Apologies for double post, but:

Good work. I've been looking to see if there are any relevant folk born on Jan 4th but, oddly, that year seems to have no famous babies.

I'm pretty sure the right date will link, somehow, to some birth, death or discovery judging by the past MO of the clues. The solutions so far have linked to people in the scientific and astronomical community.

I think there were a couple of other people further back in the thread that posted card details but no image. Have we got all their details?

So, Cortez, you're not just another pretty lil avatar, are ya. Talk about a fresh pair of eyes. THX

Ah yes! Through our actions and reasoning with the NPCs last "game", we prevented the death of Frank Watson Dyson on a ship. Through a coded message he hinted at his real final resting place in a wood - although this happened after the suggested date.

However, I've just noticed Freeman Dyson was born very close to the suggested astrological date - 15th Dec 1923. He's 86 right now.... 87 in December.


But then that's a birth, not a death so might be a red herring.

Edit - yup, O pretty much confirmed it's not Freeman when I asked him about Half Lufe. Said he's much more interested in realities.

Heads up....Oegrusson's twitter account has disappeared.

[Dagada]

Are you sure? Still there for me....

[Cortez]

My bad...misspelled it.

He just posted this...

[Dagada]

Ahhh - does the MC on my card = Medium Coeli?

Does this make sense to those with Astrological skills, or help us narrow things any further?

[Cortez]

Yes MC is the midheaven. Nice one Dagada.

OK, O on direct message from Twitter pointed a couple of us at a chatroom, where he confirmed my suspicion that the date is 2 days after Sabin Baring-Goulds death. He said something about a blog of sorts from Sabines father, Edward, and that the name Oroborot should never be mentioned as will bring suspicions to bear. In fact shortly after O logged off, a Ben V logged on Based in Ontario, Canada, he not only knew of SBG and knew he was dead, but was overly interested in SBG's father blog, Suspicious much? So I say we're talking about werewolves and send him to a live journal about them, which charmingly he says is garbage, and seems very angry, but pointed me to a rather nice website of his Book of Werewolves. He leaves the chat shortly after as both Dreamer blue and I are well cagey about giving out any more info, saying he's got to fix a mates computer, Dreamer notes that Canadians don't say mate

Ben V was mentioned on Claire Vanessa Atalantas fb some time ago:

Very brief chat with Vlad...I misunderstood and thought he was chatting with James, so I backed off:

[ironnikki]

Having trouble following all of this astrology stuff, but that's probably got something to do with it being past my bedtime, haha...

Anyway, I hadn't been on FB for a while, so Vlad asked me if I was okay. I answered that I am preparing to move to a new place, so things have been a bit busy, and he responded with:

I'm pretty sure it relates to the game and RL. Our lovely PM is a clever chap and I always admire his ability to turn any situation into a clue.

The "two days to pack and unpack" line is interesting. And why is it important that the real death occurred not as historically recorded. And why is a writer of fiction, folklore and hymns suddenly so vital when The Ministry previously spoke of having been founded by men of science.
