--just some wiki/VPG users discussing--<br />
<br />
(Just an insight--- could the administrator of this wiki, Brian Enigma, be Loki??? After all, all the letters from Loki to bloggers were signed>> Loki, Enigma Director... How does he know so much??)<br />
<br />
( You have a good point---and im kind of agreeing with you..)<br />
<br />
(yes-so could this site be a decoy type thing? ...providing us with answers the site shows as correctly solved when you enter the code, but are really counted as wrong? They catch us cheating... no?)<br />
<br />
( i dont think its like that---)<br />
<br />
(Even if it's a decoy, they should not mind us cheaters. The whole game was a marketing strategy for Vista = the more people know about it and get excited about it the better for Microsoft)</div>Mishoboyhttps://vanishingpointwiki.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mishoboy&diff=3459User talk:Mishoboy2007-01-31T00:05:07Z<p>Mishoboy: Has anyone else experienced this</p>
<hr />
<div>I was at the Seattle event, and at the VIP party I was playing on one of the laptops provided. I got stucked on the puzzle and I looked up the answer on vanishingpointwiki.com. Some guy was starring at my screen behind me. Shortly after that the www.vanishingpointgame.com site logged me out, and ever since i couldn;t log back in. It seems to me as if someone from the VIP guest has delted my account. The guys who created the puzzles were athe the party so who knows. Anyway, this seemed a bit odd, and yet I am out of the game<br />
<br />
== Has anyone else experienced this ==<br />
<br />
I already mentioned that my account has been closed, or let's say it won't let me log in. So i made my buddy sign up for the game and play it, and couple days later he couldn't log in either. What is going on? Anyone else had this problem?</div>Mishoboyhttps://vanishingpointwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Collection_Plate&diff=3257Collection Plate2007-01-28T15:38:29Z<p>Mishoboy: /* Week 4 - */</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 />

'''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 />
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>Mishoboyhttps://vanishingpointwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Collection_Plate&diff=3256Collection Plate2007-01-28T15:37:51Z<p>Mishoboy: /* Week 4 - */</p>

'''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 />

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 />

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.

'''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 />

<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 />
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>Mishoboyhttps://vanishingpointwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Collection_Plate&diff=3250Collection Plate2007-01-28T15:00:35Z<p>Mishoboy: /* Week 4 - */</p>
<hr />
<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 />
Locations of the white boxes are shown below (more required):<br />

<div>I was at the Seattle event, and at the VIP party I was playing on one of the laptops provided. I got stucked on the puzzle and I looked up the answer on vanishingpointwiki.com. Some guy was starring at my screen behind me. Shortly after that the www.vanishingpointgame.com site logged me out, and ever since i couldn;t log back in. It seems to me as if someone from the VIP guest has delted my account. The guys who created the puzzles were athe the party so who knows. Anyway, this seemed a bit odd, and yet I am out of the game</div>Mishoboy
