 		Indeed, it does. I haven't tried to read it yet.

Here is his response from a brief thankyou I sent him.

Quote:
Ah yes, one seeks to answer the capital question.
I know fully the reasons why - should you even attempt to send a golum to the green by the way, either of you, any of you - understand this. You will never have existed. It can be done. The Green is not a toy. Not something to be toyed with. But something that is getting smaller - something which we may, ironically need your help with.
Something we, the council of humans of the Green are discussing with the elders as I type.

Choose to help us and bridges can be made. Choose to leave well alone and life will continue as normal, and this will be just a game, a story written by a man a long time ago. But Jack in the Green understood - nay understands - well the adVances we could make together if the correct bridges are made.

What say you - do not just reply with a brief answer - this email only welcomes those who have proved themselves of mind and spirit.
Hence the older email having closed...

The Watchman, knowing how older names have more power...


The email is different--I just realized this--howardfairisthegreenSPLATgmail.com

I will think on my response...

Food for thought: Jack Vance wrote Green Magic. Research it please. I got to take an exam soon.

 		Been trying to download the word file and the WMV file that got posted earlier ... is anyone else having problems with this? Either I missed something or the WMV file has a length of 1:55 but cuts out after 12 seconds, and there's a password on the word file that I don't seem to know and isn't covered in the recent posts...

 		can you spoil the password, or give a small hint on how you got it? I have been trying, but havent succeeded to find it yet..

Never mind I got it, a good word password recovery tool helped me..

I like the background used on the document Smile its the poem of the echoing green in mirrored..

Some interesting things in the properties of the document:

the subject of the document is 0 or XXI
the company for the document is British Museum - 'O'
Author is Howard Fair

Last modified however gives us a peek behind the curtain:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Paul Giffney - maybe the PM ??



some interesting trivia,

Jack Vance has a novel with a character called the watchman -
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the eyes of the overworld
- which is the second part of the tales of the dying earth..

a fair coincidence, since the watchman tells us that the green is getting smaller

 		a better version of the movie file

Some observations:

* It sounds like the grey noise has morse code in it
* the music line seems to have some "reversed voices"in it (like it is played backwards)
* John Dee appears in the movie, as well as a his church and a green plant of sorts.. anyone know what plant this is?

 		not yet, was online for a little while yesterday.. I am still thinking on how to word my mail to him, need to read the story again to see if i can find some useful hints and things..

have you communicated with him yet?

I must say that I like the reference to the golum in his mail, this is a nice trigger to the mail I sent him that I would like to know more about the green..

I will post the comms on the forum when I speak to him..

 		below the mail I sent to the watchman:

Quote:

Watchman...

A brief answer you will not get, since green is not brief, and cannot be brief.. something so delicate, so precious as the green realm, will not be easily tampered with, yet you claim that that the realm is getting smaller... I keep wondering, how can something with so much power get smaller.. and even more, which of the 4 regions is getting smaller.. is it these 2 that come from the basic skeleton of the universe?? or are all 4 of them getting smaller.. Or is it the cycle.. is it disturbed and coming to an end? enlighten me please

I choose to help, help where my fast knowledge of the white and the black, paired with my little knowledge of the purple would be able to help.. I choose to help to preserve the green, but I will be like Dee, forewarned, so that the green will not bore me once I return to earth after sampling the pure pleasure which is confined in the green..

I am ready to absorb knowledge, I am ready to help you, I am ready to help Jaadian, Misthemar and all others living in the green, I am ready and more than willing to

As for the golum.. you are forbidden to harm lesser beings in any way shape or form, by the council of elders, and where I heed your warning, I would potentially send something smaller, something more delicate to the realm to investigate than such an abomination of a golum. like a green butterfly crafted from a green caterpillar.. to investigate, but since you have offered a potential insight in the realm of the green, and its cycle, I will withhold myself of this investigation.. However, if you dont follow through, my hunger for knowledge will eventually lead me to te green... willingly or unwillingly...

This reply might be brief in words, but it is not brief in thought, and if you can read between the lines you will know this..

Contact me.. I will be able to help..

Draghkar

 		Damn. That was all-encompassing... I was crafting something far less agressive.

 		Lol, nothing wrong with that. It's just, the golum ruined 40 miles of the Green. Perhaps a direct message does the same?
