The cat is a tradition at that hotel that started back in the 1930's when Frank Case took in a stray cat. Ever since then there has always been a cat in the hotel lobby named Hamlet or Matilda

Hello . . . I've been lured over by the cross-posting at "Tarot by Saranna" thread. I am reading the back posts, but am wondering about "quick" means of jumping in/throwing down the gauntlet? I have started following @Whiterabbityt, am reading about Game One, and I have added him as contact on Flickr (but can't see much yet). Thank you!!

Also I noticed some white, reversed letters on the magnifying glass of the ?how picture.

Can't seem to make them out...

I saw the white letters as well, I am unsure if they are merely an effect of the camera or not.

Also, while I did think that MC could mean 1100, it could also be interpreted as Morse Code.

Shelley posted a tweet that seemed to imply that he made an error in his design of the card, perhaps related to the binary?

As for the anagram idea, it seems like one of the best ideas for that line.

Alright people, I got the package. I need to photoshop my address out of some stuff and upload the pictures, but to tease you, I'll give you an inventory. I have to go somewhere right quick after this but when I get back, I'll go more in depth.

PARCEL ENVELOPE:
-There is so much going on with this envelope it's not funny. Actually it was pretty funny, to me, when I got it. The USPS employee was not amused.
-YT told me he'd send me six Winnie the Poohs and a thistle. He was talking about stamps.

CONTENTS:
1. Square envelope sealed with wax lowercase g with a card inside
2. Two pieces of paper stuck together, copy of a latin text, title, De Occulta Philosophia. There is some stuff hidden on it.
3. 1 golden plastic broken Crucifix Jesus
4. 1 burnt match
5. 1 clear plastic cylinder
6. 1 broken piece of incense (actually really more like six pieces)
7. Several ripped up pieces of paper
8. 1 bajillion pieces of plant material

Re: 8, it appears to be rosemary. I would taste this to make sure, but I was specifically instructed not to eat the clues.

EDIT: I UPLOADED EVERYTHING SO FAST. Good to know I'm getting what I'm paying for, Cox Internet.

Just quickly, it's way past bedtime:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The morse on the envelope is _ _ . . _ _ . . _ _ . = ZZG which translates through Z codes to "You are correct"



As for the youtube vid of his grave... I did notice he seemed upset on twitter and changed his display pic to icicles. I jokingly made a reference to the mistake and the re-issued Hanged man card but deleted it since he seemed to be taking it badly.

I guess FFE Y-T was under the impression he was still alive...

The new binary makes even less sense than the old lot to me. Anyone having any joy with it?

Slightly hidden messages: On Ofiuco's package pics, the Do Not Bend has the letters SHARE ticked. In his latest "sorry" Tweet, letters *omitted* are DOA.

I could be wrong, but I think the 'anger' is part of the roleplaying, not personal. This dude is quite the actor as well as writer, researcher, etc. - or else we're being pwaned by a group's project, lol.

Emailed Forest a few questions and received this about 10 mins ago.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
We cannot answer right now. We have things to deal with. Things much larger than riddles and parcels.
Lies told to us from birth...

Forest


I agree with Rich Reder, unless stated, everything we get from Forest is IG.

Well I sure hit a soft spot with him . . wonder what is going to happen next

Edit: He sent me a message with a photo, the message read
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I...we... are unable to talk right now.
We will be more focussed later. Work on rhymes, riddles, the tasks.
We, I, will talk later.

?.?.?.?.-?.
Also there was a picture of a steamed window with the word "Sorry" written a bunch with (his?) finger, there is also (his?) hand in the picture

Oh how funny, Julius Caesar was killed on this day and is in our recent clues, and Forest finds out he is actually dead today, I still don't know if it was a good idea informing him of this Sad

Damn Nutley! What have you done? Smile
I saw the video myself, and made reference to how it stated his friends called him Tommy, but nothing more than that.

I thought Shelley had already said he knew of his namesake...
With everything that has happened lately I am beginning to wonder just how far the connections between this and Tarot go.

Edit: He said I something is really going down now!

Do I need to go give Shelley a hug? I go away for an hour. YOU GUYS.

Also, I am now writing firsthand what I'm seeing. I will be live-updating the Wiki page I linked earlier. Refresh to see what I'm up to.

I also have to confess I've received a couple OOG messages from the PM (owing to the transfer of address and being afraid of killing me with biological weapons and such). So I concur - everything you see from YT is IG unless otherwise noted. Trust me, it will be noted clearly.

His display pic has changed again from icicles to a Mayan rabbit scribe

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.mathcs.duq.edu/~tobin/maya/

"Another anthropomorphic figure is the Rabbit Scribe. Human scribes with animal heads are often depicted on Maya pottery: there are examples of scribes with vulture, deer, and monkey heads on various vessels. However, the Rabbit Scribe is not anthropomorphic, but is depicted simply as a rabbit holding a brush pen.

In a Classic Maya funerary vase from northern Guatemala, now in the Princeton University Art Museum, the rabbit was made into a scribal god! Among the Maya, divine scribes usually are monkeys. It is not known if there were any rabbit scribe gods among the Maya. The scene on the vase describes the ghastly rituals in the underworld. It may even be an illustrated chapter from the adventures of the Hero Twins (as recorded in the Quiché Maya holy book Popol Vuh). The rabbit sits below an important old god, perhaps diligently recording the human sacrifice happening in front of the old god in a jaguar-pelt bound codex. (Lo)"


He mentioned "Mayan" earlier today on Twitter, but my head is reeling now. Thanks for the parcel updates ofiuco. I'll be back 2moro.

Package also contains a ripped-up pamphlet from here:

http://www.lunarsociety.org.uk/

EDIT: As a matter of fact, you can find the very pamphlet, unripped, on the About page.

I thought you guys would like that.

And you know about the rabbits in the moon, right?

Noted the Yahoo grave video was posted on Feb. 6 - a week before our game was announced, on Valentines Day via messages to ARGnet. I'm thinking FFEYT planted it there via a friend/co-conspirator... perhaps even he's the male voice heard speaking to the lady tour guide!?
