It isn't the SAME receipt.
The text of the new one has different amounts.
Actually, they don't make for proper "amounts", at all.
I'm only gonna try to interpret the first amount on the sheet as I don't have a good eye for that sort of thing.

--------------------
AMOUNT
--------------------
12,39,903.00

Looks like it was just drawn on another sheet of the blue bar computer paper and either photocopied or run through a scanner other than the one used on Graeme's receipt.

It can't be an IP address due to the third "node"
Any other ideas?

Also...
If I,m reading it correctly. the text at the bottom of the picture is:

bGgCGi
Can't come up with anything on that except for a base 36 to base 10 conversion of:
684132924
Could that be a UK phone number?
EDIT: Disregard as I now see the obvious "Peace:" text.
I was looking at it inverted and rotated trying to see the "amounts".
Told you I was bad at pulling text from graphics.

Oh...
And, if Toby's "major" at university is psych, we may all just be the rats!

You all are making this analogy between Islington and the Pied Piper - and you're treating it like he's leading us all to a better world, a more peaceful future.. whatever. The Pied Piper, as I remember, wasn't exactly benign. He stole the children from the parents because they didn't pay him. It's not as if they went of their own free will - he led the kids off to "a joyous land" the same way he led the rats off to die. Just because he said he was doing them a favor doesn't make it true.

Maybe we should consider - since it hasn't really been looked at in this light, yet - that Islington isn't the "good guy" we all seem to expect him to be? I'd hate to be caught with my pants down, as it were.

And while I'm thinking about it, I've noticed an elongated sort of half-moon shape showing up in several places. It flashes up momentarily in the animation on the main Triskabiblios webpage, and it also seems to be a feature in the Book Zero image - with the word "peace" written lightly in the band. Any thoughts?

Before my scribe page changed, at the bottom it said something (no I can't remember what), and the number IV. I thought perhaps the page wasn't finished because previous roman numerals on scribe pages were links to pages from a book.

Today, my scribe page changed leading (through the binary code) to the book The Pied Piper of Hamelin, on the University of Indiana. The question on my page was, "who am I?"

On the title page of the book "P 13" is handwritten.

This is the page with the chapter IV

I was thinking along those same lines KitKat, Very Happy

I realized that the "infinite" seemed to be a religious sort of reference to hinduism (running across the term "infinite" in my personal searches/studies into different religions). And in doing my own search, I elaborated it to include the Upanishads, and some of the results seem at least informative, if not promising.

Also, to quote Shy's scribe page:

I did think that the references to games, make the game real etc was commenting on Shy's desire to write videogames.

I have been following this from the start however, and definitely do get a sense of the spiritual emanating from all of this.

peacegames VS war games

Just a random thought.

We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers, planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the mantra, peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic, the search for the grail
-John Lennon

Heh. Wink

Hmm...people on this thread keep on getting chosen, that either means that somebody is watching the thread, or somebody who is working on the site is a member...

I posted this at lazylaces...

ok story time!
today at my school we were having a book discussion on the books we read over the summer. I had read Life of Pi. We had to write down 3 questions to ask during the event so of course i was doing this on the bus on the way to school... anyway. I had my book with me and I was looking at the cover and then I looked down at the Author name, "Yann Martel" I was like "hmmm... Yann... where have I heard that... "*DING* (lightbulb). So yeah, no coincidences right? Is Life of Pi one of our books? It is about a boy who is lost at sea with just a tiger named richard parker. And the boy practices 3 religions: hinduism, christianity, and islam. It isn't just a story of survival, but of faith.
