I tried mirroring the UE_join.jpg's left side onto the right side to make it symmetrical, then set the three Levels variables to the red numbers in anti.gif. No dice. Zip, zoodle. Then I tried adjusting the levels all over the place. Nothing.

I've layered UE_join over welcome.jpg and rotated/filtered it to death. Nothing. The dots don't even match without resizing, and with GIMP, that's an exercise in frustration because the top layer instantly becomes opaque upon stretching, preventing accurate aim.

I also tried matching up the left side of the star with the right side to maybe see if the left side was some sort of see-through decoder you could use to detect something hidden on the right side, and I used every layer mode available. Still, nothing. I've rotated the hell out of it, resized it, levelled it, contrasted it, layered the left side over itself in every layer mode, I even made a translucent composite of anti.gif white equation-box over the box from the original .swf of the box with the ? in it that pulsates when you mouse over it. It made the anti.gif text a lot more readable, but ultimately useless. (Of note: the big pink LHC eye in Exposed fits the sword crest in the center. Coincidence?)

... Maybe if I put "MINDF**K" under it in big letters, and underneath that put "When you see it you'll sh*t bricks", and propagated it on 4chan, I might get a result.

Going over the news report again.

I says "...the entire city has been quarantined. The A B EPACK* corporation headed by the U.E.C..."

*Or something thereabouts

What if this corporation owns the seemingly private U.E.C. If this is true, we may have a way in.

Mirrored the right part of uec join image and adjusted brightness. Didn't find anything interesting except the !WOW! part and strange black dots between the star and the soldier's shade.

P.S. I dont think it's World of Warcraft related

The TIMSMIT poster is a fraud : he's actually a french guy on some blog, pretending to be Tim Smit so people work on what he wants...

I realized that Timsmit was an imposter from the very beginning. I just thought it still was a good idea to look into the ad anyways because I was confused about the three dots on the ad.

Plus Timsmit never posted on unfiction before, and especially as a guest. Can't say idiots aren't a reason not to find finding new data.

Even though he's a retarded male/female/shemale/alien/George Bush, he did point us in a possible right direction.

He could've just asked: "Did you notice ze left star half, Monsieur?".

French prick... Razz

I like how he admits he's stupid, and we're smart. That made my day.

Well duh. It goes against the forum rules for the PM to post past the initial trail head, which is how I could tell it wasn't TIMSMIT. The reason I stopped bothering was because everyone just started doing whatever some "guest" account asked them to.

The rules ----> http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6859

I have mirrored an "exposed" image, I can clearly see the face/totem or whatever it is Smile Please try to see it upside down as well, maybe it does remind you something... i think it might also be just a coincidence though...

Most likely coincidence. human brains are programmed to see faces. Smile
