 		An exchange here http://astealthythiefthatmencalldeath.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
led me to retry some things

http://onexactitudeinscience.wordpress.com/

was posted sometime yesterday. Yes folks, it was unsolvable 'till then. Grr.

http://ontheexactitudeofscience.wordpress.com/

No time to work on the riddles, but this might help http://thefearmythos.wikia.com/wiki/Dolls
will post up my rant later.

In the About page http://onexactitudeinscience.wordpress.com/about/ it says
About
Are you checking here for hidden content? You won't find any.

Not. One. Bit.

Yet click on the period after Bit.

 		Clever Booba! Props on finding the hidden 'bit' making the permutations mind boggling. Twisted Evil Tried to buy us a hint but my tablet somehow double spaced my comment making it look dafter than intended. *le sigh* EDIT: Likely thinking I'm round twist now The Pardoner helped us out.

The Pardoner's Tale wrote:
Well, since you asked so nicely: the first password starts with a b. Or an m, depending.


EDIT: When was patient MOUNTWEAZEL, LILLIAN added? It leads to a page "not found" as it's the "neologism" for Fictitious entry. Of note b/c it's a device Borges & J. Joyce used and Joyce's LANE, RODERICK is empty, too. Neologism is a term used in psychiatry which is apt to our story context & b/c am going wacky with these PWS.

 		Both vanished this a.m. yet can be retrieved HERE. There's a comment on the Exactitude Blog. Believe it reffies Satre's novel Nausea & Absurdism or Absurdist fiction

Called "One thought on The First One" The Pardoner's Tale wrote:
Symptoms may include nausea and the belief that the whole of existence is inherently meaningless.

 		Hi & welcome Renna! No worries esp. if you've got ideas about the PWs. Instead of Sartre am channeling StarTrek: "Dang it, Jim, I'm a doctor not a metaphysician." Laughing

And maybe channeling Joss Whedon's Dollhouse Pardoner's Tale also wrote:
Sufferers of this include famous actress Eliza Dushku.

 		Joss Wheldon connection to Nausea ?

Quote:
Whedon has also spoken about existentialism. On the Firefly DVD set, Whedon explains in detail how existentialism, and more specifically the book Nausea, by Jean-Paul Sartre, was used as a basis for the episode "Objects in Space".[71] On this commentary he claimed interest in existential ideas and described the impact of Nausea on his early life


Sartre originally titled the novel Melancholia

 		New Hint:
Quote:
Some men are born committed to action: they do not have a choice, they have been thrown on a path, at the end of that path, an act awaits them, their act.


My ideas were marionette (did not work as a password) or determinism Dunno

 		Cursing myself b/c the PW for HENLEY, BRANDON's file was my 'nick' on my favorite Buffy forum in TEH day. Been popping into my noggin for days. Told Pardoner what it is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
'badfaith'

Quote:
Condition: Ganser syndrome

History: Mr. Henley was a student at NYU doing his dissertation on mythology. When he turned in his dissertation, however, it was found to be almost complete gibberish and Mr. Henley was diagnosed with a rare dissociative disorder, also known as nonsense syndrome, where he responses to others with complete nonsense. This is associated with fugue states and audio and visual pseudohallucinations.

Beakman's Notes: A continuing victim of our friends the Choir. It's an interesting study in their methodology, especially how they change all the words he writes into gibberish, completely cutting off any form of communication.

 		Yeah, poor Grace, i haven't seen any news about her.

But I am pretty clueless about the current riddle... Under the x? Is silver a person with that name? Or do we search for a location? (btw. the map on the Blog is called Zeno map)

I also tried to lock for lose ends:

Has anyone an idea, what the numbers at the end of the last patient file mean?
Where these password hints already solved?

Password 1: Everything Is Fine.
Password 2: We've Met Before.
Password 3: Time To Wake Up.

 		Oh boy, i got one!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The silver means the 30 silver pieces Judas got when he betrayed Jesus. He later gave it back and it was used to buy a field, the name of it is our password: pottersfield


This leads to this patient file:
Quote:
DE RAIS, JILL

History: Thanks to an well meaning therapist's prying after a profoundly traumatic event, Ms. De Rais began to "remember" events that did not happen. Periods of abuse, people she "met", things she did that were factually incorrect. Her memories were exposed as incorrect after an ill-timed accusation of a famous politician's "raping" her. She was quickly transferred to our facility for treatment.

Beakman's Notes: This young lady was indeed the victim of many attacks. Her therapist was paid off to smear her credibility. Granted, he didn't have much choice in the matter… I wonder what else we can "encourage" her to remember with the right nudging.
