OK everyone I just woke up and H_A has given me the OK to post this.
I found the ring late last night "after my bedtime" lol. I want to thank everyonein the Hunt, this has been an awesome group effort. You are all Captains in my eyes.

I recieved some disturbing emails in my personal account this morning not listed on this site. It said:

"I know who you are Captain and you will not last to combine your words. I am watching. I am everywhere."

It was simply signed -5- and there were 2,012 of them, all identical, it overflowed my account. Im a bit disturbed. I hope my ring arrives safely.

Hmm I found the ring on the last website given by DEEP in Thomas Crownes avatar, look at the hand holding the leash closely. I will add the web page with all my clues when I get the right link. Sorry.

Z Out

EDIT: Link didnt work

Congratulations Captain!

I had a feeling it was you to. Well Done!!

Great work my friend, great indeed.

If I may be so bold, could you please send me the header information of that e-mail to me within a private message (u2u). That would be very helpful.

CONGRATS !!!

I was hoping that it was someone who had been in the hunt all along and who had not just happened upon the ring...

You were certainly a huge help to all in the search.

Look forward to the next "episode" in FTR...

Congrats again, and good luck.

Man we made songs together you owe me half that ring (well you dont you found it fair). But i thought we had some sort of connection
Good job and thx for listening to all my pathetic songs lol

where there exactly 2012????

"four captains must unite"

this was on your post in lil white font at the bottom.

Not sure if everyone see's the same things heh.\

X

Zsandmann congrats!! I'm glad to hear it was you. I felt so bad when the 4th ring was found the first time after only 2 clues and I know you were disappointed it had been found so fast, as we all were. This time it was a great hunt and I so enjoyed it.

I hope I can give some help in the final task. Congrats again.

Yes I can see the little white writing too.. It says other stuff like " The new clues reveal more" and such... Congrats ZSandman... Though I could have had a very good chance of finding the ring first, I could not access any of the sites we had to for I have some kinda virus that doesn't allow pop-ups and such.

Yes Cerberus I will get that info to you ASAP I fear -5- may be trying to thwart our efforts with what happened to JCM before and now this

Yes exactly 2012 weird huh?

Yes Xeven Im seeing strange messages as well. I dont know what is going on.

enaxor I hope everyone can help unite the ring words and finally defeat -5-.

And Id like to thank Thomas Crowne for his fine avatar! Im an Alabama native myself Thomas.

Four are not yet one

There is more to do...much more

The Hunt is over but the search begins

The Captains need your help

you must still collaborate and cooperate

deny ignorance

wisdom is the prize

when does wisdom happen?

How does four become one?

Every old clue matters

convergence is near

What does it mean?

four captains must unite

if you help the captains, will you be rewarded?

one task remains

where is wisdom?

why did we hunt?

What is the purpose?

the old clues reveal some

the new cluse reveal more

?

the captains know the words

you must search outside. the search is inside

but only the wise will know

deep is gone

the task is not here. the task is here.

to deny. to accept.

and in the end, the captains are one.

the captains are found

the path to the new is hidden in the old

one task remains for hunters

find the one place

when does wisdom happen to all?

it is very close. it is very far.

one task remains for captains

where is the wisdom found?

you must think of the goal

the words are the key

the truth reveals. the lies expose.

YER MY BOY BLUE....YER MY BOY!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on finding the ring ZSandman it couldnt have happened to a better guy. You make handicapped animals everywhere proud! Keep up the good work and lets get crackalakin on the next phase.

PS I jumped the gun with making fun of your usual "I went to bed and someone found the ring" speech. Guess what someone did find the ring this morning...IT WAS YOU!!! WOOO HOO!

yep we all had some good times together makeing songs about the dots that made no sence

Well you have to think of the DOTS, this ring find is a tribute to all those poor homeless, hurt, or depressed DOTS looking for homes. Please visit your local DOT adoption center.

Congratulations zsandmann! You have worked so hard and been so close and shared so much, you really deserve this ring.

This last hunt was a lot of fun. I loved the dots.

By the way zsandmann, the link to JC's site doesn't work for me.

Good Job to the last Captain of Enlightenment zsandmann.

Very interesting.

Hats off to zsandman, nice work pal.
i was looking in that masons thread after i knew someone had the ring and i still didnt find it.
tell me, what lead you to that kerchner bloke from a time a date and byrd's name? i couldnt find #
you got a sharp set of eyes and wits my friend.
have you talked to the other el capitains?
we dont want to pressure you but as the clues also say we need to help you out aswell

Zodd I simply expanded the threads and went through every forum looking for the time and date given until I found it, its in the UFO forum. Byrd says that guy called him.

I will meet with the other captains this evening and see what we should do.

I cant tell you how many times I was on thomas's profile page, his and tylers, the Dots seem to be taking me to those two. Did you have to blow up the image to get the word.


I tried SO's dogs names, I really thaught it was a dogs ball, after the thread elevatedone made. Well done.
