Just putting Ferre's thoughts out there: Dixie 1 (Dixie) SUS 1|15 (Southern United States) M 5 (Metropolitian areas...) MD 6 (Maryland) WC 3|3 (Washington County) L 4|2 J.H 2T.M 3|29 (Name of Victim) ^ I think that this is important. The "1" in Dixie could be South Carolina which, according to wikipedia, was the first state that seceded from the Confederate States of America. There's only one post made that mentionen South Carolina, made by bokchoy67. Also, "L" = Louisiana/Lincoln? The initials is probably supposed to represent states or countys; Click3ty's post proved that was possible. I'm pretty sure Zang's list will help us a lot; we are probably supposed to single out one of the persons living in Southern United States. The initials and numbers are clues to where to look. For example, we could be supposed to look at the Pogotribe location map; there could be clues there. If we go by the suggestion above, the first clue would be in Dixie 1, S.U.S, 1|15 (Maryland), M (county/area), 5 (...fifth person in alphabetical order living there?)

MD 6 (Maryland) WC 3|3 (Washington County) L 4|2 J.H 2T.M 3|29 (Name of Victim) Just clearifying myself; I found these by this; Dixie > en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DixieS.U.S was in the first line of text (Southern United States) Then I somehow got to 1|5 and the M of Metropolition areas and the 5th thingy had MD in it and then somehow I got to WC = Washington County so I have no idea whether I'm correct or not so please also think for yourself xD

1. The riddle is an online treasure map.
2. The above mentioned map is to be used at a specific web page
3. The clues got nothing to do with where members live.

I've tried using the clues on wikipedia. Searching for Dixie, then clicking on Southern US, then looking for 15 things. Ugh. Stuck.

Maybe we should try something that's not wikipedia.

Yeah, I mean, Wikipedia led me to some place in Florida (don't ask. I had no clue what I was doing). Maybe something like Google maps would work? I'm just thinking of some other stuff we could try.

If this is a treasure map then I suppose the letters represent a place and the numbers coordinates in those places... but it's weird because some are in pair (which work for coordinates) and some are not. ({[<-This statement was brought to you by Captain Obvious]})I tried using the "coordinates" in the culture space project, but I didn't find anything that seemed interesting. Also, assassinator said that Dixie was a "very important part of the clue", maybe we should look for a site with Dixie in its name or related to anything Dixie I tried www.dixie.com/ ...It didn't work, unless I missed something. (it still could be a wiki site, but I doubt it) Or maybe Dixie is just as very important as any other initial/letter D:

Either this is right, or the biggest coincidence in history <-- says Amber

Either this is right, or the biggest coincidence in history <-- says Amber I'm just trying to figure out how the assassinator would have gotten there. We can protect Ferre anyway, since we have 5 protects. Let's keep thinking anyway though.

Wow, I got to the Mississipi thing from the 1|15, but then got confused and give up. Great *o* ... hey, but, isn't the first link with M in the Mississipi article the link to the article of the Mississipi River instead of the mottos article? (<- just saying for anyone who still wants to come up with another idea). Anyways, I think Zang is right

Tried it. It was a dead end.

Worst case scenario, if we don't find out anything else, protect Ferre.

Zang, you're half right, half wrong.
You are using both Google and Wikipedia.

Alright, we have about 3 hours left. I'm just gonna go ahead and protect Ferre as he's our only lead.
