[Event] Seattle Drop - Friday Sept. 5th - 12:30 PM

PostLarval

This is probably the best way to go... my understanding of Chinook is definitely limited.

What I've already posted was just a quick translation from memory, and I simply haven't had the time to sit down with any of the online resources (real life will require a lot of me the next few days), but even when I do I wouldn't be completely confident of the accuracy.

For now, in order to locate the next drop, I suppose the last few lines are the ones to focus on. I'll hopefully have a moment later tonight to work on it, but if anyone else can do so too it would be good to have a second opinion.

Sorry for the double post, but I had a new idea...

I just noticed the two new pictures up on the SCOPE terminal. Looking at all four of them together, it reminds me of the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Hall of Fame, which are located up in Seattle (right near the Space Needle).

Chinook happens to be a native language of the Pacific Northwest... and in the line of Chinook that discusses where to go, the phrases 'singing/music' and 'rain' were used.

It's possible this is our next location. Hopefully a hunt through google images can confirm...

Okay, So I think it's agreed that Seattle's SFHoF will be the general location of the next drop. Exactly where at the museum is still TBD. There is a fifth image on the SCOPE terminal if it helps, though.

As for the date, I agree that the original date would have been today, Sept. 1st after or during the Bumbershoot concert. Bumbershoot=Umbrella=Rain Blanket. The new date is still in question. If the translation or the updated Chinook is correct, then the new date is 4 days after the concert; Friday, Sept. 5th.

The time is a little tricky. 12:30 would seem logical. I really think we need to have our translation checked. I still haven't received my confirmation for forum.americanindiantribe.com Has anyone else found a way of checking the translation?

The fifth image on the SCOPE terminal is the Wild River ride at the Fun Forest Amusement Park, which is located right behind EMPSFM.

Since the museum costs $15 get in, it makes sense that we'd be meeting someplace outside. So, I guess we wait for more SCOPE images to narrow the field... If need be, I can just show up and wander around, as long as we come to a consensus on the date and time. I can get behind Friday at 12:30, although getting confirmation from another source would be comforting.

We just got confirmation via 13lights.org that *something* will happen at 12:30 pm PDT on Friday Sept 5th. I think our drop date/time has just been confirmed.
