 		Releaved... Like leaves falling from a tree, perhaps? *Totally grasping.*

Um, there's the possibility that its just trying to show that she's a 14-year-old girl who can't spell (although I resent the insinuation that young adolescents lack the ability to spell); but I think that it may be important. In the meantime, though, there's not much else we can do.

 		as long as we're documenting spelling errors, what about on the contact information page?

Quote:
Forfitting information may lead to less contact by E-mail or phone from the 13 Skulls.

Forfitting? "less" contact?
a quick search of the source reveals - this phrase "Revert to "Forfitting""

Quote:
With holding certain information is allowed.

This one could be just a typo, but I'm not sure about the one above . . .

 		There's another update on Missy's blog with a little progress. We've now been told there will be 4 Chosen Ones, or keys, Missy is just the first.

Other than that it seems to be prompting us for questions to ask the skulls, I guess it makes sense to pool our thoughts here and present all the questions as one, rather than we all fire off anything we can think of?

My questions would be:
Which skull is next?
How do we find it?
Who are the other Chosen Ones?
When will we face our next test/ challenge?
How can we help?
What do we need to do to stop the coming catastrophy?
When is the catastrophy due to happen?

BTW I'm really enjoying this one, it's playing well, has a great storyline, there's fluid updates (i.e. feels "real"), and so far the tests have been fairly innovative. Of course that's probably the kiss of death and it'll implode tomorrow, in which case sorry guys! Laughing

The Gathering has begun. The chosen few have now set in motion what has been foretold. You have proven yourself worthy to move on. The next skull, and the next chosen are on waiting. When the time is right you will know what to do. We now have some faith in humanity, now that you have proven yourselves to one of us.


they're waiting for us now. eep!

Really? As in because they will tell us? Or have we missed a whopping clue?

EDIT: For those who like to list the games they are playing (like me) I've decided on "Skullhunter" to note our wee team - feel free to steal/ suggest alternatives/ laugh at me...

Got your answer Redhatty!

Oh wow, it worked. Redhatty I ask your question. They replied back. Its kinda cool, like having a cell phone but without the phone.

Anyways they said this "The prophesy says you will have found the next key, and the next skull by 1168283593"

So once again , Guess what you guys are on your own because this "1168283593" I don't have a clue as to what this means."

But I am off, I have to go to school. I will try to check in while I am in Lab.

 		Glad you knew that Mongo, I'd have been away investigating Mayan calendars or such!

Still doesn't tell us any clues on where we should be looking...

EDIT: Maybe it will be an email like the last time?

 		well, I emailed Rose Skull to ask what the next color skull would be and she replied with a totally blank email. No invisible binary, nuffin. So either it was a mistake or a kiss off. Confused

So i just shot back with

I'm sorry. My primitive human brain doesn't understand. You've given us colors, that is how we have understood the skulls thus far. Each of the skulls presented to us thus far have been labeled with a color. It was my understanding that the next skull would also have a color. The name of this color would help us find that skull. If this is not the case, i apologize and again reference my primitive reasoning skills. I only ask for you to help we simian creatures entangled in your fate.

I had to run into the lab before anyone else got in here. Next period starts in a few, and I didn't want to be in here talking to myself . That would be bad at a new school. "Look, its the new girl who talks to herself." Yeah right not going there.

Anyways, ask them if you are on the right track...............

Yes, and numbers are letters is all I heard.

Oh crap, gotta go


Numbers are letters? wot?!?

Working the basic substitution gives

Which ROTs into gibberish. the only sensible anagram I get is

Chibah Cafe


Which has produced no results.

Anyone is welcome to jump in & give this one a try
