 		It's funny we all kind of came to the same conclusion of using a monks name as the login and re-using the chapter title as a password. I played around with it last night but didn't take any notes so I'll have to start over. The most likely monk would be Kitlar Muan because his blog is the only one that has ads. The only problem is that we can't really save anyone that has already become a monk. The only people we know that aren't monks are Ty and Avery (I think, I need to read the excerpt again because there may be someone else mentioned in it).

I hope we don't need to have the book in order to solve this part. I've ordered the book, but the earliest it will ship is the 25th.

For the password, In the end pride is all negative space, we've really only used "in the end", the whole sentence won't fit in the password field, so I've been trying to use different pieces of the phrase for the password.

 		heres some more to think about
we know:
"home. its where the heart is"
we need to save someone (maybe avery cates)
the login to "the end is near friend" page is most likely a monk
(ive tried: nmuller, kmuan, bdawson, & dsqualor)
Ty said we would need the first password again.
the phonetic letters from the youtube videos.
the tags from the youtube videos

also waitress, you mentioned other people, what about the other names from the nothingtoseehere page. kev gatz i think was one...and another name was there that we havnt used yet...

 		two things:

has there always been a lit up "19" in the upper right hand corner of the second avery cates photo?
http://the-electric-church.com/data/nothing/tosee/here/cates_file_photo_13443.jpg

the "whereissqualor" gif from the abbey of the dead monks page looked odd to me, so I did a GIS for westminster abbey. ive even tried seaching with the word "aerial" added. no luck.

so I logged onto Google earth, and looked at the westminster abbey through that. bingo, a match. there are a ton of links attached to the abbey itself throught Google earth, which im sifting through now.

When I click on that link, I get 'directory has no index file.'

 		Yes it seems to be a bad link, but the image is posted on page 4 of this thread and the 19 is in the image, so it hasn't been changed.

 		I don't see it. Can someone show me which picture and where this 19 is?

EDIT: if you are talking about that 2nd murder scene on page 4, I do see the 19 now. Is that a clock or something?

I thought clock at first too, but its lacking the : and any indication of what "19" actually is (hours or minutes).

 		The codex transcription page 17
Hi! I'm new...started reading posts yesterday and am so wowed by the brains involved with this game! You are all so quick!!! Thanks for spelling out the work you've already done! You really help noobs like me get caught up!

I've transcribed pages 17 and 18 of the codex (see below). A couple things occur to me:
1: Chapter One of Somer's book mentions that you can't digitize a brain because the thought processes become corrupt. Could that be what's happening in the codex? Would that explain the degradation of Squalor's language? Maybe he was the first victim of his own, imperfect, beginning techniques.

2:The names Kendish and Marin (mentioned in this section of the codex) are familiar to me but I can't find where I've read them Maybe I'm hallucinating?


3: He refers to Long Googly:"Long googly explained by they were ?? of an electric church kept his rooms". Could he be referring to Gatz? Google Eyes was one of the known aliases of Gatz...

4: Could the reference to 'people' actually be a reference to a guy with the last name People or Peoples?



Page 17:

 		wow that didn't make no kind of sense

which is the point, i suppose

anyway, we've drifted... i'm sure the codex will be very important, but in the mean time, we still can't get passed our current position

let's re-brainstorm!!!

ty hasn't responded to me in some time, so i guess he's not going to anymore

maybe someone else will have more luck?

 		Ty hasn't responded to me either, but then I had asked if we had found all of the blogs. Smile

I was notified by Amazon.com today that I should receive my copy of the book between Tuesday and Thursday of next week. Very Happy For anybody that hasn't checked out Jeff's blog, there are drawings for a free copy at the following links.

http://fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com/2007/09/giveaway-win-orbit-us-prize-pack.html

http://fantasyhotlist.blogspot.com/2007/09/win-signed-copy-of-jeff-somers-electric.html

I'm hoping the book may give me some idea what step to take next. Does anybody have any ideas what _root might mean?

 		Somers just confirmed on his blog that they aren't done building the game yet, which likely explains the halt in progress, much like last time.

Bad PM form or intelligent marketing strategy?

 		Marin
HERE'S Marin. http://the-electric-church.com/data/nothing/tosee/here/audio_record2.jpg

These transcripts and dossiers came from his office.

I know this isn't directly getting us through the next login, but maybe more information about the larger story will help us find the passcode?
