David--

While I appreciate the effort you have put into your research, it seems simply infeasible that the answers we seek to this puzzle in IEEE Transactions, or any highly-advanced computer programming system or hyper-mathematical code. In the end, this is an advertising campaign, and as such, it must remain accessible to the public-at-large; not everyone need participate, but everyone interested must be able to participate. Complex algorithms and programming caters to a seletct few. It would be like putting the Dos Equis commercials in Latin, where anyone could watch it, but only a select few could enjoy.

There are three possible paths to this puzzle. The first is that we have not received all the clues yet to a fifteen-letter phrase that probably starts with "ENCOM," as I mentioned before. The second is that the method has little to do with letters, but still uses some method of combination, "connect-the-dots," or image that we have yet to figure out. The third path is that we have all the clues we are going to get.

Here's something I was looking at recently. Have you tried to divide the combined series in half (7.5 on one, and then the other) and then mirroring the images? It looks suspiciously like numbers to me.

Clues to convention center layout theory: good thought, but it's not wide enough to the length to represent the booth layout.

Person who asked about whether card codes are similar: my ArcWars code is identical to the one here. So it's much more likely a puzzle piece than an entry code, imo.

This dawned on me yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to post; the dots really remind me of how numbers work on a digital clock. I really think that if we get a correct overlay (and we may still be missing postcards, there may be a 2nd wave), it will spell something for us. It's simple but not immediately apparent, and requires co-operation; seems like an ARG puzzle solution to me. I think a lot of times ARG players are smarter than the designers, and think up all kinds of cool stuff they never would have

To make it easier, could we use graph paper (for those who don't have Excel)? It's difficult to capture the code WHILE shining a blacklight on it.

That's my current idea, anyhow. I love the Space Invaders someone found in the white space too XD

I still like ENCOMGAMESECTOR1... yes I put a '1' at then end mostly because there's a large enough empty area at the end on all the scans to easily fit it in while leaving the margin intact.

I didn't make that image. jasongreeno did. But thanks for crediting me anyway LOLOL

my guess is that that site is OOG...if you look at his other blog posts, you see one talking about the movie...and i thought that didnt happen in an ingame site..

but then again..im still an ARG newbie..so i could be wrong..

and within probably the first 10 or so pages of this topic i observed that not only are many of his posts from a TRON fan's POV, but also, the video game programmer's name is the same as a member of Journey...a reference they wouldn't have made so obvious.

Suggestion:

if we didn't ever seen.

add the squares of a card to another would it have been possible?
-I don't think so.

-I think every card can decrypt alone.

Now the questions are :


• Why the code is not the same on all cards?
  and
  
• How decrypt the cards ?

Is this any use?
