 		"When in Rome, do what the Romans do."

Perhaps an allusion to the next project for Socrates?

I guess e-mailing the protectorate would be the next step.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the first block of text rots to:

According to Aristotle, rhetoric is "the ability, in each particular case, to see the available means of persuasion." He described three main forms of rhetoric: XXXXX.htm, XXXXX.htm, and XXXXXX.htm.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Ethos, Pathos and Logos, three new websites
http://scindo.memoria.googlepages.com/pathos.htm, etc.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Check the cards, the aces are obviously the numbers we should pay attention to, giving us.
http://admingooglepagescomusernamecheckhta
Might be supposed to be HTM, looks like a typo of some sort, the cards get weird at the end of the last line in logos.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

This is what is leftover by line, but I think the last grouping is off somehow, might want to check it over again. I'm pretty sure this is the next part of the clue.

 		Ok, I've worked it out from the info Mr.Kint received.

The URL should be:-

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://admin.protectorate.googlepages.com/usernamecheck.htm


from there, you enter the username and password we received earlier. Which leads to the following page:-

http://admin.protectorate.googlepages.com/4508.htm


It would appear we have to make a "recruitment drop"...

I've only just taken an active interest in this game and don't want to go making posts/drops/whatever that might influence any characters one way or the other until I'm up to speed on everything that's happened so far.

 		So.....

was this entire thing just a "recruitment drop" on Scindo's part, to gather us all together?

Because when is the last time we've heard about Jessica, or from John?

 		this reminds me eerily of Neurocam.... *shiver*
I've got a book I'm returning to the library today, The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, I'm going to print that letter out and put it in the book as my recruitment drop, and snap a few pics of it. I'll post results when done! Cool

 		Just started getting into / catching up on this a few days ago... There's a blog entry up from Jack (posted April 15th) about LITHER with a photo; surprised no one's jumped on solving this yet. If I have time later, I'll look into it more.

 		Good catch! On the picture is written in small text:
Quote:
he is the reason
the bible paved the way"

I would assume this is referring to Gutenberg given the printing press in the image.

 		Good job! Didn't have enough time before work to dig any deeper before posting. Shoulda known! Wink
Anyway, adjust the brown image and get the attached.

 		The protectorate then, they must be who the picture is reffering to, has anyone else came up with a recruiting drop for The Protectorates latest challenge?

 		Coming in late on this one, hope to keep following it.

Only thing I've noticed and this doesn't appear to have any relevance right now but might in the future, is that OMNIS is an anagram for MINOS. In Greek mythology, King Minos built the Labyrinth.

 		Funnily, I just checked up on this about thirty minutes ago, found out that everything on the blog had been deleted, save for the title of the blog - "xx0($*27_2842(3" - and it's description - "9_489jmdkƒjuhfa£Aghjkas(8@"

I thought it was dead. But moments ago, I received a new e-mail from Scindo:

Quote:
another is lost

but even amongst loss, there is gain.

http://priusmemoria.blogspot.com/


Blog had been updated, obviously, and now contains information that Jessica Sinclair is deceased, with some tidbits about Ergocorp having the audio logs, EKG and neural logs available.

Did anyone ever make a recruitment drop?

 		Nice catch. Looks like a hidden link on the page. Takes you here:

 		Wow, I completely did not catch that. I can't watch the video right now though, sadly, because everyone is asleep. I'm so sad to see this over! The only reason I didn't participate more is because I was pressed for time most of the past month.

I really think that this was an incredible job for a first attempt grassroots ARG. I really enjoyed the beginning parts of it, before I had to leave it due to time constraints. It only really fell apart during the last bit of it, from what I could see, wherein there wasn't much for people to go on.

Definitely sending an e-mail. Thank you, Albany! I would actually like to see more from you. Smile
