    zip codes are 5 digits and we would need more number for all 18 locations. i think its a little more detailed than that. im thinking the number could be part of an actual address or it could just be a location and not have an actual address we need more clues to get any further.

    New Clue!!

    Riposte Coop

    Riposte: 1) a quick clever reply to an insult or criticism.
    2)Fencing- a quick return thrust following a parry.

    Coop: a cage or pen for confining poultry

    Im still lost with this one!

    Yeah, I kind of gave up on the zip code idea this afternoon while messing around. It could be a set of addresses. We can kind of narrow it down, since most addresses aren't more than five digits and none of them start with zero. There's a start I suppose.

    I'm thinking possibly an anagram? Doesn't seem too meaningful on its own.

    It's an anagram for 'scorpio poet' according to Google.

    new Clue #6
    "Its called the Cyclic-Uproar"

    heres what ive found so far...will look in to it some more!

    "Sirs, after the lapse of a hundred thousand years, the cycle is to be renewed; this world will be destroyed; also the mighty ocean will dry up; and this broad earth, and Sineru, the monarch of the mountains, will be burnt up and destroyed,--up to the Brahma heavens will the destruction of the world extend. Therefore, sirs, cultivate friendliness; cultivate compassion, joy, and indifference; wait on your mothers; wait on your fathers; and honor your elders among your kinsfolk."

    This is called the Cyclic-Uproar.

    i think that this has something to do with groupings of three. The cyclic uproar is the first part of a 3 phase "Buddah Uproar." I read that its called "The Book of Three's" Here is something i also found

    NOW while the Future Buddha was still dwelling in the city of the Tusita gods, the "Buddha-Uproar," as it is called, took place. For there are three uproars which take place in the world,—the Cyclic-Uproar, the Buddha-Uproar, and the Universal-Monarch-Uproar.

    ok im starting to think that the numbers are paired in 3's. if you multiply 18x3=54
    there are 26 numbers before and after the ?...which altogether equals 52. So Im guessing that the ? equals 2 missing numbers....wait but that makes no sense with the grouping of 3's since
    ?=Saviour...and that complete just puts my theory to Crap!!! uhhhhh...will work on it some more!

    not saying your right or wrong...
    but keep in mind that 1000 = information... so the track titles come from a number... so really.. the way I see it...

    ? does = a NUMBER and that number relates to Saviour..... sooo really ? could be 2 digits.. those 2 digits just somehow equal Saviour...

    hmm... i think we have been on this same idea for awhile now... this new clue might back up the "3" grouping idea a little more...

    anyways.. back to looking

    Just thought I'd link to the dredg fansite's version of this thread, they seem to be knocking their heads pretty hard over there to. Couldn't hurt to look at some other ideas:

    At first I thought you'd said that because you were proud that dredg had a large enough fan base to merit a fansite or something, and then I read your profile, haha. I guess that's still part of it, though. That's a classy website you got there : )

    Was just doing my daily pondering...

    RIPOSTE COOP must be an anagram.
    http://wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=riposte+coop&t=1000&a=n
    Only bummer is there are 1930 possibilities.

    Maybe this leads us to the location of a book of The Birth of the Buddha? (cyclic-uproar)

    Kind of stating things already said, sorry. If there are 18 locations, these clues likely apply to all of those locations, so what can these 18 locations have in common? What I said above is pretty similar to the first treasure hunt, but maybe that's the direction to go.

    I'm curious why you think its an anagram...
    the fact that it is in Capital Letters is throwing me off... why capitals... drew would write in lower case.. so he meant to do this for a reason.. but can't imagine this standing for something..

    leading to a book / library isnt a bad idea.. the clues will either tell us what cities are in play.. or universal clues that all can use for the beginning...
