PPM's current layout was launched on january 1st, 2007. So, it's been more than 11 months since it is online. Since then, nobody ever posted a single comment about some weird signal in the network bar, which was some kind of easter egg of PPM. The only sign of its existance is in the credits of the site. At the moment the layout was created, EALA was challenging fans to decode messages from the Scrin faction and since then, we've been the first C&C site to officially get a scrin message. Maybe it is stupid, but I feel I had to mention it...

I have spoke to Muldrake about it, and did notice it a while ago. But it is a bit small Bansh, My eyes can not read it...

I never noticed it... Its really hard to see. Plus, I usually just go to the forums. Even when I do use the main site, that network bar is too annoying for me to even look at...

I noticed it but it's crappy quality and impossible for me to (put forth the effort required to) decode it.

Yea... I must admit that to make it fit the network bar, I had to reduce it a lot, which makes the quality be a bit too crappy, but someone guessed the last word correctly #Tongue.

Hehe, I didn't know it was a message, I thought it was just there for effect, so I've practically ignored it all this time.

I can hardly see it, but I think the third last word is "happy".

You may need to use some graphic effects from your Photoshop or PSP to read them #Tongue.

The words "Oilbles, happy, long and live" are not in the message.

Too distorted man, if you could possibly slide out a more cleared up image of it, with more brightness to show actual letters as well, would help. Wink

I tried sharpening it in almost all ways and at different levels, changing the colour to make it more readable, etc. but it's way too distorted, the word PPM is hardly recognizable Banshee, It's near impossible to decipher what it's saying... #Tongue

Tratos, both words you mentioned are not in the message.

To be honest, if you translate few of the words, you'll guess the whole sentence.

It'd make life easier if we had a version that wasn't so distorted.

Sadly it is not written in the Scrin font that I have, which is as far as I can tell the official version... I dough that it is, but I had never seen this, were exactly is it located on the main page if anyone can tell me... I wish to see the small version and to see how blind I was.

It's in the very, very top of the site. In the network bar.

And I've used the scrin font that was posted in the EA forums by Valdez, I believe... anyway, it's the same kind of letters that EALA used on their scrin message.

Here it is, brighter and with greater contrast.
Its really difficult to see, and the JPG quality certainly doesn't help.

I'm getting something along the lines of "It's [bullshit here], It's [can't see shit], It's PPM"

Whatever's in [] is placeholders for whatever is actually meant to be there, but I'm sure I've got the gist of it, something similar to: "IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE, IT'S, SUPERMAN".

Hey Banshee, can you post by any chance a black and white, clear as day version of the message that isn't distorted or darkened to point to where the letters can't be clearly displayed? Wink

All the others thats been posted have developed to nothing more then garbled garbage thus far for me.

Totally wrong, except for PPM in the end. And no, there is no word Beer on it as well. The message is not focused on TS.

"Welcome to PPM"

It's a .jpg on low quality, too dark, and too small. Trying to solve this is a WASTE of time and effort. Kill it with fire.

Redo the image with a PNG so we can actually see the damn characters. The point of it is not to decipher pixels, it's to transcribe the symbols into our alphabet. This is a pointless waste of time otherwise.
