Haha, yes, swagged up Saturn

Ha sorry yeah no idea what my brain is connecting

#

Was vega from the train north comment

#

Woah

sick stone
#

Can’t find the mention I saw a month or two ago, but it was mostly about how the white rabbit/hare symbolizes Mary’s virginity and innocence and is sometimes conflated with her directly in symbolism. This page mentions something akin to that, but not exactly that

#

It can connect through lots of places though. Possibly just the WR points to The Matrix points to pills points to pill shaped etc etc. also the obvious easter connection (search: Virgin Mary Red Eggs).

Yeah, I say ā€œboom, WIZARDEDā€ now. It is a duty that has befallen me as the in-house thaumaturgist.

Ohh

Hihi

#

Robhug_friend

#

I’m on my phone so didn’t see it right away

#

Waitaminute… maybe it is a star related URL? Think about it; how many ways can we actually connect it to oviform? 2 already seems like a stretch. If it pointed to a URL the story would be different though…

#

Or perhaps there is a time related VM we haven’t found yet? Second doesn’t necessarily mean ā€œ2ndā€ā€¦

what's VM

That's the question

slender lodge

virgin mary?

sharp flame

it was a clue

ahhhh

just VM

wait was this in reference to the previous tier?

or just the hunt as a whole

sick stone
# slender lodge what's VM

Van Morrison was one confirmed meaning. Virgin Mary seems to have been another, but didn’t lead anywhere, which is one of the reasons I mentioned Rob’s comment might pointing in a time direction. I have no clue though, but whoever finds the connection will get sent a ā€œunique the Finals giftā€ by Rob

#

Let’s get it before the next tier kicks off! šŸ‘½

slender lodge
#

ooh, that's thrilling haha

#

unique gift

sick stone
#

Yeah

slender lodge
#

RHB found the second meaning of VM, so that's referring to Van Morrison

sick stone

slender lodge
#

VM and 0vif0rm thinkDerp

sick stone
#

As the second meaning

#

There are some obvious connections, but Rob hasn’t responded to those, so Red Egg/Easter does not seem to be the connection

#

Nor seemingly does White Rabbits/Hares

vm.57 - Virgin Mary 57 ad

#

So funny seeing these types of comments after it’s solved

sick stone
#

Rob did all caps the SECOND part in that message there. Why I’m reading into that a bit more and thinking it’s not meant as ā€œ2ndā€ but rather second as in time. I’m just speculating of course. Trying to spur some grays of yours to start kicking up solutions to this.

One other thing that VM could mean is virtual memory

just re-joined the hunt for a bit of fun tonight, had a go at trying to find some connections between VM and oviform:

  • Jehovah's Witnesses say that:
    ā€œSince actual conception took place, it appears that Jehovah God caused an ovum or egg in Mary’s womb to become fertile, accomplishing this by the transfer of the life of his first born son (Michael) from the spirit realm to the earthā€
  • Ovums are produced by Ovaries, which there are two of, and are also egg shaped.

It loops three times, so I guess one could create a video with the difference of all 3, right? Maybe the combination of the different overlapping frames reveal different things šŸ¤”

It has to be those.. right?

theres also that red smoke one on march 3

when did our vacation start think

I guess it did on February 22, when Resk found the solution for the previous tier

these were also posted after 22nd feb

if the 'dont trust them' is to be believed

'There is nothing in this image, you are on vacation!' does seem a bit on the nose

so if there was anything in these backgrounds and jpegs

he would post them here too

even if we don't find anything...

can we record somewhere that there is a diamond and primary clue in the 3-4 #official-art images posted during beta holiday period?

I remember watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas towards the end of the last tier and noticing 3 scenes that appeared in succession actually had direct links to clues we were discussing (pills, the matrix, white rabbit and a zorro ā€œZā€).

Well, if you go back and read up on the last 3-4 months of the discord and figure out how Virgin Mary connects, Rob has promised loot to whomever sorts it out. It is possible someone figured it out already, but as far as I can tell we do not have confirmation. So due to lack of confirmation I’d say the connection is not to ā€œred eggsā€ or ā€œwhite haresā€. So that’s one thing that happens if you figure out one connection to the previous tier. Other than that we do not know what happens when we solve all the tiers.

ā€œstella marisā€ was used as a name for the North Star, Polaris in the medieval period. The name ā€œStella marisā€ was originally a title for Virgin Mary. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady,_Star_of_the_Sea #easter-eggs message

Our Lady, Star of the Sea is an ancient title for the Virgin Mary. The words Star of the Sea are a translation of the Latin title Stella Maris.

The title has been in use since at least the early medieval period. Purportedly arising from a scribal error in a supposed etymology of the name Mary, it came to be seen as allegorical of Mary's role as...

# sick stone https://rosshyslop.wordpress.com/tag/virgin-mary/

The divine female passage that gives birth to life itself is flooded with light, a halo. This light represents the divine female wisdom, and gives the vulva a sense of sacredness and purity. It is also a fountain of youth in a sense, as this is were ā€œwaterā€ is deposited (sperm) and comes forth a baby through the fountain, before the child passages through the ā€œfishā€ the waters must break. Also urine passes out of the vulva, hence why it is a fountain and also a ā€˜fish bladder’. The ā€˜fons vitae’ is the fountain of life, or the fountain of youth. often linked to ā€˜aqua vitiae’, the water of life.

time in Sweden is 02:47 am

We just had Daylight savings and its confusing me

Shouldn't the time be the same for everyone?

its also odd that its set to 13:37.. why 37 mins specifically?

Leet (or "1337"), also known as eleet or leetspeak, is a system of modified spellings used primarily on the Internet. It often uses character replacements in ways that play on the similarity of their glyphs via reflection or other resemblance. Additionally, it modifies certain words based on a system of suffixes and alternate meanings. There ar...

Interesting link between the golden angle (137), 5f137s2 and 13:37 which can also be read as 1:37pm

wonder if intentional..

tho ig to be accurate enough it would have to be 1 oclock 37m 30s

wait so do some people have their countdown ending in a couple hours an others still have to wait till tmw?

I think there's a bug in the code making it adjust for timezones instead of just the time until.

I imagine if anything is gonna happen it's gonna be in the evening Swedish time.

tbh, JavaScript shouldn't have such an ambiguous way of specifying a timezone date, you should only be allowed to use ISO, and problem solved šŸ˜‚

Oh boy... I just looked it up, and it gets worse... those two dates are not equal (in most timezones šŸ˜›)

const date1 = new Date('2023-03-27T01:23:45');
const date2 = new Date('2023-03-27T01:23:45Z');

the Z is for Zulu time (UTC+0)...so that changes things too... so easy to get bugs with these minor things šŸ˜‚

Anyway if I know Rob..

this is a clue

I have quite literally zero doubts on this

sharp flame
#

Well I was thinking that was more a double rainbow

#

It looks very much like a double rainbow

slender lodge
#

yeah definitely, with the second one fading a little

mortal ivy
#

For anyone curious, this is the changes between the images

sharp flame
mortal ivy
#

Double rainbow all the way across the sky, oh ah, omg so intense!

sharp flame
#

If it is, though, the colours are kinda not in the direction they should be

mortal ivy
#

That is definitely a double rainbow. But indulge the color blind, the faded outer one is inverted right?

sharp flame
#

In this one they are the same direction, no inverted

#

but either way that's no reason to really dispel it

#

though maybe the clue could mean something other than double rainbow

mortal ivy
#

Just so all are aware:

*What is a double rainbow?
A double rainbow is a wonderful sight where you get two spectacular natural displays for the price of one.

Surprisingly, this phenomenon is actually relatively common, especially at times when the sun is low in the sky such as in the early morning or late afternoon. The second rainbow is fainter and more 'pastel' in tone than the primary rainbow because more light escapes from two reflections compared to one.

The secondary rainbow is also dispersed over a wider area of the sky. It is nearly twice as wide as the primary bow.

A key feature of double rainbows is that the colour sequence in the second rainbow is reversed, so instead of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet (ROYGBIV), the colours appear in VIBGYOR order.*

sharp flame
mortal ivy
#

Now I gotta get back to work šŸ˜…

#

Oh what!

#

There's also a Grand Rainbow
Grand Rainbow
Supernumerary rainbows are thin, pastel-colored rainbows that sometimes appear beneath the inner arch of a primary rainbow. Some faint supernumeraries are visible in this rainbow over the Grand Canyon, Arizona, United States. Supernumeraries are the result of the complex interaction of light rays in an air mass with small, similarly sized water droplets.""

I wonder if there's a way to see them more clearly, as one or two of them are super hard to identify

You can tell the difference between Fs and Es

Fs have a shorter middle line

no?

I can see it when zooming in

#

Also, most of the 0s are probably 9s, just by how early the loop closes

timid solstice
sharp flame
#

but it helps to know that there are only two ways it could be, shorter ones are Fs or longer ones are Fs

#

narrows it down to two permutations

slender lodge
#

yeah but it looks hard to identify some of them

sharp flame
slender lodge
#

like you mentioned the first few they're clear enough

latent peak
sharp flame
#

I was just thinking about ways we could narrow it down

slender lodge
#

For sure!

sharp flame
#

so many unknown letters will not help

#

and even if we get a single digit wrong, the word should still be clear

slender lodge
#

The 8's vs 9's vs 0's is a bit easier to identify as the 0's should have the sides going straight, the eights seem to have a smaller top O than the bottom O, and the 9 is more or less instinct lol

sharp flame
#

SP5CT7OS9OPY

#

missing about 4 letters for example

#

still clear what the word is

slender lodge
#

tru tru

#

i though this was gonna be more liek a hex code rather than a word tho

since there have only been numbers and A-F

now obv this isn't leetcode or a direct character-to-letter translation

reflection on the zipline is sus

latent peak
timid solstice
#

there are 3 characters

so I dont think its binary

latent peak

ooh

slender lodge
timid solstice
#

and I dont think the lower line is flipped or is upside down

slender lodge
#

Just for the sake of recording this in the chat, they're mostly exactly 42px apart

#

I counted each pixel (I didn't)

timid solstice
#

we need to know what Cross, Plus and Upside down cross means

slender lodge
#

Do you think it's just a plus because of compression reasons? Since they're like <20px each

#

Or if it's intentional

timid solstice
#

its 3 symbols/characters

mortal ivy
#

nice!

#

Are all crosses together in pairs, and all pluses alone?

slender lodge
#

these are the only plusses i think

#

column 3, 8, 9, and 15

mortal ivy
#

In your previous picture i see the crosses without zooming šŸ¤”

timid solstice

this one could be extruded more as pixels over below the rest so could be 4 symbols

one of them is upside down

are you using the image that was sent in this chat earlier? that one was more compressed than the original

slightly different view

wait why does it say.. hmm

yeah

but its the same view give or take

sharp flame

it's basically Invermoriston

unkempt crypt

this is the exact view

#

on where the pointer landed

sharp flame
#

Invermoriston (Inbhir Mhoireastain in Gaelic) (grid reference NH420167) is a small village 11 kilometres (7 miles) north of Fort Augustus, Highland, Scotland. The village is on the A82 road, at a junction with the A887.The village's most visited attraction is the Thomas Telford bridge, built in 1813, which crosses the spectacular River Moriston ...

slender lodge

why does the view look like an EE image šŸ—æ

sharp flame
#

Such was his reputation as a prolific designer of highways and related bridges, he was dubbed the Colossus of Roads (a pun on the Colossus of Rhodes)

unkempt crypt
#

Its so odd.. so the exact spot of the marker was a part of a forest but has been cut down

#

.>

sharp flame
unkempt crypt
#

ok anyway probably not important that there are two different version

slender lodge
#

where are you guys putting in these coordinates

sharp flame
#

I think it's just coordinates to the place...

#

like he did for Mendeleev and others

#

coordinates of the town where they were born

unkempt crypt
#

isn't it weird that there are two massive differences between the coords of that spot

#

one is a full forrest and if you step a meter away its a field.

#

I might be distracted by that fact but I've rarely seen anything other than seasonal changes

#

if you take one step forward see what happens

slender lodge
#

wtf

#

how bahahahah

unkempt crypt
#

that pretty much the exact spot of the coords

sharp flame
#

okay there are two things I think this is pointing at

#

1: Loch Ness.. possible

slender lodge
#

is it the same terrain tho?

unkempt crypt
#

yes

sharp flame
#

he coulda put it in the Lake if he wanted to though

unkempt crypt
#

see the logs on the background?

sharp flame

or Invermoriston

which I think is more likely

unkempt crypt
timid solstice

this is Invermoriston's Coords

slender lodge

@unkempt crypt only this part is different to the other parts

timid solstice

no haha just people are hype in here

sharp flame

just wondering what y'all actually mean 😭

unkempt crypt
#

the fact that on that exact road there are two completely different landscapes

#

thats not something that happens often

#

kinda sus

slender lodge
sharp flame
slender lodge
#

its a difference of 10 years damn

sharp flame
#

then the paths down the branching roads are at different times and might have discrepancies to the main recording

unkempt crypt
#

I understand but why those coords and not closer to the town

sharp flame
#

idk cause the person inputting the coords for the second time wasn't in cahoots with the first guy

#

so it doesn't line up

#

or maybe this is exactly what Rob wants us to see

#

but I really do doubt Rob has either found this discrepancy himself (or has anything to do with it)

unkempt crypt
#

I'm just checking if there is something special about it

latent peak
# sharp flame NOXEN

I think this might be a strong lead from him.

He was asked by the Swedish king to build Gƶta Canal, the biggest canal in Sweden, kinda a big deal over there. It also starts in Gothenburg

if u go up the road more, the landscape changes back to 2011/2008
