*Someone who can read russian please translate. Could be just a bad lead...

That's kosmopol's blog (and it's in German Wink ).


Yeah, thanx for finding it Smile
Actually, everything I've wrote in my blog, is also posted here in english.
Btw, we have in Patmo-Forum also a thread: http://forum.patmo.de/index.php?topic=249.0
If we have some news, I (or somebody else from that German forum) will drop here a message.

Apropos, mir-12 twittered to me, he hadn't any documents to translate. I fear, my only help were live communicating per phone or so. oO
I think, I'll try to avoid it, since my last ARG live event was kinda traumatising for me and ARG actors perhaps Embarassed

UPDATE: Emily anwered me at facebook:


me wrote:
The webmaster of Mir-12 wrote about Katya, sister of Natasha, and also about Vladimir Norvikov, her father. Has Natasha told you about her relatives?

Btw, look the website mir-12.com, perhaps there you can find some answers.

Best regards,

btw, "Everything's intolerable" - is it Yakovlev's citation?



Emily Dawson wrote:
Thank you Alex. I saw MIR-12's post today, and am learning more about Katya than I ever knew. Natasha never spoke of her father - it was obviously difficult subject for her. I knew he had passed away, but nothing more.

You are familiar with Alexander Yakovlev?


So Yakovlev was kinda keyword. I'll continue in that direction.

Alexander Nikolaevich Yakovlev, politician: born Korolyovo, Soviet Union 2 December 1923; Head of Radio and Television Broadcasting Propaganda Department, Central Committee 1964-65, Head of Propaganda Department 1985-91; ambassador to Canada 1973-83; Director, Academy of Sciences Institute of International Relations and the World Economy 1983-85; married (one son, one daughter); died Moscow 18 October 2005.

However although the guy was SSSR version of Goebels, he later denounced all Lenin/Stalin government as criminals

Thanx for informations.
Yes, he was indeed very controversal person. At the one hand he was responsible for sovoet propaganda, at the other hand he was in private against the soviet system. I cannot really allocate him in the story, since he was very ambivalent about his position to Ussr.
Here are also some informations about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Nikolaevich_Yakovlev

UPDATE. There is new name added to source-code: Viktor Fedoro. (I wonder, if his name really Fedoro and not Fedorov)

Just an interesting detail. This blogger (http://www.gamingtruth.com/2009/01/29/leaked-assassination-attempt-vid-is-viral/) said following:

Quote:
Not too long ago, we received a tip from "Miranda" from LeakyPress (a website that just happens to be blank) about a video that was apparently proven to be fake.


Do we know something about LeakyPress?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I hope it was OK to call her name, because of this.

Oh, Soviet patent? Interesting...

I found funny thing, but it's rather a typo: there is a text of VS Norvikov with the title "Psycho-physiological Support of Combat Activities of Military Personnel". But it's just a typo, because the name of this author is actually V.S. Novikov (without "r"). So for the case you'll find it, it's just a mistake and is fully OOG.

Emily Dawson changed her status on facebook to :

"Emily is learning about WGS84."

WGS84 is the World Geodetic System is a standard for use in cartography, geodesy, and navigation. It comprises a standard coordinate frame for the Earth, a standard spheroidal reference surface (the datum or reference ellipsoid) for raw altitude data, and a gravitational equipotential surface (the geoid) that defines the "nominal sea level".

Is this how they hide the island?

I beleive that their login process is merely a way of proving that everyone playing this game is 18+ years old and not an actual login process. Makes sense?

Not if you want to leave a comment. I mean, it would be kind of hard to track who's asking and answering questions if the names change each time.

I also do believe that comments left on that site are irrelevant. But that's just my spec.

I suppose, there is no way to log in with previous name - you cannot even type in the register/login field your previous codename.

I tried to give in my wordpress account some data about me, but next time I wanted to login, it wasn't possible.

Sorry for double posting, but!

There is an update in mir-12 Blog. A Russian document about Demichev!

Mir-12 asked me to translate it for him, so here is translation:

Quote:

Russian Federation.

Name: Nikolai Demichev
Employee Nr.: 12-X55763
Function: Leader of Laboratory
Station: K-12


Note: the work of Demichev is top secret and confidential.
4th August 1979 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Internal investigation approved the fact of amortization by Demichev of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX he was pardoned XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Mr. Demichev was promoted in reward for his hard graft.

Authorized by........

K-12
RNCSA.ru


I fear, he murdered father of Natasha...

Anybody an idea about password to the Russian site?

Any idea about this line:

Code:
script language="javascript" src="http://singularity:natasha@www.mir-12.com/wp-content/plugins/mir12/uid.php"
