As I've been working on this recent firestorm of clues, I find myself recalling OpA's warning to us from so long ago: "By the time you reach the end, will you even remember every sign you ignored at the beginning?" This is some very good advice, since right now we have had so many clues that they kind of blend into each other. So this thread is for tabulating all the clues/potential clues we've received that for whatever reason are loose ends at this point. If there's anything that remains unsolved, put it up here and Tigerlily, in her role as Mod Extraordinaire, will add it to a list on the AphidPedia.

In order to keep this thread from being flooded with speculation and argument, I ask that candidates for the Loose Ends List meet at least one of three conditions:

1. Clue/item has not led us directly to another clue.
2. Proposed solution for clue/item has not been confirmed by OpA, Tach, Brother, or anyone else we know to be legitimate.
3. Clue/item has a number of potential solutions, and significant disagreement exists here on the forum about what the true solution is.

THIS IS NOT A SPECULATION THREAD. Please post your suggestions, with a brief explanation of their relevance if necessary, and take the discussion elsewhere. Sorry to sound rude, but I know that this kind of thread could quickly degenerate into a brawl. Thanks!

The list so far:
The postcard images--sad bunny, thumb, clouds
Redirects--Rachav, Rashi, Canaan
Book of the Law
Nancy Drew's Guide to Life
78:49
The Lilin
The Grigori
The Nili
Setauket
Maimonides/Baudelaire
Why the palindromes?
FRANCIS DOES NOT RIP
ipod opera-a hint
the list of nicknames from the first drop
Anagrams from Brother's YT page: CALLING CARD, DIVISION, DOES HE EVER GET THE GIRL
The Queen of Hearts (X)

I'll start us off.

The postcard images:
The thumb may mean hitchhiking but we don't know
The others?????

Redirects from the first puzzle
Rachev, Rashi and Canaan.
The spy in Jericho, a Rabbi, the promised land. Why?

The Books:
Book of the Law
Nancy Drew's guide to life

Did 78:49 and the Lilin lead us anywhere?

It always bugged me that we never really got the point of the Maimonedes/Baudelaire question.

From Cassie Does Not RIP:

A psychic vampire feeds off of your energy and attention. To stop it is simple: Ignore it.

Maimonides and Abraham ibn Ezra denied the existence of demons. Their philosophies became a part of the mainstream Jewish faith regarding the subject.

Perhaps this was the right approach. i.e. "To ignore evil is to deny it any power over you."

However, Charles Baudelaire suggested, "The finest trick of the devil is to persuade you that he does not exist."

What if he was indeed correct?

Is Op implying Cassie's still around?

Vengeful Angels of Wrath + Demons?

I don't remember finding the meaning behind the use of all the palindromes.

To point out the elephant in the room...

We still know precious little about Ipod Opera.

Oooh, I have a million that drive me CRAZY!

FRANCIS DOES NOT RIP -- From Op

Tag, you're it -- From Tachyon

GPS/GoodPurityStatus -- we know GPS seems to be the password to many of the videos we find, but we do not understand the significance

... Clearly this is not a million. Tired, will think of more and come back.

I though francis was frank from cassie

What about the Do Go To God video. I still don't understand how it fits in.

I thought this eventually brought us to understand about psychic vampires and what they feed off of ---> the codeword for the question from brother for the people who got the calls?"

"energy"

Someone should link the topic we had on the List, so we dont have to repost it and have the convo all over again in this thread. I would, but I'm at work, ducking in here when I can.

You need a mod to create stickies at the top of threads for ya, that way they don't get buried.

Unfortunatly we can't sticky all of the puzzles.

Here's the thread
http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2579

I'm writing up the narrative version of what happened and it occured to me that Tachyon wanted things taken by courrier and that wasn't her, brother, or arch and noava. Sooo...who's the courrier?
