8 cards or 7?

[RPGgame]

i would go for missing two cards

[JWin]

I don't know ... Tony Viet showed up at the poker tables to give us the Sarah hint (much like the hint we were given last week when we missed a card); and the clue at the live event told us we'd need the dates to reveal the FIRST card. I think we're missing one ... probably from '29.

PF. Strauss is a definite possibility. So is the blonde alibi. And I think it's pretty odd we haven't found Seamus (who I assume is the same as O'Kelly).

[MageSteff]

Since Sarah was found only from the Saturday Update and Tony showing up in a game after dying during an update...
We have found

1 new 2005 card
7 new 1929 cards

Total 8 cards. We (meaning you all, not me) will probably find additional onces on Wednesday October 26 update. Since Seamus was mentioned in the WWII updates, I would hope to see a card for him.

If M Halder has a card it isn't from trying a variety of name combinations. If the comic book artist becomes important in the 2005 timeline I'm hopeful we will get more clues.

Why Eight, You Ask?

After a whole bunch of googling, I'm repeatedly led to this guy, Carl Ben Eielson as the subject of a massive search and rescue op around Alaska and Siberia in '29:

No, his name is not a card.

I could have sworn the radio broadcast in DC said Atlantic and not Pacific, but who knows. I can't find any reference to a '29 lost pilot crossing the atlantic.

But hey, I'm learning history!

[aliendial]

Same here - no one in 1929. And I'm sure it was Atlantic and that the search was in Newfoundland. But even opening things up to circumpolar flights and other oddit "firsts" still gets me nothing for 1929.

correct me if i'm wrong, other than the aviator, we're looking for Seamus O'Kelly and P.F. Strauss, right?

you mean Jack McGurn's wife?

In real life the Blonde Alibi he married was Louise Rolfe:

No card.

[yanka]

No, I think I meant Mickey. He is the one that killed Pete's Uncle: "he met that kid's uncle last February, when he was shooting holes in him with a machine gun" (from here).

But you're right, in the audio file they say that Jack McGurn set up Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, so the blonde alibi must be his wife, not Mickey's.

Thanks for pointing that out

[RPGgame]

wait i never thought of that it is Mickeys wife they refer to so we need to explore who Mickeys wifes name was.

[CoffeeJedi]

looking at Machine Gun McGurn's mail, there's a letter from P. F. Strauss. the F is rounded though, almost like someone was writing a 'P' and the pen gave out. googling for "Strauss" in connection with gangsters led me to Harry "Pittsburgh Phil" Strauss who could be P. P. Strauss. i've tried a thousand variations on his name in the search bar but haven't come up with anything yet
