I am now wondering if the open box photo goes with the elements. It is the same box the sword and key are on. Makes me think the sword is the key to opening the box? I am still trying to figure out the blanks, though. I am stuck.

Awesome Amandel, I sent that in too.
Hope we are right, as nothing else makes much sense.

As for the other part of the challenge..... I am not sure but maybe we are supposed to send in our own 'elements'? I don't have any fancy swords or letter openers though, I wonder if a kitchen knife would do. Razz

Wowzers! When it rains....it pours clues. This image just arrived from Winter Sylvana with no message except "see attached". Shocked

Awesome work team! Here is what grabs my attention in the letter:

There are 2 dashes in the upper left.
The phrases "did that come across" and "not let me down" remind me of crossword clues.

Duh, I bet that is what they did for fun on Sunday mornings. I emailed as such.

Ditto on the fine team work! The letter Jpeg is on the Cardkeepers blog now. File is larger yet am not seeing anything hidden etc.

I leave for a few days and the whole world explodes...

Well, great job everyone who worked on this! I only wish I could have been more help. Worshippy

Now reading over your posts, was the "be faithful to [...]" solution part of the SELF evident challange or the fill-in-the-blank? I know you guys interacted with the fill-in-the-blank but I wasn't sure precisley what happened with the other challenge. Maybe I missed it.

I'll look over the old posts.

This ARG is a joy so far. Wink

I wonder what will happen next.

I think the elements are for the SELF evident challenge. Whatever that might be?

Any thoughts on dCd either?

Don't worry about the SELF evident challenge. I figured out that this is another opportunity to send in a card. Winter Sylvana told me to wait for a clue later today on how and when I needed to turn in my card.

I am perfectly okay with us choosing someone else's card if that makes more sense.

I am just happy to figure something out! Yay!!! I am not useless!

I am probably supposed to keep that to myself but I felt deceitful not saying anything.

Edit: Oh right and based on teh_lisa's crossword puzzle e-mail, I am thinking the clue might come in the form of a crossword puzzle. I only think this because she used the word "evident" again. It was probably intentional. I could be wrong, of course, about the form of the clue.
