 		Handwriting
Hi everybody. First post here, and I am not a native English speaker, so bear with me for a while. Wink

The latest addition to the newspaper says we should focus on Jonīs handwriting. I guess the most distinctive feature is that Jon always writes in capital letters (as we saw in the ibidem clue). I did a little screening and found only two other messages in guestbooks that could be his; perhaps there are more. One is in Europa (UTTER BLISS. THANKS A MILLION) and the other one is in The Gray Lodge. Itīs the one starting with "Mina and I"...

Personally, I think this last one is worth some of our time. Specially because The Gray Lodge has the Butterfly Room (and we just got an email form Jon talking about the lepidoptera). And because Devilīs Island is where Papillon was shot (Papillon means butterfly in french; I donīt recall seeing this info around).

Well, thatīs my two cents. Good luck everybody!

If you look at the message, the "y" in year looks more like an "x" to me. Maybe it's nothing....

 		Typos:
Sounds like mistakes, typos etc. are also somehow significant. I'll try and compile a list tonight of the misspelt words I can find in the cache and in the flash pages from the travel site. If someone else with access has the motivation, go to it! Smile

One other thought.. I believe the anagram (a.ragman etc.) is indeed probably portman, but there are a few anagrams that come out of 'program not up' that have the word 'rug' in them. Also, the rug is the same in the hiding room as in the photo at S&S. I've tried clicking/pulling on those rugs to no avail, so I think this is just...

Paralysis by Overanalysis. Smile

I just did that exact thing with the cache, however could no longer find any misspelt words in there (using the new and improved password Very Happy) I'm sure I saw a couple yesterday, especially in the septt/Oct updates... Oh well maybe I'm just too tired to see them now.

And yes,I'm also a new poster, I have been following this forum for a couple of days though, just never had anything to post (also was fearing the dreaded "WE'VE COVERED THAT A 1000 TIMES" response a bit Laughing )

 		The Ninth Gate and our guest book
This is my first post...I've been following for a while...I have no idea if this analysis is correct or I'm reading too much into this but...

Jon's journal links to "The Ninth Gate" in an early entry. So I rented it last night. Basic plot is a book collector wants to compare his copy of "The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows" to the only other two in existence to verify authenticity. The book is supposed to conjur up Satan if you read the clues in it correctly (as a side note, the cover of the book is a big STAR). So, a man looking for a rare, old book. Nice similarities. The book was supposed to be co-authored by Lucifer...but the part that caught my attention was the "human" author was a guy named Aristidem Torchiam. I immediately remembered the Guest Book from Asgard/Valhalla with all the numbers. At the bottom it has A.............. T.............. I had wondered before if that was a "signature". Anyway, all the other clues from the guest books always come out as "No password" or Red Herring, but this one says there are clues EVERYWHERE. So, I would think A.............. T............ is supposed to be a clue. Again, could be a big stretch, but I thought I'd post to see if anyone could do something with that.

 		Nice!
Good thought, regardless if it's valid or not. Smile I was wondering if the number of periods after the letters was significant.

1) The A... T... might just stand for All is not... Thcrc (from the number cipher).

2) Maybe it is a reference to Torchiam. If so, it's time to google or something to find a connexion tween the All is not seems quote and Torchiam.

I had the same thing initially, here's how to access the flashbooks: in the lower right corner of each destination you see a square with the logo of the local hotel, move your mouse over the lower right corner and it turns into a hand, press mouse1 and keeping it pressed move mouse from right to left and you'll "turn the page"

Happy reading Smile

 		Location Names
Hi there. New to this forum i want to thank all those marvellous contributors. really great things you find out.

one thing i just remarked - do not know if important.

the initials of the destinations might be of importance:

Devils Island
Babel
Nazca
Asgard
Elysian Fields
Other

Let's take them all:

D I B N A E F O

Maybe an anagramm hidden in here?

All I found was:

"BIND A FOE"

Sounds as mystical and biblical as the style of the whole stories...

Is Pathway travel the site that binds?

Don't know - but would like to Cool

Cheers

 		Hilbert
another little remark.

all the mathematical stuff in Babel, Hilbert's Hotel.

David Hilbert is the founder of a theory of "infinite space" - trespassing the limits of the "Euclidian" (three-dimensional) space.

Haven't found an entry here to this topic till now. Therefore this remark.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_space

And the guestbook entry in babel:
"Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."
is from Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus logico-philosophicus.
It is actually the last sentence of this book dealing with mathematical logic.

Maybe this gives a hint for new riddles to solve.
Don't know.
But am trying on.

 		the worth of a thing is what it will bring: found in Valhalla guestbook, and the philosophy of S+S

could it be Shucks handwriting? perhaps there is more of this handwriting...


then i found: Amamnesis rooms in Elysian fields.....

amamnesis is that you remember something from the past which you were forgotten.... isnt this a nice place for jon to get his memories back? coz we know he sold them.....

HOW ABOUT BONA FIDE !!!

Made or carried out in good faith; sincere: a bona fide offer.
Authentic; genuine: a bona fide Rembrandt. See Synonyms at authentic
