@AUZ505 I see. You mean they got a cheap domain name that just redirects I suppose. The problem with that is that you can get really cheap domain + hosting packages nowadays (ie A$10/year). I would have thought their budget more than covers this...But point taken, in which case your explanation is the best. Worshippy

@MarthaJones - Thanks for the Greek lesson, I see now that the "cell" thingy is just a Greek Theta! Worshippy My eyes are not what they were... Embarassed

**Daeld requests an ophthalmology review while in the lock-up ward**

EDIT
I just saw Lisa's new post!!! Jared Clinton...Where is Miss Clinton's blog site?
I wonder if Miss Clinton is the one of the Ennead members...(can probably rule out Flick due to her memories of her father and the guy from the films discussing stuff...) I wonder if we're supposed to find the vblog...

**Daeld escapes from lock-up, armed with one red herring and one red brick, and begins the search***

EDIT2
Just reviewed Episode 7. Missing Miss Clinton is not Flick due to her father's apparent knowledge of "the program".

Also when Lucian says "Just make sure she doesn't find anything", could it be that some of the stuff we're getting from Lisa is stuff that has been deliberately given to her to "make sure she doesn't find anything" (ie red herrings...if so, that would be bad form... Crying or Very sad

I cannot find Miss Clinton's blog

I wrote to Lisa to see if she could tell me more, but as she has never written back to me I suggest someone else writes to request further info on the blog, etc (assuming nobody has done it already)

In case it was necessary to check, Miss Clinton does not feature on Onatario Provincial Police's Missing Persons website. Wink

No sign of Mr Jared Clinton of Ontario

There is an interesting township in Ontario called Clinton (which is not at all relevant to anything!)

Lisa's Youtube updated with post "Somebody else is missing"
No Lisa blog updates or mail replies though...

Thanks for the heads up Daeld. Lisa's Youtube updated with post "Somebody else is missing" on May 15. Basically talks about the following two people:

Jared Clinton: 46 year old divorced banker from Ontario Canada that contacted Lisa via email because his daughter (Angela Clinton) signed up at HN to make money during the summer while finishing up high school. She has been missing for almost a month and Jared suspects historianova is responsible.

Angela Clinton: Daughter of Jared. It seems she is a high school senior, so she may be around 18 years old. According to Jared, she has been missing for almost a month. [SPEC]-So maybe she went out of contact around the week of 20-April.[/SPEC]

I agree that deliberate red herrings are very bad form, and I really hope this is not what is going on with the design...

Like Daeld stated, it seems like we may have another blog to look for, but thus far I have found nothing on Jared or Angela. I hope Lisa answers Daeld's email as I haven't written her asking about any of this (primarily because I'm still waiting for her to answer my last email). -And ugh, no other updates or mail replies from Lisa.

Embarassed I completely forgot about that! Probably the side-effects of the head-banging!

@justcurious As AUZ505 said before, this 'hint' seems to come from a thread-jacker or a clumsy PM. I wouldn't spend my time on such trails. PMs can find better ways to help us and thread-jackers... well, it's not our problem if don't get enough attention at home... Geek

@Daeld I'm glad your mental health's improving! Wink Maybe this can speed up your recovery even more: I made some screen-shots of the korszellem-video and - thanks to TinEye, which is absolutely amazing - was able to identify some of the pictures/persons:
sketches of costumes of roman soldiers,
Zoroaster (or Zarathustra),
The one who puzzled you most is Hermes,
Alexander battling Darius at the Battle of Issus

Lisa has never replied to any of my mails. I think Psysop & AUZ505 are her chosen ones. Wink

@Psysop: Just saw your post on Michael is Missing in DC. I hope it works, 'cause I've exhausted all my meager avenues in search of any sign of Angela Clinton.

Interesting, Fox, writes about "This Historia Nova…are they just squatting on Anios turf like us, you think, or is the old beast lumbering into motion once again?", which seems to confirm that they are not related to Anios...I assume (like everyone else) that they are IG playing at being OOG, so hopefully they can give us further info (but so far they have been less than helpful for story-gap filling.)

Edit (More negative findings)
What's with the violations in DC? As far as I can tell there are no connections. (Other than the obvious Zeitgeist=Korszellem connection, but it seems to be posted by someone OOG. Also the material itself is one of the most historically inaccurate rubbish ever published. Anyway, also it is interesting to not the KFC founder's religious ties to the Freemasons and to the so called Disciples of Christ. I am yet to see a connection. The Zeitgeist videos talk about the Southern Cross (Crux), and some rubbish about its alignment with the sun at certain "historical" dates. I cannot find independent confirmation for their astronomical claims nor can I find any relevance to 999. As for the Global warming site, it seems to be completely unrelated.

There are so many open issues leading to nowhere. Are we too stupid to find the important things? Have we overlooked something? Or are these things not intended to find yet, which means the story unfolds very slowly at the moment.

@Trillian Thank you! desperate times call for desperate searches!
@Daeld I thought the Deciples of Christ might be another "DC"? Though I failed to find any other connections.

A thought just occured to me, has anyone seen a regular blog for Michael? Lisa's youtube states, "It's pretty good money for keeping a video blog and a regular blog." She also mentions this on wordpress. But I can't find one for him. His youtube pic creeps me out.
Speaking of me getting creeped out, on Facebook, one of Michael and Lisa's mutual friends, Elizabeth Tytler- that profile pic is kind of peculiar. I tried to enlarge the pic, but my little computer doesn't want anything to do with it. I don't find a blog for her. Lisa has not accepted my friend request on there either. Sad
Why would they kidnap Michael, but arrange for a meeting first with Angela Clinton? Ahhh...
I'm starting to think that Michael arranged for his own kidnapping to get away from Lisa. She did seem kind of controlling. Rolling Eyes
I need to stop before I start building one of those tempting brick walls!

@Daeld: I have seen your comments on the DC posts. But I have to admit that I do not understand the content or purpose.

- Why do you think that HN or BH (Birds of Hawaii) belongs to Anios? And what is DM?

- Why do you think we can decode anything from the Message Digest?

@AUZ505: Dude you sound upset! (as much as one can sound upset in writing Wink ) Like I said before, I'm new @ ARG, so perhaps I'm going about it the wrong way.
I spent a long time reviewing the posts. Sensible questions yielded nothing much. I don't particularly think the things that I wrote are correct. What they do is provide something different in style that may provoke a response (even if it is tangential). I was hoping that if they think we're on the wrong track, that they would respond (@ least in a small way) to try to gently correct us. This might give us something. Like I said, these may be the naive doings of a new ARGer. If so, I apologise.

As for the Message Diggest. I think it is irrelevant and I'm starting to doubt about the type of check it was doing. (Having said that, traditionally it is said that one cannot decode a Message Diggest, but strictly speaking, it is only very difficult to decode, because there are multiple possibilities that would lead to the same checksum output. However, if enough is known about the original message - if it is a message - then the possibilities can be narrowed rather nicely. But like I said, I think it is irrelevant). Again I was hoping for a response rather than a specific answer.

DM = Daily Muse

Edit
If you're wandering about the references to psychiatry (failing the rorschach, formal thought disorder (FTD) and "inkblot"), they are written in response to Rorschach's name. I am assuming that he took it from the Famous Herman Rorschach who designed the Rorschach Inkblot Test. I'm sure you would have seen primitive versions of it on movies, etc. It was designed to test a patient's free association and response to non-specific visual stimuli. Patients are supposed to tell the examiner what they think the inkblot represents. If one "fails" the Rorschach, it is likely due to frontal lobe impairment, and the best described form is in psychosis. (A fail would be a concrete answer such as "It's an inkblot" or "it's a stain"). His recent hidden message shows formal thought disorder (in this case derailment and loosening of associations). FTD is one of the hallmarks of certain types of psychosis and you would expect the person to fail the Rorschach's test. Likewise, the Message Digest is symbolically a Rorschach's test: it is a seemingly random assortment of symbols that seem to be organised. Most of us have read different meaning into this according to what we were thinking...So, it is like a Rorschach's test.

Sorry for the long post, but I wasn't expecting to have to explain myself for posts in DC! (lol) Apologies again!

Hey, no need to apologize. I never intended to write in an upset mode. I even did not know that I could write in such a way with my limited knowledge of the english language - at least without using words like ****, ****, **** (all censored Smile ).
I just wanted to know if you found out something I missed.
I already thought that you might want to provoke a reaction, but I wanted to be sure.

Since I am also desperately stuck I think I will join the others with headbanging. Bang Head

LOL well, your English is much better than my German!
About all I can say is "Meine Zeit soll alein nur auf Ennead geriechtet sein." (Which is probably wrong in many ways, but at least it rhymes!)

Alas, I have found nothing new, except to say that yesterday I looked at the Stock Market and shares in bricks have reached a plateau. I think with all my efforts in the Ennead, it will do me well to buy stocks in brick manufacturing!

Sooo...just read this on ashleypark.net -posted yesterday.

Quote:
We are a few weeks ahead of schedule for The Ennead, so I'm probably not going to upload a new episode until next Thursday. Having to make the episodes longer (due to popular demand) has meant folding episodes into one another, and, because the series ends on a VERY specific date, a few weeks without a new episode are a necessity.


ARG

Maybe Lisa posts something new....? Please? Sad
I have such a short attention span.
