Does it have anything for Bruxelles? I'd check myself, but I can't load Google Earth on this computer.

It just looks like somebody is keeping track, not like they're trying to get ahead. They even note who makes recoveries. I think this is just another helpful tool that someone is running along with us.

I agree with aliendial. Perhaps this should be added to the geeky resources and the wiki.

Yep. It's one of us. Smile

Those descriptions are word for word matches with the google map created by Eclipseyue.

Re: Orange Dot

Ok so Yesterday I notice a pink dot and say nothing about it until it becomes consistent, which it did, on two machines. Now I see an orange dot, two rather every now and then. Now they're near the two newest omphali (is that the right way to say it?), one south of porto alegre, one quite literally next to New Delhi (which is why i was hesitant to say anything at first) But they've shown up enough for me to say something...anyone else see them?


I saw a red dot right next to Porto Alegre as well, but I can't figure out what city it is. I'm sure it's not a mistake though; it was very clear.

Hey Triscuit, we've noticed that each of the Omphalos points have been represented by multiple dots at times - one speculation is that there is one dot for every navigation end-point. Of course, before this conclusion came about many people entered many many potential nearby locations into the Omphaputer without success... Smile

Still looking into the Google earth thing after my post yesterday...

hey. trying to get in on the game but not seeing a command line or red dots when I visit the secret site, merely a bunch of white dots trying to form continents and no where is clickable. Thoughts?

Nothing appears to happen when you click in the window. The command line doesn't appear until after you start typing.

Step 1. Go to the secret site
Step 2. Click anywhere
Step 3. Type HELLO

The command line should now be visible.

Once you click somewhere on the swirly dots, nothing actually appears on the screen until you start typing.

If it still doesn't do anything, maybe it's an issue with your browser (whatever that may be). Trying a different browser might help.

It seems like Ribnitz/Damgarten appears purple to me now. I'm guessing that purple signifies "both artifacts have been retrieved," although I don't know why there seems to be a delay between the time the second artifact is retrieved and when the dot actually switches from yellow to purple.
