 		New twitter update here: http://twitter.com/WhiteRabbitYT/status/116978058635919360

I'm not quite sure what this refers to, but the 1AD4AF is a shade of teal.

 		I'm reposting this. I think it is Juniper: http://www.monrovia.com/plant-catalog/plants/1674/prince-of-wales-juniper.php

I already emailed the Watchman.

 		Ok, here's what I've got. The tweet said this:

Quote:
We hide in the open here his salvation. Through the mirror this plant is shown green: 1AD4AF Oppose us for the reddening answers...The Green


When you look up that color, you can see its complimentary, or opposite, color is a shade of red.

I started trying to reverse engineer the answer and looked up "immortality", "plant", and "red" in google, which led me to this plant:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth

It's a healing herb and was associated with immortality in Ancient Greece because it took a very long time to wither. I dug a little deeper and found this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranthus_hypochondriacus

Wikipedia wrote:
Amaranthus hypochondriacus is an ornamental plant commonly known as the Prince-of-Wales-feather or the Prince's feather.

In Africa, like many other species in the family Amaranthaceae, it is valued as source of food.


So, it seems punxtr and I both have an answer...I suppose all we can do now is wait to see if either of us got it...

 		I'm certain you got this one. I actually looked up that color's complementary color, but I couldn't find a good plant for it. Prince's feather seems... dead on. Mine seems slightly off.

Edit--The time of balance sure was uneventful...

 		Yup, but it picked up a bit this morning!

Quote:
Subject: Watch?

and listen...

Friend of Forest, or Howard Fair, or both.

We have resolved the issue with the golem's energy now. One of 'his' friends found what was needed - but not, unfortunately, in enough time* to provide immortality to him.

This is not our concern any more.

What we now ask, or rather, command, is that you delete any communication with the Green - remove us from your computer and personal records and never contact us again.
We do not speak of what Forest's path is - that is for 'him' to explain at a later date should 'he' so desires.

We will not threaten or cajole, promise or scare - we will simply ignore. Humanity is not yet ready for our involvement again.

Perhaps in the future - but not now.

As for what 'I' was - the man known as Howard Fair - he is fully immersed now - this shell of voice is fading, like a gentle rain...

May your path be free from any un-required obstacles.


The Watchman.


It had an image attached, which I've posted below.

I received a second email, which I will post a portion of here:
Quote:
You have found the plant and thus could have saved Forest's life.
However, without his having the time to prepare the requirements for a new ritual, or gather the amaranth, he was limited to what could be done.

None responded to why we should have let him leave our care so we didn't.

We have - however - presented him an option to which he has accepted.

He is - for now - learning from us - he understands his role as caretaker - and thus will be released when he has learned more of his natural energy - that which created him, that which nourished him and that which can help others.


He went on to say that the lottery prize will be passed on to me, so essentially, both F.F.E.Y.-T Venice and Howard Fair are over. I also was asked to pass on this link to everyone, as our PM has opened a meta discussion for us:

Nice job, everyone!

And, the chessboard image comes from the checkmate of the Immortal Game:
