Is there anyone else still here?

As expected, more stuff. Lots of nuclear references, in particular to do with processing waste.

I'm still watching.

It will take time to digest all that.

I'm still around.

All that pharmacological stuff is gonna take some figuring - I guess there must be some logic or system to it - we could do with someone who knows about that stuff already who might recognise what's going on there. I looked all the drugs up but apart from noting that there's various chemotherapy agents, an antidepressant, a muscle relaxant, an antibiotic etc I'm not sure there's a whole lot I can do with it. I've posted various bits and pieces - now waiting to see what others have posted when it gets updated.

...and first pile of feedback on the new one up already. A new message too.
Bit odd. They've heard that Bryan wants a new monitor (or TV?) so they'll help out... Well, if they're reading this, I could do with a nice plasma screen too...

But if that's something he has said to someone, surely he knows who? Unless it's that lawyer guy again.

Still here too. Rolling Eyes

I still can't shake the idea that it's Mr. Hungerford somehow.

I guess the big news is that Bryan has announced he is moving away but will maintain his site and keep a subscription to the ADW.

If you're still interested in this, what do you think of his plan to "wiki-ize" the site? I know that more frequent updates will help maintain my own interest, even though I can still waste hours on the old stuff.

Anyway, according to the newest message, another announcement is due today:

Hmm... "annoucement" "Brotherhod" ? Deliberate typos maybe - obviously nothing to do with the ebonics-style lingo - note - missing letters spell "no".

Also "Brotherhod", I don't recall any mention of a "brotherhood" before though I may be wrong, but is it them or their adversaries? Sounds kinda masonic, anyone recall whether they've ever actually denied any masonic connections specifically? There has been various stuff posted in the clues about possible masonic links.

Oh aye - I reckon that "wiki-izing" the site sounds like an excellent idea. Cool

I thought they'd specifically denied being Masons before. Or was it Templars? I can't find anything on the site about it but this page does refer to the Orphanage denying being directly related to freemasons, so it must be somewhere...

I had been thinking wikis would be a good idea for the site before. I did offer to set up a messageboard a while back and contacted Bryan out of courtesy but never heard back and kind of put it off due to real-life stuff. I have since been playing with wikis instead of messageboards and they would probably offer a much better and more legible approach but would need people to a) weed out irrelevancies/duplications, and b) ensure that nothing relevant has been deleted by other people - the big problem with a wiki is that usually anyone who can add content can also edit/remove what's already there.

I might contact Bryan again to see whether he needs any help setting something up/hosting it - it looks as though my renovation work at home will be finished in the next few weeks so I might have some time to spare.

I do know that they denied having anything to do with the occult, and something like no being involved with Kabbalah as such though it's useful as a tool. They've denied a few other things - I don't recall masons being in there but they may well be - there's just so many pages and emails now. Maybe I'll go through all the past communications and pull this stuff together - what they have to say about themselves.

Eri - there is that aye, I think maybe they did use 'brethren' as well.

I'm pretty convinced about the deliberate ommission thing - and they do speak of using 'scordatura' - which I take, in this non-musical context, to mean simply altering things from the norm to fit their purpose, which would include mispellings, words altered in quotes, ommitted words & letters etc. Similarly with words that have been capitalised or underlined etc, I reckon they convey an additional message. I've found other stuff through the pages, though I've not really posted much of it yet - the Gods know I've posted enough dumb stuff already so I'm holding off on that and a few other things for now. There's one example where there's misquoted words from the song 'The Boxer' followed by another misquote and put together the missing words form the phrase 'looking for bays' - but that's way back somewhere among the older pages. If you look at the Feb 5th announcement:

http://www.maydaymystery.org/mayday/texts/05-feb9.html

check out the underlined words - 'the ship' (in Greek), timetable, enforcement - then two partially underlined words 'plen' 'plen' which maybe some kind of code I can't figure out right now - but 'the ship, timetable, enforcement' - seems to be something going on there.

Steve - that being able to edit other folk's clues did concern me. I reckon that it would be best just to let the duplications stay, a lot of it has additional details, peoples different viewpoints etc so it's not all just repetitions - if the site is wiki-ized then repetition should get less in the future anyway, as presumably we'll be able to see right away if someone else has already posted something. Also, we're all going to have a slightly different take on what is relevent and what isn't - that would depend a great deal on our own theories about the site. Myself, I really wouldn't want to start editing other people's posts, all I'd want to do would be to take out some of the really really dumb mistakes I've posted myself. Embarassed

The whole thing reminds me of a Thomas Pynchon novel (not a specific one, but overall). The many references to obscure facts from all over science and history - the "secret society" thing - the postage stamps - the secret messages.

I once was a member of a Thomas Pynchon discussion group. Even the discussions and "decipherments" of his books sounded a lot like the discussions on the mayday website.

I heard that little personal details are known about Thomas Pynchon - who knows, it might be him ...

Great observation about Pynchon! The writer is referenced in the 2004 May Day announcement: http://www.maydaymystery.org/mayday/texts/04-may1.html I would love to see some specific examples/comparisons if any have jumped out at you.

I was just browsing the may day site and see where Juls sent in a comment much more knowledgeable and coherent than my last post, pointing out why there seems to be a connection to the occult. It's on this page: http://www.maydaymystery.org/mayday/texts/delivery02042003.html

This is still Eri. I was forced to increase the characters in my screen name and added the first word that came to mind - now I don't like it. Do I really leap to so many conclusions? Sad
