When the site updated I resent this email (reposted below as reference) and this time I got back a rather hilarious reply!

subject Prospective Client

A colleague of mine recommended your company to me. I am the CEO of a large scale resort development project that has been experiencing setbacks due to local resistance to development. My colleague said that your company has been very helpful so far with similar issues on Project IBZ. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing how your company can help move my project along.

subject Re: Prospective Client

Dear Ms Affeni

Thank you for your enquiry. Our client list is closed by default, and has
been for some time.

We have made invitations in very special circumstances. We cannot help but
notice your "ties" to one of our advocates, Elisabeth Perl. You do seem to
get around a bit, and you've left quite a trail.

You will, of course, be aware of this:
http://www.whatisthewhiteisland.com/whoswho/ineffabelle/ineffabelle.html .
We are.

Perhaps you would like to tell us more about yourself, and how you know of
Ms. Perl; we might try to contact her as a referee. We might ask her what
she thinks of you.

We do like to keep an open mind.

Regards
The Directors
Orumax Ltd


LOL! Must say that the lines between IG and OOG have been blurred a bit, and now they're on to me Surprised Not sure what my next move should be... thoughts?

And two notes:
    1. I'm not really out to win the other prizes.... not that I'd say no but I don't have the slightest need of dj equipment and want to give others a chance to win too! But I'm rather entrenched in the storyline and having a lot of fun with it, but would be willing to back off a lead if someone else wants to give it a go.
    2. I'm kinda sick right now so I might be patchy in attendance for the next few days... just fyi...


EDIT: Fixed link.

So I just sent back this reply...

Thank you for taking the time to reply especially considering the closed nature of your client list. I see that you are already familiar with me, but I am not sure why you seem to be implying that I should be trying to hide my existing connection to Elisabeth Perl from your company. As you said she is working as an advocate for your company on Project IZB. And as you've probably gathered she is the person who introduced me to your company. I also just saw her in the video on your site and was extremely impressed with the PR campaign your company is doing. I think your company could really help my project get over a few hurdles. But of course I can't discuss the details until you've signed a nondisclosure agreement. Please let me know what Elizabeth has to say about me.

Email from the Brotherhood

(sorry for the triple post!)

subject A message from The Brotherhood
mailed-by greenchrysanthemum.com

Dear friend, this is a communication from the Brotherhood.

Our young chum Elisabeth is back on the White Island, but not yet, we fear,
out of harm's way. Nor is she where we might keep her safe, even if for a
moment.

Still, chin up - she may at least find these details useful. Especially if
she wants to know more about our slippery friends over at Orumax, and what
their clients have been looking at. There's a place that needs a password.
She'll find the next step there. http://www.orumax.com

Elisabeth will first need to know and enter the name of the island off of
the island (it's private), and then the name of someone who dwelt there
with the book of the law. He was a brother, too. Not to be cryptic, but you
never know who's listening.

Ask her to use what she learns to find people who can help. They'll point
her to the things she needs.

And do be careful...

We remain,
Your humble servants,
The Brotherhood of the Green Chrysanthemum


EDIT: They have a webiste (kinda) http://greenchrysanthemum.com/
And an mailing list sign up: http://greenchrysanthemum.com/dadada/mail.cgi

No mailing list anymore. They updated the website. (:

The site says 'From Tagomago to Katmandu'.

I guess they're references to these two places:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=illa+de+tagomago&sll=39.03732,1.646147&sspn=0.032267,0.053902&ie=UTF8&ll=39.038286,1.643529&spn=0.016133,0.026951&z=15&iwloc=addr

http://www.houseofkatmandu.com/ (not too sure about that one)

Nicely done. Guess we should have looked up "The Book of the Law" earlier. It didn't register with me that it was a title.

So, we have a map of places of interest and what I'd guess is another symbol. Anyone on Ibiza that can have a look at all of the places on the map? Laughing

Info on Crowley:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleister_Crowley
and the book:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_the_Law

ETA:
Are these locations of clubs? A quick look on Google maps says it's possible (and would obviously fit the theme - evil corporation wants to shut down the clubs).

I've just found this arg soon after I booked a trip to Ibiza.

Problem is I cant seem to sign up. On the page to join when I click on submit the page does not change and looks as if nothing has happened apart from it saying signup.php in the bottom left corner

Any ideas?

Tried using a computer at work and managed to sign in so either there was something wrong with my computer or someone been watching and fixed the problem.

Heh your right. *Waves to the watchers

Just had a look at map at Orumax site. I dont think the areas are clubs or at least just clubs. There are 7 major clubs in Ibiza Es Paradis and Eden in San An, Privilege and Amnesia near San Rafael, Space at Playa d'en Bossa, Pacha and i think El Divino at Ibiza town

However one of the points of interests is on the island Es Vedra bottom left on the map. Thats a nature reserve and is uninhabited according to Wikipedia. Also another on Tagomago which as said above is a private island.

I've also tried to zoom in to see what the map is on top of. There is a faint map of something else also and thought it might have been Oruman's plans for the island but the faded area seems larger than the island itself.

I was trying to see if there was anything on Es Vedra as well.

As for the other stuff you can't quit make out on the map, it's the backside bleeding through, and inset map. You can see the logo for the Royal Plaza in one area.

About Es Vedra, when you go to google maps, and enable the photo-thingie (so you can see photos that were made on [that] location), you can see a picture of a bunker of some sort. I reminded me of one of the first promo videos (I believe the one with Pete Tong telling about TWI), where you can see Elisabeth running down some stairs. It might be just coincidende, tho.

I'll search for links later. Sleep now. :')

I only found this a few days ago so today I've read though the forum and sites. Its not always easy to follow if you have not been invovled from the start. I think I have caught up but anything Ive missed or picked up wrong please let me know.


Elisabeth Perl (Liz) has moved to ibiza to work for the Society for the Protection of Ancient Ibiza by day and go clubbing at night.

Everything start off well with her touring the island and visiting some fo the historical sites. She meets a strange old man (i'm taking it is somehow surrealist painter Antonio Perleamo, AP)

However she soon start having troubled sleeping and having strange dreams (Got a feeling Ap has previously visited the villa Liz has been staying. The rumour Ap came back in 1938 and a newspaper from 1938 under her bed, possible the paiting on the wall is also by AP)


She then finds out she is going to interview Pete Tong at the International Music Summit and also finds interesting archives (Again meantion of AP)

Liz is still struggling to sleep befre heading off to International Music Summit and disapears (Taken by Orumax?) before finding herself in Berlin at the Love Parade (taken there or at least tlaks to the The Brotherhood of The Green Chrysanthemum) before heading to Ghent and the latest message from The Brotherhood of The Green Chrysanthemum is that that Liz is back in Ibiza but not safe ( Orumax still have her)

Somehow it seem we need to give her the login in details for Orumax site so she can find help ( taken from The Brotherhood of The Green Chrysanthemum last message) Not sure how we are to contact her.

I've emailed a copy to James Haddow in case the points of interests are histrocial places as these seem to be what Orumax want to remove. Yet I'm in 2 minds about James. Likely he is Liz friend and somene we can trust. However the 2 competeing side seem to be free spirits v authoritarian. Think matrix Neo v Agent Smith or the comic book the invisables. James does not like dancing and looks like he is dressed like his mother so possible he could be on Orumax side but doubt it at the moment.

Also on the interesting archives (click archive on the Society for the Protection of Ancient Ibiza website http://www.sociedadibiza.com/) It mentions in 1934 Schulten found something which said secure/protect/celebrate the 12. Any ideas what the 12 is? Wellie suggested 12 symbols whih is a good as shout as any right now.

There is also message from thegirliswithusnowSPLATfindingelisabeth.com
to Waitress#2 on page 3 of this thread which says "You may be one of the nine." I first thought they would be 9 puzzles and each winner one of the 9 but there is not enough prizes for that. So any ideas on this?

Update

Was going to log into thewhiteisland homepage and normaly skip the video but they have a new one up

Its now of the owner of Cafe Mambo who says that Cafe mambo was establish by his family in 1994 and when they were doing refurbishment one day found a book which has maps, signs and symbols in it

The book says on it esmera 1938 and has one of the symbols we have seen so far on it. Babelfish tells me Esmera means it brightens in spanish.

Looked at Cafe Mambo webpage but nothing on that about it.

Good news for me is that I'm off to Ibiza on the 7th of Sept for a week so looks like I have even more reason to go to Cafe Mambo than normal. If anyone else is going to be ibiza at the same time me know.

Nice catch! The book actually says "Esmeralda" on it and that is the name he says in the video. There is also a new box on the 360 that looks like it should be clickable but it doesn't seem to be working yet.

I also found these sites for Cafe Mambo so far:
