The Search for Piece #2
- putting all the clues in one thread.

We have a couple of different starts for finding Piece #2.

Putting them all in here for continuity.

From Chixor1's package we got http://theverdictpage.blogspot.com/
Source code puzzle:

Quote:

talk to Nedd about Happy. they went hiking together

konamouse to Nedd wrote:

Hey darling,
Can you remember going for a hike with Happy Rogers not to long ago?
We're looking for the "Twins" - some folks think these are people, but
I'm wondering if maybe you found a couple of hill tops maybe or rocks
that you two called "The Twins".

HEATHEEEEER! You ROCK! The TWINS ARE TWO GUYS! TWO FREAKEEEEE GUYS! THE J-MAN AND THE G-MAN! JACK AND GEORGE! They totally make me laugh but they are FREAKEEEEE. THAT IS ALL THAT I CAN WRITE. I MUST GO AND PASS OUT NOW. NIGHT, HEATHEEEEER!

Sylvia's package led to http://happytrailstoyouuntilwemeetagain.blogspot.com/
The message included the clue:

Quote:

to find the second Spoocheeeee piece you must find the twins of a the recently deceased Spoocheeeee elder, Eric Arthur Blair. The location of the twins is not known to anyone in Spoocheeeee. These two have their father's ashes as well as the second piece. They are both terribly fearful of Spoocheeeee. They are also known to be VERY ecentric. If you locate the twins, be cautious when dealing with them. My only advice to you is to look closely at Happy Rogers. We think the Sammeeeee Happy Rogers may have stumbled upon a way to contact them.

Also found in the source: 18831939 + 18891937

Dick White, White Rose 1, provided more information about finding piece #2 in his gabcast. The thread is found here.

you have already been to the place you will begin. Let the book guide you.

WAIT A MINUTE! YOUR NAME IS MAP? That is very cool. Do you ever look at your name and it loses all meaning. Like the word "map". It sounds weird right but its still cool. But like if I say it like ten times in a row - map map map map map map map map map map - what that ten? FREAK! Right? It's like say any word ten times and like by the tenth time it is over. NO MEANING AT ALL! I do like the desert. IT ROCKS! Do you know the TWINZ? NICE! They are a trippeeeee twosome! Right? They are all ALWAYS FREAKED about the Spoocheeeee world coming after them. They don't trust anyone. THOSE TWO WERE DEEP INTO SPOOCHEEEEE MADNESS! Their Dad was like the head of Propaganda for Spoocheeeee. They have some TRIPPEEEEE SPOOCHEEEEE films. Happeeeee got all flipped out from them. PSYCHE! I gotta go to bed. My eyes just closed while I was typing. I'm all not regular right now. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

I know them and so does Happy Rogers! HAPPEEEEE is my BUD! She's funny. She should be called FUNNEEEEE not Happy! Happy found a website that told us about the TWINZ! And Happeeee wrote to them and they would not write back. They are WAAAAAY NERVOUS! Spoocheeeee has them like permanently FREAKED! Right? So then I think they wrote to HAPPEEEEE and then we hiked to meet them and at first they would not talk to us. We had to all shout from outside the trailer until they trusted us. HAPPEEEEE and I went there a few times. I don't remember why we went there though. Happeeeee was all on a "mission" for Barneeeee.. I think. I MISS BARNEEEEE SO MUCH! Okay so now I'm all bummed out thinking about Barneeeee. I gotta go and put my head on my pillow. I promise we can talk about it tomorrow. YOU ROCK, AAAAAA-RIEL!

HOW TWISTED IS MY HEAD? Very. The two guys we met are THE TWINZ! These guys are all paranoid ALL THE TIME! 24-7! I can't remember what they used to do, but I do know they did something that's NOW INSIDE THEIR MINDS AND SCARING THEM ALL THE TIME! YIKES! They told Happ-EEEEE and I what they did was THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD! YIKES! I can see the twin that shakes putting his face up to mine right now! PSYCHE! NOW I'M FLIPPIN' OUT!

I asked Nedd if he and Happy went to the Valley of Fire to visit the twins (the Mouse's Tank is in the Valley of Fire, so it was worth a shot) and here's his response:

Quote:

KAT-YAAAAA! It was NOT Valley of Fire but that is an EXCELLENT guess. Valley of Fire MUST ROCK with a name like that! Whoa! Right? I'm ALL the KING OF THE VALLEY OF FIRE AND I WILL MELT YOU! Psyche! I'm totally not the king of anything. Happ-EEEEE and I were somewhere in the Mojave off the 40. We took like twenty roads and then we had to hike. IT WAS HOT! but not the good waaaay! Bummer. Right? HAPP-EEEEE brought like a ton of water and was all afraid we were gonna melt. My Vans did melt a little. Vans suck for hiking! BUT they are SWEET for skateboarding! Have a nice night, KAT-YAAAAA! Thanks for writing to me! Meow.

Nedd is giving us all headaches & clues

You make ME laugh, Nedd. When you wake up, can you look around to see if you took any pictures or video of your hike out into the desert to
visit the twins? If you find something like that, can you post it on
your YouTube account? Maybe they gave you some videos?
Hugs & kisses,
Heatheeeeer

The clues I think I see:
THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD
TIN HAT
TWINZ
JACK and GEORGE
And he transposed the numbers for the George Orwell book 1984.

Found what Nedd was so gently leading us to
http://dlrowehtnignihttsroweht.blogspot.com/

Along with so many others, my attempt to type key phrases backwards finally yielded http://dlrowehtnignihttsroweht.blogspot.com/ (the worst thing in the world backwards).

Note some things in the source:

Code:

kcaj

dlrowehtnignihttsrowehtxxxxxxx

Code:

egroeg evifderdnuhevif

And, of course, the blog's title, "eramthgin".

I sent an email to Nedd before Mapmaker found their blog above, asking about tin hats.

Quote:

ENAX-OOOOOR! Good morning! I can totally remember how Happ-EEEEE hooked up with the Twinz! My mind is like ticking right now! I HAVE NO IDEA WHY! PSYCHE! NICE RIGHT? She told me that some guy called the Melon Man gave her two notes! And I was all "Who's the Melon Man?" and she was all "He's a white rose. He said he escaped Spoocheeeee." and I was all "I don't know a white rose named the Melon Man! Psyche!" and she was all "That's what he told me" - So, I have NO IDEA who the Melon Man dude was or is or will be but he definitely is not helping Spoocheeeee and he TOTALLY HOOKED UP Happ-EEEEE with the TWINZ. Maybe he's a bud of the Twinz!? Nice! I think the Twinz need more buds! Where am I? Psyche! I'm all telling you the Melon Man story and then BAM! I'm NOT! Bummer. Sorry. Where was I?! Oh yeah! The MELON MAN! The Melon Man gave Happ-EEEEE a note about TIN HATS and a secret note taped to the inside of her bag all EYE SPY LIKE! THE NOTE had a really COOL MAP! Happ-EEEEE thought the MAP went to a place in the world... but it was more a MAP to a place on the internet! It was an ALL SO SECRET JACK AND GEORGE HIDEOUT! It took her forever to find it. I think my bud Barn-eeeee found it for her. He rocked. I totally miss him. Where was I? Oh yeah! TIN HATS! Jack and George TOTALLY wear the TIN HATS! Enjoy the day, ENAX-OOOOOR! TODAY ROCKS!

I told Nedd we found one website and asked if he'd ever seen a reference to 505.

In Orwell's 1984, room 101 was where the "worst thing in the world happens". It's a torture chamber in which a prisoner is subjected to his or her own worst nightmare.

With our clue of 505 and the way the twins "flip" everything.
