I'm surprised that the 9 step version is actually easier then the 5 step version.

 		alright so i emailed Mei-Hui (lets.help.meihuiSPLATgmail.com)

I asked her if she understands English and she replied with this.
Quote:

Hi Brett,

It's GREAT news!! So I am not the only one?

So happy for your email!! Yes, I understand you, but can't write too much. You know people speaking Mandarin?

Who are these 4 others? where?

I am very excited!


so I think we can add her email to the wiki...and we can also assume that she speaks Mandarin since she was asking if I knew anyone who speaks it. I emailed her back with the other's emails/websites and I asked her what she was wearing Wink and if she could remember anything about when she woke up

------

I emailed Noriko as well asking her what she was wearing/what she could remember...and I got this.

Quote:
Hello Brett san! Thank you for email. ^_^ Sorry I understand only some English,　and auto-translation not so good. (@_@)

I woke up with a cloth blindfold.　白いお花の刺繍のある布で目隠しをされていたんですが、おかしな話ですよね。でも、傷一つなかったので、自分でしたのでしょうけど。。。　それから黒のパンツと上着、運動する時に着るような、動きやすい服にスニーカーでした。混乱してて、その姿ですぐ走り出しましたが、全く問題なしでした。　　Athletic Black top and pants and sneakers, easy to run.

I woke up in the center of the labyrinth in Okayama in Japan.　でも、全く周りに見覚えはありませんでした。

Thank you for help, I appreciate! I wish there were people in Japan who help me can help me too. (T_T)
I have no idea what is going on. Not only me having the same situation. 本当に何が起こっているのか分からなくて、少し怖くなってきてます。。。

BABELFISH TRANSLATION (sounds nothing short of a drunk yoda)

You blindfolding with the cloth which has the embroidery of the your white flower, hurting, it does, but it is strange story, don't you think?. Because so, scars 1 it was not, however it probably is to be yourself. . . Then when the underpants and the coat of black, exercising, it seems that it wears, it was the sneaker in the clothes which are easy to move. Being confused, the て, it started running immediately with that form, but completely there is no problem was

So, completely there was no recognition around.

You do not understand and the て, a little become fearful and increase whether something has happened truly. .

ーNoriko


sorry, i can't translate now (I'm still at work) I hate leaving stuff like that unfinished, so my apologies...if no one has translated it by the time i get home I'll do it then.

EDIT managed to sneak in the translation

 		Hello people!
An Argentinian here!

I read this huge topic, and I see you are doing a remarkably progress. This is my first contact with an ARG, though I wasn't unaware of them.

Anyway, I'll put myself to date and try to help when needed, but I must warn you, my English isn't good.

BTW:
"No puedo dejar de dibujarlo en todos lados"

Doesn't mean:
"I cannot draw it from all sides"

Is more like: "I just can't stop drawing it everywhere" (Is that how you say it?) That is: He's like obsessed with that maze.

Hi! I'm new 'round here.
A very short number of people, in Argentina, recieved the pack.
I've to say that I'm not one of the lucky (or not) ones. But a close friend who has a blog in an important .com newspaper recieved it.
So, I copy pasted the blog's link here so you can contact him...
I'm sure you can help him...
I've to admit that this game is way too interesting...

greetings from argentina...

A white flower embroidery cloth had been blindfolded me, it is a funny story. But no one wound, but it was his. . . Then a black jacket and pants, to wear during exercise, such as clothes tend to move sneakers. Confusion in the face of走り出しましたimmediately, completely present and correct.

I woke up in the center of the labyrinth in Okayama in Japan.　でも、全く周りに見覚えはありませんでした。
But it was not totally familiar around.

Thank you for help, I appreciate! I wish there were people in Japan who help me can help me too. (T_T)

What really is going on do not know, getting a little afraid. . .

Could this be the same person who posted as "negrito_funes"?
They have the same fortune.

Not that that matters, though. Portland, Oregon recipients are dupes, too.

 		another message from Mei after asking her what she was wearing/if she had been to the doctor since "the incident"

Quote:
I wear black color clothes, when I run from scary dog very comfortable!

Why going to doctor? you think I am sick??


another athlete (no surprise)...I thought it was interesting that she doesn't think she is sick.

so I asked her where she was chased by a dog and if she could remember her past.

Quote:
a dog chase me, in park. I woke up and I was there. I don't remember anything to my past.

I need help.
Thank you. You try to help me. I know!


I asked her if she knew where the park was (like what city) and I told her to go see a doctor...waiting for a reply.

Thanks lusor for the correction. I fixed it on the wiki too.
It's been way too long since my college Spanish classes.


oh, and btw, do you recognize any of the locations or background information in the diego pictures?

 		Mei just sent me a diary entry. She also said in her email that she woke up at 狮子林, China. I googled 狮子林 and the first link gave me:THE LION FOREST GARDEN
I figured this was probably the place she woke up in because of this from the front page
Quote:
Noted for its labyrinthine mountains with winding pathways and caverns, old pines and cypress trees, awesome peaks and jogged rocks of grotesque shapes resembling dancing lions with striking and unusual poses, it possesses with pride the true delights of mountain and forest scenery in limited space with a flavor of Zen Buddhism


anyways, here is the her diary entry.(translation in red)

Quote:
I write diary and I remember this:
at beginning:

我渐渐的从昏迷中醒来，一阵寒意从脚到头经过，全身发冷。蒙胧中我听到讲话的声音，有些比较远，有些声音听起来好像就在我附近。我的头觉得重重的，而且身旁ㄧ片漆黑，什么东西都看不到。我想办法睁开我的眼睛，才发现我的眼睛被蒙起来了。我把蒙著我眼睛的东西拿下来，但是眼睛还是没办法适应。我记得我醒过来的时候是脸朝下，额头靠在我的右手臂上。我还以为我是八十岁的老小姐，动都不能动。我只好待在原位，让我自己清醒一下，直到我能张开我的眼睛。我发现我在一个好暗好暗的空间。

我左看看，右看看，结果看到大概有七，八个会移动的影子在我身边晃来晃去，指指点点的。我一开始有点害怕，后来就火起来了。"看啥看啊？"我心里想，"也不帮忙，只会瞪著我看…"我就也给他瞪回去！哼，谁怕谁呀…结果他们真的就被我瞪走了，嘻嘻！我可可怜怜的ㄧ个人坐在地上 ::*_*:: 不知道到底是什么ㄧ回事，啥都记不起来。地上是用灰色，鹅卵石似的石头铺成的。又硬又冷又冰…

我爬起来，拿著那条绑著我的眼睛的"东西"，慢慢地跟著之前那些对著我指指点点的人后面走。越走光线就越亮。我才发现我是置身在一个像迷宫样的山洞里，看起来好像是大块大块的石头堆起来的，而这些石头的表面也是冷冷的，粗粗的。往出口的路弯弯曲曲的，而且一开始很窄，后来才面慢慢变宽。到了出口我才发现我身上穿著一件黑色长裤及一件黑色的长袖夹克，后面还有加帽子的那种。我也搞不清楚为什么我全身上下都是黑漆麻乌的。不过用来绑我的眼睛的丝巾倒是充满了色彩，很漂亮喔…

I gradually awoke from the coma, a while after the end chill from the feet, body cold. Wenglong speech I have heard in the voices of some distant, some sounds I like in the vicinity. I think the first full, and the dark side ㄧ film, do not see anything. I would like to open my eyes and found my eyes kept up. I covered my eyes, things had to, but still can not meet the eye. I remember when I wake up is facing, I rely on the forehead right arm. I thought I was 80-year-old Miss, moving not dynamic. I had to stay in situ, let me clear about their own, until I can open my eyes. I find myself in a good dark good dark room.

I look left and right to see, to see the results, there are about seven or eight will be moving shadow on my side Dangling, and the little finger. I started a bit scared, the fire was on the up. "啥can see ah?" I would like to heart, "does not help, I can only Dengzhe…" I have to go back to destroy him! Sing, Sheiboshei ah… results they really were I to destroy gone, hee hee! I cocoa Lingling the ㄧ individuals sit on the ground ::*_*:: do not know what is ㄧ matter in the end, and consequently can not remember the past. Grey is with the ground, like a stone paved with cobblestones. Also hard cold and ice…

I get up and carrying那条tied my eyes "nothing", and slowly follow the finger at me before those little people walk behind. Vietnam sneaked away more bright line. I found that I was outside in a maze-like cave, looks like a large chunks of rock pile up, and the surface of these stones are cold, the rough. Exports to the winding road, and a very narrow start, and then it slowly widened surface. Exports to me, I found that wearing a pair of black trousers and a black long-sleeved jacket, and also behind the kind of hat. I also engage in it is not clear why my whole body from top to bottom are black paint Ma Ukraine. But I used to tie a scarf However eyes full of color, very pretty Oh…

I am sorry. I like write, but not good for english so i write my own! Smile

more?

Mei


If someone who knows chinese can provide a better translation, that would be awesome. I replied saying "yes, more please"
