Any better ideas??

 		I was thinking that the capitalized letters from the email were some sort of anagram but no such luck.

 		You can't have a 9 and a 17 without an 8.

Quick! Pair off - all 9's find an 8 and make babies. Then they will be 17s and have all the riches of the world.

Lots of misspellings in that email. I wonder at the difference in language between Apotos' other emails and that long one.

 		Not 17. But an 8?
Numerology
Just spoke with my partner who has some knowledge of numerology, she suggests that it may be an 8 (1+7). As opposed to a 17

Hmm, could the misspelled ltrs have a numerological association with specific numbers which could in turn be equivalent to other ltrs? Stretching maybe...

I think there are 9 random "I's" indivdiually capitalized unless you also count INOX and IT


Actually, there are 25 in the whole email. The nine that are randomly capitalized are:

Institutional
Inexplicably
Inability
Infavorable (misspelled)
Inabling (misspelled)
Inforgivable (misspelled)
Insurmountable
Inevitable
Indulge

The rest are INOX, IT, and other random "I"s.

 		Yay another 4 pages of content while i was away Wink

I have some possibly interesting information regarding going up in the ranks:
Code:
Apate Dolos to me
show details 2:55 AM (6 hours ago)
no i want to be a 7
can we switch?


thinking this was an interesting idea, i replied
Code:
Switching grades? How would that work?

Why would you want to be a 7 rather than a 9 though?


I'll probably not get anything back before tomorrow, what with the timezones, but it might be something to keep an eye out for, trading scores.

 		I was just about to go to sleep when I thought of something. Might be stupid or nothing. What about 9 & 17 as a date? September 17th ?

Well I'm stumped. I say we go with this idea.

I just went through the entire thread and took some notes. For now, I think all we have is a setting for what's taking place. I almost think we're supposed to wait for something. However, there are a few things that stuck out to me... unanswered questions.

1) A&D (Apate and Dolos... I'm tired of typing it out XD) talks about how there used to be others but they've gone and went away. Is this what he's talking about when he talks to Ninja about "Cyclacil". He says the Noblesse are what's left of those who haven't left Cyclacil. (Cyclacil is an anagram for Cyclical?)
2) A&D references "THE" doppleganger. Not his/her doppleganger... s/he says this is everyone's doppleganger.
3) There seems to be some sort of order between all these different names. The Noblesse are the group of people with numbers/deal with these numbers. They may or may not be religious of some sort. The Quobe group is the business side of things? People do "work" for the Quobe group. They help bring the Noblesse together. The Nobility are the 4 people that review applications and assign numbers. The Nobility seems to be part of the Quobe group.
4) Aisa refers to applicants as "new numbers".
5) During the episode with A&D needing to be calmed down, Aisa mentions something about not being his/her partner. I couldn't find the email before this, so maybe something was implied in the previous email... but I was intrigued about the idea of what kind of partner she meant.
6) I thought it was funny when A&D said "patience is for mental patients". Since 9 is the number of patience (thank you xoxo), I read it as "9 is for mental patients", which is indeed what A&D seems to be. Hahaha.
7) A few things about the last long ass email A&D sent to everyone. There are indeed 9 I-words that are capitalized. What is the significance of this? There was a reference to "children being abandoned by the Inforgivable". Who are the "Inforgivable"? Also 17 is the mark of the "oldest of them who we owe our fatel INOX". Who are the oldest of them? And what in the fuck is a fatel INOX? "If 9 is north the 17 is its x on the map", sounds like coordinates, but it might just be gibberish.. like everything else A&D says.

Anywhoz, I've been up late, so I hope this isn't too incoherent. Just some things that came to mind.
