Not sure. Could be wrong, but isn't that when he said he's picking the king and queen?


I don't know. There's been so much communication with him from so many different people, it's hard to keep up and, like, work and stuff Razz Did we figure out what Astronomia : 111 means yet? It's on his profile.

I think Telos is on the right track.

Ran a spell check on her tweet:
Quote:
I'm voicing my thoughts here as i'm not sure what else to do. mum, why aren't you here anymore - i need you. greenwich? #arg ? not true...

still have the key in my pocket. still have my cash card. still have brain and hope andcourage. just want a ride ina balloon now!LOL

its freezing tonight though, at least i'm off streetz. for tongiht. ucles house, HIS house not mine. HIS life not mine. when did i lose mine

sick a pin in a map time i think, but will have to be by train. could go to states or australia or or or no can't passport back in house.

ok - i'm hellishly sleepy. emotion rllercoaster. wil see uncle tomorrow and have it out with him no computers. no scannig. just him and me.


Could be nothing but the missing letters and letters that were mixed around spelt "sign toln" I think.

Another thing I was told that if I could beat Vladimir's score on the brain game he would answer any question and I'm a little stumped as to what to ask because from what he said I think he means only 1 question. I was leaning towards: "What is your relationship/interest with Vanessa and her family???" Any thoughts???

Hmmmm...interesting...a mysterious old "protective" figure, a young woman with family secrets she doesn't even know about, and the whole thing being set in England so I don't have to stay awake till ridiculous hours to not miss anything?

Count me in Wink

Though all i've gotten so far is Vlad is desperate to find Van, who's run off with documents which he needs for some unknown reason - other than saying its a 'matter of national security'. He seems to enjoy belittling and making fun of those he's in contact with, and sees this entire operation as a game of chess sort of, placing all of the pieces on the board before the game can begin.

Miss anything important in there?

Oh and one more thing. In Vanessas tweets she mentions going to the states and to Australia. The two places other than England where we (the players) live.

I highly doubt she's going to run off.
I think - like when a kid bitches about strict parents and wants to run away from home - it's just talk because she's emotional.

We need to keep her in Greenwich, or at least the UK.

I'm split on Vlad being the bad guy.
He seems stalkerish and obsessed, but, I also think he may be trying to keep V safe. Now, I know he has his own ulterior motives. But, what if he's not the bad guy?

This John guy. He started asking her about her uncle - by name - when she had never mentioned it. When I've brought John up to Vlad, he acts like he's just an annoying boy and a distraction. I don't think they're working together, meaning there's another force in this.

What if Vlad IS trying to help her?

Edit :
It seems not everyone got the same invite to this game.

time for my daily roundup...

Well, I'm an idiot and forget that facebook chat stinks for messaging, so I don't have a log of any of that. The part that ended up in my inbox is:

Quote:

Vladimir Sirin December 16 at 8:00pm
I love none now. James? "LOL" Sonnet 111 was between the bard and his young love. I am no bard, nor am I young. I merely point out the signs for those who are too young to see properly, knowing what it is to be in darkness half my life. You, anonymous one, offer nothing bar chess moves and a location. He, he has given me hope and assistance. Besides, how can a whetstone compare with a sword?

Jane Doh December 16 at 8:16pm
nothing but...? I gave you a show of trust, and now the Dawndelion follows; that's more than a location and a name. Still as lovely as it is to exchange niceties with you, you do give me much to think upon....

Vladimir Sirin December 16 at 8:18pm
Nothing bar. There is a difference in word usage. Take it away and you get what? Nothing more or everything? Ever loked at what the number 0 actually is? Enjoy the rabbit-hole Alice, but don't tumble too, far, just far enough.


Plus, a few things about Vlad:
-- He mentioned Kiplings story How the Leopard Got His Spots, then later in chat told me to root around (not in), and to LINK it up. Normally I'd think there was a website, etc., but there isn't one is there?

-- He hates that I call him Uncle, because it gives him "bad memories." Something in one of his messages makes me think he knows V's mom or something: "She gets it from her."

-- As I mentioned on FB about the maths picture: You know, you can read the first line and the second a little... It's actually this, The White Knight's Tale from Looking Glass. I wonder if the overlay is the key.

-- I think there's something to the fact that he is messaging the lady players separately from the fella players. Something about his limits. I don't know if Vlad's directly mentioned to the fellas that our "locations" were important.

-- I hate that game. Immensely. I hate math and counting and crap like that.

Oh, and Sonnet 111 is "O! for my sake do you with Fortune chide,"

It's weird, because when *I* mentioned John, it hit the fan. His last question to me was "See. Now, would she have talked to anyone else about him?" I haven't given him my 100% truth, but I've answered his questions to the best of my ability. He's asked me who this guy works for, what his surname is, and what skills he has. To me, he's interested in this guy. He didn't start freaking out until I asked him if he knew John or if he sounds like someone who would try to get the information from Vanessa.

I think Vlad is trying to help, in his own way. I am concerned about Jim's earlier contact with him from yesterday:

From what must we protect our dear alice, the one who must become our queen??

From becoming the queen. Jim Sawyer December 16 at 4:29pm
Ah so are we on the opposing team, must we take her off the board and replace her?


Edit:
@disza - did you get a brain games invite? No wonder he's so fed up with me. He said I had to go head to head with someone of the fairer gender for Queen (you) or I had to find a King. I never got an invite.

Edit 2:
There's a youtube video how the leopard got its spots

Yes, I got an invite. I was kinda ignoring them, because I usually ignore those things. Smile

Um, I wasn't paying attention. Then I clicked on "home" and noticed I had a bazillion new requests. Guess what was one of them.

Also, #2 Woot!

Well, me bringing up John was from yesterday. I didn't bring him up today. He was offline when she posted the bit about John being a liar. I don't think - at the time - he thought the guy was of importance.

I've been feeding him - as I said - partial information. Edited information. Giving him just enough. And.. it seems that he knows quite a bit about this stuff. It seems that he knows enough to piece together the parts I've been leaving out.

Earlier V said she doesn't care that he has the info - since she doesn't care if her uncle dies and all that shit (probably just rage from the letter she read.).. so, I don't feel as bad sharing with him, but, at the same time - I'm not giving it all.

I think the King is going to be his right hand man. He mentioned that he needs help solving calculations and he needs someone smart and that he can trust. I feel he keeps pushing for me or Jim to be the king. I don't know if we're the only 'active' males in this, or if we're the two he trusts, but I practically told him I don't want to be the king, because the king is the one with a massive target painted on him. I told him also that i probably won't score high enough. He told me that it doesn't matter - that even if I'm not the king, someone who knows his literature (which I've been bullshitting for the most part. I'm a good reader... but being well read is a different story.) and is good with words is needed. He recommended that I learn to read cursive, because it would come in handy. (I think I'm going to take him up on that advice, because I feel like a moron for not being able to.)..

So I think either way, Jim and I are going to be his key contacts.

any way, done with my ranting for now.. i'm still trying to work some stuff out.

Shut up Telos, by the way all this speak of wolves reminded me of an old stratejic teaching game my dad used to play with me called sheep and wolf. It is played on a chess board and using chess pieces i.e 5 pawns and a king.

I think I already get the idea behind it, but, tell us more.
