Geomancy Revisit pre 12-21-12 and post 1-1-13

Update: The one in Seven geomancy symbole can be interpreted as 1-7-13, or at the very least January 2013. In the rig the sack thread, Deej posted this juicy bit of info [quote] [quote]Posted by: gestuart88 How about you give us the date in some crazy geomancy puzzle this week? Those symbols still haunt my dreams. I promise we won't call a random phone number this time - right guys. come on deej.[/quote] You never really cracked that case, Bungie Community. I am disappoint.[/quote] To which Hylebos replied [quote]You told us that there wasn't anything else to crack and that the goal for Bungie Day was to figure out that they were Geomantic Symbols >_> Posted by: DeeJ Please stop inventing random telephone numbers to call. You are harassing total strangers. You are also barking up the wrong tree. The fact that you tracked these symbols to their origin is all you are meant to know about them. For now...[/quote] Either Deej is getting his pay back on us, or there is work to be done. Possible starting places I am noticing in this [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomancy] wiki article[/url] there is a Chinese version of geomancy, perhaps there is a connection to the Puerto Princesca map. [quote]In Korea, geomancy takes the form of interpreting the topography of the land to determine future events and or the strength of a dynasty or particular family. Therefore, not only were location and land forms important, but the topography could shift causing disfavor and the need to relocate. The idea is still accepted in many South East Asian societies today, although with reduced force[/quote] The symbols represent planets, and elements. Additionally they can be converted into binary. I also remember the one of 7 winners avatars where changed to one of the symbols. I'm hoping we get another hint in the mail sack this week, but lets see how much headway we can make before Friday.

  • Looking at [url=http://misriahsolutions.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/oneofseven_jacket.jpg?w=584&h=438] the one of seven hoodie again[/url] I just converted the two symbols into binary, and then into base 10 numbers. If you take the gold geomancy symbol you get 1 If you look at the black geomancy symbol, using the one over top to complete the symbol, you get 13. If we were looking for a date with these numbers, just throw in a good old number 7. I think we can expect to hear something on 1-7-13

Maybe it was foreshadowing something that we already found out about from the leak? [/quote] While I don't doubt the last city of humanity reference in the bible passage has a link to the game, I just feel like these symbols can be interpreted so many different ways. Counting the number of dots in each symbol just seemed WAYYYYYY to easy. I could be totally wrong, but I think it's worth exploring further. What's your opinion on the white hoodie symbol?[/quote] I agree completely. As far as the hoodie goes though... That symbol isn't shown on the Geomancy wikipedia page... Could it maybe not be a Geomancy symbol?[/quote] Yea, It's not a geomancy symbol, but it kind of looks like two partial ones overlaid, or at the very least it's in the style of geomancy - that and its connection to the one of seven is why I think it's so important

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Frag Ingot I found these bits of information interesting during my research..

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SonicJohn I believe this will be some sort of alternative ending, or story-path that the player can choose to embark upon. Hence, "Destiny."[/quote]So basically more intricate version of the good/bad ending . . . If there is an ending. Maybe they could mark your status as a player to alert people of what you do, like in DayZ how the player killers were marked with a special uniform.

I know there are alot of common translating mistakes in morse code, so can we double check the M L L E E. Update: Binary for the symbols where 1=* and 0=** 1111 0110 1010 1100 0100 1000 1001 I tried to convert each symbol into a letter, I had to go international characters for some of these but I got .... -..- .-.- ..-- -.-- .--- .--. My translation (note a and u are umlaut and I don't know how to input those characters) H X A U Y J P I'm not a computer guy, but isn't there a computer code for these?

  • Mods bear with me here I added the numbers together and got this 10-12-20 and I got [url=http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+10-12%3A20&version=NIV] This. [/url] Mods this is not about religion at all. Listen to this phrase though [quote] The Tower of Babel Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth." But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth. [/quote] We all know bungie likes to use somewhat religious things in their games (obviously halo) So maybe it's related? Maybe it's not. What really got me was this [quote]Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens[/quote] From what we've heard of Destiny so far is that it's our story begins on the last [b]city[/b] on Earth.

  • okay crazy idea. What if the order of those symbols is a stack system, translating into morse code? Going from left to right, depending on the stack breaks, how it translates to dots/dashes/spaces. Keep in mind that the overall symbol is a 3x4 square, and a break is every blank space from this square. I'm super bored, so my first basic translation system was based on the first three layers, going from the top down, based off of the center column. The top layer decided the number of characters, and the second two layers decided if it was a dot, a space, or a dash. Two dots in the two bottom layers means a dash, one means a dot, and no dots means a space. What did I get from this? M L L E E
