[INFO] Society of the Ancients (was: also Transmission Log)

The Transmission Log was found in the halo3.com/comic which was found early in a weekend ad. The website is http://206.16.223.65/. Through some brute force, another website was since discovered, The Society of the Ancients or SOTA.

Main sites pertaining to this thread:
http://Halo3.com/comic
http://Societyoftheancients.com a.k.a. http://206.16.223.63/
http://206.16.223.65/

Other websites:
Myspace Blog that details information about SOTA:
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=1000322121&blogID=275828355

Notes:
The countdown on the Transmission Log website uses a base 7 clock and appears to be counting down to 12:00 on the 21st.


(moderator removed the superfluous "&MyToken=3bfe4d54-877a-4b11-8135-6cc738d12bbb" from the end of that URL, because it made the forum scroll wide, and it's a session ID that people don't need -- catherwood)

edit: renamed since this isn't an update thread as much as a discussion thread about a few topics; don't be afraid of beginning a new thread to discuss something in particular -thebruce

Recent News

*EARTH SHATTERING*
07/06/14 - major find in N.Afrcia that blows lid on all coverups, check back in for more info

the truth is surfacing, it's all becoming apparent!

Please upload pictures of forthcoming rallies & events

Intelligent alien life has visited Earth many times in the course of Human history. What's more, this alien intelligence has "helped" human development by giving us technological advancements at key points in our evolution.

More proof of the alien / human interaction can be found our website – www.societyoftheancients.com or www.SOTA.com

Our main message- Aliens are not a myth.

There is proof (check out the website) that aliens have visited Earth many times. In fact, we owe extraterrestrial visitors a debt of thanks for the advancements they have provided our species with.

Another important thing you should keep in mind is that the Society of the Ancients is not a cult. We are not an anti-government group, crackpot religious commune or Sci-Fi readers' circle. We are intelligent, contributing members of modern society.

Our purpose is to collect and pass on information that has led our members to this unique understanding about human history and its relationship to a gracious (and technically advanced) ancient alien race.

Things to consider in relation to our Ancient brethren-

Ockham's Razor - "All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one." This theorem is at the heart of SOTA thought.

The sudden rise and fall of ancient cultures

Waves of technological awakening that comes every few hundred years

Why did certain ancient cultures falter? Inca. Mayan. Aztec. The true question is how did they rise to power and knowledge so quickly?


What, and answer truly now, can be the simplest answer to these questions? Extra terrestrial helpers!

Looks like this arg is really going to go in-depth and explain the Forerunners a lot, which is so great. As a kid I always had ideas like this but I never knew that there were groups that believed in it also. This arg has turned me onto all this, hehe.

unpurposed, make sure to edit your post with updated iterations.

I believe that his MySpace was "hacked" by AR.

Anyway, to be sure, I emailed him with the contact email from his website.
Below is what I asked of him.

Subject: SOTA membership

In need of membership.
Can you endorse me?

What is the P.O. Box address of the national headquarters?
Or who might be the local representative for the state of New York?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you kindly.


(If you do not know what this is about, your MySpace account had information about a group called the Society of the Ancients. And I am very sorry for bothering you with this message.)

I emailed Avery Fane via his website email link. Told him I was very interested in SOTA and wanted to know about the wave he wrote about. We'll see what comes out of it.

Someone should call him maybe? But not tonight. At least have the respect to call him at a decent hour of the day so that if he is not a part of this game, you do not disturb him too much. I know I would hate to start having all these calls about something I have no idea about all of a sudden.

I can't help but think that if this guy only volunteered to use his myspace for the ARG that we might be bothering him by calling his phone number. Was this site linked to his myspace account?

The MySpace lists the website as his homepage. So yes, they are linked by more than a google search or something.

Well, even if it wasn't, his account is public access, so it is his fault if someone does find his webpage and his phone number and calls him. The internet can be a scary place because people will go to that trouble to find that information. Look, we did! But still, if someone calls him, do it as a good time, for each number they try from his page, as he might not be a part of the game after all.

He's a legit actor. I'm sure they are paying him well. Wink

No way he has foreknowledge of SOTA, the glyphs, mentions truth and the final chapter, has Covie glyphs on his blog, and isn't in-game. No way.
