 		The text at the top of the news section on "http://464748848586.webs.com/apps/blog/" translates as:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"find arthur and learn of semiphillins - marcus has been taken by them already - there is not much you can do yet. heed words of the old man listen to him properly. at first he will reject you. call you insane. try to make you leave him alone. this is not an option. tell him marcus was taken by nephiti. he will know what you mean."


I think its Nephiti anyway, theres nothing on google except the name of a MW2 player - so I guess its a neologism.

The final part of the sentance: A O O R U A C S S A E seems to fit into the title of the blog (which must be why the post is called "title coded" - meaning the title is (blog post letters are lower case):

I aM So SorRY BuT MaRcUs WAs TaKeN




Similarly, for the last bit of the puzzle:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
|_()()<
\\/17H
4
/\/3\\/
?3!25?3(71\/3
50/\/\3
7\-\1/\/95
R
J_57
Mess place .)

Look with a new perspective, some things are just misplaced.


The letter square, I can't seem to fathom. It doesn't follow the same logic as the last one anyway.

A comment by "46" on http://464748848586.webs.com/apps/blog/show/3399077-title-coded#comments maybe Arthur has a daughter? Or a wife?

Idea I think it might be Nephilim he means. Thought of them already when he wrote about 'semiphilin'.

 		Hi, just joined and trying to catch up!

Anna Grahm == anagram

The letter square

A M O G
R C A T
H O A D
M A T O
R C S P
D O O G
T B L

is actually an anagram, and translates:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

AGRAHAMARC DOT BLOGSPOT DOT COM
http://agrahamarc.blogspot.com/
Looks like Arthur Graham's blog, he mentions Marcus.


I posted a comment on his latest entry, let's see if he replies.

 		I've made contact with Arthur Graham through his blog.

Link to the post where we've been posting via comments:
http://agrahamarc.blogspot.com/2010/04/quick-update.html

Our conversation (so far):
Quote:
(I gave him the message about Marcus and asked for his help)

Arthur: I'm sorry, Posse. I have no idea what you're talking about.

(I specifically mentioned Marcus Holmes and how he spoke of Arthur and semiphillins)

Arthur: That's impossible. You must be making this up.

(Assured him not making it up and that Marcus might be in danger)

Arthur: It's unavoidable, I guess.

The Semiphillin are, for lack of a better word, demons. They come from another reality, or dimension, if you will, that overlaps our own.

If they've gotten Marcus then yes, Nephiti is definitely involved. Marcus was always the strongest tuner between us. Even if he didn't know it.

They'll be coming after me next... I can feel it.

(Now asking if we can help, asked some more questions about Nephiti, etc.)


If anyone is up on this, please jump in! I don't know how long Arthur is going to be around. Looks like he's going to be in trouble soon.

 		tryin to post on the blog, but wont let me. says credentials cant be verified :-/

Idk if you got this Posse, or maybe anyone else, but I recieved this email last night. The subject line reads - "Well, I guess I can test you people instead":

Quote:
Something is a little different.

Oh, I wonder what it could be.

Let us test you people.

Vengeance may be brought.

Except, you might fail.

In time, we will see.

Time can only tell.

People will have to try hard.

Little things have changed.

Every little thing matters.

As much as the bigger ones.

Seconds tick by.

Everyone is at stake, just as they are responsible.








---------------------Marcus has gone quiet hasnt he.

Get your friends.

Each one of them might be needed to solve the test I left

That is one reason Marcus needed such people


He knew some of you were special.

Even willing to trust you straight away, despite the risks.

Listen, I am not as trusting.

People are dangerous. Semiphillin fly. As rests.

 		I thought I'd update again, Arthur is asking us to do something.

Here's the link to the convo so far on his blog:
http://agrahamarc.blogspot.com/2010/04/quick-update.html

To pick off where I left off:
Quote:

(Asked about Nephiti, tuners)

Arthur: Nephiti is a powerful entity who was born from "He."

To explain what a tuner is, I'd need to explain electricity to you.

When it was discovered, we assumed it was a naturally occuring energy on our world. This is not true. Somehow, it was accidently pulled through the veil [the wall the separates us from the other realities that exist, one of which the Semiphillin are from] following this 'discovery' electricity changed our own reality, and made the veil less stable.

Electricity is the psychic energy that Semiphillin and other creatures from their reality naturally produce within the brain. Also known as Bioelectricity. Humans didn't have this until after we pulled this energy into our world.

Children from that point were born with the bioelectricity. Before then, it is unknown what actually allowed our brains to function and work with nerves.

Since electricity is born from naturally psychic beings, it is, in nature, a psychic energy. Some people can harness it to use a very low-level from of mental ability called "tuning." It is the ability to tune your own energies in with the electrical energy around you. Most of us can't do much beyond give the Semiphillin headaches.

If my thinking is correct, the people who wish to help Marcus, and me, were naturally drawn to it because of their own ability to tune. It may vary from person to person within your group. But, if you can all concentrate it, we may be able to scare off those Semiphillin who are tracking me right now.

I have a theory. It might not even work. Would you and your accomplices be willing to help?

(I say yes)

Arthur: I believe that if you all try to tune, and channel that energy into harming the Semiphillin, your total power may be enough to scare them off. Not a permanent fix, but it'll buy me a few days.

Right now, they could get to me anywhere between 1 - 3 days.

I know there is an email address that one of them uses. They can tune expertly, and thus 1 email could destroy entire websites, crash banks, and even kill. If we can find one of the addresses, we can bombard it with your collective tuning and hold them off.

The only problem is this: I don't know any way to get one such address without risking giving away my position. I'm going to be no help in this part. For that I apologise.

(I ask if there's any more info on this email address, and also about Sheoul)

Arthur: I'm sorry, I don't know who that is. In Jewish mythology, Sheol is a sort of hell, but the spelling suggests that he has a deeper meaning to it.

Why do you ask??


So what do you guys think about this Sheoul? He's the one who put up the message that Marcus was taken and to find Arthur. I'm guess he's the one responsible for the other

The missing and skewed letters makeup the word:

Tried to see if the words in caps at the bottom of the message would scramble into anything else heres what I got, but only one really seems to stand out:

thats all i got for now

 		We had just mentioned Sheoul to Arthur and I think he may have made an appearance:

Puzzle looks like it needs to be solved soon...

The one thats really hard is:I _+olog se f4 the bad iptionɹɔuǝ b$7 eye :m d0 _g t 15 w17_ only tuning.

the only thing I got from that was "[something] see if the bad encription (encryption?) [something] only tuning."

 		Update on what I think this says :

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Don't lie.
We all know.
Oh, Arthur. I waited so long to see you. You're very hard to get a hold of.
I have what they need but first I want to play a little game of the mind. A puzzle.
I apologise for the bad encryption but I am doing this with only tuning.
Play with me.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
Tick tock
tick tock the ticking clock


EDITED: Ok this is what I think the comment says.

 		The part of the puzzle that is upside down:
Quote:

I think says:

the giver, and nurterer who is strongest of the line before his seed.
commonly now in the future, his gender is swapped and passed on, through paper and wires, instantly and slowly. he is the alpha opposite of the life giver. what is it?


This might be a clue to how to solve the letter jumble?

 		I checked Sheouls guest book, and from what I can gather, the numbers 45, 46, 47, and 48 all correspond to a different demon. I also asked Arthur about the numbers and their significance, He said he knew but he couldnt explain right now. But He did wonder if it meant that 'they' came back.

Also in the guest book, Sheoul posted a little clue reading PATTERN.
I looked at the jumble again and picked out these misplaced characters:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
All g[6]a[4] R r[6] e[%)] T = all garret


no idea if what that could mean, or...if its even correct, but thats what I got so far.

 		I also came up with that Syke but I got another character towards the end -- looks like there is supposed a "d" missing in one of the patterns? So if that counts I get:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
AllgaRreTd


Could be just a typo though.

 		Sheoul posted a reply to my comment on the puzzle. He says were missing 5 characters. I found two more to complete (maybe?) the first name:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Allen Garret


but he said we were missing 5, so that means we still have 3 characters missing?
