 		I found the Maxwell article!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
flickr.com: Search for persons and enter "cchiling"! Note that the article/interview is written by Yves Desmarais, while a Neil Desmarais who seems to have been Sarahs boyfriend (but they broke up) has the facebook page and has accessed her twitter account! Is Yves his brother??

 		Just one page?

Did they send you just one page?
It's not even an interview but a Prologue to an interview.

Also, the writer is Yves Desmarais, someone who looks like he is linked to Neil Desmarais,the guy who made the FB group to find Sarah and who hacked her Twitter account.

 		I think that's what i'm gonna do, besides, the game IS going slowly and the in-game sites are not really changing so much...

BTW, the ORIENS primoris video has a IVIIIVII in the downward left corner and i think that it says "Sarah has been trapped" at the end

P.S. ORIENS primoris means RISING first in Latin

 		this is my first arg, so I'm not really sure what all falls under spoiler. Sorry if I put it in the wrong place:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The date on the interview is from January 12, 2004. I've been searching, but can't find anything on that date...perhaps the first printing of his book, or when Sarah graduated from thelema?

How can it be a date?

it cant be:
4/37
43/7
4/3/7 because we're not in '07

please explain


4/3 7:00...idk though just brainstorming.

And also it might be nothing but, why were there sheets over her furniture in the vid?

I found that odd also.

I also agree that 437 or IVIIIVII seems important, but perhaps we're too focused on 437.... IVIIIVII could be 4 2 4 2 (doubtful given the time), but another possibility, or I=0 V=1 binary style..any number of combinations or possibilities still.

 		01000100 (IVIIIVII) in binary to ASCII is D and 68 from binary to decimal.
I suppose she was going to move out because of the sheets on the furniture.
I still haven't PM'd Neil Desmarais on FB but I will do it now.


P.S. Question: I am kind of a n00b in ARGs so I don't know if this game is really slowly evolving or if it's normal to be slow like this?

THE EYES AND EARS OF THE MIND
1.12.04

SECRETS
revealed
THE HIDDEN WORLD OF ROBERT MAXWELL
BY YVES DESMARAIS

Recently, I was confounded rendered speechless to find that an invitation to sit down and talk was returned in the affirmative. Normally this wouldn't be much of a shock, I (and 'we,' as a collective here) interview many people and, in fact, we are frequently contacted by our interview subjects and their various forms of representation first, in efforts to promote their work or viewpoint, or to respond to topical discussions within their respective communities. This was different. This was Robert Maxwell. This was an interview subject to whom sending an invitation is generally thought of as silly and a waste of time. The man simply doesn't do interviews. Most journalists don't even bother anymore, as Maxwell frequently responds with a disturbingly obscure and untranslatable "curse" of sorts. Many don't even know what he looks like, and no known photographs exist. In fact, the prohibition of cameras and/or a photographer was a condition of the interview. Needless to say, I crafted my words very carefully when writing back to set up the arrangements and tried very hard not to sound overly incredulous in my reply. This is, after all, akin to interviewing Bigfoot.

A couple of weeks following some short and to-the-point back and forth regarding travel arrangements and meet times, I was on a plane to a location I cannot disclose (another pre-condition). I will admit that I had built up in my mind a portrait of this elusive author that only increased in its intimidating abilities as the meeting time grew closer and closer. However, I was pleased to find that the reality was far from that conjured by my imagination. In meeting Robert Maxwell, and having the exclusive opportunity to pick his brain for a few hours, I can confirm that everything one might expect in terms of intensity, charisma, and the ability to confound is

Hello,

I was wondering if you've heard from Sarah in the last few days? I've been trying to contact her, but having trouble getting in touch.

Best regards,
Eric


Response just came:

Hello,

Ms. DiMichaela did not show up for work at our offices yesterday, nor are
we able to reach her. Phone calls, emails, and even a visit to her home
have not returned any info. We are told that the local law enforcement are
now considering this a missing person case.

I would like to assure all of our clients that any accounts on which Sarah
worked have been temporarily reassigned to other staff.

In reaching out to a family friend, Neil Desmarais, we have learned that
he has set up a Facebook Group, and will post info to all as he learns
more.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=368521529339

Naturally, we are all concerned and will let you know of any developments.

Thank you for your concern and inquiry,
Paul Goldman

How long did it take to get a response after you emailed her employers?


Did you enter a subject matter?
could it be an "in order" thing?
I did it earlier today and still nothing.

 		Not wanting to be impolite Panthea Zandra, but you are telling us stuff we already know from 50 posts ago. Read the thread from the beginning so you know what not to repeat...

P.S. is this really slow for a ARG or am I just impatient, because nothing is happening...

Please accept my apologies. I do not believe I have "told" anything. I asked about a post, that I passed while reading all the posts trying to get caught up. Sorry for re activating a post that was 50 posts ago, but i am currently at that point in the game. I have not read a post that actually answers any of my questions so I feel my post is not a repeat. If you care to point me to the post you are referring to, then I will gladly refrain from posting on your forum and messing up the flow. Although I see quite a few repeats myself that have not been called out.

Thank you for your Time

 		Read through the course descriptions. Especially the ones about psychostic technology and Material Translation. Again, I might just be seeing things, but doesn't this sound a lot like the video ORIENSprimoris? If we could get a hold of Karl Weiner, the teacher of these two classes and also the host of thursday nights pottery class, i think we may be able to find our next clue.

Also, if you didn't already know, cchings photo stream has been updated.
