For all those thinking that the 'S' in the login clues isn't Sylvia, I think that we can confirm it is. We know that the iris password is correct and I don't think pietro would use the S abbreviation twice but for different people. That's just not logical, and logic seems to have some importance in Perplex City. The 'I' however may not be referring to pietro, so thats still a possibility. And one more thing - the "where S and I met" clue could also be referring to where they met regularly rather than where they first met.

surely it would be meet not met? if it was somewhere regular, or else the tense is wrong... about songs tho; i was thinking more earth related than perplexian cos they seem to fill in the gaps in perplexian culture with english stuff, like cheddar bread etc, otherwise we'd have a headache trying to understand anything perplexian...

Sorry if this seems obvious, but could the clue mean: Where Sylvia and Iris met?

Yeah, could be that the I is Iris and not "I, Pietro Salk".

Erm, aren't we all getting a few wires crossed here? As far as I recollect, we discovered that 'iris' was likely to be the identity of Sylvia's favourite flower (because an iris is, after all, a type of flower). Although we tried the pasword, it didn't open up anything. At the time, the assumption was not that the password was incorrect, but that the access was not on - line yet. Admitedly, I think we got 'iris' through brute force - there's no logical reason in game why we should have worked it out as the answer...and that may well be why it's of no use to us. The game isn't ready for it yet.

Yes, the clue as to the meeting place could be imply that it was not where Sylvia and Pietro met (although, frankly, as this is Pietro's log we're talking about, I find it kind of hard to follow the thought process that would choose a password relating to a meeting held between his wife and somebody else!). But 'I' surely has nothing to do with 'Iris', because 'iris' is not a person, in this context. Well, unless Sylvia developed her love for irises at a specific park, or something...

Frankly, I think it much more likely that we just haven't had the information given to us to unlock this passcode. Pietro's reference to his father was not, for instance, terribly hard to decipher once we'd got a clue - it was precisely the sort of memorable, but personal, password you'd come up with to encode information in a hurry.

I was having a look back at this and thinking what if 'where S and I met' refers to the dream that makes up the logs. If you think that S could mean 'she' it seems feasible; the dream has them meeting finally in the centre of the maze.

Trouble is, I've tried maze, centre, heart, dream and a few other variations. No such luck as yet.

Okay, this is going to sound stupid, but I made this connection and can't get it out of my head... Maybe Mazy Wave Court (mentioned recently in Scarlett's blog) has something to do with where Pietro and Sylvia met? I've tried it a few times myself, but got nothing

I've tried the variations I can think of. Basically whenver I see a new place either from the cards or from the Sentinel I tend to try them. Either I have not struck the right way of spelling or the ones i've tried are wrong.

(The third alternative is that the page is not up yet but I tend to assume it is just for my own sake)

I wrote a little script to try variations of passwords for me, that way I don't have to manually try every combination of MAZE, maze, Maze, etc.

I've thrown the name of every place I've found at it (names from the card maps, web sites, etc) and no luck so far. The script keeps a log of every combination it has tried so I suppose I could post that somewhere... Maybe the wiki? I may have missed more than a few possible locations.

Geeze I hope not. I'm hoping that if the page isn't up yet it'll behave like the favorite flower page and just redirect us back to the homepage.

Of course I still think that the favorite flower URL isn't complete and we need to figure out the name of the file to request...

I'm clutching at straw here again, BUT!... the last two password answers both appear as letters in the line of the URL poem.

That's not helpful at all, is it? Sad

Actually that would probably be very helpful, but it's not quite true. The letters all appear, not necessarily enough times.

In the case of vincent there's one too few N's in "myvoicereturnstome" (unless somehow I'm not counting correctly, it's late Smile )

It hasn't really been my week for acute observations, has it? Sad

It looks like they've decided that "iris" was too easy an answer - it no longer works as a password. Back to the flower dictionary I guess Rolling Eyes

You know, reading the new entry makes me think (not too sure about spoiler policy, so just to be safe . . .)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Do you think Pietro was killed by this neuro-inihitor? The symptoms sort of sound like what he went through . . . .
