 		Has anyone actually put the pieces of the circle together yet?

 		My understanding is, there will be 12 pieces which are presumably to be cut apart on the wavy lightning-like lines; and at the moment we only have 5 (unless he's just recently posted day 6... going to look now...).

Edit:

Sorry, please disregard above. You meant the 4 pieces of the big puzzle from the parchments, I was thinking egg jigsaw. Embarassed

 		This may help or maybe not but I wonder if the length of the keywords are all
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
5 letters long since that is the length of FFEY-T's concentration camp number and also the way the b-day clue date was specifically formatted

 		Peeps who received puzzle pieces in the mail: please ensure all pieces are uploaded. Time to put the image together.

 		Also more on the "chemicals" on Flickr

===Look not at the total of numbers but the /CHARacters of the numbers... ===


which based on my vague understanding of these ciphers maybe has to do with how the cipher is encrypted.

 		Here are all four pieces in a single post. Put them together and you would get a circle, with a square inside it. The circle's read, positive galvin, negative galvin, copper bowl, Placement of 'voice'. I'm thinking something Vitruvian man style, with the dead body spread out inside the circle.

What's really important for us and Forest is the writing outside the circle, I'm assuming it's the instructions.

string- Assuming the tag number matches with the key numbers I would recommend that you try and run your letters through a Vignere cipher with the keyphrase Jedem Das Seine or Buchenwald. A little straightforward, but worth a shot.


Already tried that.. I've hit a total brick wall with the cipher. I have tried so many keywords, even not looking at it for four days hasn't helped... Confused

Been really busy of late too and need to get up to speed.

Phone calls sound awesome Cool

 		Teamwork
I do not have Photoshop nor am I good at cyphers/puzzles, but I am wondering if someone is able to
1) copy the parchment images and combine them, the circle could then be pieced together?
2) take the symbols of the elements that were emailed and using the charge number values, construct a Vignere chart/grid for shifting the letters in the messages on the parchments to decode them?

 		Something a little weird is going on. Forest says he did not send this email to me. So am assuming it was sent by his monitors or that his monitors are sending this email saying they never sent this link.

we... We did not send this. We are confused now. And slightly scared. Forest.

Thank you Forest. I hate to see suffering too. Are you talking about the suffering you have been seeing on your computer?

The link in the original message he says he didn't send is to the "chemicals" and I am not sure what they are for, if related to the cipher or if they are supposed to go in the copper bowl but from what ddl is now saying this all seems to be a recipe to revive a dead person. So now wondering if we are actually helping a Victor Frankenstein who doesn't really care about the consequences to the creature he is trying to bring to life.

Unfortunately I can't remember what Forest said on the phone to me about Father, only that I got the impression Father was trying to hurt him and I remember asking him that specifically but he didn't answer me since it was soon after that the phone call ended.

Forest seems already alive to me though so perhaps this recipe is for someone else.

EDIT

And actually this recipe does seem to be for someone else because

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

in the reading with sarana:

[20:00] <Saranna> Ok. Well, Forest, it seems that in the past you were abandoned by your creator. This "creator" was not your
father, but a creative person, like The Magician.
[20:00] <FFEYT> ...
[20:01] <Saranna> He was working with...ritual of some sort...as well as science.
[20:01] <Saranna> Does this mean anything to you?
[20:01] <FFEYT> His notes. Yes. We... we scatter them, we do not want others to repeat yet we are lonely... go on...
[20:02] <Saranna> Yes, because you are lonely I can see that you are gathering others around you, to help you create a team, to
ultimately alleviate your solitude.

So I guess we are the team helping the part of Forest who wants to create a companion to alleviate his loneliness but there is another part of him that doesn't want this to happen perhaps because

[20:09] <FFEYT> Our face is our face. It neither comfrts nrfrightens us. It scares others though - which is why we only leave on days
of darkness and dismal weather.

 		E-mail I received from Forest(?)
Quote:
Eostre gifts: 12.
We superimposed the tarot, starting with Father's card to honour him.
There are 78 'gifts' as it were so we chose to reveal using the cards and such the image of the prize - the painting...

Like we told Pia on the phone - we never spoke to Father but we honour and respect Father. Father must be obeyed. However, we do not know who sent the communique that contained the '===' symbols.
We have also just noticed the === comment on the egg boards. Again, we did not post that. The === comment may be a hint therefore from Father? How he used my account we do not know but it is therefore probably not used 'directly' in the ciphers - We would just focus on vigenere cipher and the keys. BUT Father [if it is he] talks about 'crack'ing - and talks about looking at the numbers given by the chemicals in a 'different' way - focusing on the /CHARacter of them perhaps??

We would ask that you share all of this as it appears as we are getting very concerned now - we have a feeling we are not alone in our cell.

Forest.

 		Yes, he sent the same email to me minus the first three lines. In my email though there is a link on the /CHAR part that goes here:

http://home2.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/

I guess one of those boxes will decipher the meaning of the "chemicals".

 		Oh! That's one of my favorite websites!

Use the dec/char box. The atomic numbers on their own don't seem to be working for me, so I would recommend trying something else. Weight/Mass?

The atomic numbers look like they would decode from dec/char into base 64 in the text box if placed in the proper order, with 61 being the last entry (=)
