[META]His spoken german is perfect, nobody can speak this accent free without at least living in germany for years. And as both of us said before, he is making some mistakes in his word usage and in his grammar, the grammar might be because of hastyness but the wordusage reminds me of the usage of english words in direct translation, like using "hoch" (high) for saying groß (tall). So I guess this somehow is wanted.[/META]


[META]It's quite possible that one person is doing the video, and another person is responding to e-mails, talking online, etc. We've seen it before in other projects.[/META]

[edit - changed the tags, see above - kona]

 		[Update] Markus Flickr
Markus added a picture of him blindfolded to his Flickr page.

The title translates to "What was on my mind when I awoke" and the description translates to "I know that many of you wanted a picture of them. I hope this helps you somehow!"

Actually this is no spoiler, I mentioned this before and asked if the other amnesiacs might do the same in their native languages but it seems not, cause nobody confirmed this so far.


I remember you already talking about that. My theory is:

[SPEC]This actor is maybe an American with a German mother or something, raised bilingual without being in Germany ever. So his speaking is kind of good (talking to mother), but his writing not as he never attended a German school. But even if he IS German he would have a quite good English as we all have at least 6 years of English education in school. There is no way of him not being able to understand you. But well, i guess for that ARG they want that "Tower of Babel"-feeling and that's why he is acting as if he is not speaking English (what just is illogical in every theory).[/SPEC]

 		RE: Wacky meta discussion under spoiler tags
[SPEC]I think he, whoever is responding to email and chat, knows more English then he lets on. He has no trouble understanding the English that I slip in when my robo translator fails.[/SPEC]

 		[SPEC]Despite the fact of at least six years of english in school you would be surprised how many people I know who can't speak english at all, and I am working as an english tutor Smile, so it's pretty usual you will find people at his age not talking english in germany, but you could be right with your theory[/SPEC]

 		people, people! please, please stop going nuts with the spoiler tags! Razz

if the info is readily available on public sites, favour just posting the info. If it gives away solutions to puzzles, or is a typical spoiler for things like movie plot twists and whatnot, or maybe some methods to solving puzzles -- then use the spoiler.

But theories, spec, quoting blogs and messages and whatnot - spoilers not necessary... thanks Cool

Hmm, RSS feeds don't appear to be available for the new blogs... Is there a way to spoof an RSS feed for new content as it's updated?

well ariadne's is at
http://forums.findthelostring.com/blogs/ariadne/feeds/posts

replace the name for the others and they're still password protected... guessing they'll be available soon. (also the direct links to the blog entries in the feed are still pointing to security-protected urls, rather than the publicly available links on the site)

 		If you open this post of Mei Hui that login for the forum pops up again.

It seems to have something to do with the smilies (try http://forums.findthelostring.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif for instance)

Are they doing that on purpose? Are we supposed to hack that and gain access?

But the good thing is that we now have pictures of the blindfolds. The two Asian girls seem to have beautiful white ones, Lucie a red one, Markus and Diego black classic cloth blindfolds and Ariadne these white goggles.

And: We still need a transcription/translation of MeiHui's second video.
