Yeah, huh ? I wonder where we've seen it before Laughing

The point about the man running in a labyrinth blindfolded representing the Lost Game sounds very interesting. And also reminds me of this - although of course, not likely to have a connection Wink

I think that might be OOG (the trailer and all that...). Although it has IG stuff (the pictures, etc) it seems like a site for more casual players to see what's going on with the game.

EDIT: I know it's weekend (IG characters shouldn't have "weekends" anyway) but shouldn't Ariadne have already updated her blog with what happened in Cardiff? Or Eli for that matter, about the lecture?

 		Sorry for the double post but translation coming ahead. It's a new blog post from Larissa but nothing much new from her.

I think that the evidence in Eli Hunt's research has to be tru. And if that lost game still is being practiced by people like Renata!! If that's the case, how are they able to maintain it hiding or "underground" and why? How did it survived through the centuries? Why don't many more people know about it? And why it is so important. I don't understand why Renata, Ariadne and the other would had amnesia? Is it to stop them to tell the secrets of this "game"? How can anyone...



In this post I find her writing no so good, and a little confusing as to the punctuation used.

 		The star looks a bit like the logo for http://www.delphic.org/



They run modern Delphic Games, which are mainly concerned with competitions of Arts, Drama, Culture.

also, the sounds on the first trailer, the sound like people with weapons on either side, like Running the Gauntlet

 		Just a minor spec, but do you suppose the bits of Eli from the intro video will turn out to be from his talk in Cardiff?

 		I've exchanged e-mails with Larissa.

This was entirely an attempt to figure out if thelostring.com exists IG, since I was wondering the same thing. Given that she appears to have watched it now, I'm pretty sure it really does - or at least, it does now.

teucer, in his mediocre Portuguese wrote:
Larissa,

Viu o video em thelostring.com? Parece que alguem ha sacado video de o
desperto de Ariadne...

Infelizmente o video solo existe em ingles, pero parece um trailer do
cine por a aventura dos amnesiacos tatuados. Não sei, pero eu penso
que as pessoas que fizieram esto a elhos fizieram-lo para
entretenemento, e pensam televisar-lo o algo assim.

O video contene letras secretas que dizem "When you are ready to
receive data, look to Delphi" - es dizer, "quando voce estiver listo
para receber data, olha para Delphi." E tambem faze explicitamente a
conexão entre os amnesiacos e as Olimpíadas - agora estou aun mais
certo que não e coincidencia que Renata tambem despertou assim em un
anho olimpico.

Sorte,

- Craig

Larissa,

Have you seen the video on thelostring.com? It seems someone has taken a video of Ariadne's awakening...

Unfortunately the video only exists in English [this is true; even if you try to watch in other languages the video itself is untranslated - ed], but it seems to be a movie trailer for the adventure of the tattooed amnesiacs. I don't know, but I think the people who did this to them did it for entertainment, and want to televise it or something like that.

The video contains secret letters that say "When you are ready to receive data, look to Delphi" - that is to say, "When you are ready to receive data, look to Delphi" [the first copy of the quote was in English; the second in Portuguese - ed]. It also makes explicit the connection between the amnsiacs and the Olympics - now I'm even more certain that it isn't a coincidence that Renata also awoke like that in an olympic year.

Good luck,

- Craig


That was yesterday afternoon. This morning she responded:

Larissa wrote:
Você acha que quem fez o video esta tentando revelar o segredo do "lost ring" para fazer dinheiro? (and make money on it?)
Ariadne looked same as a victim of laboratory experiments. Don't you think?
I think Renata had dreams like what happened to Ariadne, because she would say was confused and scary but she didn't want to talk about.
Don't have pictures of Renata in newspaper. [this part is a reference to an earlier e-mail I had sent asking if she could dig up newspaper clippings about Renata and scan them in for us - ed]
If is not concidence and Renata and the others have the same situation, would the others disappear too?

Thanks so much,
Larissa


The Portuguese translates as:

Larissa's Portuguese, translated by teucer wrote:
Would you say that whoever made the video is attempting to reveal the secret of the "lost ring" to make money?


Alternatively,

Larissa's Portuguese, translated by Google wrote:
You say who made the video trying to reveal the secret of "lost ring" to make money?


My response is as follows:

Penso que sim. Não sei, pero e possibilidade forte. [I think so. I don't know, but it's a strong possibility. - ed]

> Ariadne looked same as a victim of laboratory experiments. Don't you think?

Yes, she really does. Which makes me wonder whether she was always so athletic.

> I think Renata had dreams like what happened to Ariadne, because she would
> say was confused and scary but she didn't want to talk about.

Huh. I wonder what about what was done to them makes them dream like that.

> Don't have pictures of Renata in newspaper.

Ah well, it was worth a look I suppose.

> If is not coincidence and Renata and the others have the same situation,
> would the others disappear too?

Probably, if we can't help them in time.

> Thanks so much,

Any time.

Sorte,

- Craig


Now I'm just waiting for a reply.

Two things.

One, was that posted within the last 21 hours? If so, my pointing her to the video *may* be the evidence she's referring to; I don't know.

Two, anybody else wondering what the significance of the datestamp - over six months ago - is?

 		Lucie correspondance
Here goes. First e-mail, a few days ago :

Bookmore (translated) wrote:
Good evening Lucie,

A friend with whom I've worked with on other investigations told me about a young woman called Ariadne who finds herself in a situation similar to yours - I think she got in touch with you by now.

Within the next few days I'll try to contact other persons in the Parisian area that might help us shed some light on the mystery surrounding you guys. Until then, I just wanted to send you these few lines to let you know that you're not completely on your own in this strange country, and strange city.

See you around,
Thomas Bookmore.


to which Lucie replied :

Alors ça c'est une super bonne nouvelle!

je n'arrete pas de recevoir des messages de personnes principallement anglophones, mais aussi espagnoles, etc... c'est très difficile de communiquer avec eux parceque je ne parle pas bien anglais du tout. De plus ça me fait fort bisarre d'ietre assistée par une population de personne de l'autre bout du monde, ils disent qu'ils se connaissent tous... moi je ne les connais pas, et je commence a avoir de sérieux doutes sur toutes cette histoire et ce qu'il m'arrive, je ne sais plus qui ou quoi croire, et avec les traductions a la va vite c'est encore plus difficile. J'èspère que tu vas pouvoir m'aider, j'ai besoin d'avis et de conseils de personnes de confiance et que je puisse comprendre Smile la situation devient de plus en plus étrange... je ne sais pas ce que tu sais déjà mais je suis prète a tout t'expliquer, car il y a déjà pas mal de choses qui sont survennues d'un peu partout...

merci d'avoir pris contact, a très bientôt j'èspère.

Now this is great news !

I keep getting messages from people that speak English for the most part, or Spanish, etc...It's very hard to communicate with them because I don't speak English well at all. And it feels very strange to be helped by a population of people frmo the other side of the world, they say they all know each other...I don't know them all, but I'm starting to have serious doubts about this story and all that's happening to me, I don't know who or what to believe anymore, and it's even harder with my half-assed translations. I hpoe you'll be able to help me, I need advice from people I can trust and that I can understand Smile The situation is getting stranger and stranger...I'm not sure of what you already know but I can bring you up to speed, because so many things happened here and there already...

Thanks for getting in touch and hope to hear of you soon,
Lucie


I sent her a short e-mail about aikido and parkour (with links to these two videos) after that, then yesterday evening, sent some extra information her way :

Bookmore (translated) wrote:
Bonsoir Lucie,

I've spent the last two days, when I wasn't shooting videos for my colleagues, gathering more info about your situration and the places that, in Paris, could help you one way or another. So far, haven't found much ! After Ariadne's latest discoveries (you must know by now she went to try and meet Eli Hunt ?) I also pulled a quick search on the monument and places that are connected with Olympian culture in the area where we live, again to no avail - if for the sports installations that were built for the Olympic Games in the area, that you probably know of already : the Stade de France for example, which was built for the 2012 Olympic Games.

One last thing : the French National Sports and Olympic Comittee can be found at number 1, rue Pierre de Coubertin, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. Maybe their documentation services would have some sort of information on the "lost sport" which Eli Hunt often refers to ? I couldn't make it there, but you should be able to settle there for research from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 6.30PM.

Hang in there, and hear of you soon !
Tom.


That's about it so far.

 		Since we've got our own forum now, maybe we could seperate communications with people into individual threads? As in one thread for each of the people we've been swapping e-mails with. There's a lot of information there and it's hard to keep track of it all and to find old information when it's all in one mega-thread.

Two, anybody else wondering what the significance of the datestamp - over six months ago - is?


The datestamp is a timestamp (8h 17 min and I assume 7 sec). So for example on Markus' blog the following timestamps occur:

08.39.07, 08.32.07, 08.30.07, 08.43.07, 08.46.07, 08.36.07, 08.14.07

Two "strange" things: First, the order is like in the blog and very confusing. Second all end with "07".
