"Faithless fish" makes me think of the Darwin parody symbol, but that leads me nowhere.

So far, EB's idea of a fifth item leading to 2 numbers (though without a hyphen) in a category identified by Donimo seems closest to me. As per Hathor, it certainly makes sense to continue to think about it since it is not perfect (and the lack of a hyphen bothers me), but it would not surprise me if EB's post turned out to be correct. I am less sanguine about birthdays or birth years that seem less clued and more arbitrary. But we shall see. (If the numbers are indeed an index into the Weekly Inspiration, some healthy backsolving may be available.)

hey, cool little update.. I'm volunteering in merchandise at acquire the fire this weekend in Hamilton (a youth convention), and I'm working with Savannah to become an official Virtu-Volunteer there
They're sending me a batch of cards, she asked my shirt size, and they're working on getting official permission from the event coordinators (otherwise it'll be me independently).

hee!

Well, if you suddenly disappear we promise to set up a Find the Bruce msg board and leave no stone unturned.

Here is the latest email that I was sent to Erin Cole's email address after I asked for Tabitha to send an email:

Rich, that seems to make sense. Especially since the next virtue is Chastity & the next location on the ministries list is the research center, the home of Passionix.

I also wonder if we are supposed to take down each of the seven staff members, like Alejandra Gonzales for this current task related to patience since she is associated with the camp....

It looks like there are mostly logical pairings between everything. Presuming the formatting doesn't get gnarled on computers other than my own, here's my predictions on what we've got to look forward to:

I like the orderings, and it makes perfect sense.

I do think though that Savannah and Leon could switch... diligence and merchandise could easily go together - Savannah's very outgoing and basically in promotions, PR, very opposite of sloth, and requires a lot of dilligence... and outreach takes a lot of humility. Very possible that Leon and Savannah could represent Humility and Dilligence respectfully, IMO

Nice table, Projectyl!

I made a similar spreadsheet, and I agree that Passionix and Justin are definitely next. It'll be to see the additions made to the Passionix page.

If we're starting to think meta, here... we can also add some columns of Rainbow Colors and Seven Principles to the sheet. There's almost a direct mapping of each virtue to a principle. Marriage is tricky, but you could argue Diligence. The others pretty much fall into place nicely.

Then, we should probably look at sorting by rainbow color that's on the website: Red, Indigo, Orange, Violet, Blue, Yellow, Green. I'm sure we'll have to do that at some point.

I'm hoping that in the endgame, we'll have use all or most of these pairings and connections to come up with a final answer of sorts.

@thebruce: Y'know, I was so fixated on the idea that the ministries were given in order that I didn't even think of moving the Outreach Center along with Leon Lutz. I like that virtue-ministry pairing even better; the Merchandise Center is described as "a beehive of activity", and what's an Outreach Center but a way to tell everyone how great you are?

@ToddE: All excellent ideas for additional columns; all added.

Why, no, I'm not trying to kill time waiting for the Weekly Inspiration. Why do you ask?

Whoo, wasn't expecting an extra puzzle on top of spotting the numbers!
