i'm after a bit of information.

how many times (minimum) do we need to switch player to get through the game in?

how many and which missions induce a thunderstorm and what is their significance in the story path?

 

we could do with a good diagram of the story layout and decision points to see if it has any resemblance to the mural. on the face of it the mural looks like it's too basic for such a complex and non linear, multi character saga, but if we can get an idea of the basic structure and use the x's as teleport / character switches we might get an idea of how to play the game.

 

i haven't looked at the official guide book so what kind of structured path does it lead you on, if any?

If it is of any help, i remember very well that immediately after i finished the alturist mission, it started a thunderstorm... besides that, i didnt notice anything (but i wasnt looking either)

 

also, what was weird about that mission is that after i finished it, i switched to franklin i think, and when i switched back to trevor like.. 1 second afterwards, he was in the other side of the map.. like... in the city or something

How many hours are frozen in the game? How many kinds of nights Are there? How many kinds kinds of moon are there and how many nights per lunar cycle?

We have 7 moon (new moon are not shown ingame) and 7 days. If we know what moon is necessary, we have automatically day of the week.

TirkaneX, that sounds kind of cryptic could you please elaborate so a layman can understand what you are getting at. Thanks.

Still image from the video Deadman posted. Looks like something on a trailer.

This has been gone over before, just so you know, it's...

 

Farm equipment.

 

One of the big rolls of tubing on the trailers, you find them everywhere around the farm areas.

 

Notice it says "HVY"?

That I try to explain. We represent an alien that controls M T and F. The goal of the mural is to show us how to embody the Alien. To regain control of our own character (alien), we must place one or each characters(MFT) of the game at a specific location, a specific day, a specific hour slot, a specific weather and a specific moon.

The sateleitte map (smartphone) of rockstars is marked in some places by Rockstar. you will find, for example, a circle, south Palomino highlands, another circle before the bridge leading to FZ and more.

 

If I admit I 'm an alien, I regain control of myself only when i switch caracters(bam bam bam). After the 3 bam I'm on me.

just got home from the docks, was thinkin' the whole time and wish i posted before i left. In the 9th paradigm there is alot or a bit of talk about the lake of truth right¿ where is one of the only (by definition) lakes in the game¿¿¿ Mirror Park! there's mention of some kind of mirror. im not able to play right now but i was thinkin of this for about 2 hours. will be able to look around for myself in about a half hour but i think it's something to definitely look into.

Or wait, machinery in a barn has something to do with the 4th character's brainwave patterns?

With that said, have you made your thread yet, so that I can enjoy seeing less of your posts?

 

that's a bit harsh and against the forum rules if memory serves correctly. keep it friendly or at least non-confrontational, as we are all working towards the same goal here

@MarqstheSpot I believe I made myself clear about not posting metaphorical/philosophical content in this thread. This really is the final warning you are going to get.

TOPIC! KEEP TO! PLEASE! this forum has been a big help to me in the past month as i am new to this site. I'd hate to see it get locked or discontinued(i know that wouldn't happen, but you get my feeling on the matter) due to bitter rivalries between people that i have come to rely on as far as their opinions and findings.

 

that being said, did anyone check out the lake in mirror park yet¿ im like 20 mins from being home and cant wait to see what i find(or dont find) lookin around there. been combing the satellite map every second i can when not at home.

@MarqstheSpot I believe I made myself clear about metaphorical/philosophical content. This really is the final warning you are going to get.

It pertains to the "Solving the Chiliad Mural" yes? this is the right topic for that?

 

I do believe we went ove this in PM, i showed you the evidenc of how it connected and you never got back to me about it.

 

You never gave me any warnings about anything, we left off on you having to respond to my PM, which you never did.

 

where are you getting this idea that i have been told something, i certainly don't have any unread PM's, i am confused.

 

 

Again, since nobody can disprove anything i have posted, i don't see the problem. Nobody offers opinions to anything, they just say "Nuh uh!, the Jetpack is real!"

 

 

I am absolutely reasonable about this, i go about it in a reasonable way, i never throw names or tell others that their posts are irrelevant.

 

It is what it is, i'm just in the topic named for what these things are connected to, i didn't name the topic, not my problem.

 

rename the topic and i'll have to go somewhere else i guess but, if i post this stuff anywhere else that would be off-topic there, so.... again, i'm confused.

 

I would post this to you in PM but, again, you never respond and/or finish out conversations(except seemingly in your head)

 

 

Plenty of places on the internet, don't worry about "warning" me, it's just a video game, my ego is in check, apparently not so much with everyone else.

 

Peace out.

i'm home!(no one cares) but i don't want this thread to get locked! everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and everyone is entitled to THEIR own opinion on said opinion...just don't come at each other like possums fighting over a berry bush!

That's quite frankly not true, Xmarqsthespot.

 

Enough with this bullsh*t. I'm going to ask you one last time to keep the philosophical debate and tripe like that out of this thread. Feel free to make a thread about all that stuff, but limit the discourse here to the actual decoding of the mural. This is your final warning.

 

This is the most recent warning I gave, it's crystal clear. Your buddy matsui chose wisely to heed it, however you don't seem to get the message.

@xmarqs. Yes he has warned you before. Why haven't you made your metaphorical/deep thinking thread?

 

@cocogen. I have checked that place all over several times(Mirror Park). Waded through every square meter of the Lake. I found nothing at all but you are very welcome to look more(gets very boring). Also if you see a post like the one above don't post about it just report it. Raavi responds pretty quickly. Thanks in advance. :)

 

Now onto what i wish to share. After uploading the image and posting here earlier of how i see the hippy camp fits into the overall map i decided to go check out the area around and close to the Vinewood sign/hills. If you drive/walk from the gates at the top where the towers are and follow the road down around to the left keep looking at the right side of the road. You will see several rows of those white picket fences instead of the usual metal railings, at about the second or third row you will see this -

Has anyone seen them before? or any texture like it? just doesn't look random to me. looks possibly like either lightning bolts or S's.

 

What do people think?

There should be 28 moons . There is a chart on reddit . According to the chart and in my game also the full moon should always fall on a Tuesday at 12 am . Any specific moon you choose should always fall on the same day . Im on PS3 not sure if xbox cycle starts on a different day but I would imagine everyones game is the same . The moon may appear full on a sunday but I dont think it is . If you watch it there a few days where the moon appears full. At 1200 am of a new moon it should flip sides .

 

Moon Chart : http://imgur.com/Zjd9Jb8

 

(It's spelled Raavi, go edit your post) can we get this chart in the first post too please. If no one minds I think its a great reference .

Also why is the mystery of V thread pinned ? No one really posts there and there is no info on the first page . All of the sudden one day it was just pinned.

How to break it down for you simple minded folks?

 

The Tract, IN GAME, talks about the Power of Metaphor's.

 

The Tract is Metaphoric.

 

apparently NOTHING ELSE could possibly be metaphoric though, right?

 

ONLY The Tract has metaphor's, nothing else whatsoever in the game could possibly have metaphoric meaning?

 

Apparently you all know more than the game, so how about you guys finally tell ME if there is a Jetpack or flyable UFO, i'm dying to know form people who know so much absolutes about a agme they had no help in creating.

 

Please Explain, i'll wait for a LOGICAL answer.

It IS about decoding the mural.

 

It's really thick in here, isn't it?

 

How is it NOT about decoding the mural?

 

Nobody answers this question.

Please stop with the off topic posts, apparently you can be banned for this.

 

Just a heads up bro, since this is exactly what i'm trying to tell everyone...

@TSF: Does look like lightning, but they also all have the black splotch to the left, indicating reused texture mapping.

I believe there is a drawn figure in the sand somewhere in the senora desert of the jetpack picture. Go on youtube for that one.

The Science being used currently is bad, there has to be another way, it's only logical.

 

These are the reactions given when bringing up Science to Religious people, they know everything not because of evidence but, because they have to feel that they know.

 

Epsilonism is not a religion, but a science and a way of understanding everything and nothing all at the same time. Sorry but I am posting off topic(i guess). I believe there is something to this whole Epsilon thing that has been overlooked and the key to what we are looking for has been overlooked countless times. Kifflom!

 

On topic, I didn't find anything at mirror park lake, not to say there isn't anything there, as i'm busy with the morning rush of SUPERBOWL SUNDAY! weed orders and keeping my self well caffeinated. Gonna keep lookin' though.

Yes i see what you mean although it looks intentional to me. For some reason if you look closely at the pic i posted it looks like SoSoSoS(SOS x3).
