ifsogirl,

i think that the game that is running under the tarotbysaranna thread will be a separate game from IWCB2, albeit connected by a character (and possibly some themes). 'the fortune teller' character was referred to at the beginning of IWCB2 and would appear to be the person we need to find to help us find our missing man.

IWCB's PM has suggested as much in brief conversation prior to the relaunch of IWCB2.

my personal preference is to leave the other game to run on its own, whilst keeping an eye on the thread in case of any useful information, or misplaced clues. the thread has already given us an email address for our fortune teller, which i assume would be what we found out from the IWCB2 four clues puzzle (for which we only have clue 1 - answer tarot - so far)

yes i know but i believe the "her" site is connected to the tarot cards, seeing as there is a link w/ the wand, cup, sword, etc

All the clues are visible at IWCB. Two are straightforward (Tip: neither is Hermione Laughing ) 'tho the last one has me stumped.

amandel,

i didn't figure out the 'choose life' clue 4 yet either. i was assuming that the answer gives us

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
tarotbysarannaSPLATgmail.com


as that is the fortune teller's email address according to her blogspot page. i sent an email to that address anyway, to see if i get a reply from saranna, although i'm not sure that the gmail.com part is right. will post any reply i receive.

No idea about that choose life clue either; I thought maybe thru a biblical quote it would have something to do with combining things (Sarah and Anna), but not that I can see.

I still think

the game is afoot

ok so as we had solved the clues to get to tarotbysaranna, and the earlier 'her' page had told us we needed the help of the fortune teller, i sent saranna an email.

Quote:
hey there,

i have been reading your blog and wondered if you could help me? i am looking for a man that has gone missing, or maybe is in hiding? this man is the father of a friend and i believe he may be in danger...if i can find him before certain other people then it's possible i could save his life.

i understand you have experience and certain very rare skills in this area of work. i'd be happy to have you read a card for me if that would help?

i pick justice...and my question is how do i find a man that doesn't want to be found?


and got the reply

Quote:
Mycroft,

I think I might be able to help you. However, I need you to choose a different card.


thinking that perhaps the fourth clue was a clue to the card i went with

Quote:
i suppose the obvious opposite of life would be the death card


and just got this reply

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Mycroft,

You are correct. The opposite of life is death. You are very smart, and for that I will help you. There is a woman who you must help and protect. You must get to know her and earn her trust. She, in turn, will help you get what you want. You can find here here:

will post again on the new site separately

apologies for the double post but the last was already long enough.

so the new blog may look familiar to some. and just in case the IWCB link isn't firmly established, the line

Ah Ha! Mycroft, so you are the person she is talking about...

Posted an email exchange on teh Saranna thread that was confusing me, and her most recent one was confusing me even more...

Quote:
MV,

Don't lose heart. I like you and think you can be trusted, so I will tell you that a friend of yours chose the right card, and I gave him the information he was looking for. I have a very special job for him, and he will need help from his friends.

Sincerely,
Saranna


I didn't choose the death card, so that's what that means; I thought she was talking about a message that distilled got....

Anyway, well done asking for the death card, and I gather we are supposed to help you with this new quest...

hey mensvenatus,

not sure on what the new quest is yet, maybe we'll hear more tonight? 'leda' suggested she would be attempting the wallet snatch later today and that might lead to more information as well, tho i expect that to be different to what saranna was hinting at.

from the small amount posted to the butterfly blog, and the snippets posted back in istanbul, it seems that leda and the man we assume is lori and sylvie's father may be 'together' but they still have a lot of secrets and might not have been a couple for that long. they are both on the run and/or hiding from something, but that might be different things and for different reasons. i think our first big task is to try to work out who our protagonists are and what's their story - if we are going to earn leda's trust we need to know a lot more about her.

and a thought on her using the name 'leda' - presumably a reference to the greek myth? leda was the mother of helen of troy, by zeus. so maybe something to do with her children (which would echo the theme of absent parents from IWCB1)? and maybe her pursuer is a powerful figure from her past? or perhaps she just has a thing for big birds...

mycroft

I like the theories. The story I was telling myself is that the plan might be to get the Saranna folk trying to work for Leda, and the IWCB folk to work for David/Lori's Dad, and pitch us against each other somehow. Which is all based on no evidence whatsoever, but is interesting to think about...

BOTM has an update & her possible followers may be the Pimca Org. from Saranna's blog. Shocked Sent Leda a twitpic of their logo.

Seeing your logic, MensVenatus. Since Saranna is a trusted friend to both Leda & David am really hoping that's not the case.

another_pilot_dwn hello. All you'll need twitter/blog-wise begins with Mycroft's "the game is afoot" post on this page and....

On the IWCB Homepage there are now 2 PW pages, "life.html" & "death.html", with the text of Romeo and Juliet's Prologue.

I forgot to come back here yesterday and post this, but before the IWCB update to the prologue of Romeo and Juliet, this poem by Sara Teasdale had been posted. It probably has nothing to do with the password protected pages, but thought I should post it anyway.

Quote:
Love And Death
Shall we, too, rise forgetful from our sleep,
And shall my soul that lies within your hand
Remember nothing, as the blowing sand
Forgets the palm where long blue shadows creep
When winds along the darkened desert sweep?

Or would it still remember, tho' it spanned
A thousand heavens, while the planets fanned
The vacant ether with their voices deep?
Soul of my soul, no word shall be forgot,
Nor yet alone, beloved, shall we see

The desolation of extinguished suns,
Nor fear the void wherethro' our planet runs,
For still together shall we go and not
Fare forth alone to front eternity.
