[BLOG][MONICA]Monica has a blog too I guess I forgot to comment, but Monica has a new Blog like the rest of the six and Larissa: http://www.findthelostring.com/monica/home.do with basically the same content as Diego's, even the forum links to Diego's one.
It's supposed to be the one for spanish players (there's a little difference between spain's spanish and argentina's spanish, but not much), but, as of now, the site is... robo-translated, with some words mistranslated and such...
biggest error is a large "EL SEIS" over the images of the six athletes. You see, in spanish we have different words for plural and singular, and EL SEIS is singular for "the six" (which is obviously plural)
But the orange colour is nice

I see it kind of like the -jo suffix in esperanto (if I understand it right)... making a singular noun from a plural means to refer to the group as one. So it's not so much "the six people " as it is maybe a proper noun such as "The Six". granted grammatically it would be more like 'the group or team of six', as "el seis" like you say is singular and would probably be more applicable to 'the (number ) six' (single noun) right?
*shrug*
just thinking out loud

Yes, that's it. In "real" spanish it should read "Los Seis". Los is spanish for "The" when you mean a plural masculine noun, and Seis is singular for "six" (wich in spanish is a masculine noun).
Yeah, I know. Spanish is difficult with all that differences between genres and numbers...
I wonder who has done the translation for Monica's blog... Well, who, or maybe What

Monica's blog still seems to just be a mirror of Diego's but at least she has her own video up there now:

She wants us to show that Eli Hunt has nothing to do with Theo? Did I get that right?

I've seen the last video Dieog uploaded, and I have to say that I don't agree at all. Help me show Eli Hunt has nothing to do with Theo and that he's on our side. Diego, what's wrong with you?
Monica
about her video, she says she thinks the codex are warning us that if we stop doing labyrinths, we will go to a Neopangaea state. She says she doesn't understand why people keep insisting Eli is allied with Theo, because Eli has helped us a lot. She suggest Theo could be a traveller like the six, or even an organization if he has tried to stop the agonothetai for so long. She says she understands Eli trying to discover Theo's reason for doing this, and finishes with this question to Diego:
...Why, why did you do it? Are you hiding us something too?

Because nobody mentioned it so far:
At April 27 Monica posted her first "own" message on her blog. Since this date the Monica blog is not a copy of the the Diego blog.

She has 4 more postcards. We need someone she trusts to e-mail her so she will show the cards- I think she says in her blog entry that she won't post there where Theo can see.

I think it would be nice and kinda fun if we can start an email chain with her, to pass around the info - yes, it'll be posted on here and discussed, but in an in-game sense, it'll be a way for us to connect with people and hand off information in a secure way.

Hi there, I have been mailing from time to time with Monica, as actually I live in her city, and have already sent her a mail asking about these new pics.
I'll tell you if she replies back and translate for you.
Ah, and whenever I mail her I don't mention this forum, I just tell her I got friends from around the world who can help with all this stuff So don't worry, my mails are quite in-game

Hola Jasper,
Perdona que no te conteste en inglés... sé bastante poco.
Supongo que entenderás que tal y como está la situación ahora, necesite saber que puedo confiar en la gente... Necesito alguna prueba de que estás con nosotros y no con Theo... que alguno de los 6 chicos con amnesia te recomiende (bueno, excepto Markus... claro )... o que hayas participado en algún laberinto (de entrenamiento o personal...).
¡Gracias por tu interés y espero tu respuesta!
Un saludo,
Mónica
in google-translation that is
Hello Jasper,
Forgive you do not answer in English ... I know very little. : (
I suppose understand that as the situation stands now, need to know that I can trust people ... I need some proof that you are with us and not with Theo ... any of the 6 guys with amnesia recommend you (well, except ... Markus clear: () ... or you've attended a maze (or training staff ...).
Thanks for your interest and I hope your answer!
Regards,
Monica

So best would be if someone contact Monica, who has recently performed a training run and can proof this.
My suggestion: MauroKing or Javier.
Both are mentioned and shown on the last Diego blog post and both I guess can even speak spanish.
Are you somewhere around?

I wrote to her last night and got pretty much the same reply, so I sent a video of my personal labyrinth. I also mentioned that we've been working with Ariadne to counter Theo, so that she'll be aware of it if it ever comes up. (I'll be sad but I'll understand if she doesn't trust me because of my involvement in it since I'm actually in contact with them, etc.)

I did nearly the same thing.. Let's hope we hear something...
We're certainly playing a dangerous game trying to get trust on both sides.
It's looking more and more like we need to dedicate some people to one side or the other...

How can anyone not trust jasper? I sent her a link to my codex pick-up photos and I guess I could e-mail her the pic I took of the labyrinth I drew with my garden hose and mower cord
[meta]I'd feel too ridiculous e-mailing a game character to ask her to vouch for me with another game character. Has anyone got the postcard images/ info yet?
