Hi Islington,
I found your message thru Graeme. I'm Nadif, which is short for "Nano di figa"

live there any more; South America is a much more friendly place)
I realize that, as a latecomer, there's still a lot of stuff I have to analyze
better; nonetheless, if you think that I can be of any help to you and to the,
well, cause, just let me know, I'm at your disposal, any time - if the idea of
"any time" still applies under the circumstances, that is...

Now, a couple of things:
1) what is "Toby" up to exactly? Demoralize us? Is he some kind of adversary? And why do he and Islington appear to use the same email address? Long shot: is Toby a dissociated personality of Islington? Or, who knows, vice-versa?

2) these lines:
Quote:

are added automatically to my messages when I use the yahoo smtp to send mail. BUT the link added is www.yahoo.com.br/messenger , ad NOT www.yahoo.com.br/messenger/OMNIglot , which is a 404 made up by "Toby".

3) "Challenge me to speak your own language": maybe I could take this literaly and write him a mail in Portuguese (which, funnily enough, is not really my own language since I'm actually Italian, born and raised, as I told him...)

IF you see something else here just let us know, I'm still a bit confused about what's going on here.

 		I wonder, will we be directed to Omniglot in the future for deciphering a particular language? Just a thought...

ETA: The Omniglot link.

 		Most llikely french because Triscal said "My mother was French"

Also did you notice on the Explosions in the sky site there were characters such as these on omniglot.

AND in Toby's comic and game.

 		Hello all. been following this since yesterday. I just got an email response from Toby. The original email I sent him said "Are you toying with us? Is this a game? Or are you selling something?" Notice how he changed my original message in his response. Not sure if this is helpful or not at this point.

 		It's not over yet. I'm still trying to decide if this index business is accidental or intentional.

Personally, I'd be happy if they find a storyline and stick with it. So far, with all the updates I'm seeing today, my thoughts on this game are going downhill fast.

And with that being said, I'm gonna hold off on updating my little guide anymore. I really don't need to be spending hours updating it if this game is going to self-destruct.

 		well, with little yo no satisfaction, it is getting less and less intriguing by the moment.
