All I know is Rob is super patient.. hehe
it's in Pinned for next time you wanna grab it!
I can do this for years... but we have so much more for you so you better hurry up and get to the next tier... sOOn.!
Is the jet a light medium or heavy jet?
double star?
But what is a "bond clue"..?
:
I mean, how many alternative A698 exist out there, **
: Avro 698 Vulcan = Vulcan (hypothetical planet)**
well I can think of a couple,
: hypothetical planets = Planet X etc
*but if I had to pick one answer,
I would probably answer zero to be 100% honest... ._. *
OO
alternative Vulcans...
👀
trying to decipher it with vulcan
A hypothetical Solar System object is a planet, natural satellite, subsatellite or similar body in the Solar System whose existence is not known, but has been inferred from observational scientific evidence. Over the years a number of hypothetical planets have been proposed, and many have been disproved. However, even today there is scientific s...

now we just need the one which Rob calls 0
What does a printer have to do with space?
well it uses co-ordinates, so could be related to cartesian and shapes
It's printing a round object 😅
and oval from that perspective too
The oval
well.. the oval is.. an oval
U+A698 is the unicode hex value of the character Cyrillic Capital Letter Double O. Char U+A698, Encodings, HTML Entitys:Ꚙ,Ꚙ, UTF-8 (hex), UTF-16 (hex), UTF-32 (hex)
well done, nice find!
GLHF...time to get some sleep... ._.
❤️❤️❤️
vesica piscis could be what this is
as in vesica piscis is pointing towards what this is pointing towards
could be two orbit ovals?
so Vulcan is out
how so?
for now
U+A698 is double OO not the jet Vulcan
na I dont think so, not for this one
bruh
yeah I know but he posted OO
we had Vulcan in like the third last clue he gave us
Vulcan is confirmed, A698 is the Vulcan
Double O ⟨Ꚙ ꚙ⟩ is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is found in some early Old Church Slavonic manuscripts, where it is used in place of ⟨О⟩ in: двꚙе "two"' ꚙбо "both"' ꚙбанадесять "twelve"' and двꚙюнадесять "twelve". The Cyrillic "double O" looks similar to the Latin-script double-o ligature: ⟨ꝏ⟩.
I am assuming it's both..
if we reinterpret this then
I'm jk
I mean, how many Vulcan/OO exist out there,
well I can think of a couple,
but if I had to pick one answer,
I would probably answer zero to be 100% honest... ._.
..
I feel like this also has two meanings
zero as in there are zero existing out there
or zero as an example of one of them
ooh
OO
00+the printer gif=?
Atomic bond?
its not confirmed, the episode linked to 79 A.D. He didnt ❤️ the planet
101 frames in the gif.
I wonder how we would interpret this then
if 830606 is Octopussy
and maybe not Vulcan
I swear we've had this convo haha
we're bound to 🤣
There are a serious number of repeat frames in a gif that is so short.
idk I'm gonna hedge my bets internally on the 'missing planet' scheme
if we had some bfee hunters in here....
Idk if all gifs are that way?
but I think yeah, OO is safer
yep yep..
this is what I was remembering
I reckon probably not
I mean sure they aren't the same thing, but yknow Rob and his double meanings
keep your eyes open
👀
Imagine if the answer was 👀
hmm, maybe there is a double meaning in that first bit
I think Vulcan was just my go-to cause it was talked about recently
Octopussy is only first mentioned after that clue is posted
yeah it is connected
hmm yeah here #easter-eggs message
OCTUPUS 🐙
Rob just-
posted a tentacle...
octopussy
Time to sleep... see you sOOn.!
GN!
the O's what do they mean!!!!
gah
Octopus was also the spectre logo
why is rob obsessed with 007 👀
I guess he's just a James Bond fan
why are we obsessed with The Finals..?
?!?!?!?
!?!?!?!
nice... I love that you inverted my message there... ._.
my guess its from a video, or flipped
that sounds sarcastic 😭
01110100 01110010 01101111 01101100 00110000 01110100 01100101 00111101 01100101
we tried inverting it, binary was an error
no, i think it was cool, I wrote "?!?!?!?" and you replied "!?!?!?!" I thought "hmm, what does THAT mean"
gonna head off.. see y'all!
cya !
you know what else is cool?
(still not buying this 🥹)
don't you mean "cOOl"? 🤔
y'all are doing super gOOd. any progress is good progress. hope you solve it!
time
"?!?!?!?" has the same format as "79=48=111=0x30", not sure if important 😅
Dusty typing 👀
Go. To. Bed. ROB! 👉
hihi.... sorry Dusty, I know it's late... ._.
Hang in there… keep your eyes open, 830606 will hopefully make more sense soon…
Hang in there like an octopus ?
Go. To. Bed. Dusty!
Stay. Up. Serpenger! We. Need. You!
stay up and play THAT game
This is an interesting comment. There must me a reason why we need to get the answer soon.
BTW Dusty, before I go to bed... have you heard anything from our sponsors lately..?
Rob...we can talk about that tomorrow IF, and only if, you go to bed now.
👀
what other sponsors names are known?
Holtow
Volpe
...
14
DEAL see you at embark FIRST THING in the morning...!
I'll be in the office before you will. Night!
hmmmm iff makes me think of sets 🤔
"The International Standards Organization (ISO) in specification ISO 8601 states: "midnight may only be referred to as '00:00', corresponding to the beginning of a calendar day.""
Sorry, I @ you by mistake 😅
In logic and related fields such as mathematics and philosophy, "if and only if" (shortened as "iff") is a biconditional logical connective between statements, where either both statements are true or both are false.
The connective is biconditional (a statement of material equivalence), and can be likened to the standard material conditional ("o...
I think I need some food to wade through this minefield of clues with
silent hype
new URLs maybe
The ellipsis ... (, also known informally as dot dot dot) is a series of dots that indicates an intentional omission of a word, sentence, or whole section from a text without altering its original meaning. The plural is ellipses. The term originates from the Ancient Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis meaning 'leave out'.Opinions differ as to how to rend...
holy shit so many messages to read through to catch up since yesterday
the only other sponsor that I think we could guess the name of would be this one, which looks like vaiiya
also rob seems to be laughing a lot recently, a lot of hihi's
dont suppose that is meant to be a clue
Nitrous oxide (dinitrogen oxide or dinitrogen monoxide), commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous, or nos, is a chemical compound, an oxide of nitrogen with the formula N2O. At room temperature, it is a colourless non-flammable gas, and has a slightly sweet scent and taste. At elevated temperatures, nitrous oxide is a powerful oxidiser similar to...
Are all "hihi"s double? 🤔
Hmmm
It does look as a clue, until you see that last one with 3 🤔
Why did you laugh with 3 that time Rob??? 😭
hopefully we just get some new sponser stuff and we solve it from that so i can stop analysing the way rob talks to such a high degree , haha
Good thing you noticed still! Maybe it is a clue!
It is by finding patterns that we get to the answers, after all 😛
I feel like its gonna be like previous clues where when we solve it, the answer isnt gonna link with 90% of the clues initially and we will have to go back and take time to actually find the intended links
Out Of Phase Stereo (OOPS) is an audio technique which manipulates the phase of a stereo audio track, to isolate or remove certain components of the stereo mix. It works on the principle of phase cancellation, in which two identical but inverted waveforms summed together will "cancel the other out".
Maybe they hid something in the trailer audio with this technique?
I can potentially investigate that in Adobe Audition
Now I'm thinking maybe the OOPS is a reference to the OO clues 😭
Everything is connected...
Object oriented programming
well something is coming soon

alphae

well no it's not an alpha 
Charlie beta
I think it's called a beta
omgea
Omgea
omg EA
Blues will you be making the announcement
as like a bye bye gift?
no idea 

I tried using audacity to split the stereo channels, invert the waveform of one channel and then remix into a single mono channel. Which sounded interesting but nothing stood out to me as a clue
Hopefully there won't be too much madness

I didnt fill in the survey in time so didnt get beta 😦
what do you mean?
in the Embark playtesting server, There was a playtest sign up link, I didnt get to it in time and all slots were filled
ah, but that's not the case for THE FINALS 
hmm pretty sure it was
nope, the only way to register is through Steam 
Don't worry, any opportunity you see there has nothing to do with our planned activities for THE FINALS.
Oh!
if that was the case we'd have announced it 😆
well what ever it was, it was on the playtest discord for 2 days I think and was gone before I read it properly
today
two-day
48 hours is two days
00:00 is the middle of two days
similar to how (0,0) is the middle of the graph for quadratic equations

the quadratic equation for an ellipse where x and y are 4 and 8 would be fairly egg shaped
Any guesses on which one of us got to the office first this morning? 🤔 ⁉️
Me or @proud minnow?
me

🤔
you 
Rob..? 👀
Might be a trick question, might both work from home
Flex4d - you should PROBABLY reconsider that answer... ._.
@proud minnow I dare you to have a Charlie playtest #innovation 😂
Rob but only because he didn't go to sleep when you told him and just didn't sleep at all
Actually, shouldn’t it be a Gamma playtest?
Otherwise it would be a Bravo not a Beta
Greek alphabet all the way 
Bravo Test! Sounds fun
bravo six
So many references to, "first thing and 00" the concept of doubles in general. I wish I was more present in the beginning and middle of this tier I feel even more lost than the first two.
This k-pop band has an album called “12:00” and a song on that is called “oops” 
[12:00] (read as "midnight") is the third extended play by South Korean girl group Loona. It was released on October 19, 2020, by Blockberry Creative and distributed by Kakao M. Like their previous album [#], the EP was produced by SM Entertainment founder and producer Lee Soo-man, and the group's leader HaSeul once again did not take part in th...
First thing in the morning would technically be midnight or 00:00 right? If you really want to get technical about it.
Yes
What if Rob was still at the office at midnight 
I’m not sure what this has to do with the answer 
Secret Midnight meetings between Rob and Dusty at the Embark offices where they swap easter egg secrets!
We need someone to go undercover at the Embark studio and stay there until midnight.
WTF… remember Rob’s hihihi ‘clues’? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi_High
"Hi High" is a song released by South Korean girl group Loona. It was released on August 20, 2018, as the title track of Loona's EP [+ +], by Blockberry Creative. It is the second single released by Loona as a full twelve-member group.
The same group as the “oops” song
lOOna as the artist and it's the title song of their EP ++
Doubles all over the place
Loona (commonly stylized in all caps or as LOOΠΔ; Korean: 이달의 소녀; RR: Idarui Sonyeo; Japanese: 今月の少女, romanized: Kongetsu no Shōjo, lit. 'Girl of the Month') is a South Korean eleven-member girl group formed by Blockberry Creative. Originally a twelve-member group, they were introduced to the public through a pre-debut project that began in Octo...
What does a kpop band have to do with a printer?
Lmao over here
Has anyone put the gif of the printer in negative yet?
no harm in chasing leads, but please be nice okay? 
dont even bother
Wasn't trying to be rude. Sorry If it came off that way.
the bias wrecker is a kpop term
https://www.reachthefinals.com/iseul-t
no worries! when it comes to our easter egg hunt anything could be a hint or a lead 
(don't quote me on this thinking it's a lead
)
That’s what you’d say if it was a lead
I'm not even privy to most of it 
drags Blues away
The gif name is running out of time and it has 101 frames.
Has anyone made the connection to Numerology yet for 00?
I don’t think so
What if we actually are running out of time?
It's a belief system around "angel numbers" and how certain numbers have meaning or power
I think we are...
00 has this attributed to it - Seeing Angel Number 00 in your day-to-day life means it is the ideal time to ask a higher power for guidance. The universe will never lead you astray, so trust that when you ask for help, you will receive guidance.
The only higher power I recognize in this Discord is rob
Are you hinting that we need to ask you for help rob?
Do you believe in numerology?
🙏
was this part of the monaco map?
Yup! It was the parks outside the main city area
ah k
Imagine if it’s that simple…
@proud minnow what’s the answer?
It can’t hurt to try…
@cedar owl Or you Dusty I also recognize you as a higher power lol. I have seen my angel number 00 and I am invoking it to ask for help 🤲
👀
There are no simple answers in the universe of THE FINALS, what is a map... what is life, what is water..? hihi
water is wet
Okay okay. Rob was at the office first this morning, but only because he cheated. BUT since he was here so early, I'm certain he's had time to reach out to our sponsors for you all... @proud minnow??
I NEVER CHEAT... I'm the most honest person I know... ._.
...and yes I did, not much to see, they just sent me an ad to review... do you want to see it..?
I love ads, I never skip them on youtube I swear.
👀
Good on you!

👀
why is it so blurry
THE_FINALS_OSPUZE_AD_some_extra_candy.jpg
Something is going on in that noise on the right hand side.
Letters?
Also I love it rob these promo images are always awesome 
Numbers at the bottom of the bottle right side
I see it too
Big oval on the whole image again
A super ellipse?
are these 0's new?
You guys are going for gta levels of world building.
W/The dedicated brands
Hmmmmm???
Running out of time
The gif name
For whatever reason this is what came up when I replied.
its different
01101111 01110100 01101100 00110000 01100101 01110100 00111101 01110010 01100101
otl0et=re
The printer gif Rob sent is called running out of time. This image has a reference to 00
Running out of time 00?
FIND PSW : XXXX-XX-XX
FIND PASSWORD DATE
its a date - Year Month Day
It's a year
yup
This is the most interesting part to me this is the first time I think a hint has DIRECTLY mentioned a password
yup yup
wheres that?
Super hard to make out but it looks like the third word is a "to"
I know where it is... hihi
theres some artefacts here but I think from brightening without brush smoothing
found it hehe
not sure what this is
Anyone else find it kind of interesting that Ospuze is usually an all yellow/black aesthetic but this time they are the IseulT bright blue? Also if you invert the colors it matches Ospuze usual color palette perfectly. I don't think it's related to the EE Hunt but it is interesting.
meteor shower hitting a country???
fibre optics?
What significant dates do we have? Because right now I think our best lead is the fact that there is a hint directly referencing a year-month-day format.
The ISO date format
The international format defined by ISO (ISO 8601) tries to address all these problems by defining a numerical date system as follows: YYYY-MM-DD where
Didn't we have a link to ISO before?
January 14, 2005 - Huygens spaceprobe landing date on Titan
ISO format also integrates time
For example, September 27, 2022 at 6 p.m. is represented as 2022-09-27 18:00:00.000.
ISO 8601 is as follows: year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.
I feel like they gave us a direct point at the answer we're looking for a date with MAYBE a time but I think it's just a YYYY-MM-DD format.
Wtf that new art is soooooopppp sick
ikr? It's my new wallpaper on my phone
Halley's Comet has been mentioned a few times 🤔
Last seen in 1986-02-09 will be next seen 2061-07-28
Yeah, a few tiers ago. I think it was for Galileo's birthday or something
didnt work
;-;
Running out of time and first thing are repeated heavily between Rob and Dusty and they seem to be trying their hardest to point us in the right direction here.
It must be mildly frustrating for the Embark folks running the EE hunt and seeing us probably brush right up against the answer several times. Like waiting for someone to catch the last person in hide and seek and they keep walking right by them.
The only thing 00 could match in the current date theory would be the year
Anything exciting we find in the year 2000?
or 1000 I guess
My birthday
we have alot of codes, and havent deciphered many of them to any think that makes sense
He mentioned us to ride more on the Vega smth
I wouldn’t say ”any answer”… but you have a long way to walk still on the Vega-path… ._. ❤️
as in after this tier
Oh-
it was supposed to be found after this tier
y2k?
dw lol
I wonder why....😭
"I wonder how, I wonder why..." 🎵
hmmm, so the Binary is -- 'otl0et=re'
I am wondering how we were supposed to know it was a date format
or just XXXX-XX-XX format
I am assuming a date
im happy it confirms the code in the gif was binary too
That clue we never solved? 🤔
😂
yeah which one lol
also could you clarify which code?
1404E210DDFD-4FA5E227933D2-1A3DC
I ran this through an anagram finder and it only came back with letter if we kick out the "o" and a word for a french um.. "lady of the night" lol
The dashes are there... maybe Rob just encrypted it too much 😂
it could be that...
wonder why the length of the strings are so drastically different then
I think it's ciphered
just need to shift it
ooh, I missed that. Good find!!
We have;
trol0te=e otl0et=re
reordering
||lorette ||= 0 ?
Yeah... that's definitely the first thing that came to my mind... 😅
This Easter Egg Hunt has been an elaborate way for rob to ask for french fries!
I can't find many Caesar cipher decoders online which do Ascii...
french 19th century ||escort||
yeah, probably isn't that
tried the other word but it was blocked
Yeah this is what I found originally but idk if this one we can bend back around lol
Yeah... that... I doubt Rob wants us on that path... 😂
trol0te=e
otl0et=re
yup yup #easter-eggs message
maybe we cipher it and then anagram it?
thats what we are discussing
I'll let you guys dig in that rabbit hole I'm gonna scour the padlet for important dates
we are guessing its 'something' = 0
I know 😭
I will try and code something
Wait
waiting
Me too
Lol
U see how when u put them one on top of another
The 0s don't align perfectly
So shifting the bottom one to the right would make
0
0
Just like the namatama clue
which
trol0te=e
eotl0et=r
Maybe that says something
Since now they're the exact same pattern
by the way, can we have that awesome image pinned please? or posted in #official-art ? It's too cool to be left buried in chat haha
^
also for the sake of finding it again
probably not officially OSPUZE related
I think it's probs just for marketing that sponsor
but I still wanna see them post it as an actual promo image for the game
it looks cool
ik Rob and the others might have just did it in spare time
but so are plenty of the other #official-art images, and they look awesome too
wait what if the 00 goes in the front for YYYY-MM-DD? What if it's a early AD date?
0048?
The Virgin Mary's death maybe! 0048 A.D. VM again
we had Virgin Mary as a clue ages ago
Was it ever applied to an answer?
dont think so no
YOU HAVE ALL THE CLUES... IT IS TIME TO SOLVE THIS NOW.!
00480815 0048-08-15 didn't work
Hmm hotly debated topic on when she actually died though
This was Rob's response to RHB finding the VM connection. Based on this, I doubt the answer is so closely related to Virgin Mary
rot leet = 0 ? rot cypher with leet as the key ? if that even makes sense
Hmmm IF and this is a BIG IF 00 is integrated in the answer it HAS to be in the year if it's a date (which is a whole other IF in the first place)
My 1337 speak is a little rusty
could always be X00X for a year
True I didn't even think about putting in the middle
We have;
trol0te=e otl0et=re
=
rot leet = 0?
yeah but I mean
just thinking about how the = 0 would fit in
o ═ ∅
O = 0 = o = 0
okay code is working, will try all possible shifts
okay is not a caesar cipher
at least not with the = and 0 in the mix
there is no single shift number that will get them to all be letters
troltee
OH
troltee = letter o
letter o = 0
!!
I have no idea where we're going fish but take me there
IDK
if it is that..
then what do we do with 'letter o = 0'
gonna take a break, brain out of juice
Same I need food
I'm torched
I got an hour before my next meeting gonna refuel and chomp on a sammich while I read the padlet and recaps
I gotta say I think for this tier we sprinted within a couple meters of the finish line, and now it feels like we're tip toeing over it lol.
also letter o = 0 is like the same thing we've been seeing for months now...
I saw 'letter' on the scrabble list
we are totally missing something about it
this looks like it
that's where i got it haha
lorette
might not be what we want...
dont go there yeah
Unless Rob is teasing a future map in some area of Amsterdam where lights are predominantly of a certain color... /s
some kinda district ?
I searched o = 0 and got

I agree, but not for that reason
it's cause the ASCII he linked us was not zeros
but two circles
and also
the vesica piscis
two circles
So what if Rob gave us a cipher to a previous message? Letter o = 0
Is there any message he had numbers and letters mixed in that hasn't made sense yet?
ye
Atomic orbits?
"1404E210DDFD-4FA5E227933D2-1A3DC" 😭
yep
hahaha and of course this has absolutely no "o" in it
unrelated but you and the team make super nice pieces
Why does SpongeBob look like that..what have they done to him.
Exactly my 1st thought when I saw it
I am eating my lunch staring at this padlet and recap and it is like having all the answers to a test but no clue which answer goes to which question.
that's a pretty cool image
more like having all the working
and no answer
Hahaha yeah I think you have the more apt comparison like someone showing me a full thermodynamics equation then handing me the pencil to put the final answer in lol.
Really want to find the significance of this 1404E210DDFD-4FA5E227933D2-1A3DC
Such a long string it HAS to be a big clue
Ran it through my Ospuze decoder ring and all it says is "Be sure to drink your Ospuze."
Perhaps the date of a specific occultation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occultation this grazing occultation of Rhea by Dione is very vesica piscis like as well
An occultation is an event that occurs when one object is hidden from the observer by another object that passes between them. The term is often used in astronomy, but can also refer to any situation in which an object in the foreground blocks from view (occults) an object in the background. In this general sense, occultation applies to the visu...
I tried passwords around this early on but didn’t have any luck (obv). Maybe definitely worth another look now Rob has 👀’d it
As part of something related to Brown Eyed Girl
We've got rob 👀 everyone
you're on a roll fish that's two 👀
Occultations were used to discover the rings of both Uranus and Haumea
I love what the EE search does to my internet history one moment I am googling Numerology and Angel Numbers. The next I have a medical analysis of the Ocular Orbit open.
In ancient Greek religion and Greek mythology, Dione (; Greek: Διώνη, translit. Diṓnē) is an oracular goddess, a Titaness primarily known from Book V of Homer's Iliad, where she tends to the wounds suffered by her daughter Aphrodite. Dione is presented as either an Oceanid, daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, or the thirteenth Titan, daughter of Gai...
Date and Time seem very important and we've got a heavy implication from our EE Higher Power that letter o = 0 and the ocular orbit are important to our answer.
there are 13 sponsors, coincidence maybe
During an occultation a planet would appear missing from the sky as well
Well I got a meeting for the next hour fellers. I wish you luck we're right there I feel it.
I’ll try to find the date of the Cassini-Huygens Dione/Rhea occultation image
aha nice!
July 27. 2010
Didn’t work
what I'm going to assume is that the Camera Obscura path could hold merit
😞
if the Eye is Eyed
hmm
I wonder why Rob thought that was worth Eyeing
at the most extreme, all of the orbit clues are pointing towards the Orbit (eye)
but I don't think that's it
Yeah
I only mentioned occultation again as it is closely related to seeing/not seeing
I only doubt camera obscura since it wasn't eyed by Rob
however that's a pretty flimsy reason
Hey…..
Optography is the process of viewing or retrieving an optogram, an image on the retina of the eye. A belief that the eye "recorded" the last image seen before death was widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and was a frequent plot device in fiction of the time, to the extent that police photographed the victims' eyes in several r...
Weird white rabbit mention here
You'll never guess where that Wilhelm Kühne was stationed
Heidelberg University
I just seem to remember something about this connecting to camera obscura or Descartes a while back
I mean
“Albino rabbit”
That’s pretty much as white as they come
I'm trying to connect White Stork to anything here.
it's just what asteroid 8601 is named after ('Ciconia' aka White Stork)
Heidelberg is a scientific hub in Germany and home to several internationally renowned research facilities adjacent to its university
and the Swedish Academy of Sciences is also pretty renouned
but.. there are no coincidences
actually he wanted us to look into it
it was the pages of all the members which he said was too deep
Haven’t this symbol shown up somewhere? Feel like I’ve seen it before…
I don't think so..
also I want to bring up this
Orbits, ovals, rings, are all abstractly the same thing
and also now the orbit of the eye (which literally means a circular shape)
and Dusty has mentioned Shape a few more times than normal
so the binary was a clue we've had about a dozen times
unfortunately.. haha
In geometry, the major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter: a line segment that runs through the center and both foci, with ends at the two most widely separated points of the perimeter. The semi-major axis (major semiaxis) is the longest semidiameter or one half of the major axis, and thus runs from the centre, through a focus, and to th...
I'm sure if 100 people (given context) saw ;letter O = 0; at least one of them would happen to interpret it in the right way by chance
shame we don't have 100 😭

Resk, you gotta explain how you thought of that
im sorry what!
@proud minnow @cedar owl
LEGEND
2 o's in oviform
the missing Os are Øs
@latent peak is that one
and Øs are 0s
Resk is THE one
also god I am stupid for not realising Neo is an anagram for (The) One
hahaha
NO WAY
404 ??? meaning please!
AMAZING.!
I’m so proud of you all, you are the best..!
Imagine being rob watching us say the password over and over since we thought it was a clue
404 = nothing = 0
O = 0
O = Ø
You are all so ammmmaaaazzziiing! ❤️
well done guys!!!!! 
replace the Os with Nothings/0s?
Nice one @latent peak !!!!!!
How many days?
SO happy
GG
96 DAYS
Also I'm sorry but it always comes out of the blue, these answer announcements 😭
Nice one @latent peak 
wym by this
Amazing job yolks 

132 clues? jesus
so clear now
Now I need to spend a week comprehending what this answer even means
1e right?
Wow, ofc
I mean Embark ppl know that we solved it
I saw your o = 0 and thought that must be part of the password. Then i tried 0val, 0v0id and 0vif0rm. Hehe
1d
so verification is just a loading screen
“The missing ‘o’-s are 0”
gonna take a grain of sand's worth of credit hehe
you are amazing for having the initiative to try all these answers
Cool
i get this
No worries, I trust you, hehe
I feel like you have the next tier up and ready already 🕵️
all the burrw clues really confused us not gunna lie
We first mentioned oviform on January 1st. Dang.
no wayyyyyyyyyyy
No, we will wait for a little while... it will be worth it trust me... ._.
0vif0rm, i linked an oval just before we got it
I can afford to wait...
I've been sleeping the past couple of days but the timeline has been updated.
Hmm
we probably need a lot of time to redocument and recoup these clues..
Just speculating
it will help the future onboarding a lot
But “running out of time”
Perhaps the next tier is time dependent? Like a reoccurring event that we just missed
next year..
It is so many clues that you have not found yet... one day I will try to show you them all... ._.
Tell me about it. I think I'll just create a 5 second video that says "G'day Rockhound here, the password it 0vif0rm, Thanks for watching."
can't wait
anyways time to wait
Clean padlet here - https://padlet.com/Flex4d/tier-1d-clues-and-connections-a2ussq9twicy0jth
interesting scroll
Is the other VM clue somehow tied to Mary Bateman? @proud minnow
also I appreciate this D1 on the 1D padlet background haha, just noticed it, funny
huh
yes we did, I mean the tracks
gawd damn it
Rob are you, like, actually alright
Do we need to send someone to do a welfare check
Rob is immune to the Kyne refinalist centre, don't even.
I think we might have missed a few clues... 😅
we mentioned david bowie
wonder how fiducial markers connect. maybe I forgot
This is not a refinalist routine. This is concern for ones mental capacity mapping this out.
I love seeing this behind the scenes look
we got those!
not.. that though
omg
Eggxtraordinary
literally in our face the whole time. damn
Sorry i was on the bus but hell yeah! We all got here together ❤️ Im so happy its over
Resk what a legend
EVEN THE NAMATAMA had oval iris during this tier... ._.
it did last tier though?
That's the previous tier
exactly
oh right
It was the tier before this one
Yeah ever NAMA this tier has oval eyes
AGAIN... It's amazing to do this with you all... You are the best community a game developer could ever dream of...!
rob what does ''1404E210DDFD 4FA5E227933D2 1A3DC'' mean
1404E210DDFD 4FA5E227933D2 1A3DC please
please!
Even the christmas & new year namas have it
Please
🙏🏼
the screen shot i posted was last tier, it had ovals then. bit confused on that
Embark | Rob has left the chat
1404E210DDFD 4FA5E227933D2 1A3DC - One day you might figure this out, but today is not the day... ._.
NOOOOOOOOOO
I think he meant that he only had oval eyes. Last few tiers it's been ovals or a oval and a wink, but for T1D it was nothing but a blank haunting stare.
Well
it's for this tier though.. right?
Diamond clue then perhaps?
So what about van morisson ? Was it Sputnik ?
i see... double ovals
yeah,
first satellite
= orbit
we actually asked about this cover up.... was told it was a "rendering error"
For the next tier do you want me to just make a blank padlet like the one you have for T1D? I feel like that's generally a better way of organizing than what we've gotten rn
I like this one
easier to navigate at least
hmm not sure. its good to dump connections together
yeah ok
I don't think you have to if you don't want to
the work you've done already is amazing

I have unlimited Padlets
well next padlet will be TINY anyway
because we will solve it so fast
Oh did Rob give us the answer?
LMAO
2 months ago
basically
but I'd say we all did a great job with these clues, regardless of time
Ahhhhh ok
Yeah, this was a hard one. I don't think I would have got that password in 404 years
We theorised, then Resk got it, and we just had some 'light' nudging from Rob throughout this final stretch
00 is the double 0s
and 404 is the 'empty set' / 'not found'
Not related to oviform tho
Congrats to the EE though for spending a lot of time on this tier
I knew you guys would solve while I was in my meeting I had the feeling!
But related to the 0s going into it
was this image THE_FINALS_Wallpaper_Beside_You_2880x1620.png ?
Yeah fosho
Why did the last clues say
FIND PSW : XXXX-XX-XX
Oh yeah
I feel like it was trying to point out that we FOUND the password at a specific date
We had Oviform forever
I assume it refers to something which refers to the password
that we haven't quite found yet
impossible for me to see that tbh
Yeah maybe the compression
well hidden
We spent over 25% of a year on this tier...

dayummmmmmmmmmmmm
mortality just hit me like a minicab
Beta date
this one we should have seen
there are 5 more tiers to go...
on this level
Sooo
bruh
but to connect that to MOM and then Mars Orbital Mission
1.25 years to go
I don't think that was that easy
Well, it was January 1st, so in a way time of year = 0
Eureka/Mars Stadium makes more sense now
Chuck Leith is laughing in his grave (RIP)
I think it's always been helping
Did we figure out how trol0=re fit into this?
even for the spectrum
Oh yeah
and now that the fiducial markers are confirmed
letter o = 0
Is the anagram
OHHH
I don't understand how they fit in?
The pin with all of the community info has also been updated
absolutely illegible 😭
Secchi
O7 yessir
yeah, true
So 1e doesn't start today right?
What's your name on padlet. It's set to public so everyone can see it but only people that I add can edit it
Fiducial markers represent the corners of the image, and define the (0,0) coordinate for printing
00
SwaFly
How does padlet work? Do I need to create a user to edit? I assume yes.
Yes
google account
should work
I can’t wait to be part of a tier from the start instead of joining after the answer has been technically figured out❤️ looking forward to the whole experience
this one was easy
@proud minnow does this count as a link between the answer and the Virgin Mary? https://www.artfoxlive.com/product/1720267.html
haha that could be it
Feel like I mostly inadvertently held everyone back with my ramblings. Sorry about that, gang❤️🥲
I wanted to mention that maybe the Year 0 (denominating Jesus' birth by VM) was how it related to the 0 answer
in hindsight a lot of the stuff you were talking about was probably right...
Rob thinks of everything
But that's kinda how EE hunting works - WE ALL RAMBLE and in the midst of the chaos someone sees clarity
we need a few ramblers, or the answerers will have nothing to answer with
Yeah, you gotta feed the machine
There is no holding each other back even if we step over the answer sometimes in the end we're all following the same crazy loopty loops to get to the answer.
although the Titan and Saturn aspect I'm still hung up on
That was what I was going for, but I joined after the oviform clue and kind of didn’t catch the significance or the context of it at the time since I joined late
So 5 M310N63N4 = was leet speak, so use 0 not o ?
Hey
I think the Eggplant itself was more the clue
I just realized
Well, for the next one you'll have no excuses 
Even though the next tier isn’t up there are probably urls we’ve missed
what does 110D631 mean then?
So no rest for the wicked
Oh yeah, Rob says there are some added wayy back
like loads
When I tried 64631 (110=6, D=4) I got some interesting things
We might even find urls related to later tiers, right?
Still need to figure out the diamond star stuff
Up north to see star = Polaris
represents north pole
0,0 polar coordinates
