I also followed the guide to the letter...the 6th time I had a round without the *. It is the worst score i ever had, 15/9.

And all the assessments afther this one the same score 15/9


After taking so many tests in one day, your assessment drops to 15/9 for one reason or another. But I do believe if you wait 24 hours or so, you can take the test again and get an "accurate" score.

I'm trying for a week now to get an accurate score, so finally i got an assessment without the '*'...

How long did it take you to get an "accurate" score, and did you get an email? Do you have a contract now?

I was thinking when i have a contract, i can book the same trips we think Jon made in his search to the book of star..

(sorry for my English)

Actually, I think the highest I've gotten is around a 75 or so - I forget. And no, as far as I know, none of us have gotten pass the assessment round and received a contract. Maybe next week if we're lucky...

Transaction: This is serious folks! Don't mess about with this!

so since there is a change in format and style, and his contract was services, not currency I have doubts that's an in game post

Good?

Okay, i've been following this for a while now but only recently started using this forum... (v.good btw Wink )

Anyway's, i finally got around to taking the assesment and i got 80 for my soul worth and 50 for my derivitive, this is the first time i've ever taken the test so i'm either really lucky, or it prefers first timers with the questions it gives you. I've heard the you need 80 or above to be offered so, thats good right? I can't seem to find anyone whos actually succsesfully done this yet...

Also, it still let me re-asses if i wanted to, but i didn't. Do i just have to wait for the e-mail now?

Chibbon.

thoughts about the table on the services of inferno cargo website

It says about services and commodities and how long you can expect to wait for them.

Say if you have a pure soul and you pick flight and travel tour options your eta will be 6 ( this can be hours days month years according to each contract) .Say this is what john had and he only had to wait 6 days for his 'estimated time of arrival'.

Jon wrote that he signed his contract on the diary entry of the 23rd October but really it was the 25th of October (the days were out on his journal - e.g he wrote that he recieved an email from sable & shuck on fri 13th aug but entered it on the 11th aug.)

So I am therefore deducing that he only had to wait till the 31/10/04 as stated on his receipt which is 6 days!!

If you look at the soul derivative eta for flight and travel it is 54. I believe this is how long jon has got in days before his option runs out. If you count 54 days from 31 October we arrive at 24 december. Or maybe from 25th october we arrive at 19th December!! - Could these dates be significant

If you look at the soul derivative from currency it is only 6

Mail from Jon

Just got a mail from Jon:

Congratulations, you have solved at least part of the hiding room and proved yourself to be a worthy ally in the fight against the man in black.


You should be able to discover more in my updated journal. Be advised, ibidem is not sufficient, for it leads to as much error as truth (although mistakes can be extremely revealing).


The new cache password should be easy for any of my old friends and Lepidoptera protectors to work out.


Mutatis mutandis

Mail from S&S

Just got a new email from Sable & Shuck

Login ID xxxxxxxx


Following my initial analysis of your assessment, it is my duty to inform you that you have not yet achieved an acceptable worth value. Until you reach such a level, we are unable to issue a contract and are thus unable to furnish you with any luxurious goods or services.

However, you are permitted to take the test as many times as you wish. Perhaps you should answer more honestly next time. Furthermore, you may be pleased to know that a charitable act may also increase your worth. If you wish to undertake such an act we advise you to visit http://www.helpmefindjon.com


The Director of Acquisitions

Note: Sable & Shuck reserve the right to terminate proceedings at any stage prior to the signing of the contract. Whilst the assessment tool is not infallible, Sable & Shuck's collective judgement is beyond any error.

Very cool, Jopra - My initial assumption is that this new email has something to do with Devil's Island - and the Grey Lodge with the Butterfly Suite. In the Flash Book, I noticed that "Mina and I had a quietly elegant time" is mentioned, Mina being Jonathan Harker's fiance/wife in the stories of Dracula.

I also watched "Papillon", the Jonathan Glazer-directed Stella commercial from 2003 on the Stella Artois site. No reference to butterflies, but the main character, Didier, protects his Stella until he is thrown into solitary and can enjoy it in private.

I love new clues.

1. Have you looked at Jon's site to find out why butterflies are important?

2. Have you looked at the "Greek" in the Sable & Shuck TOS to find out why butterflies are important?

3. Have you looked at the "Useful Link" on the August 13th entry of the Cache and looked up Jon? Did you notice what team he belonged to?

4. Have you done a search for "butterfly" or "butterflies" on UF? Did you find anything of value?

If after you've done all of those things and you still don't understand about the butterflies, then feel free to post again, or private message me and I'll walk you through it.
