Yeah, i know what your saying about the W but it was what fitted so i just plugged it in figuring it was just like the rest of the clues and had a mispelled word or out of place letter.

Since there was no other W in the code it seemed out of place. Well i guess it's another letter to go in the mispelled/misplaced list. Unless both of us got the translation wrong...

With the new image, and I missed a couple since yesterday, and the wingding ones I was working on, I suddenly got the 'feeling' of CAPTCHA. Obviously, there is the 'code breaking' side, but the CAPTCHA aspects make this a riddle of human intelligence. I think that is important to what is going to happen. My spidey senses I guess...

I also hope the whole 80808 aspects somehow involves really clean and deep 808 kick drums.

Penguin, here is the link to the game site. It is also at the bottom of the thread. It is the words "What is the Conspiracy?" at the bottom...

Hey Riddler, what are all the mispelled/misplaced letters? Maybe you could post a list for us?

For those of you that may have missed some images and are a little behind, this is something i think might help to catch up and for later on...

To the best of my knowledge here is what i got that is misplaced/mispelled...






Missing= U E S (these three being from the first word "questions") I (this as well)
Misplaced= V (from the word "will")

Also, the word "BE" is missing in between "will" and "ten".

Another:






This is what we translated the image into using the Wingdings font:

"Dxix bvqyskxi
Yihjswwat rpxrjvsgq,
Qwfpjvwgq nvxfb hivmxq,
Ysthfxjx qsfpjvgq
Bxfvkxi ysgyfpbvgw
Yinhjswizhd qjzjxtxgj."

Translated to what we belive is...

"Here discover
cryptogram questions,
solutions yield prizes,
complete solutions(?)
deliver concluding
cryptograph statement."

Missing letters from Cryptogram = Y O
Misplaced letters from Cryptogram = R A Q S O O Z


Another:






This is what we translated the image into:


A N D N O W Y O U M U S T
0 Y M Y G W 4 G 5 7 5 F C

W A I T U N T I L A U G U S T
D 0 8 C 5 Y C 8 B 0 5 J 5 F C

T H E E I G H T
C N 9 9 8 J N C


Misplaced= W

From what myself and Kellter came up with the letter D=W but the only W in the puzzle we think also = W...the W we think is misplaced

D=W
W=?


To the best of my knowledge this is the total of what i came up with for the missing or misplaced letters...


Missing= U E S I Y O B E
Misplaced=V R A Q S O O Z W

If anyone has any discrepensies or new information feel free to let me know and i will be happy to revise the list...

Good job on collecting the information. I'm going to play around with the missing/out of place letters and see if I can come up with anything.


I still refuse to wait until August the eight.

reply to post by TheRiddler


Thanks a lot. That'll come in handy for catching up...

Wow.

I've read all 27 pages posted so far. This is very interesting. I'll be glad to help in any way I can.

reply to post by TheRiddler


Don't forget to add to the total that the word "BE" is missing from the first one.

Ok, admit it, who's trying to solve the new border glyphs.




I'm sure it doesn't pertain to "the game" but it must be there for a reason?

It looks to me like there is a picture behind this thread. If you look at the very top, it says what is the conspiracy and there is a green glow behind "is the", on my computer, the glow also comes out from the sides but it doesn't cover the whole page, only a little. I'm not sure if this has any significance to the game or not. Does anyone know how to look behind this thread and see if there is a picture, kinda looks like something they would put on "the mole".

Where did you find that?

Yeah that must be it, sorry about that.

Hello all, and great work on the clues so far.... i wish i had a lot more time to dedicate to this...

I noticed that the glyphs on the borders of the home page only show up once, but when i click anywhere, it disapears, along with the "WHAT IS THE CONSPIRACY" LINK AT TOP OF SCREEN.

when i clear my cookies and temp internet files, then log back in to ats, I SEE THEM AGAIN.

Ok, you got me interested so I gave it a shot. I couldn't get anything out of it, so I figure the two are unrelated.

It looks like a specific font type to me. As I said earlier, according to the last puzzle we need to wait until Aug 8. But just for fun, the edges do look like they may be words.

I have been following this thread, looks exciting.

I have had a few tries at the glyphs on the side of the forum, using the frequency of the different shapes to get some possible words. I haven't had much luck, here is the best i got for a possible start:

(read it from the bottom up. The numbers are just what i used to represent the different shapes. Duplicate numbers mean a duplicate shape)

1
2
3 s
4
5 t



6 e
7 h
5 t

9
10
11
12 o
6 e
2
13
10 y
14
15
1

3 s
16 a
7 h


3 s
17
18
9

4
19
20
12 o
18
21

22 u
12 o
10 y

--------

That gets the words " you has the" in the 3 shapes grouping of glyphs. I guess we need to focus on the 3 word groupings to start with. I started working with the glyphs reading from the top, but could never find a solution to get words in the 3 groupings of 3 glyphs so tried reading bottom up like Chinese people do (Olympics reference maybe).

Gotta go bed now sadly, hope that helps someone.
