Erm, menace-media still says Revolution 4, shouldn't it be Revolution 3 by now? Or is it just my PC. I have refreshed the site a few times and it still says 4

Me too. The Twisted Evil -icon was there for a reason not as a quote Wink .

However labfly does have a point too. Although.. seeing how much effort is going into this I doubt that mistake is being made here. But still something to keep in the back of our head anyway.

The site seems down at the moment. Or is this 'downtime' plotrelated perhaps?

Well, I agree with Obes translation, too, because it fits better to the plot. The problem with those translations may be some subtleties. I know about my bad english, so I'm sorry for that. I will do better in the future, i promise Smile

There is something else, i want to point out. Some of the German texts look like German, but they aren't originally. Sometimes it is even hard for a German native speaker to understand what is behind those texts. That's when the text was originally written in English or in another language and got babelfished into German - I think.

So I didn't try to find the grammatical correct translation to the german text, I used the babelfish to do it and that is what i got from the babelfish. Except for the word order.

Finally I don't know which one we have to take, because I don't know what we have to do with all this. Do we have to find some other pages depending on those translations? Do we have to find a whole text/story/whatever this "quotation" fits in?

I made the dr. Carl mistake. You picked that one up. See? It helps to have a german around that actually knows whats written. How to translate it into 'propper english' is a point of debate anyway and will be a team effort.

On that matter:
Einer der seine eigene Sprache tadellos spricht muchte I mal sehen.
babelfish that Smile

It means what it means (like all those german quotes) could be mere dressup to set the atmosphere. But could also prove to mean something later on. No way of telling untill somebody 'stumbles' onto a meaning or code in them.

Holding hands up here, I'm not a great speaker of the german language. I know enough to get me through most things, and my grammar is terrible (hence why I said 'it's only grammar' Razz. I just translate things into english in a way I understand, which is usually english grammar, terrible thing to do because english grammar is weird, but it helps me understand.

It probably doesn't matter anyway, just thought I'd say. Although I think we should follow the native speaker here (Unless I get my housemate to help us, she's a native speaker too, but didn't help with the Bald line).

Obes.

A little txt also. For reference here it is.
Quote:
Dear Readers
The time has come for you to know who I am. My name is Jordan Davis. The sole purpose of this site is to investigate the lost files of the late Dr. Munchen. Newspaper obituaries reported him missing, then later searches were called off. Today those who had ever heard the name Dr. Munchen believe him dead. That is, all except me.

I was always interested in his work. I was always seeking access to his notes and books which in today's world are near impossible to find. Then one day I stumbled into an auction house. To my surprise the very book that I had been looking for was up for auction. "Born Beyond Belief" a series of notes about space, matter and time written by Dr. Munchen.

It was an original copy. But how original I didn't know at the time. Inside the book was a sleeve of paper with "page 3 of 92" written on it and at the bottom it was signed, Dr.Munchen. I could not explain what I had found. They were symbols of some kind. On the sheet there was writings by Dr.Munchen. He was trying to solve it himself. I have yet to figure out the exact meaning of them but I feel that it may be a map.

Remember

btw does this look familiar?

You can always find me here at menace-media.com


hmm..

edit: seems to me that our new friend is saying it is a map--
a map of the different sectors maybe?
edit again: i emailed jordan at menace-media.com but i'm not revealing anything about our "contacts" yet. who knows if this guy is with us or against us.

Edit: Puppy, labrat - could you please post LINKS to your images (or upload them as attatchments) instead of putting the images onto the forum directly. There are some people using dial-up (including myself, sometimes) and adding pictures makes the page take forever to load.

puppy,
i checked thru cross symbols too-- but i couldn't find
a match without turning it on its side. and then in
jordon's note he does say:
Quote:
I have yet to figure out the exact meaning of them but I feel that it may be a map.


i'm counting thru how many sectors have been mentioned in the riddlemask communications. maybe this drawing is a map of
tunnels or hallways or whatever.

and sorry, Atrophied, but i inserted the pic to give a clearer image.
i changed it back to an attachment and as you can see the image
quality is lacking (at least it is on my computer)

He doesn't know either... for sure. Probably it is a map. But looking for what else it could be does not hurt. If it's a map... why the care in putting it "rightside up"?

I even did a search on layouts of buildings (mainly churches) but no luck. Laying the symbol on a streetmap is like fitting a sugarcube in a cup of coffee; it always fits.

Same here. Embarassed Problem has been rectified.

according to symbols.com, the symbol means the following:

http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/09/0911.html

Quote:

09:11 · On some nautical charts the symbol indicates submerged wreck, not dangerous to surface navigation. In the French hobo or gypsy sign system the symbol means watch out for police or the police here is very alert.


when turned a quarter:

http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/09/0910.html

Quote:
09:10 · The ideogram with its main axis vertical may be used by tramps, and then has the same meaning as the preceding entry sign. But in other contexts it looses its association to danger and instead becomes a blessing sign. It is a variation of the cross of the pope and of the cross of the Russian Orthodox Church.


EDIT

There is also a symbol on the sketches.jpg which has the word religious? underneath it. This one symbolises:
http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/09/099.html
Quote:

09:9 · This structure denotes great danger. It is used by botanists to signify that a plant or part of it is very poisonous, mortal danger. The tramps and vagrants in England, Sweden, and the United States use it to mean policeman lives here or the people here call the police. The sign is often doubled in this context
