Hey Deathies (and Lifeys too)

I emailed Saranna, even though I' not at all sure who is on what side these days...
ETA: Ah, just beat me Amandel. Ideas on who we should be telling? Lifey's should tell...I don't know, Saranna, and Deathy's should tell PIMCA? Or what?

PIMCA contact page info below. Agent initials at the bottom look like they should be relevant. Not sure how though.
Hope I didn't blow it by informing Saranna too soon...

Ed Orlive is an anagram for Evildoer, which I quite liked...:>
Trying to look for an author link to the initials,
Sara Paretsky (SP) wrote the V I Warshawski series of books (VW)
No idea if it is relevant though...

new clue at IWCB
Quote:
He was here, but now he's gone,
find the password's meaning
and you won't go wrong.
You'll get a new clue
To where he's gone now,
One step closer to taking your bow.
Name of the pwd window is london; tried Royal national theatre as pwd but no luck so far

@MensVenatus
Life is trying to save Leda by turning in David. Thus they should contact PIMCA to save Leda
Team Death is trying to save David. So I thnik your supposed to contact Saranna to save him.
Time to crack that page.

Response from Saranna when I told her about the theatre...
Quote:
Thank you so much, MV. Unfortunately, the Royal National Theatre was only a red herring, originally entitled to keep David safe. He is not there. They are on to him.
Not sure what it means, exactly; does she mean originally intended to keep him safe? So is the whole London map thing a red herring?

mensvenatus,
i think the agents will be named after more literary figures:
v.w. = virginia woolf
s.p. = sylvia plath (?)
t.h. = thomas hardy
d.h. = not sure - dh lawrence maybe? if so is it a clue as the format is different from the other agents?
j.j. = james joyce
as there is a log-in for the agents, with UN and PW required, maybe we can hack one of their accounts?

I have removed my blog. Chester and I are safe now. We are beyond anyone's reach. I wish I could say the same for David......
I will keep this up for a short time, for my friends who have stayed with me through thick and thin. Soon I will be out of contact forever.....
Maybe someday our story can be told, but for now we remain hidden from the world, if only to find each other.

i'd had an exchange of emails with saranna last night, in which she said that leda will be safe but that she feared PIMCA would know where david is within the next few days, 'or hours'.
looks like the focus has shifted entirely to finding david for now - and presumably away from the IWCB storyline to bring us all into the TBS game.
still none the wiser as to where in london he is. i seem to have tried every key possible for the last vignere clue on the IWCB blog. unless anyone else has more up to date info, or a better understanding of what has happened so far, my thougts are:
david is in london
he was near to big ben
he moved from the tower of london to...
originally it looked like he had gone to the royal national theatre but saranna went on to say this was a red herring
unless we get an obvious message to suggest IWCB2 continues as a separate ARG, then for now i am going to switch to the TBS thread for all talk of finding david,

Okey doke then. I'll try to keep it in the other thread also.
No dice with the key either. I've tried everything on the map and more. Nothing seems to do it. Whatever it's supposed to be has passed over my head.
I've been communing with PIMCA also. My responses have been a little warmer though.
I got this after I sent them an email to see what they would say about the Royal National Theater. This was their response
Quote:
Thank you for your cooperation.
Yes, we know he was at the Royal National Theatre and is no longer there. Our agents are currently trying to find him at another location in London.
As soon as you have more information about his current location, please let us know.
Thanks again,
The PIMCA Organization
That's all I have at the moment. Any other posts I'll go to the other thread for ya.

Go North to Get South: Thoughts... Okay I'm sure everyone has spotted this already but nobody said anything so I will put my fourthpenny in.
On the IWCB page it says: Go North to Get South
Assumely from Big Ben heading north you end up at Covent Garden which on the London.html page, Covent Garden is highlighted in purple.
Googling Covent Garden and South you get South African Shop and there is a Southampton street also at Covent Garden: Go North to Get South?!?
ETA: The Royal National Theatre is located on the South Bank (North East of Big Ben)
One other possibility is that it has something to do with the Tube Map travelling clock (BigBen) wise to get south.
Hope this helps.

noticed noticed I hadn't even noticed but she's following me as well, along with the usual suspects around here (ARGInsider, J. Waite), so if there was any doubt that this is a trailhead...

the IWCB sites have shut down, and TBS page tells us that PIMCA have found and taken david. there's nothing on either thread to say any of us solved the last clue, or found the UN/PW - so did anyone hand david over, or is this the PM moving the story forward? possibly PIMCA's success = team death's failure to save david, rather than team life's failure to rat him out?
interesting though that PIMCA page now has a non-link heading to tell us they will be recruiting agents soon. a chance for us to find out more about them, and to get on the inside?
anyone have any non reported email/twitter/solve news, or are we just sitting back and waiting?
mycroft
