TY dreamerblue. Am also in awe of your connex-map. Re Vanessa butterflies: there is a 4th species called The American Lady.
Also, J.P. replied to my email asking for his AIM addy and my curiousity about his hidden cipher's meaning or threat.

I was chatting to Vlad and Mr. Intelligent went ahead and lost the chat history AGAIN.

I asked him about the NGBHIETNTSANSHTEUHSEADHNGTEIS message and he gave me the clues and practically gave me the answer and unfortunately I'm a bit slow and didn't get it till he went offline and I couldn't show off my smartness to him. In fact he got really frustrated with me because he "Handed it to me on a silver platter." (He quoted Mark 6:28 ) After some careful thought (and a coffee) it struck me.

He told me that it was easy to write [and left and right again] or something to that affect then told me about the Australian band Pendulum. Well as I said he got really annoyed and told me he was sicking of explaining everything and that I should imagine then it hit me. So I'll give you the answer but not the method, you can figure that out yourself. It says "The sun has set and the night begins."

THX Jim, did have an anagram with "sunset" and "night" but left it alone for the holiday rush. Laughing

Vlad's "Pendulum" method means starting in the middle and forming the words from left to right outwards. Kewl.

ETA: searched Tribal Pages for a Louis Weiller with no joy. A stretch next? W. Weiller (aka Wyler) was the film director of The Collector, a scenario about an obsessive city hall clerk who collects butterflies.

Vlad's wall message at 6:04 EST
"It has moved from the first to the seconds, yet the players are still at 0."

Message hidden in ALL my emails from J.P.W.
"MOVING THE SECONDS FOR NATIONAL DEFENCE"

http://i45.tinypic.com/1zecq2v.jpg
^^ A side by side shot of the recent email, and the same shot, but with everything highlighted

I assume that means the 'Argonauts' as Vlad referred to JPW and Department 18 as, have already made their first - and possibly second - moves. We still have stuff to figure out.

Also, supposedly other 'pieces' got more bits. In the Kings and Bishops album, there is a picture of a picture (taken from Ebay, I think, due to the watermark.) that says I <3 Celia. If you didn't read the messages between Vlad and I above, Celia is another name for the Patron Saint of Music. With the Beethoven references, I think there may be a connection.

Also, good work on the anagram thing Very Happy

"Moving the seconds"...I decided to Google "seconds chess" to try and figure out a connection besides just "being the second to move" and discovered that http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=1912 says, "The seconds are chess coaches with whom the players have been working to prepare for the match." Interesting...I never thought of chess masters as having coaches before. I suppose I always assumed they were just very gifted people who are just able to "see" stuff and/or have advanced analytical skills.

Some new stuff up on Vladimir's profile today:

First, he apologizes for doing so, but the PM has to break the 4th wall temporarily for legal reasons, asking that any player who is under the age of 16 notify him via private message. He promises to remove the OOG post in 1 week. So...if you're under 16, send Vlad a message.

Second, to compensate for breaking the 4th wall, he posts a riddle: a photo of a man, commented on 4 times by himself, with the caption:

Just posting this real real fast before I go to bed, but I talked to Vlad (which I am always terrible at this time of the morning) and he asked me this:
