Just in case this actually becomes important at some point, here's some more information:

Hel- corruption/alternate latinization of hebrew El, name of God
Heloym- Probably alternate latinization of Elohim or Elyon, names of God
Sother-
Emmanvel- classical name for the Messiah
Sabaoth- one of the Hebrew names of God
Agla- Kabbalistic acronym for "The Lord is Mighty Forever" (Atah Givor Le-olam Adonai). One of the names of God.
Tetragrammaton- YHVH, associated with Kabbalah
Agyros-
Otheos- possibly from "Agios O Theos," (O Holy God), Greek opening of a Latin hymn sung on Good Friday. Could be interpreted as a name of God.
Ischyros- "mighty", seems to refer to Jesus occasionally
Athanatos- literally "without death," used as a name of God in the Good Friday services, usually in conjunction with "Agios" (holy)
Iehova- alternate latinization of YHVH
Va-
Adonai- one of the Hebrew names of God
Saday- alternate latinization of Shaddai, a name of God.
Homovsion-
Messias- appears to be alternate latinization of "Messiah"
Eschereheye-
نهاية -highly probably an Arabic name for God. Can anyone verify?

Other sites of note:
Assumpta Maria-- a poem about the Virgin Mary, mother of God in the Christian tradition. Note the repeating refrain of "Ischyros/ Agios Athanatos."
This page is a mailing list's attempt to translate the whole thing as one phrase/psalm.

Also, my bet is on this tying into the Alpha and Omega game, simply because "Alpha and Omega" is yet another name of God in the Christian tradition (and possibly the other Abrahamic religions as well.)

The way I see it, we're going to have to end up figuring out how to log into this "Secure website"

From there, we'll discover one of two things:

1) The next step in this ARG
2) That this really is a budding Aerospace/defense work company, and that we all just landed ourselves in deep trouble XD

Ok, so we're absolutely positive that this is a related website an worth exploring? If so, there may more to this than a simple RPG after all.

Triton Enterprises owns EHWR.com. Period. It isn't speculation, its a fact. http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=ethanhaaswasright.com

There isn't anything to see now at Triton Enterprises' website, but by virtue of the fact that they own EHWR.com means that they are worth keeping an eye on.

As to the first: I don't see how it could be unrelated if the pointer to it came via the domain registration information for Van Mantra's domain.

As to the second: There's nothing about this development which would suddenly make the ARG not a promotion for that RPG. It's still a completely open question, of course, but this site hardly does anything to the possibility.

Hey guys, new here, but following this one closely. The new e-mail from Triton:

The part in bold is what interests me. I've tried sending a few numbers (the auth code from the Erik Haas autoreponse error, and a couple others, has anyone tried sending in a Contractor ID number?

Re: auto response has changed

The landing page for Triton Enterprises says, "Building the future one vision at a time." I did a search for "Triton" and "Visions" and came up with this email that nelbot posted here on pg.13:

I think I'm safe, for now. Wherever I go it isn't long before they find me. It seems The Mezin are connected to every aspect of humanity, from culture and religion to our most advanced technology I have to be more careful contacting all of you. When I began I thought I could safely speak about his writings and perhaps save us all... but now it seems I will have to find a more subtle way to share his visions. If this is the first message you have received from me do not give up hope! There are others that have gone before you, the way has been found, you only need to search and you will find the answers you seek. We are getting stronger, our voices will be heard! I have more of Haas's writings, once I find a secure way to transmit them I will leave you clues to find them. The more I read the more I realize Haas was right��

Is Van trying to tell us that he owns the TritonEnterprises.net site, and that's how we'll be communicating with us in the future?

Edit: I know the two sites share the same owner...speculating that Van is that owner.

That was my suggestion awhile ago and then yesterday, which caused some heat-induced (on my part) snark and cranky.

It's still what I believe, notwithstanding the obvious holes in the theory, as detailed yesterday here.

I searched...that email is the only result returned using "Triton" and "Visions" as criteria.

I don't know what you'd search for to find it. I just know it's somewhere in the last 24 hours of posts or so.

It'll be nice when we get a dedicated forum for this...sticky a "game so far" and all. Smile

Actually, the first reference to EHWR I can find is on June 28 at the Xbox Scene forums http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=610210&st=0

And, interestingly, the user who posted that -- bjkman22 -- did so as a newbie on forum after forum after forum, including most prominently a number of gaming sites.

I think this points to one Brian Kessman of bkessmanSPLATgmail.com as being the puppetmasters' original seeder.

ETA: Oh, and in fact.

Brian works for Red Interactive Agency, the people who created the EHWR site.
