easter-eggs

[balmy fog]

Made so much sense on paper......... :<(

first line give kamotiq

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qamutiik

something related to the snow

[unkempt crypt]

yes

[fallen jasper]

You should have access now. I had to set it so only a few people could add since all the padlets are completely public facing, everyone can see it without a link.

[pure loom]

thanks!

[sick stone]

Enigma key? Don’t know how it would fit, but for some reason it got me thinking of the enigma plugboard all of a sudden..

[north crag]

how is everyone doing

[sick stone]

I’m not

[north crag]

fair

[sharp flame]

Great

[north crag]

thats good

[sharp flame]

nah it's great

👍👍

Can't wait to see what Rob has been cooking

[north crag]

Man I want to help but there's so much shit it's so confusing 😭

[hidden nacelle]

#easter-eggs message heres a link to help get started

[sweet narwhal]

Could someone give me a link to the T1-E padlet?

[neon stream]

https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t1e-ohsl9b4w3ncqnvqe

[neon stream]

That's the official one

#easter-eggs message

[neon stream]

That's the less official one 😂

[sweet narwhal]

Thanks!

[sweet narwhal]

I’m seeing the snowflake clues, if you guys need some up and close research it is actively snowing where I live despite it being spring 😂

[pearl lark]

Bro what is this channel 💀 U.S. Department of Intelligence💀

hell nah

[hidden nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/f-bi-raid-swat-gif-11500735

[sharp flame]

I wish..

[sharp flame]

check if any of the snowflakes match the ones in the photos 👀

[crude topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/horatio-caine-yeah-csi-miami-sunglasses-meme-gif-4566497

[sweet narwhal]

Someone should look into Robert Frost, it connects to snowflakes. And rob himself

[balmy fog]

Any news today

Personally I think the snowflake is just there to give us the hint that all of the clues will be related somehow to snow/ice/nordic

Torslanda is up north
Titanic hit an iceberg
White star line (white star could be referred to the North Pole star wich is brighter than other stars)
Telford designed bridges to cross water
Titanic is a boat = water
Captains name = water + ice
Snowflakes = north
The crown kinda gives me north vibes

So many clues related to the north and cold places/situations. It might just be me but… I wouldn’t understand why the other clues aren’t related to that

As for the earrings it is the same as traditional Norway earrings

Also looks like bridal earrings

Maybe look into the wife of Telford?

Or the wife of Arthur

[sick stone]

Which captain is water + ice?

Also, for every “north” clue there are a lot more “twin/doubles” clues

[sharp flame]

Torslanda being in the north of Earth is I think not the kind of thing which would be a clue

[sick stone]

Snowflakes are not just northern, they are also southern. Same goes for icebergs.

[sharp flame]

I mean... I think polar as a clue is decent here?

[sick stone]

Close to nothing north-specific in the clues so far

[sharp flame]

snowflake, iceberg, (polestar?)

[sick stone]

Yeah

[sharp flame]

We do need a bit more than some ice though haha

like even the sinking of the Titanic was pretty far from the poles

[sick stone]

Probable, but the only north-pointing clue (interpretation) is white star line

But that seems to be pointing to the Titanic

[sharp flame]

As in the star part?

[sick stone]

Not the North Star

[sick stone]

Yeah

[sharp flame]

white 'star'?

Kk

[sick stone]

But it seems so weak that there are probably a dozen threads to check before we go there

[sick stone]

The “egg”-shapes here are not eggs, they are concave metal plates.

Not the same as on the “friend”

I do find it interesting that the ship that came to save the crew of the RMS Carpathia (Snowdrop) shares a name with a tribe of flowers (Galentheae) which has a total of 3 genera, 2 of which are called “snowflakes”

It connects Titanic>Arthur Rostron/RMS Carpathia>Snowdrop>Snowflakes/doubles/twins(as the two are closely related)

Ammonoids might just be pointing to Arthur Rostron as “Natilus” in greek just means sailor

So far this angle seems like a dead end though…

[crude topaz]

im also looking at ships

regarding the Carpathia, as an example. You see these blue dots on the side? dont know what they are or called

comparing ships with pattern that could lead to the same pattern as the crosses, but its far fetched

[sick stone]

Also, the number 6 seems important. 6 points on a snowflake, 6 crosses x3, random 6 on the “Arthur”-crystal…

2/3 Olympia class ships sunk, 2/3 Galantheae are snowflakes, 2/3 namatama earrings appeared in the first image… 2/3=0.6666666…

https://tenor.com/view/looney-tunes-bugs-bunny-crazy-gif-18958406

[crude topaz]

propellers usually 6 winged/blades?

[sick stone]

TSS (ships) stand for “twin-screw steamer”. Often however, they just use SS as in “steamship” even though they are TSS

I believe RMS Carpathia was a TSS

[crude topaz]

the screw impeller was invented by John Ericsson (swede) btw, he worked on göta canal to

[sick stone]

Also, HMS Snowdrop had a complement of 79

[crude topaz]

but i think he was a dead end

[sick stone]

Gives a little more strength to the double snowflake flowers

Will try to dive further into it tomorrow

[sharp flame]

🤯

[sharp flame]

by the way, just realised with the Titanic

Titanic -🔗- 79 A.D.

(79AD is a disaster film)

[sick stone]

Hmmm

Maybe the keyword is relative?

Or related or something

[sharp flame]

the pair stuff is very apparent at least

if anything it also seems central

[sick stone]

Yeah

[sharp flame]

like I think the answer is gonna be centred on it

as much as oviform had the oval shapes, etc

[sick stone]

But the rainbows are misaligned with respect to their relative position

Ohh

Wait

[sharp flame]

what do you mean?

[sick stone]

#easter-eggs message

The ammonoids… what if it’s two halves

[sharp flame]

very well could be

usually for a cross section it's just split in half

so you get two pieces

but...

[sick stone]

What if the rainbow bits are just two halves as well

[sharp flame]

one of them should be facing the other way

[sick stone]

Good point…

[sharp flame]

(same with the double rainbow ?!)

[sick stone]

🥲

[sharp flame]

I'm really confused then what the double rainbow could mean

if not an actual double rainbow

[north crag]

how is everyone

[sharp flame]

goood

[north crag]

thats good

[sharp flame]

ay

I found some stuff

weird path but it kinda connects?

looked up asteroid no. 131428

I mean first of all there is a lotta pairing going on there

and

it's in the Hygiea family (HYG)

(a.k.a. Hygiea X)

whose symbol is a Caduceus

went a bit deep there, but idk haha

[sick stone]

I think I've seen "Trismegistus" mentioned somewhere already this tier, but I can't remember where

[sharp flame]

yep

it was the binary screen puzzle

but in the beta

so unusable for now

also means even if my thingy connects later, it can't help us

[sick stone]

I mean I think I've seen it somewhere else

[sharp flame]

oh, apart from the screen?

[sick stone]

yeah, but again, I can't remember where...

[sharp flame]

searched it up.. nobody has mentioned it yet

[sick stone]

I'm probably just remembering it incorrectly

[sharp flame]

could be something related

[glad lodge]

Guys, if you feel a lack of inspiration, just have a read into the infamous $1M Pepsi logo 2008/9 rework, it gets deep
https://www.goldennumber.net/wp-content/uploads/pepsi-arnell-021109.pdf

[sharp flame]

already read the whole thing

iirc there's a pepsi universe in there

[glad lodge]

you mean you read it now, or years ago?

[sharp flame]

years ago

💀 😭

[glad lodge]

its so inspirational tho! like you just make up a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, present it in a formal way and make it make sense, and charge whatevs you want (ok ok, i know that's not how it works)

Page 19 is when it starts getting good

[balmy fog]

Are we sure its ammonoids?

[sharp flame]

the spiral shape is clear to me personally

and I see the outline compared to ammonite

[balmy fog]

No I mean, im 95% sure its ammonoids

But could there be an other choice? Because we've been stuck with ammonoids, finding no answer related to it...

[sharp flame]

honestly I would be sadder if it was something that we already have as a clue

I personally want more unrelated clues

[balmy fog]

OH for sure

[sharp flame]

so that it's clearer what they connect to

like if we keep getting snowflakes and rainbows I'm gonna cry

[balmy fog]

I mean, they clearly are the same on both marks

So it's doubled, not a second one

[sharp flame]

for sure

[balmy fog]

Same as the snowflakes, its the same one

[tulip matrix]

Don't cry. He'll make the next one a Snowbow

[balmy fog]

Rainbow also looks like the same one

[tulip matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/bart-simpson-hypnotize-hypnotized-gif-24774743

[sharp flame]

to compare

[balmy fog]

Yeah

It really does look like it

[sharp flame]

lets try and connect them at least

[balmy fog]

Connect them to the snowflakes?

[sharp flame]

well, to anything

[balmy fog]

Ok

Here's my thing

We see a lot of patterns

A snowflake itself is a pattern

Ammonoids are pattern shaped

[sharp flame]

pattern recognition

[balmy fog]

a rainbow is a pattern, even tough its just lines of colors, still is a pattern

[sharp flame]

is a clue now 😭

but yeah I see that

[balmy fog]

what else

the fucking crosses

is a pattern

[sharp flame]

okay okay

what could ammonite connect to

[balmy fog]

globally?

Ocean

[sharp flame]

this seems pretty strong

has 79 and stuff

Horns of Amun

[balmy fog]

Doesn't ammonite forms on boat?

[sharp flame]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amun

[balmy fog]

Im talking boat that went down deep in water

[sharp flame]

Titanic?

[balmy fog]

Maybe thats the link?

[sharp flame]

or just shipwrecks

[balmy fog]

Or just shipwrecks

[sharp flame]

oh you mean like barnacles

[balmy fog]

We could look at white star line shipwreck

Idk is it barnacles?

[sharp flame]

nah apparently ammonoidea don't live at ocean floor

more in the open ocean

[balmy fog]

Ammonites mostly died out 66 million years ago, but other cephalopods, such as nautiluses, survived © Manuae via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 3.0)

omg

I got the link!!!!

[sharp flame]

we need more source citing fr

[balmy fog]

https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/what-is-an-ammonite.html#:~:text=The subclass Ammonoidea%2C a group,about 200 million years ago.

Ammonoids died during the big boom of DINOSAURS

"At the end of the Cretaceous Period, an asteroid colliding with Earth brought on a global mass extinction. A lingering impact winter halted photosynthesis on land and in the oceans, which had a major impact on food availability and was devastating for ammonites."

What also died during that asteroid

T-rex's

[sharp flame]

haha to be fair I thought people just knew that

that they lived in the same period

[balmy fog]

Yeah

[sharp flame]

since they are fossils

[balmy fog]

But thats your link tho

T-rex and ammonoids

[sharp flame]

very much so

better to be aware than overlook

[balmy fog]

Yeah

Ok so

Whats a common knowledge during that period of time

[sharp flame]

could be a theme, but we'd need at least one more clue for that

[balmy fog]

Oh

What happend after the asteroid hit?

[sharp flame]

death?

[tulip matrix]

The asteroid kicking off an ice age is an interesting link I didn't think about before

[balmy fog]

Glacial era, right?

Ice age = snowflakes

[sharp flame]

could very much be

[tulip matrix]

iiiiiice

[sharp flame]

I'm gonna pull out some linguistic links

[tulip matrix]

H2O but hexagon shaped

[balmy fog]

advacing together ❤️

[sharp flame]

Ammonite

Ammon

(from horns of Ammon)

[tulip matrix]

Amon Ra

[sharp flame]

so yeah if Amun was a link

you can see how Ammonite would point to him

[balmy fog]

Do we have any clues

related to amun?

apart from the name

[sharp flame]

we have the Sun gods from last tier

I suppose

Amun-Ra

is a fusion god

and last tier I think the Colossus (of Nero) was a connection

which was a Helios thing

[balmy fog]

But where does that lead us tho

Whats the link with the ice age era

and ammonite

Im doing advocate's devil work here

Just trying to push it to the limit

[sharp flame]

I mean this is more of an alternative

[balmy fog]

Oh got it!

[sharp flame]

the two interpretations don't have to lead to the same place

most clues do have a double meaning

and Ammonite + T-rex does seem to be one

just like the Titanic disaster and the Pompeii disaster being linked

in a sense

[balmy fog]

Well clearly

The overall link

is disaster

[tulip matrix]

This dude dresses like Doug Dimmadome

[sharp flame]

if we talking Sun, it links to Rainbows and light refraction and stuff and rays pretty well

[sharp flame]

very large headpiece

okay specifically though

Amun was the god of Wind

[tulip matrix]

Surely just to contain his massive brain

[tulip matrix]

Wind is responsible for most weather so rainbows and snowflakes would make sense

[balmy fog]

Ice Age = Historically disastrous moment

Titanic = Historically disastrous moment

[tulip matrix]

I'm waiting on the Nice Age

[balmy fog]

Wasnt Amun the god of creations?

[sharp flame]

oh

guess what is Compound No.79

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia

[balmy fog]

you are right mb

[spring halo]

hi

[sharp flame]

hey!

[balmy fog]

Hey @spring halo

So wait

[spring halo]

do you like the finals

[tulip matrix]

nah mid

[balmy fog]

Altough I would love to discuss this with you, this might not be the channel for it Roman, you should try to discuss that subject in #⚡┇the-finals-chat 🙂

[tulip matrix]

jk it's the best game ever

I want to play more

[spring halo]

you gest my name

[sharp flame]

The regions of the hippocampus in the brain are called the cornu ammonis – literally "Amun's Horns", due to the horned appearance of the dark and light bands of cellular layers.

very interesting

[fringe trench]

i havent heard anyone talk about what this translates to: the postcode system is there to support the efficient distribution of postal items

this post office is specifically for bjorlanda, which has the post code of 423 63

[sharp flame]

the text is from this site here

https://www.pts.se/sv/privat/post/postnummer/

^^ word for word ^^

[sweet swan]

dang yall be grinding fr

[sharp flame]

💪

[crude topaz]

423 00 is not used btw

[sharp flame]

still registered

[fringe trench]

probably already mentioned, but gota canal is linked to gothenburg. gota canal was made by thomas telford and torslanda is part of/right next to gothenburg

[crude topaz]

Im swede but i cant find what region of torslanda uses 423 00

[neon stream]

I said this before, but 0-63 reminds of indexes in comp sci 😂

hmmm

[sharp flame]

FOUND IT

god I was scrolling for so long

here is confirmation

lmfao

sorry, not a new find or anything

😭

[fringe trench]

you got me hyped

[neon stream]

doubles are usually 8 bytes, so 64 bits 🤔

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating-point_format

😅

[crude topaz]

423 63 is pretty much where göta canal starts though

[balmy fog]

Did anybody looked into the ice age era?

[fringe trench]

https://swe.postcodebase.com/node/15608

[fringe trench]

oh i didnt realise it goes straight past 423 63

[crude topaz]

Yeah i was thinking that, some postcodes are so called business post codes and not actual location on the map

[balmy fog]

Horns of Ammon were spread over the whole earth is a reference to the ice age @sharp flame

Wich also links up the snowflakes mabe

[cedar owl]

@proud minnow can you believe this weather we're having??

[balmy fog]

Dont solve the clues without me @sharp flame

[balmy fog]

Rob posted a SC of Monaco map with snow all over the place

It looked amazing

[sharp flame]

roooooob post the RIGHT image

or else I will post Monaco for everyone

[proud minnow]

Working on it... ._.

[crude topaz]

i saw the text said Monaco though

[balmy fog]

Why would Monaco have snow tho

Thats the real reason

[crude topaz]

climate change..

[balmy fog]

yeah

[sharp flame]

waiting 🙏

[fringe trench]

its in a virtual world, i guess you can do anything

[crude topaz]

like sun in Stockholm

maaan

[proud minnow]

@wet locust

[crude topaz]

Its actually started to snow here in JKPG...

[sharp flame]

okay so this was on purpose right

[balmy fog]

Why the emphasis on STOCKHOLM

[floral axle]

Partikel showing us some IRL particle effects

[sharp flame]

because he wrote Monaco

and changed it

[balmy fog]

Yeah

But I mean, the CM, 2 admins

Everybody from Embark talking about STOCKHOLM

[sharp flame]

cause it's snowing

haha

[proud minnow]

Just a typo, but perhaps snow in Monaco could be fun in the future... ._.

[balmy fog]

Rob!!!!

You lying

I saw the snowy Monaco

[sharp flame]

Rob slipped

and typed all of that 😭

[balmy fog]

🤣

[sharp flame]

don't worry Rob

cannot wait

[balmy fog]

Seriously is there a clue related to snowy monaco

I care more about the fucking treasure hunt now than the actual game

Please

I need to know

[sharp flame]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-america-marvel-avengers-gif-14328153

[balmy fog]

Oh my bad

[sharp flame]

hehe

[fringe trench]

oh, its just called image, not image(23)

[tulip matrix]

No mo sno in Monaco

[proud minnow]

Perhaps you can make a "frosty weapon skin"...?

[fringe trench]

i just have 23 other images in my downloads folder lol

[sharp flame]

oh lmfaoo

[balmy fog]

Are you tempting me now

[fringe trench]

robs given you a task blank

[sharp flame]

hey hey Rob, if you have snowstorm aftermath.. you can also have sandstorm aftermath...

I wanna see crazy weather now too..

[proud minnow]

You never know, everything is possible in THE FINALS.!

[tulip matrix]

Hol up
We talkin about meteorology

[balmy fog]

Either we are going crazy or u are insane

[tulip matrix]

I just googled chicxulub and a literal meteor just flew across my screen

[sharp flame]

...both?

[tulip matrix]

Google Easter egg lol

[sharp flame]

lmfao

that's cool

[tulip matrix]

It must be the first one because the latter has been true for ages

[crude topaz]

I ordered a a chicken burger for lunch, and it said "twin" chicken fillet burger and brain went all tin foil EE hunt

[balmy fog]

@proud minnow We can do a trade, I could do a Santa/snow themed skin in exchange of a small clue

How that works

[crude topaz]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_crater

[balmy fog]

I mean, to be fair, we clearly stepped it up today, good job y'all

[sharp flame]

we.. did?

[balmy fog]

Found links for the Ice Age, horns of ammon

[sharp flame]

sure, we did

[balmy fog]

Just gotta be precise now

Horns of Ammon is biblical, just gotta find the links

Also, now, the only shit I got stuck in my head is Snowy Monaco

[sharp flame]

shame you can't see it..

[sharp flame]

Dusty kinda semi-confirms the weather thing.. right??

[balmy fog]

You mean?

Yo

mythology

[sharp flame]

doesn't it state there that it's not biblically related

[balmy fog]

such as the horns of Ammon could not be related to the biclical flood but a flood, very very big flood still seemed possible

basically they are confirming horns of ammon is related to a huge ass flood

[balmy fog]

Right I misread it

[sharp flame]

they are not confirming tho

[balmy fog]

no

They are hypotitziting

Idk how to write that word sorry

[sharp flame]

they said that one possibility is stricken out, but that a flood could still be possible

it's def a possibility

[balmy fog]

Yeah but what flood are we talking about

[proud minnow]

But I wasn't planning to release any clues this week... but on the other hand, it's only Easter once a year I guess... ._.

[balmy fog]

A fan-made skin for a admin-made clue

That sounds just about fair

[sharp flame]

wait you do skins?

[balmy fog]

Non-officially, I dont want to steal Rob job

[sharp flame]

now how the hell

[balmy fog]

Page 18 @sharp flame

[crude topaz]

so should we take "but on the other hand, it's only Easter once a year I guess... ._." as a nother clue?

[sharp flame]

you just pinged all of embark

😭

[balmy fog]

RIGHT! Im second guessing everything ..........................

[crude topaz]

what how?

[sharp flame]

formatting

[crude topaz]

my bad..

[balmy fog]

wait so

bro w

[sharp flame]

jason bourne

damn

[sharp flame]

we could..

[hidden nacelle]

well where else would they take it lol

[sharp flame]

easter egg location

their house

[fringe trench]

well idk man, could be a clue lol

[sharp flame]

you never know..

[proud minnow]

Impressive, and YES it is from our office... ._.

[fringe trench]

i couldnt find anything in the gif either, i think its clear of clues. more just a wholesome post lol... i hope

[balmy fog]

Is there any ways for us to know Snowy Monaco was actually not supposed to be posted

[fringe trench]

well it got deleted and rob said NOOOOO

[balmy fog]

LMAO

[sharp flame]

I think it's supposed to

[crude topaz]

nothing is wholesome, everything is suspicious

[sharp flame]

Rob said he was working on something

[balmy fog]

Right but, im being mixed

[balmy fog]

Right

[sharp flame]

idk if I should post it or not

yknow

[proud minnow]

No there is nothing hidden in that gif... all assets with @wet locust are too perfect to mess with... ._.

[fringe trench]

same. probably not, unless rob says so

lol

[balmy fog]

Ah

its beautiful

[sharp flame]

to be fair, last time Rob also quickly deleted something it was for EE

[balmy fog]

Why the f would Monaco have snow

[crude topaz]

snow dust on hits might look cool

[sharp flame]

why would it have ASTEROIDS?

[crude topaz]

cause snow on Seoul would make everyone slip and die...

[balmy fog]

Wait what

[fallen jasper]

What is this chat on today

[proud minnow]

or LOW GRAVITY..?

[hidden nacelle]

copium

[balmy fog]

Rob came in, gave us gas and a lighter and said have fun

[crude topaz]

you know that "Chicxulub" crater has a gravity anomaly...

[fallen jasper]

Sounds about right

[balmy fog]

Wym

[crude topaz]

the crater from when dinos went poof

[fringe trench]

probably something super dense there

[crude topaz]

somones head..

[fallen jasper]

I mean gravity isn't a uniform constant, it's more strong at water level than it is on mountains for instance.

[fallen jasper]

I think what causes them at craters is the immense force that the impact has on the ground itself

[balmy fog]

Yeah i think its the the fact the meteor hits the ground so hard the explosion it does creates the crater

The rest being aftermath of the explosion

Wait

Did anything historical happened in Torslanda?

[crude topaz]

well i found an article about somone dressed up as a Trex and scaring people in Torslanda...

[fringe trench]

theres an impact crater in sweden at Dalarna
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siljan_Ring

[sharp flame]

🤣

[balmy fog]

Idk if there is a link but, Torslanda actually had a catholic church, this is pretty uncommon knowing sweden was viking

[crude topaz]

ah nvm, it just said Gothenburg

[balmy fog]

whats the link

to try passwords

[fringe trench]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2

[crude topaz]

This also happend at Torslanda Airport "In a notable 1972 incident, SAS flight 130 from Torslanda en route to Stockholm was hijacked and diverted to Bulltofta airport outside the Swedish city of Malmö. Nine Croatians imprisoned nearby were traded for 500.000 SEK before flying to Madrid, Spain, before being captured by police"

i wouldnt say historical though lol

[balmy fog]

I was trying to find a link between the ice age

and torslanda

[crude topaz]

pretty sure Torslanda was under ice

@sharp flame #📂┇the-finals-wiki message
When was this posted???

[hidden nacelle]

like 30 mins ago

[neon stream]

I don't see it 🤔

Was it deleted?

[crude topaz]

you have not seen anything

[hidden nacelle]

it has been deleted

[crude topaz]

these are not the robots your looking for

[neon stream]

Rob... 😒

[fringe trench]

it was accidently posted and the deleted but we were too quick

[sharp flame]

deleted

sorry

forgot about that one

[neon stream]

My hopes have become a reality 😂

[fringe trench]

Trollhätte Canal is the canal that connects torslanda to gota canal
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trollhätte_Canal

[neon stream]

Wait, you deleted it too? @sharp flame 😭

[crude topaz]

not the eyes blank

[balmy fog]

Mb I always forget

Just finished my meeting

Where we at

What we trying to find

[sharp flame]

hehe

[fringe trench]

potential hint to ice in the Trollhätte Canal wiki

The canal is open for cargo traffic nearly all year round except short periods in winter when its locks are subject to maintenance or affected by ice

The current locks of the canal were built in 1916. They are not large enough for modern day freighters, thus they do not have sufficient throughput capacity. Another factor is the age of the locks per se. They were built using technology and materials more than a hundred years ago. Despite regular maintenance they struggle to sustain the effects of water and ice. It is estimated that the locks could not be safely used after 2030.

[crude topaz]

"The Göta älv (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈjø̌ːta ˈɛlv]; "River of (the) Geats") is a river that drains lake Vänern into the Kattegat, at the city of Gothenburg, on the western coast of Sweden. It was formed at the end of the last glaciation, as an outflow channel from the Baltic Ice Lake to the Atlantic Ocean and nowadays it has the largest drainage basin in Scandinavia. "

[balmy fog]

Anything related to catastrophic events in the Kattegat?

I might be crazy, but ice age being a catastrophic event, Titanic also being one

White star line

[fringe trench]

The Kattegat was one of the first marine dead zones to be noted in the 1970s
but thats related to intense industrial activities

[crude topaz]

Also noted stuff about hydropower between river morriston and göteälv

[sharp flame]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_maritime_disasters

[sick stone]

ohh

wait

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_snow

[sharp flame]

dandruff 😭

[sick stone]

also, it is possible the ammonoidea is pointing to nautilus>sailor>Arthur Rostron

[sharp flame]

ngl some of these maritime disasters are really ironic

HMS Invincible, for example, lol

[tulip matrix]

Zero gravity RPG battle dome game mode when?

[sick stone]

also, if we're back to weather: #easter-eggs message

[crude topaz]

man, dont ride boats in the 18th century

[balmy fog]

I personally think the snowflakes are related to the ice age, wich is also related to the T-REX and Ammonoidea

[sick stone]

is there something specific in Stockholm that has a "twin" in Monaco?

[balmy fog]

Oh thats a good idea

[sharp flame]

tooo deeeep

[crude topaz]

Stockholm has Tors twin towers ive looked at

[sick stone]

why do *Titanic like that?

[tulip matrix]

hmm

Titanic was halved as well lol

[crude topaz]

one becomes 2

[balmy fog]

Also

[tulip matrix]

split like banana ice cream

[sick stone]

ammonoidea are usually depicted in halves as well

[tulip matrix]

Dat berg gone calved
Titanic got halved

[balmy fog]

Stockholm used to be Holm also

[wet locust]

OMG they saw my secret reference gathering technique! Those are the only real world particles I have access to. Nobody lets me destroy buildings 😦

[slender lodge]

Honestly ihavenoidea about ammonoidea

[balmy fog]

We did find a link this morning

with @sharp flame

[slender lodge]

But my joke 🥹

[sick stone]

rhyme is fun times

[sharp flame]

it was very funny

[tulip matrix]

Holm sweet Holm?

[sick stone]

❤️

[sharp flame]

I blubbed a little

[slender lodge]

Hehehe

[balmy fog]

Stockholm Syndrome

[sharp flame]

blubblubblub

[slender lodge]

🎣

[crude topaz]

fish go

[sharp flame]

but yeah

[tulip matrix]

feesh

[sharp flame]

I looked into Ammon

[slender lodge]

Scotty, that's what I call a master baiter (of fishes)

[sharp flame]

from Ammonite

[tulip matrix]

feesh go sheesh

[sick stone]

https://tenor.com/view/dirty-mouth-anchorman-whorish-mouth-gif-15601979

[slender lodge]

Haha I can't help it

[tulip matrix]

one feesh two feesh
red feesh #206888 feesh

[sharp flame]

anyway yeah Ammonite

[balmy fog]

Keep yall fresh, theory is, ammonoids went bye bye 60m years ago, when the meteor went kaboom, link to that could be the T-REX. Then, you could link it to Catastrophic event (titanic catastrophy, white star line catastrophy in 1800) Ice age being a catastrophic event

[sharp flame]

from the god Ammon

aka Amun

[balmy fog]

Then link this catastrophic event to Amun-Ra

[sharp flame]

(Horns of Ammon)

[balmy fog]

Wich was the god of air

[sharp flame]

hermmm

[balmy fog]

greek god

[sick stone]

I tried a potato joke like this yesterday (might've been 2 days ago)....

[timid solstice]

Ah 486 messages I guess I didn’t miss much

[sick stone]

no success

[sharp flame]

Dusty also mentioned the weather

[sharp flame]

sorry 😭

[balmy fog]

Keep yall fresh, theory is, ammonoids went bye bye 60m years ago, when the meteor went kaboom, link to that could be the T-REX. Then, you could link it to Catastrophic event (titanic catastrophy, white star line catastrophy in 1800) Ice age being a catastrophic event

[sharp flame]

so perhaps the weather clue is decent

[crude topaz]

you missed snowy monaco

there i said it

[sharp flame]

yeah

[balmy fog]

Oh and then out of no where

While we were talking about all the new ice age stuff

[crude topaz]

and 485 dead ends

[balmy fog]

Rob gave us a glimps of Snowy Monaco

Totally random............

Right

[timid solstice]

We suggested that

[slender lodge]

@timid solstice could u also add the Rob and dusty messages to your tier clues pin?

[balmy fog]

So now

[slender lodge]

Would be helpful

[balmy fog]

We're still lost

[slender lodge]

Oh rlly? Where

[balmy fog]

He deleted it

[slender lodge]

O

What did it say

[sick stone]

Glad to see Rob took my "it's not a bug, but a feature" point of view to heart

[balmy fog]

It was monaco screenshot in the game

but with snow

It went online for 3 seconds

then got deleted

Then a whole scenario emphasizing STOCKHOLM by the admins

then we forgot the ice age

and now we're lost

[fallen jasper]

Hello

[sharp flame]

HUH

[sharp flame]

I mean, could it be that they're just excited about celebrating the snow day

[balmy fog]

WHAT HE SAID

[sharp flame]

possibly

[crude topaz]

Kyne is involved confirmed..

[fallen jasper]

I'm not I just like being a rascal

[balmy fog]

Not cool

Im gonna go eat

Tired of it

Wish me luck

[slender lodge]

Wait what did he say

[crude topaz]

chew

who?

Kyne is held Hostage in STOKCHOLM apperently

[fallen jasper]

I wish

It would mean I get some snow

[sharp flame]

STOK CHOLM

[fallen jasper]

[crude topaz]

i cant use keyboards

to modern

[fallen jasper]

Can I interest you in the ZX Spectrum?

[slender lodge]

My beloved

[balmy fog]

Rainbow

[slender lodge]

That red looks 1 pixel off tho

[timid solstice]

Can I play ‘space ant war’ on it

[balmy fog]

All I see is clues

[neon stream]

This was a clue on a previous tier 😛

[crude topaz]

that looks sweet

[timid solstice]

#easter-eggs message

The clue

[hidden nacelle]

^

[crude topaz]

i have an IBM PC in my closet

[neon stream]

That we solved thanks to the red panda 😛

@prisma stump

still sus

[timid solstice]

By the way someone was asking about robs early games, he mentioned this as the first game he ever played #easter-eggs message

[balmy fog]

It was me

I think we were trying to find links with the crosses patterns

Because we tought it was aliens

😭

[native trail]

I am so excessively confused

is there an arg or something going on right now?

[hidden nacelle]

ye

[fringe trench]

Been going for what, like around 6 months?

[neon stream]

Yeah, a bit more, almost since the server started

[fringe trench]

Damn

[native trail]

this is intense

i’ve just read through the pins

gawdamn

[neon stream]

I had to leave right after I sent that message, but I just checked the Wiki, and it started on September 5th

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Easter_Eggs

[timid solstice]

With the tweet yeah

hey, we joined the server on the same day! @neon stream

[neon stream]

Timezones are fun 😂

A few minutes could have been enough to make that small difference 😂

I only started talking weeks later, when I joined the EE hunt 😂

[slender lodge]

lol

[neon stream]

When was the server opened to the public? 🤔

[slender lodge]

August 22nd/23rd (I think)?

[neon stream]

Oh nice, we were all the first members 💪🏻

I don't even remember how I found out about this server 😂

Probably from the ARC server

I'm not active on that one, since it's not official, and it doesn't have EEs 😂

[slender lodge]

Yeah I got this from Arc 😂

I joined immediately

[fallen jasper]

August 23rd, though I think Embark started working on it on the 15th or something

[timid solstice]

CEMENT! - HOLTOW

https://youtu.be/HZd4hQJ2MfA?t=2040

[neon stream]

We can now say for sure those weren't flour 😂

[hidden nacelle]

oh nvm lol

[neon stream]

@timid solstice good catch!

[neon stream]

Sorry, I missed this message. Thanks for the info!

[timid solstice]

or coffee!

[slender lodge]

ooh then a lot of us are the first server peeps

[sharp flame]

They changed it?

[slender lodge]

the 14 second trailer that got us hooked

[slender lodge]

[slender lodge]

woah

holtow pulled out their flour sponsor

[sharp flame]

Why would they change it tho..

(was the holtow possibly a clue?)

[slender lodge]

holtow is also more clear than cement which is more dof'ed

[timid solstice]

this is the original render im guessing

and then the EE one was holtow

[fallen jasper]

Rob might've put it in for the public version of the concept art just as a tease for the company

[slender lodge]

when ur listening to a song and a bridge looks like telford bridge

[timid solstice]

maybe the other way round, changing to holtow was to make us not think cement was a clue

and was a chance to use a sponsor

[sharp flame]

Hmmmm

Check the one in the folder

[neon stream]

True! I just checked a few of the hunters, and those who I thought that "have always been around", have actually always been around 😂

[slender lodge]

yepp, its crazy but nice to see

[sharp flame]

wait

[sharp flame]

is the one on the right the date you joined?

[hidden nacelle]

yes

left one is when you made your discord account

[sharp flame]

ngl

I thought I joined later than you guys

😭

[slender lodge]

ofc i joined the finals in 2018

i pre-ordered the discord

[sharp flame]

Day 1 💪💪💪

[timid solstice]

What’s that?

[sharp flame]

Idk I assume there is a version of the Holtow cement in the folder

[timid solstice]

I think the press kit one is the EE one

[unkempt crypt]

2018? rookie numbers

[neon stream]

It seems like most hunters are from the initial wave of players, some from the alpha trailer wave, and then a few from the beta trailer wave

I hope we get more hunters soon

[neon stream]

I was using TS and Skype back then 😂

[fallen jasper]

hmm

[sharp flame]

I reckon we have enough..

we are just stumped at the moment

[sick stone]

Where my pre-beta gang at?

[neon stream]

Yeah, we have enough, and I like we are a small group of hunters. I'm just curious about how the hunt will look when we are many more, Rob will probably make it way more difficult, and "broad"

[neon stream]

Dec 07, I consider "alpha trailer wave" 😂

[sick stone]

after alpha though

a rare breed I guess

Too rare to live

Too rare to die

[balmy fog]

YO

What did i miss

[balmy fog]

damn

Did we find anything about the ice age

[vital cove]

Hmm

[fallen jasper]

Hmm

[jagged sparrow]

this one is even before my main lol

damn hank thats early asf

[floral axle]

Jan club

[jagged sparrow]

whys it white

https://tenor.com/view/predator-arnold-schwarzenegger-hand-shake-arms-gif-3468629

[slender lodge]

Ahh fair fair

[pure loom]

One "double" path I've been pondering is things that have state changes:
Snowflake: ice>water
T-rex and ammonoid: a living species>extinct
Titanic: A floating ship>a wreck
Rainbows: Visible when it's both sunny and raining at the same time>disappear if either of those stops

Inb4 James Bond 'You Only Live Twice' clue

[crude topaz]

boats only have 2 states, either they float or they sink

nothing in between

[pure loom]

exactly

[sick stone]

stationary on land...

so

liar?

[crude topaz]

i dont trust boats lol

well they could also be moving to be fair

[sick stone]

hydrofoil states of being....

[nimble iron]

Can anyone summarise whats been found since Saturday?

[tulip matrix]

trying to spell something with the elements and the crosses lol

[balmy fog]

Yeah

@tulip matrix

Try to spell it with swedish alphabet

but

Sorry to bother, wouldn't be nice to have a voice chat related to the easter-eggs?

We could share screens

Search together as a community

You wouldn't need to be in the VC but, as of right now, I would of loved to share my screen

[balmy fog]

Its a pigpen code!!!!!!!!!

[tulip matrix]

what's it say?

[balmy fog]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigpen_cipher

Naopleon Cipher

Napoleon Cipher

King Arthur

[fringe trench]

what if you move it down a tile so the symbols point up/down to the above/below elements

[pure loom]

We've had pigpen code before, but how would you work out what's a left and right or centre in what Duh has posted?

[balmy fog]

Pigpen is always 3x3

• is your middle

↓ is down

↑ is up

[pure loom]

But you'd have no corners using the code presented

[balmy fog]

Hold up

let me stream

[fringe trench]

theres also not enough variation in the output of the pigpen cypher. itd be like BBEHBBBBEHBBEHB

[balmy fog]

No!

Hold up

[pure loom]

what if it were for a keypad?

[balmy fog]

oh

could be

[pure loom]

but even then you'd only have 8, 5, 2 as numbers easily shown

hmmm

[balmy fog]

pigpen doesnt work

u right

lol

[pure loom]

what purpose would the symbols be then?

[balmy fog]

There has to be an ancient cipher

[fringe trench]

[slender lodge]

can i have a b please

rhb: "i know what is is"

[pure loom]

[balmy fog]

Maybe?

omg

Doesnt this looks like the ammonoids

[fringe trench]

yeah i doubt its a cypher, there isnt enough variation in the input. its gotta be linked to some pattern/grid

[balmy fog]

Right

[slender lodge]

yeah

[balmy fog]

Got to be numbers too

It cant be alphabets

Or something like the periodic table that actually leads to letters

[pure loom]

unless it's numbers and the variation doesn't matter so much

But I think maybe unlikely

[slender lodge]

Could it be axis movement totalling up to a shape/direction/etc

[tulip matrix]

the green would just be no movement tho?

[fringe trench]

mmm possibly, but we dont know the starting number, and then itd just be ascending and descending most of the time

[slender lodge]

I was thinking since there's 4 states, they would be N/E/S/W

[tulip matrix]

ah

[pure loom]

then are the columns even related to one another, or is it two individual rows?

[slender lodge]

OR maybe one of them is X, one of them is Y and the other is Z

[balmy fog]

Don't forget its 6-6-6

[slender lodge]

Yeah but instead of extending from themselves, they would from an origin point

[tulip matrix]

[slender lodge]

me

hmm its a 2x15 grid which is weird...

or is is 16 and the last one is just not filled? and if so, which side

[balmy fog]

wha

[slender lodge]

liek this

[pure loom]

Here's an idea. There are 15 columns. There are 7 double symbols (where there is the same symbol at top and bottom). If we ignore the doubles (which maybe Rob's double words comment points to) we have 8 symbols remaining - which could be binary. A blank being 0 and any single symbol being a 1. That would give us 01101001 = 105

[balmy fog]

I already tried the binary

But you can def try it

I mightve missed some

[slender lodge]

It is pretty cool how you get an 8 bit binary out of that 👀

[timid solstice]

ascii 105 is - i

[balmy fog]

man

the pattern

it doesnt work

it goes up up down

it doesnt work

look my stream

it should've been down up down

everytime we hit 4 + it resets

[timid solstice]

https://www.unicodepedia.com/unicode/latin-extended-a/105/latin-small-letter-a-with-ogonek/
U+105 - ą

[slender lodge]

UP + DOWN = null
blank + blank = 0
PLUS + blank = 1
UP + blank = 1
DOWN + blank = 1?

[pure loom]

Element 105: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubnium

Should have named it Duhbnium

[slender lodge]

i have a dumb correlation but if yyou look at d and b (db) then they're twins just reflected... i wonder if thats like... something lol

[timid solstice]

Doublenium

[tulip matrix]

Would have been a massive dub if they did

[balmy fog]

That's the full pattern
