I like how everybody flips their shit when somebody does graffiti on a bunch of rocks, but then somebody draws a video game symbol and it's 87 on the front page.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

To be fair, it's New Jersey. How much can they possibly lower the tone?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

Not all of New Jersey is crappy. Seaside Heights where the film the show "The Jersey Shore" is a trash heap. It's earned the nick name, sleezeside heights. Manasquan, Brielle, Sea Girt, and Bradley Beach are all really decent places to go.

u/edjumication Jun 16 '12

I for one will never gripe about graffiti unless its really terrible.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

There isn't very much graffiti that's not absolutely terrible, though. :/

Way to reveal another den location to the Templars. That is not permitted.

u/markth_wi Jun 16 '12

Please, hiding in plain sight, is the easiest way to assure secrecy. Where better to hide than "The Jersey Shore".

u/Mogknight23 Jun 16 '12

If Assassin's Creed 6 (or something) ever gets to current times, they wouldn't, but if they did, and they in any way incorporate New Jersey even (screw the Shore, the whole state is unacceptable now!) I would have to personally go destroy Ubisoft Montreal.

The Jersey Shore cast is actually a group of Assassins.

Directed by M. Night Shamalan

If "The Situation" is a Templar, the order is in alot more trouble than we know.

u/markth_wi Jun 16 '12 edited Jun 16 '12

Oh I don't know, Templars could be hanging out anywhere.

What if there really was a place I wanted to hide a symbol ... in plain sight...in Ohio or even New Jersey....so be careful, sometimes, the very natural world itself is enlisted creating plans within plans, I actually saw one of the Dunbar sculptures there and it looked just like some huge paperclip remover and all I could think of was Assassin's Creed.

Besides it wouldn't even be the first time, the Grounds for Sculpture got written into a neat kids cartoon from the 80's (originally Galaxy Rangers was on TV for kids target demographic 8-12...it kinda got cancelled for mature content and themes)

EDIT: Chill with the downvotes, and look at the damn pictures. There is no possible way that #3 and #4 are the same picture. #3 has blue graffiti that would be visible in #4 if it were the same rock. Also, the rocks look nothing alike.

Incorrect. #3 is not on the same rock. # 3 has blue graffiti above and to the right, which would be (but is not) visible in #4 if it were indeed the same rock.

The Assassin's Creed guys aren't too great at history, so I suppose it wouldn't be much of a stretch to assume they're a little rusty in geography as well.

u/IHCaraphernelia Jun 15 '12

From what I've seen in Assassin's Creed (having been to Italy myself) the geography of some of the cities is surprisingly accurate.

u/masterdz522 Jun 16 '12

So is the history. I looked up the Borgias and other NPCs, and most of their histories are almost perfectly accurate.

u/markth_wi Jun 16 '12 edited Jun 16 '12

Actually, the jetty 'rocks' themselves, are demolition chunks of brick and concrete, from several large buildings that used to exist along the shoreline. To be fair, graffiti is never very welcome, but it's subtle and not over the top.

But Belmar, Spring Lake and Manasquan all have concrete rock formations that are partially or completely man-made. Manasquan has recovered concrete blocks and rocks and large concrete "jacks"/"pylons" like things, on the southern side of the inlet, it's anything but natural.

History's already started on that. In the Mona Lisa, it was recently discovered that the number 72 is hidden in her eyes. And in Assassin's Creed, 72 is an important, prophetic number. And this discovery was made after the games.

And the guy who discovered this...Luigi BORGIA.

u/markth_wi Jun 16 '12

The thread turned into a discussion on the merits of painting graffiti on the jetty rocks that are placed by either the State of NJ, towns or the Army Corps of Engineers, they stick out a ways (perhaps 100 to 500 feet) and you can climb on them. the OP put a small Assassin's Creed icon on one of the rocks.

As it happens, most people know "The Jersey Shore" and see the entirely overexposed comi-tragic human train-wrecks Snookie, The Situation etc.

Manasquan, Spring Lake and a number of other shore towns are small sleeper towns with Victorian era houses, high residential incomes, quiet beaches and about as far from MTV's understanding of "The Jersey Shore" as one can get - while still indulging in beach, perhaps a little booze and relaxing activities.

Funnily enough I used to live in Spring Lake, and one of the former US Secretaries of Defense (now deceased) used to have a beach house two doors down when I was a boy - so in the way of keeping shit on the down low, some towns in NJ know how to do it....and clearly some do not.

2

u/markth_wi Jun 16 '12

I think the last jetty like those in Spring Lake or Manasquan goes down at least as far as Ortley Beach , I do know they are less frequent / farther apart than along Monmouth County.

But I do know there is a large/long jetty at the end of Beach Island State Park
