how did you figure it out


I tried to print it out, but after 15 min it didn't print. I then figured out that the printer was messed up and restarted it. It then printed from photoshop. I ran across the hall and showed it to a native Chinese speaker who instantly told me what it was. I ran back and typed "Architect" in to the LCP search field. The card came up! I said "YESSS!!", then looked down and saw Mapmaker's name as the finder. Crying or Very sad

Now I feel bad Wink Anyway, for my part, I know some Japanese, and was busy looking up the Kanji on the Intarweb here when I accidentally took a link from one of the Kanji's entries in a dictionary and came to the Unicode site for that character. Scrolling down, I found the translation right there.

Great Job! To the winner go the spoils! But all I can give is a quicklink to add another poker buddy to your count!

I think Harry's dead.

That would explain the contents of Harry's pockets on Don's page.

I'm not so sure. For one thing, Harry is still listed as "Alive" on LCP, although we all know how reliable that is...

More importantly, the contents of Harry's Pockets are dated October 8, 2005, the same as the "Disney Dad" entry on Harry's page. To me, this implies that Don lifted Harry's wallet when Harry invited him over to his place last Saturday night. It doesn't necessarily mean the shooting took place there and then.

(Of course, since I haven't actually heard the phone call yet, what do I know?)

Having now heard the phone call -- and, more importantly, seen Lucy's new video -- I hereby retract my doubt. The opening of the phone call sounds like Don and Harry continuing their drinking from the "Disney Dad" entry. Even more significant, Johnny specifically says that Harry was killed in his own apartment. That adds up to October 8 to me.

 		Does anyone else find the striking resemblance between Maurice and the Barbel dude particularly amusing?

 		An observation from the video...

In the beginning, it sounds like he says, "Hey Matt" as opposed to "Hey Man". I could be wrong, but it really sounds like Matt, and looks like Matt (even looks like "Matt" when I slow it to framebyframe).

What do we know about Johnny, anyway?

Interesting update about Victor witnessing and photographing Kink killing Robert. That would explain why Don wanted Kerry to kill him. But Kerry knew something was up with Victor. After going to the vault with Corazon he is sure that Victor wasn't a bad guy. Now he wants to meet with McPherson. McPherson takes some of the photos of the cemetery shooting to show Kerry. But that would mean showing Kerry Lucy and Kink.

Don v. Kerry. Who makes it out of that one alive?

I agree with the "Matt." That's what I heard too. Bt then why does it sound like he's talking about Mi Casa business?

If it IS Matt, I'm thinking Johnny may be Porky. Porky loves the Sopranos, remember? Well right when Johnny says he may have a lead in the video, there's what looks like "Growing Up Gotti" in the top right of the frame.

And yes, I already tried every variation of "johngotti." No dice.

Rose,

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The pictures McPherson is planning to show to Kerry are not the ones of Lucy and Kink at the cemetery. He replaced those pictures with a bunch of apparantly very pornographic, most likely violent (possibly pediphilia), photos. He replaced the pictures because the envelope has Victor's info on it, so McPherson can make Kerry think that Victor made the porn pix. So the question is, which set of pictures will Kerry believe, the porn, or the pics of Corazon?

 		JTony - Thanks! I thought it wouldn't make sense to show Kerry the actual crime photos from the cemetery.

Not only amusing, but perhaps a plot point. Separated at birth? The Nazi hunter and the Civil War anti-semite?

Plot developments certainly confirm Phaedra's spec on aspects of the perception of Judaism in society as integral to the plot.

The FAX also finally links the idea of an anti-semite (i.e. Nazi in this case) hunter to the civil war origin of the gun.

Yep. And plugging "Rothchild" and Civil War brings up a bunch of pages spewing the same anti-semite theories. Rothschild is interesting, too, because that connects the plot potentially to the "Illuminati," the group that potentially "runs the world in the background."

The web gets deeper...

 		Other Bar Ball
Interesting anagram for Lothar Barbel

Reb Ball Torah

Not that I think it is really an in-game sort of thing, but the fact we're anagraming names on headstones, plus the weirdness of Lothar Barbel's name got me to thinking.

I haven't anagrammed anyone else's names, though. I'm betting on interesting results, even if they aren't intended.

I don't think Matt knows about the gun or would hire someone to keep tabs on Lucy.

My guess is that "Johnny" is in Mi Casa and/or he is Cream. But I have doubts about the latter.
