sorry to report, my fellow south africans (I'm an ex one of you, sort of, and i'm getting married to one) but I checked the Cape Town, Durban and Joburg craigslists and nothing from BA.

Luke,
I've seen men hanging, cities burning,



Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I was wondering if the personal letters are in any way a refrence to various styles of tarrot card?
Theres about a million different styles of tarrot card out there, but this reminded me of one I used to have, and obviously it was for the Hanged man.
Just a thought!


It's a good idea, and we may certainly see other tarot references. Luke's letter could as easily be representative of The Moon or The Tower, though.

As an aside note, regarding the "Strength" Tarot card on the website's background - it's from the Rider-Waite (sp??) tarot set, and I *think* it's the only card in that set that depicts a cat of any sort. Very Happy I'm sure it doesn't mean anything, but I thought that was a nice touch...

Edit: A handy tarot website focusing on the Rider-Waite cards is located here: http://www.learntarot.org


Funny you mention the tower! Just found this, possibley cities burning?
Artist is Ernest Fitzpatrick

Also, it just occured to me to search for lovecraft tarot, they exist!

questions

Hello! I got a letter from BA and I called the phone # and left a message 2 days ago! No reply. I have searched and followed along with what everyone else is getting!! I cannot find a letter on craigslist for Dallas?Ft.Worth Texas area ? Any ideas? Can anyone kinda give me some ideaas as to where I should be looking, or what I might have messed? I played TheVanishingPoint game and loved it. Played and Won a $500 Gold Coin and went to Mark Burnett's Gold Rush Game in Minn/St.Paul and had a blast meeting all kinds of people into ARG !! I am involved in playing the Jamestown 400 Hunt since Dec. It has taught me a lot about clues, codes, anagrams and more! I am really looking forward to GR2 in Sept, and am awaiting to start the VOLVO PIRATE HUNT 2007. But back to the subject ... anything anyone can tell me about this NEW GAME with BA SAINT FELINE? I live in North of Nowhere Texas. madmad59

welcome, madman!

So far we've still got 2 Houston craigslists unaccounted for, and one more Austin...

Houston #1
Houston #2
Austin

any of these sound like they could be applicable to you?

This is great! although I'm not sure I can answer your questions because we are still trying to figure out what it all means. BA has apparently sent out a bunch of packages to various people, and so far most of them do seem to be associated with craigslist postings, so if Dallas is the closest one to you, then I'm not sure why there's nothing there. You can see all the others on the wiki.

We believe that there are still more packages to be found, so it would help a lot if you could describe or even scan the contents of what you got from BA, so that we can add the information to everything else. So far it's a big mystery!

Tarot Cards, interesting. An update on my part: my scanner is broken, and I can't find the cord to attatch my digital camera to the computer. So, until I can find some other means, I hope this is enough information.

-My personalized letter can be found on Page 18.
-My watercolour painting shows the edge of a building on fire in the bottom left corner. The rest of the painting is sky, with smoke rising from the fire.
-My I Ching states: "Fellowship with Men 145, 27, 15" and is on a page 5 of a book called "Dagon". The reverse side (page 6) reveals the author to be none other than H.P. Lovecraft
-Another clipping is from a book called, "Monsters of the Sea". On page 131, the heading is the Kraken, and the words, "tentacle" and "mythical devilfish" are circled.
-Another clipping is from a novel. "At the Mountains of Madness" and "The Dreams in the Witch-House" are on the tops of the two pages, meaning one of these is the name of the chapter, and the other of the book.
-Another clipping shows 80 frames from what looks like a movie about a blonde woman, some sort of scary ape-monster, and soldiers fighting on a building that catches fire. The reverse side shows 88 frames from an old black and white film that looks like "Birth of a Nation" (i knew that movie guessing thread would come in handy Smile)
-Another clipping is from something called "The Hedgehog Review / Fall 06", it also has the heading, "At the Gates of the Labyrinth / Komesaroff".
-Finally, there's a clipping of page 39/40 from some sort of consumer feedback... thing. There all sorts of letters starting with, "Dear 2600..." Yeah, it's weird. EDIT: Just noticed the name of the magazine in a corner: 2600 Magazine. Razz

As I said, I'm working on getting the scans still, but it might take awhile. Any questions, just ask. OH, and one more thing, I noticed there's a "51" in the top left corner of the envelope everything came in. No idea what that means.

Moutains of Madness clipping is the only one with page numbers. Pages 145/146.

so dreams in the witchhouse has no page numbers?

and can you tell for the 2 half-page sheets which are the top and bottom halves? They two halves don't have to match with each other, just are they the top or bottom of their page?

Sorry, to clarify, Dreams in the Witch-House is on page 145. One the reverse side is "At The Mountains of Madness" which is page 146.

I'm not sure what you mean by half-pages, but "The Hedgehog Review" is the top left corner of a page (top right of the page when it's reversed). Everything else looks like it's a complete page.

Well, based on the Hedgehog Review Fall 2006 Table of Contents here, the Labryinth/Komesaroff article starts on p. 36.

Another Cthulhu Live Community Package

It seems that another package was sent to the Cthulhu Live community at large. The folks from Chuckling Cthulhu in San Francisco have gotten one.

They made the connection after I posted the info to the Cthulhu Live comminity. So expect posting from them.

bseeingu.com is back up. As I've just dabbled my toes in the water so far, I'm not sure if there are any changes. Just thought you'd like to know.

ok so things we're waiting for:
- Luke's package scans
- Addlepated's 2 missing half-page scans
- one new package detail from the Cthulu Live community
- 15 craigslist city packages (minute the new one above)
- expecting 4 new I Ching references, and 11 duplicates (if there are 26 packages, and 13 spots, we have 2 duplicates already, leaving 11)

and I've fixed up the picture book page to be a little more readable for sequential pages
