Anons, last night I made this post:
I posted an image of two other posts. The intent was to show that there was a missing post that was formerly between them; that's where I believe Q's team dropped the first link giving a taste of their arsenal–it had disappeared when I went back to look for it.
I was hammered and deleted that part of the message, but some other anons picked up on the bottom id: c1c5da. I think that user had over 40 posts in that thread, none of them really spam. That set some anons off looking for cicada 3133:
http://uncovering-cicada.wikia.com/wiki/Uncovering_Cicada_Wiki
Going there, I realized that a lot of it was similar to what we've seen with Q's earlier posts–particularly around the time of the RED RED stringer.
I have almost zero experience with decryption, but all of the hints Q gave seemed to indicate it. I put together a graphic of all of the posts I felt were remotely related, even wrote a program…but my lack of experience and the sheer number of possibilities led me to step away from it: if you have no sense of what is considered normal, you have no idea when you've extrapolated too far.
Regardless, I got some ideas. For instance, this line:
"T: B, F, J, 1, 5, 11-20, ^"
I took it as "table: B = 1, F = 5, J = (something)"
Which is as if to announce that A = 0, B = 1, etc.
Anyway, that is similar to a lot of the cicada 3133 stuff, as you'll see.
I think Q decided that that sort of messaging was a little beyond us, bc he rarely posts stringers anymore. But recently he posted 5:5, which may be a book reference.
Just wanted to share some possible leads.
