Okay, whose login is misstree, and, while I'm at it, do you have any other bad puns you'd like to share with the class?


Anyway, it gives us a new keyword.

Interesting place on that website to point to....

The key here is the comment.

So, what we do is click on the other pages, then add onto the back of the url the following:
?keyword=accoutrements


With will.php, this gives us....
Though I usually attempt to return to the source as closely as possible, later thinkers have their own innovations. The Empire of Wolf and Eagle, for example, created hundreds of deities and spirits to populate their world. The process of death for those citizens was quite involved. If someone came bodily to the nether realms, which do you suppose would be called to separate out their eternal spirit?


With energy.php, this gives us....
"I am an intiate of the Eighth Rank!" she cried. "I have mastered the Three Disciplines and stood before each of the Seven Judges! I have fourteen blessings and I demand entry to the gate! I have received the fealty of--

There was a soft sound, as a breath of air in this stagnant place. A sharp whisper of parting. Her eyes stared up from the ground, beneath the metallic shine of her golden crown, above a seeping stain of red.

She stared at the faceless apparition, hand flying involuntarily to her head to feel the absence of comforting weight.

The thing gestured courteously to her.

Feel Free.


That's a good start.

 		My bad!!

Miss Tree is me. Rowan = type of tree. (Tho my name comes from a book by Anne McCaffrey. Come to think of it, however, Rowan was named after the tree in the book, if I remember right.)

Seems vis emailed me on the 18th. I've never been known to check my email on a daily basis - and my ARG-only email I usually only check when I hear there might be an email update on a game.

dictionaries are wonderful things arent they miss tree


Not entirely sure what he means by that - unless it's refering to my horrendous spelling that has plagued me with the last few puzzle trails I've done. (btw - I swear I tried accoutrements as a keyword before. So, either I spelled something wrong again or they just added it) Though who cares! It's an update! Very Happy

----

edit: Oh, I think I tried accoutrement singular. *sigh*

edit #2: updated the wiki. The stuff on idea sounds vaguely familiar. For some reason, it reminds me of the last Indiana Jones movie when he's talking to the Knight Templar. The stuff on energy is just distrubing. Why did they cut off her head?!? As for will, empire of the eagle reminds me of Rome. But, it is almost 2 in the morning so I'm sure my thinking isn't straight. I'll start doing research on all this stuff in the morning unless someone beats me to it.

 		Well, I got one clue.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
That rant ending with the words, "Feel Free"?

Yep, Feel Free into door_to makes a new door_to page:

"Do you?"

"Do I what?"

"Feel free?"

"Not particularly."

Source code: jtwwlgnqap
ROT-18: bloodyfish


And *maybe* a second.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I entered vidstudent into door_to (that would be myself, as the idea accoutrements page discussed) and got a page titled "Huh?"
Text: Why are YOU asking ME?


Note for above that, if correct, each person likely has their own code word for the door.

 		Gah, I missed everything this weekend! And then unfiction was down right when I wanted to get on.

The conversation from "feel free" sounds familiar, and I want to say it seems like something from Douglas Adams. Not sure what "bloody fish" is supposed to mean though.

I'm not having much luck with the rest of it, either. Sumerian mythology has seven "judges" in the afterlife.
From http://www.faqs.org/faqs/mythology/sumer-faq/:
Quote:
In the "Descent of Inanna to the
Nether World" the Anunnaki are identified as the seven judges of the
nether world.


Of course, the "initiate of the Eighth Rank" and three disciplines sounds vaguely Masonic (Knights Templar would fit too).

Ahh!
From http://www.jelder.com/mythology/inanna.html
Quote:
As the myth begins, Inanna, the Queen of Heaven and Earth has already established a relationship with Enki, the God of Wisdom and Waters. He has gifted her with the fourteen me, or blessings of power, which she readily accepts...


It fits with the story of Inanna, but not sure if that's all that helpful.
