welcome aboard ellocia,

the blog page has actually changed its title again - was originally just called '.' and then 'WE R ALL TRAPPED'

it may be that the blog owner manymanymanyforms (MMMF) has been changing the title to give us hints on the solve, altho as the blog is open to all of us with the password there's also the possibility of others leaving messages, but in this case i suspect this is a new message from MMMF. must have only changed yesterday as i didn't see this new title before i saw yr message.

i think that the translation to 'wrong wheel' can also be read as 'mistake', but if anyone has a better grasp of chinese they can confirm this?? Smile

Native Chinese speaker here Wink

Basically the first 2 words 错误 can mean mistake/wrong
And the last word 轮 translated literally means wheel.

So u guys got that right there Smile

cheers victor Smile

does the phrase 'wrong wheel' or 'mistake wheel' have any meaning to chinese speakers beyond the literal english translation?

Nope, not really.

The best i can think of is probably something along the lines of "wheels of..."? "Wheels of misfortune"?

thanks for the speedy reply Smile

my only idea so far is that it is hinting towards a ROT - 'wheel' being rota in latin. i have tried anumber of ROTs on chains of letters from the blog but not found anything useful. i was working on the assumption that 'wrong wheel' means do a ROT on letters where there are mistakes or where the formatting is wrong, or different from the rest.

i suspect that MMMF is now even more sure that he is dealing with inferior people lol

Once again, maybe not useful, but notice that it's in military time.

There's a new post on Manymanymanyforms blog:

SOCIAL MEDIUMS
WITH EACH GENTLE STEP I COME NEARER

FBWMT
Posted by RichS

When you click on the F, it takes you to Lucky Lonely's facebook group about the flash drive.

The new title of the blow is now EAT ETA : 2, as well.

I emailed mmmf about what DCR stands for, and what dead city radio was and he replied:

Quote:

DCR could stand for Dead City Radio.
Or it could stand for Deus Carcer Revoco.
Also, Destruction's Carnate Rejuvinated.

The first, you'll be dead before you ever have a chance to experience it.
The second, you'll never accomplish.
The third, well let's hope you never meet the third in a dark alley.

DCR means a many number of things. All important.

Hmm. I think deus carcer revoco means god prison recovered, but that's just according to the online latin translator Razz

EDIT: Didn't want to post right after myself. I think EAT is some sort of weapon, and the estimated time of arrival is 2. 2 what, who knows.

morning all,

i'll post what i have received first and then try to get some thoughts down later about the flood of info we are receiving now!

i mailed MMMF after receiving the photo from him and asked him why lisa was so important to him. in reply he sent me a message with nothing other than the following links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA
http://www.meat.org/

http://www.seventeen.com/
http://jn.physiology.org/
http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/fugitives/fugitives.htm

the gap between two and three is as he sent it just in case it has any relevance. not sure if the seventeen link is a ref to lisa's age or whether he is pointing towards the vampire material - i guess MMMF as a form of vampire would make sense, what with the terrible teeth theme. this might also suggest that our countdown to EAT means exactly that...

SOCIAL MEDIUMS

so the new blog page gives us this title and then FBWMT

we already know that the F = facebook (link is working)
presumably the other letters also suggest a page or site for us to find, all connected to a social medium type site

B = blogger/blogspot/bebo?
W = wiki..?
M = myspace?
T = twitter?

a search on myspace for the MMMF gmail address and yahoo address gave nothing (although carbonblack@gmail does give us a Myspace account for Mark, 22, Colorado Springs, Denver, last accessed April 2008 - which I think confirms that that addy is OOG? Smile ) will keep looking and also see if the original 'man and beast' page gives us clues to social medium accounts,

thejoker,

yr translation makes sense in context with what we have so far - it appears that a 'god' or at least some being of serious power has been held captive within a flash drive and has now been released. we can probably assume that MMMF is also the DCR you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alleyway.
