Just got this email:

Quote:
Some have realised where we are now. Forest is in a sleep. He will be dreaming soon - of actions and consequences - meanwhile, we offer one last hope for those who are here and call him friend: Join the dots together - not just an outline...

Sorry for the confusion, but no tie-in.

For a time at least.

I was talking with the Watchman.

I wrote:
A question, Mr. Fair.
Watchman, tell us of the night,
Why is it necessary to cut of Forest's energy? Others have informed us that all beings draw upon the Green's power.
What its signs of promise are.
So why must Forest specifically be removed?

Sincerely,
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

The Watchman wrote:
We are the Watchman, the Green - this is our voice, Mr Fair is no more - he is - we are - the Green.
Forest drains the Green exponentially, not systematically - for every epoch that he exists, one tree is felled, one land depleted, one soul consumed. All draw on, yet return back - he does not.

The night? Its promise? We are lost mortal - we merely offer our thanks. We also note one with your use of ten duotrigintillion you learn of one facet of us... we recall how linear your thoughts can be so remind you all [the mortal race] that we just use words and numbers that appeal to us. While 'Green' echoes around that fictional species quite a lot, we do not wish you to lose sight of joining the dots - share with others our words - we will be thankful at a point in the future...

I would say so.

So, have "Howard Fair?" and "F.F.E.Y.-T. Venice" officially converged?

She seems to have a lot to do with Forest and the Watchman. References to eclipse way back, the Autumnal Equinox, and mentioning of the 'watchful'/Watchman.

Edit--Has anyone noticed that the o's in that image a few pages back looks a lot like the constellation Auriga, the charioteer? It could also look like Cepheus, which is named after a King.

Definitely Howard Fair related, but I'm not sure how exactly.

For those who don't know the details about "The Lost Will Be Found", the reference that I can see is to the two "missing" Tarot cards that I learned about during the Tarot by Saranna ARG, numbers 81 and 82. Jupiter and Juno. http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/herstelde-orde/review.shtml
Quote:
The two extra cards 'restored' to the deck are Intuition, represented by Juno and standing for the female, negative, and yin aspect; and Truth, represented by Jupiter and standing for the male, positive, yang aspect.


Also related- I was informed by Twitter of a new follower a few days ago: @tarotbysaranna, who's current location is "Between". What this confirms (or at least enhances) is my Jupiter and Juno idea, due to the image choice. http://a1.twimg.com/profile_images/1516901524/junoandjupiter.jpg

Anyways, while this may be entirely separate from the 16:19 issue, I thought it best to mention it.

I found some vague reference to this phrase "Venus rose in Leo to mark the scepter". I've also been searching 28 08 19:16 The Watchman.

Edit--It's Biblical, I think. The Bible references a Watchman, and 19:16 turns out to be a passage about him, in 2 Kings. I've sent off my email; awaiting a response.

Edit2--I was right about the Biblical Watchman, but not the link to Byron. It still seems something to do with constellations. Perhaps, the Hunter, Orion? I don't see an immediate link, so I'm going to have to research. Btw, the Watchman is a condescending asshat!

I was afraid this would happen, since we didn't get much of anywhere...

Quote:
None have understood what is missing from what we sent recently and therefore non have constellated the ideas we offer...

We cannot directly contravene our laws and rules. We do not seek to hurt or kill, but if it comes to it - we will protect what is ours first.

The Watchman.

No one seemed to catch the hidden messages before decoding the base64 message:

Bold: SooNWeComE
Italics: helpUS
Underlined: 2808

2808 means, August 28th--today. Soon the Green comes. Help the Green.

19:16 means, help the Green at 19:16. GMT 0, I'm sure. This time already passed? 1916 is Jack Vance's birth year.

Oh yeah, that was attached to mine as well. I just forgot about it. Embarassed

EDIT: Thanks to a comment from Forest on his twitter I found the meaning of the e-mail's title "ninety and another five". Today, August 28, is Jack Vance's birthday. He turned 95 today.

Gee, thanks for doing all the work >> Razz

I've been a part of the "sister" ARG as well, and it seems both sides are asking for help. Very strange.

The William Blake quote comes from "Auguries of Innocence".
Reference: http://www.artofeurope.com/blake/bla3.htm

As for the green text,

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Base64 ==> Base64 ==> Dec/Char

Translation:
The soldier, arm'd with sword and gun,
Palsied strikes the summer's sun.

Translated text from William Blake's "Auguries of Innocence"
