' New recruits in the war often cut themselves upon open blades or cutlasses, the year I fought evades my memory -no I remember now the year was 1701 what a year for blood shed and tears'.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're on the second stage! Congrats... Are you a Star Trek Fan??? Look at the 1st Letters/numbers of each word..... please get to 2.8 quickly - it's as hard as hell!

[ChristineCro]

ROFLMAO.........Doh, I'm at 2.8 and have everybody working on it,ha,ha..........I'm "spying" on the same sites, you're "spying" on ,I bet you !!! I've typed every number from 1up to 500 in. I've thought up words, put the bliddy letters in an anagram sorter.......tried to figure the "clue" net riddle woman has given, out . I'm going to keep typing numbers in,lol..........200 a day should get me there in a few years time, if in fact it is a number they are they are looking for. I was thinking of getting a team together and everybody doing a certain amount of numbers, but some people seem only to get pleasure out of the riddle, if they actually crack the answer,lol........I just want a result, I haven't got the patience, he, he, he.......Don't worry, if I hear anything, I'll post it on here anyway, because a lot of people have help on here with the first stage ! :o))))
