easter-eggs

[crude topaz]

lol

[sharp flame]

but yeah I don't think it does

however Rob would totally make the specific car brand mean something and all

[hidden nacelle]

is this what you are pointing out?

[sharp flame]

that's the L

[hidden nacelle]

i see a s,l,g,r

[crude topaz]

yeah seems like something smudged with finger maybe

[crude topaz]

no i think he means something is smudge with his finger in the dirt, like how you use your finger on a dirty windows and write "dirty car"

[sharp flame]

yeah but that's not what I was pointing out I mean

when I said the V is visible

[hidden nacelle]

maybe im just seeing things

[sharp flame]

can you see what I was tryna say though

[hidden nacelle]

ye

[sharp flame]

anyway so any Polestar notion I had is now out of the window

[timid solstice]

so that message was pointing to gothenburg then, dusty even said it

[sharp flame]

I see it as the other way round though

thought gothenburg was pointing *towards* Volvo

[timid solstice]

or its neither and its torslanda

[sharp flame]

then why the car?

the Volvo car?

[sharp flame]

https://www.volvocars.com/intl/v/discover/heritage-car-models

here is a nice compilation

if you wanted to find the exact car

[crude topaz]

im guessing volvo is the clue from the first piocture with torslanda

[sharp flame]

this one

this V shape should make it significantly easier

[crude topaz]

dont think the 140/240 series had the letter on the hood

PV´s and Amazon had them , but PV´s hood is more pointy

[sharp flame]

hmm maybe it is just supposed to be Torslanda, yeah

[timid solstice]

https://printler.com/en/print-shop/7901-kustas-anders/

could be related

[sharp flame]

just had a fat-brained idea

what if we post it on

and ask

🧠

obviously we would guess the wrong car in the title so more people come in and try to correct us

[timid solstice]

does look like the P1200 or P130 to me

[crude topaz]

if its an Amazon you guys owe me a snack

[timid solstice]

yeah its one of those 3 for sure

[crude topaz]

I FOUND SOMETHING!

A picture of my car...

[hidden nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/wings-of-redemption-crying-sean-ranklin-look-here-look-listen-jordie-jordan-gif-15031044

[crude topaz]

im so ssorry lol

[sharp flame]

it's 2am

I'm gonna post this on Reddit then sleep

[timid solstice]

its an amazon 100%

[sharp flame]

wheel arches too steep imo

but yeah fits almost perfect

[timid solstice]

Amazon, female warrior...

[sharp flame]

hung up on the door window proportions and the wheel arch but yeah the closest so far

[timid solstice]

missing bumper at the front and the back of the arch is in snow

[sharp flame]

yep I see it

also the car is at a slight angle

weird perspective

[timid solstice]

whats your preference? sweet or savoury

[crude topaz]

im fine, posting a pic of my car is a snack

[sharp flame]

which typa amazon tho who cares

[timid solstice]

P121 ?

[sharp flame]

I mean maybe Rob doesn't know either

haha

and we figured it out for him

(being optimistic)

[crude topaz]

Rob, if you like old Volvos get an P1800 Cyan

[timid solstice]

gn all

[sick stone]

How many colors would you guys say these rainbows have?

[sick stone]

Gn💤

[sick stone]

3 at most, right?

[crude topaz]

blue and yellow kinda mix a little right? See small tint of green

[timid solstice]

2 colours

green and red mix to make yellow

[sick stone]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifröst

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gjallarbrú

Return to a pair of bridges!

[crude topaz]

yeah ive posted that before cause it aligns with a few of the clues at least

but combining colors made me curios

[sick stone]

Yes, but #easter-eggs message

[timid solstice]

hmm there is blue there too

[sick stone]

Parallels the Torslanda bridges nicely

[timid solstice]

B G R RGB

[crude topaz]

oh great, wiki color theory, click on "Light" and boom Galileo

[timid solstice]

[crude topaz]

Anyway as said, Volvo logo is in Alchemy "Iron", in Astrology its Mars. Mars is also the same god as Tyr

and at Tyr were back to Runic signs...

great

[sick stone]

Froh is Freyja’s twin brother… Seems kinda “lord of the rings”-y if you read about it

[sick stone]

Always

[crude topaz]

hmmm Tyr..

tyrannosaurus rex?

[sick stone]

I’ll admit this one is a bit weak

[hidden nacelle]

the Temporal range is colored idk if thats something

[sick stone]

But now I must go, for it is tomorrow here and I need Zz-s

[hidden nacelle]

King Lizard is a name for a band

sauros, meaning lizard and rex, meaning king, which we already had

[proud minnow]

I would love to have one.!

[hidden nacelle]

rob its 4am in sweden right?

why you not in bed

[proud minnow]

Yes, 04:16… ._.

[proud minnow]

One of these days (nights) you know… got home around midnight… was just going to play some games etc… and then BAM 4 hours past.!

[hidden nacelle]

where does the time go....

[crude topaz]

nights are calming

[proud minnow]

(and then I had to read up on the 100+ messages in this channel, haha)

[hidden nacelle]

hehehe

[proud minnow]

BTW I have a SAAB actually, but that is not related to the EE-hunt.

[hidden nacelle]

this?

[sharp flame]

Yoo confirmed

[proud minnow]

This… ._.

[hidden nacelle]

oh, very fancy

[sharp flame]

Hey Rob!

Just ignore me denying that the car was an Amazon

😭

[proud minnow]

It wasn’t that easy to see that it was an Amazon, so you are excused… ._.

[crude topaz]

ah im bad at SAAB models, i was guessing a 96 though

[sharp flame]

As long as you didn't miss this masterpiece

🙏🙏

[crude topaz]

kinda got stuck on if the 96 had a nickname

[proud minnow]

Yes.! It was my dad’s first car, then he kept it in a garage for 30 years or so… I restored it about 10 years ago… ._.

[crude topaz]

Thers as nice 96 with 620hk 🙂 But yeah its one of those cars that i would be interested in getting, though my Nissan is eating all my money

Think the most special car my father had was a Volvo 240 series with V6

or was it a straight six hmmm

[fallen jasper]

We need a channel that's just us telling Rob to go to bed

[crude topaz]

Ok , before bed

We had a clue regarding Friday , day of Freya

We had Torslanda, Thor. Thor is Thursday

Volvo Emblem is Iron, alos Mars and Tyr. Tyr is Tuesday

thats all, bed time

[unkempt crypt]

Not even a Suga smh

[sharp flame]

look I know I'm coming from all angles at the Polar caps thing

but yeah, Volvo's symbol is technically based off of the Mars symbol

I really don't know how most of these clues have alternative answers which both lead to the Poles 😭

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1042_Amazone

[timid solstice]

If the answer turns out to be Fortnite…

[sharp flame]

We haven't had much confirmations on anything to do with the poles

we should start looking at more aspects

In terms of Polar ice caps we do have Earth, Mars and Pluto

[sick stone]

Polarity could have a different meaning than magnets

[sharp flame]

we already have electron polarity

I wonder if thats it

you know what else has 2 sides..

a Coin..

[sick stone]

I know #easter-eggs message

[tulip matrix]

eggs have poles

[pure loom]

Duality, poles or doubles seems to be one primary clue. But what would others be?

[sharp flame]

I wanna say Ice

[tulip matrix]

you mean I know
hahaha

[sick stone]

Duh knows*

[tulip matrix]

We'll just chalk it up to "Great minds think alike."

[sharp flame]

the snowflakes, Telford's ICE, the ICE in Robatama, Titanic's Iceberg, etc

[pure loom]

Maybe crystals - we did have the precious stones in the NamaTama earrings.

[sharp flame]

we did?

ah yeah

[pure loom]

Although ice could also be a dual state thing.

[tulip matrix]

silly Ice with it's hexagonal crystals and freezing point of 0C

which used to be 100C

"Prior to 1743 the values were reversed (i.e. the boiling point was 0 degrees and the freezing point was 100 degrees)."

surprised you guys haven't looked into Anders Celcius yet

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-gif-gif-26042600

[tulip matrix]

That face when you go down a thousand paths and one of them ends up being relevant

[pure loom]

Steam would have had to call themselves Ice

[tulip matrix]

Ice ice baby...

Steam steam baby...

[pure loom]

Rob’s CA clues… Celsius Anders

[tulip matrix]

oh frick

[pure loom]

Swapped around

[tulip matrix]

Aww, aren't they cute?

babby eggs with momma egg

[pure loom]

“In 1742 he proposed the Celsius temperature scale in a paper to the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala, the oldest Swedish scientific society, founded in 1710. His thermometer was calibrated with a value of 0 for the boiling point of water and 100 for the freezing point. In 1745, a year after Celsius's death, the scale was reversed by Carl Linnaeus to facilitate more practical measurement.”

[tulip matrix]

wowee look at aaalll those connections

[pure loom]

What a coincidence

[sick stone]

#easter-eggs message They kind of are

[tulip matrix]

are we getting warmer or colder?

[sick stone]

yes

[tulip matrix]

[sick stone]

definitely

[tulip matrix]

one way ⬆️ or another ⬇️

I'm gonna find ya

I'm gonna get ya get ya get ya

Do ya think Nama is a Chicken egg? or a Goose egg?

I think goose

cause the goose lays the golden googies

gah!
This would have been an amazing password for this tier haha

it has h2o right in the word

[crude topaz]

eating peanuts and brain goes, hmm these are in 2 halves. 2....

[tulip matrix]

2 halves like... brain...

[crude topaz]

it takes 2 to tango..

[tulip matrix]

So

What do you guys think is the origin of THE FINALS logo?

[north crag]

I'm here to invade

And spread misinformation

Not actually I just wanted to hi bye now

[tulip matrix]

I always assumed it was meant to look like two mountain peaks in the shape of an F (A metaphor for 'climbing' to the top).

but what if

it's also a rune

the rune Fehu for example ᚠ

if flipped vertically is very similar to THE FINALS logo

Fehu means "wealth" in old norse / proto-germanic

or money
or cattle/sheep which is associated with wealth

[tulip matrix]

like a shell or an atmosphere

with holes...

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

I was looking at this suspect part of the can

and though "kinda looks like OOZ"

[crude topaz]

oh right, i forgot to try to find more stuff from the picture

crosses look slightly different to right?

like they aged lol

[tulip matrix]

``the three O's in the title (Ｗ（ダブル） read as "Double" and 555（ファイズ） read as "Φ's/Phi's/Faiz") aside from an alternate spelling of the name of the main Kamen Rider: Ooz.[5] Both "OOO" and "Ooz" are intended to be read as "O's", referring to the multiple uses of the letter O in the title as well as "multiple kings" (王ｓ, Ōzu). The title OOO signifies the three medals that the main Kamen Rider uses to transform as well as being representative of the infinity symbol (
∞\infty ) with an additional circle.

The 28th episode of Kamen Rider OOO serves as the 1000th episode of the Kamen Rider Series since Kamen Rider premiered on April 3, 1971.``

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

[tulip matrix]

Aged like eggs?

[sharp flame]

[sharp flame]

Post a image of the sniper too

[north crag]

[hidden nacelle]

ye its the sniper

[sharp flame]

I can make the right and left visible separately

[hidden nacelle]

playing around with exposure should work

[sharp flame]

how pixel perfect sensitive are qr codes?

[sharp flame]

can't take it anymore

[slender lodge]

calm down bro

[crude topaz]

[sharp flame]

[slender lodge]

[sharp flame]

❤️

[slender lodge]

[sharp flame]

LMFAO

let us finish bro

[slender lodge]

u pre ordered it

i cant scan it 🤔

[sick stone]

I can't sleep before it's figured out

[sick stone]

I think the middle bit (vertical) is too undefined

[slender lodge]

Yeah you rite

[sharp flame]

FINALLY

[slender lodge]

u crazy mf

[hidden nacelle]

👀

[quiet silo]

QR codes are pretty sensitive does that scan? there has to be a good way to pull the original qr out of that image

[sick stone]

IS this considered brute force?

hehe

[slender lodge]

it doesn't hmm

[sharp flame]

lmfao

[quiet silo]

I think that is more an example of force of will lol

[slender lodge]

now build it with squares

[sharp flame]

on it chief

[slender lodge]

actually nvm dont

it should read like this

[crude topaz]

hmmm

[sick stone]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/rival-1

[sharp flame]

😭wtf

WHY DID YOU WAIT UNTIL NOW

[slender lodge]

oh niceee

sad fish 😭

[crude topaz]

lol

[sharp flame]

just to make completely sure

that is the QR code right

[sick stone]

[crude topaz]

all this work!

[sick stone]

I take 0 credit

[slender lodge]

whys it named 'pp.jpg' lmfao

[crude topaz]

lol

[sharp flame]

probably stands for something

[quiet silo]

Malte Johnson Orkesteri is the actual artist of this one that is for side A. Side B which is the one depicted is Raija Mannerla

[hidden nacelle]

TWO

[crude topaz]

looks Finish

[hidden nacelle]

ye it is

[quiet silo]

It is

Rival is a Finnish label

Was made in 1959

[hidden nacelle]

gothenburg

[quiet silo]

Important names are A Side:
Artist: Malte Johnson Orkesteri
Composer: Cole Porter
Title: High Society

B Side (the side of the image)
Artist: Raija Mannerla
Title: Kaksi Kitaraa (Two Guitars)
Composer: Traditional, Aaro Jalkanen
Arranger: Olli Häme

Important to note Malte is actually from the OTHER side side A

I got that messed up

The image side artist is Raija Mannerla

[hidden nacelle]

https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malte_Johnson

[crude topaz]

Better to psot the eng one if there is one

[sharp flame]

there is not

[crude topaz]

ah poop

[sharp flame]

does your browser translate?

[crude topaz]

i read Swedish , i was just worried about others

[sharp flame]

does anyone have a link?

to the song?

[quiet silo]

Gonna be honest I can't find the original only covers

Well idk if it is the original probably not

[hidden nacelle]

oh nvm lol

wrong one

[quiet silo]

Seems to trace back a long time but this one at 1959 by this artist is hard to find

[sharp flame]

how the hell does Rob-

[quiet silo]

Got it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o0qfiE4WUo

This is Raija Mannerla's version but it doesn't specify two guitars

Copyright on this version follows though and registered public trademark was 1959 Levytukku

Same year as our record

[sharp flame]

ooough this is deep

I like it

[crude topaz]

im having a eggsistential crisis

[sharp flame]

a second clue image inside a clue image

I would say this is new

but we probably just missed the previous ones 😭

[quiet silo]

Raija did A LOT of covers of of english and american jazz but in Finnish vocals.

I wonder if this is a cover for something

[crude topaz]

somone "worthy" needs to start summarize the clues from this one

[sharp flame]

by the way

[quiet silo]

Oh it LITERALLY means Two guitars lmao

It isn't a distinction of a version with two guitars hahahaha

[sharp flame]

can anyone else find the image online?

I really can't find the image

on any site yet

[quiet silo]

I found it on a record collector website

45cat

[sharp flame]

plenty of other ones for other songs

[quiet silo]

Both sides

[sharp flame]

I see it now

original image

https://mail.45cat.com/record/rl5

it's the exact same one

smudge on the R

photoshopped out on Robs

[crude topaz]

are you scanning its for EE´s?

[sharp flame]

kinda

but its identical to another image

[quiet silo]

I can't find a SINGLE thing on the artists Raija Mannerla

She has a haunting voice though

[sharp flame]

now how the hell does Rob-

again won't ask

[crude topaz]

now im having secons thoughts about the code..

it could be an L lol

[quiet silo]

Woah wait

Important distinction in images

Rob photoshopped out Raija's first name leaving only Mannerla

That is a deliberate omission for sure

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

[hidden nacelle]

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

[quiet silo]

Found this hit for a board game creator

So did eoin hahaha

[hidden nacelle]

lol

[crude topaz]

back at kari eh?

[sharp flame]

yoo

was looking at the star gem wayy back

[hidden nacelle]

star of africa

[sharp flame]

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

in case y'all wanted a 404 on the side (different Gem)

[quiet silo]

Yeah star of africa seems to be the biggest relation on Kari's page

Swedish versions of the game given our other clues around sweden right now were:
A. Den försvunna diamanten
B. Afrikas stjärna

[crude topaz]

Anyone remember Flight MH19 btw?

[sharp flame]

yep! looked into it

[hidden nacelle]

VM?

[sharp flame]

😭

[hidden nacelle]

lol

[sharp flame]

rob said there was only two

and now we have 10 VMs

[crude topaz]

hahaha

[sharp flame]

by the way

the gem is part of the Crown Jewels

haha

by the way I'm 60% sure this is Helios

[quiet silo]

That thing on the right is the diamond from the board game's box I think

Top right

[sharp flame]

not quite

super close

[hidden nacelle]

looks like one of those dices

[sharp flame]

perhaps those 'dices'

were gems

[crude topaz]

i hops its not a kaleidoscoped picture

also do i need to mention the double rainbows even?

or triple even

[sick stone]

Apollo and Artemis were apparently twin gods of (amongst other things) sudden deaths

as in Titanic

Apollo symbol is really close too

[quiet silo]

Gems, Light Refraction, Stars/Sun

[crude topaz]

many rainbows, well their not actualy rainbows this time really

[sick stone]

I mean, it has to be a diamond clue, right? quite literally a Diamond and a Star

[quiet silo]

Well it's either a capital D diamond clue or a lowercase d diamond clue

[sick stone]

and we are into norse mythology...

so train up north...

[quiet silo]

Right light refraction, ice/snow, "crystalline structures" clues all over that too

With the FINALS having such a heavy connection to video games both lore and the fact that it's a video game I looked into if our board game was ever made digital and found this

Afrikan tähti was made into a video game for the Commodore 64 in 1985 by Otso Pakarinen and Jari Heikkinen who were given permission to make the game from Kari Mannerla.[4] The game was published by Amersoft and produced by Jouko Riikonen. Programming the game took roughly two months. It was made with help of some PROMAL source code which the creators got from Amersoft.

[crude topaz]

thers other types of crystals then just daimond that are shaped like that? right?

[quiet silo]

Idk if any of that has any connections in it for anyone else but I didn't have anything jump out at me

[crude topaz]

is a prism by definition triangular ?

hmm the C64 had rainbow colors if i remember correctly btw

[quiet silo]

Nope they just have to have mirrored faces

[crude topaz]

anyway i need to cool off, information overload

[sick stone]

The norse god Baldr has a ship that is ver "Titanic"-like in it's description. He's also a god of light, like Apollo

And the son of Frigg

[quiet silo]

Also Baldr was considered Day Personified

Many depictions of him giving a very renaissance style halo

[sick stone]

yeah

[quiet silo]

Also only killable by mistletoe

[sick stone]

He has a street in Stockholm named after him

[quiet silo]

For this act, Odin and the asynja Rindr gave birth to Váli, who grew to adulthood within a day and slew Höðr.

You guys ever get so mad at your son you quickly make another son to kill that one?

[crude topaz]

thought you meant it was like 3 branches of a snowflake

[timid solstice]

confirmed n- ice!

[proud minnow]

This was a big source of fighting in the Runesson family when I was a kid… my older sister always picked first since it was her game… but I always prefered Tangier, but she almost ALWAYS picked it to tease me… ._.

[nimble iron]

yeah tangier has a tile 2 spaces away. cairo only has a tile 3 spaces away.

i kinda liked cairo more since it is closer to south africa

cause you get a reward when reaching it first

i think it was 500

anyone know about this?

[sharp flame]

iceberg

Titanic reference

(I think?)

[fringe trench]

yeah it 100% is

google images is full of illustrations just like it

[sharp flame]

was just saying also

Iceberg has 2 sides

overwater and underwater

that's what they're known for

[fringe trench]

the titanic got cut in half too lol

[placid cape]

isn't that the iceberg used in the iceberg meme

[sharp flame]

no

[placid cape]

hm

[sharp flame]

maybe

seems like a random one Rob found

[fringe trench]

somehow, L24239MH1964PLC012971 is the identification number of an indian health and hygiene company?

[sharp flame]

no way

it is

either theres some weird connection, or a crazy coincidence lmao

Connects to healthcare as a symbol for medicine, AND Iris is often depicted carrying a Caduceus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_(mythology)

[sick stone]

Mercury

Caduceus also connects to Apollo

Marcurys “Hg” designation comes from it’s Latin name meaning “water-silver” it has a rare radioisotope that decays into gold

Although this feels like it’s getting further away from the answer..

This is almost certainly the clue, Proctor and Gamble are an enormous company

[sharp flame]

It says that it is an Indian Company

in the listing

but it definitely is the same company

[pure loom]

It may in there, but overall P&G is massive

[sharp flame]

it's just the indian branch I assume?

[pure loom]

Yeah. Are they Dow Jones listed?

you're right it is MASSIVE

[pure loom]

They own Gillette and Braun shavers

[sharp flame]

I have no idea how we would find anything in that pile

they have interacted with so many names

[sharp flame]

#easter-eggs message

[nimble iron]

^^

[pure loom]

I don’t understand. You mean you played the record?

[neon stream]

I don't think that diamond is the one from that game, I think it's the Hope Diamond

[sharp flame]

1: Kari was found in this image
2: A QR code led to this image below:
3: The image is edited, and one of the edits is the removal of the first name of Mannerla

[hidden nacelle]

qr code in the middle of the t

[sharp flame]

4: Mannerla + Kari led us to Kari Mannerla

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

which Rob confirmed

Mannerla made up the name of the game when reading an article about the biggest diamond in the world, the Star of Africa

[crude topaz]

The african star was on the box to right?

[pure loom]

Which game are you talking about? I was about to mention the Star of Africa game.

[sharp flame]

Kari Mannerla made a board game based on the Star of Africa

Dev has played that board game

So has Rob

they were talking about it

[neon stream]

#easter-eggs message

[crude topaz]

It was also made on C64?

[sharp flame]

#easter-eggs message

[neon stream]

Unless, that diamond on the game IS the Hope Diamond 🤔

[sharp flame]

referring to the Board Game

[sharp flame]

it is not

[pure loom]

It is, isn’t it

[sharp flame]

the only 'named' diamond in the Board Game is the Cunningham AKA Star of Africa

[neon stream]

Who do I trust? 😅

Oh, ok

[sharp flame]

the other ones are just generic gems

[neon stream]

I'll trust fish on this one 😂

[sharp flame]

Read it on the wiki and convirmed with DEV

[pure loom]

This is what I’m confused about. When you read through the conversations the game is hardly even referred to.

https://tenor.com/view/feelings-i-am-crazy-pills-gif-19623103

[sharp flame]

the very message you asked about was in reply to a photo of the game lol

[crude topaz]

So did Rob and Dev own the board game or the C64 game?

[sharp flame]

board game

[neon stream]

So...should Mannerla and the board game lead to the Hope Diamond, or the other way? 🤔

[sharp flame]

are we sure it's the hope diamond lol

[nimble iron]

is hope diamond=cullinan?

[neon stream]

I'm like 85% sure

[sharp flame]

=/=

[neon stream]

(Which is a lot)

[sharp flame]

for reference

[crude topaz]

Man just check both paths if unsure lol

[pure loom]

It’s not a reply to anything though.

[neon stream]

Yeah, I think it is, because the Hope Diamond relates to both Louis XIV and the Titanic

[nimble iron]

then why is tyhe hope duiamond importanht?

[nimble iron]

oh ok

[sharp flame]

he used this exact image

it matches 100%

gotcha Serp

[neon stream]

There we go!

[timid solstice]

Link fish

[sharp flame]

so now we have a connection between Louis XIV and the Board Game lol https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/hope-diamond-was-once-symbol-louis-xiv-sun-king-180949482/

[crude topaz]

Titanic is kinda set in stone now

[sharp flame]

oh for sure

along with the ICE(berg) aspect I believe

[neon stream]

But why the Mannerla board game? Which way should this go?

[sharp flame]

idk but I love it

[neon stream]

Mannerla -> Hope Diamond
Hope Diamond -> Mannerla

[sharp flame]

anything outside of our current clues is useful

[proud minnow]

Both.!

[crude topaz]

Dont think Kari/board game path is done

[timid solstice]

Kari kari kari

[sharp flame]

also I again wanna say that Rob is INSANE for having this connect

[neon stream]

Rob, for some reason I think that you planned this tier to be a short one

[sharp flame]

2 Karis

both connect

[hidden nacelle]

Louis XIV also known as Louis the Great or the Sun King

[sharp flame]

loads of these connect in loads of ways

[timid solstice]

?

[crude topaz]

2 sucks , cause its so universal

[tulip matrix]

To make up time for last tier?

[sharp flame]

By the way, the Sun, Apollo, Helios has come up lots too

[sharp flame]

Kari, wind deity

we had the moon, S/2006

[crude topaz]

2 games ... software and hardware lol

[timid solstice]

Wind … don’t know wind is correct or not

[sharp flame]

?

can you reword that 😭

[crude topaz]

me?

[sharp flame]

nahh flex

[pure loom]

Oh ffs - Discord mobile has the link off the screen 😂

[neon stream]

Aren't those other two sun gods too? 🤔

[sharp flame]

IKR, when you click on a message replied it sends you way below the actual OG message

[timid solstice]

You said 2 Kari, we don’t know if the wind Kari is connected 100%

[sharp flame]

I just lump them together, as they are basically the same

[sharp flame]

I mean again the Moon

came up numerically

[timid solstice]

??

[proud minnow]

Yes… unfortunately you spent too much time on the previous tier, would be such a shame if we miss the window for the next level…

[timid solstice]

That led to Kari yes

[crude topaz]

we really need a update on confirmed eggs..

Does this count as an embed fail? it's supposed to be a gif

😂

[sharp flame]

Ammonoidea, Horns of Amun

[sharp flame]

I do see what you mean though, it's possible the namesake isn't actually included in the hunt

[timid solstice]

Well yea the moon designation code led to Kari the name, but now we have the Kari we needed to find imo

[sharp flame]

my Refraction path is still going strong

[sharp flame]

I really think it's a Double

[neon stream]

@tulip matrix the name of that emoji 😂

[sharp flame]

Only cause of the Horns of Ammon

but yeah

[sharp flame]

this is how the Hope Diamond connects

[crude topaz]

hmmm, more ean/code?

[sharp flame]

definitely not a QR, that's all the input I have 😭

[crude topaz]

yeah not qr

[sharp flame]

also btw

[crude topaz]

but the pixelastion is to good to just be noise?

[sharp flame]

Rob's message means the answer is very much in grasp

we probably have all of our components already

[tulip matrix]

[neon stream]

Yeah, I think with what we have, we can figure out the answer

[tulip matrix]

It's very punny

[sharp flame]

we can probably solve it in this very image

🙏

we gotta just work it out

[tulip matrix]

nah man I already packed my lunch

[neon stream]

Yeah, we have a lot of connections, we should be able to find the answer already

[pure loom]

@neon stream could you just wrap it up for us. That would be great. Cheers 👍

[tulip matrix]

In for the long haul

[crude topaz]

bring out a list of tried passw0rds lol

[sharp flame]

we have plenty of loose ends though!

solvable ones

they're just buried way up there

[neon stream]

I think fish will solve this tier

[proud minnow]

Well, I wouldn't say "very much", but I double checked the next tier page last night just in case (but I did that day 12 during the last tier, haha)... ._.

[neon stream]

Time to connect them, I guess. Which ones are you talking about?

[timid solstice]

Unicode? Alt code?

[sharp flame]

and then previous images too

like that one string

[crude topaz]

oh, this might be solveable, back in 48hours hah

[sharp flame]

oooh

[crude topaz]

about the doubles

this has 6 DIFFERENT CONNECTIONS

[proud minnow]

There are a couple of thousand nodes in the web, so no worries, haha
