New cipher found by RicardaHub on reddit: "It is located near the bottom zipline where the skull fountain for the ritual is. On the box next to the fountain, the side facing the wall weapon has this note on it" Ciphertext: (With spaces not specifically denoted) f wexaieelscar hodu inm ev eefrenrmv la eeitgaeeotet peveal otss bgteatorstpmse tn atdeeenafmh me xlhhcse se yca hrencar buueeeeaeatsey e ia neaeamttum detht fxlr hshsaa t lacneslfhpehisoeijetheaet pt tihildsmonndh ittalewscnvo evcs or t etdlauerde trne ba i dirte ataitifher inmct ua eertltetansponshu t moik lttg hnpqpnav aesannoi ip re ta satohseuaorepecush sosooegnesebwsls more roncorlhhjewortr snnr cnd ae ew tyeoyi pfiw e fuefw iopie osbugilcn ru cle e teig or ilnumt rloasardhnynl (With spaces denoted-including guesses at double-spaces) f_wexaieelscar_hodu_inm_ev_eefrenrmv_la_eeitgaeeotet__peveal_otss_bgteatorstpmse_tn__atdeeenafmh__me__xlhhcse_se__yca_hrencar_buueeeeaeatsey_e__ia_neaeamttum_detht_fxlr_hshsaa__t_lacneslfhpehisoeijetheaet_pt_tihildsmonndh_ittalewscnvo__evcs_or_t_etdlauerde_trne_ba__i_dirte_ataitifher__inmct_ua_eertltetansponshu_t_moik_lttg_hnpqpnav_aesannoi__ip_re_ta_satohseuaorepecush__sosooegnesebwsls_more_roncorlhhjewortr_snnr_cnd_ae_ew_tyeoyi_pfiw__e_fuefw__iopie_osbugilcn_ru_cle_e_teig_or_ilnumt_rloasardhnynl I included two versions of the cipher text because it IOC and frequency analysis suggests a transposition type cipher.

Pentagon Thief... just because.

Hey guys, Tac here! Zetsubou No Shima is upon us and even now, before the map has launched officially, there is a cipher solved. As more and more rolls outs, like radios, more ciphers, and eventually the quotes, I'll throw them all in here. Please note that this thread will be under constant construction, so be patient if something isn't fixed immediately as it likely will soon. Also note that this thread is a small portion of my much larger transcripts thread, which can be found here. Opening Cinematic Trailer Ending Cutscene Radios Codes/Ciphers Scraps

So there is this character in the zombies universe who is being mentioned more and more through cryptic messages and we only know him by the letter M. We know that he has visited Maxis and that his presence, according to the radio on Zetsubou No Shima, "defied logic and reason". Now I believe that this M is Doctor Monty simply because his name is signed at the bottom of the Giant scraps here. You've already heard that before and you might even believe it. But I also think that this M character has also been referred to in previous games like Black Ops 1. Specifically this note in Kino Der Toten. "Be Wary of the Doctor. We are not sure how he arrived in this time and place." This is very similar to the way Maxis describes M's arrival in the radios. There isn't much else to say about this. NaBrZ Hunter has also suggested that this same Doctor could be the figure in the Nacht Der Untoten comic book loading screen which is an interesting idea. Maybe there has always been a mysterious time traveling Doctor who has followed us through out the games and this time the zombies team decided to give him a name and a story.

I would like to nominate @DragonGJY for UoTM. DragonGJY has been epic this month with helping translate everything that's Japanese from ZNS. He's once again proven to be a very valuable member of the community, and is most deserving of the award this month. - Mix

第九師団 = Ninth Division

@tEfugleskremmel however, we know from the CotD radios that Richtofen didn't teleport Maxis away until after October 1st, 1945, which messes with events in both the original and new unverses. This means that both The Giant and Der Riese occur no earlier than that date, and as you said, The Giant is even before Der Riese, meaning the latter could even have been in November.

Ladies and Gentlemen of CoDZ: @Covert Gunman, @Hells Warrrior, @Tac, @jaysta5792, @Doppelgänger and myself have been brainstorming ideas to get the Official CoDZ YouTube channel back on track, and while we have some great game resources in the works, we’re CoDZ. We do story, right? And as avid students and experts in the storyline, we wanted to start answering some questions that are not often addressed in the community due to their complexity or the vague and limited resources available to make conclusions, and aim to do so in the light of absolute facts. However, although we, ourselves, have innumerable questions ourselves that we’re quite keen on debating and resolving, we figgered it might be a better idea to get some input from our fellows here at Headquarters. Without a doubt, CoDZ and its members are the most well-informed in the community, so we hope y’all will help by suggesting some questions that y’all feel are under-appreciated or minimally discussed in other areas of the community, especially relating to the multiverse, its workings and the way the cosmos is constructed, story continuity and clashes between the current story development and the original, and whatever vague and mysterious story elements come to mind. Looking forward to hearing from y’all!

According to a radio from Call Of The Dead, the Group 935 has captured Takeo before September 2nd 1945, Zetsubou No Shima may therefore happen before that date, contrary to The Giant and Der Eisendrache.

Simple. I point to the chalkboard cipher: EDWARD AS YOU KNOW IT IS IMPERATIVE YOU AND THE GROUP FIND THE EXACT VERSIONS OF YOURSELVES THAT I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED IN EACH UNIVERSE ONLY BY KILLING THAT VERSION OF YOURSELF IN THAT PARTICULAR UNIVERSE AT THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT IN TIME WILL WE BE SUCCESSFUL ONCE EACH OF YOUR OTHER SELVES ARE KILLED ACROSS ALL UNIVERSES REMEMBER WE ARE ONLY IMMUNE BECAUSE WE OPENED THE PORTAL IN FRANCE BUT I AM AFRAID THIS MIGHT NOT BE PERMANENT I FEAR THERE IS SOMETHING M ISN T TELLING ME AND THAT THERE IS NOT MUCH TIME LEFT FOR US This would indicate that either we're in a different universe from Dempsey 1.0, or Takeo being held captive here happened before his capture by Group 935. While Division 9 were instructed to never let him leave, I doubt that'd stop Group 935 from extracting him after the facility fell to the zombies.

BTW, that invisible barrel barrier is fixed now. Not sure if I had anything to do with it because it's been reported numerous times by different players in every iteration of the map. But I was in contact with Activision's support about this issue earlier this year. We had a bit of back and forth, and I supplied them with a good number of video links demonstrating players getting hung up on that barrel. I didn't know if this effort would ever get anywhere, but at least I knew they were listening and acknowledging that the bug exists. Then in the next update patch I noticed the invisible barrier issue was fixed. Hooray! The maps finally playable for me again. - Mix

This month, my vote goes to @Tac for the numerous news articles, reddit input and topics created for Zetsubou No Shima (of which many exist as well as @Doppelgänger who has been very active and has posted some excellent content.
