Thanks to everyone involved in solving this puzzle, especially perdita.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This seems like it's going to be quite a big deal so it needs it's own thread so It doesn't clog the "OSR goes live in LA" thread (which is already about the mural AND the meeting)

What we have so far: (IF ANYONE CAN DO HIGH RES SCANS THAT WOULD BE APPRECIATED)

One YZ booklet (1st one)


Another YZ booklet (2nd one)


Flyer in Ammo box given out in LA


As you can see two different line codes in two different YZ booklets, anyone with a different one should scan and post.
Also it would be worth it if others at the LA event check their flyer for different line codes too.

Edit: (Edited again) - and again
I have fixed an error in my first standardized graphic and have changed the scale slightly so it no longer looks stretched. Also fixed the spacing.
I have standardized these below using graph paper: (the first line is now 10 units high and 2 units wide the spaces are now 2 units wide)




Below, excellent minimalist version thanks to psyborgue, should be easier to work with in photoshop (at high zoom) as pieces will "click" into the uniform "grid".

is the one at the top also from an european booklet? cause maybe theres just a difference between us, eu, aus,... booklets.

Okay - I JUST got up (and don't have time until I get back from work, to read pages 35-current at this time (54 or so) of the osr thread), but what this looks like to me, is upside down and reversed ARABIC. Just throwing that out there - don't know if it means anything.

edit - not necessarily reversed, maybe just upside down since arabic goes right to left.

The top one was posted by NINman but I'm unsure where they got their copy.
The second one is from sepalotix in vienna so I assume it's the European version, maybe.

Yay, Badass Photoshop skillz ;X it seems that there is another code missing maybe the australian, asian or whatever?

yes, mine is the normal eu-release...

Could maybe someone standardize them?

Agrees from germany. Got the same code on my YZ booklet.

I have since found out that it matches the Australian booklet too. But who's to say that it's not random?!?

OK, to try and help things along, I've cleaned up the images a bit so it's just in black and white. The sizes are different, so they still need playing around with a little bit, but I'll just post these up now anyway.








I might tidy them up a bit so that they're all the same size in a little while, but I think they're suitable for playing around with in photoshop now.

i am pretty fucking sure that this whole blaablaablaa is gonna lead us to a new website.

Or it's another w & s <_<

i sure hope it's not. now i'm gonna play awitha those codes with my freaking awesome Microsoft Paint! (n_n)

edit, i never knew that this computer has photoshop elements or whatever it is in it! woohoo lucky day.

gl with that i'm trying to scale them, so i can put them together in some way

Church of Plano icon:



Perhaps this has something to do with the white line codes?

Perhaps not... just thought I'd point it out..

i've not got my copy yet, so i can't contribute fully to the analysis, but i think it's very interesting that the unscrambled symbols resemble arabic script.


a more worthwhile post coming in 48hours!

The second one is on my sleeve so it must be the European one

I have standardized these below using graph paper: (the first line is now 10 units high and 2 units wide the spaces are now 2 units wide)

thank you very much

That's great, thatguy, thanks very much. Exactly what I was heading for. Think I'll have a play on photoshop with that now.
