 		Apparently Gavin gave up on us finding his WW1 "motto"
https://gravitypapers.wordpress.com/2014/11/21/tunnel-2/

And a new blog entry

 		Heyas! There are a couple of new blog entries.....

One leads to http://archive.gravitypapers.com/level-four.html which is picture of Abraham Lincoln's (16th American President) Pocket Watch. Usable Link?

 		Hi all,

Just getting started with Gravity Papers.
Trying to put my 2 cents in Smile

So, the song on Laura's podcast is Finding Our Way In The Dark by Quietly Concerned. I don't know if that is an important link in our quest, but I thought I would mention it. Especially because it is a weird song 'about' a somewhat puzzling subject, if any.. Last Words are "Who do you think I am?"

It all seemed a bit of a link-y part.. Smile

 		Just a few thoughts

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Trench + World War I = Trench Warfare.
The site that Gavin gives us in the canary motto WWI post is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_and_let_live_%28World_War_I%29
The word Trench is mentionned on this page, also the mention of a book by Tony Ashworth. Maybe we can look in that direction...

 		Oh man.. Here I am looking and looking, way too much into things.. The Trench password is so obvious.. damn.. :

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
liveandletlive


Which gives us:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Trench
Interesting fact: In World War I, "Live and Let Live" was actually a system of conflict avoidance in Trench Warfare. Where did WWI Begin?


And well..

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It started in Sarajevo. Which became the capital of Drina Province. Now it is the capital of Bosnia Herzegovina. See.. Capital.. "Where did WWI Begin".. oh.. a Capital B..


[EDIT]: Spoilers added Wink

 		Elements Challenge
I have a theory on the Elements Challenge.
Since we get the:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
there are nine people in nine places
that broke time and space and all
the kings horses and all the kings men working together
might put it back together again to save the world
but it starts with three

I think he needs us, or nine people to get him those nine elements.
There are four elements already.
And it starts with 'three' : The third prime:

- Mercury
- Argon
- Krypton
- Platinum.. since the comic is Platinum..

I say we need 5 more..
And lets put some numbers with it, who knows what that might do:
........................Group
- Mercury....Hg 80 12
- Argon.......Ar 18 18
- Krypton....Kr 36 18
- Platinum...Pt 78 10

 		Gavin just posted my Element.

I had a whole theory on why it would be that one, but I had a few theories.. I don't remember why I sent in this one.. I'm gonna dig deep down in my brain to get it back.

The clue I got was "museum"

If we put together the pieces of the puzzle we finally get the Tour password:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
smithsonian

The Lincoln Watch is in the Smithsonian. Museum and Tour, well that made it extra clear.
The post underneath is was:
"To find the Immortal One, we have to collect ten clues from ten famous museums, starting with The Smithsonian Institution.
Where at the Smithsonian do we begin?"

That's as far as I got for now..
Gavin did post a tweet,, but it probably has to do with them going to the Smithsonian.

 		Nice job on the Tour solve Spikey!
I did try that, but with a cap "S", so we'll have to watch for that in the future.
Gavin's new Twitter is about the next stop, https://gravitypapers.wordpress.com/2014/12/22/detroit-clue/ and seems to lead to the
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Spirit of St. Louis replica at the Henry Ford Museum. http://www.thehenryford.org/exhibits/heroes/recordbreakers/spirit.asp


(I think this "Museum Tour" explains why Gavin wanted to know what cities we players lived nearby.)

 		Thank you, booba!
Yes, I have tried 'capitals' too..
But I came to the conclusion that Gavin probably (to keep it simple/easy) only uses lower case in his passwords. Think we should keep that in mind with the next ones Smile

I did send in another Element and it got through, just got an email that my entry will be added and I will get a clue shortly.

In case you want to know beforehand:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Sulphur


And well done on the next stop!
I found that earlier too, the number in the clue:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
42819274301928
Ryan B-1 flew from 4-28-1927 to 4-30-1928

 		Well, new tweets, clues and posts of Gavin.
Not too difficult this one.

Spoiler alert:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Another name for Sirius:
Well, since Gavin was in the Lindbergh exhibit, he saw another plane. The Lockheed Sirius, which is next to the Spirit.
This Lockheed Sirius was also called Tingmissartoq.
Meaning "one who flies like a big bird"

It's funny that Doug was 'hovering' around Sirius, because the star Sirius is als called the Dog star..
Sound like each other!

Password for the new post is tingmissartoq.
No capitals again ..

 		The only thing I about TJH I could find was that it stood for Tajima Airport, a small airport in Japan. I highly doubt that this is relevant ina any way, but... just dumping it here, I guess.
