How I Found About Ariadne

To get some housekeeping out of the way first, hopefully this podcast project will get off the ground. Some of Ariadne's other friends and I are planning on collaborating on the Agonothetai696 podcast project, but so far nothing has come of it (save Dave Flamerock's addition as an author of this blog).

When I was working on the first episode of the podcast (before I found people interested in collaboration) I told the story of how I found out about Ariadne. Since that is no longer the plan for the podcast, I may as well tell it here.

I was on the Esperanto learning site lernu.net and was on the English language forum. I saw a thread titled "Trovu la Ringon Periditan" (Esperanto for "find the lost ring"). I clicked it and read the thread, which talked about Ariadne's situation. From there I went to the website listed, findthelostring.com, and the rest as they say, is history. I was one of the people who got Eli's email sharing the secret podcast and once we first got the personality test from the Codex, I found out I was a Sophia. I haven't been good at all about working on Sofia missions because the Sofia missions haven't been playing to my strengths (math and science, like the waveforms and pan-cosmology) are not my forte. But I have contributed my own theories (several of which turned out to be right, like that the "House of Salomon" Eli mentioned was alluding to Bacon's The New Atlantis) and I have helped translate several chapters of the Codex into English.

Se vi povas paroli Esperanton, bonvolu skribu al mi Esperante! Mi bezonas la praktikon. :)
