 		Re: Wiki speed

I am looking into it - it's across the entire domain (batman wiki too, for example). I've contacted hosting support, and the problem's been escalated in support. I'm expecting to hear back from them sometime today; they say within 24 hours (but that's the standard response anyway).

Worst case scenario - I might bite the bullet and upgrade to a virtual dedicated server.

A similar problem happened last year during Halo's Iris campaign - but that one was much more extreme in a shorter timespan. So I'm surprised something similar is happening now when traffic is still only 1/3 of that previous spike. I don't want to go through the similar hiccup that happened before with the site being taken down entirely, so I might do the upgrade, at least for the span of this game.

Hey, you provide a resource, you take on a responsibility Smile

So for now, pages are still coming up, just taking longer than they should. No idea why. But it is being looked into.

Thanks for your patience...!

I predict that the "Six Ancient Strengths" document that Ariadne found in Cardiff will be the key to this part of the ARG:

I am always inquisitive.

I am extremely loyal.
I like defeating obstacles.
I like to clarify matters to others.

I can create order out of chaos.
I am optimistic about the future.
I am a very careful person.

I can empathize with others.
I have a huge imagination.
I do not yield.

I like to have all the facts.
Other lands and cultures fascinate me.
I often help to retain harmony in my group.

I am never too busy to help a friend.
People describe me as full of energy.
I always try to see the big picture.

Others come to me for advice.
When I plan, I make sure I succeed.
Even if I don't like someone, I deal with them fairly.

I prefer action to a words.
I help others cooperate well.
I believe that everything has a reason.

I make wise decisions.
I always see the beauty around me.
I am never bored.

Maybe a kind of personality test? Rank these statements from 1 to 6, with 1 meaning "Not at all" and 6 meaning "Absolutely"? And from that determine which of the six agonothetai archetypes you most resemble? And future ARG sites will have things corresponding to each of the six?

 		 Question
Question: is there somewhere we are dissecting the trailers? Somewhere specific? Because I have something in T3 that could be something... So is there somewhere? Or can I start a new thread, or something?

EDIT: Thanks, mr.judkins!

 		Hey Brodie, looks like people are already discussing the third trailer in the thread for www.thelostring.com.

Might as well keep going there... Smile

 		I'd like to suggest an addition to the list of resources in the first post. Perhaps HHM or a mod can copy/paste this up there. Something along the lines of:

Play the Game in Another Language?

We love everybody who comes to play with us here in uF, and we are delighted to play with people whose first language is not english. Please stay! But if you think you would be more comfortable in another language, you have a few choices -

http://forums.findthelostring.com/index.jspa
Our intrepid interdimensional labyrinthletes are chatting in their own languages in the game forums - german, spanish, portuguese, french, chinese, japanese and english.

Other out of game resources not in english:

http://www.argwiki.de/index.php5?title=Find_the_Lost_Ringwww.ARGwiki.de
http://forum.patmo.de/index.php?board=49.0
- wikis and forums in German

[ need to find the link to the esperanto forum that's been mentioned ]
http://groups.google.com/group/tlrp (esperanto discussions)
[other]

[please let us know if you find a community chatting out there in another language - we'll add it to the list!]

HHM,

This is a really handy tool that would be good to add to the cartography section of the list.

 		Added links for "Muzzy in Gondoland" Esperanto version videos. Pretty much a children's show, but good to watch so you can get a grasp of the language.

Very cute, very clever.

 		Just a note on the Twitter hashtags: the link for #lostring tags gives an error page. I checked it out and this looks like the correct url: http://hashtags.org/tag/lostring

Happy tweeting!

 		Graphic Resources
Here's a link a 3 Circuit template to be used for any design work (flyers, cheat sheets, etc) that people might need..
Labyrinth Templates (300 dpi JPG)

Created the path in Adobe Illustrator and then rasterized it for the JPGs. If you want the original vector image, PM me for a copy.

Edit: put it into a set with both a 3 circuit and 7 circuit version
