 		Then perhaps we should look in that direction...those here that are better with pictures than I can perhaps tell us more.

 		Coming from a not-so-picture savvy person, the images with the text look to be geographical. The second image looks like India and the third to be part of Europe and a strip of Northern Africa. Not sure about the first image, though.

 		New email:

Subject: Worthiness

All below were worthy:
Richard Ithamar Aaron, Donald Ferlys Wilson Baden-Powell, Marius Barbeau, Sir Geoffrey Bindman, Norman Cameron, Edmund Fellowes, Robert Alfred Cloynes Godwin-Austen, Richard Hughes, Sir Francis Kynaston, Eugene Lee-Hamilton, J. L. Mackie, Philip Napier Miles, Edward Thomas Monro, Henry Monro, Thomas Monro, Thomas Mozley, John Nunn, Hugh Edwin Strickland, Alexander Todd, Joseph Warton, David Wright
They all passed immortality almost every day as they sought their disciplines - yet found immortality in other places. If only they, like Anthony Collett, looked closer at things...

Follow the trail: a picture paints much...

The Watchman


I've got some nice breaks between classes today, so I'll start looking into the names...

EDIT
Found it:

All of them are scientists, poets, musicians, and philosophers, but...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
All of them studied at Oriel College, in Oxford. That is also where the plate resides that contains the quote on the hidden image.


There's obviously more to it than that, but it's a start.

 		The asshat responded to me:

Quote:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/conscience

'What he deserved' ... do you deserve? 'I serve' or 'I deserve' - always a person's choice...

Did you HAVE to decide? No. You chose to be where you are, and what you do. You ask for help - we provide it. We do not empathise - why should we. We have no emotion, only necessity.

Share these words with others less concerned with philosophies and more with saving life - time is not on your side for too long, as the numbers we gave you should tell you...

The Watchman.

 		The numbers they gave...so the 23 09 09 04? I've been trying to figure out what to do with those and haven't gotten anywhere yet Confused

Edit: Also, I thought I'd share an OOG comment the PM made to me once:

Quote:
[oog - the watchman's a git in terms of tone and address - the pm is glad you're enjoying and replying - don't get the two confused ok?!!! Wink]

 		I know you are, but what you said still describes The Watchman fairly accurately Wink

As for the bit that I shared from the PM...I thought it was appropriate and I love his tone! Smile

 		Without a doubt. The PM loves these kinds of connections.

I keep forgetting the PM is a Brit. 23/09 is the 23 of September. So the other would be April 4?

 		I think you're right about the date, ddl. According to a website (which I can't link right now since I'm on my phone), the Autumnal Equinox is on September 23 at 9:04 am.

 		Ah...ddl, it was "23 09" and "09 04", so by that logic, it would be April 9th, not 4th Wink Suffice it to say that I think it could be a time, so perhaps September 23rd at 9:04 am/pm?

Edit: There we go...I guess now we have our time limit. Thanks, Lystella Smile

I also have part of an email to share with you all...this came at the end of a response I got a couple hours ago. I would have shared it sooner, but I couldn't while I was in class and away from my computer:

Quote:
The stars have not yet thrown their spears to one another yet we note - for one would mention it at least in passing...
Yet you move to the next and the next and the next - rather than seeing the whole. Like one country leading to another...

The Watchman, in custody of Forest... for now.

 		Another email! Definitely a response to something I said, but here you go:

Quote:
ACCORDING to one mode of regarding those two classes of mental action which are called Reason and Imagination, the former may be considered as mind contemplating the relations borne by one thought to another, however produced; and the latter as mind, acting upon those thoughts so as to colour them with its own light, and composing from them as from elements, other thoughts, each containing within itself the principle of its own integrity. The one is the to poiein, or the principle of synthesis and has for its objects those forms which are common to universal nature and existence itself; the other is the to logizein or principle of analysis and its action regards the relations of things, simply as relations; considering thoughts, not in their integral unity but as the algebraical representations which conduct to certain general results. Reason is the enumeration of quantities already known; Imagination is the perception of the value of those quantities, both seperately and as a whole. Reason respects the differences, and Imagination the similitudes of things. Reason is to Imagination as the instrument to the agent, as the body to the spirit, as the shadow to the substance.

Poets rise from the natural world - their imagination rose from the Green...

The Watchman


Certain letters were colored. The green spelled out:

Quote:
dot to dot spear to star similar to a mystic rose


The red:

Quote:
seek stars from stars


I feel like it's so close, but I can't quite figure it out Sad
