yeah, the word for 'henna' used in the KJV Song of Solomon (1:14 ad 4:13 to be exact) - 'camphire' which takes you to TheGardenWall and the message board. 'henna' itself doesn't do anything.

it's up boys and girls!

:edit: and the begining music is from BoB, Xander's group.

[thebruce]

wow. ok, I'm... impressed, to say the least...

projectyl on FotG posted his findings - Xander did hack the virtue... and not an obvious hack. This is very nice...

SPOILERS below if you want to figure it all out yourself... (not gonna bother to spoilertag it)

Listen to the "I'll Find The Way" audio track - there are a number of instruments, that while basically fitting in with the music, don't actually belong... Projectyl managed to name most of them:
* saxophone
* xylophone
* tuba
* harmonica
* washboard
* drums
* flute
* cowbell
* harp
* trombone
* clarinet
* kazoo

take the first letters and fill in the spots and you get SiXTHWorDoFeaCHTraCK (lower case is filled in)

If you look at the lyrics of the fourteen songs, and again take the first letter of each sixth word, you get: HISRAGTIMEBAND



that, at least is as far as things have got


ETA: ah, ok, in the CoV FB group, Eric posted the hint... in the Temperance video, as he's quoting 2 Timothy 2:20-26, the akwardly silenced few seconds is actually be another hack - the muted phrase fom the verse is "instruments for noble purposes" - the pointer to the extra instruments in the track.

Daily Inspirration

you're right, and the quote isn't right...

TNIV 1 Peter 1:24 reads: 'For, "All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,'

So in the quote: "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the first of six groups of the field."
the bold would also be Xander's hack, hint for his message (or perhaps 'group' means 'band' and there are 6 bands to find? "His Ragtime Band" being the first?)

Family Tree

This is an interesting game. I found about this from another forum. I followed the clue from JesusWantstoSavetheChristians.com to the garden and found the secret area. I also tried calling the number, but it was a clue for a puzzle I already solved.

Could "His Ragtime band" be a reference to "AleXANDERs' ragtime band" By Irving Berlin. Probably coincidence, but might be something. The movie's about a guy who despite his family's wishes peruses ragtime instead of "serious" music. Sounds like at least a small coloration.

I also sent a e-mail on a whim to the e-mail contact at COV, basically saying Lila Greene is worried, and asked that if there is a Xander Greene there he could be asked to contact his worried Aunt. I got a simple reply back thanking me and that she would check in to it. (No real leads, but interesting). I'm curious is there's more to it, or that's the end of the game.

Welcome to unfiction foolster! (and biola )

Yeah the Alexander's Ragtime Band connection seems pretty blatant... but it feels like there should be more than just "hey, it's me, alexander".

One more thing...

[another_pilot_dwn]

what about who the song is by? IOOEA? looks fishy, might just be me.

@Biola: I was thinking that something was not quite right in/on the tree, but can't prove it.

:edit: @Projectyl: could they mean a Vent server? a way to speak to us?
