[edit] Chapter 18: Lost Rings and Found Answers...

(May 29 - June 1)

So many exciting things have happened:

Eli revealed in his 6th podcast the secret about The Lost Rings. It seems that "The Lost Rings" is a sculpture of the Olympic Rings ordered by a unknown client in 1920 before the Antwerp Olympic Games. The only evidence that this sculpture existed is an old workorder and some legends among art dealers and collectors. The cuplture is composed of five interlocked rings, which could easily be detached from each other. Some rumours are also stating that there was a sixth ring and therefore the sculpture is also sometimes called "Sixth Ring". Nobody knows where the sculpture is nowadays.

Team San Francisco sucessfully captured and interrogated James. James could be convinced to run a personal labyrinth. During this session he had a vision about him and woman he had fallen in love with four years ago. James started to tell his and Theo's story:
Four years ago James met Toria, a member of the 2004 Agonethetai team and fall in love with her. Renata and Kentaro were also members of that team. Eli helped them, but Kentaro went "nuts" and vanished. Because only one of them could leave, Renata was choosen to go back and tell the story. But instead of Renata Toria wanted to go back and James heart was broken. Renata was also very disappointed.
Some month later Renata contacted James. She has found Kentaro, Both were members of Theo. So James decided to join, too. Theo believes that if one world succeeds, another world will fail. Therefore Theo wants to sacrifice this world, so that the other worlds will be spared.

James showed a map with 27 Theo headquarter locations. These cities are places where we can build city labyrinths to complete the Earth-omphalos, that is needed to send the six home.

Ariadne and Eli are still working on solving the whole mystery.

James gave us also the pruvo code for the Lausanne artifact

Summary of the Codex of the lost ring (Ch.25):

The 1920 team did not share all information within the codex. Some important information will be hidden in the Lost Rings, e.g. the instruction where the last labyrinth should be made, how many circuits has to be constructed, where the six has to stand and how firmly the ringof six has to be tied. They will leave something behind containing this inforamtion - that is The Promise.

[edit] Chapter 19: I am Alex...

(June 2 - June 15)

Ariadne remembers here real name: Alex. She had a dream where her Mother called her. So at least not all of her worlds have been destroyed. Nevertheless Ariadne thinks that only those worlds survived where she had not left. Which on the other side means that there will be no world where she can return to, because either they are destroyed or there is already an Alex living.

Monica reports that the four postcards she found some time before have been stolen. This all seems like somehow connected to a the mysterious Couberteam - another fraction that popped up. [But, it seems like this part of the story is not relevant anymore]

James sends an email revealing that he has contacted us as Theo. He explains Theo's motivation and the story of Kentaro and Toria. He further explains that he has to recruit 27 new Theo members to get promoted within the Theo ranks. This is important, because that is the only way to get new information from Theo. Those 27 new members have to complete Theo missions #1 (uninitiation) and #2 (taking Theo's oath). Helping James is a new mission for Thumos and Chariton. A seond email clarifies Theo's goals once more.

Larissa wants to join Theo (at least pretending so) to get a chance to meet Renata again. But she needs a good cover story.

Ariadne wonders if we are able to win gold in the multiverse olympic games. But she wonders how fast we have to be. How fast are the other worlds? New mission for Sophrosune and Sofia to figure out how fast we have to get.

Designing City Labyrinths made progress and the first designs got approved by Eli. We should share our labyrinths and videos on seero.com. Furthermore Eli explains details about city labyrinths here and here.

A possible solution for the riddle from the last chapter of the Codex has been worked out. We perhaps know how to find the sixth ring. If all five rings are assembled there is a path through the olympic symbol. Is this the sixth ring? Is there the final message hidden?

The last two chapters of the codex were found in Bengaluru and Rio de Janeiro.

Summary of the Codex of the lost ring (Ch.26 - Ch.27):

The Search for the things the former six left behind has to begin in Antwerp 1920.
Remember: There is not a sixth ring. Though you must find it.

They can not tell us where exactly The Sixth Ring can be found. The rest seems like a final riddle:
When the words become coordinated, the worlds become coordinated.
Eight points of connection create eight short curves, out of which only five belong.
As the rings themselves, you must take one out of every continent, and make a new ring.
But not a perfect circle.
You must recreate instead the form which you see by the Omphalos.
The flattened spheroid.
Only worry about the untouched interiors.
When you find your way through the five rings, you will see ...
How the branching and collapsing of the universes are first --------------
to above not and then to below yes, and then
to below not and then to above yes, and then
to above not and then to below yes, and finally are
to below yes and then to above yes.
... there were always six rings.

[edit] Chapter 20: Raising Omphstrength...

(June 16 - June 19)

Our first two city labyrinths have been completed: San Francisco and Manila. The omphstrength command on the omphaputer showed our new succes. A third city labyrinth was sucessfully completed by Team Munich.

Besides the omphstrength command a new omphaputer command became active: TRAINING. It shows the actual labyrinth records of the other worlds:

TRAINING/NUMA: Numa | 3 Circuit: 14.12 | 7 Circuit: 1:38
TRAINING/KENORLAND: Kenorland | 3 Circuit: 15.8 | 7 Circuit: 1:43.25
TRAINING/GAEA: Gaea | 3 Circuit: 13.59 | 7 Circuit: 2:30
TRAINING/GONDWANA: Gondwana | 3 Circuit: 15.5 | 7 Circuit: 1:35
TRAINING/PANGEA: Pangea | 3 Circuit: 13.41 | 7 Circuit: 1:29
TRAINING/PANGEA/ULTIMA: Pangea Ultima | 3 Circuit: 16.52 | 7 Circuit: 1:50

So our world (Gaea) is good but not the best. We need more training.

Markus took Theo's oath. It seems like he found a partner and tries to help James to get promoted.

James/Theo emailed a new mission to the Theo mission teams: Third Mission: Stay Blind: People have to write "stay blind" on a piece of cloth and blindfold public statues.

[edit] Chapter 21: Do not trust...

(June 20 - June 25)

Event though Ariadne wanted to stay away from labyrinths she did again a personal labyrinth. She had the feeling that one of them is a pretender. So she aligned with a parallel Alex who was on her mission in Munich. And with her was a "true" Thumos, named Mauritz. He was tall, pale, thin, and he had dark hair – and he definitely WASN’T Markus. Ariadne believes that Markus is just pretending to be our Thumos and that we can't trust Markus.

Markus immediately reacts saying that he just woke up with amnesia like the others, that he can't remember anything else and that we have to belive him. But only a few hours later he posted a video with his desychronisation task. But it seems like he is not just doing the Theo tasks to help James getting promoted, but because he really thinks, Theo is right. He does not tell who his partner is.

Larissa's desynchronisation task has also been published. Besides helping James she has also a personal reason to join Theo: meeting Renata again. And her mission is sucessful. At least she got a message from Renata.

James send an email that he sucessfully found 27 new Theo members and reported his promotion. He also included a list with 18 new knot cities. Markus is exicited, because James could now call the voice message system of Theo. What messages does Theo share there?

We are constantly increasing the omphstrength: Bangkok, Wellington, and Melbourne have city labyrinths!

[edit] Chapter 22: Mystery Message, Voice Message and Kentaro...

(June 26 - July 4)

Ariadne and Eli received a mysterious message. Seems like there is a new ally. The unknown person signed the message with "-E." and he wrote that he met several years ago someone like Ariadne in Los Angeles. "E." states that he is an olympic athlete, has a degree in Physics, knows how to win gold and that he wants to help us to win the Multiverse Games. Who is the unknown athlete? Ariadne suggested to contact him via this address: ftwmcdSPLATgmail.com

People who contacted "E." received soon a reply from somone with the nick "400 Runner". Could it be that E. is Edwin Moses?

James got access to the Theo voice message system. He found a voice message about the "La Sesa Ringo". Unfortunately he deleted the message and... the message was in Dutch. So he wanted us to find out the content of the message, come up with a decoy message and put this back on the voice message system.
The message contained omphalos directions to the city where the First Lost Ring is waiting for the ring transporter to be picked up: Wellington. Another code based on a labyrinth on the city map revealed the Pop Up Gallery as the ring location. Finally a riddle lead to the password (=SPHINX) for the ring keeper to get the ring. Parallel to translating and decoding a fake message was put on the message system.
Finally, Team Wellington successfully picked up the First Lost Ring. The Ring contained an inscription, but the information seems not so important up to now.

Soon after the first ring was found, James emailed a second voice message. This time the language was Armenian, which naturally took some time to get translated. The Lost Ring Number Two was situated somewhere in Tokyo and the ring keeper password has been identified as CLEOPATRA. But the location in Tokyo has not been identified, yet.

Larissa encountered Kentaro. Kentaro said that Markus has been with The Opposition all along. Because Markus didn't remembered fast enough Theo forced him to do all those labyrinth runs in Dubai. And it seems like Markus really is with Theo. He posted on his blog that we should try to stop the raising of the omphstrength.

No new city labyrinths have been finished in the meantime.

[edit] Chapter 23: For the win...

(July 7 - July 14)

Our mysterious ally revealed his identity. It is really Edwin Moses who wants to help our multiversal olympic teams. He writes that there will be one team from each continent participating in the Muliversal Olympics. Only the best city from each continent will participate. 11 players are needed for the 3-circuit and 16 players for the 7-circuit labyrinth. Each team should send him the city name, the training records and the names of the players.

Congratulations to Team Tokyo. They successfully recovered the Lost Ring Number Two. It was found in the Gallery Saka.

Congratulations also to Team Wellington. They run new world-records for the 7-circuit and the 3-circuit labyrinth.
Also Team Shanghai reported a new world record for the 3-circuit labyrinth in a time of 10.25. Unfortunatley this record was not valid due to some irregularities.

James emailed a third voice message. The language was Hindu. From the translation we decoded the following information: Lost Ring Number Three is somewhere in Manchester and the password is THERMANTIA. Additionally we knew that the entrance of the labyrinth was at the [EliHunt/Email/20080714-1|"Night and Day Cafe"]], but it was not clear where to look for the gallery. James finally suggested these three galleries: The Art Sugery, Natural Eye, and Richard Goodall Gallery.

but James also forwarded a message from Theo. Theo detected some irregularities with the Lost Rings.

Many new city labyrinths has been run in the meantime. Toronto, Vienna and London as well as Kyoto, Paris, Austin, Dallas, Madrid, and La Plata.

[edit] Chapter 24: Complications...

(July 15 - July 21)

Ariadne wants us to get ready for August 23/24 and Edwin Moses, our new Lost Sport Coach gives some additional hints how to win gold.

Due to all the new information about Markus, Ariadne wonders who are our family, friends, enemies, teammates?. She wants us to share our ideas with Monica. Monica finally posted several of the speculations sent to her.

Team Manchester found the third lost ring in the Richard Goodall Gallery. Unfortunately they encounterd some complications. The person who found the ring location, was for some reasons nor allowed to pick up the ring. The ring keeper mistrusted him. James and Eli immediately reacted to the incident James Mail #1, James Mail #2 and Eli Mail.

The next day the ring has been successfully picked up. Nevertheless, it seems like Theo knows something and is getting more cautious. James forwarded a Theo message: From now on each ring transporter has to be identified before getting the ring by sending a video to Theo for verification.

James emailed a fourth voice message. The language was Russian. From the translation we decoded the following information: Lost Ring Number Four is somewhere in Buenos Aires and the password is PENATHLON. Additionally we finally knew that the ring is at the Esperanto Society, a headquarter of Theo.

So the ring is not in plain sight anymore. How should we get it? Just walking in and saying the password won't work. Diego suggested a plan: Contact the Esperanto Society for some language courses, than find the rinf, steal it and run! Helping Diego is a new mission for Sophrosune and Thumos.

New city labyrinths has been run in Salvador, Laval and Garden City. But even though the omphstrength is already very high, the network is still incomplete. We need some city knots in the north. Finding allies in Alaska and Scandinavia is a new mission for Dikaiosune, Chariton and Sofia.

Omphstrength Status:

[edit] Chapter 25: Two final ring missions...

(July 22 - July 31)

Even though Ring number four is not in our hands, James emailed a fifth voice message. The language was English, so no difficulties with translating the message. But for getting Lost Ring Number Five the Ring Keeper has to be contacted via email and the email address is encoded. We finally managed to decode the address to TheOP79843SPLATgmail.com. 79843 is the zip code of Marfa, Texas.

Ring Keeper #5 has been contacted sucessfully. He said that the Ring Transporter has to come to Marfa. He also sent detailled instructions regarding the dead drop:
The ring transporter has to be dressed like a street musician.
The ring master will contact him via a tip in the hat.

So we finally have two difficult missions to get the last two rings.

Team Buenos Aires managed to get into the Esperanto Society. They found the ring hidden in a toilet room. So they steal it and run away. Now we have ring number four.

Team Marfa dressed up like street musicians and finally the Ring Master put some money in the hat. On the money was athe following message: PARKING LOT/974 FLV. They found the ring in a box in the back of an SUV. Great, we have all five rings.

Other great news: Gaea holds the new worlds records!.

Markus decided to travel to Bejing.

And we almost finished the Earth-Omphalos. New city labyrinths has been run in Cambridge and Duncan as well as in Martinsborough and Buenos Aires.

[edit] Chapter 26: Athletic synchronization optimized...

(August 1 - August 6)

(screenshot adjusted for visibility)

Researchers found out new amazing things about the Antikythera Mechanism, a kind of ancient computer. Ariadne asked us to make a guest podcast for Eli. LeHall made a fantastic podcast (link)

Ariadne posted an important message from Eli. It is of course possible to build mulitversal olympic teams with less people. So it is not required to have 11 team members for a 3-circuit or 16 team members for a 7-circuit labyrinth run.

Soon the olympic games in Beijing will start. We have to take the Agonthetai oath during the opening ceremony on August 8th.

Again the times for running the Lost Sports have been improved.

And finally:
After the Boulder, Kitchener, Tokyo and Bergen Labyrinths we completed the omph knot with labyrinths in Los Angeles, Montreal, Ingolstadt and Nuremberg. So actually we have a omphstrength of 315.74 and 30 city labyrinths - 3 more than needed and athletic synchronization is optimized.

[edit] Chapter 27: Let the games begin...

(August 8 - August 13)

August 8 was the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing. The allies posted ther oath: Monica's oath, Mei Hui's oath, Diego's oath, Noriko's oath, Larissa's oath and Ariadne's oath.

We had a big ring reunification party and many people met in a chatroom to [Ariadne/080810-id1798 discuss the last message] of the sixth ring. There are still aome open topics:
The "5 and 1" dilemma
The "40 stadia from the opening ceremonies" challenge
The "11 by design" labyrinth
The "sum of sports" question
The "flare" plan
The "monumental wave" decision

Eli Hunt is especially interested in the 5+1 question and sends some emails here and here. He now things that the Gaea traveller might travel different than the others.

The Gaea olympic teams are announced: Team London, Team Tokyo, Team San Francisco, Team Wellington and Team Salvador.

Noriko met Kentaro and Ariadne is not really sure if she will leave or should stay.

[edit] Chapter 28: Delphi vs. Beijing...

(August 14 - August 19)

Eli Hunt is sure that one has to travel from Delphi and that this person is Ariadne. But Ariande does not want to be the ONE to go to Delphi. She wants to be in Beijing.
Finally they decided that Ariadne will go to Beijing but will not leave this world. Instead of her Eli will go to Delphi and travel. Eli posted his final podcast: The Story of the Lost Rings.

Markus finally took his oath and all the allies are ready to leave for Beijing: Diego, Noriko, Lucie 1, Lucie 2, Monica, Larissa and Mei Hui.

Lucie met Markus in Heathrow and on the plane.

Finally everyone arrives in Beijing - besides Ariadne. Therefore more friends of Kai are in Beijing. They managed to train Ariadnes dance for the first time.
James checked out the labyrinth location and met Markus outside of the hotel.

...( Read the detailed list of events )

[edit] Chapter 29: Strange Ceremony...

(August 14 - August 19)

Last but least Ariadne arrived in Beijing. In the meantime some of the allies did a Beijing omphalabyrinth.

Edwin Moses posted a Welcome to the Multiverse Olympiad video. Additionally he posts six [[Ariadne/080821-id1837|messages to the six Gaea teams. Soon later he and the allies officially introduce the championship teams.

Monica, Larissa and Diego discuss how to help Renata, and realize that the fake de-synchronization ritual created by the Couberteam to fool TheO could help Renata gain TheO's trust, so they call Markus over to join in.
Mei Hui comes back to the hotel and catches Markus, Monica, James, Larissa and Diego performing the a MeiHui/080821-id1831 strange ceremony (but Mei Hui doesn't know it's fake). So she was really worried.
Diego sent an email stating that they are not Theo but will soon need our help.
Monica and Diego finally told Larissa and James that Mei Hui spotted them, and that they need to explain to her what's going on. Diego, Larissa, Monica and James explain to Mei Hui that the document and ritual were created by the Couberteam, and they need a new plan to help Renata gain TheO's trust.

Diego send out the new plan: He wants us to set up another hidden Bacon code pointing to Mei Hui's secretly filmed video of the desync labyrinth.
So LaSekto send an email to Thermantia pointing to Olympicsecrets.googlepages.com. A message was hidden there:

IT SEEMS OUR ENEMIES IN BEIIING ARE NOT AS HOME FREE AS THEY THOUGHT
YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN THIS UIDEO WWWDOTTINYURLDOTCOMSLASHDESYNCH

Mei Hui received an email from Thermantia. Seems like Theo is believing.

 :<br>
-::''March 3, 2008
+:Eli revealed in his 6th podcast the secret about [[Podcast/The_Lost_Rings|The Lost Rings]]. It seems that "The Lost Rings" is a sculpture of the Olympic Rings ordered by a unknown client in 1920 before the Antwerp Olympic Games. The only evidence that this sculpture existed is an old workorder and some legends among art dealers and collectors. The cuplture is composed of five interlocked rings, which could easily be detached from each other. Some rumours are also stating that there was a sixth ring and therefore the sculpture is also sometimes called "Sixth Ring". Nobody knows where the sculpture is nowadays.
-::''Find her...
 :<br>
-::''March 4, 2008??
+:Team San Francisco sucessfully [[James_interrogated|captured and interrogated James]]. James could be convinced to run a personal labyrinth. During this session he had a vision about him and woman he had fallen in love with four years ago. James started to tell his and Theo's story:
-::''Find the others...
+:Four years ago James met [[Toria]], a member of the 2004 Agonethetai team and fall in love with her. Renata and [[Kentaro]] were also members of that team. Eli helped them, but Kentaro went "nuts" and vanished. Because only one of them could leave, Renata was choosen to go back and tell the story. But instead of Renata Toria wanted to go back and James heart was broken. Renata was also very disappointed.
+:Some month later Renata contacted James. She has found Kentaro, Both were members of Theo. So James decided to join, too. Theo believes that if one world succeeds, another world will fail.  Therefore Theo wants to sacrifice this world, so that the other worlds will be spared.
 :<br>
-::''March 5, 2008??
+:James showed a map with 27 Theo headquarter locations. These cities are places where we can build city labyrinths to complete the [[Earth-omphalos]], that is needed to send the six home.

+:The 1920 team did not share all information within the codex. Some important information will be hidden in the Lost Rings, e.g. the instruction where the last labyrinth should be made, how many circuits has to be constructed, where the six has to stand and how firmly the ringof six has to be tied. They will leave something behind containing this inforamtion - that is [[Codex-Chapter25|The Promise]].

-:[[Findthelostring.com]] goes live on the 3rd of March, to reveal the blog of a woman named [[Ariadne]]. Through a series of posts, she explains her unusal situation.
+:Ariadne [[Ariadne/080603-id1646|remembers here real name: Alex]]. She had a dream where her Mother called her. So at least not all of her worlds have been destroyed. Nevertheless Ariadne thinks that only those worlds survived where she had not left. Which on the other side means that there will be no world where she can return to, because either they are destroyed or there is already an Alex living.
 :<br>
-:On the 12th February, Ariadne awakes finding herself in the centre of a corn maze ([[labyrinth]]) near Johannesburg, South Africa. She's wearing [[Ariadne/080303-0651a|blindfold-like goggles and stretchy workout clothes]]. On her arm is a tattoo which reads "[[trovu la ringon perditan]]", [[Esperanto]] for "find the lost ring". Discovered alone in the maze with no memory, she's taken to a hospital where she spends a week under watchful eyes. The doctors' analysis shows there's nothing wrong with her, other than having an [[Functional Focal Retrograde Amnesia|extremely rare amnesia]], and a body in excellent Olympic-caliber condition.
+:Monica reports that the four postcards she found some time before [[Monica/080602-id1644|have been stolen]]. This all seems like somehow connected to a the mysterious [[Couberteam]] - another fraction that popped up. [''But, it seems like this part of the story is not relevant anymore'']
 :<br>
-:While in the hospital, [[Ariadne]] meets [[Kai]], a San Francisco based "technology whiz kid" on an adventure holiday. Fascinated with her story, he takes her under his wing. Before leaving Johannesburg, he sets her up with a month's rent and a laptop computer. He also sets up [[Findthelostring.com|her blog and website]], and suggests more features will be added.
+:James sends [[James/Email/0602|an email]] revealing that he has contacted us as Theo. He explains Theo's motivation and the story of Kentaro and Toria. He further explains that he has to recruit 27 new Theo members to get promoted within the Theo ranks. This is important, because that is the only way to get new information from Theo. Those 27 new members have to complete Theo missions [[Theo_Mission_Teams#First_Mission:_Uninitiation|#1 (uninitiation)]] and [[Theo_Mission_Teams#Second_Mission:_Theo.27s_Oath|#2 (taking Theo's oath)]]. [[Thumos#James.27_Promotion|Helping James]] is a new mission for Thumos and Chariton. A seond email [[Theo/Chat/20080613-1|clarifies Theo's goals once more]].
 :<br>
-:Since being found, the same [[Ariadne/080303-0359a|recurring dreams]] plague her each night. In the first dream, she relives the moment she awoke in the labyrinth, but the second is something new. She finds herself surrounded by five other pairs of blindfold goggles, and picks them up one by one. By the time she has all six pairs she is finally calm again. She thinks this may be a message, maybe from her subconscious memory.
+:[[Larissa/Chat/20080610-1|Larissa wants to join Theo]] (at least pretending so) to get a chance to meet Renata again. But she needs a good cover story.
-<br>
-:Finally she shares [[Ariadne/080303-0704a|a video blog]], summing up the other entries. There have been absolutely no leads as to her identity or history, friends or family. She asks whether anyone recognises her, and if they have any ideas to let her know.

-: Scouring the internet, from youtube to social networking sites for non-English speakers, we found others who were also seeking help figuring out who they are and why they woke up with tattoos they do not understand. We find the homepages of [[Markus]], [[Diego]], [[MeiHui]], [[Lucie]], and [[Noriko]].  They've all awoken in labyrinths of different sizes or styles.  We help them get in contact with each other, but the language barrier proves difficult.
 :<br>
-:We dig deeper into the circumstances of their awakenings, and find out more details about the attire each wore when they woke up - various kinds of blindfolds, athletic clothing, shoes.  They're having [[Meihui/Chat/20080303-3|dreams]], of [[Diego/Chat/20080303-3|curves]], lines, patterns.  Ariadne discovers she is quite adept at learning T'ai Chi - surprisingly so; mastering over a hundred poses in less than a week. Doing a little research reveals that her skill can be attributed to 'kinesthetic memory' - muscle memory (she doesn't remember anything, but her body remembers what it's good at).
+:Ariadne wonders if we are able to [[Ariadne/080611-id1665|win gold in the multiverse olympic games]]. But she wonders how fast we have to be. How fast are the other worlds? New mission for Sophrosune and Sofia to [[Sofia#Runs_in_other_worlds|figure out how fast we have to get]].
 :<br>
-: Someone named [[Larissa]] leaves a message on Ariadne's blog, saying she knew a person four years ago, [[Renata]], who was also an amnesiac on a strange mission.  Renata went missing, and now all Larissa has of Renata's is [[Larissa/080306-id1099|a necklace]].
+:Designing City Labyrinths made progress and the first designs got approved by Eli. We should [[Ariadne/080610-id1663|share our labyrinths and videos]] on seero.com. Furthermore Eli explains details about city labyrinths [[EliHunt/Chat/20080614-1|here]] and [[EliHunt/Chat/20080614-2|here]].
+:<br>
+:A possible solution for the riddle from the last chapter of the Codex has been worked out. [[Ariadne/080615-id1686|We perhaps know how to find the sixth ring]]. If all five rings are assembled there is a path through the olympic symbol. Is this the sixth ring? Is there the final message hidden?
+:<br>
+:The last two chapters of the codex were found in Bengaluru and Rio de Janeiro.
+<blockquote>
+:'''Summary of the Codex of the lost ring''' (Ch.26 - Ch.27):

+:[[Codex-Chapter26|The Search]] for the things the former six left behind has to begin in Antwerp 1920.
+::''Remember: There is not a sixth ring. Though you must find it.''
+::<br>
+:They can not tell us where exactly [[Codex-Chapter26|The Sixth Ring]] can be found. The rest seems like a final riddle:
+::''When the words become coordinated, the worlds become coordinated.
+::''Eight points of connection create eight short curves, out of which only five belong.
+::''As the rings themselves, you must take one out of every continent, and make a new ring.
+::''But not a perfect circle.

Perhaps the [[Podcast/The_Lost_Sport_of_Olympia|The Lost Sport of Olympia]] have something to do with the Lost Ring...

The omphstrength command on the omphaputer showed our new succes. A [[Markus/080619-id1701|third city labyrinth]] was sucessfully completed by Team [[Earth-omphalos#Munich.2C_Germany_-_DONE|Munich]].
 :<br>
-:The [http://www.thelostgames.com/ Lost Games site] turns out to be full of intriguing ancient trivia. But what's even more intriguing is the [http://www.thelostgames.com/faq.html FAQ] with historian [[Eli Hunt]], especially the last item:
+:Besides the omphstrength command a new omphaputer command became active: [[OmphaputerCommands#Others|TRAINING]]. It shows the actual labyrinth records of the other worlds:

-:Having convinced Eli to share his research with Ariadne, he comes to acknowledge that there is a growing community of people who are fervently dedicated to helping Ariadne.  After completing his lecture in Cardiff and releasing his third podcast about "[[Podcast/The Omphalos Code|The Omphalos Code]]", he releases a ''hidden'' podcast, a confession entitled "[[Podcast/The Secret Artifact|The Secret Artifact]]". In it, he describes a small bronze statue he discovered in his research - but shares for the first time that it wasn't ''just'' a statue.
+:Event though Ariadne wanted to stay away from labyrinths she did again a personal labyrinth. She had the feeling that one of them is a pretender. So she aligned with a parallel Alex who was on her mission in Munich. And with her was a "true" Thumos, named [[Mauritz]]. He was tall, pale, thin, and he had dark hair – and he definitely WASN’T Markus. Ariadne believes that Markus is just pretending to be our Thumos and that [[Ariadne/080620-id1702|we can't trust Markus]].
 :<br>
-:Inside was a [[Podcast/The_Secret_Artifact#Slide_details|piece of paper]] on which was written a message, in English.  He kept this paper to himself.  ''"When the time comes, there will be no more time..."'' it started.  ''"As you wait for the six, "'' it later said, ''"you can build a [[Glossary#House_of_Salomon|House of Salomon]]."''  This is what Eli has been doing with his years of research.  He sent an email to those he'd conversed with including a link to the "[[omphaputer]]" - a secret website located at [http://164.109.150.213 164.109.150.213].
+:[[Markus/080620-id1703|Markus immediately reacts]] saying that he just woke up with amnesia like the others, that he can't remember anything else and that we have to belive him. But only a few hours later he posted a video with his [[Markus/080620-id1707|desychronisation task]]. But it seems like he is not just doing the Theo tasks to help James getting promoted, but because he really thinks, Theo is right. He does not tell who his partner is.
 :<br>
-:The secret website is analyzed to pieces.  It contains a rotating globe of dots of varying shades from blue to white.  A prompt appears if a key is pressed, and soon a [[OmphaputerCommands|list of possible commands]] is made.  The command "Agonothetai" indicates that a code needs to be entered with a biostat to 'authenticate'.  Using information Monica [[Diego/080310-id1132|shared about her uncle's]] findings, the number 696 was found to be important - this year being the 696th 4-year olympiad period since the first Greek olympics.  Using the attributes the six saw in their visions with the suffix "696" indicates that a biostat is still required - the ring finger length and the resting heart rate.  After asking the six for these stats, each were authenticated and became 'active'.
+:[[Larissa#Miss.C3.A3o_.2F.2F_Mission|Larissa's desynchronisation task]] has also been published. Besides helping James she has also a personal reason to join Theo: meeting Renata again. And her mission is sucessful. At least she got a [[Larissa/080624-id1714|message from Renata]].
 :<br>
-:Monica's story [[Monica/Chat/20080309-1|about her uncle' grandfather]], and the [[Jorge's Postcard|postcard left behind]] for her appears to Larissa very similar to what she knows of [[Renata]], having also written on the backs of postcards with numbers and words.  [[Larissa/080312-id1139|She shares]] her feeling that Renata may be, or may have been, attempting to retrieve a "codex" of the lost ring.
+:James send an email that he sucessfully found 27 new Theo members and [[Theo/Email/20080624-1|reported his promotion]]. He also included a list with 18 new knot cities. [[Markus/080625-id1716|Markus is exicited]], because James could now call the voice message system of Theo. What messages does Theo share there?

-:The colored dots on the omphaputer are omphalos locations. The first omphalos location that has been discovered was STEPHENVILLE in Newfoundland. Typing STEPHENVILLE into the omphaputer led to the navigation instruction ''20478 Scorpio 24 degrees.'' - an ancient way of navigating descriped in Eli's third podcast. Finally this led to [[artifact#Cardiff|CARDIFF]]'s city hall. Ariadne herself went there to [[Ariadne/080314-id1145|pickup the first chapter]] of the [[Codex of the lost ring]]. Each omphalos location leads to two [[artifact]] locations
+:Ariadne and Eli received a [[Ariadne/080626-id1718|mysterious message]]. Seems like there is a new ally. The unknown person signed the message with "-E." and he wrote that he met several years ago someone like Ariadne in Los Angeles. "E." states that he is an olympic athlete, has a degree in Physics, knows how to win gold and that he wants to help us to win the Multiverse Games. Who is the unknown athlete? Ariadne suggested to contact him via this address: ftwmcdSPLATgmail.com
 :<br>
-:This Codex was written by [[Jorge]]'s group in the beginning of the 20th century and the chapters have been hidden all over the world - 27 chapters in total. It is some kind of manual explaining what the mission of the six allies is about. Soon new omphalos and artifact locations have been identified, leading to more chapters, which could be also downloaded from the omphaputer.
+:People who contacted "E." received soon a reply from somone with the nick [[EdwinMoses/Email/20080626-1|"400 Runner"]]. Could it be that E. is Edwin Moses?
 :<br>
-:Eli Hunt gives some clues about the [[The_secret/origin|origin of the secret site]]. Years ago he found the book ''The Wisdom of the Ancients and New Atlantis'' by Sir Francis Bacon in the National Library of Athens. Handwritten notes about "waveforms" led to the IP of the secret site (Omphaputer).
+:James got access to the Theo voice message system. He found a [[Theo/Email/20080626-1|voice message]] about the "La Sesa Ringo". Unfortunately he deleted the message and... the message was in Dutch. So he wanted us to find out the content of the message, come up with a decoy message and put this back on the voice message system.
+:The message contained omphalos directions to the city where the [[Lost_Rings#Ring_number_one|First Lost Ring]] is waiting for the ring transporter to be picked up: Wellington. Another code based on a labyrinth on the city map revealed the Pop Up Gallery as the ring location. Finally a riddle lead to the password (=SPHINX) for the ring keeper to get the ring. Parallel to translating and decoding a fake message was put on the message system.
+:Finally, Team Wellington successfully picked up the First Lost Ring. The Ring contained an inscription, but the information seems not so important up to now.
 :<br>
-<blockquote>
+:Soon after the first ring was found, James [[Theo/Email/20080630-1|emailed a second voice message]]. This time the language was Armenian, which naturally took some time to get translated. The [[Lost_Rings#Ring_number_two|Lost Ring Number Two]] was situated somewhere in Tokyo and the ring keeper password has been identified as CLEOPATRA. But the location in Tokyo has not been identified, yet.
-:'''Summary of the Codex of the lost ring''' (Ch.1 - Ch.4):
 :<br>
-:Jorge's six have hidden the codex to help following groups of ''Agonothetai'' to fulfill their mission (see [[Codex-Intro]]). The six amnesiacs seem to be the actual group of ''Agonethetai''.
+:Larissa [[Larissa/080630-id1720|encountered Kentaro]]. Kentaro said that Markus has been with The Opposition all along. Because Markus didn't remembered fast enough Theo forced him to do all those labyrinth runs in Dubai. And it seems like Markus really is with Theo. He posted on his blog that we should try to [[Markus/080702-id1726|stop the raising of the omphstrength]].
 :<br>
-:The [[Codex-Chapter1|Six Ancient Strengths]] of the agnoethethai are described. [[Codex-Chapter2|The 6 Travellers]] explain how they arrived in this world similar to Ariadne and the others, how they finally met and that they discovered their mission: "Initiate your world with the lost traditions of the labyrinth and athletic synchronization, and restore a network of omphaloi" to save the worlds.
+:No new city labyrinths have been finished in the meantime.
+<blockquote>
+:'''Omphstrength Status (no changes):'''
 :<br>
-:They soon found out, that the ancient Agonethetai did not exist anymore and that the ancient Olympics were also lost in our world. Nevertheless they were optimistic, because they found so many existing labyrinths here. Even though athletic synchronisation seems crucial for saving the worlds, they did fail in constructing new Agonethetai, but helped in setting up the modern Olympic Games. Finally our Amnesiacs have now the mission to establish new Agonethetai, who are capable of building labyrinths and training the lost sport. These new Agonethetai will be "Ring Leaders" and it seems that the Amnesiacs are [[Codex-Chapter3|The Secret Ringmaster]]

-:A new mysterious command for the omphaputer has been discovered: Typing [[The_secret/graph|"RUN GRAPH"]] will bring up a graph with ''Schroedingers Equation'' at the top. What is the meaning of this graph? There is a drop in the lines 1815 - what happened at this time? The graph changes from time to time, especially around the year 2008. What does it mean?
+:Our mysterious ally [[EdwinMoses/Email/20080707-1|revealed his identity]]. It is really Edwin Moses who wants to help our multiversal olympic teams. He writes that there will be one team from each continent participating in the Muliversal Olympics. Only the best city from each continent will participate. 11 players are needed for the 3-circuit and 16 players for the 7-circuit labyrinth. Each team should send him the city name, the training records and the names of the players.
+:<br>
+:Congratulations to Team Tokyo. They successfully [[Lost_Rings#Ring_number_two|recovered the Lost Ring Number Two]]. It was found in the Gallery Saka.
+:<br>
+:Congratulations also to Team Wellington. They [[Ariadne/080707-id1733|run new world-records]] for the 7-circuit and the 3-circuit labyrinth.
+:Also [[MeiHui/080713-id1743|Team Shanghai reported a new world record]] for the 3-circuit labyrinth in a time of 10.25. Unfortunatley [[MeiHui/080714-id1745|this record was not valid]] due to some irregularities.
 :<br>
-:Because of the ancient strengths described in the Codex and the six attributes of the agonethetai from Eli's podcast, Ariadne came up with the idea to set up some kind of [[Personality Test]], to find out what [[Ancient Strength]] each one has and what kind of agonethetai each one is. Unfortunately in the codex are only 11 groups of 3 questions, which would not fit to 6 strengths. But Eli helped out by sending an [[EliHunt/Chat/20080319-1|email]] with another image of Bacon's book, including handwritten notes of the missing questions. Finally Kai built an online version of the test, which can be found on each blog of the Amnesiacs.
+:James emailed a [[Theo/Email/20080710-1|third voice message]]. The language was Hindu. From the translation we decoded the following information: [[Lost_Rings#Ring_number_three|Lost Ring Number Three]] is somewhere in Manchester and the password is THERMANTIA. Additionally we knew that the entrance of the labyrinth was at the [EliHunt/Email/20080714-1|"Night and Day Cafe"]], but it was not clear where to look for the gallery. James finally [[James/Email/20080714-1|suggested these three galleries]]: The Art Sugery, Natural Eye, and Richard Goodall Gallery.

-:Someone broke into Ariadne's room, stole the Cardiff artifact and left a [[Ariadne/080324-id1238|warning note on a postcard]]:
+:Ariadne wants us to [[Ariadne/080715-id1748|get ready for August 23/24]] and [[Ariadne/080717-id1754|Edwin Moses, our new Lost Sport Coach]] gives some additional [[EdwinMoses/Email/20080716-1|hints how to win gold]].
 :<br>
-:Who is [[Theo]]? How is he involved in the story? Is he the bad guy? - And, it seems that he is not alone.
+:Due to all the [[Markus/080720-id1759|new information about Markus]], Ariadne wonders who are our [[Ariadne/080716-id1751|family, friends, enemies, teammates?]]. She wants us to share our ideas with Monica. Monica finally posted several of the [[Monica/080721-id1767|speculations]] sent to her.
 :<br>
-:Finally one of our group went to Brussels. He did not find the artifact but somebody left a message. This person wanted to contact Ariadne, but never did so. What happened to him and the artifact? Does Theo have something to do with it? Fortunately, the message contained the recovery code, so that at least [[Ariadne/080325-id1251|the chapter could be downloaded]] from the omphaputer.
+:Team Manchester found the third lost ring in the Richard Goodall Gallery. Unfortunately they encounterd some complications. The person who found the ring location, was for some reasons nor allowed to pick up the ring. The ring keeper mistrusted him. James and Eli immediately reacted to the incident [[Theo/Email/20080715-1|James Mail #1]], [[Theo/Email/20080715-2|James Mail #2]] and [[EliHunt/Email/20080715-1|Eli Mail]].
 :<br>
-:To get more information about Jorge and the agonethetai from the past, Monica tried to get into her aunt's house. Everybody hoped that she would find more clues in her uncle's papers. She convinced her suspicious aunt and finally made it into the house. She didn't find anything interesting - mainly because she had no idea what she should be looking for.
+:The next day the ring has been successfully picked up. Nevertheless, it seems like Theo knows something and is getting more cautious. James forwarded a Theo message: From now on [[James/Email/20080717-1|each ring transporter has to be identified]] before getting the ring by sending a video to Theo for verification.
 :<br>
-:Besides the Brussels artifact three new Codex chapters have been found in Vancouver, Tokyo and Johannesburg.
+:James emailed a [[James/Email/20080718-1|fourth voice message]]. The language was Russian. From the translation we decoded the following information: [[Lost_Rings#Ring_number_four|Lost Ring Number Four]] is somewhere in Buenos Aires and the password is PENATHLON. Additionally we finally knew that the ring is at the [[EliHunt/Email/20080720-2|Esperanto Society]], a headquarter of Theo.
 :<br>
-<blockquote>
+:So the ring is not in plain sight anymore. How should we get it? Just walking in and saying the password won't work. Diego suggested a [[Diego/Email/20080721-1|plan]]: Contact the Esperanto Society for some language courses, than find the rinf, steal it and run! [[Thumos#Help_Diego|Helping Diego]] is a new mission for Sophrosune and Thumos.
-:'''Summary of the Codex of the lost ring''' (Ch.6 - Ch.8):
 :<br>
-:Now there is an answer to the question why the labyrinth is called "human labyrinth". We now know [[Codex-Chapter6|How to create the walls]]. The walls are formed with athlete's bodies. Because normally there are not so many athletes available as needed for the complete labyrinth, the wall has to move with the runner. There are several rules for the wall, e.g. the wall should hum to help the runner but is not allowed to touch or direct the runner.
+:New city labyrinths has been run in [[Ariadne/080721-id1762|Salvador, Laval and Garden City]]. But even though the omphstrength is already very high, the network is still incomplete. We need some [[Ariadne/080721-id1764|city knots in the north]]. [[Sofia#Go_North|Finding allies in Alaska and Scandinavia]] is a new mission for Dikaiosune, Chariton and Sofia.
+<blockquote>
+:'''Omphstrength Status:'''
 :<br>
-:Additional rules for the runner [[Codex-Chapter7|While running in the labyrinth]] are provided. For example, the runner has to start in the centre, has to run blindfolded with arms folded across the chest. There are some reasons for disqualifying the runner. The Sophrosune are responsible for the identification and announcement of disqualifiers and the Thumos train athletes and are best runners themselves.
+:OMPH STRENGHT 201.4
+:Network Incomplete
+:Knots complete: 18
+:Knots remaining: 9
 :<br>
-:And finally some reason for performing the lost sport is revealed. There is a connection between [[Codex-Chapter8|Doors and Parallel Paths]]. If all athletes across the many worlds perform the run in perfect synchronicity doors between the worlds will open up allowing communication and movement between the worlds. So we have to deal with many worlds not just the earth. We have to save the world'''s'''.

-:At the same time the amnesiacs are uniting, [[Ariadne/080330-id1298|Eli left Cardiff]] to pursue a research lead in South America. What, exactly, has Mr. Hunt gone off to investigate?
+:Ring Keeper #5 has been contacted sucessfully. He said that [[RingKeeper5/Email/20080724-1|the Ring Transporter has to come to Marfa]]. He also sent [[RingKeeper5/Email/20080725-1|detailled instructions regarding the dead drop]]:

She was standing in a stadium in Paris and saw a stone with the inscription "17794 Hestia 4 degrees, " which according to the Omphalos code leads more or less to Jerusalem. Diego has in the meantime started [[Diego/080402-id1319|Trip to brasil]] to investigate earthquakes in this region. He also started to walk labyrinths.

-:'''Summary of the Codex of the lost ring''' (Ch.9 - Ch.12):
 :<br>
-:In 480BC the lost sport was forbidden, most labyrinths were destroyed and the agonethetai were abolished. But a secret society of former agonethetai continued. To avoid being found they started to change the walls [[Codex-Chapter9|From stone to human]] so the labyrinths could be built everywhere without leaving a trace after the run.
+:Other great news: Gaea holds the [[Ariadne/080722-id1763|new worlds records]]!.
 :<br>
-:Synchronizing a labyrinth precisely at one place across several worlds is problematic. Especially because [[Codex-Chapter10|Parallel Geography]] is not that easy. A specific location on our world could be on a totally different location on another world, even in the ocean or at some other unconvienient place. To achieve maximum linking, one world normally runs labyrinths at six different locations, so that each of them is linking at least to one other world.
+:[[Markus/Email/20080731-1|Markus decided to travel to Bejing]].
+:<br>
+:And we almost finished the Earth-Omphalos. New city labyrinths has been run in [[Ariadne/080721-id1764|Cambridge and Duncan]] as well as in [[Ariadne/080721-id1772|Martinsborough and Buenos Aires]].
+<blockquote>

-:There are [[Codex-Chapter11|Many Worlds]]. Each time a decision is made reality split up into two branches. There will be one world with the one decision (e.g. yes) and one world with the opposite decision (e.g. no). There are mainly two factors why parallel worlds differ from each other. The first factor is the ''human history'', based on the decision each human makes. The second factor is the ''geological history'', based on the "decisions" of the earth and different movements of the earth' crust. Therefore some parallel worlds have a totally different continent structure than our world.

 :<br>
-:Markus went back to the Cardiff City Hall, where the first chapter of the codex was found. He investigated the place and found a painting with the title ''Hercules and Omphale''.

-:Pan-cosmologists wondered why there are only six types of worlds. They observed, that the major group are Pangaea wolds, and the smallest number of worlds have a Gaea or Neopangaea form. But then they noticed that the number of Neopangaea world was significantly rising wheras all others, except Pangaea, have been reduced. But then in 1726 they proposed the theory of Rapid Continental Change (RCC). They think that RCC is a natural way to synchronize the geographical history and to reduce the number of parallel exisiting worlds. And [[Codex-Chapter13|The Danger of Neo-Pangaea]] is that reality tends to rearrange worlds by RCC into the state of Neopangaea.
+:OMPH STRENGHT 315.74
+:Network Complete
-:That is necessary because there is [[Codex-Chapter14|The limit of many worlds]], a maximum number on how many worlds reality can support simultaneously. There is a theory that if this upper limit is reached all worlds will collapse back into one world. This effect of "restarting the multiverse" is called "Elastic reaction" (ER). To avoid this, reality continously reunites similar worlds. But because of the free will in human history our decisions lead to a rapidly increasing of the total number of worlds. RCC is a method reality uses to avoid ER and the chance of RCCs is much higher if the number of worlds reach the upper limit.

+:[[Markus/080815-id1803|Markus finally took his oath]] and all the allies are ready to leave for Beijing: [[Diego/080815-id1804|Diego]], [[Noriko/080815-id1806|Noriko]], [[Lucie/080816-id1807|Lucie 1]], [[Lucie/080817-id1811|Lucie 2]], [[Monica/080816-id1809|Monica]], [[Larissa/080816-id1810|Larissa]] and [[MeiHui/080817-id1813|Mei Hui]].
 :<br>
-:Even though many people follow a routine, being each day on almost the same place at the same time, their body posture is a little bit different than that of the their parallel selves. On the other side it is possible to perfectly move your body like an olympic athlete and align with your parallel selves. In such a moment two things would happen. First, splitted worlds could be reunited and second, the memories, thoughts and ideas will jump from one you to the other you. So [[Codex-Chapter16|Athletic Alignment]] will expand personal experience and will help to reduce the number of worlds.
+:[[Lucie/080817-id1814|Lucie met Markus in Heathrow]] and [[Lucie/080818-id1816|on the plane]].
 :<br>
-:Constructing exactly similar buildings across the many worlds is almost impossible because the small pieces the building is build of will probably be not exactly the same. It is much easier to use a self-regulating system inside a human-beeing. There is a great chance that if you search worldwide a runner is found, who can achieve perfect alignment. After the big catastrophe in 1815 the Multiworld Athletic Committee worked hard to set up the [[Codex-Chapter17|Multversal Olympics]]. Our world was not part of the Multiversal Olympic when Jorge's group arrived. Nevertheless they are very optimistic that our modern Olympic Games could be used by the other worlds for sychronization, even though our world is not aware of the importance of the games.
+:Finally [[Kai#Everyone_Arrives.21|everyone arrives in Beijing]] - besides Ariadne. Therefore more [[Kai#More_allies_in_Beijing.21|friends of Kai are in Beijing]]. They managed to train [[Kai#Our_first_training_for_Ariadne.27s_Dance.21|Ariadnes dance]] for the first time.
-:<br>
+:[[James_Mutters#Checking_out_the_labyrinth_location|James checked out the labyrinth location]] and [[James_Mutters#Meeting_Markus.21|met Markus outside of the hotel]].
-:The agonethetai of the other worlds recite [[Codex-Chapter18|The Oath]]:
-::''All of the parallel worlds are equally real.
-::''But one is the original world, the world from which history was born, the world from which is the source of all assembled knowledge.
-::''The original world is the true unique omphaloi, the navel of reality itself.
-::''There the Oracle of Delphi first acquired vision.
-::''There the Oracle of Delphi brought about the first who saw the many, the first who saw the six, the first who witnessed the bloodshed.
-::''We will protect the one true omphaloi against the change, by means of the glory of our sport, and the honor of our teams.
-::''We convene in the spirit of unity. We rescued the one to save the many.
-::''As one circle of athletes we celebrate the world, for the celebration of all the worlds.

-:Lucie also arrived in Middle East. She is now in [[Lucie/080417-id1443|Isreal and organized a labyrinth run in Jerusalem]].
+:Monica, Larissa and Diego [[Monica/080821-id1835|discuss how to help Renata]], and realize that the fake de-synchronization ritual created by the Couberteam to fool TheO could help Renata gain TheO's trust, so they call Markus over to join in.
-:<br>
+:Mei Hui comes back to the hotel and catches Markus, Monica, James, Larissa and Diego performing the a [[MeiHui/080821-id1831]] strange ceremony (but Mei Hui doesn't know it's fake). So she was really [[MeiHui/Email/20080821-1|worried]].
-:Knowing of "Athletic Alignment" Ariaden performed her own "Personal Labyrinth". And she had a [[Ariadne/080417-id1448|strange vision]]: A [[TLR-Trailer04|parallel Ariadne and a parallel Eli working together]] on the secret of the Lost Ring. In this vision the parallel Ariadne uses a new command on the Omphaputer: "MAKE OMPH KNOT". Running this command on the omphaputer will make the dots whirl around and finally lead to a white screen with the message: "omph knot creation completed". What is happening? What exactly is an omph knot? All this is still mysterious.
+:Diego sent an email stating that [[Diego/Email/20080821-1|they are not Theo]] but will soon need our help.
-:<br>
+:Monica and Diego finally told Larissa and James that Mei Hui spotted them, and that they need to explain to her what's going on. Diego, Larissa, Monica and James [[Larissa/080821-id1836|explain to Mei Hui that the document and ritual were created by the Couberteam]], and they need a new plan to help Renata gain TheO's trust.
-:Two new chapters has been found in Paris and Berlin.
 :<br>
+:Diego send out the [[Diego/Email/20080821-2|new plan]]: He wants us to set up another hidden Bacon code pointing to Mei Hui's secretly filmed video of the desync labyrinth.
+:So LaSekto send an [[LaSekto/Email/20080822-2|email to Thermantia]] pointing to [[Olympicsecrets.googlepages.com]]. A message was hidden there:
 <blockquote>
-:'''Summary of the Codex of the lost ring''' (Ch.19 - Ch.20):
+::IT SEEMS OUR ENEMIES IN BEIIING ARE NOT AS HOME FREE AS THEY THOUGHT
+::YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN THIS UIDEO WWWDOTTINYURLDOTCOMSLASHDESYNCH
+</blockquote>
 :<br>
-:On some of the many worlds are [[Codex-Chapter19|Parallel Selves]] of you. There is a rite that allows you to synchronize with them. This rite is called "Personal Labyrinth". Even though personal labyrinths could not save the worlds they help to prepare the many worlds for a bigger synchronization event. Therefore, many people in the many worlds walk their personal labyrinth in the twelve weeks before the Multiversal Olympics. These are the rules:
+:Mei Hui received [[MeiHui/080822-id1840|an email from Thermantia]]. Seems like Theo is believing.
-:*Choose a non-human labyrinth (stone, plants, clew, ...)
-:*Sign in your name, your location and the place and date of your personal labyrinth in the labyrinth register. (We do not know where or what this could be!)
-:*Identify your world-creating moment - a life-changing personal decision which you made during the last four years.
-:*Prepare a scroll with the drawing of a diagramm that includes the decicision you have faced on the top and arrows to the possible decisions you have taken here and in parallel worlds.
-:*Carry this scroll during your labyrinth walk from the outside in and than outwards again.
-:*If you have visions, write them down and share them with your family and friends.
-<br>
-:The Ancient Greek already knew of the many worlds. They have set up sacred stones - ompholoi - in many temples. Most people today believe they have been used for communicating with gods. But a few know the [[Codex-Chapter20|Secrets of the Omphaloi]]: They were used for the communication with the many worlds. The most important ompholoi were at the site of Delphi. Delphi is build upon two faults forming a knot of geological instablitiy. Long time ago a RCC happened and the epicentrum was directly beneath Delphi. The oracle of Delphi was the reason the Greek know of RCC - they had visions of the many worlds. And finally, this was the reason the Greek set up their own synchronization event: The Ancient Olympic Games.
