Hey all, I'd really love to help, but it seems like things are pretty much out of our hands.

Is there anything at this point I can do to help?

EDIT/UPDATE
Maybe someone can help me with this. I did some digging in Aztec culture and came across Tezcatlipoca.

Tezcatlipoca is one of the four sons of Ometeotl, one of his brothers (and rival) is Quetzalcoatl (whom we believe is TEDO?) additionally his animal counterpart was the jaguar (Wasn't this animal/symbol used in the original rabbit black?)

He's also considered the "god of" obsidian, which in addition to being used as weapon was used by shamans to see the future.

To many parts of this are lining up, but I don't know enough at this point to make it all fit. Could that be what the obsidian orb is that OP has? Some sort of future seeing device?

Off on a real wild tangent, the four brothers, sons of Ometeotl were also known as: the Black, the White, the Blue and the Red Tezcatlipoca. (Tez is black, Quetz is white… could we have missed understood who is Quetzalcoatl and who Tezcatlipoca may be based on the color of the 'tnels?)

The jaguar only came in a lesson taught by Tylean about a Jaguar that overcame its basic instinct to kill to survive and instead chose to eat fruit.

The obsidian note is an interesting one, however, and I don't think anyone has touched upon that. It could very well be related to it, although we have nothing to really prove one way or another and no knowledge on how to "try it out."

If you're interested, you could always introduce yourself to OP Smith and mention to him your findings. He is the one with the obsidian (as well as one per'tnel at the moment). His email is opsmith2009SPLATgmail.com

Everything here is an ARG. An ARG stands for Alternate Reality Game.

Received a letter from OP Smith just now, although apparently it was sent to Carpathian first (sorry to steal your thunder!)

Quote:
OK, it took me a while, but here are the numbers that I told you about. I'll also send it to others who may be interested.
I know that Eve told one of you how to translate them, so I wont bother, but let me know if there are any problems. I tried looking at what they meant, but could not work it out.


I'm going to a bunraku show soon so I don't have much time to look at it right now. From my initial quick glance all I have to say is: Dunno but maybe closer examination when I get back will lead more results. I have a feeling if we figure out what the angry cyclops symbol and the slanted 7 mean we'll be on our way to finally kicking this thing in the butt.

Yeah, I just got it too. Don't really have time to look at it now but hopefully I can try sometime tomorrow if someone hasn't figured it out by then.

I got that email from OP too, you just beat me to it. Smile For everyone else, these are symbols OP found on the obsidian orb.

Looks like OP can't figure out what to do with the orb, here's what he had to say:
Quote:
I tried to use the obsidian stone as you suggested, but it did not seem to have the same kind of power as the other stones. I've been trying to see if I can learn to use the white stone, but it is very difficult to control.

But when you asked if there was anything strange about the obsidian stone, I looked at it closer. There seems to be something inside it, but I don't know how to break it. I even tried to break it with the power of the white stone, but even that wasn't enough. My guess is that this is no ordinary stone. Something did happen, though. When I put the power of the white stone in it, the base of it started to glow. I turned it to have a look and noticed there were some glowing symbols on it. They look a little like the symbols at the on the beacon clues; like the numbers that Eve found. I wish she were here now. I'm sure she'd have some idea of what to do.

I got a reply to my query about time travel:

Quote:
ThatEve: Wow! When I got your e-mail I went strait to Abie to see if she could help in some way. Then she said, "Time travel is for babies, it is what you do with it that requires the Masters." She then grabbed me by the hand and here I am writing an e-mail about 15 minutes after reading first one, but I see that you sent it 3 days ago! I think that Abie has just brought me FORWARD in time! Now if I can only get her to take me BACK, we may be in business! The odd thing is, if I can manage to get Abie to do this, wouldn't I have sent myself an email to tell me how to do it sooner?

Sounds like an excuse for the recent silence... albeit an imaginative one. Laughing

Does someone want to forward these numbers on to ThatEve and Abie? I'm stumped on what they are/mean.

We might have to, I haven't really had much time to look at them. I did, however, ask TEDO what's goin on with ThisEve:

Quote:
No. Eve is now dead. We are now hunting the our Eve and your Tnem'Abie. They seem to have disappeared for some reason. Our Lorsham were about to capture them but when they arrived, they had just vanished. We will find them and destroy them once and for all. The time is at hand when the three realities will unite!


We suspect that the other stone is with the one that now calls himself "OP Smith", although his real name is much more interesting.


We will find the Per'tnel and overcome all.


I assume the disappearing part was when they time-traveled. We don't know OP's real name, do we? I think all we know is that OP Smith is an anagram for "Stop Him." So I'll ask TEDO about that, though I doubt they'll just give me his real name (I'll probably have to do some Lorsham-type stuff, if I want to know Twisted Evil )

Yeah. I took a look and thought that maybe the smaller ones on the left could be added to lead to the bigger answer on the right, but then I noticed different right symbols shared the same left symbols so I threw that idea out. And now I don't have any clue.

So... has anyone noticed the new ENOUGH website?
It's kinda... odd-looking, but I think it's pointing us into the obvious direction we need to take with the map on the front page.

There's text you can't see unless you highlight it, which says:

Quote:
Is pourd to announce a new step forward for man-kind. Since the recent discovery of the Inter-Temporal Rift near the Evandale North Outer-Urban General Hospital, The Evandale District Organisation has worked tirelessly with Hospital Administrators to secure the relocation of long-term patients. All acute patients have been transferred to hospitals in England and Wales. The remaining long-term Aged-Care Psychiatry patients will be transferred to the interim fascility on Mountain Road in Ramsey, Ilse of Man. The citizens of Evandale are grateful for the generosity of the United Ramsey citizen's group for providing its chapter-house for this important cause. Construction will take place at the hospital shortly to begin its transformation into the new
Temporal Exploration and Defense Order headquarters.

The Evandale District Organisation

Laughing I'm still lovin' all the TEDO references.

Oh, I had forgotten about the website Laughing

But, I did get a response from TEDO about OP's name:

Quote:
Do you think it is that easy? Well, I am surprised. He is one who was once close to you all, yet it seems he has forgotten all. He is one who guided you, one who watched. He is one who has many names, yet none of his own. He is one of many timelines, but in all he is the same. There is but one of him, unlike the rest of us. He will remember soon. We have seen the timelines. When the realities combine, we will destroy him.


So, I'm guessing either Binsakne or Tylean (though I don't think it's Tylean, because there was/is more than one of him.)
