You've been hard at work, Russell! I really need to brush up on these sorts of skills.
Reminder: In her Library Musings, Carina mentioned the first on campus meeting of Sparks Club occurs on March 22nd. Soon.

The one thing I haven't yet taken into account is colour. Mainly because that adds even more complexity :/

That's a compelling chart & beaut amount of work, Russell. Am hoping this helps when you're looking for a key....
Maybe the Magister used the Greek alphabet to indicate it's not only "pick-up" sticks but also some pick up on the Greek River Styx? Further pretty much clueless atm

In the source of the homepage at http://www.pergamumlibrary.com/ the image of the door is named: 6914451819.jpg.
This deciphers to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
finders (6=F,9=I,14=N,4=D, ...)
But I haven't found a use for that word yet.

Is there any chance of getting this on to its own board so we can make subtopics? Seems there are several different paths here as Anna has said in one of her recent Tweets:
Quote:
Fool's Children
@foolschildren
Dear Ones: These are not clues to the Pergamum Project. He is not me. That is another story, another class, another lesson.
It would give late-comers an easier way to catch up if we had Anna and Pergamum Project as subtopics.

Unlikely Cherry (the original game ran for 86 pages and only CF really gets its own subtopics these days) but you can always ask a moderator.
New tweet from pergamumproject:
Quote:
walk dont run to your nearest exit
With the word fire in matches.
Have tried various pages on the library website but no hits as yet.
(Such as fireescape.html, fire.html, muster.html etc)

I agree, Cherry, it would be handy if the forum was broken down as you described. Too bad it doesn't seem it will happen.
I sent an email to Carina of Library Musings today. I asked her if she was able to attend the first Spark Club meeting and if so if she might let me know how it went via email or her blog. Also asked her if she had any tips for how to gain access to the club.

Hi All. Pergamum twitter feed has a new pic. Sorta open to interpretation yet it appears to be Roman numerals I (1) and XVI (16). Maybe also a separate L (50)?

I took a more literal meaning and played the move matches around game. I noticed you could make "AOE" which is in the pergamum logo. Sadly not an html page though.
Edit** just got a getting warmer reply
OK so you may have noticed on twitter I got a little carried away on the matchsticks still nothinggot that unlocks a pergamumlibrary site yet.
Also am a little confused that the magister is dropping hints on Winters blake.html puzzle. I have now checked and they originally linked to blake.html but they have also confirmed they are not winter. So why do they have access to Winters site???

I see that with all the sites and characters this is getting a bit confusing
Winter is Fool's Children (not Anna)
Magister is Pergamum Project and Pergamum Library. He has the blake.html puzzle, not Winter.
I have no idea what to do with blake puzzle, so I'm just sitting here, giggling at Russell's matchstick words and waiting a reply to my poem

Agreed Elethemai I just don't understand why Magister would create a puzzle on Winters site "fools children" and not on their own "pergamum library". As a result I am not sure whether the matchsticks are a clue to the pickupsticks puzzle or a brand new puzzle for a link on the library. Amandel like yourself thinks it's all related to blake.html so I will go with the consensus Shame it wasn't a new puzzle as I was enjoying making random words as a break from Blake.html
Edit** OMG OMG OMG
I am such an idiot. Sorry for derailing I have no idea why I was so convinced that blake was on foolschildren!!!!! Ignore everything and I will go back to playing with matches.

PProject did say you are "Getting warmer"with AOE so back to work, you. Plus your matchsticks are so bril (can't even pick a fav) I'm still laffing like a loon.

Nice catch. Since you're a 'finder' you're a def (card)keeper. Often these easter-eggs (e.g. twitter Annas1918=AnnasAIR) don't lead on.TY for posting & Welcome to Uf.

Anna/ Fool's Children poetry Has anyone sent a poem to Anna? Curious if there were responses. I'm debating sending a haiku.
