Weezel gives us a new nickname for the "Secret Site": The Ompha-puter

The Shanghai Artifact is recovered (thanks to Mara & L'el). Download the .pdf here

Another Artifact location is identified: Ribnitz/Damgarten. This location becomes active as Omphalos #2 and leads us to Stockholm for another artifact. Jooon retrieved this one Will update with .pdf link once it's available

For those still confused about how the Ompha-puter works, Ouroborus made a handy guide

Eli mails out four versions of an email, with intentions of filling us in on the origins of "The Secret" . The emails contained one of four 2-page digital photos the book The Wisdom of the Anchients and New Atlantis by Sir Francis Bacon. The waveform code was translated by Eli to retrieve the URL for "The Secret" See: http://olympics.wikibruce.com/The_secret/origin

Ariadne wants us to make a personality test from one of the pages of the found Chapter 2 Codex, that will classify us into one of the sixth "strengths".


March 18, 2008
Brussels (Bruxelles) is revealed to be the second artifact location out of Ribnitz/Damgarten Omphalos.
Sydney is revealed to be an artifact location from the Lunglei Omphalos.

March 19, 2008
The Sydney Artifact (Chapter 5) was picked up.
It was discovered that someone has entered the code for the Bruxelles artifact, however no one has stepped up to reveal he/she/they/it have actually physically retrieved the papers. As of this update, we do not have the codes nor the papers.

The personality quiz that Ariadne requested is now posted on her blog, along with "missions" for each one of the character traits.
So far the "missions" according to personality strength are:
Sofia: solve Monica's postcard, solve the wave form puzzle
Thumos: find the risks, investigate the disappearance of the Brussels Artifact
Chariton: promote communication between everyone, choose locations for the labyrinths
Dikaiosune: organize the team of agonothetai
Sophrosune: Figure out our needs, Share with as many people as possible the clues
Mythopoeia: Tell the story, hide the secrets in plain site.
