Yey!

ETA:
I've been trying to find out what place the map is showing. It looks like a city and from what PW and Cats said, it will be after the time of Christ and John. I cannot locate any old maps of the Island of Patmos (where John was exiled) to see if there is a match.

And, hopefully to prevent red-herrings:

Nova mentions that if they are unable to stop the assassination, the events mentioned by John will come to pass (I wish that they would do a little better research on the topic) presumably the events described in the Apocalypse of John (AKA the Revelation of John).

The Apocalypse (Note that apocalypse means something close to "revelation" rather than the popular (but erroneous) use of the word to mean the end of the world). It is first and foremost John warning the heads of the 7 Churches in the nearby area as he is instructed to do in vision. He then goes on to describe the events of the last days.
The number 7 is a recurring theme (7 angels, 7 trumpets, 7 seals, etc). Also, the number 666 (made famous by the omen). I remember someone already pointed out that if you turn this up-side-down, you get 999. The scripture states that for those who are wise, the number of the beast stands for a name. I note that there is nothing about the number 7 in the pantheonica.

Other prominent numbers (in terms of people) in the Book:
144000, 24, 12, 4, 3, 1.

The Numbers mentioned in the Pantheonica:
5, 9, 3, 1

The Book of Revelation is riddled with symbolism and imagery and considered by some to be the ultimate, Divine ARG Wink

I don't think it will have any further clues at this stage.

They sure acted like it was no big deal though. Or maybe they didn't notice. Or maybe it happens to them all the time. Or maybe their memory was wiped. Or maybe they were just all trying to act real cool and impress the others.

 		Nova previously mentioned that the House changes from time to time; I guess they are used to it by now

 		kinda wierd how it happens though

kind of coincidental that as soon as they're being searched for by a chick with telepathic search abilities, they get a house that can't be found easily by those means...

just feels a little...

planned

 		I've just been to check all the websites...
I even sent a message to historianova again (and received the same autoreply again).
Nothing new
Dunno


I think I can summarise my sentiments with the following:

Late May early June we sent stuff to her & got no replies. Then 16 days passed by with still nothing from her. Then myself & a few others sent her messages around June 26th basically telling her about PW & asking her to please answer or update the blog so we all know shes OK. Then on June 29 she answered our pleas by posting "Im okay" & "I'll be in touch very soon."

Ummmm at this point I thoroughly agree with what Trillian stated on the previous page:

 		Sorry for the double. Ep 16 "Maybe you haven't met me yet, chronologically speaking" was uploaded a while ago.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Xavier's teeth came from somewhere...He was part of the Anios Corp group (likely as a recruit like the others). They question is who put the symbols in his teeth. I suspect the symbols are well known to Lucian & Co.

 		I think that is still unclear. I assume that Lucian would know more than the ennead. Nova's group is mostly amnestic, so it is possible that they knew also. However, for some reason Nova did not know, which points away from this possibility.

But don't forget, PW was not the only one to know something about the symbols, remember how they got to PW in the first place? also, the symbol keeps coming up in different places. PW was clearly not the only one who knew about it.

As to how much others know and who they are, it is unclear.

 		 Dead and Buried?
Michael's Doomed...
This post is just to say that with just under 6 weeks to go on the films/arg, the chances of saving Michael are very low.

The ARG part of the game has been dead since around late May and ever since, we have mainly been commenting on how Lisa does not reply. The thread has turned into an episode discussion board. Don't get me wrong, I think that the Series is fantastic, but I think that the game is finished. (unless we're getting a resurgence toward the end?)

**Daeld hopes....**

BTW, Episode 17 is not due out until tomorrow because one of the external hard-drives had a problem in the "heat wave" that Vancouver has had (apparently a the highest on record @ 38 degrees C) Rolling Eyes

Two questions:
1) Why is this too hot for the machines? (I used to live in a place where it is expected that every summer we would get at least one week when all the days would be above 45 C) - No one ever had problems, despite hardly anyone having air conditioning appropriate to the weather.

2) I assume that they would have had a back-up! If not how would they have the episode ready for tomorrow instead?

(Am I being too critical?) Embarassed

LOL! I'd say you are too critical regarding the delay with this week's episode. After all hardware does crash from time to time, even with moderate temperatures; and depending on what kind of crash it is, it may take 24h to repair it and to restore the data from the back-up.

I don't think it's finished yet, after all there are still the 'Help Lisa' messages at the end of every episode. I expect at least one final post or video from Lisa in which she'll tell us that ...
a) ...the private investigator has solved the puzzle and brought Michael back;
or
b) ... Jared Clinton found evidence that the trail leads to South America and Lisa & Jared will go there to further investigate it;
or
c) ... during his long absence she finally realized that Michael isn't the right guy for her and she now has to move on and find out who she really is. Twisted Evil
