Observations about Forecast 6.

Wriggler is now gone which is at the same time that a "Conflict" happened with Absurdus.

There are now two new players in the forecast "China" and "IDSYS".

The South after snowless that didn't fit the pattern now has static over it.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Do you think the creator is trying to now hide a mistake or is this a clue?


China has the designation A1-QPLR which on the list of known names we had as wriggler???

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Is it just me or is A1-QPLR a title or position and China just took over?

Does anyone know what the writting on "China's" lamp says?

I have been trying to map out the movements. Using the same sort of file that TheLurker was using I have added a new sheet to the speadsheet. It has listed all 144 code sets from the forecast recordings in the order they are called out and I have written the location of each player and their direction indicated in the warning. I am still trying to figure out the "MAP" that they are moving around on but so far I am not having much luck. Each time I think I have an idea of how it works it doesn't hold up to more than a few moves.

The map that Manspider made doesn't seem to hold up to the movements but I would Like to get us to a point where we have a map that does make sense. Anyone have any ideas on how to try and do that?

A few players have crossed each others paths and been in the same space. Is there any way to use that information?

Any thoughts to the idea of this not being a 2 dimensional map but 3? Perhaps the slight, moderate, rough conditions refer to levels of depth (or height to ascend?) If positions are as the spreadsheet is interpreting them, no one has been 'rough'. A few have shifted between slight and moderate.

I don't know if this is the map we need, but looking back I noticed this image previously given has sections marked out for 1-13 (if you count the blank top as 13).

Still feel like I'm spinning wheels here though. Has anyone tried calling the site or RAQ number recently?

I tried calling the number today. 9999 0000 worked, but 05452 led to a pause followed by a message stating "the line was busy" and hung up.

THA FUNK

So,

I used to play Kanye Quest 3030 and only now i become conscious about the easter egg in the game, so looking for further information and find nonsensical related things, i found this thread and whole concept of ARG...

so, anyone can explain to a dummie, what tha fuck is this? i can't even imagine a cause of this whole ornament.

is really necessary a cult or you people still trying to define is is an ARG game or not?

a great part of internet still find this is some of secret society, i follow the 39 pages of the thread and seems you people are running with lives to meet new information, but seems i am pretty dummie to understand the references

so i will be pleased if you say how things are working in a most popular graphic.

thanks by the curious dummie one.

Kit information from http://www.ascensionismrecords.com/location
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
KIT 3 is listed as NOT RECEIVED | RECIPIENT UNKNOWN. This is the kit found in the police station by the previous crew working on this.
KIT 4 is listed as PLACED 19 JUN 14 | 47.909850, -91.845100 | WAITING | RECIPIENT LISTENING.


Do you suppose after all this time KIT 4 might still be there? It is marked on that website using a google map interface. Anybody even remotely near there? Nearby is another tagged location labeled "OPUS". This again ties to the old crew working this and the story that was being told. They believed the OPUS site to be the one with the maps drawn that correspond to the BAR movement story.

I was looking at the pickup map and noticed the 4th drop off is in very far north Minnesota. Up there is considered to be nothing or just woods that lead into Canada but if you zoom in like you did, you will see the drop off is in a town called Opus.

If you google Opus Minnesota, nothing comes up, but you can plug in the address of one of the streets and it does but its not identified as the town of Opus. This could be a red haring but could this be related:

Many of the words here are still a bit of a mystery. Perhaps we can get a consonant in there next. The last word though is only pinging one possibility, crosschecked across a couple different dictionary sites.

Of course it could still be something else.

As for drop package 4, someone earlier said they were possibly going to look into it. They tried to look at the AMNA station first though, trying to understand it better since it was closer. I don't think they ever tried to go to package 4.

Ok everyone, Forecast7 is out and it is very different to the previous Forecast's. It is now being said by a male voice which does not sound like a robot. The whole sequence is not being read out only the places of significance. Which is the players positions and two other points.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
btise alpha rough is followed by Butterfly Signora (so definitely tied to that place)
What was "snowless south sharp moderate" is now being read out as "Snowless Alpha Sharp Moderate" and now has a quite long interesting noise after it. Not sure but I think that there is something in that.

There are two new things about the players.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
We have a new player Reginald A1-MCLC #161469.
And for unknown reason Absurdus was read out in two positions???

Attached is the new SSTV image and the MP3 for anyone who would like to hear if for themselves. I will update my spreadsheet and put it up tomorrow if anyone is interested in that?

My understanding looking at the map is that the town is called Ely.
The OPUS point is in the town of Ely and the KIT 4 point is just north and seems to be near the end of walking track. Unfortunately google streetview doesn't go into the walking track just the road that is just south of it.

I really would be interested to know if something is still there?

Back there was a quote that Mr Toasty unwraveled: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1041390#1041390

"On a trail, around a lake, off in the woods... easily accessible by foot or bike."
To me that is a description of where the KIT 4 was hidden. (This is all just based off that location map)

Ok just a quick update. Here is the latest updates to the spreadsheet I am working on. Sorry if the XLS format does work properly. There are formula's from 2007 that won't work properly on earlier excel versions. (Forum only allows the xls upload)

So what I didn't realise about the Forecast7 broadcast was that it wasn't in order this time. Which has thrown me for a loop as I thought the spacing was important......isn't it?

The person speaking has said the butterfly announcement much clearer and it is tied to the one space. It should be Butterfly Signora not Butterflies Signora.

And Absurdus is DEFINITELY in there twice.

Please see what anyone else here can make of the information and please double check that I have them listed at the right locations and haven't made mistakes.

Has anyone got any ideas on how to solve those long strings of numbers we have?? I am not good at crypto but have been trying a few things and I have no idea where to go.....

Okay well this is what I received when I "Killed" Wriggler.

A1-ACDC
#161463
AML2

Notice the AML2 instead of AML1. Maybe this is why I have two positions?
