Might also explain why the whole Khnopff code was in German: Khnopff is German and so is Weishaupt - Therefore it may as well been a hint.

Wait, I thought Khnopff was Belgian? It said on wikipedia that his family is from Austria and Portugal though - so do you mean that the name itself is a German one? Sorry, my German is really shitty so I have no idea.


True, had the wrong wiki in front of me.
Only Weishaupt is German...

Doesn't make sense.. o.O

Maybe we would have picked the english name for the painting, being predominantly english as first language (huge assumption there, apologies to all that doesn't apply to), if you're first language is french however...

nm, I'm still wondering why the easter island co-ords where so important they had to be hidden in the Blowfish code. Other than just 'divilment' Twisted Evil

Also, FYI, I've been trying different codes into the vid feed, eg., the local server status 'IP', and anything else that may fit in, in case there's another one in there. BG hasn't signed into her youtube since the vids came up, and thus I haven't had a reply from that direction.

Off for a few days, gl.

 		If there's anybody else out there that isn't too busy, there's a sort of think tank going on at http://chat.efnet.org/irc.cgi in #BTYC.

EDIT: We have moved to mibbit.com, but still on #btyc.

Just received message from BG, via earlier YouTube message to her this week. I sent;

Quote:
Fernand Khnopff
Hi Beaxtrix, I have been told by Eleanora, a friend of Adam's, that you may be able to help in trying to track down Adam.

Although this is a bit cryptic, I need to know if you can tell me anything about Fernand Knopff. Given your background you can probably tell me a lot. I just needed some help in researching his works. Not sure if there is any tie in with "le sublime", pendulums, Foucault, and someone called Heinrich... I'm covering all the bases. Oh, and I think I'm onto Adam's last whereabouts also.

I'd be very appreciative of any help, or pointers you may be able to give me, also apologies for not being able to chat in French. I spent most of my french lessons in the school corridor.

Thanks in advance, Tex.


PS, any of your colleagues at the university know anything about Western Blot Analysis? It's another one of my 'hobbies'.


This was sent before any solves for the 3 riddles on polycystin, I was trying to cover all angles. Tonight I received;

Quote:
Re: Fernand Khnopff
Dear TexRipley,

I have lost contact with Adam since June. If you contact him please tell him that I am worried and I would love to have news from him.

Adam indeed asks me to research Khnopff's work.

I am currently in London for the Klimt exhibition. When I come back to Montreal I will try to send you back the specific information Adam was interested in.

I do not know any Eleanora. I do not know anything related to Western Blot analysis.

Regards,
Beatrix

Bonjour Claire,

je suis heureuse de voir que des gens recherchent toujours Adam. Si par chance, tu entre en contact avec lui svp dit lui que je suis inquiète et que j'attend impatiemment de ses nouvelles.

Adam m'a en effet demandé de rechercher des oeuvres de Khnopff. Je suis présentement à Londres dans le cadre de l'exposition Klimt. Dès mon retour, je vous ferai parvenir l'information que j'ai recherché pour Adam à ce sujet.

Au plaisir,
Beatrix
i do not have the time or energy to translate plus she has also added me as a friend on facebook

edit: energy enough to see both messages almost the same

Hello Claire,

I am pleased to see that people are always looking Adam. If by chance, you enter into contact with him please told him that I am worried and waiting anxiously for news.

Adam actually asked me to look for works by Khnopff. I am currently in London under the Klimt exhibition. Upon my return, I will send you the information I have sought to Adam about this.

Looking forward,
Beatrix
Which is almost exactly what she said to everyone else. I especially like how she hasn't told anyone when she's getting back Rolling Eyes

Has everyone gone to bed? The IRC room was empty Sad

Dear Friend,

your letter touch me ! My dear Adam St-Pierre is missing and my only hope of finding him lies in your hand.

Adam also shown an interess into Khnopff's work. I am currently in London for the Klimt exhibition. When I come back to Montreal I will try to send you back the specific information Adam was interested in.

Meanwhile I will update my site if I think of anything new.

Regards,
Beatrix


Some differences with the other two replies:
Quote:
St-Pierre

Which can mean several things:
1. a small neighbourhood in Montreal.
2. the group of islands in the North-Atlantic (near Canada).
3. a commune in France
4. the patron Saint Peter that is also the patron for fishermen and shipwrights.

However, St. Pierre/St. Peter may also be a surname. There is in fact a facebook (set to private) profile for Adam St. Peter and there are several for Adam St. Pierre

Quote:
I will update my site

Frankly B.G. has a website.
So far I haven't been able to locate it by the use of the YouTube channel nor random searches with google.
There is one Art journal, but it's been up and running since 2005.


Edit: unrelated-fun-fact: Beatrix Potter wrote the children's books for Peter Rabbit. A yellow rabbit is also the icon for BTYC.
Edit2 Beatrix is also a volume by Honoré de Balzac (from La Comédie humaine). This comes up when searching for Beatrix XIX (Art Historian of the XIX century...)..

Edit3: I also came to realise... When E.P. first headed off it was to meet Anashel. Two weeks later she returns by the way of the video feed on the polycystin.com website; Futhark goes live. However, never does E.P. mention how her meeting with Anashel went, but she does announce how she's going on a trip to some important places.

If Anashel is the PM, then isn't he overly involved with the (fictional) characters? </ponder> How unlikely is the speculation that Anashel might be the 'him'/'colleague' from the letters that Adam went to join in N.Z.?... </spec>

 		Message from B.G @ YT.

Quote:
Sir,

I dont know any Eleanora and the only thing I can advise you is to stay away from Polycystin.com.

Beatrix.


Now, does this mean Eleanora is like the 'Jason' character in Project Ophiuchus? Acting as though a friend but really the enemy? - If so, why is Adam so sure she should be getting that link?

And if Beaxtrix is telling us to 'stay away' from Polycystin.com - Does that mean we shouldn't even be helping Eleanora to unlock the riddles?

Additional:

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1394321229
Eleanora's facebook profile. Just added me as a friend and latest comment seems to indicate:

Quote:
Eleanora is making progress. Will be back this week-end. I hope my friend will have found the clues.


Also she has her University listed as "Université de Montréal" - Which I'm assuming is where Adam was @ also. But I cannot find him on the facebook list.

 		Prob a trout but I'll let someone else investigate too just to make sure.

On the second riddle on polycystin.com, "le sublime" appears to be boldened.

A quick google throws up lesublime.net

Anyone else wanna have a look at it - not sure if it's genuine or not?

Possibly. After all; she was likely the last to see Mike before he disappeared (she hadn't heard from him.. Anashel pointed out that Mike might not be off as well as E.P.)...

Nevertheless, as long as we don't know who exactly B.G. is and what information she has or why we should stay away from polycystin.com it's hard to determin. Perhaps ask her why?

If Adam was at the Université de Montréal then most likely as a tutor since that is what E.P. pointed out in one of her e-mails: 'Adam is my tutor'. That would mean that B.G. is perhaps a tutor there as well (age at YT makes this more plausible as well).

Seems like we don't have to wait for two weeks then. Always good.


On another note, I kept thinking about the BeaxtrixGray issue; the extra X and then remembered something that made me wonder when I was e-mailing with E.P. at the start of all this:
E.P. stands for Eleanora Plante (as her gmail @ eleanora.plante). However, the name depicted with each e-mail was: Eleanor Plante: without the a. This can be completely unrelated, but it was just something that came to mind.

Also; did anyone request the wiki at despoiler yet? Don't want to throw out duplicate accounts. Other than that: http://www.mibbit.com/
#btyc chatroom is up and running. I'll try to keep it that way most of the time.

(I don't have much to add, in game wise, so I'll jus answer that question)

Yes. Requested it while we were in mibbit last night/early this morning(In your timezone, at least)

Very well. If it's authorised then we'll have something to do. Merci.
