Right, 21 comments later, let's see what happens now. Confused



[edit] The next number is 2.

New entry up on Incomplete Incarnate
Number 8 this time.

So the number of comments is without a doubt the motivation for new blog entries.

And if it is a substitution code, it's either an anagram, or more complicated than A=1.
Lets keep the comment bombard going

EDIT- That's 8 Comments, just waiting for the new number now

Ok, according to menelaus that should be all the numbers, giving 5, 13, 21, 2, 8, 1 and 3 (and possibly another 1 from zero's e-mail to esteed). A simple letter substitution turns that into EMUBHAC, but I'm pretty sure that's not a word. Anyone got any ideas?

New post in from Menelaus. Looks like we've got all we need. I think, in order to make it seem like you guys got the "1" without me voluntarily giving it to you, we should stage a little conflict on Zero's blog. I can make a comment pretending to be pissed off at whatever "joker" hacked my computer and left a taunting message up for me in Microsoft Word. Whether someone claims responsibility or not, the seed will be planted, and then if Zero ever asks what happened, I can say something to the effect of, "That hacker...it must have been one of your brother's agents!"

EDIT: Another new post from Menelaus. He says he thinks the man's name starts with an F, whoever this man is.

Now I feel a bit stupid for not seeing that earlier, nevermind, hope Zero likes my post :p, and Menelaus can use the distraction to escape.

I think one of you needs to give the password to Menelaus so he can escape. I imagine Zero's probably got a keypad lock on Menelaus' door, and since Menelaus said he usually uses the same password for everything...

I e-mailed Menelaus the password right after I made my post, I haven't heard anything yet.

Good work everyone, particularly grumpyboy who spotted the Fibonacci link. Menelaus has now called a conference with the Completed on Monday.

If the conference can't be posted in his blog due to wanting to keep the plans hidden, do you think it would be okay with Menelaus if someone emailed it to me? Especially if I'm going to continue to be an inside man in Zero's operations, I should probably have a good grasp of what's going on in Menelaus's camp.

I'm pretty sure I'll be around for the chat, but not 100%.
I'll e-mail you a copy of the chat if you want Esteed. Plus, I'll probably put up an annotated version on the forums.

New post on Menelaus's blog. Looks like only Prometheus could turn up, out of the completed however.

Menelaus is looking for one of the completed to be a leader. This person will have to answer "The last Torment"

Quote:
I belong in Wiltshire, although bought from Ireland. A weapon to kill a friar.


Long version:

Quote:
Prometheus says:
Menelaus, How are you after your ordeal?
Menelaus says:
I am well. Thank you.
Prometheus says:
that is good to hear
Menelaus says:
I think you may be the only one here. This troubles me. I have an important decision to make that requires the presence of all of you.
Prometheus says:
Tell me of the decision, hopefully the others are just running late
Menelaus says:
I mean to choose your leader. We will need a powerful general in the war to come.
Prometheus says:
That is a difficult decision indeed
Menelaus says:
Yes. Yes it is.
Prometheus says:
You say there is a war coming?
Menelaus says:
I can not tell you much, for my suspicions have not yet been confirmed. But it will make the gods themselves tremble with fear.
Prometheus says:
then we all have reason to be concerned
Menelaus says:
Yes, and not just the Completed. Not just our army. All who live on this planet, nay, the universe, depend on us.
Prometheus says:
what would be expected of your general?
Menelaus says:
Strong will power and the ability to answer the last Torment. I originally meant to keep the last Torment from you. The slightest glance can drive a man to madness.
Prometheus says:
which is why you wished for us all to be present
Prometheus says:
?
Menelaus says:
Aye.
Prometheus says:
What do you wish to do? If you would have me attempt the last torment I will endeavor to solve it, but I would be just as happy to wait until the other Completed can be present
Menelaus says:
I think it may be best to reveal the Torment now.
Prometheus says:
as you wish
Menelaus says:
I belong in Wiltshire, although bought from Ireland. A weapon to kill a friar.
Prometheus says:
I can only imagine you are referring to Stonehenge
Menelaus says:
More than Stonehenge. It is all of us. It is human nature itself. Shall I wait more, or shall I close this conference?
Prometheus says:
Let me ponder a minute longer
Menelaus says:
Very well. Good luck.
Prometheus says:
Alas, while I know of the tale of the devil bringing stones to wiltshire from Ireland, I am not sure that I can answer the Torment
Prometheus says:
unless you refer to the Devil himself
Menelaus says:
No, I do not.
Prometheus says:
Then I shall pass word to the rest of the Completed, How shall we contact you? on your log or by e-mail?
Menelaus says:
Either is fine.
Prometheus says:
Then I will pass the Torment on to them, hopefully a Leader can then be found.
Menelaus says:
I will pass on word to the rest of the army. They can help the Completed with the Torment, but unfortunately, only a Completed can become our leader.
Prometheus says:
Was there any other business you wished to discuss?
Menelaus says:
Not until next time. I am still gathering information.
Prometheus says:
Then shall we part ways now?
Menelaus says:
Yes, I guess we shall. Farewell.
Prometheus says:
Farewell


The myth Prometheus refers to - about the devil bringing the stones across to Wiltshire from Ireland, is this:

Quote:
The Devil bought the stones from a woman in Ireland, wrapped them up, and brought them to Salisbury plain. One of the stones fell into the Avon, the rest were carried to the plain. The Devil then cried out, "No-one will ever find out how these stones came here." A friar replied, "That's what you think!," whereupon the Devil threw one of the stones at him and struck him on the heel. The stone stuck in the ground and is still there.

{about the 'Friar's Heel' stone}

Good call with the Heelstone, cows, although I'm not sure how this fits with Menelaus' quote:

Quote:
More than Stonehenge. It is all of us. It is human nature itself.
