Has anyone made actual contact with him?

Also, does anyone know where that map is from?


Is it in Spanish?! 'usted entro por aqui'

Yeah it is, pretty much: 'You enter here' or 'This is the entrance'.

 		I wonder if asking us to pick science fiction author alter-egos is symbolic - that we'll need to use speculative ideas/fictions in order to mitigate Peak Oil. Traditional ideas won't work... science fiction might. Etc.

 		ok, this photobucket album in question - do we know if this the album of an ingame character? many photos seem possibly related to oil, but the profile name "Iniscool" - how does it connect to the people we know?
I want to add it to the wiki, but only if it's significant to what we know or where we're going here...

Since it has a picture of Nico, i'd say it's highly likely.

Yeah. I'm fairly certain it's significant. My theory (loosely collaborated by dessum5 on the lj community) is that it's Nico's pictures. That he took the picture of himself, even (which would explain where his hands are) and might give some insight into where he was traveling to. We haven't decoded it all yet, but I think it's highly significant.

From the Livejournal community. Here's the post where the pictures were revealed: http://community.livejournal.com/worldwithoutoil/3444.html

 		Robert A. Heinlein? Does that make sense? It might help if I read science fiction.

 		While I'm not totally convinced the new photo album belongs to one of the 8tsoc (it sounds like Pachinko stumbled across it), I think that it's definitely IG. Otherwise, half of 8tsoc wouldn't be fretting over whether or not it was Nico in that picture, after it was posted by Pachinko.

Yeah there's a wiki...

You basically need a VOX, Livejournal and AIM. There's been quite a bit of pre-game activity on Livejournal and AIM. Go to the wiki to get filled in on the basics. For the rest skim over the past posts on here.
