Mtgox555, you run those through the calculator?  Also, you must be getting info from somewhere else.

So what we are looking at now has just about as many upper case as lower case. This is normal if it represented hex data. But there are no numbers which would be weird for hex.

I'm playing with blue dot as "@" and yellow dot as "." but i'm getting nowhere. Here are some of the stuff i have written in notepad

I think we should be looking at why the dots are included. Two yellow and one blue.

Here is the enderman screenshot overlaid on the image. The triangle and these tiles match up.

The word "CoNtra" pops up to me. Inverted colors? Or reading backwards? The 987654321 transactions and the countdown refer to backwardsness as well.

"Invisibility now functions, and turns mobs invisible. Players under its effect cannot be detected by other players. A potion and splash potion of Invisibility was implemented and added to Creative mode. The golden carrot was added as the ingredient for the potion of Night Vision which, when inverted, creates a potion of Invisibility."

"The inclusion of a Golden Carrot in the recipe of the Potion of Night Vision is possibly a reference to the urban legend that carrots will improve your vision."

So now we must eat some carrots so we can improve our vision.  Grin

Following that path, i ended up here

She deleted something like: Endermen under the effects of an invisibility splash potion.  In this case you can attack what you do not see.


Base triangle in UI is very similar to ours, so if you try to overlap those big squares, they match letters and dots of the picture.

They hide these

B(Yellow dot)

but only 28 grey squares...


EDIT
Something like this




"A haunting of Endermen enjoy a cryptic evening."

The whole “they cannot attack what they do not see” thing does fit quote well with endermen.
I hope this puzzle doesn t take us to minecraft..
I have an account so if you need it, just ask (PM) as I don't really use it any more.
Thanks Smiley I actually already have one. What I meant is that if we start to involve videogames this might make look this whole thing less serious..


On the wiki, at the bottom, this phrase comes.up:

As of 1.8, Switching to spectator mode and taking an Enderman's camera adds the invert shader, suggesting that they see The End as an island of blue cobblestone (because end stone is a yellowish inversion of cobblestone) in a white sky, with white pillars, white Endermen with green eyes and a white Ender Dragon

Does that mean we need to look t the picture with an invert colour filter?

Someone discovered a message decoder. It may or may not be found on the enderman wiki (http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Enderman)

That wiki needs severe editing. It makes my head hurt how inaccurate it is. Who came up with that translation of the morse? If you just go through the morse you'll see it clearly says "end stop words" there's no "I" at the end of the word phrase. I don't have time, but hopefully someone will make the needed edits.

No I dont escrow anymore.
*Update 6/29

- Message decoder has been discovered.
Hmm, which was that?
So it's been discovered but hasn't been decoded? Or is that just being purposely obscure to not give away too much. If it hadn't been decoded I'm not sure how OP would know that it had been discovered unless it was posted in this thread.

Well there was this deleted post:

My son just pointed something out to me on the enderman wiki. Ha ha! Suckers!

Edit: oh, smells like BS
