That's one of the saddest screeds I've ever read. Projecting his inability to find a cask or get any of his poo poo together is a pretty fun gimmick. But to project it onto one of the guys who found a cask, had two careers, and serves on a regulatory board for banking in Chicago is depressing. Hope be finally gets some meds that work.

Also goons, I don't know if you're aware but :siren:A NEW CASQUE HAS BEEN BURIED :siren:

No jokes this is for real. One of the podcast hosts commissioned the original artists son to draw a new painting and there's cool prizes and everything.

The puzzle drops on 2.14

The 13th casque has been buried and the new Puzzle and image is out. Win $2500 worth of gems!

I had nothing to do with the making of this puzzle and know nothing

Closed group, but I'm a mod so just hit the button to request to join.

Also, please note that while we (especially me, not gonna lie) poke fun at the mentally ill in this thread, don't do it in the facebook group. That's touching the poop.

Yes. Just make a burner account.

Eventually, I'll ask the creator if we can post it here, but I think he wants to keep it all in one place for now until we weed out the really, really crazy mean people who come in and swear at everyone.

Feel free to discuss it in here. I like this thread better than any others on the Internet because it doesn't move fast and we clown on the rubes

Speaking of which, how long before a dumbass comes in with "I've solved it, can't tell, gonna dig it up sometime," or just starts cursing at people over a minor disagreement?

I'm surprised we made it a day, but I bet it's because the pbworks wiki doesn't have a "definitive solve" posted that makes the gullible think it's 100% solved and that they somehow are going to get the credit

I know where the 13th cask is so I will be breaking ground sometime after the frozen winters but before the busy springs. I'm shooting for Summer 2014 unless sticking a trowel into the ground shatters my wrist like glass and disables me for five years.

Image 13 has several anomalies that are obvious direct nods to the original 12 images. Those can be completely dismissed, right? We only need to concentrate on those anomalies that are not a direct reference to the first 12.

Maybe.

That would be great if the skills were handed down in some way but in this case they could have had it painted by almost any art student and had it come out better.

E- I don’t even think the original artist was especially talented

It takes a considerable amount of time to write up an 80+ page summary of how the puzzle is solved and come up with dozens of ridiculous pieces of supporting evidence. Especially when there is no wiki or q4t data readily available to plagiarize.

Be patient soldier, someone will be working on this shortly. The latest podcast has revealed a solve that has set the wheels in motion.
