aahh!! I actually tried them both singularly didn't think to string them together.

It's the near misses that get under your skin the most.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
PW is: "comesaround"

There is a hyperlink under the words "you decide" leading to http://iwascharlottebronte.com/

I've found a bug of sorts - I have subscribed to the hidden blog and get email updates when a new entry is posted. The updates contain the text of the blog post - even if said post is password protected. So I get the full text of "The Cards Say..." without even realising it had a password on it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Startied to make a grid and found this message (so it's likely a railfence cipher)

E-mail from Saranna
Catching up on the story

I received this in my inbox today -- I've been busy and out of the loop this week:

"I know where David is. He has found his wife and she is planning to betray him. They want me to hand him over. They now have several people helping them:

http://pimca.org
http://iwascharlottebronte.com

These people cannot be trusted, and I need you to do anything you can to help me protect David."

So, I need to choose one or the other?

another post on the TBS main page:

Quote:
...from David. Actually, a series of texts. I need to find him and warn him.

Here are the texts:

1066-1087
1216-1272
1327-1377
1377-1399
1422-1461
1483-1485
1509-1547
1558-1603


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
these look like they will all relate to the reigns of various kings and queens of england. i haven't looked them all up but the last is definitely elizabeth 1 and the first is definitely william the conqueror.



EDIT

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the dates are for:

william 1
henry 3
edward 3
richard 2
henry 6
richard 3
henry 8
elizabeth 1

which could give us WHERHRHE (anagram of where hrh? - buckingham palace?)

or 13326381 as a coded clue.

or might not be anything that simple

Length of reigns?

For the above, I am playing with the idea that the length of the periods of time might also be useful. But this is just an initial idea and I am playing with this still. I am also scanning wikipedia to see if there is anything else connecting these monarchs.

Update: Pimca has left comments on both of Saranna's blogs:

Pimca on The Hidden Cards blog wrote:
David's wife is not working for us, but we are closing in. It's only a matter of time, Saranna. You can't hide from us.

and

If I were you, I'd be careful who I shared information with.

David's last message

I might be way off here:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

william 1
henry 3
edward 3
richard 2
henry 6
richard 3
henry 8
elizabeth 1

or 13326381 as a coded clue.

I think it might be the final digits in a UK phone number. In London, after the area code, the digits for individual phone numbers are usually eight digits. The trick, then, is figuring out what the area code is precisely and, possibly, calling David (or Saranna doing so).


I am contacting Saranna to throw my idea out there -- I am in Canada, so testing the theory by phone is not really possible for me to do.[/spoiler]

i've contacted saranna as well to ask if she can help me throw some more light on this.

she is obviously worried about david and the shadowy PIMCA organisation have raised the stakes - making a play to find him through enlisting other people. we know he is in london somewhere and i suppose we had better find out where pretty quick, so that we can pass the news on to saranna who seems to be his only hope of escape. plot definitely thickens.

Update at TBS and at IWCB with the msg "We have David now" where there's a hyperlink to Pimca who are Hiring Soon.

So who's the lucky duck who cracked the last cipher?
I'm guessing that means someone on Team Life got the info.
I'll make sure to try to get hired by PIMCA.

i'm not sure that the last clue was cracked by a player - there's no message from any of us (Team Life) on the other thread concerning this.

it's possible that david's being picked up is a PM strategy to move the game along? i had been corresponding with saranna to try to get her to give me a clue as to his whereabouts, and a couple of her replies suggested that it was only a matter of hours before PIMCA found david - which sounded at the time as if that was how the story would develop whether we found him or not.

the other connected game (I Was Charlotte Bronte) seems to be on a temporary hiatus - possibly because it has served its purpose in bringing the two groups together in the hunt for david. so now the only obvious open line is the PIMCA website which states that they will be recruiting agents shortly. i will await an application form,
