 		Summary for the week of Nov 9 -Nov 15
just to make it easy to catch up and join us in playing!
I wish I could make this a trail in the way that Adrian Hon so famously documented the Beast - but I'll try to do a weekly update as best I can. I'm organizing this by site -not by date because that is too much back and forth. You can get the gist of the order we found things by following the dates.

http://www.nightmareconfessions.com/- a new week of nightmares is added http://www.nightmareconfessions.com/081109.html
this continues the theme of weekly sets of dreams called in by us and by the Dreamers - people who were part of BA's dream group from the beginning..

if you want to call in a dream - the number is 718-228-9669

http://www.consultantbunker.com/ - Art Lynley... one of the few remaining Sentries from Sentry Outpost (www.sentryoutpost.com) who is now working with Peter from http://www.forsythesecurity.com/ (see note below)

hidden pages: http://www.consultantbunker.com/flak/
which leads to : http://www.consultantbunker.com/fallout/
links on fallout are white on white ( surely an echo of the theme of signal hidden within noise or lost in the background)

Nov. 11:
http://www.consultantbunker.com/fallout/folder.jpg
folder with the name riley signal which leads to www.rileyssignals.com (more below)
http://www.consultantbunker.com/fallout/points.jpg a map
http://www.consultantbunker.com/fallout/source.jpg similar map

there is spec that the map points relate to Indian mounds around the US..which..how cool is that.

Nov. 14:

http://www.consultantbunker.com/fallout/takecareofthis.gif which led us to www.popetattles.com (more below)

http://www.consultantbunker.com/fallout/kevin.jpg image with a hidden box under what I think are highbush blueberries ( I can't help it, I love identifying plants;))

http://www.consultantbunker.com/fallout/tokevin.html image with clues to finding the hidden box..maybe...and it is named "to kevin" not "toke vin."

http://www.consultantbunker.com/fallout/i.jpg an indian mound and perhaps a clue to where the box is??

http://rileyssignals.com/
A new site that has podcasts, though liz likes to call them podecast shows from Dr. Elizabeth Riley. She has been hovering around this story since the original scream and Halloween massacre. Retired now, she is sharing her knowledge with the world. We hadn't found this site before
but there are shows from:

Oct 30 http://www.rileyssignals.com/2008/10/episode-one.html
Nov. 6 http://www.rileyssignals.com/2008/11/episode-two-1.html
Nov. 13 http://www.rileyssignals.com/2008/11/episode-three-1.html

Does this site somehow correlate with the nightmares on nightmare confessions? Skeptics think no, but I see that at least they are both weekly and both based with sound..but I'm wrong a lot too.

http://popetattles.com/
As mentioned above, a new character on the scene is Eddie Pope. Read all the paper, there is lots of interesting info. Click all the images, they lead to more stories.

His original suspect in what he calls the Tarot Murders-- (we didn't know that tarot cards were left before this did we?) involving lots of blood, feathers and occasional bat guano, that sound very similar to the murders of the original sentries a couple of years ago and that happen in the same locations as their deaths--was our deceased friend Kevin Cosby.

Interesting that both he and Art mention Kevin this week. In any event a player quickly tells Pope that Kevin is dead, we know his parents claimed his body, and Pope updates his site.

There are links to videos of someone Pope is following on
http://popetattles.com/breakingnews/

http://www.bseeingu.com/
And last but not least, our BA St. Feline's site updated to seem less than welcoming: it now says I may hurt you, I don't want to.

The source code reveals a conversation leading to twitter user elftrytub
http://twitter.com/Elftrytub

Note the image on the twitter page, it seems to be fractals and may or may not be a clue to something.

Wherein there is a number of texts taken from the brilliant and ground-breaking article Deterministic Nonperiodic Flow, by Lorenz, coiner of the term the butterfly effect (note the twitter name)

the twitter puzzle was solved by Catherwood and mapmaker to read:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
DEAR DREAMER

THE INNER DIAMOND SHIELDS

LAY BEFORE YOU SLEEP

PLACE SHIELD ABOVE CROWN

MINDS EYE CONNECTS EIGHT SHIELD POINTS WITH BLUE AND TONE OUT TO THE OLD ONES


spoilered in case you want to solve it yourself, I guess.


http://www.forsythesecurity.com/
Art works with Peter who runs this site. It updated to read on the main page as follows:

Quote:
11/12/08
Massive changes in the financial sector have left many at risk as new threats emerge. A special session of the Threat Assessment Summit will take place this December in New York City with Forsythe experts on hand to answer client questions and provide strategies for these demanding times.


I don't know if there will be an actual event in NYC or not. But Peter sent Art the info on Pope Tattles with the handwritten note advising Art to take care of it. see http://www.consultantbunker.com/fallout/takecareofthis.gif

So I think we can count Peter as an active participant in this chapter of Eldritch Errors.

Current ideas are all over the map. We need to connect some more dots, find a package, figure out what BA means and much more.

Join us. Discussion is here and at www.sentryoutpost.com Most of the players from here have the same user names there so you can tell who we are.

My two cents: I have a good feeling about this game.

 		Thanks so much for doing this, rose. While current real-world commitments do not allow me the luxury of participating in real time, your updates and summaries are at least allowing me to tag along and keep up to date.

Thanks to DavFlamerock as well...for your thorough and concise summaries of the first two books. They're a door that allow newer players to jump in; your work on them is greatly appreciated.

 		Hey it is great fun for me to write a summary. I hope that more people can join in the fun.

I forgot to mention that we think the package to be found is near these http://gastateparks.org/info/etowah/

indian mounds in Georgia. I think that sapagoo is planning to go on a search for it on Monday afternoon.

 		No prob Blue K. I'm also keeping the Timeline on the SentryOutpost wiki up-to-date, though it hasn't gotten the last couple days because A] a lot has happened, B] I haven't had time to post it, and C] I want to add links to corresponding wiki pages.

 		I've been away for a while, I'll do a quick summary of the past two weeks, which include three pickups of caches, site updates and other goodies.

In the meantime you can track the updates on
http://www.consultantbunker.com/fallout/

and the discussion on Sentry Outpost
