questioning-always questioning
devils advocate

I've finally caught up-I felt like I hurried up just to wait...I can't imagine that we have to wait on one person to get more information - isn't the point to ask questions and find the truth.

in that vein I'm going to introduce a healthy dash of skepticism. How much to we know about Siegfeld (that's probably spelled wrong). He just appeared one day and had been leading us by the nose. He has opened our eyes but would we be doing him any justice if we just sat on our laurels.

There are several options to think about- S is telling the truth; S is fabricating everything; S is really part of the Sect and is just rounding up heretics; or S is gone and someone from the Sect has taken his place.

What are we waiting for?

of course this whole mini-rant is in vain if there truly is nothing more to find until we get the next clue. I just don't want to miss something...something? Anything?

This may be nothing but I was checking out Skye profile and found a couple of interesting things

I googled the message and got:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Synonyms of Dark - Dim implies faintness of light or indistinctness of form (resulting from the lack of light or from imperfect vision): a dim outline. Obscure implies dimness that may arise also from factors that interfere with light or vision(dark) http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dark

Origin:
bef. 1000; (adj.) ME derk, OE deorc; (n. and v.) ME, deriv. of the adj.; cf. MHG terken to darken, hide


That's probably not as interesting as this...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Sunne/lune (sun-moon) Luna being latin for the moon

Partial lunar eclipse will take place on 31st December
December 3, 2009 http://www.physorg.com/news179082228.html


again probably my imagination but I let you puzzle masters have a look.

now post from Skye:
Quote:
Thoughts are fleeting as endless as the stars, but do not lose sight of them. Man will be driven to Justice by his Luneacy. For those on their path, they shall fear you as long as the Sonne and Lune endure, throughout all generations.

now I think that hes trying to tell us something.

Glad you caught up, dancer. Smile

So... Justice is capitalized, and Luneacy is also capitalized, and misspelled. A pun of some sort? Ahaha. Did a bit of google work...

"Men are mad most of their lives; few live sane, fewer die so. The acts of people are baffling unless we realize that their wits are disordered. Man is driven to justice by his lunacy."
--Edward Dahlberg

And, hey, that last sentence reminds me of a Bible verse...

"They shall fear You
As long as the sun and moon endure,
Throughout all generations." - Psalm 72:5

more from me
two horns straight forward despite what reality says

I'm still on the sun moon kick (probably just trying to bend reality to my own will) this is how well I've done so far...

Sonne (german for sun)
Lune (french for moon)

given commanderkira's revelation (brilliant by the way- I would never have come up with that)...

72/5 - astrologically speaking (don't lose sight of them - the stars) the zodiac is broken up into 72 equal parts (360/72=5) of five degrees each. These parts are referred to as quintiles. *shrugs shoulders as to why its 360 and not 365 or 364 1/4*

path perhaps referring to the path of the stars.

There were a lot of fascinating things I browsed through - probably not relevant but I put them here just for fun

http://www.lunacy.co.uk/ (more like a search engine than anything else)

Eclipse of Justice: Ethics, Economics, and the Lost
Traditions of American Catholicism
by D. Don Welch, Royal W. Rhodes

Insanity or madness; properly, the kind of insanity which is broken by intervals of reason, -- formerly supposed to be influenced by the changes of the moon; any form of unsoundness of mind, except idiocy; mental derangement or alienation.

A morbid suspension of good sense or judgment, as through fanaticism.

To explain the unknown by the known is a logical procedure; to explain the known by the unknown is a form of theological lunacy.

I hope there's something there - if nothing else some entertainment value

even if they are, it is at least a distraction while we wait for something else to happen. All we wasted is some effort.

this is fun

Lobo, Skye came straight after we figured out the Framed clue. This is pretty legit, I would think.

Dancer, I think you're on to something. Every time you post you're a bit farther along in this clue. Keep it up. I'm trying, but I'm not coming up with as much as you.

Ok. I'm going to settle this. I'll send this message to Skye.

"Are you an In-game character (an NPC), or a fan? Apologies if you are an in-game character. Just ignore this message then. If, however, you are just a player, please let me know. Several people are confused."

more questions
what I don't know

I'm still not sure what to do with the clues...How does tie in to what we already know? I like to think that we'll be getting more info about Lune.

but what about shadow? or the other patients that were killed(by Vector?)

Is vector just a business front or something more?

Since you're new to the game, I wasn't sure if you saw this. It was one of the older messages we got after following the clue trail.

Thanks

I did miss that. It does shed a little more light on this. Had anyone gotten anymore revelations...the path is cold but the hearth burns warm. (just feeling a bit poetic.

Ok, so Skye hasn't replied to my message, so I'm inclined to believe against my initial judgment, that Skye is an NPC.

Now then, I think the author quote and the Bible verse are the most significant things to focus on with this clue.

Psalm 72 is a royal psalm possibly on the occasion of the coronation of a king. The psalm is often associated with the rule of Solomon.

Perhaps there is some connection between the author and this bible verse.

Well, the only royal people I can think of that are associated with Eleysia are Riese's parents and Amara. Maybe it has something to do with her coup of the old ruling family?

Well, so far the clues haven't had anything to do with Riese episode storylines, and I think that's unlikely to change. What book does the Edward Dahlber quote come from?
