 		Actually, those are sheets of paper. Johnathan aka The DJ Tutor talks about using some paper as an extra layer between the turntable and the slipmat, to make it extra slippery.

He never used it before, so I guess it's a symbol there. ; )!

EDIT:
Why the White Island is awesome beyond words...



^______^!

Got it for solving puzzle 5, the one with the coords. So a thanksyou to Toasty too. : D!

Just doing my part to spread the wealth. Who does that leave that has yet to win? Geist? (How was Ibiza btw?) We're all going to have to get together after this is over and have a big DJ battle. Very Happy

So, now the puzzles pop up on a different site. Going to be too many sites to watch soon. Smile

How many symbols does that make now, 8 or 9? It would be 9 if both from DJ Tutor count, correct?

 		The new found symbol on http://www.sociedadibiza.com/found/found.html
appears also in the video of Elisabeth on Orumax-Site. Smile

Look here:

 		Yea, I guess it's just meant to be the Orumax logo. It could be another symbol, tho. : )!

Don't you think it's strange how the SPAI website has a symbol which signifies Orumax?

What do people think about the coins? I've tried reducing the brightness to look at them closer but I can't see anything useful/hidden.

 		So, the Orumax logo seems to be a symbol too.
http://whatisthewhiteisland.com/symbols/symbols.html

Only two more symbols to go!

(did they use my screenshots again? pffff! ;P!)


A few Brotherhood members have been revealed too. (:
http://whatisthewhiteisland.com/thebrotherhood/thebrotherhood.html


Also, the website of Stop Ibiza Cults has been revamped.
http://www.stopibizacults.com/index.html

The pages have been 'stamped' by the following;

This page lets us know that this 'Friend' is a friend of Elisabeth. The trinket man?

 		Nice work! So, more links to info on Bes. One image of Bes in particular stood out to me as it shares many features with Perleamo's painting.



And this might explain the snake connection:
Quote:
His name appears to be connected to a Nubian word for "cat" (besa) which literally means "protector", and indeed, his first appearances have the suggestion of a cat god[citation needed]. Egyptians kept cats in order to attack snakes, and creatures that might ruin crop stores, such as mice, and so Bes was naturally singled out as worthy of worship in Egypt.


ETA - here's a link to a better image of what the stamp depicts:

 		Oh, those stamps are hacked in by someone, according to the What Is TWI blog. (:

subject Can I Join SIC?

Hi James,

As you may know I've been following Elizabeth's disappearance for some time and working hard to try and find her. I've looked over your new Stop Ibiza Cults website and I was wondering if I could join your cause. Also is there anything else I can do to help? I still hope we can get Elizabeth back safe and prevent any others from befalling her fate. Let me know if there's anything more I can do!

-Belle


And got this back just now...

Dear Belle

I'm afraid I have no knowledge whatsoever of your previous interest in Elisabeth's disappearance.

Please forgive my brusqueness, but we are quite on guard here, given that SIC has just been hacked.

Do you have any information regarding Elisabeth at all, or this damnable creature who appears to be posing as a Phoenician god?

best
James


I've been gone all day and can't really sift through what I've missed right now. I'll try to figure out how to respond later, but any suggestions would be appreciated (not feeling so hot and therefore not thinking very clearly...)

 		Some rather disturbing news on the Perleamo website...

Check out the Updates & News page too.

Meh, I'll be off for the weekend. I hope nothing too exciting happens. ):
There will be a club event on the East shore of Ibiza this weekend, as Sarah Main said in an e-mail to the Perleamo website.

 		Update on the blog pointing to new content on Orumax's client area.

I thought they would have opened up the next puzzle by now but will probably be tomorrow......or whenever I'm offline!!! Sad


I wouldn't count on it being up that soon after the last one. The pace of this arg has been fairly slow and steady (I solved the first puzzle at the beginning of June and we only just solved puzzle 7). In any case I'm excited to see what happens next Smile


Can someone help me with puzzle #7?
ok never mind i got it. geeeez (hand in face)

 		I've been trying to figure out these damned symbols, and was looking around the net at Pioneer stuff, and found this.



I can't make all the associations, and maybe I'm crazy, but that Reverb looks an awful lot like Sarah Main's necklace. I think Roll, Filter and Flanger look like some of the symbols, too.

 		Very Happy

@therev:

Great catch about that.

Meanwhile it is confirmed on TWI Blog here, that there is a relationship with the symbols discovered so far.
