"Happy New Year!

I hope things are good; wherever you are in the world.

Here at Hornchurch we've just about recovered from the holiday season. Still, there's no rest for the wicked - we've been frantically updating our site for you. Why not check it out?

Duty calls,

According to previous thread, the horoscope for this month used to be:

Aquarius: Jan 20 - Feb 18

The stars can teach you many things. For example, Ophis is Greek for snake.

Now it reads:


Aquarius:
Jan 20 - Feb 18
The stars still teach you many things: A loved one will propose at dawn on the 21st. If you're on time you should accept.

Is dawn literal - at sunrise tomorrow (if so, its 7:53 am GMT for London)?

Or figurative - start of a new day, i.e. midnight GMT?

And where on earth do we go to look for said proposal?

The UNKLE cd has been there all along. There is however a minor update to at least one of the other signs -

Capricorn: Dec 22 - Jan 19

The worth of a thing is what it will bring. It's nearly time to discover exactly what your true value is.

has changed to:

Capricorn:
Dec 22 - Jan 19
The worth of a thing is what it will bring. Did you discover what your true value was?

Does anyone have a full list? I can't recall the libra one saying what it does now.

cheers,
Pete

ooooH!

something actually happened!

OK, so A LOVED ONE will propose at dawn of the 21st.

my guess is that we will be able to pick up the phone on Jon's desk at thehidingroom.com

but who will it be? Brigid? Mina? The Devil? Jon?

or could it be that sable and shuck will 'propose' we sign a contract?

oh dear, I have an exam tomorrow! hope it doesn't mean literally at dawn, cos that's at about 5am!

anyway, i ran a quick anagram of A LOVED ONE to see if there's a hidden name (just in case!) -

DAVE LEO NO
NOEL A DOVE
ADELE NOVO
DAN EVE LOO
DONA EVE LO
LEONA DOVE
EVA NOODLE

Don't think any of them will be ringing!
(actually, it would be funny if Eva Noodle proposed)

any ideas anyone?

hey everyone

hey guys.

been lurking for a while now (think i posted last in december) due to being at home with a 56k modem and no leads.

now im back with broadband and...still no leads Smile

the hornchurch updates seem to suggest we should have discovered our soul worth or at least hint that that is where we should continue looking. i reassessed my soul again (a great 40 theta...im not worthy :p) just incase they were now going to start replying.

it says that we have to be on time for this dawn proposal, do you think this is a way of seperating the truly devoted? do i really have to get up at stupid o' clock just to maybe answer a fone? if anyone is up can you share anything you find please Very Happy im thinking maybe a dawn update of help me find jon by the way...if she is his sister then she's a loved one, maybe she's got a new proposal for us...maybe we're all set to have a mass marriage to brigid? lol

anyways im off, if i work anything out i'll see u all at dawn...

laters

OK folks, here's the plan

Check out when sunrise is tomorrow
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?links=

In london it's at 7.55 am.

It would be great if at least a few of us were up and ready to check e-mails / answer the phone on jon's desk / check all game-related sites.
We need to be there on time, because it sounds like there may only be a small window of oppurtunity here.

Anything could happen!

We have no idea in what form this 'proposal' is going to come in, so we need to be prepared! (I don't think they'll be ringing our home phones, because as far as I know, we haven't given our numbers out!)

Also, we should have a new thread ready and waiting for any new information that happens tomorrow morning. people should only post NEW, accurate information, this way we can solve whatever needs solving quickly.

Set your alram clocks chaps, tomorrow's the big day!

Ok, we'd better not miss the dawn in London, but it's the Hornchurch star, so I'm hoping they actually mean sunrise there.
I might be more awake in the early afternoon Smile

Time

I assume this game is running in GMT? If so, dawn will come mighty early for me in NY. Not sure how well getting up that early will go over with my wife!! Mr. Green

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...

Yeee Hahhh, halleluyah, revelations jubilations; diddle dee dee de dee

somethings happenningg!

re the phone - as this is a multi media game, has anyone thought of possibility that we may actually get a "recorded message" or "text message" sent to our own phones, if we've given these details in any of the in-game sites

....maybe a slim chance but after the last entry in the Cache was posted on 21/12, I e-mailed JH as a "loyal supporter" & left mobile phone number "just in case" this was a possibility.. had given up on getting a reply - but now there may be a chance?

must remember to make sure phone charged up and "on" Wink

Proposals...

My guess is if you went and took the S&S test, then you'll be getting a proposal soon. I'm also on PST (Seattle), so will check around the sites tonight at midnight.

Other random thought. Any changes on the friends.co.uk site?

-D <-- behind the firewall at work, so can't check the sites Sad

Love the plan. I'm usually alive n kickin at 06.45h (GMT +1) so tomorrow I'll do that too (and it's my day off!! Shocked).
Will stay focussed al mornin', post every new and relevant info, make prt screens, record (if possible) voice/spoken messages - in short: I'll do everything I can... I think IŽm also going to stay tuned from now till 01.00h, youŽll never know...
I definitely do not want to miss the long-expected event. And if nothing's gonna happen: no problem - love the thrill and I've also got my Stella & Douwe Egberts..!

Good luck * Janis x
