insanity Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Trolling the forums lately and I was in the base camp one, which most of you probably know has a good bit of spam going on. So I thought I'd read the threads... not the threads themselves, but the names... together... Right now you have.. "Points in three games leading up to the final four, Product sampling variations and types, a culturally defined new features of Iphone to end the days-long barriers to sending people comouflage painted...." I'm kinda of dissapointed that I can never know what is camouflage painted, that you can send on the Iphone and is culturally defined while also relating to product sampling.. and where the Final Four fits into this puzzle. I'm off to solve the mystery... perhaps it shall be in the next set of messages. Or maybe it's just more pieces to an existential puzzle we'll never solve.

Anim07734 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Maybe you're reading them in the wrong order? Did you try the order they show up on the list or the order they were posted (oldest first by timestamp)?

emyerson Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I ran it through Google Translate (English -> Spanish -> Arabic -> Maori -> English) and got this: "Select the product range of the first three in their last four games, and the changes that are unique to the new iPhone at the end of the long bar to send the camouflage paint." I think we're closer to solving this. 1 Quote Archer | Fencer | Painter | DMA call to adventure...Level 3 Ranger - Current Challenge [2] [1]STR: 7 | DEX: 8 | STA: 7 | CON: 10 | WIS: 2 | CHA: 3 Link to comment

I shall wait for another intercept...

SPRFTLFGCUNILBSCP It's all there in black and white, friends. We now have a new intercept, this one is small... merely one post. "Elsewhere in the villain lineup, Statham" Someone telling "Statham" that the villain is somewhere else in the lineup. Is this an actual lineup, or a hierarchy of villains. With yours... "Changes unique new Iphone" - Hidden IPhone 7 announcement? Long Bar send camouflage paint - Maybe it's not long bar, but Long Beach, a beach is kind of like a sand bar... and someone there needs Camo paint sent to them. Pretty much any style of camo paint would be useful there, so there's no way of determining a possible plan if we don't know the colors needed... "Select Product Range, First Three, Last Four Games" Looking at it like this, someone has to select a product range, the first three selections will last four games... what games? Using the camo paint one, possibly war games.... Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

insanity Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Latest intercepts... Conciousness of Health Drinks Valued - Are health drinks alive? Best screensaver for iphone - again the iphone... Prepared in the traditional - This will go in the random piles, it doesn't make any immediate sense with the bits we have now. Keeping hopes alive in the dark - Psychology factor here, when it's dark it's easy to lose hope, especially in combat. Maybe references back to the "camo" portion and possible war games. There is sufficient evidence - Possibly combines with the "earthquake" portion below They seem to be smarting up as well, they're using different channels to send parts of the message. I found this in the "Introductions" section. earthquake by donating to the Red Cross - This combined with "There is sufficient evidence" could refer to a possible cause of the earthquake, maybe a possible way to have stopped it... the missing section really leaves it open to lots of interpretation. This also appears to be a new form of communication as the message appears to be intermixed with a repeat message. This is what I found after removing the blue text, was a tricky one, took a while to find the pattern. sneak their way into meeting one of their idolsnew episode on Thursday, which promises to be hilarious, as Sheldon and Leonard attempt to sneak onto George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. The upcoming episode, which is aptly titled The Skywalker Incursion, will focus on Sheldon and Leonard as they sneak their way into meeting one of their idols, reports The Hollywood Hills. sneak their way into meeting one of their idolsnew episode on Thursday, which promises to be hilarious, as Sheldon and Leonard attempt to sneak onto George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch.

It would appear that Sheldon and Leonard a leading a possible rebellion against this "Skywalker Ranch" Is Lucas a tyrant, dictator, or just a rather unlikable person in Sheldon and Leonard's eyes?
