waiting. this seems well worth waiting for to continue.
I have been following this and I am in suspense of what story is beeing told, you are doing very nicely playing this, in a way I could not. I'm in awe. ingredients like a librarian, faery magick, ecologist themes are all like catnip to me. but I will not try to be involved at this time, I can't see what good I'd do.
but my reflection so far following this is that this is all reminding me of Guillermo Del Toro. my fav movie of him is Hellboy II. as I am a librarian, I think of the new book by this filmmaker/author, by the name of 'Dont Be Afraid of the Dark: Blackwoods Guide to Dangerous Fairies'. I believe it preeceds a new movie by him. http://www.dontbeafraidofthedark.com/

Two quotes:

William Blake: "To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour."

Albert Einstein: "Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another."

The William Blake quote comes from "Auguries of Innocence".

Gee, thanks for doing all the work >> Razz

I've been a part of the "sister" ARG as well, and it seems both sides are asking for help. Very strange.

New e-mail containing a base64 encoded message.

I got the same email, but this was attached:

Oh yeah, that was attached to mine as well. I just forgot about it. Embarassed

EDIT: Thanks to a comment from Forest on his twitter I found the meaning of the e-mail's title "ninety and another five". Today, August 28, is Jack Vance's birthday. He turned 95 today.

No one seemed to catch the hidden messages before decoding the base64 message:

Bold: SooNWeComE
Italics: helpUS
Underlined: 2808

2808 means, August 28th--today. Soon the Green comes. Help the Green.

~~19:16 means, help the Green at 19:16. GMT 0, I'm sure. This time already passed?~~ 1916 is Jack Vance's birth year.

I was afraid this would happen, since we didn't get much of anywhere...

I found some vague reference to this phrase "Venus rose in Leo to mark the scepter". I've also been searching 28 08 19:16 The Watchman.

Edit--It's Biblical, I think. The Bible references a Watchman, and 19:16 turns out to be a passage about him, in 2 Kings. I've sent off my email; awaiting a response.

Edit2--I was right about the Biblical Watchman, but not the link to Byron. It still seems something to do with constellations. Perhaps, the Hunter, Orion? I don't see an immediate link, so I'm going to have to research. Btw, the Watchman is a condescending asshat!

Definitely Howard Fair related, but I'm not sure how exactly.

For those who don't know the details about "The Lost Will Be Found", the reference that I can see is to the two "missing" Tarot cards that I learned about during the Tarot by Saranna ARG, numbers 81 and 82. Jupiter and Juno. http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/herstelde-orde/review.shtml
