Also, there is no sign of "8-3-11" in the picture which is somewhat odd.

OK, people, I did some kind of translating tool.
This is an editable PDF, where you can enter the letters in the blue squares - and it will be updated everywhere under the same sign.

Try out various variables. If I made some mistakes, please correct me - the most difficult was this "Spanish" alike sentence on the right with ¿...?
You can save this PDF even with Adobe Reader (and you can open it only with Adobe Reader).

I just don't know, which language it is - try the languages you know Wink

That is very helpful. I think there is an error though. The half heart-shaped symbol for the title string. It only appears in the title string once, but if you put in a value for it, the pdf copies that value into the third and fourth place of the second word. It should only copy a value into the third place/letter.

I've counted the "half-heart" 5 times, once in the title, once in the left word, ad i also counted the "looped Y" as the same glyph, but I'm not sure of that last thing.

Well, I'm replacing the glyphs by random letters just so everyone works on the same thing.

Title : ABCD. ECFGA HBCAI

Left : JCFDKIALBM

Bottom-left : NOFLHD AONH ELTG ELFH

Right : PHFGKPI KILMB?PQKROH

One more thing : it's not an existing language using its own alphabet, most of the glyphs aren't in the extended characters table.

By the way, we could think about what is actually drawn... It seems to be a device able to tilt when you pull on one of the cables... But what the hell is drawn in the "head" ?

Aw, triple post, sorry about it Confused

I noticed the right thing between questionmarks features all of the 3 'P' and 3 'K' out of 4, although containing less than a third of the glyphs. I really think it's in another language than the rest of the words.

Agree, I think it is not English. If it were really Resident Evil, there was that fictional Spanish alike language in the Easter Europe (??? - whatever) in the Wii Resident Evil. I have this, and sometimes, after work I chiil out with some riffles... you know Very Happy

Yes, this is good question. I mean, the picture is not findable through google. But is located at 8-3-11-Server. So this is official, but who spreads the news about hidden official items?

Perhaps this is the first task we should solve?
Or perhaps somebody was accepted as recruit, get some tasks with online contents and is now is whistle-blowing them around Very Happy

ive been doing some research on it too (obviously)
and i came across this image. the url is directly linked to the site but there's no actual "LINK" for you to press to view this image. im not familiar with web designing but how is it possible for this image to be link to the site without any paths?

pic related; http://www.8-3-11.info/View6ProgressSTC.png "

Might this be related to booba's observations?

I can sort of see a human figure wearing a helmet?

We are 8•3•11. I am 175,000. There is also 68,000, 18,000, 21,000, and the others.


So that's for the 18,000'' signature.

Also, my question :

Nobody seems to have asked... Who is the girl ?

Everybody has asked that.


I'm reading the 4chan board to see if someone gets to something interesting, but nothing yet.

@booba : I see a sort of puppet too, maybe some sort of scarecrow ?

Edit : on 4chan someone viewed the metadata from "Belle M..png". Although I couldn't do so, he said that the image was created in june 1999, if it's true this site is definitely a fake trailhead, various creepy contents put together. And they're leading us in various wrong ways : the smurfs, the Bible verse (they're all hooked on it at 4chan), the book "Alberta", and so on.

EXIF data or metadata doesn't have any date or really any information at all. Remember, /x/ likes to exaggerate things for the sake of making it creepier.
