 		she did sign on to myspace today. I do not know if she picked up her messages, I know that she didn't accept my friend add.

I would play it safe and wait a few days, maybe we will hear from Christopher by Monday.

Good point. We just know we need to talk with Lien. Chances are, if we are supposed to talk with Lien, others who may not have Lien's or Christopher's best interest in mind will want to talk with her as well.

Christopher, if you are lurking, when you go, you should be very careful! If anyone else knows about Lien and found her first, you could be in danger yourself!

We should set up a time when we should definitely hear from you by. If we don't hear from you by a certain time, we'll know something is up. Once you set up your flight, post to us when is a reasonable time for us to hear from you.

Good luck!

Nakwatcha

Lien Meihui update

With the assistance on some online allies, I have determined that Lien Meihui works at the offices of the Hung Society Foundation on the 21st floor of the Taipei 101 building in Taiwan. I'm going to take the next flight to Taiwan. Lien Meihui hasn't returned any of my emails or phone calls, so I have no other choice but to try and find her in person. I don't speak the language and I've never been to Taiwan, so I'm going to need some assistance. Hopefully Lien Meihui will be able to provide me some of the answers I am seeking.

I'll update you as soon as I can from Taiwan. Wish me luck.


Good work!!! Did you contact Mr. Forrest directly? Or is he lurking?


I contacted him via his LJ, but only cit/country...he got the rest. Or maybe he is lurking........ HI Mr. Forrest!!!!!!!!!

 		Limiting ourselves
GlitteringGold had a good point about the search for the picture of the building 21...not to limit ourselves. I definitely was thinking it was Manhattan and limited myself to that.

I'll definitely keep it in mind for future searches!

Sorry Christopher! I was confusing you with nbnewell! Embarassed Do you want to give us a check in time for you so we know that something is up if we don't hear from you by a certain time?



Nakwatcha you should post this in comments on his livejournal.
http://chrisforrest.livejournal.com/
That is where we are expected to contact him.

 		FWIW:

Assuming he left directly from NY the earliest he would arrive in Taipei is Sunday AM. I wouldn't expect to hear from him before Late Sunday or early monday, unless he posts while on layover.

(one has a 5 hour layover in Korea.)

Think they have WIFI there?!?!?!? Laughing

 		Aztecs - OOG, but very appropriate

 		Also OOG: Anyone read The God Code? I stumbled on it when I was browsing around ye olde metaphysical store ;P It was basically a book on everything this game is based on. I was just wondering if any of you have read it, or think it might be some help.

 		Puzzle One: The Grid

Code:
9uxyfvj2
wgl4lsk8
ha3isgab
4iabbaoj
7nqi hfo
tmemy5bg
pobragdu
3e69axur


Puzzle Two: I-Ching

Code:
- -  - -

The grid is most probably a Grille cipher, but I don't know which kind yet. The I-Ching is not in hexagram form, which would lead me to believe the actual signs each represent mean something important. Thanks to Ticket, the names of each of the I-Ching groups above are:

Tui, Tui
Ch'ien
K'an
Li, Li
K'un
Sun
Ken, Chen
K'an, K'an

---

I'm working on the grid as we speak. I do know that the binary and the numbers from the I-Ching do not translate into anything.

 		I-Ching puzzle
I have looked at the I-ching code and coupled two by two. Reviewed it with wiki and this is what i got:

43
- - - -
--- ---
--- ---
---
---
---
upper: dui, dui (lake, lake)
lower: qian (heaven)
43 = Parting = break-through (resoluteness)
I guess this tells us that this is the way to go...

63
- -
---
- -
--- ---
- - - -
--- ---
upper: kan (water)
lower: li, li (fire, fire)
63 = Already Fording = "after completion" / "already completed".

46
- -
- -
- -
---
---
- -
upper: kun (earth)
lower: xun (wind)
46 = Ascending = "pushing upward".

4 40
--- - -
- - - -
- - ---
- - - -
--- ---
- - - -
upper: ghen, zhen (mountain, thunder)
lower: kan, kan (water, water)
Upper : ghen
Lower: kan
4 = Enveloping = youthful folly, the young shoot, discovering

Upper: zhen
Lower: kan
40 = "Taking-Apart" = deliverance" and "untangled"

the trigrams that remain are water/lake/swamp (dui) and fire (li)


Binary values:
dui, dui
Ch'ien
K'an
Li, Li
K'un
Xun
Ghen, Zhen
K'an, K'an

Binary values:

110 110
111
010
101 101
000
011
001 100
010 010

Maybe there's someone to take it over from here....

 		The message in three languages
I don't know if anyone translated this previously, but anyway here goes...
From http://www.triadgenomics.com/Order.html

מאז נכנסתי לפוליטיקה, אני בעיקר היה בעל השקפות הגברים גילו אלי באופן פרטי. הם יודעים שיש כוח אישם כל כך אירגן, כל כך
דק, כל כך ערני, כל כך ינטארלוקאד, כל כך שלם, כל כך חודר, שלא היתה להם יותר טוב לא מדבר מעל הנשימה שלהם כאשר הם
מדברים בהרשעה של זאת.
Since then entered the politics, I mainly there was has views of the men discovered to me privately. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so
fine, so alert, so Yntarlokad, so complete, so pervasive, that not they had better does not talk over their breath when they speak in the condemnation of this.

إن شكوكنا خائنون و تجعلنا خسر جيد oft نحن ( تربح قوة عندما خاف بأن يحاول.
Our doubts are traitors and they make us lose Oft neck we ( the profiteering of a force when it feared that it tries.

Характер человека его судьба.
Character of the person is its destiny.

If anyone knows Hebrew, Arabic or Russian better than online translators you are welcome to refine it Smile

 		ok, I can expand on this more, but an unable to quite wrap my brain around solving it. I took the answers you guys gave and organized it....

but the grid:


I converted all to numbers....


which can then be converted to hexagrams (I-ching can be broken down to binary all explained here: http://www.lilicat.com/yin_yang.php)

to look something like an I-ching square like this:




(example only, I haven't gotten anywhere near that far. http://cfcl.com/ching/square.shtml)
