Re: How disappointing

In Response To: Re: How disappointing (Bry)


: ... While it might be nice,
: the point is somewhat defeated if only a handful of people are dedicated
: enough to figure it out.

: These are things they actually want us to find out, rather than as a serious
: attempt to keep things secret.

When there's a globally presented puzzle, interest in the puzzle will wax and wane with time. Put it out once, big surge that dies down. Throw out more content, and it will return for a bit. After enough context or obvious translations, a whole language can open up.

The rosetta stone I think can be comparable. Sure, translations are still not 100% certain after centuries, but this script wouldn't need to be as complex. I'm sure a cryptographer or two could have made them a simple language or at least something more than a 1 to 1 relationship between symbols and letters. It's just boring.

Is that something that could be revealed instantly? No, but why demand instant gratification? Why should all the secrets be revealed within a few days of launch? Those acronyms on the bungie games are simple, unanswered puzzles, and interest comes back every few years. Why not let it happen here?
