In my case, the gates to the main stadium was the card with the "Find her" message. The swimming venue was the last card in the dates.

 		Yo yo yo I got a package too - nothing new to report except my box message read:

Follow the clew

and the fortune cookie message read:

You will soon see, where once you were blind.

If this isn't McGonigal related I shall eat Minkette's eyepatch. Reporting for duty! Woot!

In any case. I believe "Find her..." is somewhat more an instruction than a clue, and we have been told that it will start when we meet Ariadne. My 2 cents: We need someone to look for her.

 		first hack at a transcription
complete transcription available at the wiki, HERE


A first pass at a transcription, someone else will have to build out the rest.
(then a forum mod or I can delete this post)
Quote:
do you recognize me?
I mean do you have any idea who I am
I don't know who I am
...
how I lost my memory in the first place
...
clinical term is ___
the kind of amnesia where you forget who you are but not how to do stuff
...
total blank, and it's not like I can flip through a photograph album
so far no one has come forward to claim me as their girlfriend..
...
all I know is this: I woke up two weeks ago blindfolded in a cornfield here in South Africa
...
my accent..maybe it's American, maybe it's English
so what I need to figure out
...
woke up in a cornfield
...
here, just outside of Johannesburg
...
even though my brain is scrambled I don't have a scratch on my body or a bump on my head
...
so far
...
this tattoo, it says truvo la ringon perdita
it's esperanto and it says find the lost ring
...
the second
not only healthy, but super healthy and I quote
physical conditioning and stamina like a champion athlete
...
maybe there is an Olympic team out there who's been wondering why I've been skipping practice
...
I am okay, mostly, I'm just scared. and a lot confused
I hope that if you're watching this you're the one who's missing me ...
...
until we figure out what my real name is, you can call me Ariadne.

 		Jesus christ I have been constantly refreshing for like an hour and you guys still beat me to it. You are clearly maniacs and you have my undying allegiance.

 		Tattoo - Trovu la ringon perditan

Found this on Flickr

Dies Tätowierung... Ich habe keine ahnung wo sie herkommt, oder in welcher Sprache sie geschrieben worden ist.

"Trovu la ringon perditan" was könnte das denn heissen?

 		That's a German person with the same problem: lost his memory, but woke up in York.

 		Oh, and I'll be captain obvious and take a stab that the tattoo translates to "find the lost ring"

 		We need to start tracking this German guy, Marcus Mystery http://www.flickr.com/photos/23961794@N06/

Also, look for possibilities that there is a Chinese involved?

 		Kai is the "investigator" who created the website for her. He sent her this video.

I hope he doesn't mind me sharing this video. It was kind of a private message. But it was Kai's idea to take the investigation online -- so if anything comes of this, he deserves the credit!

Isn't Kai mentioned in the German flickr pages?

 		From watching the video, I noticed that she's wearing a ring on her right hand, on the middle finger. I commented, asking if she had the ring when she was found--it could have personal meaning to her life.

There was no field for entering my name, just an anti-bot field. I got this after I submitted:

"Thanks for posting your comment! I love hearing from you guys, but I want to keep things kind of focused, so don�t be upset if I don�t post every single one."

The comment doesn't appear to show on the page, though.

He says that he's a geek, tech stuff is what he does, and "meeting strange women during foot surgeries." Did he meet Ariadne that way, then? His surgery, or more likely, hers?
