Hmm good point, I'll have to rummage through my scribblings


Edit: Yeah, my mistake, Embarassed it was an older idea that somehow got copied in there.

That you did, but you never explained how they reached that conclusion
Sure "The" will fit my sentence, but it reads as well without.


Someone just came up with it, so I forwarded it as a possibility. It makes sense, the style of it is very much like those in the other files.

 		Perhaps the post reveal the location of each of the fifteen hackers around the world? I.e.,

"Roll Call / First To The Spot" - One of the poles or Mt. Zion or some other giant mountain like Kilomanjaro
"when the wind is..." - This has an image of an (ostrige) egg. Africa?
Fire-eater - Hawaii?
a castle on fire? fireworks? - Europe?
"WHEN DO WE WEEP ANTIQUITY?" - England?
"I'm no poet, you're no hacker" (w/ chopsticks) - China?

 		"The"
If somebody is not happy with "the" for 10, then I offer "BCE" - that's how it's written in Russian, and it means "all, all over, everything, done". It's just a word you say when you're finished. (the last letter is supposed to have 2 dots over it, but they are often omitted in print).

Maybe the origin of each message corresponds with the Metacortex branches across the world? Gotta check the map on their site...

Bit of a sod to work into a sentence though

 		According to the times these were posted, this message was far from first in. Too bad not wasn't in the message.

We may need to devote more time to the jibberish that included "ANTIQUITY." That didn't sound like part of roll call.

 		I don't believe "the" is that far of a stretch. This is the way crosswords are written, people.

How do (can) stories end? "The End"

Just my thoughts.

 		What about "See" Idea

Its the End of "Ending" (twice) and "Story"

And it's a lot to do with the story Razz

Oh and it fits with the other words Very Happy

Even that's gotta be better than the reasoning behind "the" so far. Wink

 		poet/hacker
hey, been following this for a while now, just about keeping up, but something, i thought you all should know, you may have mentioned it earlier, if so sorry, but the little quotes that included the "i am not poet/you are no hacker" thing seem to be written on files, now if you don't follow, didn't cassius use a file reference in his Paintover.net clue, just something to think about

It looks like it in the stills, but as someone already said it's more likely fortune cookie paper

It doesn't look like files when it's moving
