I have been doing some thinking about the significance of the "tortuga" link on the moon phases page. The tortuga site is promoting a worldwide calendar reform enabling global use of the 13 month lunar calendar. Many non-western cultures (Hindu, Muslim, Chinese) already use this system while Westerners mark the passage of time using a lunar-solar combination called the Gregorian calendar which has its basis in Christianity. It should also be noted that the Jewish peole have their own seperate calendar system.
My point is, maybe the tortuga link is there to get us thinking about the arbitrary nature of time itself. Time is really just a mentally percieved phenomenon. That is, it is not something that we physically percieve through our senses, but something we have come up with intellectually. This may be a stretch...but if different cultures are operating using different measurements of time, then it is possible that at any given moment two individuals of different cultures may be existing simultaneously at different "times". For example, by the Gregorian calander we are currently in the 2005th year, but according to the Jewish calander (which counts from the day of creation) we are already in the year 5765. So. in all actuality, time travel is possible as long as you travel across cultures and not in some spaceship.
Anyway, I hope this makes sense and doesn't sound too crazy.
Edit: Sorry if my post is too long

Audioslave, although your post sorta sparked mine, it wasn't directed at you. I was pretty much addressing everyone who had been doubting MG's intentions that hadn't actually spoke with her about it... I understand that you were just being a good observer and there's nothing wrong with that, I'm sure we're all glad to have great eyes like yours here in the community. I'm sorry you took it that I was attacking you.

I had just got done catching up from yesterday and had seen how many people had spec'd MG's original post to no end, (I should have addressed that in my post, that was my mistake) and I was just giving her a little backup. (I can't help defending a friend, it's my nature. You'll find in time I'm quite loyal.)

I apologize if this offended you, that's the most terrible thing about the internet, sometimes miscommunication happens.
Words are words---alone, they have no feeling, no expression. We gather our own interpretation from what we see, collectively from our own personal experience...

A thousand pardons for my trespass.

ETA: Let's all just tear down the fort walls and put this behind us and move forward. Spread a little love, a little comfort, and a little happiness. Can we call a truce?

hey all
i'm new to the world of args so ive just been lurking for the past few days but I had a couple thoughts so i figured i'd toss em' out there.

1)triska and Triscal sound very similar hmm.

2)the f with the sideways 8 on graemes scribe page could mean fate (kinda like l8ter) no idea how it relates to triska but there it is.

3)on the page of islingtons notebook with the names of the authors did anyone else notice the stone in the upper right hand corner. looks kinda like the one in tobys scribe page.

well theres my 2 cents
i dont know where this will lead but i cant wait to find out.

[audioslave]

just for the record, I was never mad nor offended, I was just trying to clarify, I never ment any disrespect to anybody nor did I want to star anything, thanks for understanding anyyway, let's get back on track

Just an observation, but I believe the stones on Islington's notebook, and Toby's scribe page are obsidian. Toby's may be snowflake obsidian.

Hi
Just out of curiosity, why does the guy in islington's notebook have a hole in his sixth Chakra? Cause I just watched a CSI where they shot a guy there (Its his third eye) and, well, again with the coincidences. For what its worth, I plan to find out the name of that bridge on Monday, I hope 6sided^2 can catch you up on how we got to talking about that.
Yours most sincerely

Hey, I'm hoping no one posted this yet. When I right clicked the picture in duckie's scribe page (hi duckie!) I felt like pressing play so I did and then my mouse moved around a kind of spotlight circle on the picture but I realized it was zooming in and I found this



Which is Here on the map.



X marks the spot =)

[Infanta]

Damn!!!

i left for a little bit and all hell breaks loose. New pages all over the place, MG getting an actual book in the mail (which i have read btw), new scribes.

i feel like i have almost missed too much to keep going, but ill do what i can

just when i thought it was getting boring...

EDIT: typoartist22, yeah saw that. Duckie does that map look like any place you know? maybe start digging!

[Mountain Girl]

Nice to see you. Duckie. Have you looked for the key?
