 		It seems that our esperanto translators are going to have a lot of work from now on Very Happy.

Here is the link to the higher res scans from the Omphaputer... Razz

Entering that code I'm getting a 'Decryption Failed' error. Any chance of a typo?

Great job by the way!

Maybe it won't work until Tuesday?

On the document, the L in SPL7 is an overstrike over a lower case i

Has anybody else been wishing the person typing in 1918 had invested in a new typewriter ribbon?

ETA- also NVM Rolling Eyes
Those scans have more clarity than I could see in person.

 		The map points the starting places of the six... that's all I make of it, until a translation is made... Sad

I was thinking the same thing about being too early after posting that, but FMG took the direct approach and found the PDF anyway. Smile

 		Way to go jasper! Very Happy

All these codex pages makes me reconsider if actually learning esperanto might be a fun idea.

 		I could make out a little from these scans, and I didnt want to admit this, but I think the parallel universe theory is right.
The first page supports it. the tittle says "The 6 Travelers" and bellow it, it says something like "We are forgetting everything when we wake up in this World".

So I guess they come from another universe, oh well.

The locations are much closer together than the places our current 6 were discovered, with 2 on the UK mainland and another on the Isles Of Scilly, one in Norway, one in Sweden, and one in France.

I've tried to work out where the Swedish one is, but Trojaborg doesn't appear to be an actual place name. Wikipedia says it's a form of the name City of Troy, a seemingly common name for a maze. There are various ones in Sweden, detailed on this site. I can't work out which one it's meant to be.

I think Ariadne finding the first artifact was to set a precedent that there are indeed documents to find at the locations given by the Omphaputer (love the term, FMG Very Happy ), not to mention that she happened to be in Cardiff at the time (so why not give her the chance to find something linking to her past rather than send a player a far distance...unless we have a player in Cardiff?). There has been nothing to discourage players from going to look at the locations given by the 'puter, and since the directions given once you get the city right are pretty darn specific, I'd say it's actually encouraged. So...yeah, don't be expecting one of the amnesiacs to show up on Monday/Tuesday (plus, speaking IG, we can only stretch Kai's generosity in giving Ariadne free plane tickets so far methinks) Wink.

What I'm wondering, though, is what we are to make of this "the clue leading there was not supposed to be released until Tuesday" business...I take it we should understand that as solely an out-of-game statement. Clearly the data given by the Omphaputer has been changing as we've discovered things...dots have changed colour, new codes have been given, new specific directions to locations have been given. However, I think we can understand this IG as follows: [spec] All the information we will need is already programmed into the "secret site", but each new piece of information is only accessible when we enter the "pickup confirmation" code from each new artifact--i.e., each confirmation code is like a password to the next level of omphs. This would explain why the Dongying artifact was previously shown as "Pending confirmation" but had specific directions available once someone had entered the confirmation code. This is also a less creepy explanation than thinking whoever is running the site is monitoring our every move and opening up new access points when someone picks up a new artifact Wink .

 		translation
Is there a translation available for this pages yet? I finished one by myself, but assuredly there are far better Esperantists out there. Should I post what I put together? This is my first post and I don't want to step on any toes.
