Could this be Matrix related?

All communication happens off line forts�ttningsvis
(have yet to figure out the last word)

The top part translates to Scene 3.

The closest definition I could get for forts�ttningsvis is:
continuation, sequel

But there is also a version that means "in the future".

So I think it says:
All communication happens off line in the future.

And the title of the message is

Is accomplishment for boring/tedious.

So I guess I must have been Smile

Almost correct. (very good try though, cem)
forts�ttningsvis= from now on

The topic is
"Is reality too boring?"

Don�t know the higher meaning of the post though..but it contains an adress very close where I live in Stockholm and it got me curious..

When I read "Is reality too boring" ... First thought that popped into my head Alternate reality! A new ARG??

And then "all communications happen offline from now on" and we've got an address.. anybody interested in mailing them?? is Scene 3 part of the address? Maybe villard can visit!

Figured that much. Wink

Those tools tend to give fairly funny translations. Word by word they are ok, but syntax....

Swedish (as well as the other Scandinavian languages) is very much a language of building blocks (It's no coincidence that Lego is a Danish invention). If you put a �vis behind a forts�ttning (continuance) you get a new meaning. In English it would literally mean futuraly (or something like that)

I don�t understand the scene-bit. (It could also mean "stage") But the rest is definitely an address in Stockholm.

Ehsan: I�ll check it out.

This is fun:
I went to Renstierna Street yesterday and actually found some interesting things. At the address is a video rental that also rents PO boxes (explains the strange address). Of course the girl at that a counter wasn't too eager to hand out any info on the owner of box 5011. After convincing her that the box probably is part of a game and asking her if "Scene 3" meant anything to her she actually gave me an e-mail address she had to contact the owner. (There was a phone number as well)

Since the e-mail was an org-address I figured it might have a web site to go with it. And this is what I found:
www.interactingarts.org. Even if it isn't a new game it definitely touches the ARG-world.
What do you ARG-veterans think?

According to this, InteractingArts is Nordwall's website.

Interesting site, though.

Hmm .. just speculating here.. but what if nordwal was PMing something nwe.. and we weren't really meant to find out he owns the mail box.. just send postal mail and go on from there

Had that thought too and that's why I didn't post the e-mail address I got from the video store lady.
... But then again he did posted the postal here for everybody to see and use.

I guess he wanted to be anonymous and mysterious but the thread was there�
Now when everything is out in the open maybe he can enlighten us�
..or tell us to back off..
