Les Guerriers de Mère-Terre is a very bad translation. The correct translation of Mother Earth's warriors is " Les guerriers de la Terre-Mère". I doubt that a "real" French group would made such grammatical errors in their name. They have done a sloppy job, trying to look authentic.


smells fishy... like they went to dictionary.com/translator or something.

 		The Warriors of Mother Earth would translate into Les guerriers de Terre-mere. Its more common to see it phrased Mother Earth's Warriors, but that doesn't make The Warriors of Mother Earth incorrect.

 		Isn't it French?

But I think monster movies in foreign countries (at least Godzilla) the creature was the fault of the U.S.

 		I almost want to believe that no one created this monster...

If anything, it won't be created at the Chuai Station or by T.I.D.O. Wave. This thing's been around alot longer than both. And my basis for this theory is the very first strange clue we've ever recieved; the history of Slusho!

thats what you could think at first but you can say "mere terre" in french...its pretty mystical but you can say it.


Sorry, but French is my first language and I can assure you that mère-terre is not grammatically correct. Just like: a blue cube is a "cube bleu" and so on. The subject always precedes the adjective.

Edit: Ok my bad you get a lot of hits with Mere-terre. Those new-age "special people" just don't know where to stop when it is time to look "special". I apologize for my rigid cartesian mind...

 		Im french too but i guess you saw the google hits...as i said its pretty mystical but that exists...

we freaked out cause of the noum/adjective issue but actually mere terre is more correct than terre-mere which is a neologism but which is more used on a regular basis. Zing.

but hey i dont wanna split hairs

Was it perhaps "attomaku"? It's Japanese for @, "at-mark", アットマーク.

You're right about those coordinates being in the vicinity of Chaui though.

I noticed something else about those numbers on the Cruel-etin Board. There are five post-it notes, and three of them have numbers, the "fun facts" ones. Something else each of those 'fun facts' postits have in common is a date, a year, at the start of the 'fun fact.' The other two don't start with a year. So, in terms of the year-number, it goes like this:

Fun Fact #42 - 1961
Fun Fact #18 - 1981
Fun Fact #33 - 1986

I don't know what the significance of this might be, but thought it was worth pointing out.


Just spitballing here.

No combination of the numbers I've tried is an ip address, and I ran through quite a few of them (fun fact numbers + 19, fun fact numbers + year numbers, etc etc etc).

If they are co-ordinates (with the year dropped and the number reversed, you can make the second set usable for geolocation), they don't point anywhere important as far as I can tell.

42° 18' 33.00"N, 68° 18' 16.00"E- Somewhere in Southern Kazakhstan
42° 18' 33.00"N, 68° 18' 16.00"W- Off the coast of Boston
42° 18' 33.00"S, 68° 18' 16.00"E- A nowhere spot in the Indian ocean, southeast of the horn of Africa, west of Australia, and north of Antarctica.
42° 18' 33.00"S, 68° 18' 16.00"W-The mountainous interior of Argentina

42° 18' 33.00"S could be the same latitude that Keiko station sits on, so I could just be barking up the wrong tree with the reversed years. I'm leaning towards this only being relevant for the time I spent looking up the coordinates so others won't have to. Smile

Zoloft or one of those will help considerably. I remember when I had voices in my head making me do things. I understand. If you need a friend I am here.

 		I would think that if TIDO wanted to cause some pain, they would have already published a list of extensions. If those are extensions TIDO would have knowledge of them. I do not believe TIDO would be so cryptic. An activist organization would just put it out there.

Actually, a more interesting job would be about the thing only to save me. I appreciate your concern, really I do, but the voices don't tell me anything to do with this ARG. They only insist I go BM in a variety of inconvenient places... The kids at Souper Salad will never be the same again.

 		Sorry if this has been posted before, but I noticed that the posts on the Tidowave page goes like:

http://tidowave.com/blog/?p=5
http://tidowave.com/blog/?p=6
http://tidowave.com/blog/?p=7
http://tidowave.com/blog/?p=8
http://tidowave.com/blog/?p=9
http://tidowave.com/blog/?p=11

I'm not familiar with Wordpress, but is there a reason why it's skipping some numbers and the first one is 5?
