Frankly Furtive?

[Indybird]

I thought someone would have made a thread about this already but I guess not so here it goes:

Simple Question: what is the "Frankly Furtive Forum"? There is nothing that makes sense in there. Is it a test section? Maybe jdbnsn could tell us?

Just curious, I sure hope this wasn't something that was discussed that I missed...

Neeways, I'm just curious.

-Indybird

[Dilphat]

ooo, i totally forgot about that. i mean like a couple of days there was some wierd thread there with some timing thing. then it disappeared and now its back. with the same clock counting down 46 days left till something. Does anyone know what's happening in 46 days? modcast maybe? or like, we get cake, TBCS bbq??? haha, what's happeing in 46 days?

[Indybird]

46 days, wouldn't that be October 31st? Halloween? I dunno, but its either really important or it means nothing. Maybe the forum will get a massive overhaul, or umm...I don't even know.

-Indybird

EDIT: 900th Post (Just another 100 away!)

[chaksq]

Yeah seriously what is that and why is the thread with the timer called zb?

Edit: I looked and if you notice it says "alea iacta est" before the timer. That is Latin and stands for "the die is cast" which is a reference to Julius Caesar. It is now a reference to something is inevitable will happen that cannot be taken back. What is inevitable with the forum? Please tell me this does not mean the forum could be shutting down. Upgrade maybe?

[xRyokenx]

Ah srsly hope this involves pie. Otherwise, I'm srsly gonna be srsly disappointed. Srsly.

Yes, srsly dood.

[Zephik]

Its sort of annoying really, why they didn't do this like a week or two before hand? I don't know, but that would of been better I think. Less frustrating and all that. At least give us some clues!

Then again, what the hell do I know? lol

[Computer-Geek]

I have been wondering what that forum was about for a while

[Crazy Buddhist]

I'm sure we'll all know in good time and that it will all be good.

.. and I know for a fact it doesn't involve anything closing down .. so stop worrying

you know what they say about patience being a virtue ... hey .. we got given a chance to practice it.

:)

[Xpirate]

The die has been cast.

Frankly = freely; candidly; openly; plainly
Furtive = taken, done, used, etc., surreptitiously or by stealth; secret; characterized by stealth; surreptitious.

I guess that forum is an "open secret"

[calumc]

hey does anyone know what
A posse ad esse. means? more latin or just jibberish?

[Xpirate]

hey does anyone know what means? more latin or just jibberish?

"a posse ad esse" is latin for "from possibility to reality"

Google can make you powerful!

[calumc]

Well its clear that somthing big is happening and we're not going to be told about it until the last minuite. Was i the only one that noticed that this counter appearing coincided with requests for donations?

[.Maleficus.]

From possibility to reality (or actuality).

It's probably just a test forum. Or a countdown to the day the apocalypse is coming. I guess that's the fun of the forum; nobody really knows if they'll die from it or not ;).


Edit: Grrrr Xpirate, you beat me! LOL

Edit 2: Ohhh, I think I've got it!! But I don't know if I do or not!! If I do know, I wonder why...

[Xpirate]

I'm glad that to see someone else who knows the power of Google .Maleficus.

[chaksq]

Well its clear that somthing big is happening and we're not going to be told about it until the last minuite. Was i the only one that noticed that this counter appearing coincided with requests for donations?
Yeah I noticed this too.

[Xpirate]

Edit 2: Ohhh, I think I've got it!! But I don't know if I do or not!! If I do know, I wonder why...

Then what is it?

We've got clues:
The die is cast - usually means something like we've reached the point of no return.
From possibility to reality.
Frankly Furtive means openly secret.

This countdown is going to 11/01/2007 4:00:08 PM Central Standard Time. I looked at the clocklink code.

:?

[Indybird]

Oi, all of your speculations is making me even more curious than I was...

Its something that we've subliminally known about is most likely going to be turned permanent. Thats what I got out of all the clues.

ADMINS plz, tell us something. At least tell us you're going tell us something. But don't leave us hanging! :?:?:?

-Indybird

EDIT: Whats wrong w/ my post count, last night I was at 901...

[calumc]

Maybe we are gonna take over the world and need the donation money for missiles?

[xRyokenx]

D'oh Bob Saget! Now I'm somewhat nervous... whatever. Time to ignore that too! :demented:

Lol, but yeah... new skin for the forums, some massive update, Paul has a new mod, etc. etc. ...that would explain why he hasn't been around much though, lol... that or life got in the way.

[computergeek19]

Maybe they just put the forum to make the members freak out(like right now, lol)

[Crazy Buddhist]

Or a countdown to the day the apocalypse is coming. ...

Interesting word Apocalypse - it's greek of course and literally translates as "to take off the covers" but philosophically relates to the day that the truth will be revealed - got nothing to do with the Armegeddon type meaning that is portrayed by the masters of meaning, the priests and politicians.

Like most freedom words - democracy, anarchy, etc - the real meaning is the opposite of the percieved meaning. Why? in order that the masters of the universe can enjoy their total freedom - at the expense of ours.

The day cometh. Roll on.

i was looking for that thread. I don't know, but I'm starting to get really curious. oh wells, it's probably nothing bad. but probably like a upgraded design of the forums maybe. i dunno. all we can do is just sit and wait with patience. and maybe do this...:banana:

[Omega]

There's a new thread in the forum.

I have no idea what the hell that even means.

Any ideas?

[xRyokenx]

I think they're just ****ing with our minds at the moment. Just ignore 'em.

EDIT: Just noticed:
zb

we
vf
ug
th

etc. etc.

[Omega]

Obviously they're ****ing with us, otherwise they'd just post what was actually going on.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that it relates to something, however.

Check my edit on my post, just noticed something.

[Omega]

yeah, I noticed that too, now if that actually means something...

perhaps they meet somewhere?

[xRyokenx]

In "yc" that's a crossword puzzle. I think I'ma do it. Interesting...

[SgtM]

Ah srsly hope this involves pie. Otherwise, I'm srsly gonna be srsly disappointed. Srsly.

Yes, srsly dood.

Are you freakin serious!?

Seriously...


Notice gents that there are no "secret agents" or mods or admins replying.. hrm.

[Omega]

I saw "Hard Drive" in there somewhere

obviously it's not a normal crossword thought

three spaces missing, the XLIX thing is probably related, and those chinese letters at the bottom (I'm pretty sure it's chinese, it doesn't look like Kanji)

[xRyokenx]

I saw an "Alumaxx" thing on there... methinks another Modder's Challenge or something of the sort. Mainly PC components and words like "evolutionary" and "tranquility"...

[b4i7]

there are things related to the forum it sounds like.... hard drive and carbon fiber(just found that) are 2 case mods here

[armadilloben]

im sorry b417 but all this time ive been confused about ure username's pronounciation is it bait is it in 13375P34K

[xRyokenx]

Xanadu? Lots of just forum related stuff. Damnit jdbnsn, you now have me ****ing curious about this. Either something cool is about to happen, or the mods have too much time on their hands. I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight.

[b4i7]

brb...boredom kicked in and im printing it XD

[SgtM]

Maybe it's a new Crimson Sky mod.

[xRyokenx]

^^That'd be nice.

I see "Dark Portal" and "StormD & Dark" and schtuff like that... gah! My mind is working overtime. Putting all this together is gonna be fun. Srsly. /notsarcasm[/COLOR]

WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT THE KEY BUT WHAT YOU MISS WILL LET YOU SEE.

In other words, nothing related to that up there... time to think outside that box.

[D1337]

Theres more but im not going to read backwards all night.

like "Punisher
No Name
"TBCS"
"chemical industrial ima" IMA may be part of it, i just added it since google said it was a euro organization


you know if you squint your eyes and look at the "paper" sideways the light spots of the paper look kinda like TBCS... or im just crazy.

If you want ill trace em out.

[Omega]

Chemical Industrial is a mod here on the forums. the ima is probably unrelated

[Indybird]

I think that it means you have to find all of the words and then the remaining letters spell out something.

-Indybird

[b4i7]

staring deep into the letters and the fumes from this sharpie are gettin to me...ill finish it later

[Dilphat]

its making me put on my glasses. i think it would be better with some alcohol. lol

[xRyokenx]

LOL You guys have me cracking up!! I can only imagine how hard the mods are laughing!!!! :D

Let's just say that you are all... WAY OFF.

I'm kidding anyways. :P

So, I see that CB has gotten to you, eh?

[xRyokenx]

I wouldn't doubt that they are having a good laugh, I'm not really "frantically" trying to figure it out, just using it as something to occupy some time.

Even though you claim you're not part of the staff, which I believe, I still don't believe that either a) you're not in on this somehow or b) you don't have some sort of clue as to what's going on.

But whatever, time to focus on other things and just wait until the do us the honors of revealing whatever little surprise they have for us.

[xRyokenx]

"What you see is not the key, but what you miss will let you see." :)

No I am not part of the staff.

-Jeremy

I've got it that everything in the crossword is misleading, except for the blacked out spaces, those are probably related to it somehow... not sure how, I'm still new to this thinking deal, remember?

Of course you are. :p

But yeah, patience is probably key here... probably.

i think this wordsearch is complete bull****, im guessin theres guna be another post while we're all trying to find a clue in it

[xRyokenx]

You can't see stuff on Imageshack? Lame.

But yeah, the mods are probably crapping their pants from laughing so much.

[Helix666]

Hmmm... does the number '49' mean anything to anyone?

why?

XLIX = 49. Roman numerals. /me shrugs

[xRyokenx]

It's 7 squared... add the digits and it's 13, umm... interesting. Where'd you find this?

[Xpirate]

XLIX = 49. Roman numerals. /me shrugs

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/sok/sok50.htm

49 on Wikipedia:

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

[Crazy Buddhist]

It's 7 squared... add the digits and it's 13, umm... interesting. Where'd you find this?

As I said once before 7 is my favourite number (and 13 is my second favourite number but I don't think I said that). Both are primes of course and being more than a bit mathematical they hold a certain fascination for me.

I've always liked this bit of math:

7 x 7 = 49
3 x 17= 51
49+51=100

Prime numbers are fun.

So is all the speculation going on here.

:)

[Dilphat]

yup and now i can't even see the threads. the staff i bet is just crying from laughter by now. ima just wait till the clock hits 0.

[Omega]

I don't know about you guys

but it looks like some of the words on the past few pages have turned green

OK, I'm gonna leave a few for everyone else LOL. We'll see how many of these turn green...

[Omega]

It's not chinese. It's Japanese. Kanji or Katakana, if i recall correctly.

I saw an "Alumaxx" thing on there... methinks another Modder's Challenge or something of the sort. Mainly PC components and words like "evolutionary" and "tranquility"...

Hmmm... I noticed this on all the postws in which the words have turned green:

Last edited by jdbnsn : Today at 07:37 AM.

I think he's saying that those are all correct. Now, to figure out the rest of this puzzle. ;)


edit:
the remaining letters spell out:
"AERPHSEBMNATOD#OVICTOREHIA#CURAM#"

I'm trying to work it out. so far I have nothing, but that could change.

[Mach]

"AERPHSEBMNATOD#OVICTOREHIA#CURAM#"

Amat victoria curam = Victory favors those who take pains

Leaving
"ERPHSEBNOD#OEH##"

Which reverses to(?)
WJLTIWZNMX_MWT__"

Taking a shot in the dark, will this eventually give a password to log into the mystery forum?

[calumc]

"There is no spoon"
I think I have to agree

[Killdrath]

By the way, the Kanji words say:

"to our future"

Said sister in law, is fluent in multiple asian languages :)

[Helix666]

thanks, jdbnsn. :)

I do believe that the password is a combination of these letters:

"SEBOICTAM"

hmm...

[Mach]

Iamtbcs +oe (?)

[armadilloben]

"SEBOICTAM"

"SOCAM" SO i bet mac

"EBOCAM" its bac em ???

i dunno lets keep working

[Xpirate]

There are 362880 permutations of the letters "SEBOICTAM"
This should keep someone busy for a long while.

[b4i7]

im assuming the 49 is referring to the number of words in the crossword..so we are still 3 short i believe from the newest count that is up

[calumc]

well i put that jumble of letters into an anagram solver and this is what i got: http://www.lexigram.net/cgi-bin/agen.cgi?s=SEBOICTAM&t=100000

[Mach]

You're right HP RES on the top line.

Kinda weak but could the "A" in the upper left corner reference. It's not part of the green letters.

A-51?

I think Dark Portal should be "The Dark Portal"

I see NANO down the center but can't find a mod named nano other than one in the cementary

http://lh6.google.com/MachModAlbum/RvVC0q4egPI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/Mk6sNzNFoMU/s800/tbcs.jpg

[FrooP]

maybe "nano lan machine?" (front page)

[armadilloben]

we should make a list of everyones posts and see what they edited like if u saw a word u didnt type everyone that posted should do that

[Helix666]

maybe "nano lan machine?" (front page)

Hmmm... this is making me think a little.
I guess that the green letters are correct, but...

And Bucko would edit the post, but not actually change anything, and have a misleading reason as to why it was edited. :rolleyes:

Myself, I'm not really trying to figure anything out, I just like word searches, so I did it LOL.

Oh, and I ad the connection to translate the Japanese.

This is actually quite amusing. I want to see what all this is about, because it's making me think.

be osmatic ... meaning "engender a keen sense of smell" :)

[Luke122]

be osmatic ... meaning "engender a keen sense of smell" :)

Maybe, "something stinks around here", "something's fishy" ?

As Shaggy would say, "I smell a mystery Scoob."

That or he probably shouldn't have eaten all that old food from the haunted castle/farm/airport/toilet/whatever... eating old bread, cheese, fish, and beans from some decrepit building is sure to **** over your digestive system. Believe me, I know... or do I?

[luciusad2004]

You are so right. Trying to figure this out has done nothing but drive me insane. I can wait until November 1st.

[jdbnsn]

You have all blown me away with your problem solving skills, bravo! Some of you have gained access and most have not. If you made a donation to the forums I have your info on my list, PM me if you want the passcode. For the rest of you, you've been so close it's insane. Infact, I've seen the passcode here already stated. Good luck to ya and thanks for playing.

[calumc]

So is anyone gonna tell us what is in there even if we cant see it?

[jdbnsn]

Infact, I've seen the passcode here already stated.

So you're saying to make sure the caps lock is off?

[Drum Thumper]

I think no matter what you try to use to figure things out, it's being subverted to confuse you more, I'm just going to sit back and watch some more :-P.




(2nd nontotient + 5th Nontotient) -2


I didn't see the unedited version of this post, but the 2nd nontotient + 5th nontotient -2 part seems to be right up Jon's alley.

A quick google shows that the 2nd even nontotient is 26, the 5th even nontotient is 50, which gives us 76. Subtract 2, and that gives us 74. And the 74th post is this one:


"AERPHSEBMNATOD#OVICTOREHIA#CURAM#"

Amat victoria curam = Victory favors those who take pains

Leaving
"ERPHSEBNOD#OEH##"

Which reverses to(?)
WJLTIWZNMX_MWT__"

Taking a shot in the dark, will this eventually give a password to log into the mystery forum?


Personally, I think the whole thing's gone 19.

[jdbnsn]

Okay kiddies. Now that all of our brainiacs and contributors have had a chance to review the contents of the Frankly Furtive Forums, you are all invited to browse around in there. The forum is now unlocked. Do not start any new threads or they will be deleted. Here is the caveat, the clock will need to be reset to add a week or two due to unforseen circumstances. But fear not, I have consulted the Oracle and the die is indeed cast so march on we shall, and turn our backs to our destiny we shall not. Enjoy firends!

Jon

[Helix666]

yay!
