I somewhat retract my statement in how j was sorry. I'm still sorry it turned out to be a hoax. But I'm not sorry for making the post or lighting this powder keg. This was the most fun and excitement I've had with destiny in a long time. Church100 got it right in that this brought the community together in a very positive manner. Some say we took this too seriously and you know what, we did. But can you blame us for having this much fun and excitement with trying to solve a puzzle that could lead to a reward and some recognition? It was a hoax, but oh man was it fun talking to all you guys and sharing any tidbit of info I got and seeing everyone go over it, share notes and come to their own hypothesis. It was fun guardians, thank you. Hope we can actually find a legit puzzle like this and get a more satisfying end to that tale. Not going to change or alter this post. That way others can see how it started and took off. Have a good weekend everyone.
So I was sent this private message on the destiny app from Absensevigil I need help in trying to figure it out. Don't know if it's a hoax or what.

"You can hear it. But have you listened? Do not be anxious, there is no urgency- - You are not ill. The ailment of time was a only a dream. I arrived on Friday. You visit me on Saturday night. Six of them speak lies, tell you I am not here. One of the blind tells the truth. She does not consort with the warden if pleased. Only someone so vain will find flattery in mockery. This is where I wait. Please return to me."

RSPN is rasputin? I come on Friday is possibly xur maybe. Idk about visiting saturday, is the warden variks? If you check out Absensevigil profile it's a bit weird...
Edit: well it seems this has kicked off into another search for mystery and if they are truthful it seems some of you guys have recently received the message. I will be researching this weekend as much as I can. Those of you who have time I urge to research this and explore and share here. Can't wait to see what this really is, hoax or not. Just did poe with some friends and it was normal. Going to search Venus and vault and other stuff. I apologize I won't be able to update or research alot since I have other engagements. I will try to do as much as possible and report back.
Edit: good luck to everyone, idk if this is a hoax. I honestly don't know. I'm just loving how exciting this is getting haha

If anyone comes across new info or is onto something I'd love to be kept in loop whether it be pm or if you share here. I'm off this weekend so I'd love to tag along. Loot or no loot I just wanna see how it ends. Thanks, goodnight.
Edit: might be a troll. I pm last night Absensevigil and got this:

If not troll then who is this orchestra and pertaining to pack leader I recently got alpha lupi when the update came out.
New update: got this just now

This might be the last message...

Praedyth received this http://m.imgur.com/VUirDTZ
Possible troll since Absensevigil has commented here on the forum maybe???
Nvm just a dick who changed display name. Not the real Absensevigil
Edit: just got into VoG on hard. At Templar ' well. Conflix part. The vault seems to shake a little bit like tremors here and there. Don't remember if it did that before
MAJOR EDIT: just got this http://imgur.com/aRJbOM2. Does this mean it was solved???? I'll tell you if I receive anything or something happens.
Edit: as Sheri Kan pointed out it's not solved but we now have all the tools to solve it. Seems like it has to do with oracles on the daily heroic or VoG and their order or how they are destroyed with certain weapons such as Praedyth reveng and vision of confluence. Best of luck everybody.
Edit: to those claiming this is a hoax, troll or bait I want to say this. I honestly don't know. I'm not the creator of this. I got the weird messages last night and shared on reddit and made this post to see if it meant something or if it was a hoax. I'm excited and the prospect that this might be real and lead to something and also anxious at the likely chance that this is a hoax. Absensevigil could've simply handed me a match and I started a fire. I'm hopeful and skeptical. One thing I enjoy is how this has gotten the community together. Hoax or not this is fun.
And at the end of this rabbit hole it turns out to be a hoax. Welp it was fun. I would like to apologize for kicking off this powder keg only for this to end up being a hoax. I'm sorry, was really hoping it was more. It was fun. Well played Absensevigil, well played.

I'm glad that he did tell us the truth, but he should have probably posted it on this one as well. But, hey what do I know? I'm not Deej/Cozmo.

7 RespuestasEditado por BanditNation: 4/16/2016 3:03:15 AMNot sure if anyone's already done this, but I'll do it anyways. Absense Vigil's Bio: "Take up our instruments as our audience takes a seat. We will play first, then you will repeat." I remember seeing on Reddit about the topic that the instruments could mean weapons. Absense Vigil's Status: Dilidium... Dilidum, when translated, means intermission. Absense Vigil's ID: undecim duodeci Undecim duodeci, when translated, means eleven twelfth, or literally eleven of the twelve. Eleven of the twelve could mean December 11th. Is Absense Vigil taking an intermission until December 11th? If it is, then that's a long while to wait. If not, then I'm doing this all for naught.

4 RespuestasEditado por MF NOOT NOOT: 4/15/2016 8:16:13 PMQuestion I'm on VoG hard and am attempting to do the glitch where you book it to campus nine to solo the spire. I'm where the gate lord is and I went to the left area and there is a vex force field wall blocking on of the small caves. Is this normal. It has been so long. Also feel free to join me. I'd prefer vets of VoG to join that way we don't have to reteach how to get through it. I'm on 360, gamer tag same as name. I urge others to form there own team too and check stuff out.

1 RespuestaOk I keep changing my position but I am back to the Xûr and Trials of Osiris theory. THIS IS A MUST READ I THINK I SOLVED IT!!!! I just went and read the Legend: Saint-14 and not only does it reference Mercury, but also Osiris. Now follow me through here. Xûr is at the reef, this is his 7th position and we know he is here when he is not in his other 6 positions at the tower. Now Mercury is a hidden destination, the 7th to be exact, and you unlock it after going flawless in Trials. And in the Legend: Saint-14 he mentions Osiris being on Mercury. Now another thing is that Xûr is selling Helm of Saint-14. It also says that to open up Mercuries veins, should not be done because they will never stop. Now if you go read Osiris, you see that he became obsessed with Vex, so obsessed that he began to mess up the order of the universe. This also mentions Xûr and he he became interested in what Xûr was doing. Now both of these stories mention Vex, and recently we have new pictures of Vex like things or sounds. Saint-14 mentions them and him needing to gather his vex army to stop what is going on in Mercury, and Osiris mentions how the game became obsessed with the Vex. So I think this dude was referencing a few things at once. Xûr and how he is in his 7th hidden locations, by the Disciple of Osiris who happens to be blind, thus the 6 who don't know, but the blind 7th does. And how he is selling Helm of Saint-14. Also how many people, even though Xûr comes Friday, do last minute grabs on his stuff Saturday night. The last part of the riddle mentions something about returning to me, and about doing something and not being prideful in it even though you did it well, I think this is where Mercury comes in with you needing to go flawless to get there, then returning to the Disciple of Osiris, and Xûr is right next to him. So I really think he is talking about Xûr, Mercury, and Trials of Osiris.
