And you would be correct, sir!

Reminds me of a puzzle at Search 4E, we only had a certain amount of time on a certain day to access the vault. If we failed, we had to wait until the next opportunity.

Perhaps this society has access blocked except for every 7th day. We have to get as far as possible and keep track of the required elements so others can do the same.

 		This might be a repeat of something someone already said, but I got a call from my mother today. I asked her about the Fleur de Lis and a Seventh Son of a seventh son and she said that....
The fleur de lis is supossed to be based off a toad (synonym for a French man) being squeezed by that band that goes round the middle. Something like that.
And the seventh son legend is particularly strong in Ireland and the Seventh Son was meant to have healing powers.

Anyway, that may have been said, but there ya go.

I believe this is a little more accurate

Taken FromThis Website: wrote:

Legend :
The English translation of "fleur-de-lis" (sometimes spelled "fleur-de-lys") is "flower of the lily." This symbol, depicting a stylized lily or lotus flower, has many meanings. Traditionally, it has been used to represent French royalty, and in that sense it is said to signify perfection, light, and life. Legend has it that an angel presented Clovis, the Merovingian king of the Franks, with a golden lily as a symbol of his purification upon his conversion to Christianity. Others claim that Clovis adopted the symbol when waterlilies showed him how to safely cross a river and thus succeed in battle.

Heraldry
In the twelfth century, either King Louis VI or King Louis VII (sources disagree) became the first French monarch to use the fleur-de-lis on his shield. English kings later used the symbol on their coats of arms to emphasize their claims to the throne of France. In the 14th century, the fleur-de-lis was often incorporated into the family insignia that was sewn on the knight's surcoat, which was worn over their coat of mail, thus the term, "coat of arms." The original purpose of identification in battle developed into a system of social status designations after 1483 when King Edmund IV established the Heralds' College to supervise the granting of armor insignia.




and just to correct it, and so you hopefully never say it again, the VERY NEGATIVE NAME for a frenchman is a frog, not a toad.

 		And today, at 5:30p PST, the background color is blue. No active link. Yet. Maybe we have to try at a certain time of day??? It was shown active at 6:30p PST the first time, and yesterday someone noticed it "active" at around the same time (although the links were 404).

 		SS spec
Today Enaxor and I were talking and she speced that the child buried under the very old gravestone at CMH (the seat of insanity), who we know to be a seventh son from the inscription on the gravestone, might have been killed by a jealous sibling and that sibling was cursed for his deed.

There has been a lot of spec that the Seventh Sons (SS) might be an evil group of seventh sons who are perpetrating mass murders over the decades and might be behind the killers at TT. BUT, from everything we have read about seventh sons they seem to be blessed. They are considered lucky. They have healing powers. They are good. It's possible the SS are a benevolent group of seventh sons who are trying to stop the cursed killer of one of their own.

I was wondering about the possiblity of an immortal serial killer on the loose but I think it more likely that the spirit of the person who killed that 7 yr old seventh son in cambridge in 1839 is responsible for possessing people and making them kill. I think it's obvious he is trying to cause some kind of transformation but right now I don't have a clue about that.

Oh....maybe that kid was the first sacrifice? A seventh son killed at the age of seven. That's very symbolic. Maybe whoever killed him started something terrible and evil, hoping for some transformation.

 		Tonight the background is that bright green color.
Any chance there is a "move the symbol" link (like when we moved Jaimie's handwritten note to find something else)?

 		Hiya, im new to this, having found this entire thing out just tonight, so please excuse me if I say anything you already know, but i'll do my best not to do that.

Someone in another post about the www.iaminvisible.com link mentioned the name of the blade for the image in the center. I'd like to also point out, in here since its also with this link, the logo in the center, if turned sideways, looks much like that blade would. I dont know if there's some kind of link there, or what.

The list of names from the third webmasters file are all male, even though we do know of female contestants who were on Dread House. If Dashcat's spec is right, maybe the sacrifices of seventh sons didn't stop with that first kid.

 		Why did they target Michael Cypher? Does Jaimie have 6 other brothers? We need to ask her (or we'll have to ask Ron if she is not able to access her email).
