there's a new clue/update on grace's blog.

the paper looks to have some kind of co-ordinate or something. i can clearly see degrees W at the end of it.

edit: i see it.

40.5624465 degrees N
110.489605 degrees W

edit: and it points right at the edge of Moon Lake in Utah. i'm guessing that's where she needs to go then.

Update.

On the Vagabond's blog.

Anonymous asked: Were you the man in the seersucker suit? I am not a servant of the Wooden Girl. I am only an observer. If he is a mere observer then how would he have clues? I think we have officially crossed over into puppets of other Fears.

I agree, it's hard to tell what's connected to the game and what isn't. I've read through both Steward's blogs and the Archive (not as much the latter yet). That's how I answered one of the Jester's (keep wanting to type Joker) earlier riddles about who he works for.

As for that guy, he's following a lot of Fear Mythos blogs, not surprising he'd be following this one too, it's pretty active, even if his game/story is over.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Or he might even be a writer for this story.

Yes but 4 out of 10,000 is a better hit than 3 out of 10,000. Either way Vagabond may soon respond to the Superior National Forest question and we can move on.
And yeah, links that lead to links that lead to links. Bewildering at times....

As well as lake superior and the forests being a possibility?

Well....

Based on the crap Dia Renalda and I have been finding all night... blogs, linked to blogs, linked to blogs linked to endless f*cking blogs... I might just find that second word.

It's hard because there's so much here, and no way to tell what is part of our ARG, and what is part of other ARGs that this one is a spinoff of... I think at this moment, Dia is working on a blogger to keep everything we all find updated. She can link it here for those of you that are interested? We're both pretty new to this, so we're both possibly over-analyzing like all hell, but sometimes, that's what you have to do right?

In the meantime....

PRE10, the black dog entry on the archive, links to this blog post of a man who was being hunted by said dog.
http://strangeandsecretfaces.blogspot.com/2011/05/confession.html
The blogger's last entry was in May.
Someone want to tell me why he's following every single thing we're following?
Grace's blog,
the Jester's twitter,
Grace's Twitter,
Hidden in the Trees blog (which is posted by Steward, another character Dia and I have found who is following Grace's blog and links to a million other blogs),
Derek's Blog
Achromatic Morality's blog (which I am presently investigating due to her comments on the archive as well as other places)
A Tangled Web's Blog (which was linked in the post on the archive about the wooden girl)
The archive itself
Debasing the beef canoe

Among many many others... And since he hasn't posted since MAY it makes no sense that he's following the newer ones (Grace, jester, derek) which started mere days ago.

New development.

highlight the black box and you get cheat code: the third word is "big" Add in Jester's tweet Congratulations. Bonus Round complete. Your reward: the first word of the cheat code is "These" Now we have These.... big.

This blog is definitely playing a part here.

Is "annaz" a player with us? I asked because he/she is the one who asked Grace about Candle Cove. Also, I just found something, and it points to another thing "annaz" said on Grace's blog.

Booba mentioned Cook County, Minnesota, so I started googling. I figured it was a place that might be a lead, but we need a more definite spot than a whole county to send Grace to. Turns out Cook County borders Lake Superior. Lake Superior does have a beach, where the water would ebb and flow/wax and wane.

Then Dia Renalda reminded me of "annaz" most recent post.

"Are we feeling a little Superior?"
With Superior capitalized.

So is this person a player with us? If not, then he/she is leading us to clues and Booba is on the right track with cook county, but where?

Edit: Cook county is also filled with forests, which appear to be pine. Many times a bad guy has lead a person to where they needed to be, just to have them leave and later come back. It's possible this is where Derek is as well?

Edit 2: Annaz is just a player. And is apparently on the same track as us. If he/she isn't one of us. lol. Too many differences in usernames.

Yaha, Jester would impede her somehow so let's hope for the best and reckon we'll know soon enough. Can't help pondering that an echo is also heard in a wishng well, origin of the word "moore" means wet place & canyons are formed by erosion (water waning). Still wondering about the water both "waxing & waning".

[Dia Renalda]

Random nerd moment: I get excited when they answer my questions. I've had like three, even though they lead nowhere. >_>

Anyway. Has anyone actually read the House of Leaves? Is it possible that they're taking more from it than just letters and phrases? Moore might be a name inside of there.

Edit: That blog we got the beef canoe from? Also has entries on the other fears, including the Jester. Also, that book the House of Leaves? The guy from the Dance of Fortune answered my question about the book and hinted t go ahead and read it. Well, I went ahead and skimmed through the appendix. On the first page that the word "echo" is mentioned, Karen is mentioned. No way is that a coincidence. I'm going to keep looking through the book.

Moore

Thanks :) I just try to only double post when necessary, it looks unsymmetrical.
