 		Yeah, that's what I figured. I'll sporadically update with more spoiler/PMs as I find things out, in case anyone has any suggestions or ideas.

Has anyone been in much contact with Grant, Lacerus, or Galavant? I don't really have any reason to harass Galavant, but might start just for kicks. It doesn't seem like he's had a lot of activity on the board, though.

 		More the merrier!

Recruitment Challenge for video has been extended and a new forum challenge is up. Lacerus confirms that doing every challenge isn't required to get all the necessary points. With scores up, that looks pretty valid, especially if you happen to be on the leader boards for activity.

Lacerus talked on the "Why should we join you?" thread about how each founder was kicked out of previous LARP groups. Might follow up on that with some of the founders.

 		Welcome! \(^_^)_

I made a forum post asking about how people's hard LARPing experiences ousted them from communities in the hopes of response.

 		I haven't really had time to do much this weekend, but Randy sent out another mass PM:

Quote:
Hey, y'all. This here's a message to all my new friends.

I got this threatening message from the Admin account. All the founders have access, so it coulda been any of 'em. You think it's Dylan tryin' to get me to stop talkin' to y'all about Sophia's murderer?

"STOP SNOOPING AROUND OR YOU'LL REGRET IT."

That part about regretting it makes me think he's sayin' he'll kick me out for good. I don't know why he had to get so mean about it, though, or couldn't just send it from his own account.

I guess if that's what he wants, I'll give it up. The only other thing I have to ask you for is some help with my latest battle plan. Here are the coordinates:

49 27 6d 20 6e 6f 74 20 72 65 61 6c 6c 79 20 67 69 76 69 6e 27 20 75 70 20 74 68 65 20 69 6e 76 65 73 74 69 67 61 74 69 6f 6e 2e 20 54 68 61 74 20 77 61 73 20 77 68 61 74 20 49 20 6c 69 6b 65 20 74 6f 20 63 61 6c 6c 20 22 61 20 6c 69 74 74 6c 65 20 6d 69 73 64 69 72 65 63 74 69 6f 6e 2e 22 20 48 61 76 65 20 79 6f 75 20 67 6f 74 74 65 6e 20 61 6e 79 74 68 69 6e 67 20 66 72 6f 6d 20 45 6c 69 7a 61 20 79 65 74 3f 20 49 66 20 61 6e 79 6f 6e 65 20 6b 6e 6f 77 73 20 73 6f 6d 65 74 68 69 6e 67 2c 20 73 68 65 20 77 69 6c 6c 2e

Thanks,

I'm not really givin' up the investigation. That was what I like to call "a little misdirection." Have you gotten anything from Eliza yet? If anyone knows something, she will.

 		I wrote a message ti Eliza two days ago, asking her why she thinks some people were jealous about Sophia's powers (she mentions that in a post in the A Dirge for the fallen topic) and if she thinks that jealousy has something to do with Sophia's death... she haven't answer me yet.
So I don't know anything else apart of what is written of larp hard forums

 		Eliza posted an interesting picture on the public picture section...

Not sure what to make of it yet.

My attempt:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Substitution based cryptogram: "What is the 18-word, two sentence qwote (quote?) from the canon that inspires my LARP? B 3, Ch 19, all caps, begins then and ends yow (now?)"


Possible answer: (No luck here)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
From this site http://www.hp-lexicon.org/about/books/pa/rg-pa19.html, I chose the only all caps quote and sent it to Eliza in a PM. I'm not sure if it's the right one, but it fits the description. I'll give an update once I find out more.


Update to possible answer:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Eliza's reply to the quote: "Good quote. Close..."


Another possible answer:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's so hard when I don't have the actual book to find quotes with. "THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED! DIE RATHER THAN BETRAY YOUR FRIENDS, AS WE WOULD HAVE DONE FOR YOU!"


While I think it's possible for me to try to talk to other founders, I'm probably going to talk to them one at a time as opposed to all at once. Right now, I'll be focusing on Eliza.

 		Yes that has to be it. The "cryptogram" uses the same symbol for w as u, making the final word "you" not "now".

 		Eliza sent me a message today:
Quote:
"I see your point. There were some problems, sure...

I actually have a video from the festival that might help. It shows one of the founders who probably had a grudge against my friend. But we're not really supposed to talk about this stuff with the candidates. If you or your friends want me to break Lacerus' decree of silence, you'll have to prove that you're devoted to the ways of wizarding kind.

Are you up to it?"


the final phrase os the message points to the photo, so I guess that if we send her the correct quote she will show us the video.


That's my today's contribution Wink

 		I got the same solution for the cryptogram, and i think Lystella's right with the quote, I've been searching for other posibilities but no one fits except for the Sirius one.

UDDATE: I replied Eliza message telling her 'bout the decrypted message (I told her that we agreed that the sirius black quote could be the possible answer) and this was her message back:

Quote:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Brilliant. Thanks for your help with that one. I can tell you're a fellow wizard at heart.

Lacerus wants us to not bother the candidates with stuff about Sophia, so sorry. I have to drop that conversation.

Have you been spending a lot of time on the main site? That's a great place for candidates to learn more. If they're up to it.

.mov"



wich lead us to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.larp-hard.com/uptoit.mov where we can se Sophia and Randy fighting


Now I'll go to sleep because it's about 1:50 am in here... good night!!!

 		Another PM:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
efferson Beauregard has sent you a message on LARP HARD

Subject: Another Creepy Message...

------------
Hey, everyone.

I got another message, but this time it's different. It's a piece of paper with letters cut out and taped to it, like on a ransom note. You can see it here:

http://stickyitchers.com/cicerllwyn.jpg

This is gettin' pretty freaky. Any ideas? I got no idea what it means.

Sincerely,
Jefferson Beauregard
------------


I'll start working on it, but it doesn't make much sense to me yet. Cipher?

 		I got Beauregard's puzzle.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.larp-hard.com/cicerllwyn.html There are three letters in red: STOP. Highlight the page for this message:
Before you took her life, Sophia spoke to me of Cicerllwyn.
It is Heaven and Hell, guilt and innocence, love and heartache.
It is where she is now
And where you will be soon.
Stop searching for a scapegoat or else.


I've sent Beauregard the answer.
Also, have you noticed LARP-HARD's newest member? Hmmm...

 		With the way some other people are acting to her, it doesn't really seem like she's in game, does it?

Eliza left a comment for Lacerus "We letting just any old psycho in these days? Razz"

And check out the comments on her page from the two founders.

I solved the puzzle on her page though.

The letters i o o e n w h i l d w k e m k are not crossed out. Working on it.
