trabajado en la Villa Ol�mpica en 1984. Conoc� a muchos atletas y yo
trabajo en nutrici�n deportiva.

Usted escribi� que usted es bueno en deportes. Si usted es muy bueno
en un determinado deporte, entonces usted es probablemente un miembro
de un equipo y que se est�n perdiendo. Por favor, sigan trabajando en
su ejercicio y que nos comunique qu� deporte que est� bien. Tal vez
podamos encontrar a su equipo y su identidad.

Add me to the list of people who are trying to help you and others.

My spanish is high school, but I'll try.

Everybody suggests that you could be an Olympic athlete. I
worked in the Olympic Village in 1984. I met many athletes and I
work in sports nutrition.

You wrote that you are good at sports. If you are very good in a particular sport, then you are probably a member of a team and they are missing you. Please continue to exercise and let us know what sport you are good at. Maybe we find your team and your identity.

Yo ni s� qu� significa, pero tener UN recuerdo es mejor que nada!

Google translation (and cleaned up by me):

Code:

I was told to try judo, rowing or artistic gymnastics,
I'm probably good in these sports ... I do not think they have lost an Olympic athlete, I would know if they were looking for someone.

I was recently doing exercises and found a word in my head: mythopoeia696 (as documented in a video) ... That tells you something?
I don't know what it means, but having a memory is better than nothing!

Thanks again

Have you (or anyone else) told him what we think it means? That is, the translation of the word, plus the 696th Olympic games (assuming every four years, with no break).

Diego,
I'm not sure if you've been informed yet, but there is a website that
we've discovered with very interesting information about an Ancient
Greek sport that required the athletes to be blindfolded. There are
videos (with subtitles in German) here:
http://dotsub.com/home/collections/index.php?collection=88

It may be that you are an athlete trained for this event. Although how
or why I have no idea.

Ouroboros, vi el primer video de este historiador, tambi�n me lo
indicaron Ricardo y Red (otros que intentan ayudarme), te copio lo que
les mand� a ellos:

incre�ble lo que dice este historiador!!

qu� pudo haber llevado a los griegos a destruir toda la evidencia
sobre "el juego m�s importante"? �Qu� cosa puede ser tan importante
ocultar?
Dice que el deporte necesita memoria y orientaci�n... puede eso estar
relacionado con el laberinto? Y por supuesto: la venda...

Quiz� yo estaba jugando este juego, mantenido en secreto durante
tantos a�os, que es jugado con los ojos vendados y en un laberinto, y
de repente perd� mi memoria mientras lo jugaba. Podr�a ser que el
juego sea tan intenso que me haya hecho perder la memoria??

O alguna especie de secta borr� mi memoria a prop�sito, quiz� pensando
o sabiendo que yo iba a develar el secreto de este juego... ahora que
lo pienso, dice orientaci�n, pero no menciona espec�ficamente ning�n
laberinto. Si pudi�ramos relacionar lo que dice este historiador con
los laberintos, seguro es una pista, ya que laberinto y con ojos
vendados definitivamente no es una coincidencia...

me da la sensaci�n que esto tiene que tener algo que ver con nosotros,
pero todav�a hay muchas m�s preguntas que respuestas... qu� pens�s al
respecto? alguna teor�a o hip�tesis?

Partial translation (google, with a little cleanup)

Quote:

What may have led to the Greeks to destroy all the evidence on this "most important game"? What can be so important to hide?
He says the sport needs to memory and orientation ... That can be related to the labyrinth? And of course: the blindfold.

Maybe I was playing this game, kept secret during many years, which is played while blindfolded and in a maze, and suddenly lost my memory while I played. It could be that the game is so intense that it has made me lose memory?

Or some kind of cult erased my memory, perhaps thinking that I was going to reveal the secret of this game ... Now that I think about it, it said orientation, but does not specifically mention any labyrinth.

If we could relate what he says this with historian
Labyrinths, insurance is a track, since maze and eyes
Blindfolded definitely is not a coincidence ...

I feel that this must have something to do with us, but there are still many more questions than answers ... What to think? Any theory or hypothesis?

Yes, in my reply to him (I usually don't post replies until the character has acknowledged receiving it and thus putting it IG):

Subject: Mythopoeia696 = "narrador"

S� que esto suena extra�o, pero ver el v�deo.
http://dotsub.com/home/user/index.php?target=5916

Existe una traducci�n en espa�ol. Se�or Hunt habl� de una "p�rdida de
deporte", en los antiguos Juegos Ol�mpicos que se utiliza blindfolds.
Y el ex "agonothetai" (poseedores de una puerta), que inclu�a el
nombre de su jefe. Significa "narrador".

Los otros atletas que han perdido a sus recuerdos de haber so�ado
otros nombres.
Noriko = temperancia (sophrosune696)
Markus = valor (thumos696)
Mei Hui = sabidur�a (sofia696)

Creemos que el 969 se debe a que el actual de los Juegos Ol�mpicos
hubiera sido la 969a juego (si no hay interrupciones de los antiguos
Juegos Ol�mpicos).

�Podr�a ser usted un atleta, que se jeugo para hacer un deporte ojos vendados?

No hable con el Sr Hunt. �l piensa que estamos locos y no va a hablar
con nosotros sobre el anillo perdido.

[EMAIL] Diego - March 7

From my email to Diego posted above:

Code:

I know this sounds strange, but watch the video.
Http://dotsub.com/home/user/index.php?target=5916

There is a translation in Spanish. Mr Hunt spoke of a "loss of sport", in the ancient Olympic Games which is used blindfolds.
And the former "agonothetai" (possessors of a door), which included the name of his boss. It means "storyteller".

The other athletes who have lost their memories have dreamed of other names.
Noriko = temperance (sophrosune696)
Markus = value (thumos696)
Hui Mei = wisdom (sofia696)

We believe that the 969 is because the current Olympic Games would have been the 969th game (if there are no interruptions of the ancient Olympic Games).

Could you be an athlete, who played a sport blindfolded?

Do not speak with Mr. Hunt. He thinks we are crazy and will not talk with us about the lost ring.

Contar cuentos era un deporte ol�mpico?? Un deporte que mantuvieron en
la oscuridad luego que los griegos pasaron de agonothetai a
hellanodikai? Tal vez esto tenga algo que ver con "paignia aletheia
megas", el juego m�s importante de todos, pero no le encuentro sentido
alguno... cuentacuentos con ojos vendados??

Me dijeron que pruebe hacer mis ejercicios de agilidad con los ojos
vendados, que eso podr�a disparar memoria motriz y hacerme recordar
algo, voy a probar en cuanto pueda!

Que aparezcan m�s datos y pistas es esperanzador, pero por el otro
lado estos datos cada vez me confunden m�s, y sigo sin saber nada de
m�... tiene raz�n Markus, alguien tiene que estar detr�s de todo esto,
si pudieron hacer aparecer 6 personas de la nada y que NADIE las
reconozca, seguramente tengan poder para hacer desaparecerlas tambi�n

Gracias por la ayuda

Code:

Mythopoeia: narrator / storytelling, recently, as I was exercising, this word appeared suddenly in my head:
Mythopoeia696. The truth is that I did not know the meaning of that word until I saw what the historian said.

Telling stories was an Olympic sport? A sport that remained in the dark after the Greeks went from agonothetai to hellanodikai? Maybe this has something to do with "paignia aletheia megs," the most important game of all, but could not find any meaning ... Storytelling with blindfolded?

I was told to try to do my exercises with agility blindfolded, that could trigger memory and make me remember driving something, I will try as soon as possible!

To display more data and tracks is hopeful, but on the other hand these data ever confuse me more, and I do not know anything about me ... Markus is right, somebody has to be behind it all, if people were able to show 6 out of thin air and that NOONE recognized, certainly have the power to make us disappear also.

Thanks for the help

Looks like Markus' paranoia may be rubbing off on Diego. He is getting frightened that the possibility whomever did this to the 6 of them might come get them and do it again.

My most recent email transaction with Diego reveals that he's scared. I've also alerted him that Ariadne is off to Cardiff.

Quote:

Gracias Dev por la ayuda!

No le he escrito a Hunt a�n, mi ingl�s es muy malo, no creo que me
entienda. Otras personas me han dicho tambi�n que no conf�e en �l.
Sabr� algo m�s sobre nosotros y no lo dice? Ser� �l el responsable de
todo esto? Ya no s� qu� pensar, estoy empezando a tener miedo...

Code:

Thanks you Dav for your help!

I have not written to Hunt yet, my English is very bad and I don't believe he'd understand me. Other people have also told me that they don't trust him. You know something more about us that you're not saying? He will be responsible for all this? I don't know what to think, and I'm beginning to get scared...

And my response...

Quote:

"Sabr� algo m�s sobre nosotros y no lo dice?" (You know something more about us that you're not saying?)

Oops. Eso no es lo que quise decir. Hunt sabe m�s sobre ustedes que no los dice. Si se van a esconder, todav�a escriban a nosotros, o nos preocuparemos. Ariadne va a Cardiff para reunirse Hunt y para hacerlo �l hablar. Vamos saber m�s pronto.

Dav

Code:

"Sabr� algo m�s sobre nosotros y no lo dice?" (You know something more about us that you're not saying?)

Oops. That's not what I meant to say. Hunt knows something more about you that he's not saying. If you're going to hide, still write to us or we will get worried. Ariadne is going to Cardiff to meet Hunt and to make him talk. We're going to know more soon.

Damn, they suddenly all have that "I'm afraid" thing going on. I hope they don't hide and stop contacting us. Everyone in contact with them should comfort them and talk them out of hiding etc.

"Sabr� algo m�s sobre nosotros y no lo dice?"

The translation is wrong, this means "Does he [Hunt] know something more about us, and he's not saying it?"... hope that helps... Wink

Dammit, I was afraid that would be the case. Frickin' Google Translator. And I'm only in Spanish 3, so I don't know all the grammar rules yet. >.<
