Server 5 opening Discussion

to find the center of a triangle you must make a perpendicular line for each side of the triangle, that bisects that side. The intersection of the three perpendicular lines is the center of the triangle.

I don't mean to attack any theories, but are we sure that there will be events in the
designated cities on TAL? It really could be another puzzle, or might relate to something else.
It's never been proven that there are events occuring in these cities, despite it being most likely.

EDIT: Stop talking about triangles before The Lock Ness Monster attacks.
That's a good pun, Lock Ness...

Does anyone know of a website or program with which I would be able to draw the exact altitudes (and the like) of this triangle so we can see what the exact centres are?

(P.S.: I believe that Salt Lake City is the "barycenter" of the triangle.)

[aceplace]

Why is everyone so confident that Salt Lake City is related?

which apparently in this case is, or is extremely close to SLC

...I have a feeling though that tonight the scrambling text will be revealed as something else entirely, sparking another wild goose chase...just keep that in mind so we all don't focus on SLC and find out that that was just a happy little coinsidence...

What you're refering to is the circumcenter.

What we're talking about right now, we hope will lead to a clue about opening the 5th Episode, so it is entirely relevent.

yeah, knowing bungie it could be anything

Pointing out the obvious is not keeping to the topic. Future posts such as this will be deleted. It's going to be busy enough as it is tonight, so please abide by the rules and warnings we've given.

I hope whatever happens tonight won't limit the people not in NY, LA, or Seattle from opening the Server. Otherwise it be a pretty lame ending to the ARG for us (IF it ends at 5)


DITTO.

I just tried to get to the topsecret.xml and was unable to. Anyone else having this issue?

Sorry, I missed this.
Wats topsecret.xml?

Edit: anyone found a Bounce path control local yet?

[Kashaku]

please tell me if this is just in my head...are the stars on TAL dissapearing even faster then before...if not I guess I'm just losing it
