(11:00:19 PM) reeddeadpoems has entered the room.
DeathPrawn (11:00:25 PM): hi Reed!
pixieluvsnebula (11:00:33 PM): Greetings and salutations Reed.
TrigunPsycho (11:00:35 PM): welcome Reed
KarmicCrush (11:00:35 PM): Good evening, Reed.
thedrinkninja (11:00:37 PM): Hello!
Enaxor (11:00:37 PM): Welcome Reed
(11:00:40 PM) TX BA 535 has entered the room.
LOrgana1 (11:00:42 PM): hello :-)
darkphantasmo (11:00:50 PM): hello reed
dmax801 (11:00:51 PM): hello Mr. Singleton
reeddeadpoems (11:01:06 PM): Wow, this is so many more people than I expected! Where did you all come from??
pixieluvsnebula (11:01:26 PM): We are a group of amature investigators, i gues syou could say.
LOrgana1 (11:01:28 PM): here and there :-)
reeddeadpoems (11:01:29 PM): I thought I would send out invitations but I see somebody already beat me to it!
DeathPrawn (11:01:32 PM): what can we say, your book is quite popular among us investigators :-)
thedrinkninja (11:01:46 PM): Your book is good conversation, to say the least.
KarmicCrush (11:01:46 PM): As is your grandmother, and her gift.
thedrinkninja (11:02:26 PM): We're a fast bunch.
dmax801 (11:02:27 PM): did you have something that you wanted us to know, now that you've published your book and gotten so many comments?
KarmicCrush (11:02:45 PM): Do you have any statement you'd like to open with?
reeddeadpoems (11:02:53 PM): Oh, I'm so glad you all have been enjoying the book! I put a lot of effort into it, as I'm sure you realize. It's taken a great deal of time and energy, and I must say, it seems to have been received even better than I'd hoped.
dmax801 (11:03:09 PM): we appreciate the multiple formats. Thanks.
thedrinkninja (11:03:22 PM): It's beautiful, in its own dark way.
(11:03:45 PM) IdealInefficacy has entered the room.
(11:03:45 PM) IdealInefficacy has left the room.
reeddeadpoems (11:03:46 PM): We could start talking, if you'd like... you guys seem to have a group here, are we expecting anyone else?
TX BA 535 (11:03:56 PM): others will probably join as we go
pixieluvsnebula (11:04:10 PM): We aren't sure, but if the others join us, i will gladly aim them seperatly to catch them up to speed.
DeathPrawn (11:04:20 PM): yeah, we're all friends here :-)
reeddeadpoems (11:04:29 PM): Let's see if I can figure how to add people - I'm still getting individual messages here
pixieluvsnebula (11:04:39 PM): Did you have an agenda of things you wanted to touch on? or would you like us to ask questions?
(11:04:40 PM) IdealInefficacy has entered the room.
DeathPrawn (11:04:56 PM): Reed: right click on their names and click "Send Chat Invitation"
thedrinkninja (11:05:08 PM): In the buddy list window.
TrigunPsycho (11:05:21 PM): or under people during the chat if they're not on your budylist
(11:05:26 PM) Flidget has entered the room.
reeddeadpoems (11:06:15 PM): Wow, so many familiar names.
reeddeadpoems (11:06:42 PM): I recognize Karmic, and Mr. Max... Enaxor I think... wow, so many of you
Enaxor (11:07:10 PM): Yes I've written you several times
reeddeadpoems (11:07:15 PM): I guess we can start - I don't see anyone else joining us.
KarmicCrush (11:07:17 PM): We've been quite interested in your book for quite awhile book.
pixieluvsnebula (11:07:19 PM): I've emailed you from the screen name Deaddest, about your grandmother's gift, and my sharing of it.
thedrinkninja (11:07:20 PM): The book has sparked the interest of some of my friends. Of course, they read it mostly for a cheap scare. You know how it is, the ghost story taking away from the humanity of the writing. Very sad.
DeathPrawn (11:07:29 PM): true, true.
reeddeadpoems (11:08:05 PM): There are a few things I want to cover, but from the e-mails I've received recently, it's apparent that my readers have a number of questions themselves. I thought I'd start by opening the floor to you all first as a courtesy.
KarmicCrush (11:08:08 PM): Well, I think many of us would like to know a bit more about your grandmother Ann, and her time writings while in the Cambridge Hospital.
thedrinkninja (11:08:41 PM): I for one am interested in a certain Ed House, a doctor at the hospital. Do you know anything about him?
reeddeadpoems (11:08:50 PM): I assume you've read the information in the book and on the webpage?
TX BA 535 (11:09:13 PM): yes, that is a fair assumption
pixieluvsnebula (11:09:17 PM): Perhaps we can hit one question at a time, so as not to overwhelm poor Reed.
reeddeadpoems (11:09:22 PM): That would be helpful
TrigunPsycho (11:09:24 PM): I was unable to purchase the book, but I have scowerd the webpage
reeddeadpoems (11:09:25 PM): Thanks!
thedrinkninja (11:09:28 PM): Yes, my apologies.
thedrinkninja (11:09:36 PM): I'll retract it for now.
(11:09:48 PM) dmax801 has left the room.
reeddeadpoems (11:09:54 PM): who's fisrt?
pixieluvsnebula (11:10:02 PM): KC?
KarmicCrush (11:10:10 PM): Thank you.
DeathPrawn (11:10:14 PM): yeah, KarmicCrush asked first, so lets tackle that question first
reeddeadpoems (11:10:23 PM): Great - what was the exact question?
KarmicCrush (11:11:15 PM): Well, I think many of us would like to know a bit more about your grandmother Ann, and her time and writings while in the Cambridge Hospital. Is there anything left you haven't published, and for what reasons?
(11:11:41 PM) spaceboy1337 has entered the room.
reeddeadpoems (11:11:47 PM): Well, there are some fragments of poems that weren't complete enough to be published in the book - you've already seen one of those in the online images.
reeddeadpoems (11:12:12 PM): I tell you what - you seem so interested, would you like me to put some of those up on the website as well?
TrigunPsycho (11:12:21 PM): That would be great
thedrinkninja (11:12:22 PM): Yes, please.
DeathPrawn (11:12:24 PM): that would be fantastic
reeddeadpoems (11:12:26 PM): I think that's probably the #1 most e-mailed question I've had.
KarmicCrush (11:12:28 PM): That would be marvelous.
TX BA 535 (11:12:29 PM): um... yes :-)
reeddeadpoems (11:12:55 PM): Alright then.
TX BA 535 (11:13:06 PM): thanks Reed, we look forward to reading them!
reeddeadpoems (11:13:08 PM): I'll see what I can do while we're talking here.
pixieluvsnebula (11:13:29 PM): Oh, how wonderous! no hurry on our account however, i hope.
reeddeadpoems (11:13:35 PM): Other than that, I don't really have much else with regard to additional writings.
Enaxor (11:13:37 PM): Do you have anymore artwork that you could put on the website as well?
reeddeadpoems (11:14:06 PM): There may be some miscellaneous pieces, but not too much - I included most of it in the book already because it really went well with the material.
reeddeadpoems (11:14:34 PM): Mr. Drinkninja, you had a question?
thedrinkninja (11:15:11 PM): Thank you very much. I for one am interested in a certain Ed House, a doctor at the hospital. Do you know anything about him?
reeddeadpoems (11:15:45 PM): Some of you guys have e-mailed me about him and sent me to a few websites about the hospital, but other than what you guys have already shown me, I have never heard of the guy.
thedrinkninja (11:15:59 PM): One moment.
reeddeadpoems (11:16:09 PM): Is he related to that new television show I saw previews for the other day?
(11:16:19 PM) dmax801 has entered the room.
TX BA 535 (11:16:22 PM): which show would that be?
thedrinkninja (11:16:25 PM): I have a question though about a certain... Wait, what?
DeathPrawn (11:16:28 PM): previews? what exactly did you see?
thedrinkninja (11:16:34 PM): Show?
reeddeadpoems (11:16:36 PM): something Dr. House MD, I think
thedrinkninja (11:16:41 PM): Oh.
thedrinkninja (11:17:03 PM): That seems unrelated. Could you garner any plot from the preview?
pixieluvsnebula (11:17:06 PM): Where did you see this preview?
DeathPrawn (11:17:14 PM): Dr. Gregory House on Fox?
DeathPrawn (11:17:20 PM): http://www.fox.com/house/
TX BA 535 (11:17:23 PM): I'm assuming you mean "House"
reeddeadpoems (11:17:24 PM): Just flipping channels, boy, you guys took that joke a little seriously :-)
thedrinkninja (11:17:31 PM): Haha.
pixieluvsnebula (11:17:34 PM): Ah, sorry.
darkphantasmo (11:17:35 PM): lol
DeathPrawn (11:17:37 PM): heh
KarmicCrush (11:17:39 PM): he
thedrinkninja (11:17:41 PM): Very clever.
spaceboy1337 (11:17:45 PM): hehe
reeddeadpoems (11:17:52 PM): that was the show I meant though, yes Mr. Prawn
Enaxor (11:18:16 PM): Mr. Singleton, what do you mean you've never heard of Dr. House? Didn't you include him in your book?
reeddeadpoems (11:18:51 PM): I mention him briefly, but I only know him peripherally.
reeddeadpoems (11:19:00 PM): You guys have given me a lot more info than I ever had.
Enaxor (11:19:18 PM): He sounded like quite the monster
thedrinkninja (11:19:25 PM): In particular, though, there's an image we've seen with Ed House. He was wearing it as a badge. It looks a bit like a circle with a sword in the center with two curves facing outward next to it. Would you know anything about it?
TX BA 535 (11:19:26 PM): but you said you had never heard of the guy before us
DeathPrawn (11:19:27 PM): just out of curiosity, where did you get the picture of him you put in your book?
(11:19:38 PM) captstevezodiac8 has entered the room.
reeddeadpoems (11:19:50 PM): I thought you were asking for new information.
thedrinkninja (11:20:06 PM): I suppose we are.
reeddeadpoems (11:20:14 PM): I'm a little distracted here...
DeathPrawn (11:20:21 PM): never mind, then
reeddeadpoems (11:20:21 PM): putting up your fragments you wanted - want a link?
TX BA 535 (11:20:27 PM): absolutely!
TrigunPsycho (11:20:29 PM): yes please
pixieluvsnebula (11:20:46 PM): I have a question
thedrinkninja (11:20:47 PM): Yes please.
reeddeadpoems (11:21:12 PM): one sec, got a booboo on it
reeddeadpoems (11:21:20 PM): www.deadpoems.com/fragments.html
reeddeadpoems (11:21:22 PM): tell me if that works
TrigunPsycho (11:21:31 PM): works fine
TrigunPsycho (11:21:32 PM): thanks
reeddeadpoems (11:21:35 PM): Not a problem.
spaceboy1337 (11:21:37 PM): works good for me.
DeathPrawn (11:21:40 PM): thank you very much!
thedrinkninja (11:21:58 PM): Excellent work. Very fast job.
reeddeadpoems (11:22:10 PM): Since I got those online now, I want to talk about a few other things if that's OK
TrigunPsycho (11:22:15 PM): about how many more would you say are there that you havn't transcribed yet?
Enaxor (11:22:19 PM): they look like they may all go together to make a poem
DeathPrawn (11:22:19 PM): sure, whatever you want
thedrinkninja (11:22:21 PM): Certainly.
TrigunPsycho (11:22:22 PM): sure
reeddeadpoems (11:22:56 PM): One thing I've gotten steady streams of e-mail about was about messages read within the poems themselves. Have you all experienced something like that?
DeathPrawn (11:23:14 PM): I have
Enaxor (11:23:19 PM): yes
reeddeadpoems (11:23:22 PM): I've got a few examples of such messages I want to go over, in case any of you have missed out.
KarmicCrush (11:23:29 PM): Yes, we have
thedrinkninja (11:23:32 PM): Yes. It's one thing we specialize in.
reeddeadpoems (11:23:43 PM): Boy, that sounds spooky.
spaceboy1337 (11:24:00 PM): We found one with a message of "Ancient Terror."
thedrinkninja (11:24:13 PM): We do puzzles for fun, but nothing quite as eerie as this usually.
reeddeadpoems (11:24:42 PM): OK let's start with that one, spaceboy.
reeddeadpoems (11:24:55 PM): Page 55 of the book, I've got it right here.
dmax801 (11:25:22 PM): /me opens his hymnal
reeddeadpoems (11:25:26 PM): heh.
reeddeadpoems (11:25:46 PM): in fact, I've got the pages online that i want to talk about.
thedrinkninja (11:25:57 PM): Even better.
reeddeadpoems (11:25:58 PM): www.deadpoems.com/page55.html - this one was solved with the help of the readers.
thedrinkninja (11:26:14 PM): I have a sister who wants to see them without buying the book.
thedrinkninja (11:27:07 PM): Now, how could this be in a time well before binary existed, I suppose is the question.
reeddeadpoems (11:27:09 PM): As you can see, I've posted the way in which this one solved. A relatively simple binary code.
reeddeadpoems (11:27:36 PM): I really have no explanation for how that could happen.
DeathPrawn (11:27:56 PM): especially since ASCII wasn
DeathPrawn (11:28:00 PM): wasn't developed until the 60s
reeddeadpoems (11:28:06 PM): Farbeit for me to explain how Ann was able to receive or transmit her messages from beyond.
TX BA 535 (11:28:13 PM): perhaps An was channelling from the future?
TrigunPsycho (11:28:16 PM): yea, I doubt that Ann would know binary well enough to translate to binary in her head
dmax801 (11:28:17 PM): yeah, that seems besides the point
dmax801 (11:28:35 PM): can we move on to the messages themselves? they're intriguing
spaceboy1337 (11:28:55 PM): I agree.
reeddeadpoems (11:29:13 PM): What does 'ancient terror' mean to you?
Satanis7 (11:29:21 PM): cthulu
TrigunPsycho (11:29:24 PM): A horror from the past?
TrigunPsycho (11:29:34 PM): maybe a powerful spirit?
reeddeadpoems (11:29:35 PM): That's about as much as I got out of it too.
TX BA 535 (11:29:39 PM): likely some mystical power
reeddeadpoems (11:29:52 PM): Let's look at a few more together. Maybe they'll make more sense together?
thedrinkninja (11:29:57 PM): The first that comes to mind is the plight of the grounds keeper we have heard of who works at Cambridge.
DeathPrawn (11:30:01 PM): some great, evil force that either was in the past or both existed in the path and exists now
reeddeadpoems (11:30:02 PM): www.deadpoems.com/page37.html for instance
thedrinkninja (11:30:04 PM): Sure.
KarmicCrush (11:30:12 PM): Or something that that has exsisted for a long time, and continues in.
reeddeadpoems (11:30:34 PM): The first letter of every line, for this one. Have you all seen this one?
TX BA 535 (11:30:53 PM): yes I am familiar with that one
DeathPrawn (11:31:00 PM): yes
dmax801 (11:31:01 PM): that's what made us wonder about the steam tunnels
thedrinkninja (11:31:03 PM): Could that have to do with the tunnels beneath Cambridge?
reeddeadpoems (11:31:08 PM): so now we have 'ancient terror' and 'the truth below'.
dmax801 (11:31:30 PM): you know, we've also met someone who claims that there's a "terror" that has been around for a very very long time
thedrinkninja (11:31:35 PM): Old Todd went running to those, didn't he? Something about pictures in his head?
reeddeadpoems (11:31:37 PM): Something like that does seem like an obvious connection. It makes me wonder what really happened down in those tunnels.
dmax801 (11:31:40 PM): and that may have been at Cambridge
thedrinkninja (11:32:14 PM): I'm sorry, Old Todd is the grounds keeper at Cambridge.
reeddeadpoems (11:32:16 PM): http://www.deadpoems.com/page57.html is something similar
reeddeadpoems (11:32:38 PM): last letter of every line - with that, we've got 'the fear they breed' and 'ancient terror' and 'the truth below'.
TX BA 535 (11:32:47 PM): when I first read that, I assumed it referred to the hospital workers
thedrinkninja (11:32:49 PM): Insignia?
thedrinkninja (11:33:00 PM): The fleur, perhaps?
dmax801 (11:33:20 PM): and you have to wonder if we should take "breed" literally
Enaxor (11:33:21 PM): the seventh sons?
DeathPrawn (11:33:36 PM): they breed an ancient terror below
thedrinkninja (11:33:42 PM): Reed, when we get the chance I would like to ask you about the Seventh Sons myself.
dmax801 (11:33:58 PM): any more poems on line?
TX BA 535 (11:34:06 PM): maybe they are summoning an ancient evil spirit down in the tunnels of CMH?
thedrinkninja (11:34:09 PM): 40 Hz tones.
reeddeadpoems (11:34:16 PM): What is all this about?
pixieluvsnebula (11:34:25 PM): Reed, may i call you Reed?
TX BA 535 (11:34:30 PM): let's slow down team...
reeddeadpoems (11:34:31 PM): Sure.
pixieluvsnebula (11:34:41 PM): We are currently working on a murder investigation
reeddeadpoems (11:34:42 PM): You guys just totally overwhelmed me. Seventh Sons?
(11:34:46 PM) boygrumpy has entered the room.
thedrinkninja (11:34:47 PM): Yes, this is very confusing out of context.
pixieluvsnebula (11:34:56 PM): And it seems to be leading us towards a secret society, known as the 7th sons
DeathPrawn (11:35:09 PM): http://www.theseventhsons.com is their website, and rather cryptic one at that
pixieluvsnebula (11:35:24 PM): Reed, are you aware of the mythology that surrounds the seventh son of a seventh son?
Enaxor (11:35:40 PM): I sent you an email about this group several weeks ago.
Flidget (11:35:44 PM): I think someone should explain about the gravestone first.
thedrinkninja (11:35:57 PM): Keep on one thing at once. Pixie, continue.
Flidget (11:35:58 PM): That's what links it to the CMH and Ann
dmax801 (11:35:58 PM): before we go into that, Mr. Singleton, I'd like you to be able to finish what you were telling us about the poems from your grandmother
thedrinkninja (11:36:33 PM): Pardon our confusion, we're a bit disorganized.
spaceboy1337 (11:36:36 PM): Yes, I'm curious about that also.
dmax801 (11:36:48 PM): There are a lot of other issues, but I'd rather focus on your expertise
pixieluvsnebula (11:37:02 PM): Reed: what path would you like me to further explain our invetigation, or continue with the discussion and then we can explain?
reeddeadpoems (11:37:15 PM): My expertise is in my grandmother's poetry and selling this book. I don't know about any secret societies or seventh sons of seventh sons, I'm sorry.
(11:37:21 PM) captstevezodiac8 has left the room.
dmax801 (11:37:31 PM): Thanks, Mr. Singleton. What more did you notice?
reeddeadpoems (11:37:39 PM): gosh, where the heck was I?
dmax801 (11:37:49 PM): Any more poems online?
DeathPrawn (11:37:51 PM): the hidden messages.
darkphantasmo (11:37:52 PM): do you have any other poems like the 3 you just talked about reed?
(11:37:52 PM) captstevezodiac8 has left the room.
reeddeadpoems (11:38:14 PM): um
reeddeadpoems (11:38:18 PM): did i talk about page 64 yet?
DeathPrawn (11:38:20 PM): no
reeddeadpoems (11:38:36 PM): let's see what i've got
reeddeadpoems (11:38:43 PM): Oh!
reeddeadpoems (11:38:57 PM): I get so many emails, I don't know which you guys solved and which i've solved myself.
reeddeadpoems (11:39:05 PM): But this one... I think I didn't get an email about this one
boygrumpy (11:39:12 PM): that's the "insert puzzle" one
reeddeadpoems (11:39:14 PM): check out page81.html
reeddeadpoems (11:39:23 PM): that's another one, i'll go back to that - i'm curious to know if you guys saw this one
boygrumpy (11:39:29 PM): 81 is "voices of the dead"
reeddeadpoems (11:39:43 PM): oh you did get that one?
boygrumpy (11:40:00 PM): yes, i sent you an email
boygrumpy (11:40:12 PM): (maybe i didn't explain the solve though)
reeddeadpoems (11:40:17 PM): You may have. I can't keep up!
thedrinkninja (11:40:30 PM): I'm rather convinced this has all winds back to the issue that is so confusing to you, Mr. Singleton, with the Seventh Sons.
reeddeadpoems (11:40:37 PM): For page81, the letter that corresponded to the line # spelled out vioces of the dead, as boygrhumpy stated.
TX BA 535 (11:41:14 PM): not surprising that Ann would include a message about that...
reeddeadpoems (11:41:19 PM): It might, but I just heard 15 different things. insignias. fleurs(?). Seventh sons. Let's lay all this out, and if you want to inform me of some connection, I'd be more than happy to listen.
thedrinkninja (11:41:27 PM): Sure.
KarmicCrush (11:41:42 PM): PIxie? If you would?
thedrinkninja (11:41:44 PM): I think that Pixie had a decent explanation.
reeddeadpoems (11:41:58 PM): ok i missed one other one here
pixieluvsnebula (11:42:09 PM): Continue Reed...
thedrinkninja (11:42:25 PM): The insignia can wait.
(11:42:38 PM) emouse@mac.com has entered the room.
reeddeadpoems (11:42:40 PM): Some of you mentioned a typo on page 39
reeddeadpoems (11:43:15 PM): Which was an unfortunate typesetting error that I just didn't catch before the book went to print. However, I can assure you that the handwritten version is correct. I even verified this against some of the other versions
boygrumpy (11:43:20 PM): "ev)l"
reeddeadpoems (11:43:23 PM): of the poem that Ann had written.
boygrumpy (11:43:42 PM): only part of the handwritten pages for that poem is in the book
dmax801 (11:43:44 PM): Mr. Singleton, are there other poems not included, since they're incomplete or damaged?
reeddeadpoems (11:44:01 PM): well i put up page 39 on the website
reeddeadpoems (11:44:07 PM): www.deadpoems.com/page39.html
dmax801 (11:44:09 PM): (I'm wondering if we can expect Volume Two)
(11:44:16 PM) captstevezodiac8 has left the room.
(11:44:22 PM) captstevezodiac8 has entered the room.
reeddeadpoems (11:44:30 PM): I put them side by side there.
reeddeadpoems (11:45:32 PM): Everyone ok? You went silent again
thedrinkninja (11:45:34 PM): Is there anything else you would like to add?
thedrinkninja (11:45:47 PM): Deep thought. :-P
pixieluvsnebula (11:46:34 PM): Reed: would you like to know further about our investigation, and why you and your grandmother are so important to us, besides the obvious enjoyment of the book itself?
reeddeadpoems (11:47:08 PM): One minute. I need to put up another page for you here
pixieluvsnebula (11:47:21 PM): Take your time.
TX BA 535 (11:47:22 PM): as Reed set, let's allow him to "lay it all on the table"
thedrinkninja (11:47:27 PM): What does this one contain?
TX BA 535 (11:47:28 PM): *said
reeddeadpoems (11:47:36 PM): Alright, page35.html
reeddeadpoems (11:47:57 PM): I'm CONVINCED there's a message in this one - every version of it I have seems to be very carefully laid out.
pixieluvsnebula (11:48:23 PM): TX: i only asked because Reed said "Everyone ok? You went silent again" and i thought perhaps he was done...
dmax801 (11:48:25 PM): it makes sense
reeddeadpoems (11:48:25 PM): I'm not the only one - i've gotten a few emails asking if I knew anything about it. Maybe some of you?
TX BA 535 (11:48:40 PM): no prob, I gotcha
dmax801 (11:48:48 PM): i haven't seen every page of the book yet, but do you think that every page has something on it within her poems?
boygrumpy (11:48:55 PM): page 39 is still wrong, the 18th line
(11:49:27 PM) captstevezodiac8 has left the room.
thedrinkninja (11:49:33 PM): Pixie, while everyone is working, would you like to fill in Reed?
reeddeadpoems (11:49:34 PM): another typo?
reeddeadpoems (11:49:47 PM): mr. boygrumpy, please email me and put AS PER CHAT in the title - that way i can zero in on it.
(11:49:57 PM) captstevezodiac8 has left the room.
reeddeadpoems (11:50:25 PM): Mr. Max - I honestly don't know.
reeddeadpoems (11:50:50 PM): There's at least one more though that I'm convinced may have something in it.
reeddeadpoems (11:50:57 PM): Several readers pointed me to page91.
thedrinkninja (11:50:57 PM): Which would be?
reeddeadpoems (11:51:00 PM): which is now up for you
thedrinkninja (11:51:11 PM): Thank you.
boygrumpy (11:51:20 PM): ok reed, i will email you
reeddeadpoems (11:51:49 PM): someone mailed me about letter frequencies regarding this one, but i couldn't make heads or tails of it.
darkphantasmo (11:51:51 PM): its like reed is giving me birthday presents! (yes, today is my bday) ... these poems are fascinating
thedrinkninja (11:52:10 PM): Very exciting birthday presents.
reeddeadpoems (11:52:14 PM): Would you like to buy a copy of the book? It's available on the website...
reeddeadpoems (11:52:26 PM): It's even in electronic form if you prefer.
darkphantasmo (11:53:02 PM): i would like to, but i am presently unemployed.... :-(
reeddeadpoems (11:54:07 PM): Other than those poems, there were four puzzles I get mailed about all the time. Something about numbers in the titles
dmax801 (11:54:23 PM): Mr. Singleton, since publication, have any other relatives of former patients contacted you?
reeddeadpoems (11:54:34 PM): Sorry, I'm just getting the last of these up
(11:54:48 PM) spaceboy1337 has left the room.
dmax801 (11:54:59 PM): I'm wondering if you found any kindred spirits with similar experiences
reeddeadpoems (11:55:20 PM): Mr. Max - to answer your question, no relatives of Ann Starling, but let me tell you - if you had to read some of the cryptic emails that I've been getting in response to my book, you'd swear some of them were former patients.
dmax801 (11:55:34 PM): hahaha
thedrinkninja (11:55:48 PM): ...Really?
TrigunPsycho (11:55:54 PM): So Reed, what are the pages that you've posted? Just so I can keep track
reeddeadpoems (11:55:57 PM): okay. page45, page67, page73, page79 - these are the four I just mentioned.
TrigunPsycho (11:56:02 PM): lol
KarmicCrush (11:56:10 PM): Well, considering that many of those e-mails undoubtedly came from people in this room...;-)
reeddeadpoems (11:56:14 PM): Interestingly, their titles spell ONE TWO THREE FOUR with their first letters.
dmax801 (11:56:31 PM): that was a quartet that seemed pregnant with information
dmax801 (11:56:36 PM): but no one had delivered
reeddeadpoems (11:56:42 PM): Whoa. You could be a poet yourself, you know that?
thedrinkninja (11:57:03 PM): Hopefully we won't see you in Volume II. :-P
reeddeadpoems (11:57:45 PM): Someone sent me an explanation for an encryption scheme using the capital and small letters like was done in the other poem, but that it yielded only gibberish.
(11:57:50 PM) LOrgana1 has left the room.
reeddeadpoems (11:57:56 PM): Or maybe that the answer itself was encoded somehow
reeddeadpoems (11:58:29 PM): You can see the weird capitals and lowercase letters on those four pages, which she used in other poems that had messages. So I donno about you, but I'm convinced there's something similar with these.
reeddeadpoems (11:59:06 PM): If anyone discovers any more messages in these poems, by the way, please send me an e-mail but put POEM SOLVED or something like that in the title so I'll be sure to give it top priority when I'm perusing my e-mails.
reeddeadpoems (11:59:26 PM): Meantime, I'm gonna keep working on them myself, and you can be sure that I'll post on the website any solves that I'm able to find.
thedrinkninja (11:59:30 PM): Excellent. Nothing else that jumps out at you?
reeddeadpoems (11:59:58 PM): That's all I had written down and prepared some pages for, if that's what you mean.
TX BA 535 (12:00:09 AM): what do you make of page 63, Reed?
TX BA 535 (12:00:22 AM): it seems so out of place
Enaxor (12:00:31 AM): thank you for taking the time to chat with us
reeddeadpoems (12:00:41 AM): that's that picture of the girl crying, right?
TX BA 535 (12:00:45 AM): yes
reeddeadpoems (12:01:21 AM): i don't have much on it. I don't believe that's one of Ann's drawings, but I'm fairly confident it belongs to one patient or another from that hospital. There was no name or anything on it, so I don't know who it might belong to.
thedrinkninja (12:01:45 AM): Just so we know, Mr. Singleton, are you in any kind of a hurry to leave?
reeddeadpoems (12:02:07 AM): Well I planned this for an hour, but I can stick around for a few extra minutes...
thedrinkninja (12:02:33 AM): Thanks. I just want you to be up to speed on the Seventh Sons.
dmax801 (12:02:41 AM): I'll leave - thank you Mr. Singleton.
(12:02:44 AM) dmax801 has left the room.
thedrinkninja (12:02:52 AM): If pixie isn't up for it, I could give a condensed version.
KarmicCrush (12:03:04 AM): There's a lot you have a right to know about what's going on here, Reed.
pixieluvsnebula (12:03:24 AM): i would be more than willing to explain as quickly as possible, but i have a few questions as well
TX BA 535 (12:03:39 AM): go ahead pixie, please...
thedrinkninja (12:03:46 AM): I think an explanation would be of greatest priority.
(12:03:46 AM) Enaxor has left the room.
reeddeadpoems (12:03:47 AM): Well by all means, if someone would like to summarize, it'll save me a lot of websurfing for seventh sons or whatever tonight =)
pixieluvsnebula (12:04:08 AM): http://www.mystical-www.co.uk/7son.htm
thedrinkninja (12:04:09 AM): It would do little but confuse you, let me assure you.
pixieluvsnebula (12:04:52 AM): Accoring to this page, the mythology of 7th sons explains that a seveth son is VERY powerful. destined before birth even, for the greatness they shall achive in life.
reeddeadpoems (12:05:19 AM): okay...
(12:05:20 AM) Senor Elemento has entered the room.
pixieluvsnebula (12:05:20 AM): There appears to be a secret society revolving around the power of the 7th son, we have ye tto fully understand how or why, however.
Senor Elemento (12:05:22 AM): Hey hey
pixieluvsnebula (12:05:37 AM): their insignia is the Fleur-de-Lis
TX BA 535 (12:05:43 AM): hi Senor, pixie is currently explaining the 7th sons situation to Reed...
Senor Elemento (12:05:47 AM): Ok
Senor Elemento (12:05:52 AM): <-- ElGameR
reeddeadpoems (12:05:53 AM): And what does this have to do with the Dead Poems book you've all been reading?
pixieluvsnebula (12:06:01 AM): http://www.fleurdelis.com/fleur.htm this page explains the insignia
thedrinkninja (12:06:27 AM): This group may be the one causing the insanity at Cambridge.
pixieluvsnebula (12:06:30 AM): At the mental hostpital "Recently" there was a production of a reality tv show that never came to air
OwlersaNut (12:06:38 AM): we think dr house is wearing a 7th sons insignia in one of his pictures
reeddeadpoems (12:07:06 AM): oh that's that Dead House thing you've all been mailing me about.
thedrinkninja (12:07:28 AM): Dread, but yes, pretty much.
reeddeadpoems (12:07:32 AM): Oh yeah, that.
DeathPrawn (12:07:44 AM): not to be confused with Dr. Gregory House, MD :P
pixieluvsnebula (12:07:57 AM): it never finished taping. There was a conspiracy with the company, and the secret society.
TrigunPsycho (12:07:58 AM): lol
thedrinkninja (12:08:24 AM): (Dr. Ed House, Dread House, a connection seems likely.)
reeddeadpoems (12:08:25 AM): So let me see if I can read through this - you guys think that this Dr. House and seventh signs something or other had something to do with my grandmother's poetry?
TrigunPsycho (12:08:40 AM): seventh sons, but yes
thedrinkninja (12:09:12 AM): These sounds from below seem related to this 40 Hz signal that has been recorded at the hospital.
DeathPrawn (12:09:17 AM): it's just crackpot enough to be true
KarmicCrush (12:09:30 AM): Or the other way around. your Grandmother's poetry may be a key to the secrets of the Cambridge Hospital, and the Seventh Sons
OwlersaNut (12:09:43 AM): we think they were certainly involved with some of the creepiness at the hospital, and it's possible your grandmother may have had some insight about that
emouse@mac.com (12:09:47 AM): If I may ask - you mentioned getting a number of cryptic emails. Were any of them from someone using the initials of JC?
(12:09:50 AM) joiseyJuice has entered the room.
reeddeadpoems (12:09:52 AM): Whoa. That's way too much for me to absorb. Do you have any proof of that?
pixieluvsnebula (12:10:08 AM): My questions Reed, if i may ask them, are Was your grandmother an only child? Did she have your {mother/father}before/after she was in the mental facility? and do you know if she had her gift before the institution?
reeddeadpoems (12:10:16 AM): No, i don't recall any JC. But I've left quite a number of emails unread.
thedrinkninja (12:10:29 AM): Also, proof of which?
reeddeadpoems (12:10:46 AM): proof of anything with these connections to this scoeity
thedrinkninja (12:10:53 AM): Yes.
reeddeadpoems (12:11:05 AM): Let me answer Pixie's questions, and then I gotta run. OK?
OwlersaNut (12:11:10 AM): okir
DeathPrawn (12:11:18 AM): okay
KarmicCrush (12:11:24 AM): Certainly
reeddeadpoems (12:11:36 AM): First off, Pixie, have you read what I wrote in the book?
pixieluvsnebula (12:11:45 AM): Reed, we don't need full proof. If anything, the fact alone that your grandmother channeled the dead should leave you a believer
thedrinkninja (12:12:04 AM): (Waveforms recorded at Cambridge carry the same symbol seen on the Seventh Sons webpage and on Dr. Ed House's shirt.)
pixieluvsnebula (12:12:05 AM): Yes reed, i have read the book, i am sorry to say i do not remember fully what was written about her biography
reeddeadpoems (12:12:05 AM): It's just a huge amount for me to absorb right now, you have to understand just how much information you just blew at me.
pixieluvsnebula (12:12:25 AM): Reed, i am sorry, perhaps i am a bit desensitized
TrigunPsycho (12:12:40 AM): hey red, if your intrested try IMing puzzlecards
TrigunPsycho (12:12:45 AM): he'll be able to fill you in
TrigunPsycho (12:12:50 AM): *reed
thedrinkninja (12:12:56 AM): I'd suggest saving the conversation, but I think one of us should make a complete summary, not only for Reed but for the others stuck in this mystery.
reeddeadpoems (12:13:01 AM): Anyway, to answer you briefly here - my grandmother was an only child, she was my mother's mother, and had her after she left the facility. And I really have no idea whether or not she had the gift before she was institutionalized
reeddeadpoems (12:13:46 AM): Alright. If you want to tell me more, please e-mail me. And tell your friends about the book, if they haven't already bought one.
TX BA 535 (12:13:59 AM): will do. thanks so much for your time Reed!
reeddeadpoems (12:14:02 AM): Take care folks. And thanks for reading.
thedrinkninja (12:14:03 AM): Sure. Thank you for your help, Reed!
pixieluvsnebula (12:14:03 AM): WIll do Reed, thank you VERY much for your time
KarmicCrush (12:14:05 AM): And if they have, they can always use a spare?
emouse@mac.com (12:14:08 AM): Thank you!
OwlersaNut (12:14:09 AM): good night reed
