Nobody's pissed off, that's saying a lot. OBviously we know you guys are here and we know we're all together on this.
We honestly have nothing against you "Twitter guys", on the contrary.

I guess it's just a tiny bit of disappointment to see that the PMs are partial in which channels they congratulate/acknowledge the efforts of the community.
They got partial, gave names. They maybe should'nt do that, is all.

Beh hey I sure don't lose any sleep over it. I'm just glad I'm in time for this one, heh. Missed the Portal 2, Lost, Super 8 ARGs, could'nt miss this. ^_^

Also they suck for using lowercase and spaces.


Yeah, I think the PM's are just tracking twitter with #weyladninvestors #projectprometheus and don't look into wider channels like this forum.
Oh well. But nonetheless, great work everyone!

Well yeah, after all I'm also participating via Twitter, sort of (@AntaresMHD). Just dropping a few clues over there and keeping track of the flow, but mostly posting in here since it's more organized and easy to focus on (not to mention I like it here).
It really isn't a big deal to me, in fact it would be better if we all focused our efforts, I'm sure some of the guys at Facebook or whatever would like to be more involved too.

just as an aside, i've made sure the official channels know where the paswords were birthed. For what it's worth.


Don't want to add any more fuel to the credit fire, but there are some of us (to be specific, me, SneakyMoustache and GuestUser17) who are on here who helped out with the /eridu thing (and more) on both channels unfiction/twitter (plus I've being trying to track everything on the weylandinvestors blog as well) so just saying, there isn't a separate group of "investors" on Twitter and on here. I understand that some are pissed off about it, but after all it's about working as a team, across several mediums.


we're not pissed off. It's just there in black and white - the clue was solved but because of poor programming perhaps, those who solved the clue in the first place probably feel a little cheated. WELL DONE TO EVERYONE THOUGH! YOU'RE ALL HERE.

 		Organized, yes, but far from enough.
For starters, ever since both pages were discovered, I bet many of us were trying their passwords on both pages.

We should have done stuff like create groups, complie lists, and have one group focus on "Eridu- All caps", another on Eridu-nocaps", "245409-all caps", and so on.

Well, or something like that.. might be a bit big as far as organisation goes, but you get the point.

 		Probably clutching here, but every talking point is a nudge to something better i guess.

Does this mean other names?

Yeah, we need more immersion alright.
Anyway, back to your question, it's all here:
http://www.cplire.ru/html/ra&sr/irm/CosmicCall-2003/index.html

I've been dissecting this for a while, looking for relevant names, but it doesn't go in full detail about the things they sent to that star. A few notes though, about some of the messages sent:

Quote:
The Bilingual Image Glossary (BIG) message is synthesized by us on the basis of 12 binary images where each image is 101 elements by 101 lines. The BIG served as the Image Dictionary of the Teen Age Message of 2001, [4]. Updating of the Dictionary consisted in its transformation from 12 separate pages into one page. Thus, each of the separate pages (except the last) was shortened by one line to exclude doubling the width of the horizontal frame lines. As a result, the uniform BIG page contains (12 * 100 + 1) = 1201 lines, and the size of its binary file equals the product of two prime numbers — 101 and 1201, which makes 121301 bits. The BIG message image is given from the left.

Quote:
We shall mention only some of the 24 Personal Message folders:

HellotoETI (This folder contains all files of the Web site — currently hosted at http://www.ieti.org/ — created by Canadian futurist Allen Tough);

Flags of the World (Contains the flags of 282 states and some international organizations);

DavidBowie (Contains the song "Starman" by world renowned rock musician David Bowie);

KFT (Contains music and images of KFT, a rock band from Hungary);

Crimea (Contains the flags of Crimea and Evpatoria, the Evpatorian insignia, and a photo of the 70-m EPR dish);

Ukrainian Pictures (Contains the drawings and pictures of Ukrainian schoolchildren which were delegates to an international education forum [iEARN-2002] in Moscow. Also contains the emblem of the radio message created by an Evpatorian schoolgirl, Katya Karpushkina — the winner of a competition devoted to the 2500 year anniversary of Evpatoria, [5]);

NewMexicoMemorial (Contains the text of a resolution passed by the New Mexico state legislature in 2003 designating the second Tuesday in February as "Extraterrestrial Culture Day" in New Mexico, and that the resolution, "be transmitted into space with the intent that it be received as a token of peace and friendship")

One word because you need to run the message together?

 		Well I don't know if they're talking about this:

ddm2ddm2ddm2amamambigbigbigbmesmpp


Because I tried it when it was posted above, but it didn't work. I might be doing something wrong.

Edit: Just tried

Quote:
ddm2ambigbmesmpp
DDM2AMBIGMESMPP


Also the above ones, without the appended PP/pp, no dice.

I know what you mean, the last couple I took part in were TDK and NIN Year Zero. Ahh... I still have my USB stick I found at one of NIN's gigs with the Survivalism Video on it.

ANYWAY,

245409

solve this for another screenshot from the trailers we already have.
