Look what I found: www.ottd.info

Post by Karen »

Hi all!

I was browsing the web and typed http://www.ottd.info/
It took me to a site, but I don't really get what they mean.. I tried some things, but it didn't get me anywhere.

I was hoping any of you had an idea? Who created this?

Greatz from Manuae!

Hint : perform a whois on "ottd.info" and compare e-mail addresses with your, then eventually seek a psychiatrist acquainted with DID...

Don't know who created it but the registration on it says that it was created on the 23 jan 2008 to a ottd riddle.

OK, just investigating further : "The Cake Is A Lie?" relates to Portal, an action/puzzle video game, which uses the clinical feel of the setting in the film The Island as reference. Now, I'm wondering if Karen is impersonating GLaDOS. In such case, the "OpenTTD Riddle" could be related to the ongoing challenge. About the web page, there seems to be some lines of code blended in the background picture, along with a big question mark where the four screenshots are joining. Source code of the page reveals an interesting style of hand coding. Also interesting is where the domain is hosted. Is Karen a dev ???

Anyone tried entering random numbers? I started, but the fact that a number between 0 and 10000000 is need discouraged me somewhat. :)

Seeing as you're the only person on these forums from Manuae, and the Domain's registered city is Manuae, I'm guessing you?

You mean I wasn't supposed to type my credit-card number into that text box that wants a number? Um ... Oops?

Wauw! I finally found the cake too! This is so cool!!!

That account number is useful, I can login any time and continue where I left off. Just I need to remember to login before I try to solve the second riddle, as I am sure it won't work if I am not ... how annoying.

Owh, and I investigated the account number, it seemly has nothing to do with the riddle. Do any of you have other ideas?

Greatz from Manuae!

And point of it? Huh, I guess either Karen has some disorder as mentioned above or is just making fun of people here.

The answer has been given in the first riddle. You will not get a cake, if you get to the last one. :lol:
