Back to topic guys, today's March 11th, the secret comes out today! Eli said this podcast wouldn't come out in the regular place, so we should start looking for it, no?

Not a mod.

But I agree with Trustiva, at least for now. The game is still very fluid, with random email exchanges with a lot of characters that contribute little to the overall story and now several places to post info. Starting separate threads for all that is fine, but it doesn't capture where the game/story is going. I think having a chronological thread running behind it all still makes sense, at least until the form of the game becomes clearer. I also learned this from prior games.

That said, now that the full sites are live, and we are out of the pre-game phase (I think) perhaps a new main thread could be started. Or not. My 2 cents.

I think your letter would be better posted about here

Whoo! SF0! We met at the last ARGFest.

But yeah, not sure I see a connection with the money orders. I vote other friends trying to lure you into something else when you could be playing THIS game!

Hi, I am new to ARGs and FTLR, so I have been hesitant to muddy the waters with my thoughts and discoveries. Following the revelation of a new package by sfzerosean, I think I need to throw my two cents in. On Eli Hunt's website, under the FAQ's, he mentions an important artifact that has been uncovered but not fully understood yet. So I googled artifacts that have been discovered in the last century and uncovered the Antikythera Mechanism. It is believed to be an orrery or astronomical clock. It is housed at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens but one of the core research groups is the University of Cardiff, UK. The mechanism consists of rings, gears and dials. On one of the front rings are the zodiac symbols and 360 marks. (degrees?)
There are also markings and inscriptions designation solar and lunar movements and maybe eclipses. I am not doing a very good job of describing this and don't know if this is part of our mystery, but maybe it will help. Check out more about the Antikythera mechanism at http://www.antikythera-mechanism.gr/project/general/the-project.htm

What made me post this is the reference to Sindhind. Googling it resulted in....Al-Khwārizmī's Zīj al-sindhind (Arabic: زيج "astronomical tables of Sind and Hind") is a work consisting of approximately 37 chapters on calendrical and ...

I think you might be onto something, shejake. It's from ancient Greece, it's got rings, connections to astronomy (Omphalos code, anyone?) and the University of CARDIFF (Eli Hunt is in Cardiff!).

Stuff to ponder and keep in mind, definitely.

Welcome to the site. FtLR is my first ARG too.

You just never know what might come in handy.

Society of the Ancients connection?!
heh, the antikythera mechanism showed its face on the SOTA website for the Iris / Halo 3 ARG (also run by AKQA )

but hey, it's possible it could be connected here (the device that is, not Iris)
