chat No wonder no one was posting. Thanks.
So does anyone know Propette, or is s/he an in game character?
There was an awful lot of steerage towards Santeria.

Dale's Chat Well I missed it:(
Anyhow, after reading the transcript I think he's as anxious as we are to attach a meaning to the graffitti symbols. I even felt he might have been trying to steer us in the right direction with the talk of the manuscript page he found...there was a lot of deatiled talk put forward voluntarily by him.
Someone questioned his use of "illuminated" when he described the page.
Illuminated manuscripts are hand written books that are decorated with paintings and ornaments of different kinds...symbols, angels, knotwork etc.
The study of such manuscripts is called codicology.
The Book of Kells is one example, although Irish does conatin some Latin.
The Book of Hours is another example.
Here's a link to some others. This could be one path to figuring out the graffiti symbol...and maybe a dead end:)

more Reading the transcript, it looks like he had an agenda (of course he did, or he wouldn't have opened the chat) and we, in our eagerness, kept running off on tangents.
I'm embarrassed that it reads exactly like the chat at NoahBoddy with Lady Selene.
Maybe if we get a second shot at it we could let the character speak first and clarify or ask questions afterward?

Dale's chat I sure hope Dale doesn't go missing, like Digitalis, after finding the graffiti symbol on his door.

He said he was going to AGP. This is a big worry for me as well. Whether it is the graffitti symbols, or the men with "dead eyes", or the loansharks - Dale's existence should be labeled "orange alert".

synthasiadale (10:11:22 PM): yes he had a numerical system that ordered the planets
synthasiadale (10:11:48 PM): in the sequence necessary to enter the mythosphere site
synthasiadale (10:12:10 PM): makes me wonder what else we might be overlooking, you know?
That concerns me. Seems almost like we're being told we missed something there.

Maybe next time you can get him into IRC, and moderate the channel, that way he can talk without interruptions.
