 		Is it just me really hoping to find something new, or has the telephonescreen in the Hiding Room site changed it's color? It looks like the screen is "on" - with a light, like somebody just touched the buttons (or the phone is receiving a call/message).
Maybe the screen has been like this all the time and I'm just freakin out here.... If that's the case, feel free to remove this message, trout me, or consider this as non-posted...

 		The Proposal
Could by a way-off lead but kind of interesting.
Found this site regarding "proposal"

http://jyotisha.00it.com/Poruwa2.htm

It´s about dates that is Auspicious Dates for Marriage and guess what.. yep, 21st of January is one of´em....it´s a lot of Birth Star for the people getting married. You can find out your own Birth Star as well. Do we have Jons Birth Date and further on?? Sorry all, but I´m kinda new even though I posted some threads by now... Look at the site and see if you can find out more than I... need sleep... way too many hours with coffee now...

 		Phone screen also on?
Freaky__Janis, I also found this as an irker. I also didn't know whether I was trying too hard to notice new things. But this leaves me with a feeling: at the mark, we will be able to click on the phone to pick it up, or receive a text message, etc. However, I would bet on more things happening within the hiding room site; someone should take some notes of things before and after, to see what else has changed or what other things are available for clicking, etc.

London is GMT. Sunrise is 7:53 or 7:55, depending on what source you consult.

GMT is 8 hours ahead of Pacific time in the US, so that's 11:53PMish for me. Now to figure out what to be watching for at that time besides the phone...


Well, some random ideas:
- email, obviously; I don't consider the possibility of a real telephone call because no in-game site never asked us a phone number, as far as I recall, and even if a couple of guys emailed their phone numbers to Jon at some point, that would be quite a strange choice (contacting only 3 or 4 out of thousands of players). And yet there's the "contacting the loyals" bit... It IS indeed possible that only a part (maybe a big part, maybe not so big) of us will be contacted. So the question is: depending on what? The S+S test results? Or maybe those who did buy the Bunnybrigid stuff on Ebay? Or did sometnhing else? Question

- Maybe it's a long shot, but i'll keep an eye on http://www.jonharker.com/ . I kinda have a strange feeling about that.

- Less likely IMHO, but I still will have a look at the other in-game sites, in case something new comes up there, of course.

- Our Jon proved himself to be a superbly elusive guy, and the PMs are happily using for their purposes big "real" sites like Ebay and Friends Reunited. So I think Jon's "call" at dawn may be actually some kind of "split communication": one small clue, maybe a one-line mail, maybe even something in a public, in-game site, not hidden bud apparently innocuous, leading us to some other site not in-game, where the main part of the "call" will be. Unlikely, but we can't overrule anything.

- Finally (I'll keep for myself some other 1123581321 insane hypothesis) there's always the possibility that something will change\happen inside the Hiding Room NOT concerning the phone. Jon said the Cache was not going to be updated anymore and I think that's true, but still there's a lot of stuff in the place that is not interactive but COULD become so, including the apples and bottleopener, a couple of doors anc a tv-dvd set...

God i really could use some 15 hours of sleep. Well, not gonna happen.
5 hours left. Another coffee for me. No Stella here, unfortunately.

 		the date
i am i wrong guys, maybe i'm just over zealous about this but am i wrong in calculating the date from the "about hornchurch" peice in the newspaper,
the town was founded in 1702, and then its written in the next paragraph that "nearly 200 years later" isn't 1702+200=1902!!!! what the hell is that all about it says that round about 200 years afetr they started the place in the year 1908 they had 1366 people, can someone somehow run a check on the average popultion they would have today in 2004.

two things however, my maths could be wrong from the excitement and it could simply be a mistake on the part of the pm's.

um... no it's not

but you're right about the dates...

none of the numbers you have mentioned are fibonacci numbers

 		2 things about the Hornchurch star site
a couple of things regarding question marks we still have with this site and his clues:

1. Has anyone tried to post any message on the site ? I tried revealing
Jon's location we all reckon is so far (Peel castle, Isle of man). Still
hasn't got an answer (did it 15 minutes ago...).
2. Can anyone magnify Jon's laptop screen (which is on Hornchurch
star's site) ? There are also some folders opens on the screen - maybe
we could inderstand something of it - i'm not much of a programming
man so i don't have the correct equipment to zoom and clear this page.

Good luck !

 		Laptop screen
Should be tried by someone else (definitely), but when I magnified the laptop screen, it looked like most of the icons and writing had been intentionally blurred.

I'm really interested in the mysterious happenings that you've been reporting recently. I think it's a lot more sinister than you appreciate. Beware the man in black!



i never saw this before.....or am i wrong? please tell me im wrong!

 		Grutty!!!

when did you get decorated?

is that why you've got the piccie of King

there'll be no talking to you now

(scouse terminology......I think )

don't know if the above makes sense in normal english - it means "GOSH , aren't you the fancy one!" Wink

and "V jealous - did they give you a bit of red ribbon and glittery things; a medal, small bit of jewellery etc, a cosh on the head with a long swordy thing?"
