 		strange photos
I found this
http://www.flickr.com/photos/19793326@N00/

which is really bizarre.

it was only created on the 4th may 2005, so i'm not sure if it's authentic or not.

the symbols are intriguing though.

 		Another vague, painful clue.
Bizarre; yeah, I'd say so too. Is that a "T4" on the star, pinned to the tree? I looked up "Whites Farm" "Isle of Man" (I hope I remembered correctly that the three-legged symbol is from there), and it looks like Whites Farm is a cottage/accomodation spot in Norfolk. No idea what it means, though.

 		assuming this is real.
Perhaps somone should start and account and make a comment. Perhaps get brigid to confirm this is 'in game', that being said we should probably assume this IS in game.

If you do a search of isle of man and whites farm you get an address and a phone number, assuming the one from google is the one. Can somone in England give them a call and confirm this pic is of their place? and Perhaps why the Isle of Mann Crusader symbol is on their sign, condiering they are located north east of London, they arent anywhere near the isle of mann.

Maybe... somone could go to this Whites Farm and give it a look over. Try to locate this Star T4 symbol. Maybe there is a clue, or something. Maybe the location has some significance.

Now looking at these pics i see that they both have tags and titles.

Star T4, "The Worth of a Thing" Sable

Whites Farm(crusader), "Is what it will bring" Shuck



My first thoughts are, The star (and Aleph), lead us to Peel.

Also.... no one has thought of this yet. but, those little boxes that
are for the number of each symbol. accept letters as well.
The star isnt one of them, but maybe thats a hint that T4 would be the
stars "number".
Thats not reassuring as that adds about 30 trillion extra possibilities
to our solution.

I still cant figure how this helps us.

 		A bit of a Google on this reveals that "T4" is used in formulas to describe tribonacci sequences.

A tribonacci sequence appears to be similar to a fibonacci one, expect that instead of adding the last two numbers together, you add the last three.

So you get

1 1 2 4 7 13 24 etc etc etc

Since we've seen fibonacci seqences all over the place, maybe this "T4" relates to tribonacci in some way.

 		Maybe T4 describes a fibonacci type sequence where one adds the previous *four* numbers together?

 		I don't know if this is any good, but here are some anagrams of "Whites Farm"

A FEW HRS TIM
FATHER SWIM
WITH FRAMES
WHARF ITEMS
WEST HAM FIR
IT HARMS FEW
SWARM THIEF
WARM FETISH
SAW THE FIRM

...and there are plenty of anagrams with real words in them, but I'm not seeing much relevance.

 		Who is Tom?
on 2 April Tom posted this:-

Quote:
There still is more you cannot see.

3 heads, trees and more


...3 heads?... 3 legs

seems like Tom had seen brigid's photos BEFORE she posted them on 4th May - presumable the photos were genuinely posted by Brigid coz she's emailed people about them.

..so who is Tom...

If Tom does have info to which we are not privy, he also posted this "clue" on the same day

As far as I know she's only emailed me, and that was because I joined PhotoFlkr and sent a comment. We still don't have any sort of proof that the photos are a real in game thing and not just someone messing about.

Most of the stuff we've seen so far has some kind of backup elsewhere in the game, maybe a mention on another in game site or something. These photos don't, as far as I can see.

 		it may be worth e-mailing the "real" Brigid to see if she did post them, otherwise we will be wasting time puzzling over false clues..

 		Mailing Brigid
I have... twice. She still hasnt emailed me back.
Although other than the autoresponce from joining
her site in the beginning. she has never mailed me.
Im almost thinking other than the few people she mailed
in the beginning. She has them on an address book and
everyone else is getting filtered out.

She never responds to me.

Perhaps someone who HAS gotten a responce could mail her
just to be sure the mail is actually getting thru.

I feel like im firing blanks at a brick wall. ... sigh.
