I might as well post the exact emails I received, because it pertains to the ether/aether discussion going on over at SA. I don't know whether this is confirming or denying but I think he would have mentioned it if I were completely off the mark.

Zephonith to Robert
What do you mean by "the two foreign elements"? Would 'ether' and 'fire' be close guesses, or am I taking this far too literally?

So far the elements that seem relevant are:

Time
Memory
Fire
Music (Did Robert himself ever confirm this besides linking wiki?)
Aether
Religion
Astrology

I probably left something out - feel free to add anything.

Anyway he keeps saying "Time is constant." So maybe Time is one of them? What is unrelated to time?

I need coffee it's too early to be thinking this abstractly haha.

EDIT: Didn't see mcgritts post...good thinking!

goin further with that theory, aries is the 1st sun sign(fire), cancer the 4th(water), the first disciple was peter and the 4 th was john or andrew depending on where you read it.

The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn which are the signs of dynamic change, movement and great vitality.

Reading over the last Robert e-mail (SHE STILL HAS TIME, etc.)

When he mentions "arriving at it", "reaching our destination", I'm more inclined to think of these terms of travel in a distance of time, rather than space.

So I guess, in a very odd way, Robert is encouraging us to keep going? Letting us know we are arriving at our "destination" and "we will know why?"

(Can't reach SA forums from work, but you guys are doing a great job, as well. Keep this thread updated!)

Well, our guy certainly isn't a Einsteinian physics proponent.

Along (kind of) those lines, anyone else notice that he's not said "the time", but simply "time"? Perhaps we're taking Time too literally, just as Memory wasn't truly literal. I can't think of where else that goes, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Probably has something to do with what Cruo (I think?) said about time either being a concept or an object.

From wikipedia:
Quote:
In the Old Testament book Ecclesiastes, traditionally but not critically ascribed to Solomon (970–928 BC), time (as the Hebrew word עדן, זמן `iddan(time) zĕman(season) is often translated) was traditionally regarded as a medium for the passage of predestined events.


Hmm...

Quote:
In general, the Judaeo-Christian concept, based on the Bible, is that time is linear, with a beginning, the act of creation by God. The Christian view assumes also an end, the eschaton, expected to happen when Christ returns to earth in the Second Coming to judge the living and the dead. This will be the consummation of the world and time. St Augustine's City of God was the first developed application of this concept to world history. The Christian view is that God is uncreated and eternal so that He and the supernatural world are outside time and exist in eternity.


Dunno if it means anything, but it's interesting.

EDIT: And from the wiki page on "Constant Time"

Quote:
In computational complexity theory, constant time, or O(1) time, refers to the computation time of a problem when the time needed to solve that problem does not depend on the size of the data it is given as input.


Means we only have a set amount of time to figure out the problem, no matter how much information we're given? Obviously ._.

On the 4th Venue (http://community.livejournal.com/sf_drama/1119364) they posted what seemed to be Roberts LJ and that another series was revealed. When I e-mailed him to ask if it was legit he sent back:

"J50:36"

Jeremiah 50:36 says (from BibleGateway.com):

Quote:
"A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed."

Looks like the series may not be real!

http://biblebrowser.com/jeremiah/50-36.htm

...just a case of writing while oreo was editing...nothing more

EDIT: Just to weave a tight knot group of loving people...from SA forums

Ferrous Wheel asked Robert about a punishment for the supposed liars.
His response. R20:10

Revelation 20:10
"And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

I posted about Robert's e-mail on the LJ community - user mylaptopisevil seems to have a different take on it:

Quote:
The LJ sounds trustworthy. The quote seems like it can possibly mean "these idiots don't even know who I am so they're puttering around. Don't they know I'm going to decimate everyone?"

Which sounds like good old Rob to me. With all his imagery, I can see him regard himself as a sword among fools. Look at all his notes and the way he talks about his classmates.


http://community.livejournal.com/sf_drama/1119364.html?thread=107052164#t107052164

Sounds a little weird to me but I'm not going to discount anything for sure at this point. Thoughts/opinions?

I wish Robert would go back to swearing at me in caps...at least that was pretty straightforward. Smile

I have seen two different replies from the livejournal account,

"Yes." and "He can't."

If those are the exact replies they don't match any of the other things he has sent, using all caps and repeating various phrases.

Also all of the information associated with the account is all stuff that has been conjecture in the SA thread...of note are 6/24 and 1981 as dates and Illinois as the map. None of it is new...

That combined with the quote he replied with seems to point to it being fake. As of right now we should probably ignore that account and concentrate on finding another venue.

As an aside, anyone who has been in contact with Robert want to mail him and wish him happy birthday?

^ That's pretty much my thoughts on the matter, I was just holding off on making a final decision for a bit. Smile

It's still the 23rd for me, but I'll be sure to mail him an e-card or something. I e-mailed him good morning today and he wasn't even courteous enough to give me a "GOOD MORNING CUNT. FUCK YOU." back. Sad

You're breakin my heart here, Robert.
