I wonder if the letters of Intervene being different colors means anything?  Almost looks like they're all differrent fonts that belong on different character cards.

 

I swear I've seen those fonts or at least those specific font colors somewhere. At least the last "n" and "e" look familiar to me for some reason.  Maybe each letter matches up with a card somewhere?  It's hard to tell since the image is so small.  Is there a bigger version of that image anywhere? lol

 

Then again I haven't really looked through all the cards in a while.  It may just be wishful thinking.  But at least it's an idea, right?

The number is coming from the code of the "its coming" page. Everyline is the same with the 5th having that comment mysteriously in there.

123

I isolated the actual bar code from http://sentinelsofthemultiverse.greaterthangames.com/genocidal , and none of the on-line bar code readers recognized the format. Eg, I tried this one: http://online-barcode-reader.com/ . It happily recognized where the bar code was (even on the original image without isolation), but didn't recognize the format.

Note that "982354617" is a permutation of the digits from 1 to 9, which sounds like instructions for the order to look at the images. But that didn't give anything sensible. (There are not enough vowels in those card names to get anything sensible from an anagram.)

Bunker is eating "Flavor chips" at http://sentinelsofthemultiverse.greaterthangames.com/982354617 . Maybe we should be looking at the flavor text of those cards?

(How did people recognize the card from that tiny "intervene" image? Did someone redo the challenge on a computer with a larger screen to get a bigger image?)

Aar, I need to go do some work...

124

I added a slightly higher resolution screenshot to my post in

https://greaterthangames.com/forum/topic/intervene-8225

Wow, so cool!

Sorry, I jumped the gun!  I realize playing three Mega Computers in Megalopolis is not a useful thing to do, but honestly, Wraith really had no other cards to play that game!

125

I wish we had a bigger version of that picture, too. I'm not sure on Scion of Blight. I'm looking at that image and the card side by side and I can't see it,  but I also don't have a better idea (it looks to me like a leaf, which is no help yet.)

Edit: okay, now I see it (I hadn't seen the better resolution one yet.) 

126

I just took out the 9 cards in the screen picture and organised them accordingly.

Here are the card's flavour texts:

1. Scion of Blight- "Damn! *koff koff* We gotta takes this thing out before it kills everyone!" - Expatriette, Freedom Five #763

2. "Diplomatic" Envoy- "We have got to work on Amina's communication skills..." - Tachyon, Administrative Assassin #4

3.Beginning of the End- "We're too late. It's already in Megalopolis. And I don't think we can stop it."- The Wraith, Freedom Five #767

4. Eye on the Prize- "You may take this moment to reconsider. I'll give you that much." - Chrono-Ranger, Draw!

5. Retcon- "Good point, my friend and fellow Hero the Wraith! We are a good team!" - Guise, The Best Book #1

6. Between the lines- "Good! Now, five centimeters to the left... perfect. Hit it." - Parse, Freedom Five #607

7. Don't Dismiss Anything- "What I want to find is the truth. What are you looking for?" - The Scholar, Emigrant's Song #2

8. Fixed Points- "This event must occur in every reality across time," Omintron-X posited. The Visionary just hung her head. Not one Vanessa Long could be safe.

9. Reveal the Flaws- "There! Run to the center! It's now or never!"- Parse, Freedom Five Annual #29

 

I thought there was maybe something in the issue numbers, but I didn't come up with anything yet. The cards do work as a story, though, except, as usual, I don't know what Guise is doing there...

127

Did the same thing, I have Grappling Hook out, just in case, it also helps me fill the large space that screen has proportional to the others…

128

The Parse quote from #9 is from the annual found at the ..../genocidal URL concerning Progeny.
Also, is it just me or all of the decks associated with those cards from characters/environments who have contact with time/space phenomenon? I.e. Parse 'experiences' the cosmic entity that reboots Omnitron.

129

Not sure that's much in this game, post Shattered, pretty much everyone has contact with time or space shenanigans

 

130

Also, don't forget, TimCosing is an anagram for Moist Cig!
So, something about moist cigarettes? This HAS to mean something...

 

 

I'm done for now...  lol

131

And the title of the thread is WTC!

132

could the colours of the screens be important?

Scion of Blight, Between the Lines and Diplomatic Envoy are White
Beginning of the End, Retcon and Reveal the Flaws are Purple
Don't Dismiss Anything and Eye on the Prize are Orange
and Fixed Point is Blue.

133

Are those the colors of the crystals?

134

Having pulled out my copy of tactics I can say that the crystal colours are

Black/White?
Orange
Green
Purple
Red
Blue

135

maybe the color of intervene are linked to the color of the screnes some way

136

The page numbers in the Votm rulebook are all different colors. If we look up the matching number from the colors of the word intervene, what I’d the resulting number?

I have to go to work …

137

also, the comic image is named 716453289, while the genocidal was named genocidal, so that may be relevent

138

That's the reverse of the number in the URL. Should we be reversing something?

139

It would be great if someone can scan the rulebook. I won't be able to do it until the afternoon.

WHAT DID I WAKE UP TO?!?!?!
