UA Mystery thread 4 - The Canonn

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
The idea was to see if I can get the UA to degrade and pop inside the cargo hold, but I like youre ide as well:)

I can't get that canopy to break by bumping stuff.

Yeah, you think it'd be easy to smack the glassy thing into a pointy, stabby, thing and it'd just break - but no! You have to be shot at!
 
I just tried to register on the Canonn site, filled in my details and am now waiting for the mail that the site has threatened to send. I have already checked the spam folder and cannot find it anywhere.
I have also tried registering again and got the notice that both my username and email address were taken already. Thus I conclude that the registration worked as expected, but for some reason the mail has either not been sent out, has been delayed or was outright refused by Google.

If somebody with admin access (Derthek?) to the site could try to trigger that mail for me once more, I would carve a statue of your likeness out of a biscuit. Be aware that both my biscuit carving skills and my artistic competence are extremely limited.

Hey where's my biscuit likeness then? I WANT MY BISCUIT LIKENESS! If I do not get my biscuit likeness within THE HOUR (went full Rizal, and no, I will NOT apologise for it) I will be VERY UPSET (ah, did it again - still not apologising)

NB: When VERY UPSET, I may do one of two things:

1 - I MAY do nothing, just be disappointed (and that means I would have to look at you with that disappointed face that will make you squirm slightly and feel a little bit terrible for almost half a minute)

2 - I might fly into a rage and crush every grape that I can find in my fridge. I may even crush a piece of cake, mercilessly.

It's your call.

Not the grapes!!! What about their little raisins???
Dammit, I'm all out of biscuits!
 
You have 50 minutes left.

And I'm upping the ante. I want evidence of that biscuity statue on THIS FORuM THREAD (Uber Rizal mode engaged) in the form of a youtube of your own original modern dance piece.

If you do not deliver, not only are those grapes getting it, but the little raisins, the cake, AND the cute little icing twirls, are aaaaaalll going to get crushed. With my bare hands.

Ahem (this is something new...)

Hijack mode off (last time, promise)

So we are coming just after The Fuel Rats, The Secret Service and The Elite Racers! :D
Awesome guys!

I will read LordZoltan's post better tomorrow, to see if I can be of any help...
I hope RedWizzard updated his drawing tool to the correct drawing of the DBX (it was swapped with the DBS), if you plan to let Ed use a DBX, I mean.

Thank you. I can log in now, but still haven't received any mail. Checked spam again as well. Nothing. Also checked my profile on the Canonn site, to rule out stupidity on my part, but the mail address is correct.
Anybody else here using Google Mail and having this problem?

There was someone else using Gmail who also didn't get the verification email. It's possible that Gmail is blocking our email. But we're on it...

I am in full homework avoidance mode ....

Killakiwi's recording is PERFECT to show you all what I mean with MISSING LETTERS or MISTAKES in the sequences:

(you can click on images to see larger versions)

With different Sonic Visualizer settings:

as you can see, there are two sequences made just by 5 letters.
OGZNYO TSRST RUQST

When I tried to make the drawings, I needed to guess the missing letters, to avoid broken triangles, and broken ships images:

OGZNYO (S)TSRST (U)RUQST

Hi Riz,

Are there missing letters for all ships?
I just had a quick look at the morse code I recorded for my ASP some days ago. There are also some sequences where it decides to take a long pause before finishing it.
Its a long audio file and I'll have a better look at it later. This is just a quick sample I took to show you:

Not for all ships, but almost. Haven't you seen my list?

yours are usual sequences for an Asp:
LIWQUQ LIUQ SR

Sometimes it happens that a couple letters are delayed, it could be dued to network issues, but I don't think that the UA sound is network related.
It is almost surely created Client Side. But some random glitches are plausible, however.

That's great news guys! Everyone involved in The Canonn really earned the coverage from all the hard work going on in this thread (or rather, threads..!). I've been hanging around here since thread #1 (well, the first "Canonn" thread anyway), and it's been a really great experience taking part where I can and just watching the UA mysteries unfold!

I hope RedWizzard updated his drawing tool to the correct drawing of the DBX (it was swapped with the DBS), if you plan to let Ed use a DBX, I mean.

On that note, if the UA_Draw tool is used, it might be nice to give Anjin a mention too? RedWizzard's presets and colour ordering were great additions (really, nice work!), but the initial version was posted by Anjin so would be nice to give him some credit too :)

Here you go hope I got it right

No location, sorry ;)

It's the usual drawing for a Courier.
The first sequence clearly audible (1:59):

Thanks.

I know it, and I gave credit to Anjin in all the first posts about the Drawing Tool. But for fast reference, now, I just refer to it as Red's, just because his last version is the one we are using.

But, again, credit to Anjin, and to you for your version as well ;)

BTW, Red's version is not updated: DBX and DBS drawing are still inverted.

The missing/incorrect morse feels deliberate.
What do you get if you take all the incorrect morse characters from all of the ships and put them together - do you get a new word?

It does indeed. People are on it (or is it Person?) - So far just looks like a chimp with a pencil rather than a grand design, but you never know. Please feel free to investigate it yourself.

1) Being missing letters, they are missing, so nothing can be done apart from guessing.
2) If I take all the wrong sequences, I mean those with 5 or 7 characters, and I put all them together (btw, in what order? ;)), nothing meaningful comes as a drawing, just a few random triangles and lines all around. FYI there are 6 five letter sequences, and 1 made of seven (Anaconda), plus the Cobra wrong sequence that stands on his own, because is still made of 6 characters (BMQPVL).

You can play it yourself using my full list here. Enjoy.

As for myself, there is nothing.

It's quite possible that FD used some automated tool/script to produce the letters lists for the drawing, a fairly easy script.
It's possible that the script missed some points from the models. Nothing more nothing less.
