It's all getting so confused, I put some of our "knowns" on a spreadsheet.
13 is a recurring theme so it is lists of 13.
Items in green are in proper order.
If there is more to add or move around, let me know.

If I post the spreadsheet, itself, will we be able to use it?

I am new to all of this, I usually stay in my little point n click world, so if this is an ignorant question please forgive me. Shylilembrace is listed as one of orkid's friends in livejournal. So does that mean that orkid is real if shylilembrace is real, if orkid is involved than shylilembrace is involved?
i may or may not be real/involved. I may or may not be connected to XORkid

[quote="Rogi Ocnorb"][quote="Debra"]Also, did anyone ever figure out the 13 scribes, if there are just 13 of them?
Quote:


I noticed that the http://www.triskabiblios.com/extraduction.html page keeps adding new links.
When I first went into it, only "13th September" and "13th March" had active links.
"13th May" and "13th October" are active, now, going to content we've all seen.
Could we be seeing pages added each day? Pages added as scribes are assigned? Was anyone assigned the "Dixon" page? I think we know who the others belong to.

I also went back and rethought what I'd come up with, so far and found something for my task.
The two most releveant things I could glean from my page were "x marks the spot" in the title source and "graeme wants a word". I went down the graeme path and came up with the Treasure hunt thing.
Going back to the Studio 54 page and the added entry on I's original post, I googled "tay la nore kayla soyana" and got two links. The 2nd of which takes you here:[url]tomcat-dmaweb1.jrc.it/fuzzyg/ maps/?long=1600&lat=65500&label=Djeme[/url]
No idea if it's relevant or not, but that sure looks like an "X" marking a spot.
"Djeme sounds a lot like Graeme, but searching for it on his page produces no hits.


It looks as if the "tay la nore kayla soyana" is Elvish. Kayla means "wise child" in elvish.

The reply has a heading of "Austin Library" and (Okay don't blast me for stretching this), but if you anagram "tay la nore kayla soyana", one of the combinations is "SANTAYANA OAKLEY ROYAL", all authors, but for which I can't find distinct connections.
I'm wondering if we shouldn't have daphne dust off her library card.

tay la nore kayla soyana

This is what I found (in Quenya):

lá/no,not;more than (conj.)
nóre/country,land;race


There is also

Quote:
laa no, on the contrary, & incredulous questions {la} (ETYM)


from this site.

I haven't another post about this, so let me know if you think i'm on the wrong track but in one of Triscal's posts at Graeme's, he said, "there's a
three cornered mystery around every corner."

This is where I was led when I googled "Three Cornered Mystery"

I assumed it was just a reference to the vibration13 logo.

Carolyn Keene is the 'author' of the Nancy Drew books. Something tells me that this has nothing to do with our current situation.

I agree with Phae. It's not Elvish. I think I know the site you were looking at. The actual elvish for "Wise Child" is Sairahiniel. According to this site, Kayla is actually Persian for "wise child" (although I take no claims as to how accurate it is).

A few things...I might have missed you guys going past it, but I'll try.

1. James Thurber wrote a book called The Thirteen Clocks. It's a children's story, and Thurber was a philosopher so this was a break in his usual routine. But it could be a red herring.

2. The poem, "under the spreading chestnut tree..." is indeed from "1984" - but it is also in a movie. The Matrix. Alternate Universe reference?

3. The picture below is from the front page. There are several cryptic references to "it's in the last place you look." Any thoughts?

EDIT

4. Greame's "tip" from his scribe page is this:

http://www.vibration13.com/triskabiblios/scribes/graeme/random.html

Notice the "random" at the end?

Well, if you go to Vibration13, there is a "random" link that takes you to a guy in a Pelican mask.

????

Too obscure to matter?

Now, this may be a great big huuuugee stretch...but....an anagram of the elvish sounding gibberish is:

Tanaka Loyola Years

This being a whole 'Time' thing, I thought that the 'Years' bit was noteworthy. Also, for whatever reason.....Universities have also come up several times thus far. There is a Loyola College, Loyola University and a Loyola Marymount University.

Coincidentally....if you Google Tanaka Loyola.....there are several hits. None seem to make sense to me though.

Just something else to ponder I guess.

Good grief am I confused.

They use it in the matrix too?? that would fit in with the weird stuff. but 1984 is apparently linked somehow as thats when you have to turn your time back to.
