I don't know if I already mentioned this...but I emailed Every Sunday through youtube..the woman who posted the youtube video on Nico.
Today I got this short response:

Conclusion, do we know where Nico is? What should I do next?

Also, I am still waiting for an email from the Kyrgyzstan Embassy on the translation, but the may not respond at all.

How are we going to translate the video?

Doing a search on Keotag with 'worldwithoutoil' I came across this link

http://www.crisisenergetica.org/search.php?author=2002&dateend=&datestart=&keyType=phrase&mode=search&query=&topic=0&type=forum

From first blush, there's nothing of import. Until you look at the author . . .

'SINOIL' which might just be a coincidence or not. Hard to say.

This also leads to yuckmuck's del.icio.us (http://del.icio.us/yuckymuck)

Later edit: Digging around, SINOIL is a real company.
From - http://www.nbr.org/publications/analysis/pdf/vol9no2.pdf

At the same time, CNPC and Sinochem formed Sinoil (China National United Oil Corpora-
tion, also called Chinaoil) to import and export crude oil, to import equipment needed by CNPC,
and to engage in exploration and development of oil fields overseas. Sinoil was formed to be a
"global industrial conglomerate," able to compete in the world oil economy for exploration
contracts in foreign oilfields. Initially Sinoil obtained most of its crude exports from Daqing and
exported these primarily to Japan (9.3 million tons in 1994). The corporation will concentrate on
retapping old oil fields. Forming a joint venture with an American partner, Sinoil bought 98 old
oil wells in east Texas. Sinoil will expand overseas into Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and the
United States. Sinoil invested in a Hong Kong holding company, Seaunion Holdings Ltd., to
develop fields in Indonesia and Mongolia

A friend and I started reading into this ARG as possibly a first one to try.

I apologize if I missed this posted somewhere. Skimmed through the thread and didn't notice it posted (unless I missed it). Probably me just just getting a little too excited about my first ARG.

World Without Oil on Myspace.

Figured since alot of the info takes place on Blog and such, we would check MySpace for one. It says it's by Inky_Jewel.

The latest blog (March 30th) has a link to http://www.worldwithoutoil.org/teach/.

You can download the page as a PDF as well.

Once again, sorry if I just reposted known information. Might not mean anything, but thought I would mention it.

Today has been a big deal for me, as some of you may know. I apologize if I may be stretching.

I honestly feel that Nico is tied to A FEW "real" events.
They may be the past, yes.

My brain is aching...going to bed. Nice work ALL of you today. It has been a real blast talking to all of you so far, the last few days I have met some really nice, cool, and interesting souls. Thanks 4 letting me have FUN.

...game hasn't even started

iamlocalboy seems to have an AIM account, although I can't confirm.

Regarding the latest video, the woman's reference to Grace is very odd. Almost as if she knows of Grace in a way that is more personal than one who would only know of Grace because of Nico's stories about the airport meeting. Has there been any intel on the identity of Grace's father?

Actually, in rewatching, I think you are right. There is a Town Car parked in front of the restaurant. Not many of those in Europe.

The one at the end. I associate that siren sound with Europe for some reason.

A Russian friend watched it and confirmed that it was not Russian. They actually felt that it wasn't Slavic at all. I wonder if it's Middle Eastern. (It's not Hebrew.) I also did a quick shot-by-shot, which I posted on my LJ. It's as close to a transcript as I could do, and I omitted all the foreign language shots for obvious reasons. You can read that here: http://wwo-mordy.livejournal.com/2089.html

I think we need a translation. Also, a read on the car would be nice (any car people around here?). At some point, I'll analyze my transcript for hints (some ready ones: she removes her sunglasses during the foreign language part, we have some location hints, we might be able to figure out whether she took the footage herself or if someone took it of her, etc).

I beleive the car is a Citroen, a French manufacturer.

Edit: Like this one (?)
