Is this "the secret"?
(lovingly coined the 'omphaputer' by Weezel)

  • Revealed by Eli Hunt on March 11th by email
  • Located at: http://164.109.150.213
  • The site is multi-lingual
  • The longer the page is viewed, the more dots appear to fly in and land at various places (populated areas?) on earth's continents, forming a transparent rotating world.
  • The look of the earth after some time seems similar to the satellite image of the earth at night (lights showing populated areas).
  • Occasionally, red or green dots can be seen on the map.


The Command Line

FYI: This command line prompt emulates a common unix or linux command shell.
The following commands have been determined to be valid, in some form.
Standard commands
AGONOTHETAI 
Please authenticate agonothetai.
ID required: agonocode and biostat
AUTHENTICATE 
Please enter agonothetai codes and biometrics.
BONJOUR 
Bonjour. Vous avez été authentifié en tant que 000.000.000.001
Veuillez authentifier l'angonothetai.
CD (folder)
("CD .." to move up a level)
Change the current directory
CLEAR
Clears screen of previously entered commands
CLOCK
Displays a clock counter in 24hr format, local time
CLOSE
Removes the command line and returns to the globe, but does not clear the session history (same as EXIT and QUIT)
CODEX 
Currently transmitting omphalos navigation sites...
Green = active navigation site.
Red = pending navigation site.
Enter active navigation site for codex location.
EXIT
Removes the command line and returns to the globe, but does not clear the session history (same as CLOSE and QUIT)
FIND
FINDTHELOSTRING
Asks for authentication
HALLO 
Hallo. Sie wurden als u. 000,000,000,001 authentifiziert.
Bitte authentifizieren die agonothetai.
HELLO 
Hello.  You have been authenticated as u. 000,000,000,001.
Please verify agonathetai.
HISTORY
Shows the user a list of commands they've previously entered for that session.
HOLA 
Le han authenticado como 000.000.000.001
Authentique por favor el agonothetai.
LS
List the contents of the current directory.
MAN (keyword)
(see below)
With no keyword, asks you what page of the manual you would like to view.
MKDIR (keyword)
With no keyword, says "directory ...," with keyword usually says "KEYWORD: File exists."
MV (source target)
MV alone returns "source target;" providing a source and target (e.g., MV FILE1 FILE2) returns "rename FILE1 to FILE2: No such file or directory"
OPEN (filename)
(eg "OPEN 1896.INF") displays the contents of the file
PWD
Print Working Directory. Will show you path of folder you are currently in.
RM
Asks for target file
QUIT
Removes the command line and returns to the globe, but does not clear the session history (same as CLOSE and EXIT)
RUN
Asks for target (most things like RUN <ANYTHING> return "Target <ANYTHING> was not found" -- one exception is RUN GLOBE, which just returns the prompt)
SLEEP n
(n is any number)
Put the interface to sleep for n seconds (escape cancels sleep)
TERMS

The Manual

  • MAN (keyword)
No information available at this time.

Omphalos commands

  • red and green dots are occasionally seen flying in to land at points on the globe.
  • The locations have some significance.
    Red dots are inactive omphaloi
    Green dots are apparently locations of omphaloi that have been activated.
    Green dots turn yellow after an artifact is recovered.
  • Unidentified red/green dot locations (very rough approximations):

The Omphaloi have been determined to give vectos to the locations of special artifacts (see Artifacts for contents of each location)

Omphalos procedure

1. (SITE) a red dot flies into the rotating world map

2. (PLAYERS) somehow we identify the location (city or place) of that dot

3. (PLAYERS) that placename is entered into the command prompt (e.g. DONGYING)
- (SITE) if the location has a red dot, the system returns Pending artifact confirmation
- (SITE) if the location has a green dot, the system returns a confirmation and an omphalos-code direction (e.g. Navigate 3969 Hera 8 degrees.)

4. (PLAYERS) we use the omphalos-code direction to identify another location (city or place)

5. (PLAYERS) that second placename is combined with the first and entered at the command prompt (e.g. STEPHENVILLE/AUSTIN)
- (SITE) the system returns Artifact location identified. and three lines that specify the location of the artifact

6. (PLAYERS) we recover the artifact, we get a code, which, when input to the command line unlocks a PDF of the chapter of Codex of the Lost Ring

7. (SITE) the system makes a second artifact location available, as in step 3
- (PLAYERS) rinse and repeat from step 4

8. (SITE) the dot changes to yellow, presumably when both artifacts are recovered

Omphalos 1 - Stephenville, Newfoundland

  • rangerd discovered the first location, for the green dot: Stephenville, Newfoundland.
  • Command: STEPHENVILLE 
Omphalos 1 identified.
Navigate 20478 Scorpio 24 degrees.
This leads to #1A, and this vector labeled as "RECOVERED"
  • Command: STEPHENVILLE vector updated to read: 
Navigate 20478 Taurus 0.
This leads to #1B
Artifact 1A
  • Approx. 3890km (20478 stadia) from Stephenville, NL is Cardiff. Ariock determined the format for entering the result
  • Command: STEPHENVILLE/CARDIFF 
Artifact location identified.
City Hall
Entrance Hall
Bureau
Affixed underside top drawer
Artifact 1B
  • paulpark03 identified Austin, TX as another location approx. 3890km (20478 stadia) from Stephenville, NL
  • Command: STEPHENVILLE/AUSTIN 
Artifact location identified.
History Center
Reading Room "Life of Sam Houston"
Reference Shelf 4th Row 2nd Shelf From Top

Omphalos 2 - ?

Omphalos 3 - Dongying, China

  • sapagoo identified Dongying, China as a location, now known as Omphalos #3.
  • Command: DONGYING 
Omphalos 3 identified.
Navigate 3969 Hera 8 degrees.
This lead to #3A
Artifact 3A
  • Approx. 754km (3969 stada) from Dongying is Shanghai
  • Command: DONGYING/SHANGHAI 
Cottons Bar
Patio Stone Lion
Octagon Empty Rock

Omphalos pending - Lunglei, India

  • [M] discovered a red location: Lunglei, India.
  • Command: LUNGLEI 
Pending artifact confirmation

Omphalos pending - Boise, USA

  • Canna discovered a red location: Boise, USA.
  • Command: BOISE 
Pending artifact confirmation

Artifact document commands

  • Entering a valid code gives the response 
Key confirmed. Transfer initiated.
  • The first part of the retrival command is esperanto "PRUVODEREHAVIGO" - proof of (having/reception/etc)
  • As per the code found on the Cardiff artifact, entering
PRUVODEREHAVIGO AI7P/I5DB/J2L4/N2IR/I80T - gives the link to Artifact document 1A
PRUVODEREHAVIGO JR01/SPL7/AG2I/JR28/1FB7 - gives the link to Artifact document 1B
