Rex0s: the interesting thing about this game is that it never really "dies down." It just simmers for a bit, while the speculation and sleuthing runs rampant among us until the next development.

MountainGirl: have you read the book you received? Has anyone else read it? What details can you give us about the book?

And simmering is exactly what's going on. This weekend a lot of new things happend, like Toby, myself, and others getting their scribe pages, Duckie getting his map.

I have a feeling the next change will either come at the full moon, or when the moon changes from waxing crescent, to first quarter.

ooo sounds like fun. i hope i get a task. from as far as i've found the three stars may represent the holy trinity.

note: if anyone receives email from islington or has an interestin conversation with orkid please make a contact thread i would have but had nothing new to post also if any scribe pages change or any new books are discovered please post in the new threads the size of this one is rather intimidating

edit: strange use of obliged i thought it was incorrect at first but it means beholden as well so the usage is correct.

O.k. going off on one of my usual Googling Tangents, so bear with me.

I threw "The Perfect Future is a Long walk Home" into google and the number one result was this link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000647KC/104-7463383-7975912?v=glance

The first thing I thought was "Rabit Proof Fence?" As in the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland.

Then I read down to the song list on the CD:

Okay,this is odd. I started this a few days ago (Friday afternoon). On Monday, at 4:35 in the morning (I'm a night owl)I have recieved a call on my cell phone (a number known only by a grand total of five people,including yours truly.) Supposedly from this Islington person. I wrote down immediately what he said,as it was fresh in my mind. "That book, you know it, you're close, but can you cross the bridge, even if you found it?" I say supposedly,because whoever it was didn't leave me a name, I was kind of in a state of shock to think about trying to *69 or something. But, anyways, how is that even possible? This is seriously freaking me out. Not only that, but the same day, at school, I found a note in my locker that just had the word "Book" written all over it, front and back, in red and green ink, alternating red green green red red green red green green.." (etc) Has anything else happened to anyone else this freaky? Seriously,is this just a game, or am I getting caught up in something?

Well that would be very different than the kind of interaction most of us get here. The only people who've actually met Islington or had a conversation with him not through email have been Orkid and Toby, I believe.

Certainly. I'll scan it tommorow using the schools scanner. I'm out of school today because of some crazy jewish holiday,lol. But has anyone else had something happen to them like this?

Also you might want to scan through your textbooks for anything new and unusual.

Just a thought. Very Happy

Trust me, midnight tonight(I go to sleep at three in the afternoon,wake up around 10) is when I do a thorough search of my room and my backpack. And of course,I'll be looking for any more notes in my locker come tommorow. I'll letcha all know if anything new turns up. I'll also look thruogh all the books I have in my mini-library; I know all the books there,and I'm certainly close to them...but I'm not certain what the bridge thing means. I've always been deathly afraid of crossing bridges, which is pretty odd how whoever the mysterious caller is would know.

Shane, I know how time consuming and scary the prospect was when I first started posting here a few days ago, but you really should read through (or at least skim) the first 43 pages(!), so that you are caught up. We've done a lot of work (Look at me saying we, I meant MG, Shylilembrace, Duck13, Rogi, Incog Neato) and it helps to know what was already found. Though your continued efforts and thoughts are always appreciated. Very Happy
