How did you get that?


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I uncsrambled it. 2 question marks + 2 capital W's made me think it was 2 questions, hopefully just scrambled. I just didn't realize that it was the same question twice for a while.

It looks it was actually just the sentence overlapped with itself, but offset and in reverse.


Still have no idea on the second tweet.

 		Ok here is the "Map" that I have worked out. This is based on the information collated on the Google Docs spreadsheet.

Butterfly Signora is located at 10A which is designated as ROUGH.
The static location is 11A# which is designated as MODERATE.

So here are some movements mapped out on the above map. Can someone double check these against the broadcasts?
Code:
+------------+-----+---------+----------+---------+----------+---------+--------+----------+----------+----------+----------+
| Forecast's |  1  |    2    |    3     |    4    |    5     |    6    |   7    |    8     |    9     |    10    |    11    |
+------------+-----+---------+----------+---------+----------+---------+--------+----------+----------+----------+----------+
| Lioness 1  | 5A# | 2F# (N) | 2D (N)   | 2C# (W) | 4E (W)   | 4D# (W) | 4D (W) | 4C# (W)  | 3E (W)   | 3D# (W)  | 3D (W)   |
| Yugito 2   |     |         |          | 7E      | 5D (E)   | 5E (E)  | 6D (E) | 6E (E)   | 7D (E)   | 7E (E)   | 5D (E)   |
| Thou 1     |     |         |          |         |          |         |        | 5C#      | 7G# (SW) | 10B (SW) | 10D (SW) |
| Reginald 1 |     |         |          |         |          |         | 13D    | 13A# (N) | 13B (E)  | 13C (E)  | 11A (E)  |
| Lazenby 1  |     | 13D#    | 13B (N)  | 10G (N) | 10D# (N) | 10B (N) | 7G (N) | 7D# (N)  | 7B (N)   | 4G (N)   | 4D# (N)  |
| Wriggler 2 | 5G  | 5A (NW) | 4D# (NW) | 4C# (W) | 3D# (W)  | 4C# (E) | Collided with Absurdus in 4C# turn 6    |          |
+------------+-----+---------+----------+---------+----------+---------+--------+----------+----------+----------+----------+

The Bracket direction is what was moved to get to current location. The number after their name is how many spaces they move.

Trying to plot Absurdus's journey just doesn't hold up? And I can't see why. Especially when all the others do.

Any thoughts on the above? (Attached is from my spreadsheet with colours for Slight, Moderate and Rough)

 		Based on what Netlurker2 has posted I'm going to keep going South to see what happens. I sent Admin an email to let him know I'm continuing South (hopefully kick the broadcast into gear).

Until then I'm posting every forcast I have here just for reference in case someone needs one. I know some of these are on the dropbox but I wanted them all in one post of mine just in case. Please add the missing ones to the dropbox as it's nice to have them someone archived.

 		Nice! The map definitely makes sense when laid out that way. Netlurker, are you THOU? We don't have a callsign for you yet.

Also, you might need to convert the Rough storm in 10A to Slight or Moderate before you land there.

Edit: I think NetLurker mentioned yesterday that he would be asleep around now, so I called in a Slight Storm for 10A (Butterfly Signora), just in case that's where they're set to move. We still haven't really seen how the added storms affect the map, so hopefully he'll survive.

 		I changed the Forecast Map to use NetLurker's layout, but it might have some errors. I didn't check too closely. It makes a lot more sense now (all of the directions actually move you in that direction).

I did notice that some of the moves didn't work correctly (IDSYS and Reginald in Forecast 8; Wriggler is just all over the place).

Hey Manspider, no I am not THOU. I have not chosen to join the "game" with a character yet. I am tempted to though. I don't always have free time so I don't want to let the game down by not being able to give it the time that it deserves. Currently I am happy to just help out with the puzzles. Starting to get the hang of thinking outside the box and attacking problems from different angles.

BTW do we know who Solitare is? Just interested as they are designated as A61 (Australia) and that is where I am too. Just curious where they are. Smile

I am glad that "Map" made sense but really want to figure out why not all the moves match up. I will go back over all the forecasts and confirm the movements as I think the Google doc has a few that don't match my spreadsheet. Will let you know.

Really want to find out what those ciphers in the FB pictures are for.

That's Solartary, who posted a couple pages back (link).

Beyond the old unsolved number ciphers, I don't know if we have any open unsolved ciphers. I hope they weren't hidden in the facebook images with steganography. Facebook is pretty good at stripping steganography.

The one remaining place I can think of is in the musical tracks from the AMNA stream. There are a couple that have mostly single notes, but I don't think anyone ever tried transcribing them.

 		Yeah I've tried running a few of the more recent FB images through multiple steganography scans, but I'd also read about how FB tends to mess those up.

I'd be willing to take a stab and running scans through all the Radionomy music, just it may take some time to get them all downloaded.

 		No one knows who THOU is because it's likely that it's still Wriggler since his designation is still QPLR. The same as I was able to he just renamed and jumped back in. If the number designations are to be followed he was the first one in this which makes me think he's someone involved in this more directly or someone who was here before us since QPLR has been mentioned a few times and he was involved a lot in the game that came before this one. But he has never been identified.

 		Hey guys, I have been following this for about a week now and have read most of this thread. I want to try to get involved but I'm not sure how I can. Should I try sending them an email or filling out that survey?

 		Given the lack of information regarding QPLR even though he has been present since before this revival, I agree he must be a story character.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Now what his role is is a large mystery still and some information regarding his first death has since been removed (Opus Movement II) by the PM or the hosting site, adding to the informational gaps.

The message on the Ascensionism Records site warning to stop doing something to QPLR is likely from the Opus phase, though it isn't clear when.


Just had 2 new death alerts via Twitter/Facebook:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
#161464 KILLED IN PRISON RIOT.
#161472 KILLED IN PRISON RIOT.

IDSYS tried sending Admin an info request:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Request information for Call Sign Signora.

Admin replied:
#161459
CALL SIGN: SIGNORA

The long survey doesn't appear to currently play direct relation to current events outside of recognizing the results triangle/pyramid.

Things you can do:
- Answer the current poll: https://strawpoll.me/4871338/
- Choose to join the map game by emailing adminSPLATascensionismrecords.com asking to Ascend.
- Help us keep an eye on the Facebook, Twitter, and Radionomy sites for clues.
- If you have knowledge of ciphers, we have a handfull of number strings with no clear solution too.

 		Anyone else get a message from the ascensionism admin? I'm wondering if it was triggered by landing on 10A#, but we haven't seen Forecast 12 yet.

I guess that makes the sculptor, which I think is pretty cool.

I'm surprised that Lazenby and Solitare are dead. Lazenby (Ecowatcher) disappeared a while ago and Solitare just joined.

 		IDSYS says their last contacts were all normal. Nothing distorted.

You've been sending storms though, right? Maybe that is a factor?

 		I was looking at their website and they have a link that allows you to redeem a code on bandcamp. The code has to be 8 characters with a dash in the middle. Do we have any codes that match this?
