 		The roster on the Umbrati site has been updated, and now shows a large number of agents besides us, with higher ranks. All these agents are in the categorised groups.

The Nyx Telecommunications staff are in the Cabal group, excluding Kevin, but including Galen.

Xi group includes 'Shadow0017', which may be Richard. While he was referred to as 'Operative 17', there isn't a 'Oper0017' on the roster.

Yes, it was, and so was the disabled Research trial.

There is no Umbrati Cabal. <.<

Honestly, I think it's a typo that Galen's in there. He seems like the big boss, but he's only got Shadow Maker rank? I reckon that might be Kevin really.

I think I'll work out what values the ranks have, based on the averages. No reason. Will edit/post when I do, though.

ETA: Values of the ranks seem to be as follows:

Field Operative I - 10
Field Operative II - 10 (yes, I know, it's the same)
Field Operative III - 14
Shadow Agent - 90

I worked these out from just teams mu, rho, upsilon and chi, so I'll test it for the others.

ETA2: Doesn't work for team eta, so I reckon the figures are either rounded to the nearest integer (but then why the 1dp?) or just made up.

 		@Alisdairpark:

I said that the one you didn't know was the grave of Beethoven (clearly not the 1975 or w/e you said it was) earlier in the thread. Sorry... should have been more clear I guess.

For the matter of this rank stuff, before last night the uncategorized average rank stayed at 4.0. Thus, we are all 4. Don't know why it's now N/A.

EDIT: By my calculations (don't remember which groups I used) FO1=9, FO2=14, FO3=15, S=89.

 		By my just-woke-up mental math, we have 120 others as company.

 		Short explanation of teams in the News:
Quote:
Organizational Teams

Posted on 06/11/08 @ 07:16 AM

No doubt by now you have noticed the team affiliations. These teams do not mean there's a competition; these are simply organizational and relate to current tasks or geographical proximity. All current operative and Shadow Makers have been entered in to the system using their aliases through an automated process; at your discretion, please modify your user record and provide a proper name and login which can be more readily identified.

All new recruits are currently unclassified; we are actively analyzing your recruitment records and performance, and based on that will move you in to either one of the existing groups as aides to current operatives or in your own newly formed groups. That decision will be made in the coming days.

As far as the new recruits, on behalf of Galen Nyx and the rest of the Umbrati senior management, we would like to congratulate you on your progression. We expect great things from all of you.

Thank you for your cooperation.

- Adam Nyx

 		Going by all the dates that have been worked out by the following photos, I should have -173. But it's telling me it's incorrect... *confused*

1: 1970

2: 1957

3: 1968

4: 1791
----------
5: 1983

6: 1971

7: 1942

8: 1963

 		I'm fairly certain that your number 2 is Beethoven's grave... clearly not 1957. Many people disagree with me, EDIT: 1827
EDIT: Beat me to it. But I have said it multiple times in the thread Smile.

 		That'd then give me -303 which I detect would be the lowest yet and the site still says I'm wrong.

I've even tried changing #4 at the top to 1971 as opposed to 1791 and 1966 for some strange reason.

No answer I input is giving me the right answer.

I've gone from 0 to 200 one way and 0 to -300 another.

Thanks Amras, it's Pink Floyd The Final Cut 1983


Figured it out... They don't want 1983 for The Final Cut; they want the recording date 1982

The dates for the pics (for anyone not got it yet) are as follows:

1970 - 1827 - 1968 - 1791.

1982 - 1971 - 1942 - 1963.

Thanks to those who helped me w/ #2
