Re: Claire and Vanessa

Does Vanessa know about Claire? she's been so busy with the 'chess game and uncle etc etc etc - sh'e not reallly mentionned claire - just - hi scan all this crap for me i'm off to do lolcats basically...

'pack' comment being discussed brought me back to the cards thing again - is this something we're overlooking as well - too much - but like telos said - it's all got a link up apparently?!

ok hermit, major arcana card number 9 being posted today - anything else?


All I know is that there's a lot of stuff that we haven't been able to link together so far. A lot of puzzles we haven't gotten worked out. It's hard to tell what's important now and what's not, because stuff we've over looked seems to be unimportant now, due to PM moving things along even with out us figuring them out (Perhaps by substituting other puzzles with them, that give us the same outcome.). but, really, it's hard to see what matches to what at the moment.

Something was mentioned by JPW earlier (lost it, though. I had closed firefox when I went to take a call, and lost the chat log.) about 78 being cut down to 22 or something? Like, something about things being removed from both sides to make it 22. I don't remember what it was, to be honest D:
Edit ::
Also, that -was- the hermit.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hermit
Quote:
The Hermit (IX) is the ninth trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional Tarot decks. It is used in game playing as well as in divination.


Also, a chariot was mentioned in Jane's conversation with JPW. The 7th trump card is a Chariot.

Traitors were brought up. the 12th trump card is 'The Hanged Man', also known as the traitor.

Death was brought up, and is the 13th.

Something interesting. The 8th and 11th trump cards seem to be interchangeable in position. The two of which are strength and justice.

I'll have to ask my mom about them, she used to be big in to tarot stuff.

good catch

i just went on the lantern thing and my mate being into tarot - wiki has loads of info on it, though, as you said about PM moving this on quickly before we get chance to process it all, sounds like all the characters are taking a 'time out' right now?! [either JPW hs Claire so neither of them posting] and no net access in a cave [where ARE they no caves in greenwich from what i know -would be cool if there were though!]

Cave may be a metaphor. Or a nickname for a location.
Or they may no longer be in Greenwich.

9th trump, eh? Is THAT why Claire posted that she's always liked the number 9 (even though no creatures have 9 legs, like spiders having 8 legs Rolling Eyes)

I'm not quite sure if this is right, but in the UK it's the 9th already. The Hermit is the 9th trump card, JPW posted a picture of the Hermit today.

It could be nothing but a coincidence, but, I think dates and cards may have a connection?

Something tells me there's something big with tarot now.

Also, the Hermit could be tied to Timon of Athens, as he became a hermit himself.

Some times I wish I could just like.. have a computer for a brain, y'know? Be able to match these connections quickly.

Edit ::
Something I noticed about that Hermit. If you do a negative image filter on just the part that's already had it done, the two blues don't match.

Also, there seems to be a line that cuts through the arm area, even when changed back to 'normal', as well as a few orange pixels where there should be blue, and the other way around. It appears that they're from the same image, but, possibly it was edited before having the negatived.

I was going to check for anything stegged in it, but, I remembered - facebook removes any stuff like that.

EDIT! ::

I GOT IT!

78 cards in a 'French Tarot' deck.... 78 was cut down to 22 according to JPW.. Well, there's 22 trump cards.

Edit :
Going out with some friends. We're not going to be doing much for a few hours, so I'll keep check on this and facebook from my phone. I'll be limited as I don't have copy-paste (at least that I know of) or my bookmarks and text files for all of this, but, I'll try to keep up with things.

I am trying to decide whether to keep Claire as a friend or not. I have not accepted JPW's friend request (nor clicked any button to make it go away...just letting it sit there), but I am wondering if I should be removing "Claire" to keep JPW from seeing my Wall/etc.

More importantly, I wonder if we should private-tweet Vanessa and encourage her to remove Claire as a FB friend.


Have also been debating that yet am reluctant to do so as not only is her status a JPW countdown now but she may also find a way to get thru' to us at some point. Do agree it's sometiing wise for V to consider doing. Sad .

And ditto on the "'French Tarot' deck" nice catch.

I may or may not be around for a day or a week or more.. how ever long it takes me to recover.

My cat is 16 years old, I've had him since I was four..he's been the only thing I've had in my life that hasn't come and left just as quick. He means the world to me, and I love the shit out of him. He's been real sick recently, and we've been trying to see if he would make it, but, he's so weak and sickly that my mom thinks it's time to do the 'humane' thing and have him put to sleep.

I don't want it to happen, but there's no other way at the moment. the vet doesn't think he'll get any better, and mom doesn't think he'll make it through the night.

I may have the memories and the pictures and everything, but I'm losing the closest 'friend' I've ever had tonight. I don't know how I'm going to take it.

Depending on how much this devastates me, I may not be around for a while.

Sorry to bring IRL shit in to this, and I'm not expecting pity or anything, I'm just letting you all know why I might not be around.

-James

Am so sorry for your losing your friend. Please just know that everyone will understand how awful you are feeling now.

OOG/META

Very sorry for your loss, Telos. I know it can be really tough to lose someone important.

An OOG message from the PM via FB:

Quote:
[OOG IRL reasons have meant this game has had to be postponed - a player has had a death in his family, and a PM has ran out of funds for certain aspects for now. I politely ask for 1 week pause. Nothing will be posted/deleted in this time [but new players will be 'welcomed'] but players should feel free to discuss and... work out clues in the meantime. Thank you. Vanessa PM.


Also, separately, I've been told that we really should be taking this time w/ the wiki and the "bubble thing"(?). I get the impression that we are missing something.

Our thoughts are with you, Telos, I daren't even let our cat out the house (she's thick) for worrying something would happen to her.

Just in case this quote is needed later. And, once again James, my thoughts are with you.
