[Trailhead?] Solution6, Seeleops

I found this website in reddit. Apparently, the only thing there is a link to this other website, which has a countdown on it. There's also this Twitter account for the second website and this Youtube channel.

The videos on the youtube channel are SSTV signals: http://imgur.com/a/22Ux3 which are simply encoded with ROT13.

Now, from the source code of the url in the last image, you can find another video
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
with 6 audio channels. Each one is another SSTV signal (except for the 4th one, which is actually silent). You can find them here: http://imgur.com/a/dXeTR Three of them use ROT13 too, but the other two I've been unable to decode. I'm pretty sure I've seen something like that 4th picture before but I can't seem to remember. Any ideas?

So I've not properly looked into the rabbit hole yet or had a go at any puzzles, but the first thing I take from this is that it's definitely related to Neon Genesis Evangelion - Seele as a company, NERV and the logo are all off that.

I'm interested in this. One question though, what is the best tool for decoding SSTV signals? EDIT: I'm using MMSSTV, which seems to do the trick.

having decoded the first image I'ma bit concerned:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Do not be concerned #GamerGate
For there is reason to this
madness.

After all we have been through
this is something which
is indeed weary of which
to be asked.

But ask I must.
I ask for your trust, for when
the time comes, all will be clear.

seeleops.org/nerv


The mention of #GamerGate is putting me off.

Either this is an ARG based on Neon Genesis Evangelion, or a promotional one for the last film in the rebuild series. SEELE is the organisation behind NERV in the anime and films, I know these are related to the ARG because the seeleops.org/nerv page has the sound only 01 along with the seele logo and music from Evangelion. If ANYONE has seen the show and thinks they have the login/password, please try. We have 1 day and 13 hours at the time of this posting before "operation maria" begins. get ready

EDIT: STAY AWAY, this is NOT AN ARG, turns out #solution6 is just another gamergate operation and seeleops is a front for it. What you stumbled upon is not an ARG, it is an operation that is "illegal in 10 UN countries" from some posts I have read about that hashtag.

Yeah after seeing two different references to GamerGate, I stopped. I want nothing to do with those misogynists.

well, whatever "operation Maria" is, we shall find out in a little over a day and 10 hours. I can tell you this, it is one of gamergate's biggest operations yet, it even has some of their own shaken.

The insignia for "Wall Maria" is a reference to the anime "Attack on Titan".

It turns out that this "potential" ARG is NOT related to what other people were referring to (what I said about the UN countries). I noticed the solution6 twitter saying that this is a benevolent venture, seems to me like the hashtag just gets used a lot so it is hard to discern what is part of the ARG and what is not. YES, it is run by members of gamergate, but it is not anything bad.

In which case I want nothing to do with it.
