Hey there.. I hope you don't mind me posting here, but I am currently in need of assistance with some translation from Armenian. This is going to sound a bit unusual, but I am involved in an on-line game known as "Find the Lost Ring" that is tied to the upcoming 2008 Olympic games. The narrative behind this online game involves an ancient Greek sport, a group of athletes who are trying to save our world from destruction, and the attempts of a worldwide group of players such as myself to help them in this goal (sounds dramatic, I know!). This game has been going on since February, and it will culminate at the Beijing olympics. There is an in-game website here: www.thelostring.com and many of the English-speaking players have been following the game on Unfiction: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/index.php?f=237
This is truly an international game that has involved interactions between individuals from all over the world. As part of this experience, we have had to communicate with others in Mandarin, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, etc. This brings me to the reason why I am posting here. We are currently on our way to tracking down the location of the actual "lost ring" -- and as part of the game narrative, we have intercepted a voicemail message that describes how to find the location of one of the pieces of this missing ring. The only thing is, we believe that this message is in Armenian (the previous voicemail was in Dutch!) and it would be very helpful to get a translation of this message. A recording of the message can be heard here: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/f...1214933960.mp3
The message probably contains some information that is not completely clear unless you have been playing the game (e.g., it mentions an "omphalos" and "stadia"), but any help would be appreciated!! Also, if this isn't appropriate to post here, I apologize.
