[16:14] Carbonel Tigereye: Hi Delian
[16:14] Carbonel Tigereye: How did you find out about the nines?
[16:14] You: uf
[16:14] Carbonel Tigereye: great
[16:14] Carbonel Tigereye: keep an eye on gabriel's blog
[16:15] Carbonel Tigereye: and return to visit from time to time, as there will be new things to see in this build.
[16:15] You: Alright, thanks.
[16:15] Carbonel Tigereye waves

 		Ok so I have Second Life again...I keep forgetting my names.

I'm Chloe Ribeni so say hi if you see me there.

Found the portal...finally. I thought it might have been on Gabriel's blog or something and whomever found the SL part didn't want to share the blog part.

 		To avoid further confusion
Portal coordinates are located in the trailer you can view after solving Puzzle 2.

Ah I was wondering how everyone found it...

BTW I just tried to get the Nines place on SL and I can't teleport there because it doesn't exist.
I'm lost on the answer...same with the first one.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Any hint as to the answer? I looked up the words pronoia and paranoia (nine letters btw).

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Search: "Apopheniapronoia" on YouTube



this game seems more like a "follow the breadcrumbs" type thing.. not exactly a "team" ARG.. if it ever comes to reveal itself as a team game, id be more than happy to reveal what i have found.

I dont mean to be selfish, but this is the first ARG ive participated in so far that I can do solo..

trust me, theres nothing in Gabriels Blog that you dont already know..

Hint to find Gabriels Blog:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's not on any conventional blog sites (i.e. Blogspot, Weebly, LiveJournal, etc) ...its a separate site created solely for Gabriels Blog. Cmon guys think about how you can find a site youre looking for..

Smooth gave the answer, but I'll provide the means, too, just so it makes sense.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The first puzzle required you to find every ninth word to get the letters used in the anagram. The same trick works on puzzle number two. Every ninth word nets: you, tube, apophenia, pronoia.

YouTube is the site you need to visit. Apophenia pronoia are the words you need to search for

 		Am looking up connections to the number nine.... as they may help later on.

There's actually a Mensa-like society called the Triple Nine Society. All their members are in the 98th percentile on standardized IQ tests, which means their IQ is 146 or greater. They also accept people at 99.9. Love their logo...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_Nine_Society



"In classical music the curse of the ninth refers to the superstition that a composer who writes a ninth symphony will die soon. Beethoven, who left his Tenth Symphony unfinished, is regarded by the superstition as the first victim of the curse."


"The Beatles released a song called "Revolution 9" which appears on The White Album (more properly known as The Beatles); its principal vocal feature is a voice repeating, "Number nine...number nine...number nine..." John Lennon, the primary composer of "Revolution 9", also released a solo recording entitled "#9 Dream". The Beatles also released a song called "One After 909" in 1970, although it was recorded in 1969, and Lennon and McCartney had worked on it since the very early days. Lennon is known to have felt a connection with the number 9. Both he and his son, Sean were born on October 9th. Also, John died on the 9th (UK Time). Ironically, of all the Beatles' singles that made the U.S. Top 10 in Billboard, all peak positions were covered except #9"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9_%28number%29

So conspiracy or people going all Number 23 on Nines....

Oh and The Nines is on wikipedia now...
~~~~
I'm going all name origins on the characters...

Gabriel is an angel that shows up at the End of Days/Apocalypse....I'm wondering if there's a connection to the Nines in some way other than one of the stories being about a character named that.
