General Hello

Hi all,

I'm new to the game today and am thrilled to find another of these multisite puzzlers. I first got addicted to these things when Push, Nevada came on air and haven't been able to find another like it since. Thankfully this game led to me to this message board and now I have an abundance of things to waste my non-existent spare time.
Hallelujah and I'll do my best to contribute.

I think Krafte meant that the demon offered to serve Faust for as long as Faust lived, but in exchange the demon took Faust's soul in payment after his death.

That's correct.

I was not being that serious, Embarassed
I was more frustrated than looking for a clue.

No offence though, and none taken either. Cool

Another general musing ...

Just a thought ...
I've checked the forum and I haven't seen this posted before. In the horoscopes on the Hornchurch site, it states:

As the sandglass reminds us, time is always running out.
It's time you turned the sandglass around and lived for today.

Do you think that we are being too literal with it or, perhaps, not literal enough?

Instead of flipping the picture of the sandglass, what if we were to take the word "sandglass" and flip it around?
We would get :

ssel6pues or 55e16pue5

I'm not sure if I'm reading too deep into it but it looks like it could be a password to me.

I remember after seeing the page in the guest book with Daniel 5 written on it, I read this passage in the King James version of the bible.

Daniel 5:5 "In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote."

This is, more than likely, of no importance but I just thought that is was mildly amusing after the video message was sent.

has anyone noticed what it says in the pathway site, under babel, hilbert's, under : our facilities, it says easy access to the library and the tower, now maybe this is a clue refurring to the cache behind the bookshelf (library) and the upstairs door (tower), myabe just maybe there is really something to all this talk about hilbert's.

Picture Jon on HWAU

Hi all,

Can someone tell me where I can find the exact same crossroadspicture as we see on the background of Jon's picture on the HWAU site? See att.

I've just checked all pics about the crossroads I could remember: 8 x H* webcampics / all pics on Olaf Veltman's site / WHAU Sightings / Laptop in The Hiding Room... I just canīt find a match. Maybe Iīm stupid, but if we canīt find the same picture this must mean there are pics we do not know of.

THX

Janis x

EDIT: forgort the att.

you are right!
i checked them all for you, and did not find a match....
so there must be another one....

but, in theory, olaf could make a personalized pic for jon harker, or perhaps jon won this pic in a contest. but that is only in theory.

we should be able to find the pic on the internet!

Interestingly, the stories about Jon in the H* use the same pic... in better quality!
http://www.hornchurchstar.com/news_story3.php
http://www.hornchurchstar.com/news_story4.php

Edit: There are more pics by Olaf of that location for sure, like: http://www.postershop.com/Veltman-Olaf/Veltman-Olaf-Tornado-Watch-2407160.html

Yeah, noticed that too. On helpmefindjon.com ("about Jon" sub) the same picture is used also, although the background is erased.

ALright. As far as I can see:

Things we have wiggling room to work on:

1. Phrenology stuff for the Sable & Shuck test. Also, has anyone tried seeing if they can get a hundred now that Brigid's on the trail?
2. The Friends Reunited thing. Those of you who are members: any luck on Jessica Rickson? Any luck on tracing Jon's genealogy? Or looking on the Butterfly messageboard?
3. Possibly tracking down this new crossroads.
4. We figured out Sable and Shuck is opening their new office, any word further on that?
5. I think there is more to get from the back of the photo than just a video.
6. Analysis of the video. What is the logical conclusion?
7. Jon's contract.
8. Peel Castle? Anything about it?
9. Meak's six-at-once texting thing?

That's all I can think of. Anyone else?

been searching for brigid, and the asphodel in the pathwaytravelpages, in europa...

found this:

http://www.cauldronfarm.com/asphodel/

i dont know how trustworthy this stuff is...

but at first i thought that asphodel was some kind of flower, well it isnt.
then allover the frontpage: brigid and IMBOLC...februari 6, 5 p.m

guess that could be an important update date....as stated many many times in the forums...but now we have an actual time and hour to wait for hehe...

5 pm in america is 12 midnight in england i guess, correct me if im wrong

First of, if anyone is looking for some kind of musical passwod or whatever, both the aleph and the star, next to tarot-signs are musicnotes;
E natural(aleph, fool) and A sharp(tzaddi, star).

I'm not that much of a musical wizkid, but if there are any, i think you should work from here.


On a totally different note and i know i might be going out on a limb here.
What if Jon isn't all what "it seems" (as in the letters-thingy).

What if indeed Jon has hooved feet and is in fact himself a servant of Big S. What if he has different plans than he is telling the world and Brigid in fact is trying to stop him from let's say, harvesting all human souls. But in an attempt not to alarm everybody, she needed tot tell lies and set up this whole charade.

The movie, ie. the hooved feet, the black garments and the bloody hand that isn't his, all point in this direction. Why else should he and Brigid be present where someone else is signing a contract.
Maybe this means we shouldn't just trust Jon and give him all our findings.

Then again, I just might have seen too many X-files-episodes and he might just be sitting in some obscure bar in Leuven, drinking Stella cheaper than in London...
