 		I read the whole 4chan post. It seems that Ascending in the sonic game their talking about is different from our Ascend, Some people mention "is this like the kanye quest Ascend" but they are ignored. The thread near the very end starts to talk about our Ascend and they link this video from YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sEDGNdUa14

This is the first Ascend video I have seen but its probably been posted on the earlier pages.

 		The MANIFESTO video was cool, but I think the only clue we connected to anything was the pigeon's number sequence (85445854).

That's a pretty weird tweet, Endzo. It just reminded me that we haven't figured out what the libeeate tenis tweet was about.

Edit: I'm stumped on both tweets. So far, I've been assuming that the 4 dashes in the libeate tenis tweet mean that it's just a list encoded with a replacement cipher. I haven't gotten anywhere with that, though. "tribesmun" is the only word that could be "digitalis," but it's probably not vigenere since the key would have to contain "qjctlsbmv."

 		I've already flipped the image around so all the text is reading in one direction.

It looks like rejecting the offer on the last poll has broken things.


Also skimming the long FB post I ran to check the piece that stood out the most.

This is an actual album, so take care if you try to download anything.

I'm more thinking the FB post is encrypted and not to be taken literally. Many of the items listed are actual albums, lyrics, articles, etc.

 		I have nothing new, but I finished compiling the puzzle chains from the original group and added them to the spreadsheet. It's a big of a chaotic order, but I highlighted anything missing or never solved.

If anyone knows of other forums who were studying this at the time, it might be worth cross studying their findings.

 		I think we really need to contact the original guys that were working on this, They are still active on the forums but for some reason stopped working on this, here is a list of the original people.

    catherwood
    jono
    aklreaxmer
    calivica
    Adm_BlackCat
    Cheza
    arthurdent11389
    MrToasty
    Elethamei
    GuestUser17


I'm really stumped on what we need to do next, it seems that the facebook post is encrypted like you guys have said already but what do we use to decipher? Maybe the straw poll that was posted with it?

I work with unity on a regular basis, The first line explains that the scene will be rotating around the Y axis (up and down) with a speed of 340.29 (Which turns out to be the speed of sound in m/s). So like a normal rotating display you would see In a department store. The second line says to find the 3d model/ asset called "ElectromagneticSpectrum" and take its orientation (aka transform). So if I had to guess the intention of this program/game would be to display the ElectromagneticSpectrum and keep rotating it around the Y axis. Up is typically the Y axis but can be X or Z.

The fact that the first line of code has a } and no starting { means that it was probably copied straight out of some code. It also means that there is more code that precedes that line so there is a lot more code but they chose to post those lines in particular. The Syntax is a little messed up, it would make more sense to the computer if it were written like this:

function Start()
{ target = GameObject.FindWithTag("ElectromagneticSpectrum").transform;
transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime * speed = 340.29); }

Semicolons are like period at the end of a sentence in programming and {} are like paragraphs for programming if you need an analogy.

Edit: Finally something I know about! lol. Look up the ElectromagneticSpecturm picture, not sure if its just coincidence but there is a butterfly on the ElectromagneticSpectrum picture to illustrate scale of the wave. Another thing to note is its strange that a programmer would "hard code" the speed there, we would instead make a variable to hold whatever speed we want and use the variable instead, tl;dr i think 340.29 has some significance.

 		Fellow Ascensionists! I'll be out of touch for the next 2 weeks. Things are definitely slow at this point, so hopefully the PM is on summer vacations of their own. I initially thought the forecasts were being delayed because the encodings were changing regularly, but now it seems like everything is delayed. I guess it doesn't help that we solved so many open puzzles at once that we don't have much to occupy ourselves with.

One weird possibility is that the PM is busy programming a new ascensionism-related game, this time in Unity. I haven't found any mentions of Kanye Quest, Phenix (the creator), or Ascensionism in relation to Unity, though.

Anyway, PM me if there are problems with the Dropbox collection of streams, otherwise I'll see you all in 2 weeks!

 		Have we received anymore forecasts? I've checked the dropbox and nothing new has been posted for awhile. I'm not sure if that's from they haven't been broadcasted or if the person updating the dropbox has taken a break.
