 		User name/password
We have solved it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Call the phone number: 206 (from the building #) 279-2964 (highlight just before the word falling from the next page) and the message tells you about 'ghost' and 'machine' being important words


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It gives you the page with the watch, an option to email 2C asking for your watch back. Also click on the 11 on the watch....

 		Nice post. I was wondering how in the world we'd manage to fit all the updates into a concise package, but you've done it wonderfully.

A few things, though. Of the three songs mentioned, I have been able to find two. "Fixing a Hole" can be found on the Falling page, and "White Rabbit" is embedded into the page titled White Rabbit, with the images of the Turk Machine. Has anyone located the third song, "Sea of Holes"?

As to the numbers found at the bottoms of some pages, I believe that each page has such a number. I don't have the time right now to check, but highlighting each page should reveal the numbers. Also about these numbers, I'm nearly positive they were on all the pages in the former SL site. So I'm uncertain if this is a task, or simply a way for them to organize.

The video of jumbled images was made by 30hz Lullaby, whom I believe is one of the passengers. I think there's even a post in one of the threads, but I don't know which one.

 		im not really sure what it means, but the code on the falling page has changed for me. a few post up, it was said to be the last 7 digits of 2c's phone # and a three digit code (175), well i just checked it again, and its changed. Its 231 for me...mabye its a counter?

 		SilverLadder, Trivia
Music located but unexplained
Probably nothing, but the song Sea of Holes seems to be what you hear as you are falling.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
when you are looking at the picture of the statue with the rot text at the bottom, after clicking on the 11, you see a page full of repeated rot text. It you highlight the whole page, there is a bible verse at the end. Matthew 20:16 "So the last will be first, and the first will be last" i thought that was interesting.


oh yeah, the L could be a Roman numeral...

 		repost from the string on '2C'
So, yea. I had originally posted this under the 2C section, but it seemed appropriate to repost this here:

the kaiser page is titled 'ides of march' which is the 15th of march...
(why?)

and when you click on the '11' with the L in it you get a repeat of the same msg that's on the previous page and already been deciphered plus:
Quote:
Matt 20:16

I am the Two of Clubs.



Matt 20:16 is (depending on version):
Quote:
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
"So the last shall be first, and the first last."

King James Bible
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.


My musings on 'L'
L is the Roman Numeral for 50...50 +1+1=52?[/quote]

 		Down the Rabbit Hole
Since we fell down the rabbit hole yesterday (literally), it seems fitting to post an online version of Lewis Carroll's chapter from Alice in Wonderland entitled "Down the Rabbit-Hole" for anyone to read.

synchronicity is also a principle that has been dealt with here before -- namely, that there are these crazy events that are completely out of the blue. see black swan event.

of course i would not go so far as ti discount your music connection, there are plenty of those, too...

It didn't even occur to me that synchronicity would be a principle I automatically jumped to the conclusion of a music reference because of the three other references of music such as "sea of holes", and "Fixing holes" and "White rabbit" references....

 		hidden numbers in the random video
i looked at the video under the eye on the main page, and with the help of a couple of friends slowed it down a bit. there are numbers that flash in what seems like a random sequence...3-0-1-6-8-5-4-8-7-4...looks like a phone # to me. But the number is out of service, we tried it backwards too, going of of the bible quote in the ceasar cypher...but no luck their either.

has anybody else tried to slow down/ reverse the video to see if it has any clues?
