I was thinking Ophelia for the John Waterhouse's favorite, but the 1903 would end up being Echo and Narcissus.

Say Carrus navalis 3 times fast...lol

The clock picture: something happens at the stroke of midnight, or does "stroke" refer to paint strokes, which leads back to John Waterhouse? hmmm....

Moirae are Fates.
Are we fated to never guess the riddle?

Ok, 1903 John Waterhouse painted 4 pictures, maybe someone can figure with the titles?

Boreas
Echo and Narcissus
Psyche Opening the Golden Box
Wind Flowers

Car is Navy Threads of Fate Prove Echo
Time for my walk, everybody.

My bad...1902 not 1903.

mea domina



BFG-Guy

Well, according to my sources, 32°56′2″N, 96°23′4″W translates into Dallas, Texas

mea domina = my lady, or madam??

I have Fate, Texas.

Ana

Fate, Texas---oooh, that sounds good for a game---

This is too funny; I know I haven't a clue other than surmising that a game cd might be on sale for .99.
Do you have to belong to BF to participate in the confusion?

Maybe this will help? City of Fate, Texas

Trippy, you are more than welcome to participate in the mystery. Gameboomers is not responsible for sleepless nights though.

EDIT: Mr. BFG-Guy, give me back my notes There now...much better.

Ana

we still love you BFG-Guy

Threads of Fate Show in my Crystal Ball in Dallas Texas, with my little red wagon

I got it! Midnight in the Garden of Fate, Texas!!!

Or not.

This has been fun following these clues...but as to solutions...I'm clueless!

Fate, Texas does sound like a neat location for an adventure game!

I am so confused now

There was a skull hidden in the picture The Crystal Ball.

Ana

I love it JKEerie

I'm totally lost.

Bets

I may be lost in this puzzle but I couldn't wait to get here tonight to see what has been going on. This thread is HOT HOT HOT!

I had found the fate but that was all.

Does it have anything to do with the Robert Fate Mysteries?

Or The Hands of Fate filmed in Texas?

Here's what I've got so far:

Fate is referenced twice, by the coordinates above and the reference to the fates.
mea domina is related to the Madonna, in that "Madonna" is a corrupted form of "mea domina".
1902 leaves two possible paintings: "The crystal ball" is possible, but I'd lean more towards "The Missal," since it would be better related to the Madonna.

That's the stuff I'm fairly certain of. Now for the rest:

"shew" could refer to a show, OR it could be phonetic for "shoe," in which case a shoe made of a "hard natural material" would be...a clog? Or possibly a sabot?

That leaves Carrus Navalis, which sounds like "Careless Novelist," ... which sounds like "pancakes," to me.

Demosthenes, you had me following intently, quite impressed with your deductions and then I got to "pancakes".

Ana

Yeah...that's me never knowing how to quit while I'm ahead.

I was all excited Demosthenes... I thought you had it! Pancakes? Hmmmmm, now all this thinking has me hungry!

Couple of other thoughts, just in case they're useful for anyone:

As someone noted before, "mea domina" could just be "My Lady", which could in turn lead to "My Lady Fate" or just "Milady Fate."

It's probably best to avoid the utterly tangential link to Milady de Winter...

And no, I don't have a clue who "M. Douglas" is, or why that clock (inexplicably linked from a police department website) is either striking midnight or noon.

You are on track but for many of the clues you are straying from the path to enlightenment.

Clues:

Lord Omar Khayyam for lessor of my main man of The Call of the Wild a quarter a fortnight prior to all saints eve. MCF the next a half piece of a fortnight latter to Night of Samhain of the name those of the GB forum have already so guessed in prior posts just not in the order o' correctness.

What about
As the clock strikes midnight, all is lost for those of carrus navalis, but smiles on the faces of all GBers!


Perhaps I have said too much...will I go the way of mea domina?

BFG-Guy

Well, the first part apparently means that Ravenhearst will be made available for $0.99 on October 27th, followed a little over a week later (on the 7th) by the next MCF, which will be called....something which can be abbreviated "MF", and probably includes the word Fate?
