I thought of the five affairs as maybe the $5 he's asking for?


hmm, possible, but i doubt it - so far, it hasn't been required; now seems a bad time to ask for it. i think we should keep looking for three letters.

 		Just had a check up on the guy that registered the site - he's just got married which would explain the joyous picture and might also explain the reason he is looking for $5 donations

 		edit: i see! well, that makes me feel better about the fiver, anyway. i'd rather send it to a poor sap who needs new curtains than a scammer with tricks up his sleeve, lol.

anyway, to avoid getting derailed, i found another letter -

 		meh.
I don't want to spoil it.
The answer to the brickwall is found by summing up all the extraneous bits,pieces and characters from the various pages.

 		OK - Through the brickWall, but now the question is what to do about the swords, the maces and the eight of hearts.

Also,

is it my imagination or has the kingof suits page changed with reference in the title to the shifty eyed hand and the omission of the avid clue?

3 of spades (swords) - 2 of hearts (cups) - 5 of clubs (maces) - 5 of something else???? - 8 of hearts (from I001.html)

 		Got an IM out of the blue regarding
http://www.misstheground.com/6mos/matrix.html
I was misinterpreting one of the kloos, but drizjr in chat got it and showed me my error.
Anyway, it's:

Loc-Mute-2 Arms
Lok-Dancer-2 Tails
Lock-Killer-No Meat
Loch-Writer-Blind to Green
Lawk-Caring-Fear of Snakes

The message on the next page is;
Well done. Your reward is a stunning nine of clubs.

 		okay some collected info
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

there are 5 erroneous, extraneous letters around the links.
a, l, i, c, e
which spells alice
put this into the brickwall page, www.misstheground.com/6mos/brickWall.html
you get redirected to the kingofsuits page
www.misstheground.com/6mos/kingofsuits.html
there you get 5 clues, and most likely each one leads to a card, and the flash thing wants you to put those cards in some specific order/pattern
the first one refers to 3 japanese swords/knives, which most likely represent 3 of spades.
the next represent joyous.html which leads to a flash image of a wedding
right clicking and play/forward will not work now, but it used to lead to 7 of diamonds.
and someone else mentioned diva.html, which shows a flash riddle. the answer is zappa.
now that i that i think of it, the diva.html is irrelevent
anyways
aimrtx anagrams matrix so matrix.html holds a very puzzling riddle which
rogi ocnorb handled very well "9 of clubs"
and the last line "gone fishin'". click the apostrophe, which leads you to I001.html which is very similar to 1001.html, but there is a comment at the source that anagrams to "eight of hearts"
all we need now is the line
"A man who called himself avid stared into the mirror and something effeminate stared back. " which is the hardest

good lucks!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The avid clue actually leads to diva.html (reverse of avid) and the zappa answer gives you 5 and 5 maces which I take to be 5 Clubs (but not convinced).


I'm also curious about the wedding .swf which now tells me that Fast Forward is for Cheaters .... any other thoughts on this?

I'm having second thoughts about the
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
3 of spades - because His eyes betray already uses the 3 of spades. - does this lead to any other html page?


I get the feeling that we are working on this while the creator is changing pages - ARMTIX is new to me!

 		One of Frank Zappa's daughters is named Diva Muffin Zappa
Diva being the reflection of "avid" from the clue.
Siblings are:
Moon Unit
Dweezil
Ahmet

Also. Did you try finding a page for the knives/swords clue. maybe something like "blades".
Looks like a bunch 'o movie quotes.
