Discovery #1:
The meaning of "Plus = 00111 etc."
In the
Doughnut egg, described at http://home.comcast.net/~zardoz99/doughnut_egg.htm
, you must input Spyder's previous strings in the library
fireplace in a spiral, starting at the upper-lefthand corner
and winding clockwise.
WELL, if you do the same with
this new string EXCEPT winding counter-clockwise, you end up
with a plus shape or, more accurately, a crosshair! This
is further evidence that YourInMySightsNow is related to the
Torsk egg, but as yet, I've not been able to yield any
results. I tried putting in the Cyan logo and then the
crosshair, then activating the Torsk egg, but nothing has
happened yet. I'm about to try putting the Cyan string
in counter-clockwise, and if nothing happens, I'll go back to
the typical forward logo and crosshair, and explore
extensively to see what I can find!!

I just thought of
something, 'bye' is not spyder's usual exit message. I think
that bye = bi = 2 or X2! I've tried playing with Torsk and the
clues but that's not working...
(Wouldn't be a good idea
to move this to the realMYST forums?)

Eggs, here I come! |
When Spyder last
appeared on May 5, he said:
Figure these out and then I
can give you YourInMySightsNow
He was referring to the
previous two "binary" clues that produced the donut egg.
Perhaps he meant that the donut egg must precede this
one. I've tried that and nothing (obvious) happens.
Or he just might have meant that he wouldn't give us any
more clues until we figured out the donut egg.
The Egg
Hunt is On! And congrats to 75th for figuring out the +.

Hmm, Mysterious1,
Spyder has used "Bye" as his sign-off before. Go to http://home.comcast.net/~zardoz99/spyder_clues_cyan_chat.htm
and look at the entry for 16 March. I don't think that
the sign-off is probably significant, although that was an
excellent, if not entirely correct, observation.
Been
to a few ages with the Torsk gun and the logo/crosshair
sequence done. Found nothing, except that I've gotten
permanently stuck in Atrus' Rime study. Y'know how the
Torsk gun disappears when you go inside a room? Well,
the same thing has happened in the Rime study, except to my
CURSOR. Now I can't push any buttons on the elevator!

of course it means
"bi" That number he posted was a binary number!
Has anyone converted it to decimal yet and derived a
meaning?

Easter
Eggs, here I come! |
Egghunters:
In
the realMyst savegame files, I found several references to
YourInMySightsNow and the m3dplayer that may be part of this
egg. These references may or may not be relevant to the
hunt for this egg but I thought I would post them anyway (from
my eggsite):
Yourinmysightsnow
Yourinmysightsnowaction
myst..inmysites
myst..inmysitesaction
This
is probably a reference to the torsk egg but if Spyder's last
clue is to be believed, there may be more to come (see the
next set of references).
m3dplayer
m3dplayer..body
m3dplayer..boomout
m3dplayer..boomup
m3dplayer..foot
m3dplayer..head
m3dplayer.max..playermat..body
Myst..m3dplayergearwarp
Myst..m3dplayerwarptower
Myst..m3dplayerwarptower_posdummy
sn_island_pit..m3dplayerelewarp
sn_island_pit..m3dplayerelewarpnook
These references are enough to make you salivate.
The most intriguing possibility is that there is a full
YourInMySightsNow egg that includes some or all of a 3d
player-mode. And note the last five references. I
think that "warp" indicates a locked-in track that you travel
when you click certain spots. For example, the
sn_island_pit refers to the top of the Rime elevator, where
you "warp" to the aurora controls after you click on them.
I've fooled around with those controls while carrying
the torsk gun (even though it is not visible), but haven't
gotten anything.
I feel better than James Brown. I feel better now.

Wohba!! The gun just
went off!! It wiggled around and then made a firing
sound. No flame or smoke, but cool! I'm rotating
the tower to point it at various things -- let's see if we can
blow up the tree!

Gandalf - it doesn't
appear inside the tower, or at least not so far. Here's
all that I've done (other egg hunters, add your own
experiments):
I first went through some previous eggs
(torsk, then donut), then the new clues, went outside, went up
to the gear linking book, and just happened to look up at the
tower - there it was. I've since tried it with only the
new clues (no other eggs) and it works, so you don't need the
other eggs to get the tower gun (but maybe you do for more).
I then experimented with tower rotation, rotating the
tower to one of the set spots and then going u p the elevator
and the ladders. Everything appears normal from inside,
but from outside the tower gun definitely rotates. I've
tried listening for new sounds when I rotate the tower from
the library, but nothing so far.
Now for the weird
part. I was experimenting with tower rotation and had
the torsk gun activated (as well as having triggered the donut
egg). I think I rotated first to the gear, checked
things out, then rotated to the spaceship. I may or may
not have gone up the tower before going outside, but in any
case as I went along the path to the spaceship, I looked up
and the tower gun was wiggling. After a few seconds of
that, it made a sound as if it was firing (but no smoke,
etc.). I have not been able to repeat that sequence for
any other position or even for the spaceship, so maybe I
dreamed it.
P.S. Chucker, you might consider moving
this to the realMyst forum.

Thanks Chucker.
Someone (MYSTerious 1 in CC) has found a way to make
the gun go off, although I haven't been able to duplicate it.
He/she/it says that targeting a landmark then pressing
the marker switch sets the gun off. I've tried this
without success but it sounds logical.

I done seen it wiggle,
too! But ya know what, with me, I first rotated it
toward Mechanical, and then towards Stoneship. I went up
as close as I could up the mountain and examined it.
Then the turret suddenly moved backwards. Then it
shot forward with a "fwooooomph" sound. Unfortunately,
nothing came out. I had the torsk egg and the turret egg
and that was it.
For me, the gun stays on as long as I'm
outside looking outside - from inside the library or even the
tower. Does this mean anything? Maybe not, we'll
see.
--Aitrus
-----
Aaah, I went back
and explored, and found the same thing. I tried flipping
the marker switches to activate the shot, but I didn't.
However, once again, on the night of the first day
(sounds like something from Majora's Mask, eh?), I had,
coincidently, the tower facing the Stoneship entrance, playing
around with marker switches, and just as night was falling,
fwooooooomph: it shot . . . nothingness. And then it
wouldn't shoot again. Not the next night. Perhaps
it will shoot regardless the first night, and we have to have
it in a special position for the rest of the egg to be opened?
Anyone been able to get the turret to fire at any time
other than Night of the First Day? Hmm....
*even
more excited*

I've run all over the
place, up the tower, to all the marker switches, played with
the Tower Rotation, messed with the vault, and stared at the
thing for ten minutes, and it won't go off at all. Now,
I hadn't yet read the part about trying at night; maybe that's
part of it.
I was just wondering, at what stage in the
game were you guys when the gun went off? The file I'm
playing has collected all the red pages, two or three of the
blue (whichever stage Achenar says "I can see you" at), and
hasn't yet talked to Atrus. Trying to come up with some
kind of common denominator here.....
SFT
<EDIT> By the way, sorry about my
over-excited outburst earlier. :-) I was just
thinkin', though... ...this egg and the Torsk egg both
revealed in the game parts of the April Fools' Day pic Cyan
originally published of Myst Mayhem. Now, last night in
CC, when I suggested to Og that by the time we were done that
that entire picture would be real, he said something along the
lines of "75> Heh heh.. ...pretty close."
So
so far we have the exact same gun (only no crosshairs...
...except in the fireplace) and the exact same turret.
The other big thing in the picture is the rocketship, and it's
flyin' above the whole scene. There's also something
freaky where the model ship used to be...
...Don't
really know what my point is, except to say that maybe
eventually this entire pic might manifest itself through
easter eggs... ...and maybe some of the loose ends that
haven't yet been tied up might somehow be the keys to those
eggs.
Just another random newbie thought...!

I think Aitrus has
nailed it! Try starting with a new game, turn the
Stoneship marker switch on (or more), and then rotate the
tower to the Stoneship. Now trigger the egg and wait
outside where you can see the gun. Just as the sun sets,
wiggle, wiggle, boom!
EDIT: Well, so much for
that theory! Just about anything, anytime I do now, the
gun goes off. It seems to happen about 30-45 seconds
after leaving the library. I tried staying inside once,
nothing happened, then I left and the gun went off shortly
thereafter. Nor do you have to look at the gun or be
near it to trigger the blast. I left the library and
then just stood in front of the ship model, never turning
around, and BOOM. I've also used an "old" savegame
(post-Rime, post-gassing, post-everything, I think) and BOOM.
As 75th said above, I think there's more to come.
Maybe not from this egg, but this clearly is not the
m3dplayer that's somewhere in realMsyt.

Okay, I did that, and
it worked, except I didn't have to wait anywhere close to
sundown.
I started a new game, turned on the
Stoneship, Mechanical, Planetarium, and Selenitic switches,
went to the fireplace, did the egg, and went straight to the
Stoneship marker. I turned to face the cannon, and
practically the moment it was on the screen it went off.
I sat there for a few moments, and it was still bright
as day... ...so I dunno. :-P
<EDIT> Almost
forgot, I did the tower rotation as soon as I entered the
library, before the egg.
