My bad. I received this reply last night (after I went to bed)

No, that would not work. I suggest the Hymn. The real version, not the censored one we give to the newcomers.
the translation will come, do not worry

here's the song, but it's not the Hymn, as we have learned now.

O greatest Spectrum
We give our lives free!

Spectrum, give us joy
To live among glass!
madness
Spectrum, make us pure
To be like the glass!
corruption
Spectrum give us life
To give greatest life!
death
O greatest Spectrum
Take to Glass Heaven!

Italics is Ore.

Couple posts back you'll see I was given that. Has anyone else gotten that version upon their pillar completion or was I a random occurrence.

 		A summary of the latest facts
Sorry if this looks confusing, but it's a lot of stuff to put together.

- It all started last night, when we found out three os us were the Chosen. Red (prophet), Green (naruse), Blue (andrekka). For many hours the three of us worked together to solve puzzles that included a message in that crazy alphabet that said: "To the three Chosen | Keep your mouths shut! | Kuro phaji tomaet jotu!"
- From there we figured out that this weird language (Kuro phaji...) is a language indeed, named Nimpik. And we went back to the images Will posted in his blog and learned some words.
- Later on we were introduced to six other people from this board, who had managed to earn their pillars. Glass Heaven emailed us all (9 people, the First Generation of True Believers), giving us names:
prophet: Red
naruse: Green
andrekka: Blue
Jain: Kora
Lizzy Bryant: Mora (yes, the character, Will's friend)
Stuart133: Fora
Chance: Koj
100kfireflies: Romnetora
sammakhouf: Toj

- We then started exchanging emails within this group of 9, and Mora asked us to set up an IRC channel where we could talk. prophet (Red) did it.
- On the chat room we discussed about the names, and what they mean, because they are Nimpik words. We got nowhere though :p
- Later on the chat, Mora (Lizzy) came back and started acting all bitchy. In the end she left a message, asking for help and saying They are testing you. Mora used ROT12 to send that last message.
- Ore started talking to me using ROT17
- Ore sent us the link to an audio file, which someone from the board helped us transform in an image, which turned out to be the Three Pillars (red, green, blue). Using Ore's advice (wear the emblem), I went to Will's blog, copied the three pillars from there, added a white background and used this image in my email signature. And emailed GH.
- GH then replied:

Your devotion is pure.
good
Do not tell the others, but the Fourth Pillar desires to speak to you as a Chosen.
you need to learn more nimpik
Return if you are confident in your Nimpik.
i will give more messages to him to help you

- Will gets a message: http://www.glassheaven.org/images/letter4.png. The coded text reads: I TOLD YOU HE WAS DANGEROUS! KEMIO TASAJI! SHE KNEW THE PHRASE!
- As I was the Chosen one to talk to the Fourth Pillar, I then sent them a message with Kemio Tasaji!, they didn't open up, said I had 2 more tries.
- Koj messaged them with a hidden message for Ore (as it seems only he and I are the only ones who can talk to them for now and I can't waste my tries) where I asked him what the right phrase was, and he said we have to check the song.

Guess this pretty much sums up what has happened. We're now stuck with what to message them, so the Fourth Pillar talks to me.

I ask you guys to help me out here, and add other details I may have forgotten!

 		From now on let's try to post all pertinent emails and communications here so that everyone (including new players and lurkers) can follow the developments. Smile We might need these communications verbatim later on.

A few extra details.


- When Mora (Lizzy) came into the IRC channel earlier today, she said that the Crystalline Lord sang her a song, that we didn't deserve enlightenment, that she followed the lord and not the church.

- We also know (though I don't remember whose emails this was through) that the Crystalline Lord "has" Mora (Lizzy) and that "he will destroy you like he destroyed her".

actually, reading back, the "censored one" for the newcomers is that one that goes like "wish you were here blablabla"

The Hymn is indeed the song people get (like DZombar) after earning the pillars.

hmm. we have to work with that song and Kemio Tasaji! then.

 		So there is a new message from Will.

Like I said a while ago (somewhere! I think it got lost), the secret text Ore gave us in the song related to the pillars - perhaps their "true" identities.

So JOY is MADNESS (kojnetora in Nimpik), PURITY is CORRUPTION (karsa) and LIFE is DEATH (tuhi).

The rest of the message reads:

Quote:
Use this it will help you

I cannot put hints in the messages the fourth sends you

You will be on your own

Ore


So I guess that means that there won't be any secret messages from Ore in the emails from the Fourth Pillar, but perhaps he'll still help us out with the other three.

 		Red / Prophet has been very kind in setting us up a wiki to keep track of everything. This is partially due to Will's request for one on the blog, but also to help compile all information about different aspects of the game.

So far I have written 11 articles for the wiki page (which can be found here) and I have tried to cover all aspects of the "lore". I did not write everything down exhaustively, so if I have left things out, please feel free to add them in!

One thing I would say is that we should probably only include facts in the articles and NOT speculation. That way this can be a useful resource for us when trying to cross-reference clues and hints. Smile

Please continue to post breakthroughs and new emails, codes, etc, on the forum! We need somewhere to catch up with new developments!



(Also a note to Red/Prophet - the wiki isn't allowing me to upload any files at the moment. If we can get that working, we can upload the alphabet code guide that Blue/Dekka made for us, and the image-codes we received earlier on, as well as the letters to Will)

 		Trying to reach the Fourth Pillar
Ok guys, here's my second attempt at making the fourth pillar talk to me. I've also asked Ore more questions, and suggested him other ways to communicate with me now. We'll be needing you guys! Wink

My message:

Kojnetora karsa tuhi
what is romnetora then? and koj and toj, why dont they have "netora" in their names? what is kemio tasaji? what is the translation of the other three names kora mora and fora? i will contact you using the others, like koj did last night. or we could use the comment boxes in Will's blog. is Lizzy ok? thank you again.
