 		About two hours ago, an interesting post was written in Japanese at Japanese FtLR Wiki. Here's my translation:

There're Theo's allies also in Japan
They are double-spying
Be careful when you get together
Make sure what each member was doing -- (　) 2008-05-26 14:09:48

This seems to be a warning for Tokyo labyrinth next Sunday.
I wonder who wrote this -- althought it might be a gamejack.
I remember well the omphaputer said "Artifact seekers: Take Care!" before Okayama pickup.

 		I think there have been other TheO spies besides James at training events. It is kind of creepy. Very Happy Maybe you will see someone from TheO! Look out for anyone who looks like he could be Noriko's brother! Maybe you should bring duct tape just in case!

I wonder how we should fix the string on the grass field. Madrid people put stones on the string, and Dallas people didn't fix the string, I suppose. It seems I'd better try some methods before I go to Tokyo.


I've made some tests, and now I think that the best way to fix the strings on the grass might be to use hairpins (with small balls at the ends in case). First stand the hairpins by pricking the ground, then align the strings to the standing hairpins and fix the strings. The hairpins are totally hidden into the ground and later easily removed by pulling the strings without losing. I drew a corner with this method.

 		Re: Just a test!
I wonder if anybody recognized the labyrinth above was drawn by a real Trackstick ....

Today we're going to run the first human labyrinth in Japan. I am so excited and yesterday I took a practice of drawing a labyrinth on the grass. It took an hour.

Yes, he did. City-sized labyrinth was itself a great fun!

I am in the way home from the human labyrinth in Tokyo. I'll post a report later.

He Did? Why? Tokyo is not on the list, isn't it?

And also a video found via the youtube lostring rss feed...

 		@unagi - That looks cool! What mode of transportation did you use to do the trackstick test? Is it by car or you actually run through the course?

 		Report: Tokyo Human Labyrinth Training (Sunday, June 1)
I apologize I haven't been able to write a report of the Tokyo labyrinth (Sunday, June 1st) ... I'm on a business trip, and now there remain a lot to read in uF now .... But:

The first human labyrinth in Japan was a great success! Please see:
GasKetz (Dikaiosune)'s report in Noriko's Forum (translation) - videos and photos
Japanese Wiki - videos and more photos
Ariadne's blog - videos

I would like to add:
- Fifteen people participated, including street performer, cosplayer, magician and some from very far pars of Japan
- At the assembly point, before the first participants arrived, there was a poster saying "Nedetrui Paralelaj Universoj! Nitrogen" (my translation: Don't destroy parallel universes!) (Nitrogen is one of the most active in Noriko's forum, and he has declared he is on Theo's side). I had brought a sort of duct tape, following jasper's advice, but we couldn't kidnap Theo's alley unfortunately, because he/she didn't appear during the training.
- Yoyogi Park is always full of performers, so our labyrinth team looked very natural among them. A member of the team, Huma, wrote he realized the true meaning of Chapter 4 of the Codex, "hiding our labyrinths in the clear view of those non-initiated."
- I love this photo .... It's beautiful, isn't it?
- Tatoo seals and strength seals were so nice!
- We finished the training event about 5pm.

To be continued ...

 		By the way, I took tatoo seals, strength seals and a trackstick. Remembering Noriko's meeting with people in San Francisco, I asked Noriko to send us tatoo seals before Tokyo labyrinth, and Kai sent me the seals. I had discussed with Noriko that Tokyo will need a trackstick, so I was suggested to receive one together with the seals. I wanted Kai for a delivery arriving before the Tokyo labyrinth. Later James's atlas revealed 24 omphcities (Note: Japan islands aren't in his atlas), and Tokyo isn't in Eli's list of 27 omphcities, but Chapter 23 and the omphaputer say "at least 27". Ariadne also wrote "We're still waiting to uncover more". I believe that Tokyo will join the Earth-sized omphalos.

It's by bicycle. The labyrinth area is about 900 x 900 m.
