 		Actually I posted that post at the exact same time as your post and the forum chose your post instead. I did see your post afterward and figured I had better post it anyways.

I bow to your abilities Wink

 		I might have missed it but I'm assuming no one actually just tried emailing?!

I mailed them and said I was interested in their services...

 		Let's hope G.A.T.E.'s use of easy atbash becomes their standard That's why, mrsHS, your email may said to be signed by: T.H. Efool (aka G.S. Vullo)

In reply to my tweeting the new email to Winter Sylvana she wrote:
The higher ups won't be happy that an email was leaked, though it can't be an important contact or it wouldn't be so simple.

EDITED: To place a directer link to the atbash cipher

 		Nice job everybody. Geez. I am out of commission for one day and I feel days behind Smile

So, now we have a page with a globe, an email address and a blank list with 4 items.

G.S. Vullo (aka The Fool) is telling us that the Page card is not the desired first card. But rather, the card in Paris (as indicated by the Eiffel Tower clue) is the one that is needed.

It seems we are waiting for the next task/clue. Am I missing anything?

 		Hi phenexfirf. All the recent kloos/solves stuff happened in just the last few hours so you're A-OK. Winter did just post two new entries in her Cardkeepers Blog 'tho.
What Max's Paris contact hinted about the next card
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
She said: "It's been a long, cold, lonely winter." (ala the Beatles tune) So, my best guess is he'll need The SUN card.

 		I don't understand the new task.
Quote:
6. Create an illuminated key word that represents your chosen card and email to Winter. The keyword charts on this site may help: http://www.learntarot.com/charts.htm (50 points)


I read the wiki site, but that didn't help. Are we seriously suppose to create a miniature painting with golden frames? Laughing Could someone please give me a simpler example of this?

 		I believe Winter wants us to come up with a key word representing your chosen card and "illuminate" the word. In this case, make the text of the word pretty and colorful, much like in texts of old.

For instance, since I am the Wheel of Fortune, I will choose the key word "Destiny" and design it...although I am not sure how I am going to do it yet...

 		Thanks!
I also saw Berndt's design, so now I have better idea of what to do Razz (I was also so ready to do a miniature painting with golden frames)

In a reply regarding the new G.A.T.E. email Winter wrote:
After receiving your email I read the cards and encountered a strange sense of openness regarding G.A.T.E., so I contacted one of the representatives I know there. She informed me that while G.A.T.E. does not want me to act as a consultant (for reasons I won't go into), that several Keepers had contacted her and she advised them that they have to seek referral from another consultant. She just notified me this morning that Aiden has acted on their behalf and subsequently they will be opening up the application process shortly (for Keepers only).

So G.S. Vullo from G.A.T.E. is in contact with Winter & Aiden always could work miracles Cool : http://www.followthecards.com/join.html

 		I don't know if everyone got the mail, but Page Hildebrand (btw, hild=battle and brand=sword) said that a card can only be submitted by the one holding it. So, Spencer, the Keeper of the Sun should try it out.

 		Hello Elethamei. Have we met Page Hildebrand earlier in this story? Can you please post their email address & maybe the email you received here? Thanks.

 		Oh, sure. It's the G.A.T.E email address infoSPLATfollowthecards.com. I tried to submit the Sun card and then I got two emails.

Subject: "card submission" wrote:
To Whom It May Concern:

This card can only be submitted by the one who holds it.

Sincerely,

Page Hildebrand
G.A.T.E. Representative

Subject: "internal memo" wrote:
To Whom It May Concern:

After recently being contacted by several Keepers it has come to our attention that it is time to move our mission to Phase II. We have also been contacted by Consultant 64 who has advised us to begin the process of accepting applications from Keepers who wish to act as consultants.

Be advised that although we will open up the application process shortly, this process will be extremely rigorous. We do not expect to accept a large number of consultants. In what capacity we will utilize these consultants has yet to be determined.

I will keep you posted on the process as it unfolds.

Sincerely,

Page Hildebrand

After accepting an application to JOIN the anonymous G.A.T.E. rep. wrote:
Thank you for your interest in becoming a G.A.T.E. consultant. We have accepted part one of your application.
Your confirmation number is 2015. crfdqusjcdzyqbvnnd

The letter string is a cipher. Not the usual suspects Laughing with a hint in the JOIN reply
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's a Gronsfeld Cipher with standard alphabet. The cipher key is 2015. It reads: are you ready to build.
