 		well, I finished the dark green, but looks like someone else did it as well. For the record in numerical order it comes out as EIYMRACNH

 		To translate:

You take each pair of numbers for each colour, and you trace a line from them back to the centre. This gives you the "Flag positions" for a semaphore letter ( http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~rockmore/semaphore.html ). You then decode all the letters, and end up with a series of letters like "UTSEEGR" (The purple set). A quick anagram solve translates this to "GESTURE". Lather, rinse, repeat.

Your best bet is to visit this thread for help sorting out SurvivalCode. So far we don't know what the keys do, but you entered your codes correctly since the "constellations" are now colored in.

 		Gotta go do my show but congrats to the sema decipher folks. Also congrats to 42 E for being so sneaky.

Looking forward to seeing what comes of it later.

 		For reference, but it probably isn't needed now we see this semaphore?

The amount of times a certain number is shown, I do see a decreasing pattern going down though.

A1 = 30
A2 = 31
A3 = 30
A4 = 29
A5 = 20
A6 = 20
A7 = 17
A8 = 14
A9 = 12
A10 = 6
A11 = 2
A12 = 2

[TOTAL = 213]
