steps, 5 hints, something that we've been trying to put together. the "wrong" we've also been overthinking it. so where would the numbers fit..I know from xkeeper's post that the numbers really don't mean anything, since they kept changing.

So we're overthinking everything?

Also, I'm not sure how Gzila keeps getting these hints, but they're pretty good.

"Anyways, the numbers

As in "Wrong. You're on Step (number)"

are just there to tell you that you aren't where you think you are.
The Wrong

As in "What Step are you on? Wrong."

is telling you that you are over thinking everything.
The question

As in "all you need to do is answer one single question..." (pz page)

refers to putting the steps together in your head."

Last view: 3929 days 		Ok, the 5 previous steps that we completed? We need to put them together.

Posted by Drag
I think step 1 was split into two parts.

Step 1: The zip file / extracting the rom.

Step 2: The rom itself, discovering it was a fake.

Step 3: This page, where you had to enter the url for the next step.

Step 4: This page, where you had to email okibi, explaining the quote and the image. Just telling him what they are, pretty much.

Step 5: This image Decyphering this image, and answering the question, and explaining how there's "dummy" info in the image that was useless.


So how do we put these together?

Also "Zelda freak knows more than he tells" wasn't important to solving step 5, but I guess it actually IS important as a hint.

Hmm... did Zeldafreak obtain the zelda 3 proto (rom or cart)?

Last view: 3929 days 		Step 5's hint is almost certainly "Zelda Freak knows more than he tells".

As for the other steps...
I started looking at the rom itself as just a symbolic representation of the zelda 3 prototype, kinda like how a picture represents something.

I'm thinking the hints aren't necesarilly what is literally given on the page, but the hint could be the way we solved the step, or just a specific way we had to consider the step.

For example, with step 4, all we needed to do was describe the image and the quote. That's it. We didn't need to connect it to anything, or find some kind of deeper meaning, we just had to email Okibi with a small description. So I'm thinking the hint for step 4 could possibly be that we ultimately need to email Okibi to complete the contest.

Hopefully I'll be able to access it earlier than that, but I can't access it at the moment. Basically, I won't know if my "does Zeldafreak have the prototype?" answer is right or not until later.

Honestly, I don't think I should answer that...

Anyways, that's not the correct answer.


Think we're on to something?
