You've had the help of your Forum Friends, and so another game begins. You'll receive a message from my Horsemen Four, each one a clue to your latest score. You may want to use your number pad; the number row would be very bad. If you end up stuck: take a breath, close your eyes. It'll take more than one sense to find out your prize. I know rhyming riddles are rather cliche, but sometimes thing feel right, what else can I say?

Also, maybe for reference, here is Indie's Satan post:

aach, forgot the damn Wishlist part of the email. Corrected and resent.

Wishpost: hey there Satan.
I quite like books about interesting historical and sociological stuff (For example, two wonderful books I already own: Tokyo Vice about a foreign crime journalist in Japan, and Lords of the Horizon about the history of the Ottoman Empire).
I'm also a giant nerd, so fantasy/sci books are good. Just bought Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch and I'd love to get more books from that series.
Videogames are also great. I like most every genre that isn't racing or sports. I got a 360, but I prefer PC games. Region Free or PAL are the ones I can work with, and I'm indiewinter on Steam if you wanna check out my wishlist there.
I like that them webcomics a whole dang bunch (QC, Homestuck, Gunnerkrigg Court, Johnny Wander, Octopus Pie, Bad Machinery, not Sinfest oh god), so webcomic stuff's good.
Shirts are also fine, I'm a 2XL. I'd like stuff that isn't too blatently nerdy, I've got waay to many of those already.
Cool posters/statues/art stuff is damned welcome, if you want to go through the considerable hassle of shipping it here. My favorite artist is Beksinski, got his artbook last time I did Secret Satans. I love fantastic realism, and "classy" stuff (my personal definition of classy: something you wouldn't mind putting in an early 20th century office for decor).

if you're really, truly at a loss, feel free to PM me directly.

The clarification that 'puncutation is important' is something we maybe should look at. Perhaps ordering the clues will help reveal something.

So if there's a period after "Paris" maybe that means it's the last clue in the sequence?

Edit: nevermind went back to the original clues, they all have periods. The formatting's just been tweaked as we add our guesses.

Where did you guys get Hawaii from those coordinates? When I input them into google all I get is astronomy stuff.

Brovid Hasselsmof

So what I'm hearing is that Indie Winter's secret Satan is Stephen King? I didn't even know he was a member of the forums.

GPS formatting would be 19 53.868, -155 34.97399. Negative because it's west.

Aneurhythmia

Someone figure out what the emphasis on periods is about. Maybe the clues and the coded answers aren't matched by line.

facetious

Also totally out of left field but the 'a lion in name' clue

I just remembered that Snoop Dogg recently changed his stage name to Snoop Lion.

I don't think this is actually helpful but I am sinking into madness.

Rankenphile

I think the Stephen king connection is a pretty long stretch, but I definitely don't have any better ideas, so

James Davis was an NYC politician whose brother ran for his seat after he was assassinated one year after Stephen King planned to retire from writing after being hit by a van in an "accident." Coincidence?

facetious

Wait.

JFK apparently used to live in Gramercy Park?

So that's two clues that could point to Ted Kennedy?

ceres

When I see that clue I think Disney, not Stephen King. :P

Zonugal

This is all of you right now.

Wait, what was the other one? Was it that Ted Kennedy was the Lion of the Senate?

ceres

Also James Davis was a linebacker for the Detroit Lions, so

Maybe replacing carriage returns is something to look into

What is with these notifications that just started appearing

is anyone else getting these or is my schizophrenia finally presenting?

facetious

Yeah that was @Nogs' guess.

Also, the first letter of each clue is in reverse alphabetical order: c, b, a. In reverse chronological order, from the year of Davis' assassination in 2003 to King's planned retirement in 2002 to HAL's assassination in 2001...

These actually fit together. Secretary of State Dean Rusk was in Hawaii when he gave the order to assassinate JFK. Look it up.
