BTW, the "destroy this mad brute" postcard was a promotional poster to enlist in the British Army during World War 1 to fight ze Germans. I actually have postcard poster. Will see if I can get a full image on the web, or a scan of my postcard

Ya, the duplicate I Ching is definitely a problem. Here's the updated info (he also had page 55, so we now have "O"), but apparently the I Ching is not how to sort it.

1) R = 5, 1, 6
2) ??
3) R = 335, 20, 25
4) E = 175, 5, 3
5) ??
6) I = 95, 35, 11 AND E = 85, 34, 15
7) ??
8 ) ??
9) G = 35, 35, 26
10) ??
11) O = 55, 14, 2
12) ? = 245, 3, 10
13) ??
14) ??
15) ??

Hey PMs! You have at least two (and one ex) South-Africans playing this game. And a Brit. I feel that it would only be fair to send out some care packages.

What, do only Americans die in creepy flame-filled cities now? :p

Can we tell something about the orientation and size of the paper? Is the watercolor painted in landscape or in portrait orientation? How many of these pieces do we need? 4x7 (28)? More?

Varin confirmed that the NW Indiana one posted on the 17th was her--so they probably are real.

I just noticed these were posted yesterday, not April 13th. That may mean they're not "real". I'm at least suspicious...

There are a few wiki pages that list city items... these all definitely need to be cleaned up.

I just added all known listings (as of right now) to "Package Contents".

Ahhh... an ARG with some action! (for now)

So we have a hiccup: apparently my I Ching is a duplicate of Phaedra's - Conflict, #6, but numbers are different. Could this mean there's a different method to the sorting of the tri-numbers, rather than by IChing number?

Alternatively it could just mean that there are two references for that number?

hotdog!

Got my package today - pics coming.

My letter:

Quote:

In the midst of the night, I find myself with you and so many others in a place where fire reigns. It's bedlam. Many have died and, before the night is done, many more join them. You must find the others. Assemble yourselves and prepare for the destruction.

Torn pages:
* At the Mountains of Madness p85/86
* At the Mountains of Madness p55/56 (circled: lurking sculptures)
* 2600 Magazine p23/24 (ringtone download folliez
* front: The Kraken (art), back: "The Kraken" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, from Poems, Chiefly Lyrical, 1830 (Assuming this is from Monsters Of The Sea)
* Herbert West - Reanimator, p65/66 (code: Conflict 85, 34, 15)

half pages:
* top, "Destroy this mad brute" (a play on king kong, wearing a helmet labelled "militarism") (seems to be the front of a half page that Phaedra received)
* top, sketch art with a man and woman being led into a cave by a ferocious looking ape, with a picket sign saying "War Peace" pointing War towards the cave entrance
Also:
Watercolor and personal letter, coin, providence craigslist ad, "You are providence", postcard
