Neither, this all happened while I was AFK, so the PM switched his name and gave another puzzle.

hmmm. i'm fairly certain it will be a chicago area code. i read the article that he/she/it linked to, which was about world famous "outsider artist" henry darger who spent most of his adult life writing a 15,145 page novel (with 300 accompanying paintings, some of wich were over 10 feet long) about a war between heaven and hell. it was called, "The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinnean War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion."

"the adventures of the Vivian Girls -- seven attractive, high-spirited and pure-hearted little nymphs who get involved in an epic war between the Angelinas -- the Roman Catholic army of good -- and the Glandelinians, the forces of evil. Often, the story involves the little girls not wearing clothes. Oh, and they have penises. Meanwhile, millions of other children are butchered and destroyed in battle, or killed in natural disasters, as good and evil battle it out on a cosmic scale over decades."

sounds amazing. i would love to attempt to read it Smile anyways, yeah, this darger character was a chicago native.

it seems as though there are 3hree different chicago area codes...

312
708
773

i would try to call...but i am unsure as to what i am supposed to be asking. lol. i don't really feel comfortable asking random people, "hi...is, uh...the omen there?" lol...i might try anyways. could get some interesting responses Smile



btw...this article promotes a documentary of dargers life, that was shown between the dates of feb 11th and 17th, 2005. hmmm...i wonder if this anniversary has any relevance.

ediiiiiit

i just tried all 3hree area codes...no go. the first 2wo are constantly busy and the 3rd is what sounds like an aswering machine, but the message says, "sorry, the toll free number you dialed has been disconnected." and then you get a busy signal. i guess i'll keep trying to get through to the first 2wo...but if they don't work out, i'm lost.

Thanks a billion for doing that!

Just a note, I have this big 'ol poster in my basement, and I'm 99% sure that it's by this guy you're talking about. It's in french though (the caption is, but I think my parents might have got it in Montreal) I'll try and dig it out tonight

I speak enough French to get by too, and boy is this a confusing sentence. I think your translation is correct, as I make it..

"One or hundred they've come for to cause the pain" (Possibly referring to pain caused by drugs, or general injury.. I'm not sure)

'causer' seems to stick out in that it's not captialized... so without it it could read (pardon my bad french verbs)

"One or hundred, they've come for the pain"

---------------

Does this mean anything? "...live in the rainbow...//fdhdfggsafdaafrwd"??

hmmm...i think "fdhdfggsafdaafrwd" is just a bunch of jibberish. there are only 7even letters and they all fall around the same place on the keyboard. l don't know though. i'm new to this whole cypher thing. i pretty much only know about rot- how to recognize and decode it. soooo, yeah...

Ok, I might have a lead as well as another (rather uniformative) conversation...

Quote:
Lovedrug says:
hello my friend
Mr. Ordinary Immortal says:
hello
Lovedrug says:
how are things?
Mr. Ordinary Immortal says:
good
Mr. Ordinary Immortal says:
you?
Mr. Ordinary Immortal says:
well, good so far
Lovedrug says:
I guess it is the same for me
Mr. Ordinary Immortal says:
ok
Lovedrug says:
I have a picture quite near to the artist you spoke of
Lovedrug says:
I don't beleive it's the same person
Lovedrug says:
but it gives the same feel
Mr. Ordinary Immortal says:
ok good
Mr. Ordinary Immortal says:
the more the better
Lovedrug says:
it seems as though me and my friends have yet to discover the hidden message
Mr. Ordinary Immortal says:
ok
Lovedrug says:
is there any tips you can give? Maybe point us into the right direction?
Mr. Ordinary Immortal says:
all i can say is that it is staring you in the face
Lovedrug says:
alright, let me have another look..
Mr. Ordinary Immortal says:
sure thing
Mr. Ordinary Immortal says:
i have to go
Mr. Ordinary Immortal says:
bye
Lovedrug says:
goodbye
Lovedrug says:
and good luck



So I took it litteraly that it was staring me in the face, and I googled "Ordinary Immortal" this was the first hit, a wiki for the Jade Emperor, the site is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade_Emperor

This sounds like the most revelant quotation.


Quote:
The Jade Emperor was still an ordinary immortal who roamed earth to help as many people as he could. However, he felt sad because his powers were limited and could only ease the sufferings of men. He decided to retreat in a mountain cave and cultivate his Dao. He passed 3,200 trials, each trial lasted for about 3 million years. Unfortunately, a powerful, evil entity which dwelt on earth had the ambition to conquer the immortals and gods in heaven and proclaim sovereignty over the entire universe. He went into retreat later than the Jade Emperor. This evil entity retreated himself too and went into meditation to expand his power. He passed through 3,000 trials each trial lasting for about 3 million years too. After he passed his final trial, he felt confident that no one could defeat him anymore. He re-entered the world again, and recruited an army of demons with the purpose of attacking heaven. The immortals being aware of the threat gathered themselves and prepared for war. The gods were unable to stop the powerful demon and all were defeated by him. The Three Pure Ones were leading the celestial beings at that time. Fortunately, the Jade Emperor finished his cultivation in the midst of this war. He was changing the land to make it more liveable for men and repelling all kinds of monstrous beasts. Suddenly, he saw an evil glow emitting from heaven and knew something was amiss. He ascended and saw that a war was going on, he saw that the demon was too powerful to be stopped by any of the gods present. He went up and challenged the demon, and a battle ensued between them. Mountains shook and rivers and seas toppled; however, the Jade Emperor stood victorious due to his deeper and wiser cultivation, not for might but for benevolence. After totally annihilating the demon, all the other demons were scattered by the gods and immortals. Because of his noble and benevolent deeds, the gods, immortals and mankind proclaimed the Jade Emperor the supreme sovereign of all.


Dammit...

Not much to add. He came online and said that it's all a waiting game...

Then he gave me the lyrics to 'This Is Hell' by Elvis Costello.

Then he signed out with the lyrics to '(Nice to Meet You) Anyway' by Gavin DeGraw which features the line "I hope you understand what I mean."

He seemed to be threatening me, but I couldn't translate fast enough

anything I said (that wasn't french) was translated used babel

I'm going to start translating, if somebody wants to help, they can start at the bottom or double check what I post. Thanks
