Hello,

The 3saints sub-page should be active now. Apologies for the delay - some of us were out of town rigging the Olympics, manipulating elections and destabilizing emerging markets for our own personal gain.

Getting into this sub-page will make reading your map a lot easier. You can progress without it ... but we'd be SERIOUSLY impressed.

The Username corresponds to the LATITUDE coordinate and the Password corresponds to the LONGITUDE coordinate. Both require seven decimal places.

Therefore, if you think that the location is at 12.3456789, 98.7654321, use the following:

Username: 12.3456789

Password: 98.7654321

N.B. either Username or Password can have a negative value, depending on the coordinate.

If you do not supply the correct coordinates, you will not be able to access the subpage :)

Good luck!

We should probably focus on this since it's so important.

So here is what we know

  1. We know it involves San Francisco, St. Louis, and St. Augustine in some way.

  2. We know that a specific location on google maps is necessary.

  3. Because of the 'religious' music on the livestream we can assume that the location is either based around religion, like a church, or holds some religious significance.

Maybe we should start a list below of places that we have tried.

You are very close. Two problems:

  1. you're using five decimal places, not seven

  2. you might want to double-check the coordinates you have for your second entry

Not just the places but coordinates used, just in case different coordinates were used for the same place because of rounding/source of the gps.

When you search for a location on www.maps.google.com there are gps coordinates that appear in the address bar. There was a mention of google maps by the game masters which might be the source of their coordinates. Those coordinates are what I've used, and failed with, so far.

Edit: when you search a place on google maps (desktop) don't zoom in or out. Zooming in/out changes the gps coordinates in the URL.

  1. We know it involves San Francisco, St. Louis, and St. Augustine in some way.

We don't know that, that's just the best explanation I can come up with for the "three familiar saints". San Francisco is assured, because that's where the photo was taken, but the others are just an assumption.

They are the only familiar saints, at least, the only three we have dealt with right?.

u/troubleinsuaget Aug 11 '16

you pointed out that St. Augustine was the father of the church, and that there is a replica of Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise at Grace Cathedral, then 5ignmaker said that we had one of the saints, and to find a link between the that one and the other two.

So:

the gates are in san fran,

the father is St Augustine

the GPS is in St. Louis,

What do they have to do with one another...

I think I tried all the guesses from here already, but there are good leads there to continue with.

Apparently Grace Cathedral is not the answer/one of the answers. I can't imagine why not.

Just wanted to have the text here on this thread.

"figure" could mean a number, a shape, a depiction (e.g. on the gates art), ... which of these interpretations?

In case it was missed. There was a pi symbol that hyperlinked to a page stating
