I was just thinking the same thing.

The people on the YouTube say they think it is
Quote:
It's "dva" and "sedm", which means two and seven in czech


So maybe 2 is dot and 7 is dash?

 		The words, when translated to 0's and 1's, spell out a binary message...

"0100010001001101
01001011011011100110111101110111
01010100011010000111100101110011011001010110110001100110"

Which is "DM, know theyself"

This was alluded to earlier in the thread, but never made clear.

yeah. If you direct messaged epithetalpha with "knowthyself", he'd reply with "Are you a candidate? Await further instructions May 18."

however, i dont think you can do that anymore. he posted "Candidate applications full. Await review."

Wasn't 'know thyself' Apollo's creed?

Yup. It can also be attributed to at least six other Greek sages, including Socrates.

Now that looks promising!
Do we have here to do with oracle or something like this?
And who could be meant by DM?

 		good morning!
Well, this morning, there's movement going on.... I was/am a candidate, so I got this DM this morning:

Quote:
epithetalpha: THIS IS AIDONEUS. I hacked this account to help you. These people will take everything away from you. BEING A CANDIDATE MEANS THE END.



During the night, someone hacked into his account and began to send different messages, warning us of epithetalpha and simeon. You can see the feeds here:
http://twitter.com/epithetalpha


The 3rd voice (hacked epithetalpha) references Aideoneus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aidoneus).
Epithet (while hacked?) says this site "means a lot":
http://www.27project.org/


Also, Simeon is having a conversation on twitter:
http://twitter.com/simeonhobbes
Simeon mentions Aegocerus, which might be a reference to Pan (http://www.mythindex.com/greek-mythology/A/Aegocerus.html) or the Zodiac Capricorn.


Elliot Graves seems to be starting up a conversation with/about Hobbes:
http://twitter.com/elliottgraves
EDIT: and he has a blog: http://whoissimeonhobbes.wordpress.com/


I won't lie. I'm a little scared, and I have to go to work, so I thought posting this would get you guys cracking.... I'll be poking around.

EDIT: the principals are very responsive <3 expect more today. lots of editing because I just woke up and nothing was in order....

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
photo gallery on 27project.org and whois lookup point to howard and mark dauber? howard seems to be an MP?

 		In Simeon Hobbes bio: It is tedious to tell again tales already plainly told
It`s a guote by Homer, the same one who wrote Odysseia.

Thanx! (how could I miss this before?) Smile

Btw, the morse code built from Czech numbers "2" and "7" is actually the first thing I thought about as I saw 27.

I think, here will this number 27 became something mighty and cultish like 23 or 42. And I think, it's cool.

@simeonhobbes and (the departed) @epithetalpha are the only ones I think have anything to do with my brother's disappearance.
