Is this for real ???

Glider how dare you post that tantalizing image without explanation?  I just drove for 10 hours to get down here and now I'm going to be up all night going over the posibilities!

This is not from the game.  This is not from Bungie.  This is for real.  Try to beat Kenji before he sees this.

This is giving me more trouble than expected... I might be over thinking this...

Oh don't get angry... He also did this with the recon achievement... Look at it now and you'll see what I mean...

That fricken' bottom left one confounds me... it totaly throws off everything...

OK. I'm cool. Just do it fast Kenji, Plz?  :)
Title: Re: >> TRANSMISSION <<
Post by: Kenji on November 26, 2009, 09:31:44
Well I think I figured out the order... I just got an idea I need to test it out first though...

I CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT!!!!

AGH!!!  I dont need help I just need some more time...
Title: Re: >> TRANSMISSION <<
Post by: Imppa on November 27, 2009, 09:11:42
I'm working on this too, soooo...
Don't asplode Kenji if I post it before you, K? ;)

Post by: Pulse Cloud on November 27, 2009, 14:59:41
What is this supposed to be?
Is it something you found or are you just screwing with us?

Are we supposed to figure anything out out of this? The first obvious thing that comes to my mind is the order Down, Up, Left, Right, but I don't think that's relevant.... I don't know.. Maybe you should explain yourself, CG.

There is an encoded message in the image.  We are on this.

Here's what we can tell from a glance:

The squares are numbered 0001 is 1, 0010 is 2, 0011 is 3 and 0100 is 4

The Y glyphs orientation are probably significant.

The bottom left may have an entire row of blanks as well as an entire column of blanks.

If it weren't a competition I'd give you more.   :)

Title: Re: >> TRANSMISSION <<

Competiton for who solves it first, of course. ;D
Title: Re: >> TRANSMISSION <<
Post by: Kenji on November 27, 2009, 16:47:37

There there Enigma, it'll be okay.
I suggest that IF we figure this out, we send it on PM to CG and ask him if it's good. OK?

I'm pretty sure he's gonna leave it as a hunt for awhile, as I'm not supposed to reveal anything ; )
Normally, I'd go to making my own hints, but I believe FOREMAN is having too much fun, and probably has stuff planned. Mass clues could just complicate things/ make it over with to quickly!

The prize is still up for grabs from what I know...so keep on workin!
Title: Re: >> TRANSMISSION <<
Post by: Imppa on November 28, 2009, 08:51:57
Ok...
You mean that the real solving is still there, and even you haven't solved it yet? Or do you just mean "It doesn't matter that I did it first: you can do it too!"
Either one is fine, just asking in curiosity :).

Post by: ColdGlider on January 01, 2010, 21:39:32
It's been over a month now.  Many (most!) of our own moderators have not yet decrypted this.
 :o

Thanks to efforts by The Braino and Dunder Moose, the secret behind the transmission was revealed... but it remains a secret!  The puzzle remains active and available for solving.

As a matter of fact- just before the New Year- I intercepted a second Transmission (http://subculturelifestyle.com/forum/index.php?topic=542.msg3490#msg3490) and posted it.  Since then, FOREMAN appeared to alter its format.  (My original post was technically incomplete, but contained the necessary data.)

So not only is the puzzle still active, but also FOREMAN is "alive" and well.

If you still have the inclination to solve the TRANSMISSION puzzle, I recommend that you begin with the encrypted post (http://subculturelifestyle.com/forum/index.php?topic=370.msg1857#msg1857) by FOREMAN.

It remains to be seen what TRANSMISSION 02 is all about, but one thing is for sure:  these have to be done in order.

*Realizes self is an idiot*

HOW CAN I ANSWER A NON-EXISTING QUESTION!?
HOW DOES THIS EVOLVE TO A NEW SYMBOLIC LANGUAGE!?

A NUMBER!
A WORD!
A URL!
SOMETHING!

I dunno if you pronounce URL as "ural" or what, but you wouldnt say "AN URL", you would say "A URL". :D

HAH! YOU GOT ME!
I made that error because I'm Portuguese, and in Portuguese the "u" is pronounced "U", and not "IU" (like in "ultra").

IN ENGLISH:
Because it's an acronym and it doesn't make sense being read as a whole, you should pronounce all the letters separately, like this: "U"  "R"  "L", o" IU AR EL". :)

This doesn't apply to "ONI" because you can undoubtedly and easily read it as "OUNI".



ATTACHED IS A HINT...

I've already reached that stage...
I shall think like an enigmatic d00d and see if produces results. :)

You didn't get it.
In English you pronounce U      R      L. Like that.
Obviously, the 'U' letter is read as IU, so it is obviously "A URL", like "A University".

In Portuguese, the 'U' letter is read as only U, not IU. It sounds just like the 'w' in the word "word" or the 'u' in the word "super". That's why I made that error: I was unconsciously thinking about the Portuguese way to say URL.

Got it? :)

Now let's get back on topic: RANTING!

If you can read that image, you should be in the clear waters already.
Well, I wasn't, but you should. ;)

FOREMAN's image in the OP was transmitted to the Gallery, which is down today due to an issue with SubcultureLifestyle.  Since some people are working on it today (people whose names end with "Cycle") I am attaching a copy that I saved on my PC.

Enjoy.

Per my post above:

Sorry for the inconvenience.  The gallery (and therefore the FOREMAN image) should be coming back online today.  When it does, you can be sure that yours truly will begin migrating the gallery to our own server.  At that point, any outages can be blamed squarely on me (or my hosting service!)

The gallery was offlimits too many until about a week ago. :|

Nade, Monx, Homer, and Walien, I suggest you try and figure this out.

(Above was basically just a post who's purpose is to send thebraino an email, which then may entice him to come back) (he has this on his notification list)
