Discussing possibilities in the IRC chat...The first book of Nancy Drew was brought up (I Drew) also mentioned in here.
I decided to wiki the first book, called "The secret of the Old Clock"
and the similarities are just remarkable.

Josiah Crowley, WOW. Check this out guys:

(I Drew was mentioned by Toad, thanks bud!)

I don't think we should message Daniel until we know what we're telling him and why. I'm not sure what he can do with the information about Crowley (which may or may not be relevant).

Side note: I'm going to be trawling this thread and pulling the useful facts out to put in the first post, just like we normally do with a puzzle thread. From now on, you can look there to see what we've discovered, if anything.

Make sure you're joining #operationaphid, not #operation aphid (I noticed you typed both above). I know that some people had some problems getting in with Java a few months ago, but I thought that was all resolved. Hang on, I'll check to see if the chat has any tech geniuses in it.

Edit: Nieriel, the chat gave me this wise advice: "Stop using Java."

Could the x's at the top indicate a phone number? Like maybe the volumes of the Nancy Drew books go together to make a number? Just a thought I had but didn't see mentioned (but I'm tired so I could've overlooked it).

no. i signed out of the empty room and re-did it carefully just to be sure.

i type "/join #operationaphid"
I get into a room
an EMPTY room :tear:

I think we should definitely go back and look at the previous clues from the Nancy Drew drop. In fact, now might be a time to refer to the "All the things we might have missed" thread, since it seems that we need to reexamine certain items to find our "subtle clue" (insert shameless plug for own thread here).
