Mega PROPS to all the speedies who got "traitor"! (Not me) Earlier when I opened the original JPEG with WinRAR it revealed the "wow_you_found_it.jpg" zip-file.

My computer showed it as a corrupted file even after I rebuilt it. Mentioned this to shapeLITE480. Reckon that's why he was kind enough to post the 2nd image for us.

Ohhh that's explains it. Well lord knows that if I had needed to manipulate the original image to extract the second image, I never would have even gotten that far.

 		Well danteIL, am blown away you translated it so quickly. After I saw your fine work I submitted "Judas" just to have a small chip still in the game. Laughing

Well I discovered that Google Translate, bless its heart, has a "Cyrillic keyboard" option that becomes available if you ask it to translate from Russian. So it was just a matter of typing in the letters and seeing what popped out. I still had to Google the result to get the English, but it made it a lot easier.

In other news, apparently I did "win" and now shapeLITE seems to be going off his rocker a bit:
Quote:
Gavrilo Princip was a man of divided loyalties.He picked the WRONG one to serve. He was FILTHY AND FALSE.


I'm guessing that the second picture is Princip, the assassin.

What's interesting is that it wasn't in Russian Cyrillic, it was in Serbian Cyrillic. And Ferdinands assassin was a Serbian.

Yeah I thought so Smile When I hadn't been able to find a j on the Russian Cyrillic alphabet I looked up others and found the Serbian one.

LOL I took the long way in translation.

 		With the new video and the new letters it looks like we're getting parts of a message that are filling out slowly.

The first letters were O U M N ST the second O OU DM IN STT adding a couple of letters to the first message. I don't think it's something to decode, it's more a wait and see kind of thing.

On a side note, the twitter has been talkative again today. I made a comment about one of their statements being a ambiguous and they replied

Quote:
Ambiguity Ms. Akui... How about some black and white? Before November I will kill someone and you will watch.

 		I got randomly followed by the twitter account, I didn't know what to think after the latest tweet, so I had to dig around here LOL... Glad it's part of an existing thing, and not some randomly creepy dude.
It looks like I have got some reading and catching up to do, I am curious.
I didn't really have much time to devote to ARG right now (which is why I never rejoined This Is My Idea), but sucked into another rabbit hole I go....
Shocked
