I think we'll be seeing another player enter the game soon.
Keep your eyes peeled.


I just got an email from a Scorpio Wulf:

Yeah, scribe is right. 11pm regardless of time zone. But, could we have someone in the USA test this? Roll your clock forward to 11th August 1pm and see if it reads 10h.


Ok, I tried it, and it said 9h 59m 59sec.. so, yep, 10h.

It seems tipsila was correct... Eric has government ties, but let them go before he got married:

Quote:
Eric: yeah - forensic film (I opted out for film school) - then government training of sorts.
I was being primed and covered up for years wih funny stuff
*with
me: Funny stuff?
Government training sounds interesting. Yet it's not what you do now?
Eric: I got bored with science



Also, Cygnus is the swan... We've seen things like this before with libra. Can anyone work out the ties to the previous star reference?

 		I found this connection with Cygnus and magpies to be interesting.


In Chinese mythology, the constellation Cygnus is the site of the once-a-year magpie bridge (Que Qiao) which connects the lovers Niu Lang and Zhi Nu (see Qi Xi).

Qi Xi

Quote:
A young cowherd named Niulang ("the cowherd", the star Altair) happens across seven fairy sisters bathing in a lake. Encouraged by his mischievous companion the ox, he steals their clothes and waits to see what will happen. The fairy sisters elect the youngest and most beautiful sister Zhinü ("the weaver girl", the star Vega) to retrieve their clothing. She does so, but since Niulang has seen her naked, she must agree to his request for marriage. She proves to be a wonderful wife, and Niulang a good husband, and they are very happy together. But the Goddess of Heaven (in some versions Zhinü's mother) finds out that a mere mortal has married one of the fairy girls and is furious. (In another version, the Goddess forced the weaver fairy back to her former duty of weaving colorful clouds in the sky because she could not do her job while married to the mortal.) Taking out her hairpin, the Goddess scratches a wide river in the sky to separate the two lovers forever (thus forming the Milky Way, which separates Altair and Vega).

Zhinü must sit forever on one side of the river, sadly weaving on her loom, while Niulang watches her from afar and takes care of their two children (his flanking stars β and γ Aquilae).

But once a year all the magpies in the world take pity on them and fly up into heaven to form a bridge ("the bridge of magpies", Que Qiao) over the star Deneb in the Cygnus constellation so the lovers may be together for a single night, the seventh night of the seventh moon.


The seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the lunisolar calendar this year is 19 August. In 2005, it was 11 August.

 		Wiki
i found some info at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygnus_(constellation)

now its links to the Veil Nebula, also known as the Cygnus Loop or the Witch's Broom Nebula,

Now if my info is correct, isn't Ravens Related to Witches in some way?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygnus_Loop

Also this might just be a guess, but
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deneb
seems like ive heard that some where else, and i think it matches Cyg-X1

 		Is it just me, or have none of the numbers we've come across so far contained the number 9? 42-1-18-76, the numbers embedded in the code, the numbers in the Javascript... all are between 0 and 8? From previous experience with codes, I find this odd to say the least.

In fact, 0 can also be used just for padding, as in the javascript. That would give us a "character set" of 1-8, or some kind of octal encoding system. I;m sure there are plenty more of these around than 0-8, or base 9 systems.

So.. what fits such a code? One thing that springs immediately to mind is musical notes (7 notes, A-G, not including sharps). 118 = AAG? Maybe we're looking at a tune here?

Good spot, JRWR. You'd have to check more carefully, but those colours might be the text we found in the image earlier - see this old post. Haven't checked if the colours appeared in the old image though.

Also, could the "beww" on highfivegame.com be a reference to "webb" (kind of spelt backwards, but not quite). We've seen references to Morgan Webb before (such as Ailis, her middle name).

 		I'm still staying away from linking it to other ARGs.
There's too many "not quite" references. beww is a slight stretch of the imagination away from webb, just as Aulus is a long way from Ailis.

Ailis (rather than Aulus, but interesting similarity...) has definitely popped up before here: see previous posts, plus we have Eric posting to Morgan Webb's myspace page (see here).

Plus I can't think how else "beww" would fit in Wink
