Wait, was this there last night when the blogs got updated?

Because if not, hay, it was totally my idea. ):

okay, so classical is "the second" with "cubits150" I am "the third" with "cubits60" there has to be, at the very least, a first.. unless there's some nonsensical game at work here.. so out with it!

I haven't gotten any messages, so I'm pretty sure I'm not it.

And too cute about Port's response to the picture! I'm glad something good's come out of it all.

That's the 'enigma' address that led us to the Hazeltine blog way back when. It's very much IG, as I got one as well that just said 'cubits150'.

... n-not that I know what it means. 150 cubits is somewhere between 218 - 221 feet, depending on who's measuring; 60 cubits is about 88 feet.

Also: I got this while at work, about four hours back.

I don't know what you said to Port but he has been just staring at the computer for the past hour.

And I'm thinking, shit! I broke Port!

I failed to get this message, though, that came about an hour earlier because Twitter did not forward it to my phone (fucking Twitter).

Hahah, aww.

Cubits is a measurement. It could mean 60 cubits.

I have a funny feeling that this isn't related to I'm Sorry, however. I could be wrong, though.

EDIT: I stand corrected.

okay so I got an email today, about an hour ago, and normally I would have just passed it off as spam and been done with it.. But it's definitely not trying to sell anything, it's got some strange numbers involved (yay codes), and it's from a yahoo account. too many things coinciding with our game for me to ignore.

the email is from a "Rich Adams", email address "the_45_126_81_63_117_9@yahoo.com" (maybe people have already been emailed by this guy in the past, dunno)

The message has no subject, and the body is "cubits60"

No idea what this means. Here's a screenshot too.

Im not part of the "order" on this one, so I call not it.

okay, so i talked to classical for a bit and she's got me caught up on where we're at, gamewise, despite my inability to process the information. At least now I'm confused with a lot of info, instead of confused with no info.. Now, on to the private message I got. It seems the PM wants me back in the game, because I received a message from Kelvinator on the forums about 5 hours ago, entitled "Order" The body of the message was, "You are the third." Classical got the same PM, but she is "the second". soooo.. who's the rest of our order?

Welcome back tempest.

It looks like they might be picking players at random. Maybe the symbols have something to do with the players they are choosing. I have looked over the yuan again hoping I missed something but, alas nothing has magically appeared.

Well the search for the map continues.

Well, I just heard back from my brother about the Chinese characters, and it's not good. He said that there appear to be several characters within one, painted on top of each other basically. So being the clever guy he is - he forwarded it to a bunch of his friends to take a look at. One, a young lady born and raised in Hong Kong, and just recently came to the US. She doesn't have a clue. She said the characters are all muddled. She said she felt a bit embarrassed she wasn't able to pick anything out of it. He said he's going to keep looking into it - and see if he can't decipher it brush stroke by stroke - but he's got to find his book on it first. Until then - if anyone else knows of a way to decipher this - it'd be a good idea to jump on it.

Same problem here. I asked the help of a friend of mine from china, and she has the same problem with reading the symbols. She did tell me that the most right symbol is 康 , which can mean a lot, but the most common translation is healthy. Also one symbol on the left is 文, which means article. An the left part of the middle thing does mean small. Hope this helps =/

Hrr hrr, okay, so I take it back. I remain as clueless as ever.

Who else got 'em? SPEAK UP

well you should get in there right now, so I can talk to you about this PM I got <3

[classical]

what!
HI TEMPEST ♥

We still hang out in the chat! It's been kinda dead lately, though that might just be to my crap timing.

[Tempestdevil]

so uh.. i didn't know this was all back and such, and I just got a PM relating to it.. Are we still congregating in the IRC channel or how do I get in touch with you guys again? :3

Good to know you're ok. I'm working on finding you a way to get around Brightman. Many leads; no answers (yet). Alas. clas1ca: Found something earlier that belongs to you, though.

Since I don't think we've seen that image of Bean yet, figured I would forward it to Port and see what he says while we're in conversation, anyway!

Also, the more I think about this, the more I wonder if the images refer to like, page numbers of this thread or something. Like where we first discovered them. The only exception would be the Bean image, unless we have seen it and I'm totally forgetting.
I'm flipping through right now, though, so let's see what I find...
