scroll down to the bottom of the Discoveries by C.L. Turnage section - item #23 - The real meaning of the numbers 616 & 666
666 is probably the other perspective on sun/sol hinted at earlier - 666 being the total of all of the squares of the SOL 111 magic square
here's a link to a satanist site with more crud on 666/square/gematria
but srsly - i'm still playing catch up, so take w grain of salt
"Find me" i take as - we are supposed to be finding somebody...
so...
(666, 222, 444) (K, Kings) ... looking like an address to me ... K St is a major st in Wash DC ...
but that all still leads me nowhere at all ...
/me throws up hands again ...
In the iRC channel - Schwinn was speculating the same thing. He found an address in San Francisco here. Apparently it's for sale .. no names we know - but I'm afraid this is too much speculation again.. lol

777 - The neighbor of the beast!
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Seriously though, I wonder if it's not 666 but 222 (the difference between the two versions) which should bring a significantly less "busy" list of uses.

The post is just for visual representation. Here are the only changes to the poem that I could find
Quote:
But six young Oysters hurried up,[originally: four]
Six other Oysters followed them, [originally: four]
And yet another six more; [originally: four]
Of cabbages--and Kings-- [Changed capitalization: k-> K]
Shall we be trotting home again? [Added: (')]
The last two probably do not mean much.
So we have the title of the blog: Think think think... and 666
More than you ever wanted to know about the number 666.
In the Bible, the Book of Revelation (13:17-18 ) cryptically asserts 666 to be "the number of a man," associated with the beast, an antagonistic creature that appears briefly about two-thirds into the apocalyptic vision. The calculation of the number was a challenge that has inspired many would-be mystics and prophets ever since.
Quote:
In other fields
* 666 is the magic sum, or sum of the magic constants of a six by six magic square, any row or column of which adds up to 111.
Of course there are TONS of 666 related wikipedia pages I only picked out a few.
Quote:
The sum of all the numbers on a roulette wheel is 666.
I did not know that. My Grammy was right: "Gambling is the Debil" Oh and "the Foosball is the Debil"

Oh ho, see, that is why I don't do any thinking after midnight! Interesting, though. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

"The Walrus and the Carpenter"
looks verbatim except 3 instances of the word "four" changed to "six" ... so "sixsixsix" (for ref, in the 8th & 9th stanzas)

hi guys i had some real life issues going on but i'm back now, and decently caught up i think.
however, i've noticed some things that have been mentioned here and i don't know if they're being kept quiet on purpose or not, because there is NO WAY you guys missed this, and it's not mentioned here or the wiki.
i've left the info with munki, just in case this is some kind of secret, so talk to her about it when you get a chance, because i have to sleep.
<3
edit: nevermind munki found where it was on the wiki. now i feel dumb.

Too sleepy to decipher the meaning now. Someone else, brain for me.

the so-called clue bat reads like more obfuscation - couldn't "they", without coming right out and saying so, have found a more succinct way of hinting that you should, for instance, focus on "As A Man Thinketh"?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The biker in the German helmet is obviously Amber Tamblyn's dad.
Dennis Hopper? Wasn't he that washed-up actor who went around confounding rodeo crowds with his Russian Suicide Death Chair shtick back in the early 80s?

Ok, so I've had to re-read that email to Syn several times over the past hour. I can barely see thru the tears to type this. I'd like to pick a favorite part - but I'm not sure that's possible. However, the tears usually start around the "dancing girls".
I've been tempted several times to start assigning names to some of the bikers, (I'm the guy with the German helmet!!), but figured that probably wasn't productive. That was by far the funniest clue bat, I've ever encountered.
Aki - I don't think I agree with your assessment about not many people playing. I don't think it's the PM's fault necessarily that we've followed Noah Bennet (isn't that the cheerleader's dad in Heroes?) off on a tangent. From the beginning we have focused way more on the meta, the backstory, and like they said - trying to figure out where the story came from, as opposed to where it's going. I'm probably most guilty of it. But we've definitely bogged ourselves down with it. We've let ourselves get distracted by things like Kade, and other things that really had nothing to do with this.
If anything it's us the players that have scared others off, because WE have confused the living shit outta this - but damn it's been fun..
Now, all that being said - we need to put together what "facts" we have. I dunno about anyone else, but I have so completely confused myself with arbitrary information, I'm not sure what's relevant.
But the clue bat made it all very clear - and I think I know where we jumped off the freeway, and stopped following the RV full of girls. Oh yeah, and writers..
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
We need to go watch Easy Rider to see where Dennis Hopper ended up, figure out where the Mountain Dew cans were manufactured, see if we can't connect them somehow by dividing the size of the pyramids in cubits by Pi. And from there we should be able to determine who shot Kennedy, but 73 years before it happened.
Who's with me?
In all seriousness - thanks for the clue bat to the forehead - lol
=edit=
Ok yeah, no need to point it out. This post was as effective as the rest of my speculations.

.... ahahahahahah
I love this game.
Aki's got a point, though--so much wallbreaky, blurry, unconventional stuff is going on here, it's hard to figure out what's apart of the game and what isn't. Man.
But uh, if anything, that's our equivalent of the Pat Buchanan book. Now to figure out what the, er, hypothetical bikers are missing out on, here. Crap.

This game is so strange.
How can we ignore anything when so much is being thrown at us? People telling us stuff we don't need to know, people telling us that we need to know things we don't need to know, people telling us to ignore what those other people are telling us...
Dude, no wonder hardly anyone is playing this. It's next to impossible to follow.
