I fear this is mostly useless, since I hadn't read the forums and seen how much else had been learned. But here's another short conversation w/ Carl before he gave up on my ignorance:

[11:52] riddlemask: Contact
[11:53] klaxonator: hi. is this Jin?
[11:53] riddlemask: No, Jin, he is missing.I am taking his post.I fear his taking
[11:55] klaxonator: oh dear. who's this?
[11:55] riddlemask: This is Carl
[11:56] klaxonator: Carl, can you give us any way of finding the Munchen papers?
[11:56] klaxonator: we'd like to help you
[11:57] riddlemask: I never knew Dr.Munchen.I always felt that he felt too big to talk to me
[11:57] klaxonator: do you know anything about his theories?
[12:00] riddlemask: I never really cared.We are stuck here and always will be until our second takings.He just wanted his fifteen minutes of fame
[12:04] klaxonator: who is responsible for the takings?
[12:05] riddlemask: "Them", we have never seen them.Just heard their voices haunt our dreams
[12:06] klaxonator: why are they taking you? do you get any warning?
[12:07] riddlemask: No
[12:07] klaxonator: how many of you are there in server five?
[12:07] riddlemask: First we suffer the first taking which brings us here.I have yet to suffer the second
[12:07] riddlemask: Thousands
[12:07] klaxonator: so you come from somewhere else originally?
[12:07] klaxonator: where is that?
[12:08] riddlemask: Your place, the outside
[12:08] klaxonator: are you human, then. From earth.
[12:09] riddlemask: Yes,we are
[12:09] riddlemask: Well, we were
[12:10] riddlemask: The voices
[12:10] klaxonator: is there any pattern to the first taking? do you know why you were taken in the first place?
[12:12] riddlemask: They are growing stronger
[12:12] riddlemask: My head
[12:12] riddlemask: Help

this translates to:

Peter Cheltschizki the net of the faith from the Alttschechisen in the German Ubdettragen. Vogel, Dr. Carl. Munich, a horn publishing house, 1923?

(there is a period btwn Dr. Carl and Munchen.. so i don't
think this is anything)

I'm sorry, but i have to say, that the author of this book is not Dr. Carl Munchen. His Name is Dr. Carl Vogel (short form Vogl) and he is from Dachau which is next to Munich. Munich is sometimes written Munchen in old books. This Dr. Vogel translated the book you mentioned into German.

hi all, was just reading through some threads and thought this looked promising.

Anyways, don't know if this is any helpful, but the title to the Menace-Media page, "Born Beyond Belief", is also the name of a song by a group called Haystack on their "Slave Me" CD. Thought that was interesting.

The page got updated today.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A hidden text reads "Bald Ist Alles Frei" which translates to "Everything Is Free Soon". It is written in the source-code of the page.

EDIT: Had to correct the german text and its translation due to each word begins with a capital letter.

That's only updated since 7pm GMT, I remember checking the source when I logged in today.

We've got 3 days left. Do we have any idea who are getting the letters? We got "Sean", "Peter" and some others that I'm too lazy to look for. Is that anyone on these boards?

May not be particularly important, but it's actually...

Soon everything is free OR Soon all will be free


It's only grammar, but it may be a quote or something, in which case, translation is everything Wink

Hum... who am I going to believe on this.... a native speaker or.... an Obes Twisted Evil

"Bald ist alles frei" Its not refering to people... then it would be "Bald sind alle frei"
I think in this case thats even more interresting as we assumed a revolution would set people free. ( At least I made that assumtion, and we al know an assumtion makes an ass out of you and mtion.)

You have to realisve that although there is a person that has German as their mother tongue here, English therefore isn't. There are subtleties regarding languages that people miss sometime, and I for one agree with Obes in saying that it's more likely to be "All will soon be free". (This is taken from my 6 years of studying the German language in both high-school and university)
