 		Well, I get Hide Killer from Keir de Hill. Not to sure about that one being it, though. :/

And so modest too, lol.

Got a long one from Eve, and she got us a message from te barely conscious Tylean! It's not much but hopefully it'll help us figure some stuff out?

Quote:
Sorry for not replying for a while. It has been difficult to move the 5 patients when I've only got my little car to use (Eve took her 4x4). First I had to get my car! (Let us just say that I miss my life as an IT Admin). I called in sick at work, and I think they're buying it for now. I would have thought that Eve would have told Keir de Hill about us the first chance she got, but they actually believe me when I tell them I'm sick... Could we be wrong about Keir?


Anyway, I'm just getting a little bit paranoid I think. I guess I'm not the only one. One of your friends wrote to me saying that the TEDO is everywhere in my reality. He said that the computer company TEDO may also be related, the terrorist group TEDO may be the same. But maybe we're just getting a little ahead of ourselves. I mean its only an acronym right? If not I'd have to start suspecting our armed forces in Evandale (Tripodal Evandale Defense Organisation), our governing political party (Tenacious Egalitarian Democratic Order), our main bank (Treasury and Economic Delegation Organisation). So I just laughed it off. I mean these organisations have been around for decades! I'm surprised you don't have them in your reality.


Enough of that. Now, I should tell you, I spoke to the one you call Tylean. They're all still very drowsy, I think Blue was right, that they need the white stones or something. From what we found out about the injection they had, it should have worn off by now. They look...blank...empty somehow.


Anyway, the one you call Tylean said something, he said: "Tell them they need to find the numbers" He said something about your TEDO's numbers being different to my TEDO's numbers.

He didn't make sense after that, just mumbling some letters and numbers. I don't know if it is relevant but I thought you should know.


And also one from OP, I've regained his trust slightly because I'm not trying to stop him but I am trying to get him to hook up with ThatEve and avoid ThisEve for now.

Quote:
The clue I found in the destroyed TEDO's lair said nothing about the volcanic eruption. It spoke of a field that here is and there is not. An emptiness that here is and there is filled. It spoke of the time of the TEDO, the prophecy, the Maker that helped them overcome in the other reality. It spoke of the weakness of the TEDO in this reality. It spoke of the Tylean and the Abie, and their betrayal of the TEDO. It spoke of the rift being formed by the victorious TEDO who are now preparing to cross to our world and take over like they had in theirs.

I will not let this happen! My family must be safe!


Also he updated his blog slightly, saying he found the lair.

Maybe the strange logo symbols are number substitutions? I'm not sure what numbers Eve was talking about and I don't recall much about numbers in relation to TEDO. I'm trying to get more info from Tylean or Abie but they aren't in a good state, something was done to them.

Also, De Hill, I know we've never trusted him but maybe he is just arrogant and rude? Maybe he's not TEDO. Should I contact him telling him T&A's kidnapper contacted us and told us they were still ill, maybe to ask him why they would still be in that way?

 		TEDOs, TEDOs everywhere...
Maybe in a culture where those letters are very common place, the whole thought they may be related is hard to swallow. It's sort a cultural brainwashing. Of course there is the possibility they aren't related and we have here a red herring. Red Herring After all we have organizations that have similar abbriviations (until someone sues).

 		But not every major organisation including the Armed forces? That's just too much. It's very much true that TEDO have their grip around the whole dimension as that is their plan with this dimension, so we have to stop them, and soon!

 		Back to the circles, I've noticed that if you turned the symbols into numbers the largest "number" is ten. a=1 a1=2 etc. Now it becomes a numerical Venn Diagram. Still don't see any patterns yet, but maybe that's what they ment by letters and numbers...
Oh and maybe our 10 means to use 0 if either method gives a thought?

Edit: Red circle totals 22 Green circle totals 57 and blue circle totals 27. Soooo 22-57-27?

 		Hey guys, i have been following this for a while and i send a mail to OP and got this as reply, although i do not really get it all...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Yes, perhaps you will not betray me like the others...perhaps you could work for me. The others have a logo. They do no know it but it shows the way to the lair of the TEDO in the other dimension. I must know where this is. Perhaps you could ask them...They no longer tell me things...I think they have betrayed me. Speak to them find out what they know and report back to me. I can help you contact them if you do not know how...

Yes, this is my answer! I thank you for your commitment to fight the TEDO.

Hello mr. Smith,

I've been following your story on your blog the latest days,
and i have been reading and researching a bit.

Is there any way I could help you find the people who took your family?


Thanks for reading,
greetings


Anyone can help me further?

Read my post above, it's a start. Don't know specifically what he want's though... if he wants coordinates, directions, distance, or something else entirely...

Edit: My number grid I'm using 0 for 10 to keep the spacing
Code:

  65
161228
506898
  11

I should be. After all, I just had to edit the logo thread, because I confused ThisEve with ThatEve, therefore proven myself unable to use the naming convention I came up with myself! Laughing

Apropos logo thread...zephusdragon, it would be great if you can post the further thoughts about it in the thread I created. Now that it's there. Smile
But yeah, we are not flooded with puzzles and new developments at the moment.

TEDO everywhere and that doesn't make Eve suspicious, that's hilarious. Razz

little spoiler-y peek behind the curtain of the previous game regarding the origin of the name TEDO (it's totally improv...):
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This may be unknown to the new players...the very first email the PM ever sent had unintentional typos (I hope I got it right, there is a transcript of the PM chats on the old wiki, if you are ok with that, you may check it). Those spelled TEDO. From that moment on the PM decided to run with it. And now all this has resulted out of it. I am extremely curious what else would there be if not TEDO...certainly just another name, but which one?


@Blue
I killed her. Laughing Laughing
Oh boy.
(I should clarify, this is for Blue, not about Blue!)
Huh? Razz

 		Maybe I have again lost some background story facts Wink

But...
Tylean gave OPSmith this alias to contact us. Could it be that STOP HIM means we should stop OPSimth? At least that was what I was thinking when I read about the anagram.

All the more likely considering that other subjective anagram for Mr. de Hill. Wink

By the way, I have a job for you in the logo thread.

 		Well was it Tylean or Binsakne who gave him the name? Also, was it a message to him or us? We don't know yet. But we do know we need to figure out numbers. We also need to keep OP out for now, I don't want him ruining things. ThatEve is more trustworthy, and if she can get a white stone, Abie and Tylean should improve.

All i can suggest is that you either send him a reply telling him nothing except that we are working on it and try to get as much out of him as you can without seeming suspicious. Tell him you need more info to help them solve so you can bring the TEDO down or something like that, I don't know, use your imagination.

Just don't cause suspicion or he'll shut you out too. I'm trying to get back in his good books but it ain't easy. See what he knows about the logo, maybe he has something we don't.

Also, if you need any information, the story so far is on the 'Rabbit Black Links' page related to this game. Just head over to the Wiki and that has everything we know so far, or just message one of us and I'm sure we can explain, though I wouldn't reccomend asking me as it gets a bit over my head sometimes. RAD, Abraxas or Blue are the best candidates I think but you'll have to ask if they mind as I'm not their spokesman.

So TEDO are the good guys?
or is he paranoia?

 		TEDO are the bad guys, veeeery bad guys. He's paranoid as hell coz he thinks we're against him when we're just trying to stop him getting hurt or dead.

 		Just because OP Smith is crazy and wants to destroy TEDO doesn't necessarily make them the good guys. In my opinion TEDO is still probably "bad" but, at the moment, OP Smith is a bigger worry to us than TEDO because he wants to access the rift between the two dimensions in order to get to his wife.
But the rift is bad and needs to be closed (once Tylean and Abie and them come through as they should).
