http://orbitalcolony.com ...I am not sure if this URL was previously known, as I did not really follow the related threads.

If you look at them a certain way, the symbols actually look like letters. People in #uf are telling me that you can rotate them 3/4 and something or other, but I didn't get it. But, after sapagoo said that the last three are COM, the rest was easy to figure out...

/me rubs his hands together in anticipa--


I saw the very art puzzle book this was based on in the bookstore the other week - check it out in Barnes and Noble. Somebody made an entire alphabet with these. Wish I could remember more about it...

... ah the wonders of Google.

Could this be the rabbit hole for the new joint "train the PM" ARG???
If I recall, wasn't there discussion about making it an "outerspace" colony or something?


hmmmmm.........check out one of the bidders' page:

widget puz?


I posted my spec on the 15th, the bid was made on the 17th. Guess they took my suggestion. Weeeeeee! New ARG, here we come.

 		rabbit holes are linked
Look at the other rabbit hole at ARGN home page. The honey appears to be linked to the Asteroid.

I though the asteroid was not linked at first, but the numerical tie in between the "godman777" sellers name and the "ladybee777@hotmail.com" address as the contact for the beekeeper is a lot to ask of coincidence.

 		orbital colony
So maybe Orbital Colony is just the meta site for the ARG and ilovebees.com is the actual ARG. Rose made an interesting observation in chat yesterday about bee hives being colonies.

OK, so is it TobI (Aware) or is it the mini ARG. Or are we talking about the one great over arching ARG we are all part of? Very Happy

After Sin_Vraal posted about the book, I went on searching a little further. Here is a page with all the letters, and if you click them individually (in the bottom menu bar), you can also see how they are 'made'. I have always had a hard time visualizing/interpreting 3D images, and without this chart I wouldn't be able to identify a single letter (well maybe except 'i' Smile) It just doesn't register with me for some reason...

 		OrbiCon, eh? The trailer intrigues me....we'll have to look out for this one. And maybe 777 is just a common PM number?

 		Yeah, the thread was placed here because, well, it belongs here... it's the original teaser that led us to orbitalcolony.com and the trailer for the first time.

 		I just thought I'd mention that the pictures are of the letters rotated 360 degrees around an axis on their left side.
