Great work!

I see on his site it says "As a linguist I specialize in various theoretical languages such as Atlantean..." No wonder he got it before all of us.

The places he mentions seem kind of random, but that first one is very close to where I live. Less than a mile down the road, actually. Does anyone else recognize those places?

The shop itself is OK I guess, but nothing really to write home about. That is, I don't think it's internationally famous or anything. Haven't been by there lately, though.

feck he says he went to "tattershal" castle well that don't exist BUT i live in Tattershall with a Tattershall castle it's about 300 yards from my house freaky

OK, so it seems intentional. So if it is, and the others turn out to also correspond to players, is that just an attempt to connect with the real world, or will those locations actually have some significance? I mean, I could drop by the Collector's Cabinet if I had a reason to.

[redarmyboro]

surely its just connecting with the players cos what i can't imagine what tattershall castle has to do with the story, i've worked there nowt about end of the world of atlantis

The story about the Plato clock (http://www.bryanaristos.com/plato.html) is interesting, and mostly true, it seems:
http://www.koonysun.com/horology_world.htm (about 3/4 of the way down).

Obviously, Plato ties in to the Atlantis story (since he first recorded it) and the 746865656e64.com/ site (that's him in the background).

I haven't confirmed the 59-minute hour bit, or the revenge bit, but that may prove important. Revenge does appear on the find him image, so that must be important.

EDIT: Here's a better page with more information.

EDIT AGAIN: Here's the google search result with what looks like the source image. It's no longer on that page, though.

And it does appear that the Eugene Fitch 59-minute hour is true:

in case you didn't know...that drawing in the bottom left of his homepage is Atlantis...

I also looked for some evidence of the 59-minute story, and the "donnl" page was also the only thing I could find.

The theory on that page regarding the 59-minute digital clocks is very much nonsense. At the end, it states that Fitch's revenge is a theory to explain that. If that really is the origin of the story, I find it quite strange for an antiquarian to fall for this.

BTW, the donnl page is probably not in-game, as it seems to be quite old (see http://members.aol.com/donnl/) and is referenced by several other pages on Google.

At least John will be happy -- has anyone passed on Bryan's email address to him?

I noticed he says:

I suspect Jesse : Bryan :: John : Hank. Maybe not so fixated on redheads, though.

Maybe jesseSPLAThushmail.com?
