Anyone still hunting?

What Latin?!?! Bungie has been using Latin before they even started thinking about this new IP. Conspire what you want, but I think it's more of a just Bungie being traditional by using Latin for their new game, rather than hint at something by using that said Latin.

Find me a some evidence that Bungie is using Latin specifically for Destiny and not just because they're Bungie, then we'll talk.

Edit: I asked the Bungie Mail Sack, and it seems there isn't a correlation between the use of latin and their new IP. See the very last question.

Great find Sep7ember,

"frog blast the vent core"  kind of stands out to me...

Scetcycle,nightcrafter,and myself spent some time about a year ago grenade jumping up into all of the vents we could find and following them as far as they went.

They all turned up to dead ends though.

I wonder what the vent "CORE" is,and where it could be.

Might be worth some looking into....

Frog Blast the Vent Core is actually a phrase. It's just a saying that Bungie has had since Marathon.

I'm going to be mildly offensive and use the generic term "you guys" but...

You guys should put together a video guide or perhaps a post on one of the major Bungie/Halo websites (HBO, Bnet, Waypoint) about the Plynths or Glyphs or whatever.  I have no idea what you guys are talking about, but if it's some sort of weird in-game mystery I'm sure a lot of people are going to be interested.  Just a thought.

[Scatcycle]

We have guides on these things here. Unfortunately, many guides are still in development and have been "halted" due to a lack of work. We should really finish those...

hey peeps
Also new to the forum, but have been following for a while and hunting with Sep7ember for even longer,
Just saying hi to all and we are very much still hard at work, I believe we have missed a huge Easter egg in the odst and believe the j banners and controller possibly hold the key as to my knowledge they have not been fully cracked? correct me if I'm wrong please?
I think we should all have 1 last push before destiny appears.
my reason is this http://www.gruntspajamas.com/forum/index.php?topic=1738.0
the letter from Dan miller is it me or did he say "yes you have missed something and its glyph related" at the time every1 seemed to be more focused on bobs? again please correct me if I'm wrong?
Anyhow greetings all
jedichef

He does imply that there IS a secret, along with that he himself doesn't even know what it is. I don't think there's ever been a recorded sighting of the di/mono glyph since the first month of ODST so honestly I'd guess it's been patched or something. QTA may possibly still be at large, but I remember seeing that there was a QTA (quick time application) released on 06/12, hence the VI XII. There's also the random detonator at the bottom of Oni Alpha Site, which we haven't been able to do anything with.

But the fact that it's this late and no one has found anything yet just goes to show one of two things: It's not there, or it's hidden with extreme/excessive work. With the amount of games spent on ODST in Mombasa streets, someone would have found it most likely by chance. So I'd guess it's one of those nonsense things where you have to jump through a bunch of rings in a random order. There's not much we can do about that.

Thanks for the reply Scratcycle.
I personally am of the opinion that its been very well hidden and that we've missed it.
Why would they patch it out??
The thing that is bugging me is, there seems to be so many seemingly dead ends.
There is a lot of info on the controller that has amounted to nothing however it seems to relate to the camera's in Sadie's story and there's nearly an hour of footage, which I believe was created by a bunch of guys who specialised in making ARG. I think QTA appears in the cameras? The Time stamps are frustrating and also the subliminal message 06 stuff?? Along with the glyph code as seen on wikibruce?? maybe some or all of these are the clue/s we are missing rather than jumping through hoops on MB??
Your absolutely right in that it is very late in the game and most people are well past all this and waiting intensely for destiny , me too!!
But a couple of weeks ago I was scrolling through some random webpage and noticed that the geomantic symbols for the golden tickets are the same format as the J banners which to my knowledge are also still a mystery, so far I haven't been able to make anything of that but its the only close/ish format I have seen for a code that at least has the right number of dots??
But anyway It got me back into the whole thing all over again.

Please share your thoughts.

oooh  and when you look at geomancy there are lots of references to stone circles and magic squares ??

[ColdGlider]

PS anybody else think J banners look like punch cards.

YES!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card

Each of the three J-Banners have 4 rows.  Stacked on top of one another, you get 12 rows... the standard punch card format.

The issue to resolve is why there is a max of 9 punches in a column.  There was a 1969 ANSI standard named in honor of Hollerith which might fit.  (6 "bits" per character, two per column) which would yield 56 characters if we can find that encoding format specification.

EXCITING.  Thanks, Sep7tember!  Punchcard: Go!

[Jedichef]

well done C G

I'm txt'ing sep7ember now, so we can get on it. It really is good to see you guys are still on this we were starting to think every1 had given up.

nice1

[Jedichef]

Do you think, its possible that, if the j banners are a form of punch card that maybe they are not stacked up but instead are placed on a 12x28 grid one at a time? and table could be found in game, or in Sadie's story or something along these lines??
have spent the last couple of nights with Sep7ember on this but the more eyes on the better.

Also have the Subliminal messages been fully explained in the wallpapers? I have been having another look over them as there are so many references to subliminal msg 06 in the game but so far have not come up with anything new.

[nightcrafter27]

Someone who understands punchcards better than me is going to have to take a crack at it. Be careful though, with all the possibilities for the dots to encode bits, most methods are going to turn up gherjz.

Also CG, I've lost about four hours of my life to that website. I want them back.

[ColdGlider]

I spent a significant amount of time analyzing the combined J-Banners (28x12 grid) and necroposted to the old J-Banner thread.  Might as well go over there if we're going to talk banners again.

The QTA Patch has a thread over here in Theorizers.

Also over there is a thread dedicated to the Hollow Men Theory.

Sep7tember's epic post touches on many of these theories together, so I am going to move it to Theorizers as well. 

As for Destiny issues (geomancy, etc) that should take place here.

I'm very happy to see more discussion about these topics!
