 		Somehow, I cannot get out of my mind the obvious, IMHO, association between the names Atlantis and Aquapolis.
Not only due to the similarities of sounds - but to what they stand for: both for some undersea place.
I BET this particualr Swiss hotel was chosen with utmost care Very Happy

Strange... there was this "British investor" when Aqaupolis was first announced (in MC news). And now Niehoffer's/Schuffhauser's number is another hotel - maybe he is a real estate magnate, like Trump? Though Wongmo is definitely not of that caliber; still strange, though Question

 		WELL THE DR. SCHUFFHAUSEN IMAGE IS A PHOTOSHOP
right away. first thing i noticed when i went to the site:

this image is a blatent photoshop

and so it was

i looked at that shirt and tie, and though. gee. thats familiar....

red shirt, silver tie. crop the image. tint the image. pop wongmo's head on top of Steven Walsh's head. And putting a fake backgound in is easy, because the steven walsh pic has a solid color backgound...

In fact. The whole website is pretty shabby. Look at the phoenix image, where one can see two red lines on each side, indicating a hasty cropping job.

The whole thing, man, you can tell that AQN is really on the run...



Oh, as I see, there is a whole thread devoted to this in General/Updates

Yeah, XTrava did a very good job of this (the pic links back to the discussion).

So, what's this then?? AQN registered a site using false information he ripped from a random Zurich hotel?


(delurking for the first time re: MetaCortechs) Not just a single random hotel, or even one in Switzerland. The phone number is used by affiliates of a global booking service, Travelnow.com, and it's listed as the European contact number for booking hotels from Houston to Paris to Honolulu to Barcelona.

So IMO I don't think the number is relevant except that this perhaps is how AQN booked his travel arrangements.

No, your right, the number is general, and not relevant. By "false information" I also meant the address and zip-code though, and probably the Hotel name. Could they in any way provide us with a clue? I mean, there was obiviously a lot of trouble involved with registering the site in this way and then showing it to us... the other sites that are in-game do not...

But I can't say I know what "clue" we are looking at Sad

 		Cool Hey I don't want to throw a spanner in the works, but if the new Wongmo picture is faked, then how do we know it really is Wongmo who has made schuffhausen.org.... after all what reason does he have for going to Metacortex's web site and nicking someone's photo and photoshopping it rather than getting a new phototaken wearing a shirt?

Well, wouldn't the reason we know it's "Wongmo" be that the site is registered by Arnold Quentin Niehoffer? (aka Wongmo, aka Dr. Leo Kane, aka Fiona Leiphe)

I think that everyone that called the number and talked to the good Dr. on the phone will agree with me that he sounds like you'd expect Wongmo to sound.

Heck, he called me "my friend".

Maybe someone should call him and tell him that we are on to him and that we will expose him. I'd do it but I can not call from work. As a character, we know about the two sites, it is something that is "public" knowledge if you do some detective work.
