they mailed this code today. I think its how to decode their messages but they aren't telling us anything, or at least not me.
i'll probably get blacklisted for this.

This has always bothered me, since, as far as I know it's the only source for the second coded message.

Me too. But, when someone posted this link to formspring 175,000 said "where did you get that" and then was temporarily reassigned. Later that post was deleted.

I'm pretty sure deedee is talking about the guest at the top of page twelve who leaked the second coded message, gender unknown [...]

That would make sense. I was already wondering why the person on page five wasn't even mentioning the word "week". But if he meant the person on page 12, then why did he wrote "on page six [...]"? I don't get it.

I think it is interesting that we didn't manage to translate that "code". Well, of course we can swap the glyhps with letters, but bringing them in the right order is something else. I'm curious why 175,000 asked "Where did you get that?", when nobody can tell what it says anyway.

 		Maybe another clue
Hi guys, first of all, I´m from Argentina, sorry for my english, im a little out of practice.
I´ve been reading this forum for a while, because I think is the one that's taken the subject seriusly.
Taringas ideas are terrible, i think that its more of a joke for them...
Anyway, i've found this in another forum (forocoches) before they made their thread private, and thought it cuold mean something.
Some spanish guy playing with the photoshop on Belle's photo says that there are some hidden simbols on it, they look like constelations to me...

What do you think?

I do not buy that one, I already messed with the picture on photoshop and found nothing like that, I'm a Graphic Designer, so know my way on photoshop

Also, on this page are claming that some of the PMs sent them an e-mail

http://www.facebook.com/notes/8311-the-truth/la-verdad/256327274384213

check it out if you can, don't buying that one either that facebook page is in spanish

I know the other page on facebook is managed by someone that posts on this thread, did you get contacted too?

 		Looking back through the thread, I'm coming to suspect the poster Coolson33 of being involved. That may not be good form to suspect other posters, but try it out for yourself. Skim back through the thread and read his posts. Does he seem to know more than one should be able to assume at any given point?

 		what
I just don't understand the purpose of pulling the View6 file.
Why take away information from a site that gains its momentum from looking at every minute detail for possible meaning?
It seems that any meaning being taken from the View7 is dependent on the annotated View6, even though the original is gone.
I'm new to this, so is this supposed to be an acknowledgment to the players that they have made it to a particular point (leaving everyone else behind/forcing them to catch up) or is it "retraction" of (dis)information so that we focus on something else new or what?

 		alpha
And on a completely unrelated note, I saw a random link to this animated gif about alphabets a few weeks ago. It is not part of the game (I swear), but I thought I'd share in case it could give any ideas to the crypto-geniuses out there.

Has anyone got ANY ideas about the "word" above 68000's name?

Assuming that the two unknowns will be letters J, X or Z and that it's a simple Caesar cipher (as per the clues in the image alt tags) I have used a spreadsheet to calculate EVERY possible decoding assuming alphabets of both 26 and 38 characters. Then reversed that text. All I created was pages of gibberish! I'd be happy to post the whole thing but I don't think it would do any good!!

The problem is that there only 4 vowels, so you probably can't make a single world out of it, but multiple ones.

Edit: Can you do me/us a favour and upload the whole 'thing' on this site?


I have uploaded to pastebin as requested

I will check their posts out, but I am quite certain that TheLastSasquatsch is not involved.

Edit: As for Coolson33:
His first post was on page 3 at Jun 24, 2011: He was the first to post the View6 image. He did say where it came from, but without providing us a link. This does make him indeed kind of suspicious...

You can find his other posts here:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Post 2, Post 3, Post 4, Post 5, Post 6, Post 7, Post 8, Post 9, Post 10, Post 11, Post 12, Post 13 ², Post 14 ³, Post 15 *

² He is the first to post the alphabet image.
³ He is the first one able to properly use it, too.
* His last post, ca. a week ago


After reading all these, I have to agree with boone and Guest. He does seem to be very suspicious as he was the first one to post two of the images and because he seems to know too much for the "average" user.

At the moment I can't be arsed to look through the thread again, so if anyone else has got some free time on their hands and wants to check the other two users' posts, go ahead.

Thanks! I'll see if I can find anything in there that's not gibberish.

 		woah, found some letters (?) in her weird hairline:
http://cl.ly/23270h1R1L2E0K021T0k
looks like lower case i, lowercase x, uppercase C or G, lower case n or r or m?
(i upped the contrast to make it more obvious but if you don't believe me try it yourself with the original)
