<div>Confirmation of a "puzzle within a puzzle" is confirmed in two locations.<br />
<br />
In the [[FAQ]], Loki says:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"... but I'll let you in on a little secret. If you are the first person to find and solve my secret puzzle, you can have your name engraved and immortalized on an AMD chip for a production run through March 31, 2007."</blockquote><br />
<br />
The Rules state:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"Meta Puzzle Bonus: The first individual to correctly solve the Meta Puzzle will automatically receive the AMD Signature Chip Bonus, which means their name will be inscribed on each AMD Athlon 64 FX chip manufactured from the time of the award through March 31, 2007. If you are deemed the recipient of this Meta Puzzle Bonus, follow the instructions presented at time of notification or receipt. This Bonus has no cash value."</blockquote><br />
<br />
It is unknown at this time whether or not any of the clues in the original cypher, [[Video-Ignition]], [[Video-Loki]], puzzle mailings, or any other pre-awareness text and images relate to the Meta Puzzle. However, it is highly likely that the [[Video-Loki]] contains additional clues, since the video is now on the main Vanishing Point page, and has puzzle-like elements that have yet to be explained by the pre-awareness phase.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
Finishing all of the Week 1 Puzzles gives a congratulatory e-mail from Loki. At the end of the video, the string "on_the_run" flashes on the screen. Going to this directory [http://vanishingpointgame.com/on_the_run/] on the Vanishing Point game's server yields the following message:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Good, you’re paying attention.<br><br><br />
<br />
You’ve found something that very few others will…<br><br><br />
<br />
This page is not part of the challenge to give away a trip into space….it’s something different.<br><br><br />
<br />
When I was hired to build the Vanishing Point, I realized it was an opportunity to build something personal that I’ve been trying to find a way to build for many years now, and that if players were smart enough to get through the puzzle suites, they might also be smart enough to help me with this.<br><br><br />
<br />
So let’s see if you can help. In return, I have one amazing bonus prize to give away.<br><br><br />
<br />
If you are the first person in the world to help me find my own vanishing point, I will print your name on the actual casing of every AMD Athlon 64 FX computer chip manufactured between now and March 31, 2007.<br><br><br />
<br />
When the time is right, I’ll ask you a question. For now, follow this trail to get the word it leads to.<br><br><br />
<br />
Contact me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
By "Contact Me" she means send a email to loki[at]vanishingpointgame.com, doing so gets you the reply:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Life is a mix of work and play. You've found play...<br />
<br />
~L</blockquote><br />
<br />
So, if @vanishingpointgame.com is Play, then @microsoft.com is Work, right? Perhaps, doing so gets you the reply:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Hmmm. Not quite what I had in mind. Try harder - then listen closely.<br />
<br />
~L </blockquote><br />
Which was sent from v-loki@microsoft.com <br><br />
<br />
If you called Microsoft and asked an operator to be transferred to v-Loki, you'll get the following message:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"'''A'''wesome '''w'''ork. '''A'''ll '''k'''nowledge '''e'''ventually '''n'''eeds '''e'''ffective '''d'''iagnosis."</blockquote><br />
<br />
Which leads to [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/awakened http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/awakened].<br />
<br />
You're given another phone number. When you call it, you have to provide a fax number. When you do, you get this fax document [[Image:Image-Itinerary_for_L_KITSUNE.jpg]]<br><br />
Text reads:<br />
<blockquote>Itinerary for: L Kitsune<br><br><br />

<br />
That last number, 12:08p is circled, and handwritten under it is the following:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Former AT&T Bldg.<br><br />

The flights are:<br><br />
*AW 291 - America West - Seattle to Las Vegas<br />
*SW 608 - Southwest - Las Vegas to Los Angeles<br />

*UA 373/339 - United Airlines - Austin, TX to Denver to Seattle<br />
*AK 394 - Alaska Air - Seattle to San Jose, CA<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The former AT&T building located in San Jose is AMD's headquarters. Call their main number (408-749-4000) and use the x55654 extention and you get a recording.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Hi, this is Loki. Or rather her electronic footprint left behind on this machine.<br><br><br />
Funny how the inanimate world retains traces of things long after they've disappeared, isn't it?.<br><br><br />
If you're calling about the murmuring rock project, it's on hold indefinitely ... unfortunately.</blockquote><br />
<br />
Here is a recording of it<br />
http://www.windowsconnected.com/files/folders/misc/entry5565.aspx<br />
<br />
Searching the internet for "Murmuring Rock" yields information about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorelei Lorelei], which is both rich in folklore, and fills in the missing part of the itinerary. It appears that Loki is the nickname of Lorelei Kitsune.<br />
<br />
The trail appears to go cold here. Loki said earlier, "When the time is right, I’ll ask you a question. For now, follow this trail to get the word it leads to." It appears that "'''Lorelei'''" is that word. Now ... we wait.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
At the end of Week Two's puzzles, a new video from Loki appears, in which she talks about her experience with the recruiters at Microsoft. At the end, the word "/collectionplate" pops up. Going to [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/collectionplate vanishingpointgame.com/collectionplate] tells you that when the time is right, Loki will ask for a word. It then shows how many boxes (see [[Collection Plate]]) you have found. Presumably, finding all 36 (9 per week) will unlock the next stage of the Meta Puzzle.<br />
<br />
Once you find all 36, you are given a puzzle, which when finished gives you the Coat of Arms of "'''Odessa'''".<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
At the end of Week Three's puzzles, another new video from Loki appears. More talk about her recruit. At the end, the word, /more_answers pops up. Going to [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/more%5Fanswers/ http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/more_answers/] tells you that when the time is right, Loki will ask you another question. It then shows how many of the puzzles you have solved (48, 12 each week). Another next stage of the Meta Puzzle.<br />
<br />
When you complete all of the puzzles, you are given a word search. When you eliminate all the words, you are left with "6b617261." Translating that code from hexidecimal into ASCII results in "'''Kara'''."<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
At the end o Week Four's puzzles, there is another video which directly you to several pages: [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/roamingroaming/ http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/roamingroaming/].<br />
<br />
On 'roamingroaming' there is a set of directions(?) Linking the directional clues given when Loki lowers her glasses, you get ...<br />
<br />
# Mystery Spot, CA ('''Added CA after original post see below''')<br />
# East 5874.61 miles<br />
# North 1049.62 miles<br />
# East 1161.79 miles<br />
# South 153.48 miles<br />
# West 543.55 miles<br />
# South 652.2 miles<br />
# West 4909.96 miles<br />
# South 548.42 miles<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
Finally, http://www.vanishingpointgame/lokiv gives you the opportunity to guess Loki's name. The first correct answer wins.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
L.O.K.I Said she majored in 4 areas in college: Physics, Stage Arts, History, and Folklore<br />
<br />
Lorelei - is German Folklore.<br />
<br />
Odessa - Ukraine Colony founded by Greece, History<br />
<br />
Kara - Asian Comic, South Korea, Stage Arts<br />
<br />
I??? - Physics<br />
<br />
Best guess for I currently is Irene, Physicist daughter of Chemist Marie Curie. Possible Answer: Lorelei, Odessa, Kara, Irene<br />
<br />
---<br />
<blockquote><br />
Thins is only a gues. but for the /roamingroaming i believe Thanli is a province or town in china. its not listed on every map i've came across. the catch is i cant locate any programs that will allow me to draw a radius from a point on a global map. idealy if i had a good normal map that was detailed enough to show thanli on it some pins and string id be all set to try it out. i submited a gues that the name are Lorelei, Odessa, Kara, Inari. Inari as in lake Inari. probably wrong on that part.<br /><br />
<br />
I also tried an alternitive method wich was close to working. Since they appear to be identical quadruplets. I spent a large amount of time looking up info on that. its a 1 in 11 million birth scenario so there is detailed listings for every birth since the 1930's well mostly more then 80% are detailed enough to carry the children's names (none that match Loki) in between the 1955-1985 (id guess there's in there 20's but just in case). there is a strong possibility there were born to the Zhang/choi famlily in china in 1977 june 17 i believe it said making them 29. but this is all speculation since those records are not detailed for that birth. but its also one of the only identical births i came across that fit into the time period that wasn’t detailed. but that was a stray thought i went to far chasing (still could be a alternate solution to finding them if you had some decent medical journals to research). <br /><br />
<br />
To wrap things up if you have a detailed map or map program that contained thanli id start from there. as a side note make sure you remember to cross reference and historical land marks with the radius you draw onto the map. the points after tanli don’t have to be towns, more likely there objects since the miles are detailed enough to have xxxx.XX . i don’t believe the starting point is Odessa, it could be but that would some what negate its use as a name in Loki. the anagram to Latin idea isn't bad and could as well be the starting point. <br />
but being as one of the maps i have seen tanli, china on the "MSN live maps" (coughs Microsoft).but anyway's i figured id share my ideas since I'm probably not going to enter in another solution and i only guessed at the answer after spending most of yesterday and last night searching for a means to check my ideas and gave up.<br />
i have one more possible idea that I'm going to try its really simple and i doubt its correct so unless i find it to be true i wont be posting it :P<br /><br />
<br />
good luck and if you figure it all out be sure to post it. <br />

<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
I don't know if i'm retarded or not, however, I looked at the /roamingroaming again and now it says Mystery Spot, CA. I therefore got rid of my turkey nonsense.<br />
<br />
that it does. may help with my other idea i didnt mention. when your on the main page at vanishingpointgame.com. after you select a puzzle box if you mouse over the flags the display long/lat where the events were held. theres 2 in ca could be the starting points.<br />
<br />
I was messing arround and I tried a starting point of Vista, CA (I ended up somewhere in the desert of Mexico didn't seem right) and I started out near Sacramento in a place called xxxx vista (can't remember the first word) that time I ended up arround arkansas. I was also thinking, maybe from the starting point you follow each direction which would land you on a different city and spell something out? No clue what the starting point is though.<br />
<br />
*Update<br />
There aparently is an actual place called Mystery Spot in California near Santa Cruz<br />

Good luck figuring any of that out. All the distances and locations found using Google Earth. (Has a ruler which lets you see distance as you move around the globe)<br />
<br />
On a lighter note, if you pull lines from one spot to another it seems to spell IP...<br />

I ended up about the same place you did - middle of nowhere, Mississippi. More precisely, a piece of farmland off Newmann Rd, east of US-61, between Hardee and Valley Park. Interesting part is that this is in Issaquena county. Perhaps the I is Issaquena? Possibly, but that doesn't begin to take into account physics or latin. Also interesting, a google search yielded this page http://www.rootsweb.com/~msissaq2/mollison.html about a man named Willis Elbert Mollison, born in Issaquena, who lived a prominient life and had seven genius children. Loki did mention the seven brothers... Perhaps she is a decendant of this guy?<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Update:</b> The "smallest place" text on the page is a link. It shows a map with a red X right on Hardee, Mississippi.<br />

www.vanishingpointgame.com/more_answers now has a crossword puzzle with a twist--you have to find all of the answers from the games and press drop to make the puzzle drop down. It seems as if you have to do the puzzle in a certain order.<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
I played through the "more_answers" wordsearch as much as I could, but got stuck with three answers left. "stage", "bigben" and "white". I couldn't remove white because there was no w left in the puzzle. Stage and Bigben I couldn't clear either because of the rogue h and i from white, see below. Could the remaining answers form part of the puzzle? [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=stage+bigben+white&meta= Google Search for White, Bigben and Stage]. Maybe even the remaining letter and numbers might form a clue. "6B617261" - TCLN Ryster (Neowin.net)<br />
<br />
[[Image:More_answers-puzzle.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Please read above, we're done with the crossword. You forgot a word before you hit drop. Try it again.<br />

The clue map is exactly here in Mississippi http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=32.577123~-90.827923&style=r&lvl=14&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000<br />
<br />
When I go to /more_answers nothing happens...It says "0 of 48 completed" even though I've done all the puzzles. Anyone else have this problem?<br />
<br />
This problem is solved by returning to vanishingpointgame.com and LOGGING IN.<br />
<br />
I ALREADY AM LOGGED IN. What now smart one?<br />
<br />
<br />
Hardee is in ''Issaquena'' County which is the ''smallest'' county in Mississippi.<br />
<br />
To the puzzle, the remaining 6B617261 translated from hex is kara, the third name which is what most already have.<br />
<br />
Interlaid california onto a map of the midwest/south to assist in quickly checking other starting points. Thought it might be a bit of help to someone else as well.<br />
[http://vanishingpointwiki.com/wiki/Image:Map_ca_interlay.pdf Map CA Interlay]<br />
Used my ending place, similar to everyone else but a slight difference -- rounding, etc.<br />
<br />
And you interlaid the maps why?<br />
<br />
Because were assuming Mystery Spot, CA starts at the place called Mystery Spot, CA. perhaps it's just a mysterious spot in California. Interlaying the map's quickly let's you find a different starting point in california and not have to google earth and retrace the path, you just need to find the new starting place on the interlaid map of CA. ie. find san diego on the map of california interlaid into the midwest and it should be arround about the same location as if you had traced it all the way through the coordinates. At least close enough to see whether or not it's worth your time maping it all out again from a different starting point.</div>Maximus23623https://vanishingpointwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Meta_Puzzle&diff=3394Meta Puzzle2007-01-30T02:13:29Z<p>Maximus23623: </p>

At the end of Week Two's puzzles, a new video from Loki appears, in which she talks about her experience with the recruiters at Microsoft. At the end, the word "/collectionplate" pops up. Going to [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/collectionplate vanishingpointgame.com/collectionplate] tells you that when the time is right, Loki will ask for a word. It then shows how many boxes (see [[Collection Plate]]) you have found. Presumably, finding all 36 (9 per week) will unlock the next stage of the Meta Puzzle.<br />
<br />
Once you find all 36, you are given a puzzle, which when finished gives you the Coat of Arms of "'''Odessa'''".<br />
<br />

<br />
At the end of Week Three's puzzles, another new video from Loki appears. More talk about her recruit. At the end, the word, /more_answers pops up. Going to [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/more%5Fanswers/ http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/more_answers/] tells you that when the time is right, Loki will ask you another question. It then shows how many of the puzzles you have solved (48, 12 each week). Another next stage of the Meta Puzzle.<br />
<br />
When you complete all of the puzzles, you are given a word search. When you eliminate all the words, you are left with "6b617261." Translating that code from hexidecimal into ASCII results in "'''Kara'''."<br />
<br />

<br />
At the end o Week Four's puzzles, there is another video which directly you to several pages: [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/roamingroaming/ http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/roamingroaming/].<br />
<br />
On 'roamingroaming' there is a set of directions(?) Linking the directional clues given when Loki lowers her glasses, you get ...<br />
<br />
# Mystery Spot, CA ('''Added CA after original post see below''')<br />
# East 5874.61 miles<br />
# North 1049.62 miles<br />
# East 1161.79 miles<br />
# South 153.48 miles<br />
# West 543.55 miles<br />
# South 652.2 miles<br />
# West 4909.96 miles<br />
# South 548.42 miles<br />

<br />
Finally, http://www.vanishingpointgame/lokiv gives you the opportunity to guess Loki's name. The first correct answer wins.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
L.O.K.I Said she majored in 4 areas in college: Physics, Stage Arts, History, and Folklore<br />
<br />
Lorelei - is German Folklore.<br />
<br />
Odessa - Ukraine Colony founded by Greece, History<br />
<br />
Kara - Asian Comic, South Korea, Stage Arts<br />
<br />
I??? - Physics<br />
<br />
Best guess for I currently is Irene, Physicist daughter of Chemist Marie Curie. Possible Answer: Lorelei, Odessa, Kara, Irene<br />
<br />
---<br />
<blockquote><br />
Thins is only a gues. but for the /roamingroaming i believe Thanli is a province or town in china. its not listed on every map i've came across. the catch is i cant locate any programs that will allow me to draw a radius from a point on a global map. idealy if i had a good normal map that was detailed enough to show thanli on it some pins and string id be all set to try it out. i submited a gues that the name are Lorelei, Odessa, Kara, Inari. Inari as in lake Inari. probably wrong on that part.<br /><br />
<br />
I also tried an alternitive method wich was close to working. Since they appear to be identical quadruplets. I spent a large amount of time looking up info on that. its a 1 in 11 million birth scenario so there is detailed listings for every birth since the 1930's well mostly more then 80% are detailed enough to carry the children's names (none that match Loki) in between the 1955-1985 (id guess there's in there 20's but just in case). there is a strong possibility there were born to the Zhang/choi famlily in china in 1977 june 17 i believe it said making them 29. but this is all speculation since those records are not detailed for that birth. but its also one of the only identical births i came across that fit into the time period that wasn’t detailed. but that was a stray thought i went to far chasing (still could be a alternate solution to finding them if you had some decent medical journals to research). <br /><br />
<br />
To wrap things up if you have a detailed map or map program that contained thanli id start from there. as a side note make sure you remember to cross reference and historical land marks with the radius you draw onto the map. the points after tanli don’t have to be towns, more likely there objects since the miles are detailed enough to have xxxx.XX . i don’t believe the starting point is Odessa, it could be but that would some what negate its use as a name in Loki. the anagram to Latin idea isn't bad and could as well be the starting point. <br />
but being as one of the maps i have seen tanli, china on the "MSN live maps" (coughs Microsoft).but anyway's i figured id share my ideas since I'm probably not going to enter in another solution and i only guessed at the answer after spending most of yesterday and last night searching for a means to check my ideas and gave up.<br />
i have one more possible idea that I'm going to try its really simple and i doubt its correct so unless i find it to be true i wont be posting it :P<br /><br />
<br />
good luck and if you figure it all out be sure to post it. <br />

With Rome as my starting point I roughly followed the directions and came near a city named "Irbil" in "Iraq". I also noticed the 4 Loki are sitting in the order of i-k-o-L in the video and in the order they say their college majors so my answer is "Irbil, Kara, Odessa, Lorelei". No ideal how picky they are but I question if I should have included the last name. <br />
<br />
I got pickier and looked again with an atual ruler to measure out the distance this time the closes “I” city I found this time is “Idil” in “Turkey”. Changed my answer to “Idil, Kara, Odessa, Loreley”.<br />
<br />
Wish there was a more definitive way to determine if I’m right or wrong. Still checking to see if Idil has anything to do with Physics. Probably find out I needed to use the Latin city name or something much more complex than just following the directional clues.<br />
<br />
</blockquote><br />
I don't know if i'm retarded or not, however, I looked at the /roamingroaming again and now it says Mystery Spot, CA. I therefore got rid of my turkey nonsense.<br />
<br />
that it does. may help with my other idea i didnt mention. when your on the main page at vanishingpointgame.com. after you select a puzzle box if you mouse over the flags the display long/lat where the events were held. theres 2 in ca could be the starting points.<br />
<br />
I was messing arround and I tried a starting point of Vista, CA (I ended up somewhere in the desert of Mexico didn't seem right) and I started out near Sacramento in a place called xxxx vista (can't remember the first word) that time I ended up arround arkansas. I was also thinking, maybe from the starting point you follow each direction which would land you on a different city and spell something out? No clue what the starting point is though.<br />

There aparently is an actual place called Mystery Spot in California near Santa Cruz<br />

Good luck figuring any of that out. All the distances and locations found using Google Earth. (Has a ruler which lets you see distance as you move around the globe)<br />

On a lighter note, if you pull lines from one spot to another it seems to spell IP...<br />

I ended up about the same place you did - middle of nowhere, Mississippi. More precisely, a piece of farmland off Newmann Rd, east of US-61, between Hardee and Valley Park. Interesting part is that this is in Issaquena county. Perhaps the I is Issaquena? Possibly, but that doesn't begin to take into account physics or latin. Also interesting, a google search yielded this page http://www.rootsweb.com/~msissaq2/mollison.html about a man named Willis Elbert Mollison, born in Issaquena, who lived a prominient life and had seven genius children. Loki did mention the seven brothers... Perhaps she is a decendant of this guy?<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Update:</b> The "smallest place" text on the page is a link. It shows a map with a red X right on Hardee, Mississippi.<br />

www.vanishingpointgame.com/more_answers now has a crossword puzzle with a twist--you have to find all of the answers from the games and press drop to make the puzzle drop down. It seems as if you have to do the puzzle in a certain order.<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
I played through the "more_answers" wordsearch as much as I could, but got stuck with three answers left. "stage", "bigben" and "white". I couldn't remove white because there was no w left in the puzzle. Stage and Bigben I couldn't clear either because of the rogue h and i from white, see below. Could the remaining answers form part of the puzzle? [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=stage+bigben+white&meta= Google Search for White, Bigben and Stage]. Maybe even the remaining letter and numbers might form a clue. "6B617261" - TCLN Ryster (Neowin.net)<br />

When I go to /more_answers nothing happens...It says "0 of 48 completed" even though I've done all the puzzles.

<div>This page is duplicating information already included on the "White Box Phenomenon" page. Perhaps we should consider merging the pages?<br />
<br />
bekuletz:<br />
I just proposed the same thing on the White Box Phenomenon page :)..<br />
<br />
Well..how do we do it?<br />
WBP -> CP or CP -> WBP ?<br />
<br />
hmmmm...I think WBP - > Collection Plate would be better because it's the name given by loki to the puzzle...<br />
<br />
Should I remove the text that I added about where to find the pieces.<br />
<br />
bekuletz: I don't Know wich text you are talking about. If I accidentaly removed any text that you think was useful, feel free to put it back, or let me know and I will put it back.<br />
<br />
Gamakichi: I am the one that added the text about where to find each of the pieces in the first puzzle and was just wanting to know that since the pictures are up whether or not to remove the text to make the page look cleaner.<br />
<br />
bekuletz: I don't know what to say...maybe some people would prefer just the hint, in this case the text should stay...while other people, like yourself would like the page to look "cleaner" , hence the text removed. Do as you wish.<br />
<br />
Maximus23623: Just moving something from collection plate page that should really be in discussion, but note that I did not write this:<br />
Has anyone else noticed their counter going to 0 when selecting the white boxes before solving them? I was at 18 after box 2, then was at 0 after selecting all of box 3.<br />
<br />
Frappe051: In reply to Maximus: The only thing I've noticed is that I have 26 out of the 27 already found, even though I have clicked all of the white boxes, and even went through a second time, making sure each was clicked. When I first found the page, it said I had 0 out of 36.. and when I was finished clicking the white boxes for puzzle boxes 2 and 3, I went to 1, and clicked them. On 1, though, the white boxes for Repair Table and Calendars were missing. I'm stuck at 26 and don't know what I can do to reach 27..<br />
<br />
Maximus23623 (Jan 31): Well, I didn't write that so I'm not sure what whoever did write it meant. But I know I'm missing 2, and I know where they are and can still see them. I'm only worried about one of them right now because I have clicked on it a few times before and waited a while to see if it will do anything, and it has done nothing. The second troubling white box I just started with today, and its not realizing I've collected it, but I'm not too worried about it yet, as I haven't solved the puzzle yet either because when I put in the answer it keeps telling me "OTHER". Well, I have solved it, but it must not like me or whatever. But as for being stuck at 26, I don't know how to help, sorry.</div>Maximus23623https://vanishingpointwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Collection_Plate&diff=3273Collection Plate2007-01-28T17:54:30Z<p>Maximus23623: </p>

<div>The '''Collection Plate''' hint is located at the end of the video you can view when you solve Puzzle Box 2: at the end of the video you can see "''/collectionplate''". If you go to http://vanishingpointgame.com/collectionplate, it tells you "''When the time is right I will ask you a question''", and also says ''(#) out of 36 found''. This refers to the White Boxes found in some puzzles. Since there are 36 boxes total, there are 9 white boxes in each puzzle box. After finding all 36, you return to http://vanishingpointgame.com/collectionplate and it will ask you a question that you must answer to win the meta puzzle.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Thalin Athasian''''s post on Unfiction forum:<br />
<br />
The image appearing is a blazon. However at this time I can't really give much input as I do not know the colours. But, here is what I do know.<br />
<br />
With the Escutheon of Pretence, with a grappling iron, it is most likely claiming sovereignty over piracy, as the grappling iron was used in naval combat.<br />
<br />
The six feathers are a sign of obedience, however they are docked in certain areas. Count them, the normal seems to be 14, however some have 13 and 12. Until we get more images, we cannot be certain that there are more feathers with more docks. To me, those feathers signifying obedience is pointing out (once the whole picture is available) something to follow.<br />
<br />
I find it quite interesting really the image that is being shown. With Vista coming out that is even more secure against piracy, perhaps Microsoft is showing this through VP? Who knows - but that's what the blazon is saying.<br />
<br />
'''SuperRob''''s response ...<br />
<br />
<blockquote>While I'm not an expert in heraldry, one of my uncles is. Calling this a blazon isn't technically accurate. A blazon is a textual representation of a family's coat of arms. It's entirely possible for the visual representation of the coat of arms to change over time, but the blazon, what the crest is meant to represent, should remain more or less static.<br><br><br />
<br />
However, I think Thalin is on to something. I don't think we're necessarily going to be looking for this exact crest, but one that can be described the same way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
::The middle feather of the three on the left side of the CoA has 2 of it's "segments" filled in. Coincidence? (Raxous)<br />
<br />
It is a device - a blazon is the text to describe a picture of a device.<br />
<br />
'''Slysi''''s response ...<br />
Here is a link to Blazonry.<br />
http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/bruce.html<br />
<br />
A Coat Of Arms is meant for an individual not a family. It is linked with Geneology and that persons work in, or towards their community.<br />
You can apply for your own in only two places.<br />
London and Canada.<br />
<br />
I don't recall the specific names of these places, but it is very costly and time consuming to have one made.<br />
<br />
The unscrambled final image is the coat of arms for Odessa Oblast a province of the Ukraine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odessa_Oblast</div>Maximus23623https://vanishingpointwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Collection_Plate&diff=3272Collection Plate2007-01-28T17:50:45Z<p>Maximus23623: </p>

This refers to the White Boxes found in some puzzles. Since there are 36 boxes total, there are 9 white boxes in each puzzle box. After finding all 36, you return to http://vanishingpointgame.com/collectionplate and it will ask you a question that you must answer to win the meta puzzle.<br />

'''Thalin Athasian''''s post on Unfiction forum:<br />
<br />
The image appearing is a blazon. However at this time I can't really give much input as I do not know the colours. But, here is what I do know.<br />
<br />
With the Escutheon of Pretence, with a grappling iron, it is most likely claiming sovereignty over piracy, as the grappling iron was used in naval combat.<br />
<br />
The six feathers are a sign of obedience, however they are docked in certain areas. Count them, the normal seems to be 14, however some have 13 and 12. Until we get more images, we cannot be certain that there are more feathers with more docks. To me, those feathers signifying obedience is pointing out (once the whole picture is available) something to follow.<br />
<br />
I find it quite interesting really the image that is being shown. With Vista coming out that is even more secure against piracy, perhaps Microsoft is showing this through VP? Who knows - but that's what the blazon is saying.<br />
<br />
'''SuperRob''''s response ...<br />
<br />
<blockquote>While I'm not an expert in heraldry, one of my uncles is. Calling this a blazon isn't technically accurate. A blazon is a textual representation of a family's coat of arms. It's entirely possible for the visual representation of the coat of arms to change over time, but the blazon, what the crest is meant to represent, should remain more or less static.<br><br><br />
<br />
However, I think Thalin is on to something. I don't think we're necessarily going to be looking for this exact crest, but one that can be described the same way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
::The middle feather of the three on the left side of the CoA has 2 of it's "segments" filled in. Coincidence? (Raxous)<br />
<br />
It is a device - a blazon is the text to describe a picture of a device.<br />

A Coat Of Arms is meant for an individual not a family. It is linked with Geneology and that persons work in, or towards their community.<br />
You can apply for your own in only two places.<br />

I don't recall the specific names of these places, but it is very costly and time consuming to have one made.<br />

'''Thalin Athasian''''s post on Unfiction forum:<br />
<br />
The image appearing is a blazon. However at this time I can't really give much input as I do not know the colours. But, here is what I do know.<br />
<br />
With the Escutheon of Pretence, with a grappling iron, it is most likely claiming sovereignty over piracy, as the grappling iron was used in naval combat.<br />
<br />
The six feathers are a sign of obedience, however they are docked in certain areas. Count them, the normal seems to be 14, however some have 13 and 12. Until we get more images, we cannot be certain that there are more feathers with more docks. To me, those feathers signifying obedience is pointing out (once the whole picture is available) something to follow.<br />
<br />
I find it quite interesting really the image that is being shown. With Vista coming out that is even more secure against piracy, perhaps Microsoft is showing this through VP? Who knows - but that's what the blazon is saying.<br />

However, I think Thalin is on to something. I don't think we're necessarily going to be looking for this exact crest, but one that can be described the same way.</blockquote><br />

This refers to the White Boxes found in each puzzle. Since there are 36 boxes. That means there are 9 white boxes in each one puzzle box. After finding all 36 you return to http://vanishingpointgame.com/collectionplate and it will ask you a question that you must answer to win the meta puzzle.<br />

'''Thalin Athasian''''s post on Unfiction forum:<br />
<br />
The image appearing is a blazon. However at this time I can't really give much input as I do not know the colours. But, here is what I do know.<br />
<br />
With the Escutheon of Pretence, with a grappling iron, it is most likely claiming sovereignty over piracy, as the grappling iron was used in naval combat.<br />
<br />
The six feathers are a sign of obedience, however they are docked in certain areas. Count them, the normal seems to be 14, however some have 13 and 12. Until we get more images, we cannot be certain that there are more feathers with more docks. To me, those feathers signifying obedience is pointing out (once the whole picture is available) something to follow.<br />
<br />
I find it quite interesting really the image that is being shown. With Vista coming out that is even more secure against piracy, perhaps Microsoft is showing this through VP? Who knows - but that's what the blazon is saying.<br />

However, I think Thalin is on to something. I don't think we're necessarily going to be looking for this exact crest, but one that can be described the same way.</blockquote><br />

'''Thalin Athasian''''s post on Unfiction forum:<br />
<br />
The image appearing is a blazon. However at this time I can't really give much input as I do not know the colours. But, here is what I do know.<br />
<br />
With the Escutheon of Pretence, with a grappling iron, it is most likely claiming sovereignty over piracy, as the grappling iron was used in naval combat.<br />
<br />
The six feathers are a sign of obedience, however they are docked in certain areas. Count them, the normal seems to be 14, however some have 13 and 12. Until we get more images, we cannot be certain that there are more feathers with more docks. To me, those feathers signifying obedience is pointing out (once the whole picture is available) something to follow.<br />
<br />
I find it quite interesting really the image that is being shown. With Vista coming out that is even more secure against piracy, perhaps Microsoft is showing this through VP? Who knows - but that's what the blazon is saying.<br />
<br />

<blockquote>While I'm not an expert in heraldry, one of my uncles is. Calling this a blazon isn't technically accurate. A blazon is a textual representation of a family's coat of arms. It's entirely possible for the visual representation of the coat of arms to change over time, but the blazon, what the crest is meant to represent, should remain more or less static.<br><br><br />
<br />
However, I think Thalin is on to something. I don't think we're necessarily going to be looking for this exact crest, but one that can be described the same way.</blockquote><br />

<div>This page is duplicating information already included on the "White Box Phenomenon" page. Perhaps we should consider merging the pages?<br />
<br />
bekuletz:<br />
I just proposed the same thing on the White Box Phenomenon page :)..<br />
<br />
Well..how do we do it?<br />
WBP -> CP or CP -> WBP ?<br />
<br />
hmmmm...I think WBP - > Collection Plate would be better because it's the name given by loki to the puzzle...<br />
<br />
Should I remove the text that I added about where to find the pieces.<br />
<br />
bekuletz: I don't Know wich text you are talking about. If I accidentaly removed any text that you think was useful, feel free to put it back, or let me know and I will put it back.<br />
<br />
Gamakichi: I am the one that added the text about where to find each of the pieces in the first puzzle and was just wanting to know that since the pictures are up whether or not to remove the text to make the page look cleaner.<br />
<br />
bekuletz: I don't know what to say...maybe some people would prefer just the hint, in this case the text should stay...while other people, like yourself would like the page to look "cleaner" , hence the text removed. Do as you wish.<br />
<br />
Maximus23623: Just moving something from collection plate page that should really be in discussion, but note that I did not write this:<br />
Has anyone else noticed their counter going to 0 when selecting the white boxes before solving them? I was at 18 after box 2, then was at 0 after selecting all of box 3.</div>Maximus23623https://vanishingpointwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Collection_Plate&diff=2842Collection Plate2007-01-20T21:33:09Z<p>Maximus23623: /* Week 3 - */</p>

This refers to the White Boxes found in each puzzle. Since there are 36 boxes. That means there are 9 white boxes in each one puzzle box.

'''Thalin Athasian''''s post on Unfiction forum:<br />
<br />
The image appearing is a blazon. However at this time I can't really give much input as I do not know the colours. But, here is what I do know.<br />
<br />
With the Escutheon of Pretence, with a grappling iron, it is most likely claiming sovereignty over piracy, as the grappling iron was used in naval combat.<br />
<br />
The six feathers are a sign of obedience, however they are docked in certain areas. Count them, the normal seems to be 14, however some have 13 and 12. Until we get more images, we cannot be certain that there are more feathers with more docks. To me, those feathers signifying obedience is pointing out (once the whole picture is available) something to follow.<br />
<br />
I find it quite interesting really the image that is being shown. With Vista coming out that is even more secure against piracy, perhaps Microsoft is showing this through VP? Who knows - but that's what the blazon is saying.<br />

::The middle feather of the three on the left side of the CoA has 2 of it's "segments" filled in. Coincidence? (Raxous)<br />
<br />
It is a device - a blazen is the text to describe a picture of a device.</div>Maximus23623https://vanishingpointwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Collection_Plate&diff=2574Collection Plate2007-01-14T23:16:19Z<p>Maximus23623: /* Week 2 - */</p>

<div>At the end of watching the video from solving Puzzle Box 2 you see at the end the words "/collectionplate". After going to http://vanishingpointgame.com/collectionplate it tells you when the time is right I will ask you a question, and also says _ out of 36 found. This refers to the White Boxes found in each puzzle. Since there are 36 boxes. That means there are 9 white boxes in each one puzzle box. After finding all 36 you return to http://vanishingpointgame.com/collectionplate and it will ask you a question that you must answer to win the meta puzzle.<br />
