Re: My Look at It

[Waterborn2o2p]

After Playing around with some search combos and coming across the word "encom" in a Middle English Dictionary definition of coveit (i.e. greed), I stumbled onto this site - http://whatwedoispoison.blogspot.com/2010/03/encom.html which includes a trailer for the original TRON movie that I have never seen before.



Now not sure if any of this has to do with anything really, lots of extremely loosely associated connections, but since we are spinning our wheels anyway, I figured I would share.

(Ready for a good trouting if this trailer is well know here)

Just got my Kraz-Bot card, postmarked Jun. 30 - is that a first?
Code pattern is the same as previous, so nothing special there.
I can at least say that the Pacific Northwest is now included in the map.

Has anyone done a book cipher or used the dots against the "copy" that's above the bar?

I did a quick-run against it and got:

Ok... dumb question - but I figure someone may have tried this already: steaming off the stamp and address label and looking underneath with UV?

Have we thought about any other wavelengths that are available to the general public?

And, what is with 'operationtron.com' on the 42E server? it's serving up 'Bad Requests' - maybe a new one to watch? (as of 1130a Pacific there are 190 sites)

Just curious.

Got my postcard

[ADarkly]

Hi there, hope no one minds me abruptly barging into this thread. I got completely stumped with my postcard and thought "if only I had people to discuss this with!" (just got off a very cooperative series of LOST ARGs). Hit Google and you came up.

FYI, my card is ArcWars, postmarked Jun 29, polar bear stamp, and I live in the Chicago suburbs.

Here's to hoping that this is important to everyone, and not just build for SDCC. But if it's any help, I AM going to San Diego Comic-con and Tron Legacy con for me pretty much (it's my top priority). I just purchased a portable blacklight for this, so I'm going to be as ready as I can! I have several other Tron friends going as well (armed w/laptops and smartphones).

A personal theory - last year at SDCC, the first night you needed an arcade token to get in (they didn't care after that). It's possible they've built their own custom mobile code for this, and will be armed with blacklights and scanners at the door; or it could give access to the info that LEADS to the arcade/event.

Jesus, this still hasn't been solved? What is 42 Entertainment waiting for?

[Broklynite]

Much as I love the whole card-reader idea, I find it questionable. Has anybody ever seen a magnetic strip where data was encoded visible to the naked eye? I certainly haven't.

What else can be seen? The layout of the boxes is extremely precise. To the point where I've been fooled on a couple of them thinking that they overlap in height. They aren't- they are simply perfectly spaced.

If all they had to be was overlapped, I think we would have found it by now.

I thought of punch cards, but dismissed them. By the time Tron was made, punch cards were already old tech. Tape-based mainframes, however, were not. I'm looking into it now with some hope, but I don't pretend to understand it. Back then, I used either my Commodore 64, or my Apple II for the majority of my computer usage. My only exposure to mainframes is via emulators (don't ask- some companies are simply too cheap).

Somehow I keep thinking that rather than overlaying, each card is a code that will translate to a different word, and will make a four word phrase (or perhaps longer).
