Just a thought..

Perhaps if a LOST ARG sub-forum is created here (which it REALLY REALLY needs to be), we ought to have separate threads going for different countries.. with the UK starting before the US things may operate on a different timetable, so this can get confusing as all hell pretty quickly.


I completely agree, this will be especially important when 3 different continents are playing at once, so trying to balance all the power between would be difficult, not to mention the possible problems of spoilers and the hardship that will be associated with searching for a post.

Frustratingly, my danish friend is on Skype but "Not Available". Gaaargh!

It's Dutch - the company is meant to be in Copenhagen. I might have to try and find where the office is meant to be.

Quote:
Persephone is the goddess of the underworld in Greek mythology. She is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, goddess of the harvest. Persephone was such a beautiful young woman that everyone loved her, even Hades wanted her for himself. One day, when she was collecting flowers on the plain of Enna, the earth suddenly opened and Hades rose up from the gap and abducted her. None but Zeus, and the all-seeing sun, Helios, had noticed it.


From Web,


Another part of that myth was that Demeter, Persephone's mother, ravaged the earth for the return of her daughter. Hades tricked Persephone into eating four seeds, which damned her to spend 1 month a year in the underworld for each seed she ate.


From what I remember, it's basically the myth of the seasons. When Demeter is on Earth, it's Summer. When she travels to the Underworld, it's Fall. When she's there, it's Winter, and her travel back to earth is Spring. Or so I was always taught.

The fact that Persephone was an unwilling "captive bride" always creeped me out when I was little, but Greek mythology is full of that stuff. Knowing this, it's GOTTA mean something.

 		This image is the white writing you get when hovering over the grey on the bermuda triangle

I was wondering if there is anything else we can extrapolate from this (encrypted code)?

Anyone tried putting it in a text file and trying different file extensions ?

 		Transcript of phone menu choice 1 "General Information&
OK This is as much as I can discern from listening to the messages after picking option 1 in the menu.

Most interesting bit of info: The danish DJ mentions Geronimo Jackson and Magna Carta, which is most definitely IN GAME and fictional!

----

<This part of the message is in Danish - I'm going to try to get my Danish mate to translate it>

<snip>
Klassisk Rock Geronimo Jackson "Magna Carta"

<Then music plays...>
I got my mind on right man You can all turn greener than the .... color on a Sprite can. Can I see the other one colour of the sun (or something!)

<Then a dialling tone is heard>

 		Silly question: Has anyone figured out what the "Inquire Today!" part of the MHA section of the website wants you to put in the little box? I get "timed out" errors every time. Password, maybe?

 		Here is the whole of the GWC letter found after you send a message to Joop

*spoiler*
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

GWC

Global Welfare Consortium 19 September, 2005
Rue Grande 1623
1221 Geneva 27
Switzerland

To: Dr. Roderick Johnson, M.D., Ph.D., Clinical Director,
Centers for Disease control

From: GWC Executive committee
RE: Violation of Ethical Guidelines / The Hanso Life-
Extension Project

CC: Mr. Peter Thompson, Vice President, General counsel,
The Hanso Foundation, Hugh McIntyre, Vice President and Communications Director, The Hanso Foundation

Dr. Johnson:

We have received word of an unfortunate and most alarming
issue in the past days concerning research operations by
The Hanso Foundation in the sub-Saharan region of Africa
Sadly, we have exhausted our mandate as a watchdog organisation and must petition you for a formal investigation.

It has come to our attention that a new strain of meningococcal disease has been reported in the villages of the United Republic of Tanzania. This strain
is particularly alarming in that it has successfully
breached the simian/homo sapiens barrier.

As the enclosed documentation and correspondence
demonstrate , we have repeatedly asked the Executive Board
of The Hanso Foundation for assistance in determining the
possible correlation between the outbreak of this transgenic disease and the research being conducted on
primates in their Experimental Station in Zanzibar.
As our requests have been met with utter and complete disregard, we feel we have no other choice than to demand
your immediate intervention.

As The Hanso Foundation is using primates to research gene
therapies intended for human use, the correlation should
be obvious.

Considering the alarming nature of this outbreak and
the mounting death toll it is imperative that The Hanso
Foundation immediately open the foors of their
Experimental Station for inspection and, should a link be found between their work and this disease, cease and
desist their activities immediately.

Thank you for you prompt attention to this matter.
Lives are at stake.

[Signature here]

Monsier Jacques Maillor
Director General, GWC Executive committee


I've been accurate with punctuation and the attached word document is accurate with line breaks too.

 		Heres the next letter
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

GWC

Global Welfare Consortium 25 September, 2005
Rue Grande 1623
1221 Geneva 27
Switzerland

To: Dr. Roderick Johnson, M.D., Ph.D., Clinical Director,
Centers for Disease control

From: GWC Executive committee

RE: The Hanso Life-Extension Project

Dr. Johnson:

Please consider this a formal apology for the heated and
alarmist tone of out precious correspondence, as well as a
formal request for the withdrawal of former Director General
Jacques Maillot's request for an intervention into the
affairs of The Hanso Foundation.

In the time since Monsieur Maillot's letter, GQC's
inspection team has been welcomed with open arms into The
Hando Foundation's Experimental Station in Zanzibar. Our
thorough examination of the Station has made it clear that
the benign, non-invasive research being conducted there
could not have possibly resulted in the outbreak of a
transgenic virus,

Because we appreciate the CDC's willingness to intervene
when lives are at stake the last thing we want is to abuse
our close relationship with your organization – or sound
alarms before the need is absolutely clear. Once again,
please accept our apologies, and our appreciation of your
diligent response to our correspondence.

[Signature]
Mr. Peter Thompson, Acting director General
Global Health Consortium

same formatting as before with .doc attached

after you click the red ring around Mr. Peter Thompson red writing in large font appears and tells you

"The Hanso foundation setting world speed record for subverting authority."


Thats all from me for the minute

 		hi all... my first post

not sure if anyone noticed but the website www.geronimo-jackson.com has been taken offline, and it appears on top of google searches with the text "Geronimo Jackson 2006. We're getting back together!"
