easter-eggs

[neon stream]

The way you phrased it, and since you're answering my comment, makes it sound as if I'm the one being invited to create the new clue 😂

I can't tomorrow...I have another commitment, sorry 😛. I don't think I can find a flight to Sweden this quick either 😂

[sharp flame]

I'm really curious what this means tho

the CNS message was also in threes

[pure loom]

And three lots of “…” = S

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

“The S3 molecule, known as trisulfur, sulfur trimer, thiozone, or triatomic sulfur, is a cherry-red allotrope of sulfur”

“The gemstone lapis lazuli and the mineral lazurite (from which the pigment ultramarine is derived) contain S−3.”

“The S−3 radical anion was also made by reducing gaseous sulfur with Zn2+
in a matrix. The material is strongly blue-coloured when dry and changes colour to green and yellow in the presence of trace amounts of water.”

This page has lots of possible connections too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_sulfur

I tried “cyclooctasulfane” with an extra “o” - no luck

#easter-eggs message getting trolled by Rob

IEEE?

#easter-eggs message Rob "🤔" my image

Wonder what that means... getting close?

Did I use the wrong image?

Oh, another one!

#easter-eggs message

Getting trolled because we're overthinking a coffee stain

[crude topaz]

in you both used the green skull guy as base

[coarse dagger]

Yeah, I thought that made sense for the green + red = yellow... but what to use for red is eluding me.

Oh wait

Is he telling me I need to do the XOR but with THE_FINALS_Wallpaper_Red_Sports_Caracter_2880x1620?

I guess XOR is a form of add

One sec

Are those light (?) rays new from the upper right? No, they're in red

[coarse dagger]

Here's photoshop layers I've been playing with.
Anyone interested in the PSD?

Also been playing around in python a bit. But that's just because my brain is a bit more software than graphic

[coarse dagger]

ka9N, any tips on reproducing the result in which a face appeared to be visible when combining SHHH and NOOE?

[coral wing]

Yeah send it over, im only like 10 hours on photoshop compared to my extensive ae use but i want to see if the layering is different

I tried many many different composites, but only with like two to three images. I feel that psd file could open my brain to try it more

[south wyvern]

Spotted 'X-ray", 'EGGs', 'coffee-mugs', and 'incubators"... + (T) t-shirts > "ISEUL-T is a Korean clothing line".

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

[daring bluff]

ok I'm trying to think about the coffee stain situation backwards

I highly doubt they made the coffee stain based on something they already made. because that would be super difficult to pull off accurately (although I shouldnt doubt them LOL). so it makes me think they did the coffee stain first and then recreated the same pattern somewhere in their media

which could give us insight into what we are looking for

just my two cents

it's probably been thought of before but maybe you overlay the shape of the stain on some image to reveal a further clue
which would make sense with my thoughts above

[coarse dagger]

Sorry. Had to compress. Was too large for Discord before compression. I haven't done anything fancy in Photoshop, just added the individual files I thought would be relevant as layers, potentially relevant colors as homogenous layers, and broke out the color channels for the 2 matching aspect ratio T2F images (SHHH and NOOE)

But you can try any blend mode combinations you'd like with any of those layers. I couldn't find anything

Weird thought... don't know what it would be related to... But what if this is image 1 (number of fingers held up)

This is number 3

This is number 6

[south wyvern]

Green - Red - Yellow

[coarse dagger]

Would be more confirmed if 1 + 3 = 6

😅

[south wyvern]

[coarse dagger]

Anyone know if there's a 2880x1620 of THE_FINALS_Screenshot_0007 anywhere? (that last yellow image)
Best I can find is 1920x1080 in the press kit

The one in #official-art is even lower res

Huh

1:3:6 is a ratio for M10 concrete....

1 cement
3 sand
6 aggregate (pebbles/stones)

[coarse dagger]

We've definitely had cement and stone as prominent themes. Have we had sand anywhere?

Could be that we're building up to concrete. I've definitely stumbled across Musique concrète quite a bit in my research

[south wyvern]

tired. great to see you again Lulz . gm/gn hunters

[coarse dagger]

Just noticed this. The purple is throwing me off lol

Looks like morse to me _ _. / ..
TN I
?

[coarse dagger]

Thought I'd do some more research on these green squares

[fallen jasper]

[coarse dagger]

MCDXLV = 1445

Matches one of the x pixels of the second square

[coarse dagger]

Sorry, typo in there Square 1 should say x763-764

Corrected:

Thought I had seen 1444 somewhere else, but can't find it now

Here's rob trying to point us from Lion to L-Ion again

Umm... guys that is a lion

[timid solstice]

Good spot

[timid solstice]

Holy shit it’s Leo!???

[coarse dagger]

Did we already translate the morse Cravvnn spotted?

[pure loom]

This looks a bit like a language in star wars

[stable yoke]

aurabesh

i translated this from one of the ship guide books when i was 12

i was a nerd

[quaint stratus]

Theres also keys missing and what keys are their fingers on?

[timid solstice]

These things are documented in the padlet for that tier

[coral wing]

im sure it was just some layering adjustments with too much sharpen showing coloring... could be wrong but...

[coral wing]

Also may i ask what the significance was with the pictures you were testing with so i can be aligned on that? @coarse dagger i see a lot of 2880x1620 pictures here in #official-art ;-;

[coral wing]

also can we get a "full update" on the padlet ;-;

i feel as if the 3 letter words rob is putting is just to hint us more so at the "3" theme we have here. I cant seem to think he wants to drive us on ANOTHER path

why is 3 so important

found something new

white text

pls tell me this is new...

"357???"

trying to "remove pickachu yellow color"

my friend says "557678" but i dont know

[spark dagger]

357678

[neon stream]

Great find! Good job! 💪🏻

[coral wing]

i thought it was this aswell

[coral wing]

so this is a new thing then..? wanting to know if i should keep trying to clear it up more

[spark dagger]

It’s definitely this yeah, there is alot under those numbers tho

[coral wing]

yes and there is something aswell above

[spark dagger]

i think a contrasting color with more gamma should clear it a bit

[coral wing]

Could be tied into "vulcans" from star trek...

is the color of the guns in the 3 gun image

using "leave color" allows me to see that

[neon stream]

I think it is, but I might be wrong

[timid solstice]

#easter-eggs message

Not new

[neon stream]

Oh, mb

I was about to ping both you and fish 😂

[coral wing]

rip

[timid solstice]

But look at the message 2 below that

#easter-eggs message

Not sure about that part

[coral wing]

hmm

are we sure this is the code though? @timid solstice

"557478"

or "357478"

[coarse dagger]

Looks a lot like morse to meeee

[fallen jasper]

GOOD EYES

[coarse dagger]

don't forget the 3 H's in SHHH

[coral wing]

if it is this, then i strongly believe it ties into "vulcans" from star trek

they were in greek mythology

aswell

vulcan married venus, goddess of love & beauty

[coarse dagger]

We've found that before. It's on the actual skin of the weapon as well

1 sec

[coral wing]

i was hoping noone would say this ;-;

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message

it's on the regular skin

357478

[coral wing]

ahhh rip

[coarse dagger]

Don't know how @solar glade confirmed that though

[solar glade]

or you can just double check

[coarse dagger]

I guess maybe not. The dashes are different lengths

[sharp flame]

Beta footage is available

[coarse dagger]

Were you just looking in footage?

[sharp flame]

takes way too much time to scrub through tho

[coral wing]

im wondering if the "X" on it means like "LOOK AT THIS!" or its just there on the skin with no importance

also lulz did you see my message above about which photos for layering? i want to test that

i just dont know which photos to start with.... like obviously theres a "lore connection" with the ones in your PSD, is that it though

[coarse dagger]

Mostly just images from this tier. Also added some reds from previous tiers (One is called Red_Sports_Character) & the Media Kit because we didn't have many red images.

[coral wing]

gotcha gotcha so any color based ones then i guess

[coarse dagger]

For some reason I forgot Guns and Namas was in this tier, so I added that as a yellow image after I sent the compressed file

[coral wing]

no worries i added that one already

[coarse dagger]

Here's my layers now

[coral wing]

add F6CF57 for being a yellow color

rob did eye it in past when i first put that pickachu yellow... i just cant find any tie in yet

[coarse dagger]

Oh, I must have missed those eyes

[coral wing]

other than the guns being the color in "guns and namas"

[coarse dagger]

Here they are:

#easter-eggs message

[coral wing]

i was thinking maybe since we have imagery of two people holding ak and sniper, then we get image of ak, sniper, and LMG. i feel an LMG is missing or we need to look into an LMG picture more maybe?

just a random side thought i had this AM^

[coarse dagger]

Good thought

In previous tiers we had OSPUZE and ISEULT images of the AK, LMG, and SMG, and the SMG has been replaced by the sniper for THE FINALS beta skins in this tier

[coral wing]

both had changes ingame from CB1 to CB2 if i remember correctly

not sure if that has any importance^

mac got a buff and the sniper got a debuff?

was there any stats of "classes favorite by average weapon used" anywhere 🤣

oh that was worded so horribly

i would like to believe there is something on the back end of the AK aswell... i can not seem to find anything that clears it up, but i do see a change in something when i shift hue here

[coarse dagger]

Buttstock of a gun? This is the cylinder someone pointed out earlier

[sharp flame]

hehe I've realised by then ❤️

wow.. 1 month flies..

Missed this. Seems confirmed SR is SUPER ROB

Huh...

Wonder if there's an excited state where one of the inner obital electrons go to the outer shell?

[neon stream]

SR is for Saint Rob. That was just another joke I made about the meaning of SR 😂

[coarse dagger]

Dusty disagrees

[neon stream]

You can read the lore about the whole SR thing here:

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Church_Of_The_Holy_Hunters

It's how we call Rob 😛

[coarse dagger]

We made up saint rob, right?

[neon stream]

Yes

[coarse dagger]

But dusty told us Super Rob

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jade citrus]

why not both

[coarse dagger]

Trueeeee

[neon stream]

I should stop making jokes about the meaning of SR 😂

[coarse dagger]

Idk, I honestly think that could've been Dusty pointing us to Super

Maybe Super is relevant in this tier

[neon stream]

THAT could be

HES A ROBOT

[timid solstice]

WTF

[sharp flame]

damn

[wanton sundial]

This is wild

[coral wing]

Woah

[south granite]

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

[daring bluff]

holy cow

coincidence mattias is a nordic name?
and then pilhede

maybe the name means smth

[neon stream]

It's my name, I'm a clue 😅

[daring bluff]

either the name itself is a clue or Rob knows this Mattias guy personally lol

[sharp flame]

yellow.. yellow.. yellow..

[daring bluff]

EO1

i probably should have just looked here first lol

[sharp flame]

honestly I think this one is a coincidence

[daring bluff]

i dunno you can hear it in the way rob said it in the podcast and the way dusty laughed after… it makes sense

[sharp flame]

but it was a clue for last tier

[daring bluff]

the way rob pauses before saying I, I, I

[sharp flame]

it was the answer for last tier

cacoiii

[daring bluff]

oh

hmm

[sharp flame]

haha yeah just thinking if it's some crazy double clue

but yeah an older youtube vid was slightly less likely to be connected here

[daring bluff]

the channel being a swedish guy is the hmmmm part

[sharp flame]

that's very hmmm

[daring bluff]

still could totally be connected

[sharp flame]

yes yes, I wonder why the youtuber says it though

[daring bluff]

imagine this whole thing was planned 4 years ago when embark was just starting

it’s all an elaborate plot

[sharp flame]

oh totally 4 years ago

Rob says so himself I think

[daring bluff]

he says things 3 times several times in the video
he says iii once and because because because twice

[sharp flame]

ahh robo-stuttering

[daring bluff]

seems to be just a robot thing but rob would have been referencing it

[daring bluff]

but it’s interesting because he doesn’t stutter with anything else

[sharp flame]

I mean I assume they are stuttering due to the context

I have no idea what that video is about 😭

[daring bluff]

i don’t think it’s about anything

[sharp flame]

really?

[daring bluff]

i don’t think there is context yeah

it just kinda exists

[sharp flame]

interesting hypothesis

[daring bluff]

maybe because because because is a clue

who knows

[sharp flame]

SR knows 🙏

[sharp flame]

that does make sense 🫣

[daring bluff]

maybe it’s tied to the ai voices in the finals

i doubt ai was used to make this video actually

so probably not

[timid solstice]

the video is a monalougue of the routines a door is going through to open a door for the human

yet it doesnt even understand why it wont open itself

(it was because the human forgot his helmet)

[sharp flame]

🧠

[timid solstice]

It could be a double clue as it does have 2/3 connections

but only Rob knows

https://tenor.com/view/counterstrike-csgo-door-stuck-knife-lit-gif-13501025

[coral wing]

or a triple clue...

this man is all about 3's this time D:

has anyone tried every language known to earth of "three" as password yet

[coarse dagger]

Everything is connected

[coarse dagger]

It's just a fun short story about an AI saving a man's life by trying to figure out what its purpose is and why the man isn't wearing his helmet

I was wondering if the .12 second delay or the 21% oxygen referenced right before the I, I, I were clues. Don't know

And it's certainly possible this was a clue for last tier no one stumbled across.

Or it's coincidence. Who knows? Only the eyes can tell

[neon stream]

I was trying to connect Lion with Yellow, and I found this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_Leonis

That star, from the constellation Leo, is known as "the Twelfth Star of Xuanyuan"

And "Xuanyuan is the name of the Yellow Emperor"

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

Also... could the "alpha" and "beta" be a way of saying "alphabet"? 🤔

[neon stream]

"delta omega zeta epsilon" could be "4 800 7 5"

(https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_numerals)

[timid solstice]

https://www.color-hex.com/color/480075

[sharp flame]

probably already mentioned but yeah the colours in this image are purple/blue which are directly complimentary to yellow

(yes, pretty clever right... ._.)

now we just need to be clever enough to figure out this password..

[proud minnow]

[sharp flame]

I didn't even see that 😭

Breaking Bad reference?!

[hidden nacelle]

yellow suit???

OMG

meth in the finals?

[neon stream]

It would've been fun if the answer was "oro" ("gold" in Spanish), since it's a palindrome and it fits in a few ways 😂

What if the primary clue is "yellowstone", and not "yellow"? 🤔

[sharp flame]

that would explain the "lapis" (stone) clue in image 1

[pure loom]

Pyrite could be a way to link gold, Yellowstone and Sulfur paths: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrite

Also the “Fe” from feline (lion)

Pyrite is a sulfide mineral (often found in quartz veins that are also gold-bearing). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfide_mineral

Another sulfide is stibnite: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stibnite

One of its uses was eye makeup. “It was used to darken the brows and lashes, or to draw a line around the perimeter of the eye.” This would fit with the female character in the first image - her eye makeup does look accentuated.

Also used in flash-bangs by the looks

Whoa: “A newer commercial use for pyrite is as the cathode material in Energizer brand non-rechargeable lithium metal batteries.”

“In 2021, a natural pyrite stone has been crushed and pre-treated followed by liquid-phase exfoliation into two-dimensional nanosheets, which has shown capacities of 1200 mAh/g as an anode in lithium-ion batteries.”

[pure loom]

Just had a thought - the red, yellow and green colours potentially match charging states for batteries.

[proud minnow]

Yes they do . . .

[sharp flame]

Also... Dr. Who again

I've seen Dr. Who / The Who quite a bit in my research

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3E

3Ε (Tria Epsilon), an abbreviation for the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-3_process

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E3_(disambiguation)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_series_of_preferred_numbers#E3

[coarse dagger]

Think this is a likely connection. Perhaps the resistors values/colors as well. 1 sec

[coarse dagger]

https://www.electronicsplanet.ch/en/resistor/e3-series.php

[coarse dagger]

Nevermind Struggling to reconcile that link with the table in the wiki page:

Each resistor can have multiple color combinations depending on the number of bands. Lots of permutations to try to find EE paterns with...

https://www.electronicsplanet.ch/en/electronics/resistor-color-code/resistor-color-code.php

For the E3 series, r is 2.154. This results in values between two powers of ten: 2.15 and 4.64. These are rounded to 2.2 and 4.7, thus defining the E3 series. Because the number of rings in the resistor color code is limited and resistors usually do not have to be dimensioned so exactly, the resistor values are rounded to two or three digits. Depending on the resistor color code, 4 or more rings are printed on the resistor:

[coarse dagger]

IEC 60063 defines the E3 series

IEC 60063 release history:
IEC 63:1952 (aka IEC 60063:1952), first edition, published 1952-01-01.
IEC 63:1963 (aka IEC 60063:1963), second edition, published 1963-01-01.
IEC 63:1967/AMD1:1967 (aka IEC 60063:1967/AMD1:1967), first amendment of second edition, published 1967.
IEC 63:1977/AMD2:1977 (aka IEC 60063:1977/AMD2:1977), second amendment of second edition, published 1977.
IEC 60063:2015, third edition, published 2015-03-27.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/Resistor_Color_Code.svg/440px-Resistor_Color_Code.svg.png

A Green-Red-Yellow resistor (disregarding tolerance) would be
Green - 5 digit
Red - 2 digit
Yellow- 4 zeros

520,000ohms

Wait, do I remember AWS being capitalized letters in one of Rob's comments?

Damn, nope. It was AES

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code#Postage_stamp_capacitors_and_war_standard_coding

Postage stamp capacitors had 3 colors for the SigFigs:
Green-Red-Yellow is again 524
If I assume the Decimal Multiplier is Gold that would be 0.1
524*0.1 = 52.4

I guess same is true w/ conventional resistors & capictors

[timid solstice]

really seems connected, but no eyes both times now
#easter-eggs message

[pure loom]

Yeah, I think we should focus on 👀 'd paths and just accept that it's not pyrite

The battery path seems good though

[timid solstice]

for sure

[pure loom]

Have to assume this is a close equivalent to 👀 (for the moment at least)

[timid solstice]

agreed

many battery clues now

btw thanks Lulz for the 👀 on padlet

[coarse dagger]

Agreed we should focus on the eyed paths, but Rob also works in mysterious ways...
He pointed to Amiga in this comment #easter-eggs message
after I did a big info dump that connected me to Amiga.

He didn't eye any of my posts, but his comment seemed to be affirmation of my research

[timid solstice]

if people didnt know, scoll down, they are listed across

Normally, the namatama images are closest to the answer

we should focus on that

then connect the eyed posts

[pure loom]

I think a lot of the old PC ones are that Rob has an affection for old computers, so they get various nods - for instance the ARC Raiders logo has nods to Spectrum and Atari. That doesn't mean they can't be clues, but they may just be "nods"

[timid solstice]

have we talked about solar panels or solar charging

[pure loom]

I don't think so

[timid solstice]

also any other clues from this?

what could the key clues be for this tier?

Yellow / Yellowstone / Sulfur / Yolk
Li ion Batteries / Lion
Binary Stars / Α α Β β
3's / eee
Latin

[pure loom]

Yolk is

[coarse dagger]

Reminds me of this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WGKz2sUa0w

LEDs and Solar Panels are basically the same thing, just inverse uses of diodes

[neon stream]

Lion? 🤔

[timid solstice]

Lion was - > Li ion battery right?

[neon stream]

Oh, maybe 😅

[pure loom]

probably, although it could be the other way around

[neon stream]

Same with yellow and yellowstone 😅

[pure loom]

but I think more likely that Lion points to Li ion

[neon stream]

That lapis clue on the first image is...interesting

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message
Lets not forget 06703438025732445 seems to be a clue coming off L-Ion.

[coarse dagger]

Hmm... Red + yellow = green in that image... A bit different than the Red + Green = Yellow that Rob eyed previously though

If you combine the partially charged bars to make the fully charged one

[pure loom]

No orange yet

Maybe that will be the next image

[coarse dagger]

Just to clarify, I meant 1 bar (red) + 3 bars (yellow) = 4 bars (green)
If that's related orange isn't necessarily needed.

[pure loom]

I wish I could search for emojis haha

The name "Triple E" is derived from the class's three design principles: "Economy of scale, Energy efficiency, and Environmental impact improvement".

[timid solstice]

had to do a incognito search incase I was getting browser bias

the ship is still a high result

[hidden nacelle]

Economy of scale, Energy efficiency, and Environmental impact improvement, sounds like the finals

[coarse dagger]

They were built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME)

Four letter word starting with D and ending with E makes me think of DOZE... maybe a different interpretation of the symbols somehow?

[timid solstice]

it could be pointing to this more, the motto fish found that rob had mentioned before

There's a word on the side of the M60 in 'Guns And Namas' image which I don't think has been spotted before (it's not in the padlet).
Looks like "Kinnhio" or something close to that

Or maybe KINSHIO

or maybe KINSHIP

hmmm...

[coarse dagger]

Kinship makes sense, but I don't see a P

[pure loom]

yeah, the end one looks more like an "o"

unless the bottom part of the P is very faint or missing

[coarse dagger]

The lighting around the yellow of the M60 is interesting too.

Green on the bottoms, red on the top

Not there on the other guns

[crude topaz]

barrel was done before right?

[coarse dagger]

Yes

Kikshio?

[pure loom]

Annoyingly hard to read

[pure loom]

This is good! The shape of that last letter does look like a "p" with the lower part missing.

or a squashed "o"

[crude topaz]

yeah and third is either k or n

[pure loom]

I agree

(or slight change it is a lowercase "h")

The word looks handwritten

I think it's Kinship too and spot this one because Mabu is right next to it...

Under 'Habitations' section... "Mount Mabu belongs to a kinship network in which Mabu is the oldest brother, Mount Muriba is the youngest brother and River Mugue is the middle sister"... > LMG has bipod/mount.

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

Then I see 'kikalio' > "Kikalio cha Dhahabu" > Golden Stool... talking about kings thrones, Ashanti people, green/yellow flag and war etc. etc. AND the stool is literally in Children's Museum of Indianapolis (46204)...

still looking for the third word.. we have apis > lapis

[coarse dagger]

Taraxacum officinale, the dandelion or common dandelion, is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae

[sharp flame]

dandelions are yellow ☝️

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damned_yellow_composite also this random page

[coarse dagger]

That's great

The Latin specific epithet officinale refers to the Latin word for 'medicinal' or 'of the apothecaries'.

T. officinale has many English common names (some of which are no longer in use), including blowball, lion's-tooth, cankerwort, milk-witch, yellow-gowan, Irish daisy, monks-head, priest's-crown and puff-ball; other common names include, faceclock, pee-a-bed, wet-a-bed, swine's snout, white endive, and wild endive.

The common name dandelion comes from the French dent de lion, or "lion's tooth", in reference to the plant's jagged-edged leaves. "Pee-a-bed" and "wet-a-bed" reflect the modern French term for the plant, pissenlit. This name and all those that imply ramped-up urine production refer to T. officinale's well-known diuretic properties.

So many clues pointing to Angola

[sharp flame]

Dande, in Angola

[coarse dagger]

Was this just tertiary/quaternary clues to get us to dandelion?

[sharp flame]

Wait, are there any more apart from the triplet of provinces?

[pure loom]

Caxito, Mabubas, Barra do Dande, Kikabo

[sharp flame]

how'd you get the 3rd one?

[pure loom]

Barra do Dande?

[sharp flame]

yep

[pure loom]

Dande...

dandelion...

[sharp flame]

that's the name of the province that contains all 4 of them though

Dande

Barra do Dande is the 'capital'

[pure loom]

that's ok, all I'm saying is that there are 4 clues pointing to Angola (or something to do with it)

[sharp flame]

gotcha

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

[south wyvern]

[sharp flame]

I personally believe it's the other way around, and it's the Lion clues and Dande clues in the same image which point to then Dandelion

[pure loom]

but the dandelion was an easy spot

that seems unlikely to me

[sharp flame]

yeah that's what confuses me

[pure loom]

I think we should explore Angola for a bit at least and see if anything pops up

[sharp flame]

for sure

it has some yellow on the flag

[pure loom]

"Angola has been inhabited since the Paleolithic Age." great, that'll narrow it down...

[sharp flame]

how about the Byz-

[timid solstice]

So the other half was Felis and exotic for lion?

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/schiaffo-smack-hit-whack-family-guy-gif-10464242

[coarse dagger]

Damn I was hoping those were all off the Dande river... Kikabo isn't

[sharp flame]

no exotic

that was Caxito

[coarse dagger]

Does Kikabo point to Dande?

[timid solstice]

Ah exotic was the anagram ?

Ok

[pure loom]

I don't think we can assume what points to what - we just know we now have a region to examine and see if any leads spring from that

[timid solstice]

Do the names on the clue line up on the map?

[sharp flame]

I mean in this case we can 🤣

since Kikabo was the clue

[timid solstice]

Also, Mabubus..
bus was hidden

[coarse dagger]

Right, I'm just saying Kikabo doesn't seem to have a direct relation to the Dande river, so that would suggest it can't be pointing us to dandelion... Unless I'm overlooking something

[timid solstice]

Now we know it’s that name, could ‘ bus ’ be needed

[south wyvern]

so is bus common color, yellow.

[coarse dagger]

Quicabo or Kikabo is a town and commune in the municipality of Dande
Nevermind

[sharp flame]

guys I feel like I shoulda laid out my findings a bit more readably 😭

[pure loom]

sometimes clues won't point directly - like it could all point to Angola and then we find something about the region that takes us further, like a famous egg painter or something weird.

All we know is we have a bunch of clues that all relate to Angola and some are in the same region - that's our starting point on this path

Could be Angolan lions for instance

A weird connection to a clue from ages ago here, but 871 was a Russian submarine named "Alrosa" and Alrosa is a group of russian diamond mining companies which also operate in Angola https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_submarine_B-871 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alrosa

(I think this is highly unlikely, but thought I'd just note it in case)

[coarse dagger]

Sorry I linked to the wrong clade:

This could be important: "The Dande is a river in northern Angola with a source in the Crystal Mountains." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Mountains_(Africa)

[coarse dagger]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_municipalities_of_Angola
So Dande is in Caxito is in Bengo is in Angola.
Kissama (Quiçama) and Mumbondo are in Bengo, but outside of Caxito.
Bocoio and Camacuio are in provinces further south than Bengo.
Alto Zambeze is on the eastern side of Angola, well away from Bengo.
Etosha and Kunene are both in Nambia; the country to the south of Angola.

So I would say that none of these lion conservation units are in Dande... but perhaps the Kissama-Mumbondo unit covers lions that may or may not be in/near Dande

[coarse dagger]

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

Basically we found that Cexito was actually Caxito (we read it wrong)

[pure loom]

After Rob confirmed Kikabo

[sharp flame]

and that those were 3 provinces in the region of Dande

and since in the other part of the same image we had the Mammalia Ferae --> Lion clue

and also the Dandelion clue,

we now have the 3 Dande clues, 3 Lion clues

and 1 hidden DandeLion

I only just realised that that lion clue came in 3

Mammalia
Ferae
Felis

[pure loom]

How did we get from Mammalia Ferae to lion?

[sharp flame]

Mammalia Ferae Felis

which narrows it down to a very few species

then the Dandelion

[pure loom]

was that the whole clue or did Rob confirm?

I can't recall

Yesss! Those ones! I love em!

[neon stream]

Hmmm lots of triplets in these messages 🤔

[proud minnow]

OK here it is, the original NamaTama sketches (anything for you Dede)... ._.

[neon stream]

👀👀👀👀

Wait? how is it that you don't like them?????? @proud minnow

or is that a clue? 🤔

They look amazing!

Hmmm there's something at the bottom

Like a number

313.82.444.84.576.110.112.264.231.292.444.232.313.82.444.84.576.110.112.264.231.292.444.232.313.82.444.84.576.110.112.264.231.292.444.232

I think that's it

It seems to be "313.82.444.84.576.110.112.264.231.292.444.232" 3 times 🤔

[spring sentinel]

OM*G. I'm so angry at myself right now. I have found this town like a month ago one late night, but couldn't connect it. So I didn't even bother to send it in. 😭

[spring sentinel]

Did we have any clues regarding Úcua? It's the only one with no reference imo.

[neon stream]

LayerName="NamaTama concept v0.1" photoshop:LayerText="exclusively for the best ee-hunters in the universe... from embark with love.!"

[spark dagger]

[neon stream]

I'm trying to decipher this, with no luck 😂

[pure loom]

He didn’t say he doesn’t like them, just that they are old old old. They might have even been created before we started trying to solve this tier.

[neon stream]

But Dusty said "...I think they are cutee even if you don't!"

Hmmm two Es in "cute" 🤔

[sharp flame]

Ooooh cool new image!

[pure loom]

I mean, I can see why he needed the egg equation #conehead

https://tenor.com/view/correct-conehead-coneheads-dan-aykroyd-gif-15415648968319312240

[neon stream]

We need that "GhosTama"

Or whatever that last one is 😂

[spring sentinel]

ĹRƼTɀnpĈçĤƼè in unicode 🤯

[spring sentinel]

It doesn't make any sense

[neon stream]

Maybe some weird way of representing coordinates? 🤔

[fallen jasper]

THATS ADORABLE

[proud minnow]

These were made about 4 years ago… ._.

[fallen jasper]

nama is as adorable when she was first born

[neon stream]

Wow! That was quite early in the development of THE FINALS! I figured things like that were done later 🤔

[neon stream]

Also, 👀

[timid solstice]

for context

[timid solstice]

yep repeated

313.82.444.84.576.110.112.264.231.292.444.232.
313.82.444.84.576.110.112.264.231.292.444.232.
313.82.444.84.576.110.112.264.231.292.444.232

It has 12 character seperators

my first thought was;
hello, world

especially with the universe comment

"exclusively for the best ee-hunters** in the universe**... from embark with love.!"

Maybe some weird way of representing coordinates?
remember proxima centuri b exoplanet.. what if this is saying look at other planets/worlds in the universe...
hello, world

[pure loom]

Real history!

Has anyone looked for anything else hidden in the NamaTama concepts?

We should probably give them the usual examinations

[pure loom]

How about if each pair of numbers were plotted on an equal scale graph as points? Maybe they make a shape?

So, x=313,y=82 and so on

[sharp flame]

triple E triple A, maybe we need to repeat a letter 3 times in the password..?

also maybe the v0.1 means something?

3 drops here.. maybe

anyways
313 82 444 84 576 110 112 264 231 292 444 232
313 82 444 84 576 110 112 264 231 292 444 232
313 82 444 84 576 110 112 264 231 292 444 232

[timid solstice]

I tried adding them, and turning to lat long
7 10 12 12 18 11, 4 12 6 13 12 7
7.1012121811,4.12613127

[sharp flame]

most of them are triplets except for 82 and 84

[[313, 82], [444, 84], [576, 110], [112, 264], [231, 292], [444, 232]] maybe we pair them like this?

[timid solstice]

[hidden nacelle]

that graph looks like a S

[neon stream]

Good spot! I wonder if Rob added those later to the original concept 🤔

I don't know where to draw the line on "this was here" and "this is Rob giving us a clue" 😭

Also, 3 lines on the 5th and 7th Nama 😅

[neon stream]

I think we can trust them that it was done 4 years ago, otherwise they would've share it in #official-art 🤔

[coarse dagger]

What message were you replying to? It says "Message could not be loaded" for me

[coarse dagger]

But he probably added the coordinates recently

[spring sentinel]

..."So Dande is in Caxito is in Bengo is in Angola."...

[coarse dagger]

Have we heard Dusty referred to as Dede before?

[hidden nacelle]

i think so yes

[fallen jasper]

I gotta start unpinning messages in here

We hit the 50 message cap

[fallen jasper]

Think the first time was during his MTM Episode

[coarse dagger]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_UZ224
Astronomical object

[proud minnow]

nahh, that was actually added 2021-03-17… ._.

[proud minnow]

but OK that is pretty recent I guess…

[pure loom]

Could be right, but no 👀 from Rob on your post

[spring sentinel]

How do you feel about a book cypher? We just need to find an ISBN, then find the book, then count the words till 444 and see if anything makes sense. If not, repeate for an other book. Until... we run out of books.. like on the whole world. At least one of them will be a red herring.

[pure loom]

Hello from NZ to all the Italian members 👋

The S, 3 times, and the O's 3 times still makes me think this might be relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_trioxide

[neon stream]

Yeah, I meant if the base image was done 4 years ago 😛

[sharp flame]

depends on your frame of reference...

could they be stellar coords, or something similar?

maybe coords of a constellation

or just Earth coords..

[pure loom]

Bit of a random path here, but if it is an S then that combined with the SHHH green reminds me of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptonite

"There are other varieties of kryptonite, such as red and gold kryptonite, which have different but still generally negative effects."

[inland bloom]

i love it

[tepid venture]

is this the murder of Nama Tama

[coral wing]

Many multiples of 14 in this image ;-;

Not sure it has any resemblance but..

[neon stream]

@south wyvern 😂

[coarse dagger]

So many coordinate systems, surely he's nudged us towards one?

[loud patrol]

so any easter eggs about the release of the finals?

[pure loom]

Not that we know of, so far.

[loud patrol]

pretty sadge

More yellow...

[pure loom]

The closest time I can come up with, given the timezones etc leads to this message: #easter-eggs message

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

[pure loom]

Oh, I’ve just realised this was a reply 😂😂

I was wondering why no one was responding to Rob’s message

[pure loom]

So, does KN stand for kryptonite?

[sharp flame]

Don't think so at the moment, I think it's a lore thing as much as CNS is

Since it seems the individual KN is signing off on the message

But the initials are pretty uncanny lining up like that

[timid solstice]

Thats what I was thinking, I couldnt find what the chemical symbol would be though

[timid solstice]

wrong month too 🤣

or is it

[pure loom]

A Swede talking to a kiwi in American.

https://tenor.com/view/atg-capa-studiocapa-stucapa-why-gif-24944271

(Perfect gif 😂)

[proud minnow]

But the message above did, you translated it to text, but what does it mean…?

[sharp flame]

I thought I found a few things with those letters..

but I might have to start looking at that again 😭

Thought I had it with this one..

Another possibility is looking at it like
Distant --> Far
ASADISTANT
Asafar?

And we also had the one video: The Sun as a distant star

[pure loom]

This makes it way more likely I think - plus an image is a pretty weighty thing to point to

[sharp flame]

not to mention Rob has the exact Month, Day, and Minute 🤣

now the real question is, what about the image is relevant to us now?

Apart from it being yellow at least

[jade citrus]

what tier was that image part of?

[pure loom]

Or is it the battery-charge-orange we've been waiting for?

[sharp flame]

D iirc

very shaky on the timeline here so I'm probably wrong

all I know is it was Beta 2 reveal so way before this tier

but we know Rob plans everything ahead..

but from the sheer amount of Yellow at this point I think Yellow might be the answer

either that or the 3s, maybe the answer has a 3 in it, or something repeated 3 times?

[timid solstice]

It’s in the pins

[sharp flame]

Another thing to think about is it perhaps being a palindrome?

[jade citrus]

yellowolley

[pure loom]

It wasn't part of a tier

[timid solstice]

#easter-eggs message

Vacation images

[pure loom]

maybe we didn't look closely enough at it

[sharp flame]

Usually those images had clues 'leading' up to tiers

such as the OSPUZE advert

[pure loom]

"pre-tier"

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-complicated-coffeexgaming-its-so-difficult-this-is-so-hard-this-is-not-easy-gif-24982186

[sharp flame]

did we find anything apart from ASADISTANT in that image?

[timid solstice]

Nope

[sharp flame]

Rob still asking us what it means tho

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-take-a-closer-look-stefanie-langer-nitro-nights-overtake-lets-look-more-closely-gif-22477458

[sharp flame]

we should keep searching up ASADISTANT

[timid solstice]

good it is 100% confirmed

[pure loom]

So, I've filed those images as pre-Tier 1E

[timid solstice]

yep they were posted whilst on EE vacation, werent supposed to be any thing but there was after all

…so if you are bored and can’t really wait until Monday… there is one diamond and a primary clue out there, waiting to be found…
#easter-eggs message

[jade citrus]

brain hurt

i still dont know how the one boat clue fits in with everything

from the anniversary image

[timid solstice]

we thought its because of the Maersk family motto

not confirmed as thats the meaning though

[jade citrus]

maybe it points to triples again?

[timid solstice]

no eyes for that

#easter-eggs message

seemed really good though
