 		And the map was relevant how, you ask?

Well:

"Find the numbers" --> Plot the zipcodes on the map.

"Find the symbol" --> Observe the pretty symbol they make.

"Find the key" --> Again, the "E" is the key. If you look here, you'll notice that the circle with a dot in it is one of the symbols for E. The "E"s were in all the blank spaces in the message.

 		Apparently Onixskull liked our answer because "The Gathering" has been updated to show his skull in the image.

Also, "Chapter I" on freewebs has been updated to confirm our correct solve of the map.

EDIT: and ends with this message:
Quote:
The Gathering has begun. The chosen few have now set in motion what has been foretold. You have proven yourself worthy to move on. The next skull, and the next chosen are on waiting. When the time is right you will know what to do. We now have some faith in humanity, now that you have proven yourselves to one of us.

 		And there's a definite lull in the action, while we wait for the next Skull, so you'll likely have plenty of time to get up to speed.

It's my first ARG, too. It's been really fun so far- I look forward to collaborating with you.

EDIT: All the pictures are gone from OnixSkull's Frappr, and it seems the website and the blog are calm. Anybody seen anything of interest?

 		Nothing yet. I emailed Missy in case she missys the comment in the blog (puntastic!).

I wonder if the PM has everything ready for the whole game, or if they are doing it as they go along. It's been pretty smooth so far, so hopefully it's the first option. I'm praying to the Mayan gods that this goes the distance... Worshippy....

sacrifice anyone?

Wow !!!!

I just went to the links you guys posted. This is all pretty crazy. I cant believe you guys figured all that stuff out. I am glad you guys are here, because I wouldn't have had the first clue what all of that stuff was. This is so weird in a kinda cool way.

I am sorry I wasn't on here yesterday. My dad made me go to this stupid holiday party. I really didn't get why they had a holiday party after the holidays. My dad said "it was because the holidays are there busiest time". So what ever, I guess. I wish I could have been involved more, not that I really could have helped you out that much.

So, It looks like the skulls are trying to do some gathering thing, Huh. That's releaving at least they are not trying to kill me. So, I guess we wait for them to do something else.

I still haven't heard anything from them yet. But I am ready to hear from them. I am not scared of them now.

_Missy_

 		In Reference to my post above about the update to http://missyfisher.blogspot.com/

As most of you know I use website watcher to track updates. Well, when the site updated this is what it originally said:
Quote:
That's relieving at least they are not trying to kill me.

Which was quickly changed to:
Quote:
That's releaving at least they are not trying to kill me.

Which, I'm pretty sure, releaving is misspelled and relieving was the correct word in the first place.
I hesitate to mention it, but since there seems to be a misspelling theme I thought it might be important.

Also this is in the source code for this entry. There are others for the previous entries but I'm only going to list this entry for now in case it doesn't mean anything.

Quote:
span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">weird</span>

span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">That's</span>

Which gives That's weird.
I don't know if any of this is important or not but wanted to get it down before I forget it.

Good catch, I've been looking at this stuff in the source code too. Here's my guess: "Missy" has an automatic spell check that she's using as she types. When she mistypes as "wierd" the spell check flags the error, which can then be corrected. For some reason it leaves a trace in the source code. (the code in the 13skull pages is full of similar stuff).

We can compare that to something like:
Quote:
span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">crystalskulls</span> page.


Here, the spellcheck didn't recognize 'crystalskulls' and Missy left it uncorrected.

I can't explain the releaved thing though...
