Another code on the SUN card someone else can have a go at.

Nice, MV! How to make lemonade.The Sun card's code is the double base64 being used at FEEYT & is "26 February 1964".

Uncertain if that date is PIMCA related. OT-Having spent hours creating a female MD character ready to inject psychotropics on demand for PiIMCA and then got those tarot-twisty questions, am SUPAH impressed for you! Cool -OT OUT

 		Now I know why we got that email. So many different things.
On one front we have some odd thing in the comments in morse which is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
White Rabbit

Now why that's there i don't know. I suspect it's not related?
On another front just in case Level Two US and PW was the same I went and tried these combinations
highpriestess2
feburary1964
highpriestess1
feburary1964
highpriestess
feburary1964

I also did the same thing with the other date that was found. Both turned up nada on the US and PW.

 		TBS players--

Ignore the cards. I repeat ignore the cards, both were submitted by players of Forest's game, and Forest has confirmed that his card is solely related to his puzzles.

 		Only Beatrice I can find that's a) not a ruler in the 20th century.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrice_Portinari

Would Dante's muse suffice...I'm thinking Inferno and Circles of Hell. There's nine gates aren't there.

 		Hi! The attached is a letter from PIMCA. The binary leads to Arizona State Route 202. All intersecting just north of Phoenix..

which FWIW is my guess as the PW for PIMCA Level Two 'tho I've had no joy with it in practice. Embarassed

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I 17
I 10
AZ202

 		Phoenix has been a recurring clue, but are we still thinking level two clearance PW? If it is a drop Greenwood Memorial Lawn Cemetery is the largest landmark on the intersection of I 17 and I 10.

First of all, a word about scrying:


Scrying involves using a reflective, translucent, or luminescent substance such as crystal, stone, glass, mirrors, water, fire, or smoke. Scrying is a means of divining the past, present, or future.Although scrying is most commonly done with a crystal ball, it may also be performed using any smooth surface, such as a bowl of liquid, a pond, or a crystal.


When I do this, I put myself in a self-induced trance. It's really no more than self-hypnosis, but the deeper this state becomes, the clearer my visions.

My Visions:


Everything was clearly from the past:


A woman in childbirth
A man writing
A woman putting stones in his pocket
Small children locked in an asylum
A man setting rabbit traps
An artist painting in loops of color
A woman in the countryside in England
A man who could be either alive or dead
A monster or creature in the rain

It was titled Look Into My Crystal Ball.
There was also a picture which is labeled Scrying.

 		I live in the area. But I haven't been playing and I don't ow quite what to do with what I know.
202 is in central Phoenix. Not sure where the Arizona State Hospital is. Keep me apprised and if need be I can go check stuff out.
What other Phoenix clues do you have? I have been getting somewhat aggressively approached by Saranna in spite of not being otherwise involved with this game, and my location may be why. Wink

 		Actually, 17 becomes 10 and sr-51 becomes 202. The area roughly bounded by those is downtown Phoenix. Arizona State Hospital is in between 202 and 10 next to Sky Harbor (thank you coworker).

Frankenstein?

MARY SHELLEY???


ETA: Darn; thought August 1797 might be the pwd. Tried it with the highpriestess combos, but no luck.

Just a note cherrytree; you've spelled february wrong in the post; any chance you got it wrong when you were entering it as a pwd too? Bit of a hail mary really...

Frankenstein stuff would make some sense in terms of all of the alive/dead stuff though, and the Shelley refs; must be something there...

 		OK, Making progress here, but too tired to finish. Blog comment suggests that the 9 dates match the 9 recent Saranna crystal ball visions. So after much googling, here is what I have come up with. Dates match famous author birthdates, for the most part, and the quotes seem related to their work in some way. Dates are in the order they appeared in the blog. Numbers in parentheses at the end are the order in which the visions appeared in the crystal ball blog. Asterisks indicate why I think the vision matches the author. Some I'm not so sure of; hence the question marks. I was thinking that these would provide the passwords to the different PIMCA levels, but haven't really tried it out…

Original blog post
1. A woman in childbirth
2. A man writing
3. A woman putting stones in his pocket
4. Small children locked in an asylum
5. A man setting rabbit traps
6. An artist painting in loops of color
7. A woman in the countryside in England
8. A man who could be either alive or dead
9. A monster or creature in the rain

Original Dates
1932
1882
1797
1930
1885
1888
1816
1882
1837




Putting them together

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1932 Sylvia Plath? October 1932? Woman in countryside in England (7?)*
1882 Virginia Woolf Jan 1882; woman putting stones in HIS pocket? (3)**
1797 Mary Shelley? August 1797? Monster or creature in the rain (9)
1930 Ted Hughes; a man writing? (August 1930) (2)
1885 D.H.Lawrence, a man setting rabbit traps (5) ***
1888 TS Eliot; September 1888; A man who could be alive or dead ( 8 ) ****
1816 Charlotte Bronte, April 1816, a woman in childbirth (1)*****
1882 A A Milne, Jan 1882??
1837 ???

* Umberto Eco also born in 1932
**To put stones in one's pockets means one is going to commit suicide. This term comes from the method of suicide employed by Virginia Woolf when she put a large stone in her pocket and walked into a river to drown herself.
Marie Jones, born 1952, wrote a play called Stones in HIS pockets, so this might also have something to do with it, I suppose

***DH Lawrence September 1885; man setting rabbit traps (Poem: 'Rabbit snared in the night');

**** TS Eliot's Wasteland: "Before, Eliot alluded to the fact that the people within the previous three sections were dead on the inside and alive in reality."

***** Charlotte Bronte died in childbirth



Seriously crosseyed...bed...

 		Great job MensVenatus! From the email alluding to connecting evidence together I knew the password must have been in there. Well I got a hit.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
US:highpriestess2 PW:april1816

I thought of that date on the hunch that it would be a kinda joke or big clue.
Also I was correct on what the US was. Seems the password is in the same format too. Could be helpful for further levels.
Seems to be some kinda map of part of a city. Phoenix maybe?
So maybe we are looking at a drop for sure?
