And why is there a .pdf with sheet music when you click on the [2] reference? Stranger and stranger...

I sent Markus an email this morning with a link to Eli Hunt's podcasts on dotSUB. Markus replied to me and "Vlad" (whom I think is kosmopol here on Unfiction).
Quote:
Vlad, Ouro -
Ich habe Ihnen beide diese Email geschickt - ich denke vielleicht kann diese Information uns weiterhelfen? Keine Ahnung was das Wort und diese Nummern bedeuten könnten...

Danke für die Email, ich werde mir die Webseite später heute Abend anschauen. Bin wieder am Fluss rennen gegangen, und hatte, naja, ich weiss nicht wie ich das erklären kann. Es war so ahnlich wie eine Vision. Ich habe schon mal gesagt das ich mich beim Rennen super toll fühle, aber das hier war anders. Es hat sich so gefühlt als war ich so leicht wie eine Feder - meine Füße haben kaum den Boden berührt. Und dann wurde alles grell, ich sah nichts als weiss vor meinen Augen.

Als ich zu mir kam, lag ich neben dem Pfad am Boden. Ich muss mindestens eine Stunde dort bewusstlos gewesen sein, weil eine kleine Gruppe von Leuten um mich herum standen. Als ich erwachte fragte mich jemand ob ich OK war, ob sie einen Krankenwagen rufen sollten. Ich fühlte mich irgendwie merkwürdig - Geräusche schienen anders zu sein, als ob sie rückwärts spielten und ich hatte in den Ohren ein lautes Pfeifen.

Ich konnte an nichts denken, als das Wort Thumos und die Nummern 696. Vielleicht haben sie irgendeine Ahnung was mit mir da passiert ist?

Alles Gute,
Markus

I'll paraphrase from Google Translator, kosmopol might give us a better translation later.
1. Markus will watch Eli Hunt's vid-casts later this evening.
2. Markus had a vision or dream involving the word THUMOS and the number 696.
3. It seems that this vision came on him while he was in a fugue or seizure state, which occurred during a run along the river.

from Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumos wrote:

Thumos (also commonly spelled "thymos") (Greek: θυμος) is an Ancient Greek word expressing the concept of spiritedness. The word indicates a physical association with breath or blood. The word is also used to express the human desire for recognition.


Thanx, Ouroboros for summarize! (And, yes, I`m Vlad Smile)

Perhaps I`m a little late, but here is the description of Markus` vision.

Quote:
I was again running along the river and then... well, dunno how to explain... I`d kinda vision. I`d already said, I feel greet while of running, but it was something different. It was a feeeling like I were feathery - my feets hadn`t touch the ground. And then everything became somehow flashy, I couldn`t see anything but whiteness.

After I regained concsiousness I found me near the way on the ground. I was perhaps around an hour out of cold, because there was little group of people around of me. As I was awaken, somebody asked me whether I were OK, or they should call a doctor. I felt myself somehow strange - the sounds seemed to be kind of different, like they were played backwards and I had weird squeeze in my ears.





Btw, I think, he doesn`t only represent Thumos. We have to watch out for username thumos969.

 		I think our athletes will eventually become moderators on some IG forum with each representing the 6 tributes and we are the ones being trained.

Where Eli comes in? Finding the secret on March 11?

 		I don't know why, but all this about a sport with a blindfold reminds me of that movie Intacto (i don't remember if it's spoken in spanish or english) in which to test the contestants luck, they make them run in a forest with blindfolds. Very dangerous, but kind of cool!

EDIT: oh, and I emailed Eli Hunt too asking where his lecture was, I wanted to attend. We'll see.

In that case I'm looking forward to watching ARG'ers running around the olympic arena blindfolded on the closing ceremony in Beijing! Very Happy

Maybe we find out where this event is and send someone? I'm also partial to slight coercion... if he really wants to stay private, perhaps we can threaten to expose him publicly (IG of course) in some way if he doesn't tell us what we want.

I'd say if it's publicly listed event, we send one or two people and they don't harangue. If it isn't obvious where it is, I would conclude we weren't supposed to be there or there was nothing for us.

If we can figure out where it is but it is definitely private, I recommend against motor vehicle chases or helicopter surveillance.

What about commandeering a spy satellite?

Spy Satellites are so Tom Clancy and teh-80s. I'm thinking you scratch-build a light-weight drone from a bag of crisps and a paper towel tube, with a cameraphone for GPS as the nav-package.

http://www.thelostgames.com/_res/img/gallery/episode1/Corinthian-Tablet.jpg


The Demetros tablet should be easy. but...
all I've gotten so far is
EIZ
DEMETRION
NIK omega N
TEZ
PAIU NIAS
ALEthEIAS
MEUA....

Eiz could be Greek for "To"
Demetrion obviously relates to Demetros
NIK omega N may relate to conquer. I see it in a few translations.
ALEthEIAS is Greek for Truth

Aletheias & Demetrion are the 2 words I feel confident about.
Feel free to have a look.
Some of the alpha's look like omicrons. You definitely have to use the greek letters themselves before putting into googles Greek->English translator.

It's a link to a ballet that featured a piece called "Blind Man's Buff", cited as a source for that alternative spelling of the name of the game.

Oh, and I like Kona's take (above) very much!

Unfortunately, the parts that we probably need are the ones that are scratched out
