 		Oh, you meant the "Further Zodiac communications" section? It might have made more sense to link there. Razz

 		Long time lurker, first time poster, yadda yadda bump in the night.

But on a serious note, I seem to remember something about immigration to America in the late 1800's/early 1900's. The officials that looked over every immigrant to assess their health made chalk markings on their clothing, and if memory serves, a circle with an X through it meant that the immigrant was almost certainly mentally ill. Perhaps the symbol acts as a veiled hint at the mental toll the presence of The Operator takes on you? I also remember that if someone got that specific mark, they had to go before some sort of council to see if they could still be allowed entry into the country. No real theories revolving around that, maybe somebody a bit more attentive to detail can help me here.

Sorry if this theory already came up once, haven't seen it anywhere yet.

- Just trying to give a hint that a minute of looking may show you that the EXACT TOPIC already exists and that perhaps does not warrant yet another new topic.

 		Having the mark could be to remind people he was present now.

 		 What you think the Operator Symbol means?
Okay, first of all FIRST POST ErMEHGERD LOL!!11!

Anyway, I don't know if this thread has been done before or not but here goes:
What do you think the Operator Symbol (The circle with an X through it) stands for?

Personally, I think it's a signature for those who have been targeted by The Operator (Hence Alex drawing it everywhere). Basically, the circle represents the Operator, mainly his face. The X is crossing it out, or implying that it isn't there.
Therefore, "No face."
What do you guys think?

 		I think it's possible that they've contacted eachother, but I think that the symbol is sigil for those targeted by The Operator. TTA seems to be more fascinated as opposed to targeted by Slendy.
