Has anybody checked into Junko's friend Mia Rynders on FB? She only has six friends. Besides Junko and two other OOG lurkers (it seems) her three other friends are as follows.

Bruce Herring


Ari Abramowitz

http://www.thelandofisrael.com/aboutus/


Amy Zerner

http://www.enchantedworld.com/


All of whom have befriended JJ as well. Mia IG possibly? Maybe we need to contact her and see if she can give us any info, she seems to really be connected to JJ seeing as she is posting a lot on Junko's wall.

I agree that Mia seems to be IG. She responds in all caps just like the others and seems to talk in broken english like the rest, she may be worth looking into.

I would also like to say that this is my first ARG and just happened onto the site from someone tweeting about the cam feed. Googling everything led me here and have spent the time reading the whole thread and everything on 5/8. I look forward to seeing where this goes, even if it has sparked a lot of frustration and anger.

 		Just another my *last* meta message...
Guys, I now, somebody of you is upset for PM giving some your informations out there. But: calm down. If you actually play an ARG, never - never! - give in your personal information, but make instead of this an ARG account, ARG email, ARG identity. If you have it - nobody will be able to spread your personal information, since all information they have is just your alternate personal information.

So don't blame PM (even if posting the privat things is also not so OK). I am not even sure, whether it were PMs or gamejackers. Beware of gamejack!

And, whoever set up this stupid jj.com page - make it down. Right now. It's actually no matter, what or who is behind this project. It's actually no matter, if it were a commercial ARG for a fashion/movie/music or something else. If you dislike it - leave it. If you like it - give it a chance to go further. You may dislike the product, but if an ARG is cool - it's cool. E.g. I am not really fan of Microsoft, but I'm huge fan of their ARGs. And playing an ARG I don't really care about PMs. I just play.

Many people claims, it were no progress right now, just some messages. But I ask myself, whether all this professional flash contents, mockumentaries, characters were did just for some twitts and facebook texts? I suppose no. We have perhaps to wait for new clues, and waiting - ARG veterans will hopefully agree - is one of the most often phenomenons of an ARG. Every ARG.

So wait and don't blame the PM. There is actually no PM. There is just an alternate reality. And only this matters.

And now let be nice and enjoy alternate realities together. If waiting is too painful for you, I'll tell you, how many weeks we *waited* in the Cloverfield ARG Laughing

P.S. I know, perhaps everyboidy are just settled down, but it was my first urgent drive to shout it out, reading posts after I was away for half day, hehe. I know, I'm always lamish late.

other coordinates pointed to various places in china, and one off the coast of norway. none seem to have any tie ins at this point, but i'm assuming that they're different environment survival testing areas for the Junsui.

more evidence that Junko Junsui may be a group and not a person from The Junsui facebook:
THEY CALLED YOU JUNSUI, THE PURE BREED. BUT THEY MEANT THAT YOU WERE THE PERFECT PRODUCT. NOTHING WAS PURE ABOUT YOU UNTIL YOU DECIDED TO MAKE YOURSELF PURE.

Junko Junsui = pure, pure child
as said before, they were probably created, figured out what was going on, checked out their heritage and decided to rebel against their creators as well as focus on an as yet unknown goal

try using the symbol that was on the website and the coordinates that were posted earlier to try to triangulate the location. i dont have the proper equipment to do so at the time or i would. maybe this might lead to some new location? just a thought

 		Yeah, after some quick research in Russian i-net, there are many gossips about rumors about this mountain:

* it were highly radioactive
* there were a bunker (as fanraen already said)
* there is even a mini-city special for Putin (according this newspaper: http://www.lenpravda.ru/today/253338.html)

short, freedom for imagination, what's really is Smile

Nippon Shin Eisei, being a genetics company, were probably contracted by Alfa-Tsentr to create the Junsui for some purpose. Seems like Shin Eisei takes "orders" on what qualities their clients desire in a child, and then produce (or in this case mass-produce them) to specifications.

Seems like in this case, the Junsui found out what was going on, rebelled, escaped from Shin Eisei and/or Alfa-Tsentr and are now regrouping against one, both, or more companies.


Thats the opposite...

NSE is the main company performing genetics researtch and manipulation.

Alpha center is the contractor.


I don't think it is clear at this point who hired whom, or just how exactly any Japanese company figures into this. I think the Japanese biotech company is a dead end for now. Lets focus on the information we have.

First in case you don't know what it is here is the wikipedia article for Khozyain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khozyain from what I understand it's an authoritarian political figure, although the definition is nuanced and I'm sure as an American I don't fully "get it."

Some interesting info in the entry for Mt. Yamantaw which was just mentioned. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamantaw apparently a literal translation of the name is mount evil. Basically if you don't feel like reading it here is a pertinent story from the entry.

"On a visit to Russia, former U.S. Congressman Curt Weldon (R-PA), who had been following the story since 1995, asked about the mountain. "I went to Moscow and spoke with the deputy interior minister who was in charge of mining," Weldon said. "I asked him if there was any mining activity there. He just shook his head and said he had never heard of it. So I mentioned the other name the Russians use for it: Mezhgorye. He said he hadn't heard of that either. Then he sent an aide out to check. Twenty minutes later, the aide came back, visibly shaken. He said they couldn't say anything about it."

I guess the US has suspected for a long time that it is a nuclear site, but the Russians have changed their story many times on it. The site is very close to Beloretsk and a few "closed military cities." It is also very near the mountain top marked by the first set of coords.

Finally some info I found a while ago about Circassians that I neglected to share earlier. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circassian_beauties

Basically after the Circassians were exiled from Russia, following the Russian-Circassian war, they cultivated for themselves an image as the most beautiful and well mannered women. Eventually they became known as some of the most beautiful women in the world. They were highly sought after in the Ottoman empire as concubines. This image of them persisted for many generations.

A rather chilling quote taken from the Wiki entry.
"By the early nineteenth century, Circassians were associated with theories of racial hierarchy, which elevated the Caucasus region as the source of the purest examples of the white race, which was named the Caucasian race after the area by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach. Blumenbach theorised that the Circassians were the closest to God's original model of humanity, and thus "the purest and most beautiful whites were the Circassians"

Basically it seems to me at this point that the main entity we should be directing our investigation at is Men of Taste. As NightHawk has stated, they are obviously related to Alfa-Tsentr. Correct me if my assumptions are wrong, but it seems that Russia is a country where a very wealthy man can wield considerable political, and sometimes even military, power. That is who the Junsui have told us about, the Oligarchs of Russia. Something about Men of Taste screams small exclusive club of powerful men. I think what they might want with a group of the "perfect women" is rather obvious.
