 		Guys, I think I know what we may have missed. Looking at my note from Mr. Notes, at least, there were these.funny underlined letter chunks on the journal snippets. I noted it but didn't really consider much of it at.the.time. But did anyone else see any underlined letters or words in their mysterious notes? I bet it's a puzzle!

I'll look over it more tonight when I get off work.

 		Finally!
Mr. Postman finally came Razz

Same "heed my notes" message

since this is one of several messages sent to tom with inexplicable notes that AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE!, do you think it's about time we called him on the fact it is likely him doing it in somekind of trance mode/multiple personality? It's the ONLY explanation....unless Mr. Notes is pretty quick with the steam the envelope open trick :/

I didn't get an envelop. I got a print with my letter, so I got a folder instead. But I checked anyway... I don't see anything written on either of the things that were stuck to my folder.

I know I can't shut up about this, but I really really REALLY think there's something to the theory that the underlined letters in each of Mr. Notes notes are important somehow! I looked over my own letter, and the underlined letters, in no specific order, are:

not
s
h
e
e
d
e
m
y

Maybe these somehow make a word, or a sentence, or something? I can make out "she", "my" and "not" in there... but there's a left over "e d e" there... Looking over the other notes people got, the letters are:

Cyng's note, however, is... un... exactly like mine, except in the center there's the "rebirth" ring code combination instead of the "death" one...

...nevermind. Further examination just shows that the underlined letters read "heed my notes". That's one dead end... gah! I'm out of ideas...

 		It seems like we're missing/overlooking something. Wish I could figure this out but I can't. Just these crazy theories but they lead me to dead ends...

IDK, everything seems possible to me now. Really everything.

On a sidenote; is there an IRC channel to talk about this arg or something like that? lol

 		remember the picture of mr notes? someone suggested that there's a word hidden in the picture, which could form another .html page with another painting (like the seal.html), but never really got followed up. i still think there could be something there. it seems like that's the only think that's really been 'overlooked'

 		What if there was something in all the sketches he sent out? Maybe letters hidden in each one or something?

I believe you're right, going through this right now. I don't know, the 'heed my notes' thing - it makes me think, it seems like we're missing something big.

I had a look back at the notes that I've gotten so far. They're strange. There doesn't seem to be any rhythm or constant to them except for those stupid hash marks. The supposed 'ring code' and all this stuff about the sons of grace.


This caught my attention while looking through the last post. Seems like a dead-end, but I thought I'd give it a try... So I decided I'm going through all the posts and clues sent to people today, see if I can try and get anything.

The Mr. Notes drawing, I really wish anyone could make something of it.

Another seems-like-just-a-waste-of-time: I don't know if anyone else noticed it because I only did it now. In his last painting (the unnamed one that is still not ready), on the top, there's some strong blue highlights and it's actually different from the rest of the painting. I can't figure out what exactly it could be though - after all it may just be the painting and stuff.

I think too much.

 		I feel like I can forgive Tom for leaving us in the dark for so long. It makes me feel like we were not actually overlooking something, he was just too busy... Or he will give us another clue so we can look back on stuff on the next post.

Kay: As for the ring code, the ~obvious~ conclusion is that they were at the end of a ritual. That's all I have, if anyone can find another clue on the post...


Also I am obsessing over this and posting a lot on this thread.
