hmmm I’ve just realised that I’ve not been able to view the texture files at full detail through my current methods - when I’ve seen some of those pics before they’ve been incredibly pixelated at those levels of zoom - gonna see if I can find a way around this and I’ll check out some more possible leads
Yeah actually now that you mention it, this seems only natural. If we already know the number distribution then it can only be expected that (since effectively I’m really just looking at every fifth digit) the number groups follow the exact same distribution.
I guess it’s not that interesting after all.
Well, one thing we should check is the distribution for other skipping sequences. If we get the same results, it means the grouping is trivial, but if we do not, it means there really is a significance to the 5 digit grouping.
I’m gonna take a crack at the bible code theory, using the new life version and assuming book/chapter/verse format.
31529 - Leviticus 15:29 - On the eighth day she will take two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, and bring them to the religious leader at the door of the meeting tent.
63776 - Deuteronomy 37:76 - Does not exist.
Man, these things dead-end fast.
Most of the technology in the BMRF seems to be from “DALsystems”, possible anagram?
DALsystems has a website, but it’s setting off all sorts of security alarms on my browser and it’s obscured via robots.txt, so I think it’s a dead end.
3 would correspond to Numbers since 0 would correspond to Genesis. I tried it as book/chapter/verse/character and got nothing useful.
Genesis is numbered 0? I must not have done enough research, sorry.
This was in the Easter eggs thread…
I don’t think it’s been mentioned before. Relevant?
Cheers…

Blast…
Trying to get the correct link to the post.

Goddamn, I’m a developer and I didn’t even know about any of this shit.
That is not inspiring news. Then again this does seem to be only in Stormseeker’s maps…
We found that 2 days ago. And its:

Well there you have it folks. Nobody here has the slightest idea what’s going on.
I’m sorry to admit, I’ve read every post in this thread and got completely lost like 5 pages back.
Well, what we need are codes B and D now. Hopefully, when we get them, we can combine them with the other two, and then the whiteboard with the bottomley code on it will transform into a portal that takes us to a magical land made entirely of Tau cannon ammo and art assets for Xen.
But yeah, that’s pretty much what we have so far.
Are we even sure there is a ARG? Like we are just making stuff up? lol
Theres been a lot of false ARG with Teamfortress
Yeah, that’s about where we seem to have hit a wall and only those with extensive cryptology/math knowledge seem to be able to come up with theories at this point.
I’m seriously not joking when I say we need help from Stormseeker. I’m gonna go write him an angry PM.
What if Stormseeker is just trolling us hard, and there is no solution?!?!?
Aaand I can’t find Stormseeker’s forum account.
Edit: got it, but he’s not online ATM, so the waiting game begins.
