i don't think that's right. the second half of that line, "SIGNA SEPHREAL" can be unscrambled to "SIGNAL REPHRASE", and i don't think we should break the half-line rule if we don't have to.
EDIT
no it can't. i invented an R to make that solution. this line is probably correct as stands.

they already decided "meets me" is better cuz it rhymes. also, if you take it in the context of the first line, it makes sense. it's her fate meeting her, not us.
No, I think that is right - "...my fate meets me..."REVOLUTE wrote:maybe "MEET ME JUST INSIDE THE GATES"EmilyElle wrote:ELEVEN DAYS UNTIL MY FATEubergeek wrote:not sure we should be posting our "solution" on other discussions since i think there are still several unresolved issues with our decoded poem so far.

Not to mention, "fate" and "gates" don't rhyme.
If you guys want to take it all apart to make it fit iambic quadrameter that's fine, but I'm leaving this one as it is. This coming from the first person to figure out the whole iambic quadrameter thing... I think it might have just been for the first line, to set us rolling.ubergeek wrote:problems? how about the lack of iambic foot in almost every line? i think the iambs quadrameter is key (because of Cassie's clue). A line with seven beats just isn't going to cut it, I don't think.
Then again... I could be wrong... it's in the first, fifth and sixth... and the fourth is a trochee, which as I said is an inverted iamb, so personally I think that's fine. But disregarding the foot and meter, the lines just seem to fit, especially "not much time for you to train".EmilyElle wrote:If you guys want to take it all apart to make it fit iambic quadrameter that's fine, but I'm leaving this one as it is.

I'm not criticizing all the great work everyone's been putting in. I just don't want for us to boast about finding a "solution" to a puzzle, only to find out later that we had some of it wrong. The fact that it "fits" says doesn't actually say anything about the validity of the solution. It may in fact lead us astray because we are looking for the solution that best fits our notion of what the puzzle ought to be.
i'm probably not the first, but i PM'd cassie with the current 'when' solution. no answer yet...ubergeek wrote:I'm not criticizing all the great work everyone's been putting in.
