"Rue" was also referred to in an email. I think our mysterious webmaster supplied "rue" as an answer to a question from jsquared. Then the list of synonyms for anguish appeared in the source code, including the word "rue".
This is puzzling. I don't yet see how it connects to either the Atlantean story line or the Hank/W.B. story, but YshkLanti has referenced it at least four times. The way it's used suggests it might be a key component, but I'm not sure to what (and yes, I tried it as a passphrase for de-stegging the various images we've seen).
Edit: In addition to being synonymous with "angish" and French for "street", rue is also apparently a flowering shrub.
Edit Again: That wikipedia article quotes from Ophelia's crazy flower distribution speech where she mentions "O you must wear your rue with a difference." Ophelia, of course, proceeded to drown herself, somewhat tenuously connecting her to our W.B.

Hey, did anyone get the maze + math puzzle solved yet?
I emailed him with answers yesterday afternoon, but still haven't got anything back yet.

The answer was:

and before that the picture was hacked to reveal the password (for desteggination) as esetula. That revealed a cryptic note . This was all on the last couple of pages (before the trolling).

I don't remember an email, only the script.

This snippet has been quoted at least twice already. These threads are getting really long and confusing as it is, please read thru them before posting so as not to clutter the threads with information that has already been posted.
Hyexistenz--I had read all the threads, and did a search for "larimar" before I posted my quotation about larimar, and didn't see the quote about the name of the stone referencing a daughter anywhere. I believe you if you say you'd read it twice before, but for the record I did make the effort. Thanks for making a newcomer feel so welcome to this forum. I'll guess I'll go back to lurking now.

On the password protected page top left it says: "Everywhere confused attempt to understand rue"
If you take it literally and do a google search on "language rue" you will find that rue is obviously a language code for Rusyn.
I think thats too easy but I will take a closer look anyways...

An excellent question, considering your IP address is not in the GoogleBot list. Who are you supposed to be? How exactly did you login to that account?
ETA: User-agent switcher in your browser maybe? Bot posting has been disabled so you'll have to do something before you can reply.

Umm I believe your following the wrong path there. Rue is another word for anguish in english. So search no further. Also can you give me a link to this password protected page you guys are talking about?

I'm not sure that the language can actually be translated in this way but I think this post would be better placed in the Lexicon thread now that we have a whole forum all to ourselves .

this is better suited for a pm, but oh well. I wasn't trying to jump on you, i was trying to help you out. I'm sorry you read a mean tone into my post, but if you look at the definition of trouting, you'll see that there isn't any negativity attached to it.
