Page 11 of A Reasonable Haven
whoopie

Page 11 of A Reasonable Haven has the symbols we need.

The column under MTC has G T ' 2 M p H
Under * is 1 2 5 _ p B B
The column under FEBRIZZIO'S has s T F F F f F

I have a suspicion that the torn piece of paper starting with 'submarines' could be involved.

Damn the whole piano thing. Piano goes in the trash!

Note I've translated it as "for IPT," i.e. Independent Power Triumvirate, but that's only my guess. <3

For those interested, I overlaid the alphabet horizontally onto the page 11 of ARH and then plucked through to decode that way (I HATE YOU, CAPITAL LETTER Fs).

This only gives the alphabet A through U, so _ can represent either the letter K or else V,W,X,Y,or Z.

EDIT: Okay, scroll up, I think I've settled on my exact decode. <3

So Terry, Lipps, and Mars are the IPT? I don't think we had considered that before (not that I recall, at least). What are the implications of that, especially with Mars getting the map to the rebels?

no, i don't think this is the intended message at all. she says "it" is a three person board (umm. triumvirate, duh, Mars?) haha!

now Mars and Lipps are out celebrating the new Act (Act II of the game after the NYC meet-up or ACT 11 as in the new year?) at any rate, they are out celebrating and we're now left with nothing to work on, look forward to.

*whine*

It seems perfectly reasonable to me that the PMs were waiting for us to fully solve the diary puzzles before advancing the plot (else we may not have been motivated to finish this)

Naw, 'course not!
The PMs just recently told someone OOG that the best was yet to come.. I think it's in the last page of this thread.

Thanks for your note.

You guys are missing something.

Rest assured that the best -- best by an almost incalculably large
margin -- is yet to come.

Please be patient; TIMM has a very, very long tail.

Cheers,

Well lets get crackin on what we're apparently missing. I'm gonna start trying to get my fellow goons over at Something Awful back in the mix because they've proven pretty handy in the past. Sorry I to the PM's that I had to step outta game to get something but I've been worried and losing hope


Mars' diary is now finished. bring it on, Chucky!

Well I did warn that (pretends to be miffed for 5 seconds). The screw up here was the lower case f's and p's being seen as fortes and pianos. Once that idea got traction we were up the creek. Trying to be too clever when it was all basically the same tactic.

Good thing is that the few weeks should have given them time.
