Hmmm... maybe they make up the craggy nexus of three? H, A and P. Oh geez, that rhymed.

In running through the board I noticed that your copy of the spiral text didn't have the smaller letters in it... the letters inside the letters, you guys have those from ARGFest, right?

rose, I posted a high-res scan of my full spiral in the spiral thread, so they can see the tinier letters.

Hmm.... makes sense. Maybe Omnifam is waiting for two other people to send in something about FOR member being in there area and then they'll go find a rock, paint (spray paint?) the A or P, and leave a clue. That would be a lot of trouble though...

hey, guys I'm not a regular omnifam player, but I noticed the spiral at ARGFest.
"lkug pa" is transcribed Tibetan for idiot or fool. (though, literally it's more like without speech, dumb, etc etc.)

Sorry for being late, I only received the Omnifam mail today. My coin letter is H, and the message out of the spiral is : "[...]he way market. RoAM the m[...]"
Here is the picture.

Ikus-pa is incorrect. The spiral actually reads "lkug-pa" there as well - it's all lowercase.

Omnifam Ikus-pa! What's the matter? Arvin so blind and dumb, needs his minions to see for him. No go. Too LKUG PA to find the way marker. RoAM the mountains in your little great superpower. Arvin go back to your American Methlab and just TRY to out pace your death. I'm paying you back for the kindness you showed me. Keep one to pay Charon. You can't out pace ME.
So LKUG PA is foolish in Tibetan. This makes sense. Is this a clue? Roam the mountains.... what mountains are in Tibet? Is there some kind of "way marker" in the Himalayas that we need to find?

Ahhh now it makes sense: "Foolish Omnifam!....Too foolish to find the way marker" The 'roam the mountains' part is making fun of us I think, telling us to just go roam the mountains to find it.
ETA: The fact that it was written in Tibetan supports a theory of mine. In the letter that I received from Omnifam that they had intercepted from the FoR the writer was a Rambaldi follower who was presumed dead. That, along with the Tibetan, makes me think this is Conrad the monk who told Sloane about the passenger all the way back in S2 and told Sydney that the Passenger was her sister in S3. It makes sense (to me at least).

in the latter the bomber says that is paying slone back for the kindess he shows him so the bomber has to be sombody slone tried to kill.

Sloane didn't necessarily try to kill him, he might just have screwed him big in a business transaction or something like that.

I just got my package today. It has the same memo as the others, and the coin and spiral paper. The paper says "t's the matter?", so I'm assuming it's "What's the matter?". The coin has the house/gravestone symbol with an H on it, and of course the Rambaldi symbol on the back. I've attached pictures for your perusal.

Something's been nagging at me about the spiral text. The talk of the mountains and the superpower keeps reminding me of the prophecy.
"The woman here depicted will possess unseen marks. Signs that she will be the one to bring forth my works...bind them with fury; a burning anger. Unless prevented, at vulgar cost, this woman will render the greatest power unto utter desolation. This woman, without pretense, will have had her effect, never having seen the beauty of my sky, behind Mount Subasio. Perhaps a single glance would have quelled her fire."
I don't know if it has anything to do with this or not, but I thought I'd mention it.
