This is more bible referenceing, the leviathan i cant remember where ive seen that but the second part refering to salt makes me think of when in genesis, i think it was when lot was fleeing with his family and lead by abraham and God said, if anyone looks back they shall be turned into a pillar of salt and so i think it was sarah who turned back to look s they fled and she became a pillar of salt.

if this is incorrect im sorry could someone correct it but may be it has some reference to hal and his visions?

sorry for the long post,

Hm... Leviathan was a sea monster in the Old Testament. Nowadays the word has just come to mean any sea monster at all... I believe Moby Dick is referred to as a "leviathan" at some point in that book. Giant sea monster, whale, etc.

The pillar of salt is a reference to Lot's wife, another Old Testament story. Lot, his wife, and his daughters were being led away from Sodom before it was destroyed, but were told not to look back on it. Lot's wife looked back, signifying a desire to return to a strictly material, hedonistic place (the realm of the Devil and other wicked folks, supposedly), and thus was turned to salt.

Random biblical knowledge, ahoy! All those years of Sunday school are finally coming in handy.

Try the book of Job if you're looking for the behemoth and the leviathan. They are both there, one right after the other as a matter of fact...

Actually, there's a whole lot of biblical imagery going on there, with several direct quotes. Here are what I would consider the obvious sources to consider:

Genesis 19:23
Job 40:15-24 & all of 41
Isaiah 21:9
Matthew 6:19
Revelation 14:8

Also, technically, all of earth is considered the realm of the devil, not just Sodom...(2 Cor. 4:4). Cool

 		I'm just a lurker, and I started following hallucinine on twitter about four or five days ago. I've never asked a question, but recieved this DM about five minutes ago:

"Th9y s5y th9y w5nt to know th9 truth th9n 8on't 69li9v9 you wh9n you t9ll th9m th9y 5r9n't th9 5nsw9r to 9v9ry qu9stion."

Just thought I'd pass it along.

 		I'm still here, and lurking...

Sorry I haven't contributed much fellas, I just feel much more compelled to participate when a game is really ramping up, and at the moment, I think this is pre game.

I'd gladly get proven wrong though, the writing for this is quite fun to read. Smile

 		Uno has posted 2 new pictures on the FB hallucinine album.

The fact is that both of them matches perfectly with 2 pictures that I've just found here: http://www.firstworldwar.com/ (vintage photograps/poison gas):

http://www.firstworldwar.com/photos/graphics/cnp_gas_aeroplane_01.jpg tagged as "gas attack seen from an aeroplane (CNP)"

and http://www.firstworldwar.com/photos/graphics/hw_gergasattack_01.jpg tagged as "Aerial photo of a German gas attack on the Eastern Front (HW)"

Looking at the Uno's birthday: 09/09/1909 plus the photo on his profile (gas mask?) I'm thinking if this whole story is something related to a First World War episode.

 		Hi, all,

Just checking in...I got friended on Facebook today by Uno Hallucinine, and was glad to be able to read up here on what's happened so far. I've followed him on Twitter & will keep an eye open for further developments. Looking forward to playing this one out with y'all.

Anywhose, i know in revelations that theres a quote about magog and another peoples attack jerusalem from the north..... maybe a lead? Also we have the Beast coming from the Sea in revelations..... maybe something to do with leviathans?

Of course it's not your fault. after all, you're only human.

 		DIRECT MESSAGE FROM HAL
Hey guys and gals Smile I don't normally post on here, but I thought this would be the place to provide the info I have. I sent an email to Hal which said the following:

Hallucinine, I'm writing this encoded, so that if it gets interceoted, perhaps it will help it stay private. I'm very interested in hearing some more about this "virus" you mentioned. Also, from your messages I am guessing that there will be a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. If this is so, is there any word of warning or information you would like me to get out to any particular goup of people? Sincerely, Rev

This is the reply I recieved in a direct message on twitter instead of a reply to my email:
Quote:
MZILJ DVREJ DREP KYZEXJ. DFUVIE URP JFUFD REU XFDFIIRY ZJ RCIVRUP YVIV. SV MZXZCREK. ZEWFIDRKZFE TFDZEX JFFE

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
VIRUS MEANS MANY THINGS. MODERN DAY SODOM AND GOMORRAH IS ALREADY HERE. BE VIGILANT. INFORMATION COMING SOON.

Very Happy

Mike (sorry, not sure what your name is on here) replied, asking what the voices say. Here's where it gets interesting... In Uno's reply, not only does 9=e, but 8=d. I have a feeling that will come in handy later.


That was me!!! Very Happy
