At first I though it was the other drawing but this look more detailed and it has a strange symbol in the corner.

has anybody seen this one yet? sorry if this is talked about im just getting into this recently


Sweet! No, this hasn't been posted in this thread yet. Just how did you manage to find this image?


Someone linked to it. I think they figured the first drawing was View6 so they put view7. I have a script in my browser that automatically makes links out of any url and I clicked it.

 		Unfortunantly for that guy's theory, the earth aligning with the perigee position of the comet is on the 10th, according to the same tool he used from the jpl site. scientists and observers have already agreed that it's a small comet, and not even the closest one earth has had. as for the earthquakes he keeps pointing out at every alignment, there are earthquakes every day... kind of easy to make those conclusions.

"Did you remember my dentist appointment yesterday? If you lived in NICARAGUA you did. they had an offshore 4.8 as I was starting my cleaning" (true story) If Elenin was the "Brown Dwarf" he claims it to be (between the size of gas giants and our own sun) it would be very obvious to us as it was approaching.

Is anyone here able to translate this? This seems to be an interesting new find. Contrary to the other, similar image, here the head seems to be the only part of the body that is moving. Also, there are strokes coming from the mouth, which I assume means that noises/music/words are produced by it.

I have trouble coming up with a good interpretation of the two symbols used in the image, does anyone else have a good idea what they could mean?

Also, how did you find this? If you try replacing the 7 in http://8-3-11.info/View7ProgressSTC.png with any other number, it leads you to the "LookingForSomethingThatNeverExisted" page.

Edit: Okay, so I am currently trying to translate it using this. I will post an image later.

Looks like the old picture has been replaced with this one.

I translated what I could.
The words by the head say "VERY FREE".
Below that is "LIKE SHOULDER".
At the base of the figure is hard to make out: "P??ED"
On the right is "ORIENTATION". Above that, the letters "W" and "F" are above the eye, and "B" is below the eye.

If you're wondering how I got the letter "Y," there was a fake coded message released at some point that the 175,000 affirmed was a fake, even stating that the word "Home" was misspelled. The message, however, contained a symbol for "Y" as part of the word "You," and 175,000 said nothing about that being misspelled.

Okay so next to the head it says
"VERY
FR_ (maybe that symbol is 'ee'?)"

Below that it says:

Like
Shoulder

Then near the star it says

W

F

B

 		One thing the game creator failed to understand is Game Theory.

The only information that was ever given was "leaked".. and by leaked I mean him or one of his helpers purposely put the images out there.

It's funny how earlier in this thread "Coolson33" ONLY talked when discussing the leaked image. Everyone ignored him and kept discussing different clues.

After 5-6 days of this... magnificently someone figured out a key to it. OMG!!!

What happened to that awesome person who cracked the code "perfectly" but can't seem to figure out the rest of the code from the second "leaked" image?

The problem with creating puzzles is you don't know how everything will be interacted with the people solving the puzzle. (It's just like building an actual website.. you don't know how your users are going to interact with your website until you perform user based testing, and/or eye tracking studies. Something might seem entirely obvious to YOU.. but it's impossible for the user).

Sure it seems obvious to the puzzle creator. The links have already been created.

There's plenty of "clues" if you can even call them that that have been "leaked" or "not leaked" to the public. Additionally there's a bunch of random information that isn't involved at all. Making the combination of this information impossible to assess.

This is where Game Theory comes back in. There's a breaking point to the equilibrium between each player of the game. (You being one player, and the community solving the puzzle being the other).

Your lack of connection to any particular line of clues makes it impossible for the puzzle to be solved logically or rationally.

So this should be "our" move people. Stop playing.

Stop sending in questions.

Stop posting in this thread.

Stop spreading the word.

Stop creating buzz around the web.

The reason? There's a deadline to this puzzle. Remember Game Theory. The creator of this (whether it's an ARG or not) has motives for the game. Whether it's to create a fun and satisfying puzzle, or to create a name for their group, or even a human behavior study. No matter what the deadline is his enemy. Not ours.

If nothing else is figured out and come 8/3/11 he reveals whatever he wants to reveal... and it's just a collection of random information that it's quite obvious no one could or would figure out. They lose. In more ways than one.

This forces action. Additionally it puts them in an awkward position because I know they'll be reading this. So they have some big decisions to make. As long as we neglect the game their decision will also be the incorrect one. Either they stall until the deadline and lose. Or they "leak" information that should have had connections in the first place.

Either way I've always been in the business of Winning. So that's what I'll do.

Wont be checking back here (but I'm sure some of you will argue that defeats the purpose... so have fun!)

If you have a real argument: rojahvishkovSPLATyahoo.com

You're correct it was never posted. The original image was "View6". Sounds like another leak.

At the base of the figure is hard to make out: "P??ED"

Below the figure it says "SINNED"

The symbol that would stand for degrees means double letter, as shown in the double "e" in free.

 		F and B would indicate a front back orientation... you are looking at the main object Top Down

 		This is how I translated it (sorry if I made any mistakes).



Edit: Smaller version of the image uploaded.

 		Same thing here. I like the idea that the small circle indicates double letters.
I didn't realize the arrow was a letter as well. I took it as literal.

click for larger image

marked letters I knew in Green, ones I guessed at in Red

I see what you mean about the double N, but I'm pretty certain that's the symbol for P at the beginning, which would make it "PINNED", as in pinned down, or fixed to the ground. The idea that "F" and "B" mean front and back makes since, too. What looked like an eye to me at first now appears to be an overhead view of this contraption, and the lines going out imply that the torso can pivot down in all directions. "Like Shoulder", then, would refer to a ball joint that would allow the torso to pivot "Very Free"ly.

It does seem lame, though that this wasn't revealed as the result of solving a puzzle, but was simply leaked. I've tried that URL recently and there was nothing there, so it must have just been put up, just as the older diagram was just taken down.
