easter-eggs

[hasty anvil]

am i high

[tribal raft]

Mhh

[balmy fog]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Never mind

[hasty anvil]

bro forget that whole conversation hahaha

[balmy fog]

Erase that out of your hear

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[tribal raft]

Sooo

No news?

[coarse dagger]

The best way to stay informed with news is to read the channel.

[vapid jewel]

This channel is

The only good channel

[jagged ore]

I mean if we go back to the guessing game we did here and try any of the letters from "GOLD". Then D might also fit as first letter with 01000100

O and L seem kinda unlikely there

We still have no idea which number it's supposed to be though lol

[balmy fog]

I wasnt talking binary tho

But yeah

bunch of possibilities

[bitter mauve]

morning/everning lads

[vapid jewel]

What time is evening? (hmm yess the password is probably gold)

[bitter mauve]

just skim through the newer messages, so basically this #easter-eggs message

[vapid jewel]

That doesn’t answer my question (about the Commodore 64)

[bitter mauve]

was just saying hi I don't know your timezone so

[vapid jewel]

But like what time would be evening (in terms of eta Cassiopeia)

[bitter mauve]

idk 6pm ish I guess

[vapid jewel]

Alright so Gpm or Fpm?

Easter egg joke

[bitter mauve]

ah

[pure loom]

I tried:
G=6
O=0
L=1
D=0
E=3
G=6
G=6

no luck

[sonic mantle]

Maybe try it in Leet?

[pure loom]

Yeah, that is, technically, one of the leet options

D can = 0

L can = 1

[sonic mantle]

Oh yeah you’re right

[pure loom]

I tried it just as a numbered alphabet with G=6 indicating the shift (because F is usually 6), so it would be 614113466. No luck.

[hasty anvil]

Looks close to 6000666

[pure loom]

true

[mint zealot]

[undone socket]

i ran the whole text string of the binary thru a translator and got 4‚ ”A(

4 = A?

so much info to digest

[vapid jewel]

i think that's just missing characters

[undone socket]

yeah

[balmy fog]

Good night hunters

Tomorrow is an other day

[undone socket]

ninii

[raw dock]

What’s the latest in here?

[balmy fog]

#easter-eggs message

[silent cosmos]

QR Code xD?

love

[timid solstice]

I might make a password doc again to keep track of ideas

[vivid wind]

I just checked pinned message about new map teaser and I touched sacturation, idk it's helpful

[sharp flame]

thanks so much!

[sharp flame]

Could you please let me know the saturation/settings?

so I can apply it to my own thing

[violet blaze]

:0

😄

[vivid wind]

sry that was hue, not a sacturation

[vivid wind]

not accurate, I just changed with just my eyes lmao

[sharp flame]

Okay thanks! Is that all you changed?

[bitter mauve]

The pixels have come to haunt us again 💀

[timid solstice]

Did you find a piece for the top left?

#easter-eggs message

Because these are the frames we found

And the top left was missing

[quaint gulch]

Everytime i come to this chat i feel zooted out of my mind

[sharp flame]

New 📌 ?

[vivid wind]

Yes, just changed hue

[sharp flame]

got it, thanks!

[vivid wind]

Yeh I tried but didn't found it

[balmy fog]

Good morning hunters

Ready to finally solve this stupid thing

[dull onyx]

I can finally talk in here woo

So i had a theory a while ago, i got someone to post, i wanna expand on it a little

Before i do have we cracked the password for https://www.reachthefinals.com/t1-f-1

[hasty anvil]

nope not yet

[dull onyx]

Right so if you take the '-' in the link as a space it is t1 f 1 and when you type that in on google its a ferrari f1 car, and there is also a famous monaco f1 street cercuit

So i was wondering like if anyone has won a Monaco race in that car or something

[balmy fog]

t1 f 1 → don't get me nothing F1 related

The only reason it does is because of "f 1"

[dull onyx]

Try with the dashes sorry

[balmy fog]

I mean

[dull onyx]

Ferrari 412 t1

It would make sense cos monaco is basically funded off of the f1 race

Its famous for it, one of the moat famous race tracks

[jagged ore]

I looked a bit more into binary ascii table to figure out if we can eliminate more possibilities

upper case chars:     0100 0001 - 0101 1010
lower case chars:    0110 0001 - 0111 1010
numbers:         0011 0000 - 0011 1001
control chars:        0000 0000 - 0001 1111


first bit = standard ASCII or extended ASCII
second bit = if 1 it is a character or @[\]^_`{|}~

So we can basically eliminate all control chars because those wouldn't help us since they are not visible. Additionally we can eliminate extended ASCII since they are just special characters. This isn't anything new but maybe we can eliminate more with how certain we are for specific bits

[dull onyx]

Is there any of them we know for certain that is correct?

[balmy fog]

Wym?

So far we kinda know the password is egg and/or gold related

It's been confirmed by Rob

[dull onyx]

I assume you're translating it to letters and words yeah?

Golden goose?

First thing that came to mind

Theres a mythical goose that lays golden eggs

[jagged ore]

The ascii stuff is related to the work we have done here. It is very unclear and mostly guessing yet

[balmy fog]

Ohh!

Pretty sure its wrong tho

At this point I dont understand how to solve it

To be honest

[dull onyx]

I kinda do, i did a bit at school years ago

[jagged ore]

yeah but maybe we can minimize the options left

[balmy fog]

solve this then @dull onyx

[dull onyx]

By a bit, i literally mean only a bit lol

It looks like a maths equation

[balmy fog]

Pieces of a puzzle we need to assemble

Janst want me to stream?

[jagged ore]

Do you still have the photoshop file for this? Maybe I can try playing around with it more

[balmy fog]

Yeah I do

but I just had an idea

[dull onyx]

WAIT

I think ita a qr code

[balmy fog]

No

[dull onyx]

Maybe we need to overlay them in a certain way

[balmy fog]

Probably

So far we think i'ts 0's and 1's

[dull onyx]

Thats all a qr code is

1s and 0s

Black is 1 white is 0

[jagged ore]

@dull onyx maybe take a look at the padlet here to see where we are at right now
https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t2abc-8cpusy9qx4ectl24

[balmy fog]

Please 😄

[jagged ore]

maybe there should be a pin with the link again because I think the last few pinned messages are still with the old padlet

[balmy fog]

from upclose it doesnt fit

from far it does

[jagged ore]

yeah it's basically the holes of the 0 that make it look right I guess

[balmy fog]

might be for the sleep but I think it<s working

instead of playing up close

[jagged ore]

but no idea what we are supposed to do with the blocks on the left. They don't look like 0 or 1 to me

but yeah that might be the play

[balmy fog]

at that point

you can guess it

its either a 0 or a 1

can try both

Important to notice

Some are italics

[dull onyx]

Have we tried braille?

[balmy fog]

some are normal

I'll send you my stream in DM you can watch Beaaaar

[dull onyx]

Im out atm i cant sorry

[jagged ore]

Actually looking at the tiny preview in discord it might actually look like a 0 there. So yeah we can try that

[balmy fog]

Watch the stream

I'll show you

[jagged ore]

alright I'm watching

@balmy fog so you think not all of them are italic?

I don't think we thought about that yet yesterday

looks like we at least have a bottom and top piece to 000 and to 1110 already

[dull onyx]

I still think its a qr code what about an rMQR code?

[fallen jasper]

pls dont send psd, save as jpg, gif, or png as those formats discord can open and show for us!

[balmy fog]

Ok hold up

Not ready yet

Im solving this today

I found a way to pixel down

[sonic mantle]

That’s awesome!

[turbid tinsel]

Idea for you here, Your trying to match 0's and 1's for every weird pixel formation. Have you thought of the possibility yet of trying to puzzle piece the actual formations on top of each other to reduce the amount of actual 0's and 1's and possible see if there are better fits for everything?

if that makes sense

[balmy fog]

Yeah that was my first idea

[turbid tinsel]

probably easier said than done

[dull onyx]

Maybe if you layer them in a certain way it will say sone sentence?

I still think its a qr or an rMQR code tho

[balmy fog]

Do it 😉

[dull onyx]

I have no way to do it properly

My pc is AWFUL

So im on ps5

[jagged ore]

Okay so I wrote a quick python script to find all characters that contain a certain segment at any location. Maybe this is useful for anyone

def find_characters(segment):
    result = []
    for i in range(128):
        binary_representation = format(i, '08b')
        if segment in binary_representation:
            result.append((binary_representation, chr(i)))
    return result

def print_table(result):
    print("+------------+-------+")
    print("| Binary     | Char  |")
    print("+------------+-------+")
    for binary, char in result:
        print(f"| {binary.ljust(10)} | {char.ljust(5)} |")
    print("+------------+-------+")

segment_to_find = "100101"
result = find_characters(segment_to_find)
print_table(result)

I still think we need to know slightly longer segments first though to make this useful

but maybe we can use this to sort which byte a specific segment might belong to

For example in the image that @balmy fog made today, there was a segment "00011" which only lead to these possible characters

| Binary     | Char  |
+------------+-------+
| 00100011   | #     |
| 01000011   | C     |
| 01000110   | F     |
| 01000111   | G     |
| 01100011   | c     |
+------------+-------+``` excluding the control characters which are invisible

Now idk how certain we are about this segment but basically only having C, F and G does look kind of suspicious 👀

[river flame]

notes?

[jagged ore]

wym?

[hasty anvil]

looks very useful nice

[river flame]

musical notes

[jagged ore]

ah yeah

[hasty anvil]

(#) can also be used as F# (F flat) or for colour codes

[jagged ore]

The only problem is that we don't know how long the whole binary thing might be in total. Based from the long thin segment it looks like 3 bytes

Actually like this is skips the control characters:

def find_characters(segment):
    result = []
    for i in range(32, 128):
        binary_representation = format(i, '08b')
        if segment in binary_representation:
            result.append((binary_representation, chr(i)))
    return result

def print_table(result):
    print("+------------+-------+")
    print("| Binary     | Char  |")
    print("+------------+-------+")
    for binary, char in result:
        print(f"| {binary.ljust(10)} | {char.ljust(5)} |")
    print("+------------+-------+")

segment_to_find = "00011"
result = find_characters(segment_to_find)
print_table(result)```

[hidden nacelle]

are we even allowed to write scripts...

[timid solstice]

We use decoders so I think it’s fine

[vapid jewel]

I don’t see a problem with it

[balmy fog]

I DID IT

AHHHHHHHHHH

[quasi jay]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhghg

[mortal marsh]

now we just have to figure out what that means

Good job though, for REAL

[balmy fog]

https://www.reddit.com/r/fightsticks/comments/16885xq/modded_ob2_looks_much_nicer/

OB2 seems like a old school controller for fighting games

Mk probably is Mouse and Keyboard

[turbid tinsel]

or mortal kombat

[mortal marsh]

MK could be mortal kombat

[balmy fog]

or mortal kombat

damn right boys

[mortal marsh]

or mortal kombat 2

[turbid tinsel]

An unofficial C64 conversion of Mortal Kombat 2 was created by Hungarian crew Hermit Software in 1998. The game features properly pixeled graphics that work well within the graphical limitations of the C64.

[timid solstice]

Open beta 2 make 2 player

[balmy fog]

this is an Obsidian 2

[quasi jay]

Mk.2 player? Mortal Kombat 2 player?

[mortal marsh]

That's what I'm thinking

[turbid tinsel]

id not get to hyper focused into mortal kombat until it gets eyes though but those orange pixels kinda looks like what were in the image.

[balmy fog]

Right I could've made an error, if someone actually wants to double check the PSD

but, I know thats how @proud minnow did it

then gave us half of it

then, by matching the pixel intensity, you just had to basically use either 0 or 1 and see wich fits the best in terms of pixels

[jagged ore]

Let's goo

[sonic mantle]

[mortal marsh]

0B2-Mk+2player

for easy copy/paste

[thorn turret]

is this what insanity looks like

[mortal marsh]

[quaint wing]

My man looked at pixels for 17 hours to do that. What a champ

[mortal marsh]

I have like 30 some tabs open following so many rabbit holes I feel like

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-day-gif-18564553

[coarse dagger]

Was Rob telling us to do something in OB2... Are we too late?

@balmy fog outstanding work!

[mortal marsh]

https://freematics.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=71

OB-II Emulator MK2

[mortal marsh]

what do you mean something in ob2?

[quaint wing]

Open beta 2

[mortal marsh]

I haven't seen anything regarding a second open beta

[quaint wing]

We're all fried and throwing shit at a wall. Lol

[coarse dagger]

Facepalm. I was conflating CB2 and OB1

[mortal marsh]

Oh lulz (like your name lmao)

[balmy fog]

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.1.0?topic=wsc-0b2 this is also a rabbit hole

[coarse dagger]

Hmm, Rob has eyed "keyboard" twice in the past

[balmy fog]

could 0B2 be referred to the controller I've sent?

[quaint wing]

Keyboard inputs mapped to the ob2?

[balmy fog]

and MK actually being MortalKombat

[mortal marsh]

Might be on to something with that

[balmy fog]

My initial toughts was : OB2 (Joystick controller), Mouse and Keyboard and 2 players

SplitScreens basically

but again, where does that lead us

[mortal marsh]

https://gearspace.com/board/electronic-music-instruments-and-electronic-music-production/1216484-elektron-overbridge-2-a-17.html music/keyboard related

[balmy fog]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygnus_OB2

oh oh

rabbit hole

[willow forge]

probably irrelevant but theres only 2 chords that contain C# f# and G#. C#sus4 and F#sus2

[hasty anvil]

just to remind, C6 isnt confirmed just a theory

F6 and G6 are

[mortal marsh]

I think we're on to something with the OB2 controller, mortal kombat + 2 player or Mortal Kombat 2 player

[balmy fog]

weren't swan known to deliver ''babies'' or ''eggs?''

[river flame]

storks

[willow forge]

oh god here we go with the stars again

[balmy fog]

rabbit hole

[willow forge]

trust me i went down that rabbit hole. informative but not fun

[mortal marsh]

Mortal Kombat 1 just had a global open beta featuring 2 player

[balmy fog]

Dumb its OB2

[mortal marsh]

Mortal Kombat Gold was released 09/09/1999 🤔

[remote wasp]

Embarks is an Easter egg for trees bc trees have an outer layer of bark, thy is to say embark is an outlier in the gaming industry. Meaning they are innovators who are here to bring a revolution to the standard gaming model. Bringing forth a new gaming renaissance.

[fallen jasper]

yeah, cuz this channel is for easter egg hunting pls

only

[faint rivet]

Well if the SHOWCASE is right, they had one in the betas in the tutorial/practice mode. I guess there was something there after all..? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[river flame]

Are we stuck now?

[mortal marsh]

[balmy fog]

No

Showcase is me

I made it

[mortal marsh]

we're currently trying to figure out what "0b2-mk+2player" means

[balmy fog]

this wasnt in the picture

[faint rivet]

@balmy fog ohh

[mortal marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-day-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-crazy-pepe-silvia-gif-27373442

[coarse dagger]

Showcase was just an example @balmy fog made for showing us how Rob probably made it

[balmy fog]

Exactly

And how I pieced it together that way if somebody wants to try themselves they can

Im pretty sure the -2player is good

But who knows maybe 0B2-Mk is wrong

Im about to go to the grocery store, once I come back I might have an other go at it

Like a complete restart

[quaint wing]

https://goldtonemusicgroup.com/goldtone/instruments/ob-2 - I found something OB2 Gold. I'm looking into more, but if anyone wants another rabbit hole.

The tuning for it is GDGBD

[hasty anvil]

2 players could be 2 instrument players

[quaint wing]

If GOLD+EGG is the way to go, we'd need to find an MK Egg instrument. Unless I'm thinking of that wrong.

[balmy fog]

Wym MK Egg?

[quaint wing]

I'm going based on what I said. It was eyed GOLDEGG for these, and your 0B2-mk+2player lead me to an ob-2 gold tone banjo

Wig said could be 2 instruments, I was sticking to the gold egg solution to see if things stuck around that.

[dull onyx]

An egg shaker

[quaint wing]

We've cracked the code. Time for a snack

[balmy fog]

Def

I’m omw to McDonald’s

[manic valve]

Kfc

[turbid tinsel]

might be worth waiting on some eyes first to even know if its the right path to walk down.

[quaint wing]

For sure. We don't need THAT many rabbit holes

[tulip matrix]

Wow that's impressive. I was going cross-eyed just looking at these last night haha

[sharp flame]

Okay DAMN

[sharp flame]

How did you know the order?

[balmy fog]

I went from left to right

And if I started one I kept going then came back

[turbid tinsel]

is this accurate though? still looks like there is a section not done

[balmy fog]

Could be the missing S to player

[timid solstice]

not sure if they would mix italics

[balmy fog]

I went with what fitted, might also be distorsion idk

Italic did fit on a couple of them tho

[balmy fog]

maybe someone could double check, just erase everything and use dissolve on the text you place

I lowered the opacity to around 20%

[coarse dagger]

It's also possible the whole thing isn't a UTF-8/ASCII encoding

Here's the whole binary we suspect right now:

00110000 01000010 00110010 00101101 01001101 01101011 00101011 00110010 01110000 01101100 01100001 01111001 01100101 01110010

I'm going to assume "player" is UTF-8/ASCII encoding

00110000₂
48₁₀
30₁₆
0 (ASCII/UTF-8 encoding)

01000010₂
66₁₀
42₁₆
B (ASCII/UTF-8 encoding)

00110010₂
50₁₀
32₁₆
2 (ASCII/UTF-8 encoding)

00101101₂
45₁₀
2D₁₆
- (ASCII/UTF-8 encoding)

01001101₂
77₁₀
4D₁₆
M (ASCII/UTF-8 encoding)

01001101₂
107₁₀
6B₁₆
k (ASCII/UTF-8 encoding)

01001101₂
43₁₀
2B₁₆

• (ASCII/UTF-8 encoding)

00110010₂ (same as above)
50₁₀
32₁₆
2 (ASCII/UTF-8 encoding)

(01110000 01101100 01100001 01111001 01100101 01110010)₂
player (ASCII/UTF-8 encoding)

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Nothing jumps out.

Whole thing ASCII/UTF-8 encoding seems likely

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

I'll probably wait to see if we get 👀 before thinking about this too much.

If we've got it correct I think it's important to note there's both a - and a + in it. So they're probably not just acting as spaces.

[jagged ore]

If this isn't correct then it would be a crazy coincidence that bobk found something that came out to player

[coarse dagger]

Agreed, although like @balmy fog said, it's possible part is correct 2player/player, while other parts are incorrect

@balmy fog I do think there are parts potentially missing:

On the left and right respectively

I overlayed my WIP2 from this post:
#easter-eggs message

[jagged ore]

So how are you guys doing this to figure it out? Maybe I can take a look at it too

Is it just this #easter-eggs message

[vapid jewel]

The 9th and 11th numbers have the wrong number of digits no?

If you count them in the image

#easter-eggs message

[coarse dagger]

Here's the left with ONLY color blue 30 (maxed to blue 254). Red box shows portion unused in @balmy fog's analysis.

[chilly nest]

💀clicked the wrong channel

What’s going on here lol

[vapid jewel]

this is the channel for insane people

[coarse dagger]

And here's the right:

Those are the areas I'm most confident we're missing parts.

There's also something under the red 100 in the middle, which I'm fairly certain is not noise

[jagged ore]

Can you send the whole picture with this. I'll take a look at it too

like your blue version and the red/blue version

[quaint wing]

Everytime i open this channel to see if I can help, more insanity is being displayed. WE NEED EYES

[coarse dagger]

They're not only visible in blue 30 though. Here's my WIP_2 from this post #easter-eggs message with the red boxes.
My WIP_2 is basically a composite of all of the parts which seemed like puzzle pieces from my individual color analysis.

[jagged ore]

every time the pixels get more obscure 💀

[quaint wing]

What if we layered them all?

[jagged ore]

alright thanks

[coarse dagger]

For example, here's the right side with red 26 (elevated to red 254)

And red 27:

And red 28 (I messed this one up a little bit, the green and blue color channels are still present, but it looks basically the same, except the faint blues are actually black):

[quaint wing]

You're getting a lot of pixels in different colour ranges. If you were to take all of the pixels from all of them and overlap some way, do you think that would make things more clear?

[coarse dagger]

That's what WIP_2 is

[quaint wing]

Gotcha. Sorry, hard to make out on my phone

[balmy fog]

Im redoing it all

I think Ive missed parts

it mightve been the luckiest combo ever cuz I dont think itll be 2player anymore

[mortal marsh]

Just know we appreciate all your hard work

[jagged ore]

[coarse dagger]

I'm re-doing a bit of my earliest spotty work on my WIP as well

Even though it's probably not as helpful as I hoped it might help us confirm or double check some of @balmy fog's work

It's all so wishy-washy 😭

[hard summit]

Anyone try QR codes at all?

or overlapping some of the jumbled pixels overtop of each other to get an image/data?

[coarse dagger]

That's exactly what we're talking about

[coarse dagger]

It's going to be impossible to separate a QR code from all the noise in here IMO. Unless Rob has hidden parameters for making an adjustment layer somewhere, which so far we've seen no indication of.

[hard summit]

Yeah true

[balmy fog]

dont be fooled

thats SHOWCASE

😂

[coarse dagger]

If you're serious, no; that's from the #official-art

[balmy fog]

oh mb

I tought you was on my psd

is it at the start^

?

this one?

[coarse dagger]

Yeah, I think so

[balmy fog]

yea

[coarse dagger]

My redo didn't really change much in the end product, but it fixed up some of my earlier layers which I didn't correctly quantify the colors.
Not gonna post a new image, because it doesn't really change anything

[balmy fog]

I corrected

Wich one is that?

Could you zoom out a little

[turbid tinsel]

looks like cursive outline or pattern here in the background

[balmy fog]

oh nvm got it

@coarse dagger

[coarse dagger]

This is the right side. I think the right is going to be really hard to work with. I can tell something is there, but it's really hard to isolate on the few colors it's visible

[balmy fog]

Did it

the only one idk is the last zero

might be a one

this is for sure a one, to the left is a zero

then you just gotta utilize either 1 or 0 and respect the spacing

[jagged ore]

I am honestly getting pretty lost trying to figure out which one you guys are trying to solve right now 😅

[jagged ore]

Is this the first red box on the left there?

like the one that @balmy fog is doing right now?

or am I lost here

[turbid tinsel]

Also not sure if this is relevant but this got eyes awhile ago #easter-eggs message

[fallen jasper]

i tried to google "obsidian 2" and first link is Qanba. then i googled "qanba obsidian 2 release date" (idk why) and its 11-17-2023

[river flame]

5 days

🥳

[coarse dagger]

I'm gonna share my PSD in case some of the curves adjustment layers help you on their own.

It is not intuitive how to use the PSD
If you turn one of the curves adjustment layers on be sure to have no other layers enabled. ONLY the background.

The state I saved the PSD in has a white BG and the non-curves layers enabled, which I copied from the background layer while the corresponding curve was applied. This lets you view the final product of combining everything I extracted from every curve adjustment.

[turbid tinsel]

if this is at all related, its because one of their products is called titan which has been a clue before if im not mistaken being mars moon

but no eyes so who knows

[coarse dagger]

So here's how to view a compilation of everything I've extracted:

And here's how to view a single curve adjustment layer:

[jagged ore]

Oh I think I see what you did there

[coarse dagger]

Note that in this image I have each curve layer DISABLED in each group

[coarse dagger]

Yeah, above B0kb was working on the leftmost box

[jagged ore]

oh yeah I see the box layer

[coarse dagger]

@balmy fog I'm hoping the single curve adjustment layers can help you without the bias of what I've extracted

[balmy fog]

yUP

Yup

but so far the hits are weird

still not done cleaning it

[coarse dagger]

Rob, are we getting somewhere...?

or are we still floundering?

👆 Feel free to react to one of those two questions if you want to give us a nudge

No pressure

[balmy fog]

oops

nvm

i got

as of right now

im rly not done yet

[cold skiff]

Enjoy the mute unrestricted

[river flame]

this isn't the main chat

[coarse dagger]

Slow mode doesn't make sense in the context of what this channel is for. Use it responsibly. Discussion of the easter-egg hunt only please.

Welcome. Please read #egg-hunt-onboarding, the current padlet https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t2abc-8cpusy9qx4ectl24, and the pins in this channel

[cold skiff]

anyway, have fun EE people

[balmy fog]

Thanks Luke!

[spark kindle]

o7

procede to find more lore for me

[jagged ore]

So with what I got from lulz the 0 at the end seems more likely

[coarse dagger]

Of you
Is that a typo, swedglish, or a clue?

[turbid tinsel]

idk, ive pointed out this stuff a few times and nobody wanted to jump on it so i stopped bothering with it.

even though rob said he types in a specific way or something like that. idr the exact message

#easter-eggs message

[coarse dagger]

I'm guessing that one's a typo i and o are right next to each other on the keeb.

It's hard making typos on the internet when everyone is hanging on your every word and hyper-analyzing everything

[turbid tinsel]

yea but he edits every other message with a typo so why just leave those ones as is?

is it really a coincidence he edits some and not others?

for a grand mastermind for us easter egg hunting looking for clues

come on now this is rob were talking about here

[coarse dagger]

I'm sure he overlooks things sometimes. He's still human... right?

https://tenor.com/view/rob-nintendo-robot-blocks-gif-5451169

[turbid tinsel]

its possible, but hes been doing it for years and in a channel where anything could be taken or interpreted as a clue seems less likely. just my take but who knows

[balmy fog]

so far

not done yet

WIP

[coarse dagger]

TBDETER -> TO BE DETERMINED?

[balmy fog]

idk

actually changed a lot of 1 and 0 with your work

i have no clue

how the fuck

I had 2 player

pure magic

[coarse dagger]

It's really hard stuff to interpret 😭

[hasty anvil]

this seems odd, maybe GAH is an acronym

a lot of clue messages end in .!

[balmy fog]

yeah

[coarse dagger]

Rob did say this however:

This is COMPLETELY unrelated to this EE-hunt, just me going down the memory lane...
#easter-eggs message

[balmy fog]

yikes

why

not done yet

wip

[hasty anvil]

ahh i see, just seeing his signature makes me re think haha

[turbid tinsel]

curious if this is a play on ETA, like synonyms

tbd and eta pretty much same meaning

[coarse dagger]

Do you still think it's the same length as your original assessment?
It was 14 characters before; TBDETERMINED is 12, so there might be more at the end

[balmy fog]

Working on it bois

[turbid tinsel]

The G chord is sometimes known as the king of the “cowboy chords” because it’s one of the first chords many beginners learn when they start playing the guitar. Its simplicity and versatility make it a popular choice for playing a wide variety of songs.

Cass eta is called the queen and this chord is referred to as the king. maybe we need a joker now

or card suits

[coarse dagger]

The joker is us staring at blurry pixels 🤡

[coarse dagger]

card suits in PETSCII

[turbid tinsel]

thats what made me think of suits

also wonder if the king of cowboys thing is a reference to the images pulled from the trailer

on next map location or what not

[fallen jasper]

So what yall easter egg people think about this will it be a new map?

[raw dock]

Where’d you get the image?

[north crag]

its from the trailer

for ob

[turbid tinsel]

@coarse dagger were you here for the van morrison links?

[balmy fog]

@coarse dagger

Need you

asap

I'll DM

[raw dock]

Ahh. Was very distorted

[balmy fog]

Is there OG hunters connected?

[hidden nacelle]

what do you mean? 🤔

[balmy fog]

Oh I know you've been here for a long time

[tulip matrix]

hello

[balmy fog]

Duh!

Let me DM you

[turbid tinsel]

@tulip matrix you were here for the van morrison clues werent you?

[jade citrus]

why yall talking about van morrison

[turbid tinsel]

when looking up g chord stuff

and yall were on this along time ago

[jade citrus]

yeah the titles of all of the T1D images were van morrison songs

not sure if van morrison was ever connected to 0vif0rm though

[turbid tinsel]

and eta cass is called the queen. g chord is referred to as the king of the “cowboy chords

[turbid tinsel]

has to be, rob mentioned it was but said it would be literally impossible to figure out

[tulip matrix]

ye ye

[turbid tinsel]

g chord linked me to morrison and his brown eyed girl song

[turbid tinsel]

#easter-eggs message

[tulip matrix]

It's an interesting link for sure

maybe part of a larger theme

There is the whole Virgin Mary path I dare not tread again

[lone wave]

I followed the padlet to kinda see all the branches we’re following, but what’s the question right now, if I want to focus on one thing to maybe help you guys ?

[turbid tinsel]

ima be honest, your best bet is to either look in the recent images for clues. or personally just wait for the next set of eyes or hint from rob and vibe with everyone off those eyes

like its getting pretty deep but that would be the easiet way to jump in, in my own opinion

like the latest images we really have nothing SOLID for eyes yet, if anything

[timid pebble]

Its just so easy to make guesses. Everything can have a link if you believe it enough 🥲. I didn't knew who Van Morrison was so I looked him up and the first thing that striked me was he had an album named: What wrong with this picture? it gave me easter egg vibes and turn's out theres a song in it called Goldfish Bowl 😆

This easter egg will make all of us crazy.

[lone wave]

Last time I was actively trying to help, b0kb and Lulz were on photoshop trying to figure out binary after Rob eyed my message. I see it’s getting somewhere, but is the TBDETERMINED is just speculations or a possible answer ?

[turbid tinsel]

until we get eyes confirming its the right path we wont know.

But thats just off one section of the photo

[lone wave]

Ok so I guess I can’t help for now…

[turbid tinsel]

there is literally tons of clues left on that image

why cant you?

[lone wave]

I have no photoshop skills lol (and no photoshop at all)

[turbid tinsel]

just download the software gimp

its free

its not as advanced as photoshop but you can still do tons with it

and i have zero skill as well

and i can tell you for a fact on the girl image there are numbers in the top right section that go down to the bottom of her shoulder

[lone wave]

I’ll use that for next time yeah good idea! (But right now I’m on my phone, it’s 3:30am and my gf is gonna hear my mouse and keyboard if I start doing that lol. But I can wiki deep dive the fuck out of everything)

[lone wave]

Do we have a screenshot for that ?

[turbid tinsel]

i never posted it because it wasnt super clear but let me get it and share

[lone wave]

Thanks man, let’s look into that

[coarse dagger]

I think that was around 5-6 months before I joined.

[lone wave]

I was gonna watch YouTube before going to sleep but this discord server is all I have left from that incredible fucking game and I love it

[turbid tinsel]

you can see the outline of them in one of the outer rings on the right side

i just cant make out what they are

[lone wave]

Holy shit like a 3, 8, 4, 3 ? Right ??

[turbid tinsel]

something, and im farily certain there is stuff written in the pillars on the left somehow

[fallen jasper]

Man this stuff is crazy

[vapid jewel]

where are the numbers in it?

i'm not seeing anything on the shoulder

[lone wave]

I’ll get back to you in a sec, just wait imma draw them

[balmy fog]

where we at so far

[balmy fog]

it still needs to be changed

[lone wave]

So… I typed 3843 on google

I’ve found a Lego set

[coarse dagger]

A few things, in roughly chronological order of when they came up this tier:
0) Before T2ABC began Rob made a point to ask if we had found everything in THE_FINALS_NamaTama_Concept_0.1.png.

#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message

1. We don't know the significance of rob capitalizing ONE and EXACTLY in two back to back messages

#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message

2. More image analysis of ready_.gif

#easter-eggs message

3. We don't know the meaning of 6000666

#easter-eggs message

4. We don't know the significance of Eta Cassiopeiae

#easter-eggs message

5. This might be backtracking, but there was a clue found after the fact we never related in 086111064

#easter-eggs message

6. We don't know the significance of hour, day, month, year

#easter-eggs message

7. We're still not sure why Rob eye'd these C64 keys, or @sharp flame mentioning they had a similar keyboard

#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message

8. We still don't know the significance of the G/G6 chord

#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message

9. More image analysis of THE_FINALS_Screenshot_015_3840x2160_F

#official-art message

10. More image analysis of THE_FINALS_Screenshot_019_3840x2160_F

#official-art message

11. We still don't know if there's anything of significance in the file names of the two most recent #official-art

12. More video/image analysis of the THEFINALS_OpenBeta_ThankYou_ESRB_T_1080p_30 video and THE_FINALS_THX_TO_YOU_ALL_LOVE_EMBARK.jpg

#social-updates1 message
#game-announcements message

13. More analysis of #permanant-rewards media

Hit me up with any corrections or anything I may have missed

[lone wave]

Thank you lulz❤️

[turbid tinsel]

@coarse dagger might be a reach but you think the 5 on the dice there might be related to the 5 on the namatama pictured where it showed him cracked open?

[lone wave]

I don’t know… like… I’ve found a Lego set and I already feel dumb for that HAHAHAHA

BUT it made me think about a pyramid, just like in the last video for the end of the beta

[turbid tinsel]

might be small but just sharing anything and someone who has been around for a minute might be able to bring references to it

[turbid tinsel]

this is how im actually seeing the image based on select by color

actually that doesnt show it well. in a clip it actually shows the pixels moving

[coarse dagger]

I don't follow.

Rob did make a point to bring up THE_FINALS_NamaTama_Concept_0.1.png again between tiers, so there's probably some important stuff we missed. I'll add it to the list above with an edit.
#easter-eggs message

[turbid tinsel]

on the band aid there were 5 dots like on dice i think rock pointed out

[timid pebble]

I'm feeling like the answer is gonna be something that would need to be typed on a C64. Why give us a gif with Loading with no hidden clue in it. It has to serve a purpose.

While looking for C64 stuff i've come across this:

https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/WAIT
You can read, WAIT is a keyword in the built-in BASIC interpreter, which waits for a given memory location to match specific bit constellations.

Bit Constellations? Might be a link there idk lmaoooo

[turbid tinsel]

Bit constellations would make sense with the in game boards we got

[coarse dagger]

I'm struggling to figure out what "bit constellations" actually means in that context. Very few mentions of it with a quick google, fewer explainations, fewer references including C64

[timid pebble]

Yea this might be too deep, but the coincidence was too strong for me not sharing it ahah oopsi

[coarse dagger]

Right, I recall that

[tulip matrix]

086111064 appears to be the phone number of a Goldsmith/Jeweler in Stockholm called '1064'

[coarse dagger]

To quote Rob:

The good old days when EE-hunting was a walk in the park...

[turbid tinsel]

yea i think fish founds this not to long ago

[tulip matrix]

Yeah tell me about it haha

[coarse dagger]

Wonder if the park nearby is relevant? Humlegården

[tulip matrix]

I suppose if every password was as easy as 'geocache' then we would be done with this by now

[tulip matrix]

Ah ok. I vaguely remember the jewelry store being mentioned but not about a phone number

I honestly miss the days of everyone being able to collaborate on what the clues meant and how to put them together instead of spending the majority of our time just trying to pry a few clues loose from the images.

[coarse dagger]

I thought I did too, but I can't find it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ah, here:
#easter-eggs message

[lone wave]

I tried to look up 6000666 and I’ve got some results but I don’t think it could help… maybe ?

[tulip matrix]

Interesting statue

[lone wave]

Yup but I don’t know if it’s gonna help haha

[coarse dagger]

I'm was kinda confused on the timeline of this, so I wrote up the following:
10/11/2022 We solve T1A

#easter-eggs message

09/23/2023 @timid solstice finds marble egg in Pisa Cathedral

#easter-eggs message

09/24/2023 Rob confirms the egg lamp as a clue, basically telling us it was for getting to the answer for T1A:

Construction on the cathedral began in 1063 (1064 according to the Pisan calendar of the time)
#easter-eggs message

[lone wave]

There’s a statue there of Carl Von Linné, father of modern taxonomy. (He’s the guy who invented the way of designating a species with 2 Latin words.)

[coarse dagger]

Was looking for T1A documentation. Found the padlet:
https://padlet.com/duhmeistertv/tfee-level-2-the-promise-t1a-jn8pzep2feryjhm6

[lone wave]

But : we already called the golden egg with 2 Latin words so… maybe it’s not that

[tulip matrix]

Sheesh a whole year ago 😅

[lone wave]

Humlegården is a park, but also a very little island in Sweden that is shaped like an egg —> coordinates : 57,21607° N, 14,61048° E

But if it’s a walk in the park I bet we could find something related to it

There’s the royal library for example

[coarse dagger]

It's also entirely possible "walk in the park" wasn't a clue

[lone wave]

Yup haha

Last thing : Humlegården means hop garden. And with hop you make beer. That yellow thingy

[coarse dagger]

14. Rob eye'd @pure loom's message about potential second meanings to T1ABC/T2DEF. Might be worth going back and seeing if we can find new connections between tiers.

#easter-eggs message

https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t1c-vdxdc9hmjexfjsa7

[lone wave]

Imma have to go to sleep now but yeah, can’t wait to look for clues again next time. I feel like I go way too far since I end up nowhere near what we know so far but I can’t help myself from wanting to find potential new branches that could help. It’s frustrating and interesting at the same time

[coarse dagger]

That's how it goes! It's a natural part of EE hunting! Sleep well!

[lone wave]

Thanks! Idk what time it is for you but I’m gonna go with « you too buddy » haha

[tulip matrix]

If G=6

maybe

1 0 6 4 = L O G D

gold

[turbid tinsel]

how does 1064 equal logd?

[coarse dagger]

Sorry, how is your opacity working like that? Mine fades the whole thing uniformly, how I'd typically expect opacity to work.

[balmy fog]

dissolve

Fondu = Dissolve

[coarse dagger]

Thank you! Just found that!

I wonder if the disolve is deterministic

[coarse dagger]

Doesn't look like it. Moving the fonttext changes the dissolve.

[tulip matrix]

I'm assuming it is in leet

[coarse dagger]

I could see it

[tulip matrix]

I wouldn't typically think of D being a 4 but it fit for this case

[coarse dagger]

A1 B2 C3 D4 as well

[tulip matrix]

true

[undone socket]

yellow st > gold pendant of st michael archangel > michael archangel, the angel of mercury according to "the golden legend"

wait

nevermind

[turbid tinsel]

if we are assuming its leet are you going like 1= L based on it looking like the letter? if so wouldnt 4 be a y?

[tulip matrix]

usually 4 in leet is associated with A but that ruins my theory 😂

I just assigned D to 4 because it's the only letter left over in GOLD after 106 and it kiiinda fits if you reverse the 4

[turbid tinsel]

i could see that, i just assumed a y based on how we actually write the number 4 instead of how it shows being typed and i got logy

to bad i dont feel like their is any logitech g6 mice easter eggs

even though there are some egg shaped mice lol

[tulip matrix]

Now I want a Namatama gaming mouse

[coarse dagger]

I'm back to wondering if we should be overlaying sections of the patterns. I feel like the long one is designating the length of the puzzle. If so, the long one has parts "dripping down", so I think it represent the top of what we're assembling (although it may or may not need to be mirrored after a solve)

[coarse dagger]

The maximum heights seem pretty uniform. I feel like we're not supposed to stack any vertically, only overlay them?

The aliasing/lighting certainly behaves... interesting in this photo...

[spring tusk]

Must be the camera's depth of field

[turbid tinsel]

whats more interesting is part of her ear is missing, when i was looking pretty sure there is a word in that section of hair going up to the top

and pretty sure on the edge of her ear has lettering.

[coarse dagger]

Gonna be real... I feel like you see lettering... everywhere 😅

[spring tusk]

Van Gogh like?

[turbid tinsel]

tell me im wrong lol

[turbid tinsel]

full screen and look at the right side tell me thats not letting or something #easter-eggs message

[coarse dagger]

... I don't see it

[turbid tinsel]

your really telling me you dont see any thing outlined in the black mass here? its all just solid black?

[coarse dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/sweats-gif-25346666

[turbid tinsel]

like i dont get how you can say you dont see anything there but jump on the weird stuff at the bottom like its more noticeable lol. you can clearly see there are shapes/outlines/obvious noise here.

[heady sail]

I also don’t see anything, could you outline it in a different color?

[turbid tinsel]

yall wild, gimme 3 seconds

[coarse dagger]

Here I don't see stuff in the bottom:

But as soon as I apply threshold 27... how could I not? Also, rob has eye'd the stuff at the bottom.

I don't know how to put any of the stuff in the bottom together, or iterpret it... i'll acknowledge that, but it 100% know there's something hidden there.

[undone socket]

all i see is minecraft enchantment table text

[undone socket]

was that not the binary stuff? or was that disprooven

[coarse dagger]

Wasn't disproven... wasn't proven. We've not gotten any positive feedback on the footer stuff except for these two posts Rob eyed:
#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message

[heady sail]

I am new to this so I will observe lol

[coarse dagger]

This was in one of the posts Rob eye'd along with the image, so it has me wary of the binary, but it's possible Rob's eyes were only directed at the image

looks like some sort of pattern rather than words or numbers

[heady sail]

I think I’m just dead wrong but they look like lines of music

[undone socket]

this stuff? #easter-eggs message

[coarse dagger]

Like sheet music? We have some music related stuff this tier

[coarse dagger]

Ooh, I didn't see that

[undone socket]

yah

#easter-eggs message < plaintext in order

[turbid tinsel]

you dont see how any shapes or letters or anything based on the white/grey pixels inside the yellow here?

[undone socket]

might be something, try running it thur a dif filter?

[heady sail]

I mean it could see it turning into a shape or letter but as is that’s just a big black bar

[undone socket]

this stuff?

[turbid tinsel]

bruh yes if you not super close and looking at it it almost looks like there are hidden letters running along the curve i cant make them out be there is definitely a background/silhouette that i can see at least on my monitor

[heady sail]

I guess I can see it, like I can make out a B and an E but also maybe that’s just how white noise works

Like cloud watching or ink plots

[undone socket]

my guess is compression artifacts (doubtful with how clean these are uploaded) or it needs a different filter or effect, i dont know photoshop that much unforntunately

but it might be something

[heady sail]

I agree with that

Keep throwing filters and overlays on it, all the fun stuff

[quaint wing]

We need eyes goddamnit!

[coarse dagger]

Let me go back and look

[quaint wing]

I scrolled through a bunch and didn't see any

[undone socket]

yeah i couldnt see anything off my height map

i found the chords again tho lol

[quaint wing]

This chord is Gaug(maj13) add(#9)\F#
another possible name is Gb13 add(b9)

Or maybe Eaug11

That's my guess. I assume the open circles are open notes, the filled in ones are close to em

[undone socket]

its not Emin\G?

[quaint wing]

Unless everyone figured that out already.

[undone socket]

https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t2abc-8cpusy9qx4ectl24

[undone socket]

im not good at reading music lol

[quaint wing]

Nevermind me then. If they figured it out already.

[undone socket]

but theres progress on it

its likely to something

[quaint wing]

This is me guessing based on what I see. I see 3 open circles, which I guess is an open note, and the other two are lined up awfully close to the open, which makes me think of frets.

[undone socket]

i think g = 6 is what its saying

[quaint wing]

Ahhh, then they already figured that part out. Pay me no mind.

[quaint wing]

Yup. Just looked, lol

[undone socket]

red = likely or confirmed

oh damb i just realized i can send images

when did that happen

does yellowst mean anything to you?

[quaint wing]

I think there was mention of that earlier today. I remember seeing it

[spring tusk]

Rob most likely duplicated the T1-f page and forgot to rename it in squarespace. (Hence why -1 was automatically added)
Or not, but we don't know for sure

[quaint wing]

The chord, if it's supposed to be similar to the whiteboard with a missing fret, looks to be EM\G.

GBEGBE. On standard tuning

But if everyone figured out the full chord bits, then I'm grasping at straws trying to be useful, lmao

[coarse dagger]

So we got G6 chord from the whiteboard and Rob eyed that:
#easter-eggs message

[quaint wing]

But nothing about the one in the picture?

[spring tusk]

More eyes are always appreciated

[undone socket]

but is it major or minor 😔

[quaint wing]

Nevermind, I'm looking through the padlet

[undone socket]

honestly finding that whiteboard in game is crazy im so sad i was too busy playing the game to look for clues

[coarse dagger]

The one he eye'd was a G6 major

[undone socket]

gotcha

[quaint wing]

Looking at the padlet, I see a lot of mentions of chords and all of that, and eyes on keyboard. I'm not seeing anything on Keyboard.

[undone socket]

c64 was off the ready gif, they identified it was a commodore

idk where the keyboard itself comes into play tho

i mean ive got the c64 plug and play thing in my room lol

[coarse dagger]

There's a couple down in the bottom of stuff Rob eyed.

I brought up the fact that rob eyed a picture of keyboard keys and a mention of a keyboard in this post:
#easter-eggs message

And then hypothesized he was trying to get us to think about keyboard instruments in this post:
#easter-eggs message

Here are the two keyboard related posts he 👀 'd:
#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message

[quaint wing]

Did anyone else notice the keys on the keyboard on fish's post aren't right?

[coarse dagger]

I vaugely remember someone pointed that out. I think the photo is of a set of keys for sale (ebay)

[quaint wing]

Ahhh, got it.

Ohhhhh, that's where G=6 comes from.

[coarse dagger]

So our two chords are G6 chords.

The one on the board is missing a string, which we presume to be the 4th string.

The one in the image has 4th string switched from a D to an E when compared to the G6 image he eyed.

A1 B2 C3 D4
D4
4th string D
4th letter of GOLD D
D -> E
GOLE?

[undone socket]

6OLE?

[coarse dagger]

That could explain the f-1 in the URL as well

Just spitballing some thoughts I just had

[quaint wing]

I feel like I've shown up too late to a school project and have no idea what the fuck my groups been doing.

[undone socket]

haha yeah

thats how i felt
still a bit confused tbf

[coarse dagger]

Your group:

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-gif-24177057

[quaint wing]

I watched someone look at pixels for 12 hours straight before going insane and figuring something out, lmao

I'm trying to catch up on the things in the padlet and formulating things, but there's a good chance they've been done already.

[undone socket]

im still mad about whatever this connect the dots thing is

either some bird character with a scarf or some continent lmao

[quaint wing]

Did F=6 turn out to be anything?

If F=6 is part of the G6 Chord, it swaps the chord to a G13.

Or if the OB2 was right, and it was actually the gold tone banjo, that means 4 notes. GBDE.

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message

[undone socket]

gotcha

[quaint wing]

I love your ability to just recall all of this.

[coarse dagger]

And then right below that:

#easter-eggs message

[undone socket]

yeah ik that

was just tryina further the investegation on the dots just incase

[jade citrus]

why this tier so damn hard

[undone socket]

my guess is either connect or it liks to some star map

[coarse dagger]

Because "We're ready"!
😭

[coarse dagger]

I don't want to be ready anymore

[undone socket]

never back down never give up!

[jade citrus]

and then T2DEF after this one...

[coarse dagger]

There is a bit of a bird on Screenshot_015's forehead

[undone socket]

either the art department had a deform map on the texture or a MASSIVE clue, cant tell anymore

my brain is melting

[quaint wing]

This is what happens when you look at things long enough

[undone socket]

wait were just on 2abc?

[jade citrus]

yes

[undone socket]

[jade citrus]

i think its just a little variation in the white makeup

like it is around the eyes

[undone socket]

yeah thats my theory

[quaint wing]

It was also said that this stage is supposed to be easy.

and stage 3 is supposed to be the hard one.

[undone socket]

i mean hey, the splotch above her right eye kinda looks like a dragon lmao

(joke suggestion) maybe its all connected to the atari adventure game

[coarse dagger]

Rob's difficultometer is chronically broken

[undone socket]

were gonna crack it eventually and have a massive rush of euphoria then a sudden drop in dread realizing DUH it was THAT EASY

[quaint wing]

It's starting to look that way. That, or everyone's so hyper focused on difficult things that we can't see the basics right in front of us.

[quaint wing]

ok everythings gold themed for 2abc right?

[quaint wing]

ABC = Gold
DEF = Egg

[undone socket]

pleiad was from greek mythology and the golden age of athens started around 480 bce and 404 bce

[coarse dagger]

Technically we can do both at once. Both password fields are available to us.

[jade citrus]

that's what I thought like 2 months ago but Rob has confirmed gold+egg

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message

[undone socket]

im still troubled by his warning that our clues might be too unique to google,

[jade citrus]

ok so for 2 months Rob was confirming gold+egg for T2ABC but now its just gold

[undone socket]

ya

[jade citrus]

that's fun

[coarse dagger]

I think he was confirming it for ABC/DEF because we're working on both

OH! One thing I forgot on my list of things we need to work on:
THE WHITEBOARDS. Surely there's more clues there

[undone socket]

can we beg rob for a high res pic of them?

cause i can barely read that

143.9 * 719293 mm

is my guess

also love that the finals logo is drawn on it

[quaint wing]

I can't paste pictures yet, but the Up and right arrow. 110110 = 54 up, 77 to the right?

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message

[undone socket]

oh sick

[coarse dagger]

Still hard, but it's screenshots of the game, and it was hard to see in-game too

[undone socket]

143.9 x 71.9 x 7.9

[quaint wing]

81736.639

[undone socket]

it all makes sense now

lmao

[coarse dagger]

Guessing these are dimensions which may or may not be more important or relevant than the volume?

[undone socket]

yeah maybe

i think its the volume or length of each tier in the pyrimad drawing

[coarse dagger]

Variables named Dk and T.
Dk and lowercase t are used for "measuring oxygen transmissibility of a contact lens"
https://mycorneacare.com/glossary/dk-t-value/

[undone socket]

schematics for a contact lense?

oh wait

no

because its capital t

does Dk mean anything?

other than donky kong lol

[quaint wing]

The permeability coefficient (Dk) can be expressed as the product of diffusion (D) and solubility (k) - Google is failing to make my life easier.

[quaint wing]

T = Thickness.

[undone socket]

TOO MANY TABS

[coarse dagger]

Both Dk and T look like they're depicting the thickness of 2 different stacks, but hard to say

[quaint wing]

I'm looking at the line graph.

There's an X/Y coordinate, then a whole ass other thing I'm not sure of. X=57, Y=77 (I think).

The bottom right shows 100.X(57), 0, 0 -> 100,000 and 100 underneath it.

[undone socket]

talkin about this image?

[quaint wing]

Yeah. That one

[coarse dagger]

No beg, if we didn't get quality enough screenshots while OB was in progress that's on us

[undone socket]

fair

[quaint wing]

Maybe it's a 71

[coarse dagger]

We also have X=? and Y=? on the other whiteboard

X=15, Y = 1.56?

[undone socket]

yeah

theres also
110110
|

_____71

[quaint wing]

That looks right to me.

110110 is 57

[coarse dagger]

I'm confused by this, at the bottom that might not be a 6 in y=1.56... because what's under the 2nd A line? 1.5y = 3??? That 5 doesn't really look like it has a top line in that equation to me

[jagged sage]

what are you guys even looking for here

[quaint wing]

NUMBERS. PASSWORDS. ALL OF IT

[coarse dagger]

Whatever we can find. That's how this works

[quaint wing]

You get enough puzzle pieces, you might be able to force some together.

[jagged sage]

brother is solving math equations on a whiteboard while purple team is cashing out the final 10k

[undone socket]

c o n n e c t i o n s

[jagged sage]

legend has it hes still looking at this whiteboard, the game has already ended

pencil on the side of his ear and tapping his food on the ground

[quaint wing]

That equation would make y=~2.3, unless it's a .5

Which makes it y = 2. But WHAT DOES IT MEAN

[turbid tinsel]

almost looks like the cents sign in the back ground

[jagged sage]

bitcoin forreal

probably the currency in-game

[quaint wing]

Yeah, cuz none of this makes cents yet.

[jagged sage]

real

good luck on your guys' investigation hope you find whatever the easter egg is

you probably already found it but didnt realize

its going to be coordinates to a bird like the fortnite burger from season 5

[undone socket]

just for fun

[quaint wing]

Robs going to eye some obsqure shit that just makes everything worse. I can feel it.

[coarse dagger]

is it maybe y = 1.5b?

[quaint wing]

maybe.

[undone socket]

every 2 ticks on y is 3?

is x 15 or 1.5?

[quaint wing]

We do have an X,Y from the other whiteboard

Which is 57, 71 (or 77)

[ripe axle]

The gold coins in game have the triangle logo on both sides I am pretty sure

[coarse dagger]

mobo ♡

?

[quaint wing]

Is that one of robs signatures?

[coarse dagger]

Doesn't look like it:
#easter-eggs message

[jagged sage]

mobo is an abbreviation for motherboard

idk how that would have any relevance or significance

[quaint wing]

Yeah, but we're not 100% sure if that's what it says or not

It's at the top of a line graph, and that graph has zero information on it. There's some stuff around it that might mean something, but we're grasping at straws and waiting for Rob to eye something we might've done right

[quaint wing]

I want to know what the NQ stuff is and the thing right under it.

[undone socket]

googling says nasdaq but i doubt

dont take my word on it

gonna try my best on the 2nd one

[jagged ore]

nasdaq to the moon = ❤️ 😂

One link is purple for me in that page, and I have no idea when/why I was reading about it, but it had to be during the EE hunt:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbasid_Caliphate

[jagged ore]

The red boxes do remind me of how ABC = gold and DEF = egg and ABC+DEF is gold egg

[undone socket]

where?

[jagged ore]

The red boxes going together from smaller boxes

Kind of center/left

[undone socket]

ah

img1 is just how i view the numbers corilating to the weird boxes

img 2 is (probably wrong) math pointing to a guess on image 3

(45,1.2) or (45,12)

[quaint wing]

and now we wait for eyes to see who's right.'

[undone socket]

its been a minute since ive been in maths

[quaint wing]

It's just a matter of hoping everything correlates the way we think it does. We could be 100% wrong with that.

[undone socket]

for sure

[quaint wing]

Like, those lines don't really say much. The A - B and A - C

[undone socket]

i mean the whiteboards may have just been for the chords and were looking too deep solving background assets lmao

[quaint wing]

True

We just wanna do something! I'll wake up tomorrow and see where things land.

[undone socket]

this HAS to be something

[quaint wing]

I think that's on the padlet somewhere.

[coarse dagger]

Yeah, we're running out of threads to pull

[quaint wing]

All we gotta see is if something that was done today warrented eyes. If we get some eyes, maybe we can move in the right direction. Right now, we're jumping down rabbit holes we may have no right going down.

[coarse dagger]

Or it feels like we are. I'm sure Rob will say there's tons left for us to find! 😅

[undone socket]

The white line dividing the majority of the photo from the footer in screenshot_015

[undone socket]

whatever this is, im taking it as gospel now

[coarse dagger]

It's almost white, but there's a decent bit of stuff going on in there.

[undone socket]

ohhh

[quaint wing]

Couple shades down, or can we get an RGB value for it?

[undone socket]

for hat or skull?

[coarse dagger]

Was hoping to find some morse or something, but none as far as I can tell.

[coarse dagger]

It's non-uniform

[quaint wing]

Booo

[undone socket]

is there any way to quantify it?

any values at all?

[coarse dagger]

screenshot_019's footer dividing line isn't white or uniform either.

[undone socket]

scam

hat skull and loading are the only offical images for t2abc?

and ready

[coarse dagger]

loading_.gif and ready_.gif were both posted in this channel, prior to the #official-art. In regards to loading_.gif Rob told us:
#easter-eggs message

Strange cursor...
#easter-eggs message
Dont spend time analyzing that gif... I actually have not hidden anything in there
#easter-eggs message
(but it IS a strange cursor, I wonder why)

Typically our canon EE images come all come from #official-art, but there have been quite a few exceptions along the way, although the exceptions usually seem to have less hidden (from what I've seen)

Other than that this tier we've had the video in #social-updates1, which had the hidden binary which led us to G=6:
#easter-eggs message

[quaint wing]

Best of luck. See you in the morning. If we haven't found eyes, my hope is lost!

[undone socket]

i doubt it but hey, were hard at work! stay strong fellow ee hunter

[undone socket]

oh yeahh

and we already got all we could out of that video right?

Here's a quote from Rob in regards to clue images:
#easter-eggs message

Yes but these are always posted by me in official art... that said there might be some small clues in other images too, hehe...

[undone socket]

lil bit of tom foolery i see

[coarse dagger]

In the past we've also found small hints in the Meet the Makers podcast about THE FINALS, but that was when the podcast was fresh.
https://open.spotify.com/show/5OehdZdePuUwWUS0Og9cvQ

[undone socket]

yeah nothing jumps out instantly in the game announcements images

[coarse dagger]

That's about all I can think of regarding past/present clue avenues

Oh, I guess people have stumbled across URLs on the website
https://www.reachthefinals.com/

For example our one and only diamond clue https://www.reachthefinals.com/burrw

[undone socket]

😔

ima go to bed bc its getting late, been at this for a few hours but it was great lookin thru things as usual lol

if only i didnt have work

catch ya later

[timid solstice]

This is found waay back whe we were researching the Pisa Griffin

[coarse dagger]

Yeah, I realized that once I found the T1A padlet. I guess we were supposed to come across that Jeweler somehow during T1A?

[timid solstice]

maybe

[coarse dagger]

Anyone know if this image of Nama has been found/seen before?

[ripe axle]

https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/1*Y3cpl5gBXTYJfPD5RpUS1A.jpeg

In case this image has not been shared here before. It's old concept art, not sure they were already adding easter eggs to stuff but eh

[coarse dagger]

There's a code on the bottom of the Ospuse Poppin' skin which I've only been able to see in this post:
#game-announcements message

21C01V is clearish at the start

It's real rough... but?

21C01VI3C\R01

[jagged ore]

slightly adjusted version

it looks like 21C01VT3C??01

idk what is after the 3C though. It almost looks like "\t"

[balmy fog]

Good morning

[jagged ore]

also the beginning might actually also be 21CQ instead of CO

[jagged ore]

good morning

[jagged ore]

could also be \201

[fallen jasper]

Look at it from further away

[jagged ore]

also is it me or does it say 1000 ml on the side? that seems like a lot for the size 😂

[ripe axle]

and what about the line above tho? Look like 4 series of 3 numbers

[jagged ore]

yeah I can't really deciper much except for maybe 4??-???-??3-???

[balmy fog]

New clue? @jagged ore

[jagged ore]

maybe but even if we get a code from it I have no idea how or what to use it for lol

[balmy fog]

Isn’t it an old clue?

[jagged ore]

idk lulz brought it up so I looked at it as well

it's from the twitch rewards pictures so they have been posted for a while

but idk if it was used for anything yet

[balmy fog]

Ok

[timid solstice]

I've never seen that, wheres it from

[hidden nacelle]

From the embark website for security

[lone wave]

Since we were talking about G=6. Did anybody think about chord degrees ? Like the 6th degree. They are written in Roman numerals. And for the minor chord progression, if we look at the B minor key, G is in the VIth degree. So maybe we’ll have to look for a song in the Bm key ?

I added a second way of reading that so anyone can understand

[timid solstice]

here?
https://www.embark-studios.com/security

[neon stream]

ABC is Gold
DEF is Egg

What Rob eyed was Rockhound saying that combining ABC and DEF would give "Gold Egg". (Which, like I said before, I think will be the answer for Tier 3)

[balmy fog]

Rob also eye'd the fact that they are both gold and/or egg related

[neon stream]

I missed that, where?

[balmy fog]

@neon stream

[neon stream]

Yeah, that's what I mean

I said this when we were looking for the answer to Tier 1B, and I think that theory has been quite confirmed already 😅

Tiers 1A to 1C ended up being all Gold related
Tiers 1D to 1F ended up being all Egg related
I think that message confirms that Tier 2ABC will combine the answers from the first three Tiers (Gold), and Tier 2DEF will combine the answers for the second three Tiers (Egg), and then the last tier will combine "Gold" and "Egg"

So, for this tier, we would just need to look for a format to write "gold"

[balmy fog]

Yep totally agree

Ok so, I didn't want to share it yesterday

Because of how inaccurate it could be

I really need to re-do it a third time

I've showed it to @coarse dagger who also worked it and he didn't end up having the same results

So, once again, it might be biased

I know for a fact that, when I made the binary code, in the ''DETERMINED'' the actual E,E,R,N had to be reworked a couple times to actually fit, the other letters were good fit, and the = also was a /, also had to rework it a little bit

I really don't know how accurate this is, since I could possibly be biased

when you see TBD automatically you think to be determined so...

if we follow the 9=D

could it possibily mean that,

G=6
O=0
L=1
D=9

so it would be 6019

It doesn't work

[ripe axle]

When I find a The Finals image or video, how do I search if it has already been studied here without just asking you guys

[balmy fog]

but if I follow G=6, then, that means f=5,e=4,d=3
