New ATS GAME ON !

my cookies are gone and I am forced to start over. as such, I'm out. too much work to do before my vacation and this game isn't pulling me in like the others.

best of luck with it.

Ohhhh Noooo! The 'fellowship' is falling apart!

Come on Crakeur, how am I gonna get all the answers, if you don't find 'em for me, first?

(There is a way to get around the cookies thing , if you're running Firefox. Not sure about IE)

I'll gladly help out when I can but the truth is, the thread is deathly quiet, which means the idea bouncing ain't happening so we don't know what's being tried etc.

besides, I'm leaving town on the 21st for a week and, the way things are going, y'all will still be trying to figure out what Reuben was afraid of. Anyone try simoncowell.html?

Yea, seems like alot of the day players have vanished, this game.

I'm trying to get all my work buttoned up before the end of the year, as well, so I'm not on in the day hours as much, either.

So rain or paperwork days are my only excuses to day play.

Ha, ha, you may well be right about Reuben.

Very Odd website about our funniest Reubens, Paul "Pee-Wee."

I don't know ... I'm still stuck on this Reuben:

www.thetrumpet.com...

Reuben did not act with courage and dignity. Afraid of his enraged brothers—so afraid he didn’t even remain with them to see what they finally decided to do with Joseph (v. 29)—all Reuben could think of was compromise.

I've tried brother, brothers, enraged brothers, angry siblings ... no dice. Anyone else think I might be on the right track?

I'm failing to see the conspiracy angle , in that biblical story.

I know the clues are not chronological, but
do you really think we would go from Mid Twentieth century ,
all the way back to early biblical history?

I would lean toward the questions still being in a general timeline , at least century-wise.

But who knows with this game.

Some other spellings for Reuben-

Reuben, an uncommon, but not rare, given name amongst English-speaking peoples (may be abbreviated to Reubie or Ruby, and is alternatively spelled in some languages as Ruben, Rubén, or Reuven)

It was a conspiracy with his brothers to keep Joseph down, and they all told their father that he was dead (even though he wasn't). Reuben, being the oldest (I think) and next in line to his father should have told him the truth but was afraid of his brothers and thus agreed to lie about Joseph. Probably has nothing to do with it, but it's the only major place where I can find Reuben and conspiracy in the same article.

Could 'Reuben's Fear' be an anagram?

Tried...

How the heck are we supposed to solve this when the question is so vague.
If we had some kind of reference point it would probably help.

Odd,

Just after Mechanic's last post, where the smiley would be, I saw a grey button with a white dot in it. I right clicked and selected show picture. But it disappeared. I reloaded the page and in place of the white nothing, sat a smiley. A minute later tried closing all the windows and going back to the thread. The smiley was gonE. Does anyone get this or know what has happened?

just checkin' in


I've been looking into
ReubenFleet
and
Consolidated Aircraft Corporation

Ten days before Pearl Harbor is attacked by the Japanese, Reuben Fleet sells the controlling interest to Consolidated.
1941-1945
During the war, Consolidated produced over 18,000 B24 Liberator bombers and a similar number of PBY flying boats which were instrumental in winning the war. The "Catalina" PBY flying boats air-tracked the Bismarck nine days and nights until she was sunk by the British Fleet, and located the Japanese fleet at the Battle of Midway. Reuben Fleet has always maintained that the surprise attack at Pearl harbor could have been prevented had the PBY's been fulfilling their function there.

(emphasis mine)

Reuben H. Fleet

Nothing yet.

Thanks for the hint. Hopefully the rest of the questions aren't quite this vague.

Next one:

The creation of the original 12

Nice! Ketamine to the rescue.

I wasn't even close to the answer...

So the next question, deals with mj12 maybe? could it be that easy?

12 apostles
Majestic 12
12 Federal Reserve Banks
