 		Of course, I go to work and all kinds of crazy stuff goes down. I'll admit, I kinda hope V did it, just because that's completely badass Twisted Evil

Got a weird email from the Bakery:

Apologies, we almost forgot, yes we do deliver to most capitals.

We look forwards to hearing from you as soon as possible.


Possibly a hint, to you know, read the capital letters in the cupcake file lol.

I also got the same one mentioned above, about Poeas' connection to VS. Strangely, I didn't get any DMs from V. Usually when weird stuff has happened in the past, she sends me Tweets. Also, no indication that this would happen from her blog this morning. So, I guess she found an appropriate birthday present for Jason, eh?

Any updates on what the password might be?

Edit: Also:

Maybe V had sleeper instructions planted in her to kill JPW, or maybe someone else killed JPW and has brainwashed V.


That's very Zoolander Wink

 		I'm posting this from my iPhone in bed, too tired to do this myself... Could one of y'all please make a section on the Puzzles page of the wiki for figuring out the pword, & can we put all attempted words there? Thanks Smile.

Eta: in that "I am the daughter" etc message, what do you get if you take only th red or green stuff?

 		Claire has posted a new image, labled Prison, on facebook. It looks very much like Marylebone Parish Church.

Edit - on closer examination, it's not - but could be the picture on the ministry site in negative.

Edit 2 - it's St George's Church on Wells Way.

 		Just had this message from Claire when I asked about the church. Maybe we should be worried about the new Queen.

Quote:
it's where I was held. My prison. When Nat was driving to London, as we crossed over the Thames Nat said I almost went trance like and told her to go right and left etc and then next thing I knew we were outside that church. Then when i picked up the memory stick from under the boat when i looked up I saw that church in the distance. I could see it was by a school. I'm also guessing that was the park I saw in my dream from the window too. Has anyone heard from Vanessa today? James mentioned the tradition of killing the May Queen and am worried that's what they're doing!!

 		New message from Claire.
Quote:
think it might have been H on vs log on's. She said something about holding the moa off for as long as she could and that her grandpa had taught her well or something like that. As for how the machine works or indeed how v was to kill this guy i've no idea! I only know what i was told. Which i'm not entirely sure i believe!

H was late 20's black shoulder length hair that was dead straight, even after her sleep. When she went to sleep i couldn't wake her by shouting at her. She remained asleep until she sat bolt upright and said 'it's started.' She has piercing green eyes that are intense. At first she reminded me of a crow who wanted to peck my eyes out. When i got into the taxi with nat i hadn't noticed but she was in there. She grabbed my laptop and closed her eyes and a little smoke came out. Then she said 'my name is henriette and we have a lot to talk about and then she shook my hand. The next thing i knew i was back at nat's. She told me that jpw kidnapped me but that she was the one in the tower, the one that told me to forget and the one that guarded me.

 		Haven't heard anything from V and my computer is running to slow to even comment to her on MoA.

Been pondering this password situation and I'm stumped. V's last tweet before she went crazy was:

Quote:
Father Especially Horrible, Understandable re security but *still* haven't got him a present - been really hard to think of something...


No anagrams with FEHU. Also tried it as a password and nothing Sad

 		FEHU is a rune. It's also known by other names. Hasn't there been some mention of runes before?

It's also known as Feoh in old English, I think. It's the first rune and means Cattle or Wealth.

Vanessa also used the rune URUZ on her blog, also called UR, meaning strength.

 		I just found a site that says it is thought by some that there is a correspondence between the Tarot and runes...and that FEHU corresponds to the Tower card. http://www.sunnyway.com/runes/tarot.html

Also, here is the "Jason is dead" picture: http://www.theoi.com/Gallery/M20.1.html

 		The two letters we have so far are also the first two letters of FUTHARK, the name of the runic alphabet.

 		Aethalides replied to a short condolence email I sent her. Interesting she mentions Poeas as I did NOT.

I'm wodnering whether or not I have done the right thing. brinigng you al into this mess -but I was following orders, like I am now - I should never question orders, but Vanessa, well I should say Atalanta, is making us change all of our procedures - to make it more... hierarchical...
I'm scared frankly.
Poeas, I knew about - she was always a loose canon, sorry cannon, but the circle musn't be broken - ever, despite who is in charge. Otherwise churches and nations will fall...
[and i'll be out of a job!Smile]
Not many people liked Jason - JPW whatever, but me, well, let's just say I understood where the birds flew...

Your friend.

ETA: Vanessa has a new Yahoo blog entry...nicely creepy one.

Canon/Cannon: When sending a message, a spelling mistake is pretty easy to correct, lol. Significance? Not really sure...

Quote:
As an Argonaut, Poeas is identified as the greatest archer of the group. When facing the giant Talos, some accounts say Medea drugged the bronze giant and Poeas shot an arrow to poison him in his heel.

Poeas had a role in the apotheosis of Heracles. When Heracles realized he was dying from poisonous centaur blood he demanded a funeral pyre built and lit once he stood atop it. Yet, none of his own men would light the pyre, a passer-by (Poeas) was asked by Heracles to light the pyre. In return for this favor Heracles bestowed his famed bow and poison arrows upon Poeas


Edit:
V's latest Tweet:

 		Totally unrelated thing, but seeing the name 'Talos' makes me want to play Oblivion, like, right now..

On topic though. I'm still having no luck with the password. I've tried to bruteforce it a bit, but no long term attempts. I also tried a loophole in MS Word 2003, but wasn't successful.

I think we're missing something here, when it comes to the password reminders file. I just can't tell what.

 		This is just me, rambling right now, thinking about Numbers and....numbers.

Numbers in the Bible seems to be about God counting his people. That's pretty much all I got.

numbers (lowercase)... 111 has always come up. It came up with VS previously and now it's played a huge role. I don't know if this means anything, but we know the 1 card in Tarot is the Magician.

Quote:
Divination
When the Magician appears in a spread, it points to the talents, capabilities and resources at the querent's disposal. Depending on the card's placement in relation to other cards, the message is to tap into one's full potential rather than holding back, especially when there is a need to transform something. There are choices and directions to take. Guidance can arrive through one's own intuition or in the form of someone who brings about change or transformation.[7]

The card can mean that a manipulator is floating around, usually if it's reversed. He may be a beneficent guide, but he does not necessarily have our best interests in mind. He may also represent the querent's ego or self awareness. He can also represent the intoxication of power, both good and bad.[citation needed]


What if....we have 3 antagonists? Three Magicians, so to speak. And to what end? IDK. Just...rambling. I'm tired. Embarassed

 		I've updated the wiki to reflect stuff up to partway down page 18 of this thread, but I have to do some, y'know, real-life work stuff now. I won't likely get back to gaming tonight. Thanks to those of you who already typed up the details of the "around in circles" puzzle and the details of the Masquerade puzzle.

Here's an area where you can put down all the passwords you've tried to use to open the password-protected file: http://argon.wikia.com/wiki/Puzzles#Passwords:_Indigo_and_Violet . Please use it...it is helpful to see what tactics others are trying, and also helps us all not try the exact same things.

Edit: of course, I had to check Facebook before trying to get down to work, and Claire is there to talk to, heh.

V left this on my MoA profile, in response to my concern about what happens to the May Queen in some cultures (killed at the end of the day):

Quote:
The May Queen is elected, chosen by the people.
I am chosen by a higher power, by my Father's blood and my mother's wisdom.
I am Vanessa Atalanta and I will not be removed.
