Right, but…
Robert, when I was new here, I remember reading about you all trying something back in the day. This was back when I was rushing to get caught up.
Matching numbers to letters?
But it didn’t work then.
Maybe it didn’t work then because we didn’t have the foreward.
I’m saying that I think @Cj_Heighton might be right, in a way?
There’s a Foreward in the guide of magiq also.
It definatly has something to do with the numerals
what about “as it was it cant be left undone, it has to be rewritten” or whatever in the foreward? have we tried to rewrite the foreward
Can you guys even see the book right now?
No
So maybe the numbers we need are the roman numerals, and the Ant and Caterpillow story, with the foreward, is the text we need to decipher?
What does it hurt to try?
The Book seems to have stepped out.
Its taken a short vacation
2005 is mentioned in the story of the finding of the guide.
Edit:it’s one if the numerals for 16.
It doesn’t hurt to try at all. Go for it.
Okay good, I’m not just technologically inept
/beforeyoubegin and /before_you_begin don’t work. Kinda stupid but I had to try.
Maybe it’s as simple as just taking the letter at each position in the story. The 5th, 18th, 24th etc?
5 18 24 27 44 52 59 88 104 108 182 192 221 267 299 314 323 326 385 394 395 410 435 451 464 537 554 671 919 953 955 981 993 1007 1011 1089 1128 1132 1139 1324 1376 1409 1413 1416 1627 1647 1654 1664 1667 1852 1865 1872 1887 1945 1951 1995 2006 2070 2087 2357 2359 2366
Nothing’s stupid at this point. We’ve collectively tried /foreword
Could it be the first letter of like the 5th, 18th, etc word?
the thousands and hundreds could be split at a point into other numbers too.
That’s what I was thinking, maybe we have to rearrange the letters from there.
If we grab the letters might “foreword” be the key?
I.e. We take all the letters and eliminate the ones contained in foreword?
That seems like it’d make the most sense. KISS.
It could be word count, as well, but I don’t know that the story totals 2k+ words. Does it? That’s a little over 5 pages of text, I think.
