Why are we not trying to figure out the diagram? Even if we don't know what it says we could at least try to figure out what it is.

I think who ever posted the torso thing was on the right track.

Looking at that picture, I think it's a diagram for a radio tower. Looking closely at the center of the "head," you'll see a small hatched box. Also emanating from the "head" are waves, which could be sound or radio. Furthermore, looking at the bottom of the figure, I think the lines with the squiggles in the middle are a standard way of marking grounds in a circuit diagram. As for the characters, methinks they be Russian or some variant.

Full disclosure: I'm only a musician who uses way too many pedals and has Russian friends. Take what I say with a grain of salt.

Trout me, if you can, but

~18,000

I'm relieved in some kind. I was temped to send them an application, but it would mean perhaps participation, and participation - even if this is really cool state of beeing - would deny me to write in this board or in my blog anymore. I'd better be observer.

And:

does mean perhaps: this diagram was actually leaked. Whatdyothink?

Yes. Everything you need to know is already hosted.


So the glyphs picture is definitely a clue leaked too early. Any way to retrieve other unlinked elements from their host ?

Hey guys, I don't know what progress you've made, but a bunch of us at /x/ have been trying to solve the mystery, too. I've catalogued most of our progress on my blog:

http://terriblygoodstuff.blogspot.com/

And here's the current thread where we're having our discourse:
http://boards.4chan.org/x/res/8019813#8020626

If you guys have any information we don't, I'd love to here it, and help if I can. Here's my email:

Interesting stuff, Allen.

But my advice: to be a little bit cautious.
Not because I'm against solving mysteries (I love solving mysteries Smile), but just because the data of the PMs (or registrants of the domain) could be very meta and very out-of-game. I had some experiences, as whole ARGs were collapsed, just because players were smart enough to find the puppet masters in personae, and this was not really intended by puppet masters. (Hehe, actually puppetmasters often don't know, how smart players are).

I know it also from PM perspective, since I once made a little ARG, and all my very sofisticated riddles were solved in minutes!

So if we will continue to dig the privat information of PMs (if it is personal information), there is a probability the whole thing will collaps.

Perhaps we really have to wait till August, otherwise there will nothing happen.

P.S. Your blog is interesting, and Zapata Letters story is awesome. I think I cannot sleep this night. Smile

Ok, so I got into this today. I can't remember if it was in here or on 4chan but someone said they're not using numbers from the bible.
18,000 is mentioned 7 times in the bible. I'm not sure if the numbers should be looked at in a numerological sense. I'll keep looking to see if there is anything behind the numbers though.

About those numbers...

18,000
21,000
68,000
175,000

18+21=39
68x2=136
39+136=175.

And then I don't know what to do. Could be nothing. The "68x2" part throws off the simplicity, but even so it's not that difficult to put together. Hell, I saw it absent my first cup of coffee:p

It may have been one of the accepted applicants. Hence, fear of a leak statement.

Someone asked in their formspring about their writing and alphabet, they answered that they use their own language with its own alphabet and grammar. Perhaps only the accepted ones can know what is written on the viewprogress-picture.

So far I've been asking a ton of pointed questions. Most don't get through. That one did.

Hmm...just for shits and giggles, I decided to create a formspring account (which is http://www.formspring.me/argfollower) and ask them this:

I will update when I get a response.
