Brotherhood of the six - Hidden message?

This is bugging me, I brought up before on perplexcity's forum, but I've been looking again and there are deliberate errors everywhere on the www.brotherhoodofthesix.com website.

I can't make any sense of it, so far I have

'for it egeetehicm'

Doesn't look like much, but the start looks like English to me Rolling Eyes

Anyone else looked at this or have any thoughts? Before I completely lose the plot! *fwibble*

I think it's to indicate they're just a bit rubbish rather than a kloo.

I've looked and can only spot a couple of mistakes...

Can you be more specific?

Take us through page by page...

(There's the "believe" on the "What we believe" page. And on the same page at point 5 "true int eh universe")

Will do when I get home. Off the top of my head though the first 2 mistakes and the first or second pages are.

They write how we life the belief instead of live. Hence the f
Porgramme instead of programme. Hence the or

The rest I'll post when I get home and have a chance to look through.

OK here goes with what I've found.

Home page

Quote:
how we life that faith today"


Should be live, therefore we get an F

Quote:
Community outreach porgrammes


Should be programmes, thus the OR

History

Quote:
whiich is one with the universe


Additional I

Way of Life

Quote:
four festival int he year


From this we get T (possibly HE too?)

[not so sure about this bit]

Quote:
three days prayer, meditation.


Missing AND?

Quote:
a cheerful celbration


Missing E

Quote:
brining its enlightenment


Missing G

Quote:
the mystical alignement


Additional E

What we Beleive

Title is mispelt IE or EI?

Quote:
earthly desieres


Additional E

Quote:
presently incarnated


Not sure what they are trying to say, but should that not be incarcerated? If so we get N or CER

Quote:
int eh universe


Space error and spelling, therefore TEH?

JOIN US!!!

Quote:
of this over commerical festival


IC

Schedule

Quote:
upcomming events


M

Not sure what you get if you put all that together, but it looks something like

FOR IT (AND) EGEEIEN (or CER) THE ICM

Anyone else able to cast fresh eyes and see if there's anything in it or if I'm just getting paranoid about poor spelling?

EDIT: Corrected poor spelling! Embarassed Rolling Eyes

There is also the "answers" page but there doesn't appear to be any mistakes on that page...

Thank you for your well thought out and well presented argument! Laughing

I couldn't find anything on the answers page either. I've looked at it so many times now, I probably can't see the wood for the trees (or some other cliche!)

Yeah, incarnated is a word. Often used in a religious context to mean something being embodied, or giving human form. So you can cross those off your list.

I just couldn't see what they were trying to say with that? The cube is hidden it's not embodied or in any human form anywhere, unless I'm not 100% up on their beliefs?

Heh, you do get how religious groups work right? Usually something they consider divine is said to have an earthly form. People worship it. Etc.

Quote:
'''The Cube''' currently held without cause in the Perplex City Academy by those who do not venerate its ancient light is an incarnation of the One True Cube, whiich is One with the Universe.

Remember, this site is supposed to predate the theft of the cube.

I am courious about this though the "powers that be" are sticklers for spelling and punctuation and the make a website that looks like this? I'm thinking that it's either a red herring or their way of showing the Brotherhood in a ignorant and childish light. The errors been talked about in other threads I just wish I knew how to link to them. I'm sorry Embarassed

Oh dear, another round of spelling? Some of us working on Riemann went through an extended period of proof reading to no avail - seems rather silly in hindsight; I'm sure I know that card verbatim as a result, and made about 50 attempts at a solve. Cassandra, I believe, is documenting spelling errors from the Sentinel (C, you are my hero - that's amazing), and now the Brotherhood website? Not to suggest the line of inquiry isn't valuable, if only to rule it out, but how boring if it turns out to be true. I can tell you what the Brotherhood website is - crap. Eye-gouging, head-scratching, brain-mucking crap. What do you Brits say - "bollocks," is it? That's what this website is. B.S. Or it might be important.

Do carry on . . .

PS. - I hope the colors and typefaces aren't supposed to be relevant 'cause the coding sucks too, HTML errors that display text in the wrong color, etc.

Yes, but it's rubbish on purpose.

Still, it's better than some websites I've seen out there.
