So before your loading message earlier I heard a few people start talking about the runes again. I spent a while using my internet-detective skills (which are about as developed as you could expect for any profession with the prefix internet-) and couldn't find anything. Because I'm somewhat sick of waiting around for other people to find stuff in this game, I sent an email to someone who might be able to help about the second rune (the second rune was the unidentifiable one). If it IS a real rune, and not just something someone made up, then they should be able to identify it. I haven't gotten a response yet so don't get your hopes up, especially because that was just a shot-in-the-dark anyway. It seems to me like the runes are a dead end because the first one was just Rit (the Armanen equivalent of Reidh), and I don't really think any rune pairing with that could tell us anything particularly important.


one of the meanings of rit is ceremony. its possible the rit rune represents the ceremony and the other rune represents what ceremony....i cant find it anywhere either

If you stick with ARG's get used to waiting at times... The wait times between puzzles and chapters can get LENGTHY. In all honesty this one is moving along at a high rate of speed.


It isn't so much the waiting for new information I mind (especially because I do have a life and obligations outside of the game), but the parts when I know we're missing something and can't figure it out. It makes me feel useless, you know? For instance, when everyone was figuring out the music thing, I couldn't stand that. All I could do was give my own opinion on what was and was not worth pursuing, and then I was wrong anyway (which made me feel stupid). It sucks also that the part where we'd identified the John Cage song was the "false cage," where I might have been some help, I wasn't around for.

Also, sorry for the pointless whining. I won't do that anymore.

I'll explain more later maybe OOG completely and off uF, but I deal with that every day for my job. Like I said, I literally do this for a living. When a bomb goes off here and kills 50 people, when I knew something unknowingly and just wasn't around to speak up... waiting endlessly for that one person to say the right thing to put things in perspective... shit sucks. But even in real life, you're just a conduit. Not an olympian. There's always going to be things you miss. It isn't a crusade. It's a marathon pace.

 		I think it would be a good idea for everyone to get in contact with each other outside of the forums to help coordinate everything. We keep covering the same ground over and over, and on areas like the runes, we still have more ground to cover.

I'm not saying we ditch the forums. Just a thought.

I think the reason we're covering the same things over and over, at least right now, is because we kind of lack direction (not organization). We know we need to figure out what, of the things we already have, is the "key" and then we need to find the "lock." But since all we know about the key is that we already have it, we end up checking things repeatedly.

Communication outside of the forums isn't a bad idea, though.

 		For what it's worth, I don't mind being contacted. I don't know about everyone else, but if enough people are OK with it, we can probably start some sort of ad-hoc thing.

This here is why I advocate what basically amounts to thinking out loud. A little piece of information you mention at random may be the thing that helps someone else just click.

Of course, that may also be seen as cluttering up things though.

Like when I started the worthless tangent of "LOADING" in Cryillic? heh. Red Herring

That wasn't a total waste, though, as it was hilarious.

Yeah, that was the best discovery we've made in the past 12 hours.

 		THIS is what I get for not being able to access FB at work...

it's been right under our noses if we would pay attention: (and if Alexander Romanenko is indeed truthful and trustworthy)

Mr. Dubrovin, I have noticed the titles and lyrics of these songs are related to some of the messages the Junsui have been posting on their facebook group and in other areas. It's now quite obvious that the Junsui are transmitting coded messages publicly via audio and video.

I recommend inquiry as to how the Junsui have this page on Nippon Shin-Eisei's site or why Nippon Shin-Eisei would allow this site on their server.
http://junsui.shineisei.jp/
Have you been in contact with them regarding this matter?
I have seen references that in the scene with Junko by the water, she may be using cleverly disguised hand signals to transmit a message from the Junsui.

Also, some of Junko Junsui's postings on various sites have included extra characters and parts of HTML code. This should also be carefully monitored for any discernible possible leads as to how we may decipher these methods of communication they are utilizing.


we need to get on the hand signs.

 		Pooling thoughts and ideas more closely could help remove dead ends and false information before it has time to trip everyone up. The faster we sort through things and determine which mean nothing, the better. Instead of down the line, someone mentioning something and everyone jumping on it, only to realize it's nothing and just turns out to be a waste of resources.

I know there were a few people who were closer to the Junsui group... Do we know of any of these "Captains"? Or if there's any higher ranks? Perhaps the loyalty there isn't as strong as it seems? Perhaps they could try to pry some information about the keys and lock we already have in our possession? Although, it could backfire on us as the "Captain" may take the opportunity to feed us false information.

 		I say we ignore the captains for now. Their job is to spread misinformation, after all.

The hand signs have been brought up before. I recall hearing about that.

Ad_, I'm telling you, you should consider Tor so that these things don't happen. Razz That, or use SSL for facebook.

 		Buncha new FB posts.

THE FRIGHTFUL STORM HAD LASTED OVER TWO DAYS, DEVASTATING A GOOD MANY FORESTS, AND WRECKING MANY CITIES AND TOWNS IN ITS PATH. AFTER THE GREAT STORM, THE LITTLE GIRLS COULD NOT BE FOUND, THOUGH CLOSE SEARCHES HAD BEEN MADE EVERYWHERE. MANY DAYS HAD PASSED, AND STILL THEY HAD NOT BEEN FOUND. BEFORE THE GLANDELINIANS THERE WAS A FOREST. AFTER THE KHOZAINS THERE WILL ONLY BE DESERT.

PROTECT. SAVE. RESCUE. EMPOWER!

Both with some different art.
