 		free-association. its better to express ideas, no matter how stoopid they might seem, cos it frees you up to think about other ideas, also can spark things in other peoples minds.

 		Right, but you know that it is the numbers we need to focus on right? I mean, i know ive said it before, but seriously, since it is decided we need to make the spiral with the shapes, there are only 720 combinations. But there are several billion combinations of numbers we can try. So....
I really don't care about bizarre theories on the orders because thats what you thought when you had drank too much Stella. We've all had them!
I really think we need to focus on the numbers, as it is not obvious what they should be.

well to me it makes sense that perhaps the numbers and the order are connected, and so if they are, find one and it would lead to the other. what doesnt really make sense is restricting what is posted (obviously other than trout) because someone might just have an idea which however stupid it sounds ends up leading to the answer.

 		if you have a read through the two threads which deal with the symbols and numbers puzzle (symbols and numbers, and this one), that should answer your question.

 		Site numbers.
dont think anyone has mentioned this. But every email sent to us has a unsubscribe line. depending on which site we are refering to, it has a SID number.

S+S is SID: 1
HMFJ is SID: 9
HWAU is SID: 3

can anyone fill in the blanks

PTravel = ?
Marlowe = ?
Inferno = ?

We can assume THRoom has no SID, because it has no corresponding emails. But some of those other should. also that means there are nine email capable sites. Helpmefindjon.com is 9.

 		xardox, thanx for the interesting theory.
funny how these noobs keep randomly appearing and offering the most amazing possible solutions, when us old guys can't see the wood from the trees!

Following the SID thing
here's the list
1 S+S
2 Hornchurch star
3 HWAU
7 Pathway Travel
9 HMFJ
10 The Hiding Room

as far as I know no-one has received e-mails from marlowe, inferno cargo or trident air.

So logically we have three that havent sent back standard unsubscribe lines. But are definitely in game. But we have 4 empty spaces. Are we missing a site that might have some clues?

1 S+S
2 Hornchurch
3 HWAU

4,5,6 ?

7 Pathway Travel

8 ?

9 HMFJ
10 The Hiding Room

I know ive read that at least one person has gotten a message back from
Marlowe, hell the one that tells us to recheck the 'staring us in the face'
not to mention the mail that was an answer to the interview and had 1366 words. Did either of those have an SID on the email?

Could one of these missing sites be one of the identitys listed on Marlowedigital's site? Omni?

 		Ohhh, if someone helps me on how to locate SID numbers (i have no idea what it means) i can say if Marlowe has one and what it is. (They sent me that email remember?)

 		the SID number is in the 'unsubscribe' link at the bottom of the e-mail.

it has a long link, then "SID=" somewhere in it

My guess is that the first 7 SID numbers will be associated with the seven symbols (including the star) in the puzzle

This would give us

1 S+S SERPENT (?)
2 Hornchurch STAR
3 HWAU BUTTERFLY
4
5
6
7 Pathway Travel RAVEN
8
9 Help Me Find Jon
10 The Hiding Room

4,5 and 6 would be trident air, inferno cargo and marlowe, making up three remaing three symbols, TRIDENT, FIRE and DOG

We still have Omni, Ophis, Golden Futures and Options and Onethreesixsix to consider

And these are all the sites listed on the server

www.Afterdark-liverpool.com
