Why can't their kids draw proper? kek

Yeah I can only guess they're a fashion brand

yeah

# pure loom Urban wear

It's the 2080s and you're telling me the Urban Wear company is being out Urbaned by a company selling Bandoliers with built in drink dispensers?

pure loom
#

Slightly odd that the + symbol isn't symmetrical

slender lodge
#

one of them said "remember when techwear was considered futuristic?"

#

so im guessing its like 2050 to 2080

slender lodge
#

is it long from the bottom?

#

i think they just drew that from a brush in photoshop lol

pure loom
#

Maybe the "cross" + symbol is deliberate and it's also pointing to it being a cathedral

pure loom
slender lodge
#

oh

#

are the other sides symmetrical tho

fallen jasper
#

I think? I cannot tell lol

pure loom
#

That must be deliberate

tulip matrix
#

Ugh I want to continue staring at page 73 of my google image search for swedish milk carton but need to go to bed 😫

slender lodge
#

its only by one pixel but you can def tell

#

unless they really just rushed it

#

i think theres a good chance its deliberate

pure loom
tulip matrix
#

I'll chat with you eggsters tmorow pikaWave

slender lodge
#

cya Duh!

#

Duh Duhm and Duhmeister

fallen jasper
slender lodge
#

buy it

fallen jasper
#

We found the answer

slender lodge
#

thats a bargain

#

im starting a kickstarter

#

also a side note to the padlet

#

if something looks explorable from the start, make sure to make space for it before hand so we dont have to move it around as much

fallen jasper
#

Yeah

#

Just reworking it now

slender lodge
#

its all good

fallen jasper
#

Using this one?

slender lodge
#

oh

#

i think i was using the wrong one

fallen jasper
#

I changed my name from justicecharity1 to JusticeCharity, but it also changes the name of the Padlet LOL

slender lodge
#

i had it open for a long time, then closed my laptop and reopened it and it wasnt updated 😂

#

maybe thats why

fallen jasper
#

Hmm

slender lodge
#

i added corner ones

#

its easier to traverse the padlet that way

fallen jasper
#

ik

slender lodge
#

oh i hope ur ok with it

fallen jasper
#

I is

slender lodge
#

😄

#

im guessing blue ones are given by embark to us

#

green is our guesses

#

whats orange and red

fallen jasper
#

Blue are Embark Clues, Red is the current Tier we're working on, Green are clues from the images, and Orange are our guesses.

slender lodge
#

ohhhh

#

gotchaa

fallen jasper
#

I think we've probably gotten as much done tonight as we're going to

#

Unless Kramer Funeral is the hint we've been missing

slender lodge
#

hmmmm

#

nothing clicks for me in that website so far

fringe trench
#

maybe do an extra box in the top left to list the colour legends

#

like :
Blue: Embark Clues.
Red: The current Tier we're working on.
Green: Clues from the images.
Orange: Our guesses.

fallen jasper
#

Added

steady bough
#

i got it

#

its eggman from Sonic

#

i mean him and galileo are both scientists

slender lodge
#

except one looks like an egg

#

GUYS , YOU'RE AMAZING. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

fallen jasper
#

Heya Egg

#

This is the updated Padlet

slender lodge
pure loom
#

Actually, it would be good to have a channel that only had concept art posted in it, I'll add it to #1009830633448685658

slender lodge
#

^^^

#

good to have a dedicated channel for the better or for worse

fallen jasper
slender lodge
#

and then add a new channel for embark specific media

#

cuz then otherwise it'd get too cluttered

#

yeah but good idea, i forgot it was just here that we got to see the wonderful new artworks

fringe trench
#

what do you guys think we'll find at the end of the hunt?

slender lodge
pure loom
#

Seriously though, maybe we'll get rewarded with an image for a feature in the game that we don't know about or something like that

fallen jasper
#

Level 4

fringe trench
#

the end of the hunt is another hunt PepeHands

slender lodge
#

yeah i hope theres something that ties into the lore or the game itself because idk if i personally can do that much if its just random puzzles

pure loom
#

Like concept art X 9 , then MEGA concept art and so on

slender lodge
#

maybe at the end of each full tier?

pure loom
slender lodge
#

it took us 4 days to finish tier 1-a lol

#

wait no

pure loom
#

I guess we gotta keep in mind that there's only so much they can do before the game releases - after that there can be EEs that are tied into rewards in the game etc, like they did in Battlefield

#

Right now, we're earning our TFEE street cred pupperWeird

slender lodge
#

oh right

fallen jasper
#

The end of the path is a key for the Finals Closed Beta

slender lodge
#

thats gonna be suuuuper interesting to find actually

slender lodge
#

after we start finding EE's in-game, we might also be able to snag some exclusive items maybe like how they had exclusive dogtags or skins

pure loom
#

I want my Galileo telescope gun charm

slender lodge
#

a galileo telescope as a sniper scope

#

lmfao

pure loom
#

true!

slender lodge
#

man i'd be the fastest galileo on the planet

pure loom
#

that's a great idea!

fringe trench
#

itd be sick if current hunters could get exclusive stuff for when the game releases, but would be hard to tell who actually participated

pure loom
#

An asteroid launcher

slender lodge
#

:0

#

as the rocket launcher

slender lodge
#

well we have a long way to go, but im glad we were able to finish t1-a in 4 days 😄

slender lodge
#

morning darnoux ❤️

#

hows it going

#

good too::) just making my bed haha

fallen jasper
#

I bought a gold package for Padlet so we're set on Padlet for a bit

mortal ivy
#

Good morning! Saw something about the padlet being messed up? But nice job Justice for recreating it 😊

#

I dreamt that www.reachthefinals.com/g-go was the last part of the hunt and I had to message rob to confirm as I didn’t want to spoil all the fun 😅

floral plover
mortal ivy
#

Yeah, it might have been the Embark Gods planting a seed in my brain

floral plover
#

no its like you guys are searching for a conspiracy theory

mortal ivy
#

We need a map to collaborate on different clues with people in different time zones. Before we had a board there needed to be recaps ever 6 hours or so. This is more organized 🤗

tawny mural
#

Something I've realized on the pig pen code is that the decoded result changes depending on orientation (upside down, sideways, mirrored, etc.). I've ran through the 8 possible orientations and didn't find anything reasonable, but that is something to keep in mind if later clues point in that direction.

pure loom
steady bough
#

hm

#

i got this from mirroring to the left

#

with Grid pigpen tho

slender lodge
#

That's pogg

steady bough
#

also got this

#

from using assassins creed pigpen

#

xD

#

which

#

is close to this

#

im stretching it tho

#

i still feel its not pigpen

#

for some reason

slender lodge
#

I'm about to head off for the night. Wish you guys good luck for the hunt 🤠 goodnight ❤️❤️

steady bough
#

night Swa

#

you better wake up with the answer

mortal ivy
#

Nite nite Swa!

mortal ivy
#

This is the swedish spelling, no joke

steady bough
#

i dont think so

#

theres no dots involved

#

but i cant find any exactly like the one were trying to solve

#

what if its not even a cipher

#

this part isnt even lined up right

#

same here

fringe trench
#

yeah i noticed that too, a lot of it doesnt line up. i cant think of a reason why itd be jank other than it was hand made.

spiral plume
#

hand made trying to find the different shade

steady bough
#

also why is there such a big space here

spiral plume
#

that space is actually there

steady bough
#

everything else is 1 pixel away while here is like 4 or 5

mortal ivy
#

It’s a super common ”child cipher”
It’s cool to write notes to friends but it’s not a safe cipher at all

unkempt crypt
#

The embarker who made that is sweating like crazy rn..

steady bough
#

inb4 its rob

mortal ivy
#

No it was Tragic who traced the original image, so we should disregard pixel differenxes

spiral plume
#

lmao I was the one that traced over the original

#

It was a pain to see the slight shade difference

steady bough
#

ah

#

so it COULD be wrong

spiral plume
#

me rn: sweatpepe

#

The shapes/lines wouldn't be really any different besides being all the exact same length.

#

They're only a few pixels off

mortal ivy
#

This is when I first spotted the lines

#

Tragic’s lines are 99% the actual lines

fringe trench

heres the decrypted codes with the space

Idk, but amer is a fkr for sure

steady bough

Ahir sounds like a name

mortal ivy

Ahir’s kill death ratio is horrible

spiral plume

What? He's got a 5 and 6 kdr

#

pretty good

#

Don't know how he has 2 different ones

#

Must be smurfin

steady bough
#

hmmmmmm

pure loom
steady bough
#

i also wonder if this level has to do with the last

steady bough
#

1-a

pure loom
#

Oh the last level

#

Right, yes, it could do

#

I find the placement of the egg and other thing interesting - it’s like it’s on a planet in the black logo circle

#

I’d like to get to the bottom of the FKR AMER thing first though

#

I found this

#

Yeah, it’s a stretch

steady bough
#

im still stuck on the "milk carton and egg"

pure loom
#

I’m not convinced it’s a milk carton

steady bough
#

same

pure loom
#

Or maybe an egg…

steady bough
#

the egg COULD be a top down view of a skull

pure loom
#

Or an orbital path

steady bough
#

o

#

0

pure loom
#

It could also be an egg

steady bough
#

i just tried neptune since it was another name for Poseidon

#

maybe its a word that ends with egg

mortal ivy
#

Occams razor people

steady bough
#

i also think its not a plus sign

#

looks like a cross to me

#

sideways

#

yes

mortal ivy
#

Devon?!?

pure loom
#

Yes, I think it’s made to look like a plus, but is a cross

#

Maybe we are back to the egg in the church with the sunbeam on it

steady bough
#

maybe

#

maybe well get another clue

steady bough
#

same

#

this one has a lot less info

#

thats why im thinking we either have the wrong "code" or theres another hint

digital blade
#

carry the 2 and youll find the answer

pure loom
#

Maybe the gap between FKR and AMER suggests they should be converted to numbers like a reference of some kind

steady bough
#

idk why but i dont think its a cipher

#

ye idk i think were missing a clue

pure loom
#

Hmmm… hey @proud minnow, for the level that we completed already, can I ask if we observed most of the clues that were laid down for us, or are we not observing well enough overall? It’s hard to tell if we just keep skimming the surface or not, especially when we eventually get the answer after a few clues.

pure loom
#

I’d laugh if he just replied “no.” kek

steady bough
#

he was typing so much then just left ;-;

pure loom
#

Game delayed due to answering annoying questions megaLUL

steady bough
#

but the questions is super duper important

pure loom
steady bough
#

or looking too hard

sharp flame
#

Idk, I think that the answer to that question is more spoilery than anything

proud minnow
#

Hi.!
There are actually some clues you missed in the images released for Level 2 - T1A... some of the clues have multiple levels so they can actually help you in the future, both in the EE-hunt now and for future EE's in the actual game when it is live, so I will not spoil these ones... However, there are some clues that are only used to solve T1A that I could tell you now since that tier is completed.

For example - The ray of light on the egg in the Pisa Cathedral is a clue to help you figure out that we are looking for a DATE. On 25th March, midday, ray light hits the egg on the north side of the cathedral. This marks the Feast of the Annunciation, which is the same date that marks the first day of the year in the Pisan calendar... Construction of the Pisa Cathedral started 1063, BUT according to the Pisan calendar of the time, the construction started 1064.

On the second image, there was two prominent flowers that are not visible in the trailer present. The flower is called Aethusa cynapium (Fools parsley). This is a dangerous flower and the latin name is derived from the Arab word 'ai' what means burning, since the plant gives you burning pains.

Pretty obvious, right, hehe

steady bough
#

ayo

sharp flame
#

No way

pure loom
#

The rabbit holes are deep

sharp flame
#

There was a point I had a Google image search of fool's parsley open next to the image lmao

steady bough
#

so that also answers the question if older pictures clues tie with newer ones

pure loom
sharp flame
#

Not enough apparently 🤣

#

Anyway now we know which clues to discard

steady bough
#

no

sharp flame
#

I don't think we'll need any more help from Rob, imo

sharp flame
steady bough
#

but those clues could still tie into the future ones

pure loom
#

True, but I think worth it to know this stuff going forward

steady bough
#

THANKS ROB

sharp flame
#

"only used to solve T1A"

steady bough
#

hes lyin

sharp flame
#

but there are so many that are still there 😭

pure loom
#

Basically we need to not dismiss anything in the pictures as being a clue

sharp flame
#

Including the plants..

pure loom
#

Including the plants

#

The sheriff badges in the last image are stars, for instance

sharp flame
#

I think the writing on the gun might play in

pure loom
#

Slightly odd gif haha

#

Maybe it still is

steady bough
#

anyone can read any of the signs on Take Cover?

#

i dont have any photo enhancing programs and the forensic website doesnt really help with seeing letters

sharp flame
#

Unintelligible

pure loom
sharp flame
#

on second viewing the plant is pretty visible

tranquil ivy
#

So now we have to find out what this plant is i'm guessing?

steady bough
#

its Aethusa

tranquil ivy
#

Ohhhh

sharp flame
#

Fool's Parsley, which the asteroid is named after

steady bough
#

it cause throat BURNING when swallowed

sharp flame
#

ngl I wouldn'tve considered that a clue haha

fringe trench
#

anyone know what these beads are? looks like prayer beads or something

steady bough
#

let it breathe?

sharp flame
#

Just realised some of the 1A clues will be used all the used in EEs post-release 😭

pure loom
#

Maybe the beads represent something too

fringe trench
#

also what type of lmg is it? i cant find it

steady bough
#

m240?

#

just off the top of my head

fringe trench
#

nah m240 is too old

steady bough
#

age matters?

fringe trench
#

no i mean the one in the image looks more modern lmao. this is an m240

#

ah i got it

#

its an m60

pure loom
sharp flame
#

okay I got the inscription wrong

#

the final line (on the SMG) reads 'VIRTUAL FIREARM 32'

steady bough
#

also

sharp flame
#

maybe 32 has some significance?

#

Rob also said that there are some clues we missed in the images released for T1A, which we could use in the hunt now and later

steady bough
#

right

#

thats why im looking at the Fire one

sharp flame
#

I think "Oriri ex Cinere" has at least one clue left in it

#

for some of these we have to look literally

steady bough
#

that symbol or whatever i posted is on the guysside of backpack

#

idk im going to sleep

#

sharp flame

there is a word there

Gianfranco Parolini (20 February 1925 in Rome, Italy – 26 April 2018 in Rome, Italy) was an Italian film director. He is often credited as Frank Kramer. Among his films are The Sabata Trilogy, several sword and sandal films, most of the Kommissar X films and a number of Spaghetti Westerns.
He claimed to have written over 100 thriller novels befo...

#

Kommissar X or Commissioner X is a German crime fiction series of books from the Pabel Moewig publishing house. "Kommissar X" is a private detective named Joe Louis Walker who was a counterpart of the German crime fiction FBI Special Agent Jerry Cotton. In addition to the vast collection of books, between 1965 and 1971 seven Kommissar X films ...

#

probably one of these dates

steady bough
#

but what about the egg and carton

sharp flame
#

not all clues have to be put into play for 1B specifically I think

#

but finding another connection would totally help

fringe trench
#

there were 7 films named the same thing

steady bough
#

not any of the dates

sharp flame
#

okay okay, but still, we can eliminate FKRAMER now

#

and (Kommissar X)

#

also I only checked his page cause he was the only Italian

#

not sure if that's supposed to tie in

steady bough
#

with the western theme of it tho

#

could be under his Spaghetti westerns

sharp flame
#

oh shitt

#

of course it is

#

like the fire, and the meteors

#

100% western

steady bough
#

yeah idk how that ties in

look I don't know yet

steady bough

its right there

but most of the clues are tying together now

#

I think we're really close now

steady bough

maybe were missing something

sharp flame

wait what

#

I just tied all the clues together at once

steady bough

but still no password

sharp flame
#

bruhh

steady bough
#

ive tried all the dates and names

#

titles

#

sharp flame
#

look at the spaghetti western wikipedia page

#

maybe something will tie in

tranquil ivy
#

Which film are we going off here btw?

sharp flame
#

director

#

Gianfranco Parolini

tranquil ivy
#

hmmm

sharp flame
#

AKA Frank Kramer

#

AKA director of Kommissar X

sharp flame
#

The term was used by foreign critics because most of these Westerns were produced and directed by Italians

#

(Spaghetti Western)

steady bough
#

idk, good night

sharp flame
#

He also directed "sword and sandal" films, again Italian based and related to Greek/Roman mythology

#

(Poseidon link)?

timid solstice
#

morning all

#

i just saw robs message.. we were all very good with finding clues just didnt quite piece it together.

#

Lets CRACK tier 1b !!

steady bough
#

We already did

#

Kinda

sharp flame
#

Nearly

#

we've connected all the current clues

#

we need to either find a new one in the image, or look back at 1A (or further back)

timid solstice
#

So they are ingredients… but for pasta !

sharp flame
#

I think so, yeah

#

Spaghetti, as in Spaghetti Western

timid solstice
#

you should add this to the padlet

sharp flame
#

Already did

fringe trench
#

might be worth looking for american/cowboy or gun references?

timid solstice
#

ok i see on the one pinned

sharp flame
#

I.. think so?

sharp flame

in one of his western movies

timid solstice

prayer beads hmm

A movie so bad the main actor left

tranquil ivy

I can't people are screaming outside

Oh? Like party screaming? Fighting Screaming?

sharp flame
#

was using this one

#

cause it was pinned

fringe trench
#

nah not that one

#

thats the old one

#

this one is payed for

sharp flame
#

what's the difference

steady bough
#

Like fighting/asking for help screaming

fringe trench
#

it lets us upload as much as we want in terms of pictures/files and i think we were limited with the amount of boards before

sharp flame
#

okay sure

#

Mods, can we pin the new one?

tawdry jungle
#

of course! what do you want pinned exactly?

fringe trench
#

unpin the old one too pls

this is the new one, the other 1B one is older

ty!

timid solstice

the image from t1a is so small on there

#

can we pin the full res please for quick reference @tawdry jungle 🙏🏻

timid solstice
#

I have to go do some work, @sharp flame you are so close keep going

#

perhaps collate a list of Gianfranco Parolini / Frank Kramers western movies and dates they were released

#

then try cross reference characters relating to the artwork

Are people onboard with that the carton might actually be a flour bag now?

Because the logo looks kind of like wheat (ish)

fringe trench
#

yeah i think so

sharp flame
#

Hey @proud minnow ,
I was just wondering, during 1A, was the Galileo egg image released to have nudged us in the right direction? (as in, if we'd solved it earlier, the image would have never seen the light of day)

mortal ivy
#

The same thing happened in the end of Level 1.
NamaTama held the Beans can to make use focus on that specific thing.

Maybe they just have someone who really loves to do NamaTama artwork and takes any chances they get to do it 😄

sharp flame
#

Sure, but it could be a real shame that we miss out on some cool NamaTama renders because we were too good at solving EEs

timid solstice
#

I reckon the artists are so talented they knock them out in their sleep

Time to self sabotage the EE hunt so we get more egg NamaTama

# tawdry jungle of course! what do you want pinned exactly?

I feel like I should probably give some context to why we wanted you to unpin the first Padlet. Free users of Padlet can only have 3 of them at any one time before you have to delete them. Since we've been using it a lot as a community I went ahead and bought a membership for it so we don't have a 3 project limit. That way it isn't spread across 20 people.

No worries at all! I am not really sure what happened, but from the things I scrolled through when I woke up it appeared that stuff had been rearranged and was hard to look at and then you created a new padlet to fix it or something 🤷 I don't mind either way haha

The hat in the artwork looks a lot like Sabata’s

sharp flame
#

Well it is a cowboy hat

fallen jasper
#

^

#

lol

sharp flame
#

but that is worth looking into

#

Maybe the horns on the gun is a reference

fallen jasper
#

Sabata doesn't have a yellow brim on it. It's just black

sharp flame
#

or the stars

#

basically anything Western (which is everything lmao)

Ironic as we're using electronic devices here

sharp flame

I think the colour is very similar to the other tier

slender lodge

The first tier?

#

Yeah

sharp flame

I was wondering why there were so many finalists

#

They gotta switch up the colour a bit

XDDDD

its called a Brick perhaps Gambler for the flat rim Style I think

that is, if it's accurate to their style ofc

just a thought

It's not milk

It's flour

The badge has an X on it. Perhaps we are looking for a sheriff

Flour+egg=pasta aka spaghetti

yeehaw pasta

Maybe there are omelette dramas

mortal ivy
#

Well, neither MIGHT spaghetti haha

tulip matrix
#

S Korea has sandwich dramas

steady bough
#

But the name we found has everything to do with spaghetti

mortal ivy
#

Yes, but then you are banking on that FKramer is the correct way to read the cipher, in order to tie it to spaghetti

steady bough
#

But it makes total sense

#

Kommissar X is on the lmg

#

Which is directed by The guy known as Frank Kramer

#

Also the picture is Western themed

mortal ivy
#

So, if we have all that, we should be able to locate the password

sharp flame
mortal ivy
#

I wasn't actually aware of it

#

It makes more sense now

sharp flame
#

honestly can't believe I remembered that name

mortal ivy
#

Yeah, I saw it on the padlet. All these clues points us even harder than Aethusa did, so we should be able to find a password / passcode

sharp flame
#

Very soon I assume

#

I also assumed the Spaghetti Western had something to do with it

#

only cause it's on the first line of his Wikipedia page haha

mortal ivy
#

This guy also lived in Rome, it seems

#

As someone from the Americas wouldn't have tied that nicely together with the earlier clues

sharp flame

I only really took a look at him because he was Italian

Ah, you just want more egg

Namatama is love namatama is life

sharp flame

those are really cool renders and it would be a shame if they were only posted if we were taking too long

steady bough
#

Hm

sharp flame
#

Or maybe that's just me

mortal ivy
#

If the clues pointed us to FKramer/G Parolini, maybe we need to look at what films he have done which fits the previous themes of the EE (greek/italian/roman):
3 Avengers
79 A.D
Samson (?)
The Fury of Hercules
The Ten Gladiators

steady bough
#

Since @cold forum is a cowboy, he should help us 😉

sharp flame
#

I don't think they have access to when and how the hidden NamaTama images are posted though haha

steady bough
#

The ten gladiators keeps popping up for me. Id start there

mortal ivy
sharp flame
#

either the Greek/Roman movies, or the Cowboy movies

sharp flame
#

Both are good leads

steady bough
#

The only movie I see Frank Kramer tho is God's Gun

mortal ivy
#

Description of 10 gladiators ends like this: *must rescue Lidia, Resius' beautiful niece, from death on the cross. *

#

Cross, as the cross between the flour and egg? 👀

The Spaghetti Western is a good find

sharp flame

took me a bit of mental stretching ngl

steady bough

Like the answer is right there, I feel it but it honestly could be anything

mortal ivy
#

Yep

#

Just like 1064 🌬️

pure loom
#

You can almost smell it

steady bough
#

Sorry I farted

sharp flame
#

I think the Kommissar X confirms Kramer 100%, and the Spaghetti Western is where we should be looking

#

but I haven't found much

steady bough
#

Right. It could be any spaghetti western and the name could just be to have us look there

mortal ivy
sharp flame
#

Rise from the ashes...

maybe this one?

It's gotta be one of his films

or maybe he was supposed to lead us to the genre of Spaghetti Westerns themselves?

steady bough
#

Or does it

agile goblet
#

are we sure the image from t1-a will give pass for t1-b ?

mortal ivy
#

Are we certain that this says .33?
Because otherwise the 9.xx might be a date?

sharp flame
agile goblet
#

it could be t1-f

sharp flame
#

33?

#

it's 32

#

at least when I zoom in on the highest res

mortal ivy
sharp flame
#

it's pretty clear

#

And there's no . before 33, my bad

mortal ivy
#

32 still rules out a day of a month. Still the possbility of 9 (sept) 1932

sharp flame
#

It goes:
THE FINALS. CAL 9 MM
DISCOVERY CORP. T.F
VIRTUAL FIREARM 32

#

Discovery Corp was the most interesting takeaway imo

#

I can't zoom in right now, but can someone go to the image on the 1A site and confirm if it's 32 or 33?

fallen jasper
sharp flame
#

32

#

damn okay

i think 33

Looks like a 32 to me 🤔

okay my eyes can be trusted then

mortal ivy

serpenger wins, they know the csi tools

sharp flame
#

thank god

okay honestly, EVERYTHING in these images is a clue

mortal ivy
#

I'm just happy I could see the 9 without need for good magnification

sharp flame
#

we made that mistake with 1A

#

those damn plants

hidden nacelle
#

looks like 32 to me

mortal ivy
#

Yeah, with rob telling us that the ray of light on the egg meant 1063 but debated to be 1064, we certainly shouldnt overlook a 9 and a 32

sharp flame
#

if something in the image can be named, we find its name

#

simple as that

#

either that or 32 is random and I'm deluding myself

mortal ivy
#

These things might be connected to a spaghetti western movie?

sharp flame
#

we really can't risk to discount them

#

Just the director and his career in Spaghetti (Flour+Egg) Westerns

mortal ivy
#

And to go all BarrelsBarrelsBarrels on this image, doesnt the hat say 1315?

hidden nacelle
#

could this black cloth be this thing on his back?

fallen jasper
sharp flame

Wait it really does

#

that could be 1515 too

mortal ivy
#

yeah, it could

fallen jasper
#

Well those 2 aren't the password

sharp flame
#

well it would be really funny if it was

steady bough

I don't think they'll just give us the password on the image itself

who had that better enhancer by the way?

The Battle of Montecatini was fought in the Val di Nievole on 29 August 1315 between the Republic of Pisa, and the forces of both the Kingdom of Naples and the Republic of Florence. The army of Pisa, commanded by Uguccione della Faggiuola, won a victory. The Neapolitan forces, made up of 3200 cavalry and 30,000-60,000 infantry, were commanded by...

# neon stream Tomar Fernet (drink Fernet). An Italian drink popular in Argentina 😛

😂

The Italian liqueur has a cult following in the international bartending community and is immensely popular in Argentina.[2] The South American country consumes more than 75% of all fernet produced globally[3] and, due to the product's popularity, also has Fratelli Branca's only distillery outside of Italy.[2] As it is traditionally mixed with Coke, fernet has also contributed in making Argentina one of the biggest consumers of Coca-Cola in the world.[3] Fernet and Coke (Spanish: fernet con coca) is so ubiquitous in Argentina that it has been described as "the country's unofficial drink"

If anyone is still wondering if there's a pixel gap between the squared symbols I can comfortable say that the end of third and fourth square has the same distance between them as everything else

We almost need two colours for ideas - one that is not confirmed in any way and one that we think is confirmed

there are only two holes if there's a two-pronged latch

then the single holes wouldn't work

every double-holed item that I'm seeing has double holes the whole way down
