This time the word is that it is Officially Fake 5

A post at the DarkUFO Blog site states that Dark has spoken to the ABC Media Relations people and they have told him that it is nothing to do with them.

So the question remains who are the people running this ? Why are they still posting updates and is this even Lost related ?

To underline the second question there is another update from SimeonHobbes that has been posted on Twitter :-

"@elliottgraves / @epithetalpha / http://tinyurl.com/qgpkyg / http://tinyurl.com/ovmafz : these are the only things I fear, Jacob."

This debunked ARG is still going ! 8

Despite what Jenny Balloon has said, there are still clues being posted on the various accounts that have been used so far. As this is certainly more diverting than staring at a blank TV screen waiting for Lost to come back I'll keep posting updates when possible.

A new update on the SimeonHobbes.webs.com website has appeared. It has a Hebrew title and a new web site link to a shared text file. This file is again password protected.

Gary has posted this in the comments that a machine based trnaslation of the Hebrew is

"Following formula is hidden in white letters like 4 statues, only one of which is often useful to be aware of color over the dark"


We also have the Twitter user TheEntrusted posting these two tweets that seem related :

"Stay true to your enlightened Path along the Thread. Remember the true face of Henry Gale."

"547275737420696e204a61636f6220616e64207965207368616c6c2062652072657761726465642e2053746179207472756520746f20796f757220506174682e"

Update Gary has let us know that is is a Hexadecimal code and translates to -"Trust in Jacob and ye shall be rewarded. Stay true to your Path."

After these two updates there are several along the lines of :

"Blessed is @Shethecatsma, for she is a true follower of Jacob."

Possibly decoding the coded message and then sending a message to TheEntrusted will elicit this result ?


Update Elliott Graves has just added some more Twitter updates to say he does not know who JennyBalloon is and that several other "characters" in the events so far are unimportant, also a list of websites that are not relevant. The watch list on the Who is Simeon Hobbes ? blog is relevant according to Elliott - Epithet Alpha’s Twitter, Elliotts Twitter, Simeon Hobbes’ Twitter, WISH? YouTube

Final updates ? 14

Although the game appears to be up there have been a few more updates, possibly timed to automatically appear.
The FleurDeNoir Twitter page has changed it's look along with another (final ?) post from FleurDeNoir which is another Base64 coded message

SXQgaXMgdGltZSB0byBnbyBub3csIElhY29idXMuIE91ciBUcnVzdCBoYXMgYmVlbiBMb3N0OiAv d2F0Y2g/dj1TeGg2djI4WUJqOA==

This decodes to :

"It is time to go now, Iacobus. Our Trust has been Lost: /watch?v=Sxh6v28YBj8"


The last part is a reference to this You Tube video. The title of the video is prtcl02 which appeared a lot in some of the Twitter posts yesterday.

UPDATE The video has some Morse Code in it which according to Steff posting on LostPedia translates to :

.–. .-.. .. . … [PLIES]
.- –… ..— –… ..— –… [A72727]

The symbol on the updated twitter page appears to be one of the Swan Countdown clock symbols.


The password to the video on the www.simeonhobbes.webs.com site is AEGOCERUS, this allows you to download a video with a phonetic alphabet sequence of letters where each group is said twice.

LGJ MLU KYJ TIT GOD YVE ZZFA BQIR KJEB HIGN DOYC


Also the title to the second link on the simeonhobbes.webs.com site (UXphZnhCcU5TODg=) is actually a Mime encoded value that translates to a YouTube video entitled Simeon Hobbes : New Hope. This video has a slowed down morse code message that translates to 27.

Thanks to Ihavebeenfound for informing us that the updates are still happening.

The Wolves are Among Us 2

Many updates have appeared since the last post, there seem to be so many I'm sure that some will have been missed, so let us know in the comments or via email if there is anything else that you think is relevant.

A new web site has appeared www.simeonhobbes.webs.com (see picture above) which has the same Eye of Horus symbol that the Twitter post has. There are a couple of links on the site and some images in the background.

The title of the first link appears to be a word in Hebrew, a possible translation of which is Goat Horns

http://www.2shared.com/file/5859769/aa25bb0/27277222727.html

This takes the user to a file sharing site to download a video file, but the file is password protected.

The title of the second link is another coded string.

http://www.hotels.co.uk/13/hotels/1000000/10000/6600/6559/hcom_6559_40_b.jpg

This link is for a picture of a bar with the number 27 on the sign.

-------------------

Mrs Elizabeth Penrose (mrsmarkham, if you want) has a YouTube account with a video (v=..., in her Twitter). It shows the EdmundLoom' background image with white flashes showing numbers at the corner:

XXVII (top left)
XIII (bottom left)
I (top right)
O (bottom right; showed together with the classic Ouroboros, one of the most meaningful symbols of Hermetism and Time-as-Circle philosophies).

The complete sequence is: 27 13 1 0, or:
XXVII XIII I O

Maybe it's just coincidence, but if you count the symbols in Roman: 3 X, 1 V, 6 I = 316!

----------------------

Regarding the Blueprint on the FleurDeNoir website MadAriad has said that the reverse text inside the blueprint says "can't show the whole map the wholves are among us", "Jacob directed the ship" and "ille qui nos omnes serrabit" and "27 recruited and informed my task is almost complete" and " I think therefore I am"

More recent updates from Fleur De Noir are

aWFjb2J1cyB3aWxsIHNlZWsgdGhlIGVubGlnaHRlbmVkIG9uZXMu which is a Base 64 encryption of "iacobus will seek the enlightened ones."

dGhpcyBtYXAgd2lsbCBzaG93IHRoZW0gYW5zd2VycyBidXQgcXVlc3Rpb25zIHdpbGwgcmVtYWlu LiBtdXN0IGkgc2hvdyBpdCB0byB0aGVtLCBpYWNvYnVzPw==

"this map will show them answers but questions will remain. must i show it to them, iacobus?"


----------------------

Some more updates from TheCruxAnsata :

A new Twitter post

i TRUST hIS OMENS to HavE Been BegOtten of lieS. SEIL SEVARG TTOILLE

The first and last phrases are anagrams :

TRUST SIMEON HOBBES
ELLIOTT GRAVES LIES

Also some new Morse Code which translates to

Genesis 27:41, which reads, "By your sword you shall live, and your brother you shall serve; but when you became restive, you shall throw off his yoke from you neck". This is Isaac's blessing to Jacob's brother Esau.

Many thanks to Simone and MadAriad for a lot of this information.

Edmund Loom 3

Yet another Twitter user has started posting and seems to be of interest. This user has just started following Elliott Graves, and is posting using substitution cyphers.

For example vwvm aw lmin ia bpwam bpib eqtt vwb pmiz @aqumwvpwjjma

translates to

NONE SO DEAF AS THOSE THAT WILL NOT HEAR @SIMEONHOBBES

Household Artifacts and Other Musings 15

A new blog post from Elliott Graves, he apparently works on the Ajira ticket desk !

He has found some bits of paper with a coded message and convieniently enough some information that may be a key to the code. However the key seems to be faulty so he needs help in interpreting it.

I have left a message on the blog post to say we can help, so get those brains working.



Update dedioste has commented to say that the code looks like a reverse alphabet code, however there are still some more letters that appear to be wrong. The key below lists the coded glyphs with the reverse alphabet equivalent.


Update 2 - Using the reverse key above The translation of the passage seems to be -

Click here to see the translation.

NATHANIAL, fatheher meant a great deal to us and we are honored you wish to follow in his footsteps. When Adomis told me what you could do, I knew you were a perfect candidate.

However the road ahead is long. You maybe a good person in my eyes but Jacob is much harder to please. Initiation into our ----- order is an old and sacred process and not the easiest thing to endure.

Your first goal is to find the Phoenix. He will ask you to recite Apollo’s creed and if you answer correctly he will give you a test. Thas ----- test is painful and deeply personal, so be prepared. This is where most peopl fail.

Everything from then on will have to remain a secret. I wish you luck and hope to count you among our number soon.”

The Fates 1

In the background of the Simeon Hobbes Twitter account there is a picture which is a painting called The Fates by Goya.

You can read about it at a blog site about Masterpiece paintings. The details of the painting are interesting - "In classical mythology, the fates are three goddesses that control the thread of life. They are the personifications of destiny (or fate)."

Also marielevenstar has let us know that there is a new Twitter account for Elliott Graves. In the most recent post he says "@simeonhobbes and (the departed) @epithetalpha are the only ones I think have anything to do with my brother's disappearance."

Who is Simeon Hobbes ? 11

A new wordpress blog has started up entitled "Who is Simeon Hobbes ?"

It is by a person called Elliott Graves who details members of his family that go missing and the only link seems to be with Simeon Hobbes. Hobbes seems to have been around for about 100 years.

A lot of use of the number 27 in the post as that is the age that male members of his family disappear. Elliott is going to turn 27 in a couple of months and he wants to find his brother.

The post also mentions his father working for Widmore Industries.

Thanks to marielevenstar for mentioning this in the comments.

New ARG ? 26

Information about a potential new ARG has been appearing around the internet over the last few days, all started by a Twitter account of a user called Simeon Hobbes posting some interesting messages.

Shortly after this a YouTube video was published called 'Who is Simeon Hobbes' in the YouTube channel used for The Lost Experience. The video consists of a star scape and some audio, and in the audio there is some Morse Code. The translation of which is :-

"I AM THE BENNU BIRD, THE HEART-SOUL OF RA, THE GUIDE OF THE GODS TO THE TUAT."

A tweet from Simeon said 'Follow the Pheonix' which led to another twitter user 'epithetalpha'. Simeon Hobbes then responded with the tweet 'Phoeonix Found'.

Maven from The Lost Community sent a message - "And With This Fire I Purify" - to Epithetalpha and received this reply :-

"Are you a candidate? Await further instructions May 18."


None of this has been confirmed as official by any source related to Lost and this may only be the stirings of someone wiaitng for Lost to return next year, however if it is then the timing of all of this is immaculate to coincide with the Lost finale. It also quite neatly fits in with a lot of the egyptian themes increasingly used by Lost this year.

More information if it becomes available.



Thanks to Maven for posting information in The Lost Community about this.

Also the translation of the Morse Code came from the LostPedia blog.
