Hey @everyone… new topic for KR’s remaining passwords.

Today’s random unsettling thought…
For the second clue we’re looking for a name and year of their (not) death. First name 7 characters, last name 8 characters.
Something KR said made me wonder. Deirdre has 7 characters… Do we know what her last name is/was before she found out it was Green? I know it started with ‘B’, but I can’t find any full mention of it from her blog.

I also seem to (mis?) remember reading something about the history of Ackerly Green and someone losing a child. Not sure if that’s correct but when I have time I want to go back and look at the “What we know about Ackerly Green” post on the Basecamp website. Again, I could be misremembering but I just want to double check.

I wonder if there’s any significance in the 4th name not having a “career” or anything like that and just being a name!

I wondered that too. I can’t even find anyone with that name when searching for them.

KR just posted to the Second Fragment Topic and said, “… time is ticking and the treasure I was promised is almost in my (his?) hands.”
Could this reference the xxxxxxxxTick-Tockxxxxxxxx clue on his page?

Totally could be. I’m not clear how, but it is certainly a clock reference.
I have been assuming for a while now King Rabbit had a time table in mind for this. He started posting clues for the 4th magic words before we had even found the 3rd magic words. Also he’s expressed impatience with us over the video.
He has a timeline for all this. I just don’t know for what or why.

Ha! I’d much prefer him frantic and nervous to churlish and patronizing.

The answer is “05280404Tick-Tock02340458” where numbers is a time in video of “EYE OF THE MOONS” fragments

I’ve been trying Reginald Ackerly 1981 and variations of that for the second one without luck. That’s the only child I think we know about in relation to all this who’s died. It’s the wrong number of characters but I figured was worth a try.

What does it mean when you click on the link after entering the magic word in tick-tock? There was a link to an image of a piece of paper that said “the second draft”

I’m just guessing here, but there are 2 types of handwriting in the fragments. One printed and one more handwritten and flowing like the segment that says ‘second draft’. That might be telling us the handwritten parts are a newer version and take precedence if there’s a conflict.

So the sixteen Xs were relevant, now we need to figure out what the single “X” means.

James Ackerly Price had one child, Reginald who was stillborn.

That’s an interesting question. I never considered the X as significant.

What do we know about Deirdre’s grandmother? Her grandmother was Sylvia Sullivan and she took her life in 1977. I’m assuming Deirdre’s father was named for his mother’s maiden name. The reason I mention this is because Sullivan is the only 8 letter last name I can find that might fit the final bonus clue. But Sylvia only has six letters, not seven. So did Sullivan Green have an older sibling that died in childhood? I can’t find anything.
Grrr… I want that last clue!
