When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.

Let's focus on the inverse and see if that takes us anywhere.

Its understandable to relate them to the gist of a videogame. So I'll believe in my theory that the Geomancy reveals the plots for each level.

For Pg. 4

The Way - The first level where you learn the basics and get started in your path into the story.

The Conjunction- A Crossroads area where you choose a side and stick with it throughout the entire campaign.

Lost- Seeing how you've taken a side you feel lost on what to do and who to really trust, OR it just means you're freakin' lost and must survive.

The Lesser Fortune- The protagonist plays through the level and understands what the conflict has done to both sides, seeing the lesser fortunes of what war can bring.

Red- Alot of fighting in this level. Many side characters will die and you'll understand that the conflict is not all what it's cut out to be.

Joy- You've completed your mission throughout the campaign and have reached peace. That is until the side you're on apprehends you and you're betrayed by that you thought were your allies.

The Prison- Either figuratively you're stuck in a prison of mind and the game ends with you hopelessly being lost forever (insanity) or you're in a Prison and you break out to reach freedom.



Yeah...thats what I got from that.

What if we're overcomplicating things? What if we're going deeper into this than necessary?

Somebody said we're duct taping random things and calling it a puzzle.

For Tru7h and Honor

Lets see
7 letters
*POSSIBLE WORDS*
Destiny?

I will look for something to decode it with, first I need to find out what the symbols are from and what they stand for

That sounds rather reasonable. It doesn't seem like any of these ideas is going to lead to anything, at least not where I'm at. The Latin seems fitting, but at the same time, this doesn't seem to be doing any good.

I tried Binary to ASCII and it came up as junk. I'm not one for these computer-code based cyphers though, so I may have messed up a little.

I'll try something else in a second...

Or maybe a month.
January or October

October 2013 would make sense for a major game launch.

I don't know if anyone besides Uriel S167 has mentioned it yet, but for a moment let us discard the "Your Mom" solution and search a little deeper. To me the code looks more like some form of Anglo-Saxon or Elder Futhark/Norse rune combination.

To those who saw the symbols and are as curious as I am about what they mean, there is much left to the imagination. If this is what Bungie meant with the symbols, I'm not sure what the connection is. It is clear that they all are related with one another though. There seems to be a lot to do with patience, productivity, community, etc. Keep in mind this is simply what my research has shown me and may not be what Bungie actually intended.

Anglo-Saxon Runes
L - Lagu
G - Geofu
O - Otael
K - Calk
M - Mann
U - Ur
G - Gar

Elder Futhark/Norse Runes
I - Isa - Ice

Meaning: A challenge or frustration. Psychological blocks to thought or activity, including grievances. Standstill, or a time to turn inward and wait for what is to come, or to seek clarity. Primarily represents a period of rest before activity, and itself forms the material from which life can be created. It is matter, inert by itself, but transformed into the stuff of stars when wedded with energy.
------------------------
G - Gebo - Gift

Meaning: Gifts, both in the sense of sacrifice and of generosity, indicating balance. All matters in relation to exchanges, including contracts, personal relationships and partnerships.
------------------------
O - Othala/Oþila - Ancestral Property/Inherited Land

Meaning: Inherited property or possessions, a house, a home. What is truly important to one. Group order, group prosperity. Land of birth, spiritual heritage, experience and fundamental values. It can be passed on as a legacy, but more importantly, it defines who we are by defining where we are. It is, ultimately, our home.
------------------------
?

Meaning: I don't know if there is a matching rune for this symbol/can't find one.
------------------------
M - Mannaz - Man/Mankind OR E - Ehwaz - Horse

Mannaz Meaning: The Self; the individual or the human race. Your attitude toward others and their attitudes towards you. Friends and enemies, social order. Intelligence, forethought, create, skill, ability. Divine structure, intelligence, awareness. It is those with whom we have personal connections, from our immediate circle of family and friends to the wider community around us, reminding us of our nature as social animals.

Ehwaz Meaning: Transportation. May represent a horse, car, plane, boat or other vehicle. Movement and change for the better. The horse has been a powerful symbol in nearly every culture and every age. They were often believed to draw the sun about the heavens. Strong, swift and loyal, their relationship with humankind is unique. They allow us to perform tasks that would normally be beyond our strength, and to travel distances that would normally be beyond our reach.
------------------------
U - Uruz - Auroch (A Wild Ox)

Meaning: Physical strength and speed, untamed potential. A time of great energy and health. Freedom, energy, action, courage, strength, tenacity, understanding, wisdom. Sudden or unexpected changes (usually for the better).
------------------------
Ng - Inguz - Ing (The earth god)

Meaning: Common virtues, common sense, simple strengths, family love, caring, human warmth, the home. Rest stage, a time of relief, of no anxiety. A time when all loose strings are tied and you are free to move in a new direction.

They're very similar to the Norse Runes in the Elder Futhark!!!

From left to right:

1) I Isa = Letter I
2) X Gebo = letter G
3) Othila = Letter O
4) Can't make it out
5) Mannaz Letter = M
6) Uruz Letter = U
7) Kano Letter = K

I feel like we are so close, but we need another hint. The geomancy way seems like it is the way to go, but from there it can be converted to so many different things.

DO WORK.

if 1+1=2, then are muffins better than pancakes?

I think it would be really awesome if this code revealed information about the campaign of factions in the next game, but I could also see it being a date and not be quite as crazy or in-depth as some of these cool sounding space-theories.

x/xx/xxxx or something like that

Release date, maybe?

They said the game would come out in the fall of 2013, so that means it has to be on/after 9/22/2013 or on/before 9/30/2013. Well, that is if the numbers match up.

I'm a stubborn guy. I love to argue my opinion, but unlike others, I'll try to see your side of the problem. I'm a triathlete, with a very heavy empephis on the swimming bit. Also, don't hate on the ~Quinton~ at the end of my posts. Why are you still reading this? #creeper #hashtagcashmoney for hashtaging on Bungie.net

I will look deeper into this after my swim meet is over.

Keep up the good work guys, we've gone from diamonds to paragraphs.

Could someone look at the Destiny symbol and compare it to the geomncy patterns?
