I talked to a professor at Berkeley, and she says that the language is Bulgarian. She's forwarding the email to a native speaker to hopefully translate.

I have also sent the audio to the Bulgarian native speakers yahoo group, begging for help in exchange for service as a native english speaker (which they want). Let's hop they help out.

Wow, kudos to you guys Smile

I wonder what these out of game folks think when they get emailed a link to what is essentially an espionage style video, with us asking "tell us what that spy is saying" Smile

ok i'm new here, and at the moment am not prepared to read through 26 pages (although i got to page 9!) so i'll read more tomorrow.

I'm quite looking forward to this, hopefully I can become involved with it, but I do have exams and such coming up.

I'll probably be back here tomorrow to try and learn more about this game.

My aim is: xtransistorx2x
and msn: tommclaughlanSPLAThotmail.com

if anyone wants to IM me and possibly enlighten me on the goings on.

i'm going to bed now though.

night

Snag-a-Steg

Okay, anyone else see this thing?? http://pic15.album.tom.com/album_pic/2006/02/09/e6459a096d3c5b46d00be7f8b6bc944f

what if we set up a Flickr (or something similar) page where people could add or take flyers and posters? It would be nice if we could utilize the cumulative efforts of our design skills as CaptainZ says, but it might be easier to see what all people have contributed if they were on a single Flickr page rather than spread across the forum.

Steg's original position

Went to echiechi.com, and after some digging, found the original image context.

http://echi.docean.net/echiboard/hiyaboard.php?tb=echi&ct1=2&no=293&work=LIST

Once loaded, go to image 84. Check the blog below, maybe something interesting...

Gragh!! I swiped the image from it's original place, and it's jphide stegged on echiechi.com as well. The other images aren't, but hmmm... Red herring? And am I beating a known dead horse here?

That's a good idea Creatureattack...

I've set up a flickr group at http://www.flickr.com/groups/wwo/

There's nothing there right now, of course, but it's open for photo pooling. There's room for moderators also if need be.

If anyone has flyers or graphics, or photos, or whatnot to share, we now have a flickr pool Smile
(and if you have a suggestion for a better group description, by all means post it=)

Major ridiculous conversation with gracesmom! She's in way over her head!

Quote:

Xuratu In Blue: Hey! You safe?
gracesmominnh: Hi! Just checking my email before bedtime Smile
Xuratu In Blue: Just making sure you didn't go meet Nico -- or if you did, you were okay. I'll leave you to your email.
gracesmominnh: omg omg omg
gracesmominnh: more email from nico
Xuratu In Blue: yikes
Xuratu In Blue: what's it say?
gracesmominnh: says hes in trouble and he needs to see me tonight! :O
Xuratu In Blue: No way.
Xuratu In Blue: He can be in as much trouble as he wants, but it's not safe for you to go so suddenly.
gracesmominnh: gtg I need to talk to Gala
Xuratu In Blue: okay, stay safe
Xuratu In Blue: you should post the email on the blog
Xuratu In Blue: others might be able to read something into it.

THEORY!:
nico defected from some foreign operatives to the United States. they let him go at the time and didn't pursue him because he wasn't important enough to risk international incident. this foreign power wants nico to "come home" to their own government now that he knows something of value (regarding the oil situation).

what do you guys think?


Or that Nico is a foreign agent for a government (or organization) that's going to cause the April 30th event. He defected and told the 8TSOC in an attempt to do something about it, but in the process drew attention to himself.

Well at least she's alive, I was getting a bit paranoid. Razz

I'm starting to lean the same way jjason is, but I also think it's probably not a good idea to risk it.

EDIT: Actually, jjason was replying to something else, but I think that his analysis applies to gracesmom's situation. Nico could be a good guy who's under a lot of pressure.
