There is also the post dated december 21, 2037 mentioning Weyland's discovery of the rich mineral resources in the "outer veil."

I have already tried things like

projectpromethius.com/veil /outerveil /21122037 /12212037

I'm still convinced the number/letter convention used on the resource chart has great importance. If the tweet suggests looking at the timeline (history) for something rich (resources), it's on that particular date that these concepts (rich, history, resource) seem to intersect.

Just a thought...


I agree about the resource table. It may be coincidental, but if you take the 2 duplicated number pairs GRAPHITE / ADMANTIUM and RHODIUM / TITANIUM you get 'Ax Pc Rh Ti'. The word 'RICH' can be derived from that sequence by dropping the PT and AX, or even 'RICH PT' (Richard Post?) by dropping the only fanciful element/resource ADMANTIUM.

Like I say it could be coincidental, but these duplicate numbers are deliberate IMO.

THANK YOU, I've been saying that forever.

I'm tinkering a bit with that spreadsheet we have before I link it better to the wiki, I hope you guys don't mind, just a question.. what's that (0-393) range, where does that come from? I can see how it's relative to the 0-5000 range, but not sure why it's there?

..or even 'RICHA PT'

i just created a page to track investor information discrepancies by module section:
http://bigthingshavesmallbeginnings.wikispaces.com/Investor+Information+changes

there's also a wiki version of the investor page for reference. it should be helpful for text-based search and analysis of content, and far better to load without that background video and other multimedia freezing up browsers.

I personally wasn't sure with all of the corrections being made to the page, but now that a decent amount of time has passed - and other errors were fixed in the table but not these ones - I am also convinced. Stands out like a sore thumb.

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes but I set up a Project Prometheus wiki that people can contribute, just in case they're more familiar with wikia formatting etc. If there's another one floating around that is live and people are working on then I'm more than happy to focus on that, just thought there should be a presence on wikia.


Gah.. Yeah, I should have gone for something like that obviously..


http://bigthingshavesmallbeginnings.wikispaces.com

I had this going on, but it's tough to make it heads and tails. I really just begun thinking of it as a sort of bible we could all share, kind of like what was done with the online spreadsheet posted earlier. Was fond of that one.


Which one do we want to stick with? I can help out with either. Having two might get hectic?

Ax Pc Rh Ti

also "Chart Pix"

There must be some reason for the jpegs. I've been trying to overlay them, see if anything matches up. So far can't see anything.

Do we know what stars are behind the headers?

I filled that section (at least the number part), it means the actual size in pixels of that section (393), just so we can get an idea of the exact proportions we're dealing with. The 0-5000 means the actual proportion in the graph.

Thanks for clarifying, SSS.

What do you guys think, huh? Not too shabby! This can and will be refined even further, of course. I'm thinking now we should color-code real vs fictional, numbers that are text-formatted, that are duplicate, that don't fit the periodic table (for actual elements), and so on.
But then I was thinking, we can go into a bit more detail if we want to with a small section on the wiki page, that explains maybe why something seemed off to us. That's its purpose.

Also I really think we should go mathematic and check the numbers on the Weyland finances, I bet this thing is full of holes. The thing about how David's are distributed in each sector which is almost creepy.

Did Some Work on the Wiki

Yoko99/Rebus: Is there a possibility to create a moderated subpage for the list of already tried URLs? So only chosen users could edit it and add new combinations, after checking them first? Of course, if there are any volunteers to be spammed with all those URLS Smile.


At the moment, anyone can create and edit pages. I think we'll have to count on everyone being responsible and careful.


I've been lurking for a few days, following clues, entering dozens of codes on my own and decided to join the forum. I had a bit of information that I was keeping in a Word document, so I "synopsized" it and added the info and links to the "Project Prometheus" page on the recently established wiki. Hope it's helpful for backtracking. I could probably add more, but it will have to wait for a couple of days.

I just spent like 2 hours looking into different things about the David series models. And I keep looking at the david-8 signature logo thing from the commercial thing looks funny. Why is it on top? Etc. But nothing. Kind of crazy that we don't know where to go.

just updated the **weyland wiki page with info.

a few theories i've had about testing ** that also involves guessing names. it's more trial and error...

you don't necessarily need to have a phone to see if **xyz keyword is valid. how?

start with
http://starstar.to/movie/blahblahblah

breaking it down:
based on **weyland and **movie, they use a starstar.to shortlink followed by the keyword followed by a pseudo-random alphanumeric string.

- http://starstar.to forwards to starstarapps.com as a shortlink that was implemented to send a (not-so) short link via sms. (it's not-so short because of the pseudo-random alphanumberic string.)

- this is followed by the keyword. in this case it's "weyland" or "movie" or whatever.

- this is followed by the pseudo-random alphanumeric string that defeats the purpose of a shortlink in the first place; but probably is justified by them to track individual dissemination of said sms link -similar to how bit.ly may produce various innocuous links that lead to the same thing for stats purposes.

but, you don't necessarily have to test starstar.to per se since this isn't on the fox name servers, which in theory might lead to stuff that still needs to be verified whether it's oog or not.

so, backtracking, starstar.to/weyland leads to http://foxmovies.starstarapps.com/weyland.

dissecting this bit of info,

http://starstar.to/weyland forwards to
http://foxmovies.starstarapps.com/weyland which is http://www.starstarapps.com/weyland

likewise,
http://starstar.to/movie forwards to
http://foxmovies.starstarapps.com/
which is
http://www.starstarapps.com/
is http://foxmovies.starstarapps.com/prometheus
which is http://prometheus.starstarapps.com/
which is http://weyland.starstarapps.com/
which is http://markofthespiderman.starstarapps.com/ <- Smile
http://thedarkknightrises.starstarapps.com/
and so on.

hope this helps.


edited to add more info:

oog example of how this works:

saw an ad for **nhl (national hockey league), so via a browser typing http://starstar.to/nhl
leads to
http://mobile.gamecenter.nhl.com/?navid=nav-mbl-main

therefore, for every **keyword you want to try, point your browser to starstar.to/keyword.

no phone is required to try this, although you'll be missing out on any audio recording or text message.
