Noticed that the graph is 13x13. If you add the two sides up you get 26...perhaps each side of the graph represents part of an alphabet and you use the coordinates to make words?


very good observation jimmy!

the 13th letter of the alphabet is M and the 14th is N, M-N is the origin of the graph.

so what do the points plot out? first we need to think, when u plot points on a graph or u find points on a graph, what do u do with them usually?
there are alot of things u do with plotted points, but i cant seem to remember them. ill edit this point soon with more info of what im thinking of...

just now in #excavation we reached a breakthrough, thank both me and maxim for this. i cant copy it and the begining of the convo was cut off, but maxim is going to post

edit:

01:30 PM <Maxim922> they must be turned into letters?
01:30 PM <Maxim922> 13x13?
01:30 PM <craze3> we need more info gian, we're all stumped
01:30 PM <Maxim922> the grid was 13x13
01:30 PM <Maxim922> ie; 26 letters
01:30 PM <Gianaurd> Yes and the co-ordinates

he says that the evil one is coming. the evil ones name is The Gatemaster.
remember the clue, "i am the gatemaster"? and the blood on the wall isnt human either, its the gatekeepers blood! (most likely, think about it!)

He said the gatekeeper is making his way out of the portal. The gatekeeper is obviously the guy whos kidnapping all these people. he said that the numbers on the wall and the coords are a different puzzle. and that the coords need to be used. we're most likely need to turn it into words.

Gianaurd has let us know that the Gatemaster will contact us, and that we must not fall for him. He also said the puzzle must first be solved, and that they are unrelated:

Quote:
09:31 PM <Gianaurd> I can tell you that the numbers on the wall is a seperate puzzle
09:32 PM <Maxim922> ah!
09:32 PM <Gianaurd> You will contact me soon, I assure you
09:32 PM <Maxim922> thank you!


It also appears some sort of portal has been opened at the excavation site, and that evil forces akin with the Devil may be trying to 'escape'.

Craze the puzzle was 'I am the Gatemaster', not gatekeeper. I also think Sam meant it could be something other than a human's blood. I don't think we know it was the gatemaster's do we? And is it him coming out of this 'portal'?

The puzzle, just for the record, is:

1) 2-16-9-12-25-3-21-5

This one is separate from..

2) the coordinates of the graph:

(1,3)(2,4)(5,4)(6,6)(10,13)

I suggest one person takes each puzzle, rather than struggle on both.

another thing to remember! the first 2 murders, their cars where set on fire!!

Quote:

the car they used to travel from work in was found about half way between the excavation site and their homes, and it had been set alight


devil + hell = fire, DUH!

another reason to believe that the gatemaster is behind this!

Thought this was interesting, Gianaurd is an anagram for GUARDIAN.

I was just looking through the co-ordinates of the graph cause gianaurd said something about them. I was thinking that each grid reference could be a sum or something

(1x3)(2x4)(5x4)(6x6)(10x13)?? + - / ??

I haven't come up with anything good yet maybe someone else can have a shot.

Has anyone noticed that if you take the numbers written in blood and correspond them to letters of the alphabet, which I know has been done by someone else, when you get BPILYCUE, using one accross, one of the possible cryptos is "YOURSELF". Yourself again? Just a coincidence? Could our friend Dodge have dual personalities ala "Fight Club"???????

I've also tried turning the graph on it's side, thinking that whoever left the desks and chairs, etc in that fashion would want you to decode it from the door entrance, but I just keep getting different numbers that almost ROT into something that makes sense, but not quite.
