In this thread, nobody ever brought up such an assumption. So who are those "many other" people who also guessed that?

Yes, it was hosted on the site. If you came here a few days earlier you would have been able to see it for yourself.

I created this diagram June 30 and uploaded it here.

I think boone is absolutely correct and that any reference to radio antennae is nothing but wishful thinking. The passage from John 8:3-11 clearly indicates that we should be thinking about stoning. A FormSpring question asked (paraphrase) "What would you call me if I cast the first stone? The reply said "A Liar" ie. since we are all sinners we should not cast the first stone... etc.

Don't know what it is about tinypic images. they either take forever to load or refuse to load at all... might be because of where I live.

I'm honestly not sure. I have that one, but there are references to some file that was more or less accurate but "home" was misspelled.

maybe I'm just confusing myself.

made the rounds a while back. It was said to translate to "Are you home? Are you safe?" Someone asked about it on Formspring and they said it was a fake. They also mentioned that "Home" was spelled wrong. They didn't, however, say anything about the spelling of "You", implying the Y was used correctly. Before the new picture, that was the only hint at the Y symbol.

Does the same apply to the image that I uploaded? If it's not the case, I suggest all the people here uploading their images on http://imgur.com/. It's one of my favourite uploading site.

Thanks Boone! makes more sense now.
Your image came through fine, Arion! Thanks for the upload.
btw, I should have said "thank you" when you translated that conet file... that was very cool of you.

Here's another interpretation of the first diagram as an art piece that was posted on page 16 of this forum: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=a1mj2x&s=7

langauge recap?

Is there someone who can clearly explain how the letters in their language are being 'converted' into English alphabet letters? This seems to be the crux of the 'game' and I feel like if I had a grasp on how this was done I could help better.
Was the View6STCProgress.png the first entryway into the language? If so, how did we get from it to, say, this languagecheatsheet.jpg?

I saw this annotated version of View6, like most people, but I have no idea how it was created or what it was based on...

After all these thread pages (and I've read them all), there doesn't seem to be an actual coherent narrative about how these letters have been found - just bits and pieces of someone finding something and working from someone else's find. I'm not criticizing, just trying to catch up/be part of the solution....

Can anyone explain, at least in part, how we got here? This chart seems to be the most up-to-date rendering of the letters, but I still don't understand how the red glyphs were translated. Is everyone just starting from the annotated View6 that people say just showed up on 4chan? Does anyone actually know how it came to be?

I don't understand how we get the word "Convertable" here. Why do we assume "Eliminate" is a word when the rest of the message is scrambled?
Argh.

when did that image appeared? I mean cronologicaly, the first image with the glyph language was the view6progress, then the all "text" diagram, and then the one I'm quoting??

In that case you have a point the usage of the Y was correct, before it was confirmed to the general public, but what is weird is that on this image

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=20p7ygm&s=7

the glyph for "M" was revealed,as both, a completely new glyph and that it was the letter "M". On the fake image, they take the "double x" glyph as a "M" or even as a letter, but on the other diagram, is taken as a 3 or "#"

I'm starting to think the PM put the translated view6progress on 4chan, I do not think that someone without knowledge of the context for the group 8-3-11 was able to just guess what the glyphs meant

Edit: on the art instalation, someone mentioned the stoning ritual, the stones are attached to wire, causing the dummy to move, maybe the stones never hit the dummy because we all are sinners, so if we cast the first stone, that would make us liars

How View6ProgressSTC was translated

kosmopol wrote:

You're right, punxtr,

here comes new version.

Back on page 5 of this forum, "kosmopol" posted a pdf file which automatically filled in letters for identical glyphs. Enter a letter next to any glyph and all are filled in.

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32583&start=60

On page 8 of this forum "LastSasquatch" posted a translated diagram found on /x/

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32583&start=105

Both the original leak of the diagram and the translation posted on /x/ may or may not be intentional leaks. However, it seems (to me at least) very unlikely that the translation is incorrect since its it would have to me an amazing coincidence for it to be incorrect and yet so consistent.

Well, that's disheartening. I'm throwing things at the -68000 image to see I can discover anything else interesting.

This is all I know concerning the timing of the fake pic circulating: http://www.formspring.me/8X3X11/q/211326408356559192
