H4mster 1 Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Someone noticed a mast on the carrier control tower that has a blinking light that spelled out FIDOJEMOCNY in morse code. Does this mean anything?

Osric 1 Posted October 21, 2012 It could be a Czech word. ...Or you could just be over-thinking things. Simple test: what happened on September 11 2001? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scepticer 1 Posted October 21, 2012 Don't know about any meaning but regardless of that that is one h*ll of an observation! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Appogee 1 Posted October 21, 2012 According to intense Google research, JEMOCNY is a Slavic family name. FIDOJEMOCNY is obviously the JEMOCNY family's dog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thygrrr 1 Posted October 21, 2012 "FIDO JE MOCNY" means something like "Fido rules", or "Fido is powerful". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H4mster 1 Posted October 21, 2012 A guy called 'Bullseye for a Forehead' noticed this, he knows morse code so this would of caught his attention. Subs, destroyers, carriers, they all have morse code stuff, I seen this on 'The Hunt for Red October'. 'Bullseye for a Forehead', that could be someone who uses a periscope?

'Bullseye for a Forehead', that could be someone who uses a periscope? Actually, it's because when I first started playing CounterStrike, I got shot in the head a lot. Anyway, in case anyone has suspicions, I have no affiliation with Bohemia Interactive -- I'm just a guy who plays computer games and happens to know morse code -- so my handle has no bearing on it.

H4mster 1 Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Have no fear, H4mster will solve this mystery, some sherlock holmes episodes and a fresh carton of extra strength tin foil coming up. Seriously though this is entertaining :) Edited October 21, 2012 by H4mster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BullseyeForAForehead 1 Posted October 21, 2012 Considering the game's legacy, at first I thought it might be an old school cheat code, but if so I have not found a way to activate it. I tried typing it at the main screen, during the opening cinematic, and during the game, and I tried naming my profile after it, all to no avail. Of course, it's entirely possible that someone just wanted to memorialize someone named "Fido". Then again, someone in the thread on the Steam forum mentioned remembering seeing some reference to "fidonite" in the game... so the mystery may be deeper than it seems.

Master85 1 Posted October 21, 2012 looks like Fido is a nickname (Fi... Do... - check the credits) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ankroth 1 Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) looks like Fido is a nickname (Fi... Do... - check the credits) Yes, it is. Fido is a nickname for Filip Doksansky, the creator of the game engine (btw. it's heavily upgraded engine used in Alpha Prime). This game was originally developed by Black Element Software and studio was sold to Bohemia Interactive during development. I don't know what's Filip position in team right now, but back in old days he was the lead programmer in Black Element.

Depth 1 Posted October 22, 2012 Amazing :) You guys just uncovered an Easter Egg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
disorder 1 Posted October 28, 2012 EH cool. I guess that's why the game shipped with a lot of problems too, it was coded by 2 teams. (or coded by one team and then hastily 'fixed' by BI to get it production ready) In either case, I still admire the game despite its flaws. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PARAKAS 10 Posted November 2, 2012 "FIDO JE MOCNY" means something like "Fido rules", or "Fido is powerful". Hey, this is to scare enemy carrier or even more enemy island before attacking.
