What happened to the "Followers of the Twilight Dragon"?

Post by Takion »

I don't know if I am posting in the right section, and I'm sorry if it isn't.
But anyway, I have a question.

Do you guys know what happened with the blog "followersofthetwilightdragon.blogspot.com" for being removed? Something happened with the sole admin, or anything similar?
Or I just don't remember the right name and my google-fu isn't working?
I am glad that I saved the rough conjecture that was there (it was the biggest attempt to complete the poem that I've ever seen), but even so, it was the only site that I knew that really had an interest in the poem, so it's a bit sad to see that it is no more.

The only informations that I have is this thread from a time ago:
http://www.dothackers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18840
and that the facebook page is out of the game too.

Oh, yeah, one question more. Do you all know if the way that that guy put the parts of the poem together was the "right" way?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the faulty english.

Have a nice day.

I'm not sure about that site, but when it comes to the Epitaph the best resource overall is here.

The Epitaph was never completed in the .hack universe, it's open to interpretation. Harald created one interpretation which is what he put into the game. He had his own idea of how Emma would end it and how the Twilight Dragon would fit into his plan to create an AI. This interpretation is covered in the .hack//Epitaph of Twilight novels. I wrote a summary of the ending here:

There's also a huge spoiler about Emma's identity that should affect how you interpret it. But it will change everything you think you know about the Epitaph: http://www.dothackers.net/forums/viewto ... 15#p458815

so before clicking this and reading it, im curious. Is this from reading books or something, and that everyone would come to the same conclusion? because if its open to interpretation, it seems odd if everyone came to the same conclusion. or am i over thinking this?

The Epitaph of Twilight: A story in the .hack universe that was never completed by its author and has no ending, so Harald interpreted one.

Emma Wielant: A character in the .hack universe with a surprising backstory seen on a computer screen in Thanatos Report and later confirmed in the Archives books, which isn't open to interpretation.
