crazy.....

i think youre crazy. were not salesmen. and write your posts so that people can understand what youre saying. punctuation helps. im sorry to rag on you, but i just cant understand what youre talking about. youre going off on things and its even harder when i cannot understand what you are typing. other people are having trouble too.

hey hey hey.

see, one person knows what to do. right now, all we really can do to follow the plot is to follow the information we have. the stuff on the message. its just like the last one. it gives us something to go on. but this time, its not as east as the last message.

slowly now
haha

ok. we could. impersonate someone.from one of the handbag or sunglasses.companys. and say people in.advertisement.want to know.what message.there sending.to people. the person. that we will . be asking. has to be.tolerant.because if they think this is a joke. game over. so this is what we ask
"Hello, I am from (company's name) and we would like to ask you about the awning, if you have one, could you please describe it to me. (and if they ask why), The people in advertising want to know what kind of message the company is sending to people(we will plan better if they ask any more questions). (Person at store describes it and then the person thanks him/her and said person hangs up).

THE END

letter

if you look back on the posts, you can see a bunch of quotes from the book the purloined letter, which is what we think mr. phone message man was referring to. one of the main themes from the book is that the answer is right under our nose. now, whether he means that the clue to the new site is right under our nose or that anything posted on the new site has to be LIKE the purloined letter is up to you to decide from his message. check out the message and the posts to get more.

and as for words.... ive been working with them all day. nothing yet. so im trying to get to evan, the man who is supposed to be getting all these wierd messages. he might have some information that will help us decipher this puzzle.

here.... try this.

now. ionic.. thanks for explaining. that makes a lot more sense. that is a plan that will help us find out just what is on the awning. but we already know what is on the awning, so its unnecessary.

shards: please explain. use names in your posts so that its clear EXACTLY WHO you are talking about. as i read it, you thought that jeff or alan or mr. phone message man was calling KMQ, which is a handbag and sunglasses store in miami. the store is not part of the story. the business isnt wrapped up in this. THE AWNING ONLY is what was pointed to. now... continue...

ok i agree again. we need to get organized first. we will make up a team and stay connected by email. anyone who wants to be in on this group, just post your email and i'll update this post to include you in the group. im also making secret code names (just for fun) here is the group so far:
me (sage): fedgeramaSPLATyahoo.com
thaliondu (hawkeye): thalionduSPLATgmail.com
eastendpirate (swabby): eastendpirateSPLATyahoo.com

Is it too late to join? I read all the messages and am still slightly confused coming in now (do to the fact that I cannot get most of the .mov's to work), but find it really interesting and would like to help.

Here is my e-mail: palm33418(splat)yahoo.com

its a bit endless
he key is the code weve been talking about

the key is the code weve been talking about. and sorry if i spell it wrong. ok this is it .the perlouide code if i remember reading the book thingy online correctly it says that, to have the code it depends on how much the winner knows and how much the loser knows. so somewhere along those lines i figure and im probably wrong but usally theres a common im not sure wat word to use. im looking for one that describes a common not goal but maybe theme. anyways... to have to somewhat same knowledge it means you and other people know what your im gonna go ahead and say it theme. You and must of the others will have the same theme.If you figure out the theme you figure out what to look for.. i think let me know what you guys think
