how nice of mr. johnson

hi all, not sure if i've said hi yet, but have been vaguely lurking the story. but this story is complex and moves so fast! and I was not involved with part 1 so i'm having trouble keeping up - but just had to share:

i believe mr. johnson sent me a happy birthday message on my myspace. in latin obviously:

Quote:

I was speculating in the chatroom tonight and was encouraged to enter some of our thoughts here. I'm backing up a few steps, but there's not really another logical place to put all of this for now...

Regarding the Khamsa hand on Mr. AJ's blog:
The first time we saw it, it was not crossed out. I stated in chat that this led me to believe that he was deflecting the power of the hand back to the Sammeeeees so that it bounced off of him, like a mirror.
It then changed to show a red 'x' through the center, which I further speculated removed the power from the hand, which would explain why the hand is no longer working to protect the Sammeeeees any longer.

Mr. AJ also changed the name of the picture to "blood feud", which leads me to believe he considers himself 'at war' with those he once considered family, namely Peeps, Patricia, the White Roses, and the Jackals.

Finally, we speculated that the date we were supposed to be watching for on the Blue Door blog was tomorrow, Tuesday. Tuesday is ruled by Mars, the God of War, and Mithras' third level of initiate is the Soldier. We already have confirmed contact by "The Veiled Bride" (Nymphus--2nd level initiate) both in Peep's blog and in the comments section of the Indirect Contact blog, and a reference by the DoEP to a "Plucked Raven"(although not a 'good guy' in this particular reference, the Raven is a 1st level initiate), and information from Nymphus that "Pater" (7th level of initiate) will tell us more tomorrow (Tuesday).

We speculated that the Sammeeeees and/or White Roses were assuming the roles of the various initiate levels of Mithraism, but why still remains a mystery, as does which member was assuming which role. We're thinking we'll find that someone has assumed the role of Soldier tomorrow.

More info regarding the 7 levels and information sent to Happy regarding further protection in the BEG MITHRAS thread.

Just for the record. Laughing

YAY LACEY!!!!

This morning I woke up wondering why the only MySpace changes were for Higgs and for Peeps. Higgs labeled his "AT YOUR WINDOW" and Peeps' could be looing through a windows.

We spec'd that Higgs might be the BRIDE, but Peeps' blog comment said "I TOOK HER HAND". Trinket is the one who is confirmed out of town during the time frame.

So who is the true BRIDE in the Mithras mythos?

Either we'll find out in AT THE ALTER today or THE BLUE DOOR tomorrow.

Edit to add: I wrote a little too soon. Trinket's MySpace has changed background and she has a new avatar. Very veiled bride-like.

Hey Kona.

I've been lurking a bit too. Hopefully this time around I'll have time to actually play. Razz

I picked up a book on Mithraism last year sometime, when another ARG was referencing the religion. Something I'd like to note, which I believe has been mentioned, that in the religion, there are ranks, one of which is a bridegroom.

Wikipedia wrote:
* Corax (raven)
* Nymphus (bridegroom)
* Miles (soldier)
* Leo (lion)
* Perses (Persian)
* Heliodromus (sun-courier)
* Pater (father)


The book I have tells of the different ceremonies of each. How to join, the significance of each rank and so on, though I think it may have a few different names for a couple of the ranks.

I'll post some more later when I get back from classes, if anyone wants.

The title of the book is "The Mysteries of Mithras" by Payam Nabarz.

I'll post in the Beg Mithras thread a few things of what it says.

code

I just wanted to ask about the code I've seen in a couple of different places in the past few days, with numbers 1-9 followed by exclamation point or parentheses. Could someone explain that to me? I've never seen it before, and I'm having some trouble figuring out the significance of the punctuation marks. Thanks.

I believe you're talking about the code used here. Although I haven't worked them out myself, I understand it's a keypad cipher. It's decoded using the letters that correspond to those numbers from a phone keypad. Here's a website that has a tool to help, http://www.phonespell.org/

8) 4! 7! 3! 3! 3) 2) 9( 7( 2) 3( 8) 3! 7! 8) 6( 6) 6( 7! 7! 6( 9)

Hey Sammeeeees!!! Mom and I are in Maine. I haven't been to see Peeps yet. Mom said I have to stay away from him for now. Mr. Gerold will go and check on him tonight. You should see my room! It is wicked great! I can see the ocean and I can hear a fog horn! I love it! What's going on with Trinket's MySpace? That avatar makes me laugh. Is she like a ghost? Anything new with Ben? Is he going to be okay? I better write to Happy and say hi.

Current Mood: happy


Should we post a comment warning Oppmer to be careful in Maine??
