[SOLVED] walkerofthewoods email to Peter June 25th

http://mysterytown.com/unsolvedmysteries.php
An email chain originating with Zenodotus (The first Librarian), forwarded to Dmitri Mendeleev (Father of the Periodic Table) to John Dalton (Chemist and Physicist) and finally to C L Sholes (Inventor of the typewriter)

A belief is not merely an idea the mind possesses Peter; it is an idea that possesses the mind. The irrationality of something is no argument against its existence, but rather a condition of it.

Onward and upward indeed. Use a typewriter keyboard, and look at the key above each letter:

1 DOT 008 REST 28 DOT 086 REST 39 DOT 098 REST 50 DOT 942 REST 10 DOT 81 REST 39 DOT 948 REST 39 DOT 098

1.008
28.086
39.098
50.942
10.81
39.948
39.098

Hmm. There's no letter in Greek that looks like an F. A straight transliteration would be ARE?ITHINTHE?ALLS, which to me looks like ARE WITHIN THE WALLS.

So, ANSWERS ARE WITHIN THE WALLS. Thanks a heap.

Really. Talk about an appropriate Sig.

Thanks! Now, anyone have any idea what it means? I just sent my interpretation to Peter, so he'd be in the loop.

[SPEC]I wonder whether it might refer to the walls of the Aglaura Library, which we just saved from destruction?[/SPEC]

I think the walls are referring to the inner most (oldest) section of the Library.

Answers are within the walls?

Reminds me of the paintings on Phyllis' walls...

Perhaps someone who's had alot of correspondance with Sarah can ask?

I can think if atleast two walls that they could be referring to - or to both.

Here's an entry from Sarah's Blog from May 16, 2006:

Quote:
Lately I hear things. Not pleasant things. I'm not sure if they're unpleasant noises either, other than the fact that they're so faint as to practically drive me mad.

This morning I turned on the exhaust fan in the bathroom and took a shower. After I turned the water off, the whole room was full of the noise of the fan. And underneath it, I swear I heard… shouting? The voices of children? Whatever it was, I couldn't make out what they were saying. It wasn't anything so petty and cliche as my name though. In fact, I don't know if they even knew my name.

What am I saying? I can see inside the mind of an imaginary voice?

As I flicked off the switch I distinctly heard a man say "Help!"

I am sure that was my imagination. And even if it wasn't, it was.


Then there are the walls in the basement of the library where Sarah and one of the stones were entrapped.

Another interpretation of walls can be the walls that seperate our reality from the others. In CTW1 Sarah was a conduit for those who wanted to communicate with the other side. She was also involved in trying to awaken people to their true selves - which is why she made the items for Meaghan.

Just a thought - but I think we need to concentrate more on THIS timeline.

Sarah appears to be hearing voices. In her own home or does she take showers in the Library building?
Did the Marzent Company want to tear down the Library for mystic reasons? We have had no indications of that in THIS timeline. Now that his Phase 2 plan has been thwarted, what he does can indicate if he is really interested in construction or destruction, if he is just in this for business or for power.

[META]
We have been making a lot of assumptions based on CTW1 that may or may not be relavent - nothing about Don Marzano and mystic power has been in the CTW comic book (yet). We may want to keep to the comic book progression to guide our specs and direction. Basing assumptions from CTW1 may lead us on red herring fishing expeditions (it may also help, but I feel that a "new to CTW" should be able to participate in this ARG without knowing the past - our PM is good at that). If it is something from CTW1 that we need to know, I think it will show up in the comic book.[/META]

Agreed.

We should get someone to ask Sarah about the history of the Library and maybe the Ashram. I've got a feeling that the "Answers within the walls" thing points to one of the two. Or maybe there's a building in Aglaura known for something to do with its' walls?

I've emailed Sarah asking about the history of the library, but I probably wasn't clear enough, so if anyone else wants to, feel free.

Meta Comment: I don't see how we can ignore what went on before. I have wrestled with posting things that I know happened before and how that might affect what is going on now. I make sure that what I post from CTW1 has some relevance to CTW2.

Is it just dumb luck that the building where Don entombed Sarah in CTW1 is also the place that he sought to destroy and she fought to keep?

Not sure this has any relevance since puzzle seems solved but is kind of interesting...

CL Sholes….
A great many men contributed to make the typewriter…. It was not until C. L. Sholes, then of Wisconsin took up the problem, in 1866, that the present form of a number of type-bars, arranged so that their ends strike upon a common centre, was devised.

John Dalton….
He proceeds to give what has been quoted as his first table of atomic weights, … …he thus arrived at the idea that chemical combination takes place between particles of different weights, and this it was which differentiated his theory from the historic speculations of the Greeks.

Dmitri Mendeleev….
Mendeleev is best known for his work on the periodic table; arranging the 63 known elements into a Periodic Table based on atomic mass, which he published in Principles of Chemistry in 1869.

Zenodotus (Ζηνόδοτος), Greek grammarian, literary critic, and scholar on Homer; first librarian of the Library of Alexandria; pupil of Philetas of Cos; a native of Ephesus.

my spec: it's the walls of the shack in the woods seen in the videos and pics (sent to Peter by our Woods Walker)

edits: Spec 2. The 3-0-7 sign appears where? On the walls! Perhaps its not just any wall, its all the walls in the town!
