 		The order really can't be said to give a reading because the cards have shown up exactly in order. Vlad pointed this out in part of a comment on my pawn problem solution:

Quote:
There is no coincidences here - if a magician does tricks on the first day while ... See Morestars are sung about on the 17th, surely fate has shuffled the cards into order for you? Now it is a matter to see what else occurs in 22s [or perhaps 24...?]


There are 22 trumps (if you include the Fool), so the RW tarot set is one thing that comes in 22s. One thing the 24 refers to is sets of 24 hours...there was a new tarot card theme (one of a set of 22) every 24 hours.

Is there something else that comes in 22s, or 24s, that we need to look at?

About 22s...I went back and read more about the butterfly diagram that refers to sunspot cycles yesterday, and I found out that the solar cycle is technically around 22 years long (on average), even though it's still very common to speak of it being 11 years (since most aspects of it look the same even after the polarity has become mirrored/flipped halfway through the cycle). That means the sunspot butterfly diagram produced in the 2nd half of the cycle would look more or less the same as the one produced in the 1st half, even though technically it's inverted...which connects to the mentions that have come up of reflection and the way pictures have had their colours inverted sometimes.

...BUT with all the connections we've been making in this game, that's not necessarily the 22 connection we're supposed to make, or the only one.

 		JPW believes Vanessa may go insane. This is her latest Yahoo blog entry decoded from the binary (spaces mine):

And soon.


JPW replied so to my direct questions about what occurred in Oregon in 1999, still evading the sourse of V's unbalance imo.

ETA: this rather callous ancillary note just sent. Appears he can see V's FB wall...

 		WE all got an FB message from V, too.

Translates to:

Quote:
redgreen

black


She also posted 11 mins ago:
111 000 111

Haven't gotten anywhere with that.

Numbers from the blog entry are sequential up to 13, which keeps being repeated.

Edit:

Hurr durr cause I'm slow today. The 13th Tarot card is Death.

Quote:
The Death card commonly depicts a skeleton riding a horse. Surrounding it are dead and dying people from all classes, including kings, bishops and commoners. The skeleton carries a black standard emblazoned with a white flower. Some decks depict the Crashing Towers from The Moon with The Sun rising behind them in the background. Some decks, such as the Tarot of Marseilles, omit the name from the card.

My brain is also melting trying to understand what she is trying to say yet the 14th Tarot card is Temperance.

Also, have been deciphering V's numbers above. Believe she is trying to say 111 111 111 111 or oooo but messing up.
And 111 000 111 is "oo" in Decimal Surprised We haven't even had any time to note and discuss Vlad's profile-pic-of-the-day.

 		Basically what dawndilion said. I just got the same message.

Are the colors significant in any way?

 		The redgreen is a reference to the sinople idea that keeps coming up--that sinople means red in one context, but green in another, even though they are opposite (complementary) colours on the colour wheel.

I suspect 111 000 111 may be more like Morse...S O S. I believe that what Vlad was trying to say in his conversation with James/Telos yesterday was that the machine was used to send the Morse for S O S to someone(s) in Coventry and that is how those few people escaped the Moonlight Sonata attack.

Edit: the Death card likely represents Johan, not V, if JPW is to be believed and if that is the reason she can't sense him.

Edit 2: brief convo with Vlad:

Quote:
Rêveuse

Vladimir [I was fully prepared to write his name 3 times, heh Smile]

4:28pm Vladimir

Yes. quickly.

please

4:28pm Rêveuse

How can I help?

4:28pm Vladimir

4:28pm Rêveuse

4:29pm Vladimir

4:29pm Rêveuse

4:29pm Vladimir

4:29pm Rêveuse

4:29pm Vladimir

4:29pm Rêveuse

can you sense Johan?

4:29pm Vladimir

go

check her noes

focusing

on her

keping her

toget


Edit 3:

AND more chat with Vlad:

Quote:
4:40pm Vladimir

ok Vanessa is stable for tonight.

But Johan is. Well. I do not think he will survive the night.

4:41pm Rêveuse

I wonder how she will take this.

4:41pm Vladimir

Have you checked her notes? Other areas she may post? Her mind is breaking down

4:41pm Rêveuse

She is stronger now than she once was.

I haven't checked her blog yet.

I will though

4:42pm Vladimir
Her notes area on facebook?

What might appear as a snippet on the wall is usually a link to something bigger.

4:42pm Rêveuse

yes, I did see a long binary note

shall I paste it into a message for you?

4:43pm Vladimir

just send me the translation as a fb message..

please.

4:43pm Rêveuse

Ok, I believe one of her other friends has it translated elsewhere

4:44pm Vladimir

I must go and tend to johan. There is no spy-nurse now so it is left to my tender care - nursing another Cardui member

wil try and check later.

4:44pm Rêveuse

It will be there soon.



The rest of Vanessa's 111 note:

That last number is the same as the key, right?

Also, the PM had a little OOG conversation with me and wanted to make sure y'all know V's note is not just the little snippet you can see on her Wall...you have to click the link to see the full (long) thing.

 		Hi lifegospel. We've been told to refer to both green and red as Sinople Answer HERE.

Believe 'oooo" is the primary msg they use either in Morse or in code as Vlad has mentioned this on previous occasions

 		Even more chat with Vlad:

Quote:
4:59pm Vladimir
Thank you for this [In and OOG - was getting anzious that's all] [Note: the OOG conversation was with his JPW account...I didn't copy & paste that, but it was all OOG about whether we could see V's full note or not]

5:00pm Rêveuse

I do what I can to serve, my friend.

5:00pm Vladimir

Now just inform everyone else as son as you can, with all her information please

Johan's condition worsens by the hour. Unfortunately I canot communcate with vanessa, just receive

5:01pm Rêveuse

unfortunately, we are in the same boat Sad

5:02pm Vladimir

Yes. The time for communication os over when the world is plunged into darkness - reverse as it were...

5:02pm Rêveuse

and so the time for reflection is at hand

5:03pm Vladimir

No. For a new lemniscate...

like bitterfly wings flapping again


I still don't really get the whole lemniscate thing.

Anyway, I also wanted to mention that I finally get it--the Fool card is the source of that blasted picture that Vlad posted Dec. 29, inverted and ROTATED, of all things (no wonder our image search tools couldn't find it)...the one that had the caption "It has moved from the first to the seconds, yet the players are still at 0." and the comment by Vlad "Are 0 and o/O the same? '-Wich is this?"

Remember that one of the times the PM broke the 4th wall, he gave this hint as a reward:
Quote:
The blue '0' pic is colour inverted and from a group of pictures that is easily found and refers to the equation beginning "C = "


...SO the "C =" equation is tied to the Tarot.

...and Vlad basically told Telos that the "0" was meant to indicate "cipher."

...and I have a feeling the numbers in V's note (not necessarily the ones that appear in order, but the others) are also meant to be deciphered somehow using Tarot information.

 		Thanks, dreamer. I didn't see all of the note, I guess.

Those numbers definitely mean something. It's got to be a cipher of some sort, but I tried plugging some of it into a decoder and got nothing. I'd encourage others with more experience to maybe work on it, lol.

 		WOW, dreamer, nice work. V's "357686312646216567629137" numbers have an original header of 111. When that string is run thru' decimal the result is 111 and 111 111 11, just "1" burrito short of Vlad's "oooo".

A tarot explanation is, of course, open minded yet maybe a real time-gutter imo. Smile

 		not wanting to burst bubbles
sorry amandel - the decimal thing doesn't work - it'll do that with any long string of numbers... something about their placement rather than the actual numbers - though that in itself might bear soemthing later? i've seen these numbers somewhere - we've got the key umber at the end - the beginning one?
[only reason I know that is coz when someone showed me a translator i got really bored one day and just pu in my name and random numbers sad huh??!! - didn't mean to upset or discourage Sad ]

 		Laughing not Crying or Very sad over spilt bubble juice. THX really, Crescent. Guess I'm the tarot-fool in hoping for easy logic with V.

EDIT: V has repeated this in binary 11 times: "Tempus Frangit' and once "Tempus'

 		So after a we bit of a break i've sort of caught up and i spoke with vlad. he asked me to send him Vanessa's latest blog post. the one that says:
1ICANT2SENSE3UNCLE4JANYM5OREAN6YMORE7ANYMO8REWHA9TWHAT10WHATI11SHAPP12ENING13TOMEW13HYISA13MIDIZ13ZYFAL13LINGR13EDGRE13ENRED13GREEN13REDGR13EEN

So here's my chat with him:

Quote:

Vlad?

Vlad?

Vlad?

{ Laughing I couldn't resist, although I don't think he's ever done the three times thing to me.}

9:50amVladimir
Just when Vanessa is about to lose it... a true king arrives

9:51amJim
What might she be losing?

9:51amVladimir
Her uncle, her mind and her grip on what is real and what is sinople.

9:52amJim
That is no good. How can I help?

9:54amVladimir
Find whatever Vanessa is posting and share with everyone else - her mind holds clues to what she is feeling.

Talk to people. Johan is soon to go and I am unsure how long I can preserve her ind alone

mind*

9:59amJim
well if you would like to know... It mentions some numbers, and the blazing sun. I'll send you the full message. Do you want it as an email or an FB message???

10:00amVladimir
Her blog or her faceboknotes? I already have her facebook information from others - her blog though peopel say is more umpbled..

jumbled

10:01amJim
i was talking about her FB notes sorry i dont know if she has added me on her blog i will check

10:02amVladimir

10:02amJim

10:05amVladimir

10:05amJim

 		I have to leave to go to work soon, but Vanessa just posted a wall message and 11 more comments to it. It's all in binary and I don't have time to translate it.

Edit:

Nvm. I got it. I thought it was all different codes in teh comments, but they all look the same (unless my eyes are crossing looking at them, lol).

Quote:
Tempus Frangit


time flies

Edit 2:
Oh my, some of them are different. /facepalm

She also posted a new profile pic of a butterfly.

Crescent -- no idea. That's just what wiki told me Wink Only hit I got was from a comic book that used the phrase...
