 		[BLOG]Need Translation: Larissa's theory on Theo's identity
Looks like she thinks it's Kai. Can anybody translate her video?

 		Sorry not translation but another Larissa blog question.

On the wiki timeline is a blog update with the title "Vamos contactar o Eli Hunt! // Let's contact Eli Hunt!" from April 18
But on the blog the id leads to another title: "O capítulo 20 do Lost Ring Codex" from April 19

So the first one is not there anymore. Does someone know what was the content. I guess it has been overwritten.

 		I'm translating the video right now, hold on.


EDIT: ok, here it goes:

Quote:
Hi guys. You know how I was shaken up after receiving that letter with Renata's photo from the USA... from thinking she's with Theo and that he know's where I live. I thought about it a lot, and I think that Theo is Kai. Think with me: Kai lives in San Francisco, which is from where the letter with Renata's photo was sent. But he was in South Africa when Ariadne woke up. And since then he's been an angel fallen from the sky... giving us all this technology... but I think there's a lot more behind all this.

It's not that hard to find out or at least try to know where the travellers will appear every 4 years. They simply will send a lot of people to various labyrinths around the world and wait till the people show up. Because we know they come every 4 years around the same date. And I think that's what happened with Renata. I think there was someone there waiting for her to show up. But I found her first! And that person must of followed us. I think that's why they know my address... because that person, in the 3 months Renata was with me, established contact with her... sometimes he/she threatned her, threatned me, and that's why she wanted me to give her some distance and never told me anything. In the end, she was very misterious... maybe because of that, the trip was a way to vanishe, to get lost of that people.

Well, I want to believe that Renata has nothing to do with all that. I believe her. I think she's being held against her will. Maybe they brain-washed her... maybe she believes she's doing the right thing... I hope I'm wrong and that Kai is who he says he is... that he is friend, someone like us, someone who's trying to solve this problem. But... I don't know... And you? Who do you think might be Theo?

Vamos contactar o Eli Hunt! - 18/04 2008 08:33
Chariton, precisamos de sua força para conseguirmos que Eli Hunt nos ajude novamente!

Ele desapareceu...mas ainda precisamos descobrir mais sobre tudo que ele sabe.

Acho que ele está nos dando informações na conveniência dele. Mas precisamos MAIS e AGORA!

O email dele é thelostgamesSPLATgmail.com.

Essa missão estará completa quando alguém conseguir que ele nos escreva de volta, explicando o que ele está fazendo!

 		Larissa IM'd me just now; it's mostly the same information from her video, with the addition that she has "an idea", and is hoping to travel. She wouldn't tell me where, though. Here's the log:
Quote:

larissa: oi
Alex: hallo

larissa: tudo bem?
or how are you?

Alex: Ah! I am well
you practicing English?

larissa: yes
what's up? Smile

Alex: been very busy with work, but it is better now
normal again
how are you?

larissa: also busy

Alex: anything interesting?

larissa: not much...I have a crazy idea, but is nothing set

Alex: (I have not seen your post lately)

larissa: I can tell you that I getting my documents together, and might travel (hope) not sure

Alex: where will you go?

larissa: I will tell you when I know for certain

Alex: Smile
if you need anything, and I can help, please ask!

larissa: obrigada Alex
how about you? working on something interesting?

Alex: I was hoping to try a labyrinth here, in Boston
but I have been too busy, and have not found many people yet
I will try again soon
I met one person, Limako, who knows esperanto

larissa: fantastic

Alex: he is helping translate the codex

larissa: i need learn esperanto too Smile

Alex: it was easier than I thought!

larissa: Bira, know esperanto he is my blog...if you need more help

Alex: ok!

larissa: I'm waiting a reply from Kai...I don't know if he saw my video

Alex: there are no subtitles yet...

larissa: i want to do it, but my english is not very good
basically I think Kai is involved with Theo (or he is theo)

Alex: !
that could be bad

larissa: the envelope I got came from San Francisco and Renata might be in hollywood
I think Kai was in the labirinth in Africa waiting for a traveler, Ariadne

Alex: he knew she would be coming?

larissa: since the codex has been arond for 100 years don't you think is possible that more people know about the multiverse and the travelers? Theo's group could calculating which labirinths
travelers could appear
Someone could have been in Renatas labirint but I got to her first
that's how they got to her

Alex: they could be way ahead of us

larissa: we only know this for a few months, they know for 100 years
Perhaps, even Renta was able to sincronize with her other selfs and found out the truth...that could be how they are using her
am I crazy?

Alex: you think they brainwashed her?

larissa: yes

Alex: I don't think that's crazy

larissa: because she was desperate to know more about herself...she would believe anything

Alex: but it is frightening

larissa: someone from inside is Theo
I got to go...lunch time is almost over...Smile
tchau...nice to talk to you

Alex: thanks! lunch time for me as well

 		Larissa has been posting pretty much the same thing on her forums in this thread.

She also confirms something that I have suspected, which is that we are supposed to be adding captions in all the various languages to the videos posted on dotSUB:
Larissa wrote:
Vocês viram que o video ta no dotsub?
quem for fera de ingles (jorge) esperanto (bira) e as outras linguas...pode ir la colocar subtitulo no video!

googletranslation wrote:
You saw the video on dotsub ta?
Whoever fera de ingles (jorge) Esperanto (bira) and other languages can go ... put the caption on the video!

The video in question: http://www.dotsub.com/films/quemotheo/index.php


Some notes about captioning on dotSUB:

You have to register and sign-in in order to transcribe and add captions. Last night, I added captions to Araidne's most recent video. It is actually pretty easy to do, although it definitely takes time. HOWEVER, once you are "Done" there is no way to mark the transcription as complete, thus uploading your captions to the video. I was miffed, to put it slightly, that my time was wasted because there was no way to save my work. So, if the PMs are listening, and if they really want us to do this, they need to change whatever setting it is that would allow us to complete the transcriptions.

META rant: I'm starting to despair at the fact that our task seems to be 80% composed of translating information and passing it back and forth between the agonothetai. Now video, too?

Yes ... I'm a little tired ....

By the way, if Kai is Theo, I worry about Noriko. Isn't she being brain-washed?

 		Yes, I get it that the translations and all that is a means to bond players and have them cooperate but I agree this is getting tired.

Nevertheless, here's the english translation of a google cache sapaggo posted of a missing Larissa post:

Quote:

Chariton, we need your strengh to get Eli Hunt to help us again!

He disapearead... but we still need to find out more of all he knows.

I think he's giving us information in his convenience. We need MORE and NOW!

His emails is thelostgamesSPLATgmail.com.

This mission will be completed when someone will get him to write us back, explaining what he's doing!
