[NEW SITE] Silburn-Griggs Mines

[poozle]

This looks exactly like the sort of websites we get about mines and stuff anyway so it fits right in

[ThusQED]

Attached is this word document that tries to log all of the grammar and spelling errors on the site (and there are a lot).

I highlighted the spelling errors in yellow in case the missing letters are supposed to signify something.

There are some grammar things that could be spelling errors. I'm not quite sure.

If there is anything I missed, please edit and upload a better copy eh?

[Edit] I changed two things I missed.

One was found by batgirl is the double perhaps in the 2nd paragraph of Mining Life.
I also found on the Collection page that "peaces" was mispelled. The updated version is now attached to this post.

Initial thoughts as to key on map:

S - Shaft (S1, S2 & S3)
E - Entrance (E1)
L - Levels (L0, L1, L2, L3 & L4)
There's indication of the South (S) & North (N) side to the mine
CH - current spec that it could be Methane (CH4) often present in mining, explosive and a tad dangerous
A - Spec to be Airshaft
D/S - Spec is rife! a few possibles Drill Strage, Drive Shaft (!) - D/S is mentioned in mining docs Googled but no indication as to what it abbreviates.
Also unsure of the shaft that points to what looks to be 17 at the bottom left - poss link to further Silburn-Griggs Sites.
Small squares in the shafts still to be determined.

The Unfiction crew were hard to find
in the mines
in the mines
They all used Picks that made them blind
in the mines
o in the mines....

The Traditions page...

That is a horrible site. But the mention of chemical leeks made me giggle.

Based on that poem, I'm quite worried about what colour clothes kurt is wearing....! maybe violet should be taking him a change of clothes as well as the ferrogramatograph....?!

Hey ThusQED - I've spotted a couple that you missed on your file:

The repetition of the word perhaps at the end of the 2nd to last paragraph on Mining Life

I'd guess at the errors being baecause the standard of support being the site is quite poor (TINAG) or simply that it was done to look that way (TIAG). But then I'm nearly always wrong...

I suspect the key bit is the map, and the hints at codebreaking and voice syth coming up.

Seems to me that we shouldn't take this business of "wearing" colors too literally. It's probably just the way that the miners remembered a color sequence of some importance -- color-coded buttons or signposts or something. Talking about what colors people wore is just an easy way to work those colors into the song without coming right out and saying what they're for.
