out of all the tiers, isn’t vit3llus the only actually latin word on the list?

egg yolk?

[sharp flame]

lxxix

[hard current]

that’s roman numerals, which I think could be argued are different, they were used by rome but aren’t considered latin themselves are they?

[sharp flame]

Considering that Rob's Latin hints have ultimately been pointing at 3->iii and 79->lxxix

being the final goal

I'd assume that's what the Latin clues are for

Since they've been around since the start

? = URL

perhaps

We know a lot about gold, space, eggs, and Latin.

#easter-eggs message

You think easter eggs are hidden in their marketing irl?

[full token]

Lowkey, i'm working my way through a few lines of thought with clues. Could have to do with SpaceTime, few things made me think of physics. Plus all the arc stuff. I'm thinking there's a connection to ARC Raiders, is there any confirmation that the games are in the same universe or othewise? TF is a VR game show, right?

Idk them being set in the same universe might be a stretch, but maybe not. I haven't looked too much into ARC Raiders tbh. Idek if there's much to read up on.

[sharp flame]

The sun has the same ancient symbol as gold..

[full token]

I mean tbh, the amount of connections is astounding. Intentional or not, Dr. Rob is a genius. Trying so hard to hold on to the guide rope and stay focused on what could possibly matter. Still trying to catch up.

[daring bluff]

not sure where else to put this but… these images were posted on the official steam page and given they’ve been there for over a day I think they were put there intentionally and not accidentally.

i noticed a few key things:

-UI has some nice updates. in the 3rd image, it seems as if it’s a new or updated casual mode because it uses the structure of bank it in the top left for the team placements, but yet on the screen 2 cash boxes are visible. could be a casual version of the normal cashout mode or an updated version of quick cash. however, given the second image is clearly from the same old quick cash mode, i think this means the 3rd image is a “new” mode.

-in the 4th image you can see the medium carrying a dome shield. good since heavy now isn’t supplying all the shields for the teams. unless both classes can use it but i doubt it.

-5th image, heavy is carrying 2 rpg’s. this suggests to me a couple things: double, or maybe even triple slotting is now a thing, and probably for every class. that creates some very interesting balance situations. or maybe it’s just an rpg thing. but secondly, they have the number 2 on each slot, indicating rpg’s now can carry max two rockets. Obviously, this doesn’t work if the rpg hasn’t had a significant rework. I would bet that now, its player damage is weaker but it can destroy buildings the same. It’s probably around 100-120 damage per rocket to players, so now you can’t one shot lights, but it doesn’t nerf rocket too much in the process. i LOVE this rework, since now you still have more tactical destruction. I believe Embark probably wanted to see more destruction in high level of play, and given most teams run mesh shield as the heavy ability, no one was utilizing the main destruction ability, the charge attack, and no one was using their very limited rpg shots to make tactical plays. love love love this change. can’t wait for the chaos.

-lastly, since all the first 4 images show mediums carrying turrets, I am curious if now this the default medium ability…

it’s about to get spicy and i can’t wait

(edit to my first point: it still could be bank it. those were vaults not cash boxes. new ui looks like old cash box ui)

[full token]

Yo hold up

I know y'all already tried Aesop and leet versions of it, but... Just was looking for something to stick out searching "gold egg" instead of "goldegg" since that just overwhelmingly points to the town.

I take it back, think that's still worth reading to jog the memory, even if it was written in '22. Ø = golden mean

Good hunting! 🥚

[full token]

Think it might still have something to do with Faberge eggs

[quaint wing]

There are no easter eggs in these images. Rob confirmed that.

[daring bluff]

ah i’m late to the party then

hope yall enjoyed my little breakdown in EE hunter fashion though

[quaint wing]

No worries. Check out the pins. There's a spreadsheet with everything we've found and are working on, a padlet with everything that's been worked on, and a bunch of threads full of spicy content people have theories on.

[daring bluff]

lol yeah i’ve been in here since the very beginning, i’d love to commit more time to this stuff because it fascinates me a ton, but i’ve been super busy. i’m also not as smart as some of yall lol

[quaint wing]

I'm in the same boat, but they're coming up with a lot, and doing great work

[coarse dagger]

From T1D Wallpaper_Keep_It_Simple:
These line up. See the little white "^" in the darkest part of the black and white image? It's in the same spot as the one one the gun.
I think there's also 2 new symbols we didn't see before: a "c" to the left of the numerator, and an "α" or "a" to the left of the denominator.

[full token]

I have blinders on with greek letters

[snow walrus]

OYE is used by CNS also

Open Your Eyes indeed

[coarse dagger]

File size was too big at first so I had to redo it

[full token]

i'm seeing way more in the b/w grain pic on the left. tbh

i'm trying to figure out how i'd even show it, I think it's just discord, or having to do with size, because in your video and when I open in browser it's harder to see what I originally saw, if that makes sense.

in the negative space behind, to the right of the V and in the black patch in the denominator

[snow walrus]

Rob gave reaction👀 to known keywords such as goldegg latin ad astra etc..

[coarse dagger]

Here's the full Green 0&1 bitplanes. I used a "subtract" blend mode

You gotta keep in mind there's so much "noise" in these that there's a lot of coincedences when you're looking at small groups of pixels. Things need to stand out quite a bit for them to be relevant

[full token]

yeah that's what i'm trying to avoid, I think it's just a cognitive bias + noise

deleting that, don't wanna influence anyone, and it makes less sense longer I sit with it

I definitely see the c and the alpha though

why would that be more hidden though? and so much smaller?

and if c=100 in roman numerals, what would alpha be?

1?

[snow walrus]

Oye in spanish: listen up

[coarse dagger]

We never did figure out what these mean at the time.
T1D was all about geometry, so I'm guessing it's something related to that.

I'm gonna take a quick look through La Géométrie by René Descartes as that was mentioned in the same tier

[coarse dagger]

I think OYE = Open Your Eyes is a pretty good shout.

[full token]

tbh before someone said open your eyes, I was thinking One Year Elliptic

[snow walrus]

Yea thats it %99.9

[full token]

as in orbit

[coarse dagger]

Things do often have multiple meanings, so keep on thinking on!

[full token]

wasn't that found in a different clue though already?

Egg shaped orbit

[snow walrus]

"Connect the dots" dots? Stars?

[full token]

constellation

[snow walrus]

Ya

[full token]

have to zoom out to see the trees as a forest, so that makes sense

[sonic mantle]

So I also just noticed this reaction from Rob. He confirmed that there are hidden eggs hidden in irl marketing.

[full token]

any idea about the carrot ^?

[coarse dagger]

Makes me think of a scale, because it's right in the middle of the "equation" on the gun

but idk

[full token]

right, balance

[coarse dagger]

Just skimmed all the equations in La Géométrie. Nothing stood out.

[coarse dagger]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_scale
??? It's a reach for sure

[snow walrus]

How we can combine these into 1 piece

[slender plume]

?

[timid solstice]

damn awesome stuff

[snow walrus]

One tier is gold and the other is egg, on the other hand new tier is just about ques+tion (combine?)

As we couldnt extract any new cipher from question images im thinking is just a reference images

To point

Because we have everything we need

[sharp flame]

We should look at more than gold and eggs

There are other themes that have persisted throughout the whole thing

[full token]

Seek the truth beyond the walls

who's S?

wait

what about a book? or a reference number

[full token]

wasn't it a gold egg?

or in relation to I mean

[sharp flame]

Only like 3 S names so far

[full token]

wait what's the third one again? Scotty, Sofia, x

[sharp flame]

STEAMROLLER lol

[coarse dagger]

SR

[ripe cloud]

Looks like XV________ ⦻
^

[timid solstice]

praise be to SR!
He hath bestowed us with eyes

[timid solstice]

the scale means equals =

XV is 15 in roman numerals
o is the 15th letter in the alphabet

so
o = 0

the same clue we had over and over
0vif0rm

[coarse dagger]

I understand that was the interpretation at the time, but I think there's more to it

[timid solstice]

i think this is most important tbh

the "question" could be "what"

This has to be connected

Lots of clues fit;
Gold
Egg
Time
Russian

[coarse dagger]

<@&1012034066876473384> anyone available?
Edit: TY

[timid solstice]

Also worth $33.3 million

[snow walrus]

we looked similar eggs

especially 3rd imperial

[timid solstice]

yeah its that one

[snow walrus]

all the Rubies? i don't get that part

[elder osprey]

All the rubies in the world is how I interpreted it

This feels like a good clue for tier 3.

[snow walrus]

The dragon princess, granddaughter of the Dragon Emperor Kala Naga, was impregnated by the solar spirit who was visiting the earth. Out of this union, the dragon princess laid three eggs, all of which a hunter took away. The **hunter **accidentally broke the gold-colored egg of the three at Mogok, and the **broken golden egg turned into numerous rubies and gems **(for which the Mogok region is known to the present-day). The **hunter **then **lost **the remaining two eggs during one heavy storm. One egg, in brown color, ended up in a small kingdom in either northern Burma (Thindwe or Tagaung) or Yunnan, and out came a female human princess, who later became queen of that kingdom. The remaining egg, in white color, drifted down the Irrawaddy all the way to Nyaung-U, where it was picked up by an elderly childless Pyu peasant couple. When the egg hatched, Pyusawhti was born.

[elder osprey]

Brown egg = bronze egg?

[snow walrus]

a female human princess came out from brown colored egg

brown eyed girl?

[elder osprey]

Could be

[elder osprey]

I'm with you on this train of thought for T3 though. And let's not forget the T3 url is t3-f

[snow walrus]

@here i need help on this

[elder osprey]

Gold = Ruby

?

[vivid rose]

guys just wait for the game to release, finding clues wont make it happen faster

[full token]

Hey, idk if it's relevant but I just noticed the contestant role colors + embarks are all commodore 64 colors. as well as the arc raiders logo.

[snow walrus]

a pigeon and a dragon?

best quality ruby is pigeon blood ruby

[full token]

The future belongs to the curious.

[elder osprey]

Finding clues and connecting dots is a different kind of game.

[full token]

Neat... https://adventofcode.com/2015/day/7

https://adventofcode.com/2015/day/8 - ooh, matchsticks

[thorn junco]

I don't know if anyone has shared this information but looking for things related to rubies occurred on 06/11/2015 which is the date that appears in the image properties of tfee_quest and tfee_tion I found something related to a ruby called "The Sunrise Ruby" that broke the world record in 2015 for the most expensive ruby in the world and this one comes from Mogok

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

[snow walrus]

how did i miss that date omg

[full token]

nice!!

[full token]

lmao

[snow walrus]

2:25AM what about the time 🤔

THE SUNRISE RUBY

In the early morning hour,
just before dawn, lover and beloved wake
and take a drink of water.

She asks, "Do you love me or yourself more?
Really, tell the absolute truth."

He says, "There is nothing left of me.
I'm like a ruby held up to the sunrise.
Is it still a stone, or a world
made of redness? It has no resistance
to sunlight."

This is how Allah said, I am God,
and told the truth!

The ruby and the sunrise are one.
Be courageous and discipline yourself.

Completely become hearing and ear,
and wear this sun-ruby as an earring.

Work. Keep digging your well.
Don't think about getting off from work.
Water is there somewhere.

Submit to a daily practice.
Your loyalty to that
is a ring on the door.

Keep knocking, and the joy inside
will eventually open a window
and look out to see who's there.

[thorn junco]

I couldn't find anything else related to that ruby occurring at that exact date and time. The only thing is that it was sold for US$30.42 million in the same year.

[snow walrus]

Keep knocking, and the joy inside
will eventually open a window
and look out to see who's there.

knock knock @proud minnow

[hard current]

hah that’s funny rob said something about dragons yesterday

[timid solstice]

Hi !
thats not the aim of this hunt

[tired glade]

Rob also mentioned wanting to get dragons into the game somehow in the Podcast.

[snow walrus]

yea i listened yesterday

[spare olive]

huh?

[formal moon]

fanfir

[spare olive]

gif perms go crazy huh

[timid solstice]

anyway... lets keep this on topic

[formal moon]

fill me in

what we have until now

[timid solstice]

we have lots of eyes yesterday;
#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message

somehow space is relevant

[elder osprey]

Wait, doesn't RockhoundBlack's comment imply that space is not relevant?

[thorn junco]

if we talk about space related to rubies there is something that is the Space Group that in the case of the ruby belongs to the Space Group "R3C" that I think Rob commented about it. Besides there is another mineral that shares the same Space Group and it is the Corundum.

[lament pawn]

what if it’s a constellation? the greeks and romans named a lot of them so it could be both

[full token]

there's a faberge egg called "the constellation"

[snow walrus]

yea its unfinished

[lament pawn]

also the last faberge egg ever designed… as in the final one

could be smth

[formal moon]

i see

[formal moon]

i will have to disagree

more than space i think have to to how the word is use.

[sharp flame]

Space has always been relevant.. it has been a central theme in almost all of the tiers

[formal moon]

after all as far im concern

[sharp flame]

Asteroids, Orbits, Comets, Planets, Constellations.. buncha nerd stuff

[formal moon]

yeah but

i think we just getting really out of the main focus. like how we tide down space with the topic of the game

as far i have seen all the clues pointed out to be game related

so if we had eyes in ad astra

what we know about other than have been use as or as part of the motto of many organizations , most prominently, air forces. It has also been adopted as a proper name for various unrelated things (publications, bands, video games, etc.)

now what does ad astra tell us.

the direct meaning to english is "to the stars"

and it origin was by virgil that wrote in his aeneid "sic itur ad astra" >>thus one journeys to the stars' and also and more important " opta ardua pennis astra sequi" {desire to pursue the high[/hard to reach] stars on wings'}

[thorn junco]

ad astra could be one of the sponsors of the finals, there is a logo that has a design that could fit with ad astra but I doubt they are related

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Sponsors#/media/File:THE-FINALS_allstart-logo.png

that one

[sharp flame]

isn't "Open Your Eyes" like a conspiracy-type phrase?

[formal moon]

could be but the name is allstart unless we just have to use it in latin XD

i was thinking something more like

[sharp flame]

like here

I can see "Open Your Eyes" tying into CNS

trying to open people's eyes

[snow walrus]

its a known idiom

[sharp flame]

well yeah but it's capitalised in this context

[formal moon]

true really similar even in name ALLstart is way similar to ad astra

[sharp flame]

like an abbreviation holds weight

Open Your Eyes, vs open your eyes

I thought before OYE was repeated for the "3=iii" clues in cacoiii

because OYE was three letters

but now Rob has brought it up again, his most recent statement, so IDK

[formal moon]

i mean in spanish OYE mean hey or listen...

is also a acronym for Old Yellow Enzyme....

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message what was misisng?

#easter-eggs message OYE tells me we have missed a link between the passwords

For example, these passwords didn't include numbers in the password: lxxix (79), cacoiii (3), viold (6), evivi(66)

But they included latin equiv.

[neon stream]

I made a similar list a while ago, but didn't get any reaction from Rob. I guess we could try to see why devx's is closer to the answer than mine to get a better idea. Not sure if that'll help

[hasty anvil]

that's a good point

unless he just missed it or thought it was too early to give us eyes lol

[hasty anvil]

lxxix is gold, cacoiii is egg shell, gold shell maybe?

[full token]

dragon constellation is a sponsor; draco?

[hasty anvil]

I've had this thought before. the tip of pyramid's were coated in a 'gold shell' of paint, so it looks similar

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

[formal moon]

how LXXix is gold ?

[hasty anvil]

atomic number of gold

79 IS gold, 1064 and 5f137s2 aren't as closely related

[snow walrus]

whats in here

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message this shows a gold tipped pyramid, also known as pyramidion

'It's a piece of art', are we looking for art

Leonora Carrington; Ab Eo Quod, from 1956

[snow walrus]

will we get philosopher's egg 😄

[formal moon]

why we bring a leonora carrington >?

[snow walrus]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiranyagarbha
means "golden womb"

cosmic egg

brahmanda

[hasty anvil]

Maybe next level focuses on different types of eggs lol

[hard current]

If I’m honest, I think at this point it’s less about gold and egg

and more about the actual numbers

that’s my guess as to why rob highlighted my list

we take the gold clue numbers, and the egg clue numbers, and do something to them

not entirely sure if that’s right but that’s my guess right now

[hasty anvil]

I think it's something to do with the pure latin passwords we have

[hard current]

why else would rob throw random numbers in certain spots, like why did vit3llus HAVE to have a three? why did he use the atomic orbitals of mendelevium that has numbers when he could have chosen a simpler gold related answer with no numbers? why did caco3 have to be cacoiii? there’s gotta be a reason behind it

[full token]

uhh btw before I forget, this has been bothering me but it was on the nose so I left it alone to delve into other things

for T1F

but that wasn't discovered until 2022

[hasty anvil]

Just a thought, what if the theme of space is telling us there is a space in the password lol

[full token]

no spaces literal, I don't think, but maybe a gap. hyphen's could potentially be allowed or something else

also what's up with this? is this just a visual bug for me personally in discord?

that's definitely a black hole

they're also not tagged up, and I don't remember seeing that until like 30 seconds ago when I saw them pop online lmao. i'm also about to pass out though and feel literally insane from staring at this all for hours on end

maybe the reference to black hole was just to say "don't fall down a wrong rabbit hole cause it's a supermassive time sink"

[hasty anvil]

I'm not sure who that account is

I've noticed Rob's eyed a lot of 'What is' questions

[full token]

quid est

[hard current]

BlackOrange
Black0range

is that a 0 or an O

I think it’s a 0

[hasty anvil]

0 yeah

[hard current]

that’s.. gotta be connected to this right

or am I also insane

[hasty anvil]

maybe a bit of both haha

[hard current]

my guess is it’s a new dev that hasn’t changed yet

there’s a PSN tied to it

[hasty anvil]

These are the common themes we need, + 'What is..'

[snow walrus]

this is mentioned after rob sent that message

#easter-eggs message

[spring tusk]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_BH1

It is a hole after all

That's from a while ago tho

[elder osprey]

A gold ? and a white ? A star and a black hole.

Man I have such a hard time finding tangible connections. The symbolic and philosophical connections are so much easier

Thinking about OYE in regards to Rob's comment. OYE=Open your Eyes right? Could it have something to do with the letters o and i?

[misty stag]

Hey yall I did A thing as sort of a one off and is this something yall have found?

Im sure yall probably tried this but still

[turbid tinsel]

intresting that it shows the finals logo in the tab

[misty stag]

That's what I thought so maybe this is either something that comes in the future or theres a login we need

Most likely the prior but still

[snow walrus]

it's owned by embark yea

[sonic mantle]

OYE could also just be Spanish for ‘listen’

[snow walrus]

http://iseul-t.com

[misty stag]

Im trying to figure out if maybe the page is fake and there's something else there but Idk

Also yeah the sponsors on the finals page are clickable obv

[elder osprey]

I think it's probably an unrelated admin error. It's probably supposed to forward to the homepage like iseul-t.com

What does iseul-t sell? Are they supposed to be a clothes brand?

[misty stag]

Were they the jump pad manufacturers?

[elder osprey]

oh ok

[snow walrus]

fashion

clothing etc

[snow walrus]

that's Volpe

[misty stag]

Ofc thank you

[pseudo ginkgo]

little late to the egg hunt, but have the sponsor web pages already been scrubbed?

[misty stag]

https://volpe.com

Umm

strange

[pseudo ginkgo]

lmao, poopli

[sonic mantle]

I don’t think embark owns that domain lol

[elder osprey]

just did found that too lol. "I think that if you have found your way here, you know what this is"

[misty stag]

Well ig we cant rule it out

Im certainly not brave enough to give this thing my email lmaoo

Man, I can tell why yall get sucked into this

[full token]

thank you, I guess i just didn't want to let go of the fact that it wasn't discovered until after he made these, as far as I can see but. It seems too direct, outside of the context of time

[snow walrus]

this is not owned

[full token]

for sure, at this point i'm just going through the entire spreadsheet, trying to see if there's anything to be gained for the overall picture.

[misty stag]

Shame lmao thought I was onto something smh

[full token]

it's that one probably lol

[elder osprey]

@full token You brought up Dragon Constellation Studio. That seems like a strong connection with clues Rob's been dropping. But nobody picked up that thread. https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Sponsors#/media/File:THE-FINALS_Dragon-Constellation-Studio-Logo.png

[full token]

we've just been staring pretty hard

yeah idk, I have like a 100 tabs open, and 25 of them are things like that. I just don't know what's worth bringing up/trying to scroll back and reference everything to at least TRY and make sure it hasn't been brought up before

;_;

...He said he wanted Dragons in the game

[elder osprey]

And there are sponsers everywhere

And Ad Astra

[full token]

I kinda have an insane lore plotline based off of all of this, but I definitely want to see more of this unfold first lol

[elder osprey]

Thuban (α Draconis) was the northern pole star from 3942 BC, when it moved farther north than Theta Boötis, until 1793 BC

[full token]

part of me thinks this is more literal too.

[elder osprey]

yep. It's all literal except for when it's not

[sonic mantle]

It also says it’s was a binary star. We’ve seen a lot of binary around.

[elder osprey]

http://www.ianridpath.com/atlases/urania.html followed the draco page here. 32 cards featuring 79 constellations. hmmm

[elder osprey]

Also you really have to gain knowledge before you can make connections. I think you just kinda gotta play around in the soup of information and start internalizing information until something starts making sense. Except for when there's challenging code breaking or image scanning moments. I haven't been around here long enough to see the results of that approach though.

[full token]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/DXZ

[misty stag]

So does volpe just own those specific jump pads?
https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Volpe

[full token]

maybe DXZ created them and Volpe as a sponsor paid to slap their logo on it? idk lmao

or one is the jump pad as a device and one is the Triangular ones in the map

[snow walrus]

i dont think jump pad works by pressure tech 😄

[jade citrus]

explain how they work then

[full token]

yeah probably. was thinking about it being a pressure pad or something when I was staring at this:

trying to figure out what the carrot was

probably a stretch/just wrong

same w/ this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles

and the 6 degrees of freedom apartments

just coincedence or w/e

[snow walrus]

next hunt is to figure out this

it says on the wiki
Trampoline-like deployable; allows for high jumps

[jade citrus]

My point is that you can't possibly know the mechanics by which a piece of fictional technology works, so there's no point in shutting down other peoples theories on it.

[snow walrus]

shutting down? Why my thought blocks someones theory i didnt say you are all wrong, i said "i don't think" that doesnt mean i'm right.

if still anyone get offended i'm sorry

[sharp flame]

nah you're totally good man

like 80% of the stuff we come up with here is straight up incorrect sometimes haha

[sharp flame]

btw have you seen what this clue means?

[snow walrus]

XV == ∅
15 = ∅ maybe

[sharp flame]

yep yep! the 15th letter is O. the clue meant O = ∅

[full token]

That makes sense, I saw that too. There was still the (c)/(a) that someone found in the image later on I was thinking about, idk if that's anything, but just exploring everything I guess

just trying to help and catch up. I'm probably making it way harder on myself somehow. Hopefully not making it harder on anyone else/also just going off of the spreadsheet, I feel like there's a lot of stuff that hasn't been updated yet maybe. It's uhh, a lot of information. Kinda overwhelming, but not too much.

don't think I can find much else via context/logic/association though, so probably gonna go back to watching. maybe i'll start later with the PS/AE on images just in case, even though it seems like that's been went over. I still can't see how that "beautiful list" of passwords is going to connect yet.

[hard current]

YO? WHERED YOU GET THAT

I been scouring google for irl pictures of this stuff but I couldn't any

[sharp flame]

you just need a bit of imagination

and a lot of time

[hard current]

wait... 23.12.23

december 23 2023?

[sharp flame]

there's no other way to read that date 😭

[hard current]

should we tell everyone that's the release date

though I don't see why they'd put that on there if it... wasn't the release date....

but then someone would've seen this by now and figured out that's the release date no? surely someone in the discord would have seen this bus somewhere...

[sharp flame]

this is my pic

[hard current]

... you took this?

[sharp flame]

yeah sure

[hard current]

-_-

yknow is the part with nexon... clipping over something

I stg fish

[sharp flame]

what the hell are you talking about

that's how the ad is on the bus

[sonic mantle]

What??? where and how?

[sharp flame]

it overlaps the line

[hard current]

bro you say "yeah sure" that makes me think you edited this pic for funsies and are teasing lmao

[sharp flame]

Near london, 10 mins ago ((is where/when I made it))

[hard current]

@sharp flame well if this is real then you should just go post it in the main chat and not say a word to explain

[sharp flame]

100%

get striked by CMs

[hard current]

you thinkt they'd actually strike you for it? I mean, it's on a bus in the middle of the city fish would in fact get a strike for this

[sharp flame]

and it's real information, not tampered with, as well!

[snow walrus]

dont upload that in main chat haha

[hard current]

main chat would probably have an aneurism

well I'm assuming release is december 23 then fish is a top tier bozo

[sonic mantle]

Someone is going to lol

[hard current]

anyways... back to ee hehe

[solar glade]

[sharp flame]

dw Spear I won't let this get out of hand

[sonic mantle]

Well, Rob seemed to mention that there would be easter eggs hidden in these things. Do you guys notice anything there?

[solar glade]

i was never worried

[sharp flame]

pls dont look closer it's really shoddy

[hard current]

SON OF A

[sharp flame]

those watermarks were a b to remove

[sonic mantle]

bro

[sharp flame]

shoulda just chosen an image without that stupid "alamy" plastered all over

but still

I wonder how far it would go in main chat

[hard current]

tbh it's not bad, is it actually clipping under the nexon part? if not, it's at least points out that it looks fake, that line on the bus would probably be where a decal ends

[sonic mantle]

I was convinced for a while.

[hard current]

LMFAO

you better hope no one happens to come into this channel rn

[sharp flame]

the word must spread

[timid solstice]

??>?

[sharp flame]

is that some easter egg reference

?? > ?

[timid solstice]

should add a qr code tbh

[sharp flame]

nobody scans QR codes in public anymore

[timid solstice]

@elder osprey @formal moon he only eyes correct things

[sharp flame]

yep, just because Rob 👀 1 or 2 aspects does not mean we should ignore the other parts

[sharp flame]

especially if those parts are in a message which he 👀d as well

[quaint wing]

I was just saying that since the amount I've learned about all of those since being in this chat is incredible.

[sharp flame]

Viattsta did you just get summoned from a screenshot of your message 😭

[quaint wing]

Glad it became useful. ahhaha

Just opened the channel during some downtime at work and saw me

One day I'll change my name back, until then, this is a symbol.

[glossy pike]

no

[glossy pike]

it's well made

[jade citrus]

wait guys I think I see some letters in the noise/s

[sharp flame]

could this be a release date?

[spark dagger]

oh shit

[slender lodge]

ive seen this type of stuff before from embark i think it may be something

[hard current]

😭

[hard current]

no swa don't

[sharp flame]

the people want news

[slender lodge]

where did you get this from btw

source?

[tribal raft]

In ez language what date is?

[hard current]

HOOKLINE AND SINKER

[snow walrus]

fish you should put a warning lmao

[slender lodge]

ohhh

[spark dagger]

i was on that bus actually, can confirm

[jade citrus]

let me make a wiki page for this real quick, "The Embark Bus Mystery (RELEASE DATE??) [REAL]"

[slender lodge]

they're missing

the original looks more misleading than the edited onme

[hard current]

I had the same thought lmao it looks even more photoshopped

[snow walrus]

no i don't want to count of a's ofc not

[sharp flame]

hush hush children

OYE.!

surely the image will show up whenever someone goes back and searches key terms

[quaint wing]

You're evil.

Some new hunter is going to show up, see this and try to decipher something, lmfao

[snow walrus]

maybe end of the EE-hunt we can make some for the team

[hard current]

can't wait to hear about this for the next 2 years, or however long this hunt takes

[snow walrus]

from EE-hunters with love

[jade citrus]

once we finish the EE hunt we can make a hunt for the Embarkers to do, reverse the roles

[timid solstice]

finish ahaha

[sharp flame]

they're chuckling knowing that will never happen

[hard current]

byzantine will be at the center of it

[jade citrus]

yea this

imagine if someone hid some EEs in the wiki

that would be craaazy... 👀

[timid solstice]

[sharp flame]

repost you say?

[daring bluff]

i’m probably overthinking it but what if the meatspace is actually real life… i thought it was interesting when the commentators in the first OB highlights video actually referenced the open beta itself. like breaking the 4th wall. in the past they’ve only said things referencing highlights in general, but now they’ve said specifically- highlights from “our open beta.”

[sharp flame]

so not fake real life but real real life

[daring bluff]

but like, they are in the open beta, so they don’t get to reference it😭

[daring bluff]

[sharp flame]

maybe THE FINALS is also in "beta" canonically

[daring bluff]

yeah that’s sort of what i was thinking

hmm

[sharp flame]

good idea

we'll have to see

[daring bluff]

and like it’s live development and live service is actually the development of the lore in real time

seems like a cool concept

[sharp flame]

bugs features

[daring bluff]

but i’m probably overthinking it

yeah haha

[sharp flame]

the bugs are there to increase the immersion that you're in a game show

[daring bluff]

exactly

[frosty agate]

No actually you might be right

[solar glade]

not really, i’ve seen the theory before — very meta way to treat the game updates. let’s see

[snow walrus]

Btw im reposting this update as you may missed

We have a clue from ques+tion

[quaint wing]

We found the metadata with the OG date created and the update date, but we haven't been able to find much with it.

[snow walrus]

Yea rob gave the ruby hint already so that clue didnt much help but Sunrise Ruby

[upbeat ridge]

How it goin

[snow walrus]

Cr+3 is responsible from red color of ruby

What about golden color

[hard current]

father rob talked to me yesterday he ACTUALLY talked to me

I'm never washing my keyboard

[upbeat ridge]

Wdym

[sharp flame]

😭 LMFAOO

why are you guys identical

[junior swallow]

meatspace IS real life, as explained on the lore page on the wiki

[neon stream]

Not sure if that's correct. I think "meatspace" is used to refer to the "in-game real life", not the actual real life
It might sometimes be used to refer to the actual real life as a joke

[hard current]

he's my twin fr

but yeah @upbeat ridge scroll up to lat night rob was in here

[snow walrus]

Basically you can search with keywords from: and in:
Its easier than scrolling

[coarse dagger]

Anyone know why THE_FINALS_HappyNamaTama (#official-art message) was analyzed and discussed in the channel, but namatama_xmas_2022 (#official-art message) doesn't seem to have been?

[quaint wing]

Probably because Dusty posted one, and Rob posted the other. I'd expect robs to be littered with clues in every single golden flake, but Dusty's just trying to live.

[coarse dagger]

Dusty posted both. Rob posted the tranparent bg versions which never have any clues AFAIK

[quaint wing]

Ahhhhhh, nevermind me then.

[formal moon]

I think and this might be wild

[coarse dagger]

A furthurance of the theorm "I think therefore I am"

[formal moon]

Haha. ._.

[hard current]

is this rob in disguise

[formal moon]

Anyway that arc riders is the meat world

[hard current]

what

[quaint wing]

I've 100% been in this channel too much because that actually makes sense.

[formal moon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quaint wing]

Arc riders is the world everyone lives in, the finals is their tournament/VR entertainment.

[hard current]

I'd think you were a rob plant if you didn't have visible chat history

[formal moon]

Entertainment for the sponsors

Otherwise why they sponsors you...

[coarse dagger]

I mean we know they share the same universe and THE FINALS is a VR game show, while ARC Raiders is a distopian hellscape, so I though that was a given.

[snow walrus]

Raiders vs hunters

[haughty vector]

i had to do a triple take

[snow walrus]

Maybe one of is cns

[formal moon]

idk but for me clear as day when i saw the military helmet in the finals and this image

[upbeat ridge]

For some reason its hard for me to search for robs messages

[hard current]

type rob_embark

[quaint wing]

from: rob_embark

[hard current]

my bad mixed it up lol

[quaint wing]

He changes his name here and there to make it harder. lol

[upbeat ridge]

Omg that helps so much

[formal moon]

well back to topic so he said that we missing something in that list

[hard current]

check my message right after that he reacted to

[formal moon]

and i think is the same what a another guy said

[hard current]

I was missing a 6 in the last password

[formal moon]

he are not putting all the number there

1064
lxxix (79)
5f137s2 (51372)
0vif0rm (00)
cacoiii (3)
vit3llus (3)
viold (6)
evivi(66)

but i dont thing it was only that

otherwise it will be solved....

[coarse dagger]

Let me give a few search tips.
When searching for something in a specific tier look at the date the #official-art was posted and use the after: filter. (This will not work prior to T1B, as the #official-art channel had not yet been made and the images were posted there later)
If looking to see what people found in the image use the has:image filter.
To see what users without embed perms might've found you can alternatively try the has:link filter, as they may have included an imgur (or similar) link.

Oh, if using the after: filter, be sure to switch the results sort from new to old

[unkempt badge]

Now we just need Discord to add search filters for roles and reactions

[unborn pilot]

does Nama's crown match any real life crowns in particular

i noticed it has a giant ruby in the middle

and two yellow/gold egg shaped stones on each side

[jade citrus]

https://wiki.bfee.co/index.php?title=Battlefield_5/Tributes_to_Rob

o7

[neon stream]

That's cool!

They called him Doctor Rob? 😂

Saint Rob is better, quite an upgrade too 😂

Why Doctor? 🤔

[jade citrus]

support main

lmao idk

[neon stream]

Maybe he used to sign his messages with _.. ._.

😛

[unborn nimbus]

?

[summer flare]

imagine if each CM had there own easter egg in game, for example the duck that crashes the church is Momo

Each CM does have a distinctive character.

[hushed scarab]

agreed we need this

[summer flare]

unless its aleady in and we dont know

[elder osprey]

nothing on reverse image search. Gonna have to do it the old fashioned way

[hidden nacelle]

if i remember correctly, Justinian I, wore this crown

[unborn pilot]

okay yeah, that looks by far the closest to what i've seen

good work

ruby in the middle, but the 2 yellow egg shapes are blue here.

i know Rob's not worried about copyright from a dead Roman guy, so i wonder why it's not the same color order, but the shapes do look right.

something i noticed. 0vif0rm was done in T1D 2 months prior to these clues being posted again for some reason: "pair" and 2 "o" again.

i wonder if the final date we need has a pair of 0s maybe

what @hard current said and got eyed makes me think we need the right numbers from each maybe.

and there are clues to possibly how many times those appear throught the whole puzzle, and then reinforced later.

[coarse dagger]

Ah, just found this a week after the image was posted:
#easter-eggs message

Correct, no EE in the xmas NamaTama... ._.

[quaint wing]

That's only xmas namatama though.

He didn't say anything about the other one!

[coarse dagger]

The new years one has known clues

https://thelulzy.github.io/TF-EE-quartz-obsidian-vault/T1D/THE_FINALS_HappyNamaTama_2023

[hard current]

aye yo is this yours, don't dox yourself king

[coarse dagger]

Not sure if I can even change that. Let me see ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hard current]

I think you can in github, go to settings -> pages -> custom url

I thinkkkkkkk that might work?

[jade citrus]

trying to add up these numbers

1064
lxxix (79)
5f137s2 (51372)
0vif0rm (060)
cacoiii (3)
vit3llus (63)
viold (60)
evivi (366)

53067
seogt

[hard current]

seogt?

[jade citrus]

leet

[hard current]

ah

[jade citrus]

maybe if I add the correct numbers the sum will be a word

[hard current]

try adding all the gold together and all the egg together

two numbers

[summer flare]

this chat is wild lmao

[quaint wing]

Add ABC and DEF

Not the viold and evivi

But the others. Sprinkle in the viold and whatnot if it doesn't give something coherent

[jade citrus]

i messed it up

[hard current]

wait

ah ok

[jade citrus]

A+B+C = 52515

AxBxC = 4318124832

yeah I can't seem to get anything coherent

[quaint wing]

What if you sprinkle in the ABC to it?

So 52575 = LIIDLXXV

I'm spitballing and grasping at straws 😦

[jade citrus]

i dont know if VIOLD would be 60 or just 6

or maybe even 6050

[hard current]

I would take out the extra interpretation and try that

[jade citrus]

maybe convert from leet to words

1064 (ioga)
lxxix (79 [tg])
5f137s2 (sfietsz)
0vif0rm (oviform)
cacoiii
vit3llus (vitellus)
viold
evivi

[hard current]

1064
lxxix (79)
5f137s2 (51372)
0vif0rm (00)
cacoiii (3)
vit3llus (3)
viold (6)
evivi(66)

so just this

the idea that the vi’s and o’s in the words would be clever but I don’t see anything out of it rn

[jade citrus]

so A+B+C+ABC = 52521 (szszi)
and D+E+F+DEF = 72 (tz)

[quaint wing]

Why does every fiber in my being want it to be sun tzu

[jade citrus]

total: 52593 (szsge)

sausage?

[hard current]

that’s the answer man can’t believe it

it’s been in front of us this whole time!

sausage

[jade citrus]

eggs and sausage = morning breakfast???????????????

real

[quaint wing]

THE GOLDEN CORRAL?!?!

[hard current]

holy shit we did it guys! /s

[jade citrus]

this is the closest thing we have so far I think

and also Latin

and "what is"

[coarse dagger]

Multiple comments seem to suggest it was known that 007.jpg had a clue:
#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message

I think the message which was eyed to confirm it contained a clue may have been deleted? Or maybe this post someone deleted because @sharp flame corrected them?
#easter-eggs message

This is why we don't delete posts folks! It's ok to be wrong!

[brazen drift]

hows the hunt the hunt been today?

[coarse dagger]

I can't seem to figure out why everyone is convinced that image had a clue ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[faint rivet]

That’s right!
I’m always wrong, but it won’t stop me from seeking out the truth.
I WILL reach The Finals!

[full token]

I turned my monitor on to this and lol

[coarse dagger]

AHA! Think I figured out why:

Rob 👀d the copy of the image in #official-art

5f137s2 (51372)
0vif0rm (00)
cacoiii (3)
vit3llus (3)
viold (6)
evivi(66)

go go gadget steve!

thought that would work

maybe I was missing something else besides that 6 at the end?

[coarse dagger]

Did we ever find out why this was titled "a_friend_u_missed"?
Did we overlook a URL we were supposed to find somewhere??
Or were we just "missing" Namatama because it had been just over a month since the last Nama art? (which seems like a pretty short time)

[tulip matrix]

I always miss nama

[hard current]

gonna try and see what all can be made with every password

[hard current]

there is something hidden in the 404 that pops up in invalid results

no one ever figured out what it was tho

#1178771386089623593

[coarse dagger]

I don't see compelling evidence of anything hidden there TBH

[hard current]

not the thing in the hand either?

[coarse dagger]

Could be, but also could just be the center of the hand, the smallest point in a lighting gradient

[coarse dagger]

Ah, I wonder if it's referring to the missing 0s that we didn't find (or couldn't find) in HappyNamaTama_2023!
The zeros are present in a_friend_u_missed

[hard current]

wait

rob made a big ass hint the other day

[full token]

about your list, no?

[hard current]

#easter-eggs message

and then he eyed two things that both started with “what is”

game show, jeopardy

[full token]

Dragon Constellation, there was the black and gold satin jackets with a Dragon on the back

see your point with "what is" and jeopardy. Shoutsout to Alex Trebek

[full token]

do you think that there's any significance in the fact that you had to change the PW's, except the first one? Err, like pulling out the roman numerals and converting them to integers

[hard current]

yeah that's why I skipped over it, felt like I was just reaching for it, rather than it jumping out at me

so this rarely happens but I can't delete the u from out in front of the character, happens usually with languages that don't follow western "read left to right" convention

N'Ko (N'Ko: ߒߞߏ) is an alphabetic script devised by Solomana Kanté in 1949, as a modern writing system for the Manding languages of West Africa. The term N'Ko, which means I say in all Manding languages, is also used for the Manding literary standard written in the N'Ko script.

doesn’t seem to go anywhere right now…

• 3 in base 64: Mw==
• 3 in base 64: Mw==
• 6 in base 64: Ng==
• 66 in base 64: NjY=

damnit it was a smart way to go but I’m blind

[hard current]

coincidentally, Nu is the 13th letter in the greek alphabet, and M is the 13th letter in the english/latin alphabet

can confirm nko script is written right to left

N’Ko text is written right-to-left in horizontal lines. Unlike other RTL scripts, such as Arabic and Hebrew, numbers are also written right-to-left.

…maybe

4601
97
27315
00

doesn’t seem likely though

eh nko is probably a dead end

I thinkkkkk speculative? can’t confirm that tho

hey on a side note, uhh

so meatspace = irl, but everyone would rather spend their time in VR

they make this game show

has it ever been specified anywhere, for or against, if the contestants signed up on their own accord?

yeah it's free to play and you win cash 🙂

i'm gonna keep it real, I stared at all of the clues for like, way longer than i'd like to admit

it's really hard to parse anything from that, even though "we have everything"

[brazen drift]

are we sure there isn't any more clues to be had via images?

[jade citrus]

usually the namatama images are supplementary to the main clues for that tier, "a_friend_u_missed" might just mean that its highlighting a clue that was overlooked

[full token]

someone found something new last night so I figured i'd ask

who is a person we missed?

[hard current]

what is gold
what is egg
what is meatspace
what is…

[full token]

we missed the ruby clues

[hard current]

my guess is ruby is tied to the diamond clue

[coarse dagger]

Yeah, I think that's basically the conclusion I came to:
#easter-eggs message

[full token]

did we go back and find the connections for the ruby clues? or just settle with that rob helped point out that fact and move on from there?

I think so

I consider r3c figured out

[coarse dagger]

Rob told us we had everything we need, then proceeded to drop a bunch of clues. I'm guessing those are bronze, silver, gold, diamond, (ruby?) clues, or clues for something further on, and not necessarily clues toward the current tier. But ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My guess, latin is the common theme to FIND the answer, not necessarily the answer itself.

I concur

so what can we do with this and latin to find the answer…

@fallen jasper we should probably pin this message seeing as it’s the most direct reference to the clues that Rob has confirmed

[sharp flame]

I feel like it's very apparent though

[pure loom]

The corundum conundrum.

[sharp flame]

given the previous answers

Still, finding out what "goldegg" is for should probably be our priority

[pure loom]

That is the conundrum

[sharp flame]

Either that or the password is goldegg

With a ? related cipher perhaps?

[thorn junco]

So as a summary of everything I found related to the ruby clue Rob gave, it takes us to Mogok (မိုးကုတ်) which is famous for its ruby valley and how it has been mined for years and also the ruby called "The Sunrise Ruby" was mined from there. But in the history of Mogok there is a story that I think was called the naga (the dragon princess), the sun and the crow which is about 3 eggs, 1 golden egg, 1 brown egg and 1 white egg. The golden egg broke and it is said that it is the one that dropped all the precious jewels in Mogok, but the brown egg some versions say that a lion came out and other versions say that a queen came out of a now forgotten kingdom. And the white egg some versions say that it was a crocodile and other versions say that it was a prince who was taken care of by a monk, this prince is Pyusawhti

Now as a theory about Mogok's story of the 3 eggs, couldn't it be that we already have two eggs? We have the golden "?" which could be the golden egg, we also have the white "?" which could be the white egg, maybe we need something related to the brown egg? or as someone said maybe the brown egg is a bronze egg or something related

[quaint wing]

That makes sense, but I'm also tired and my brain is fried. I'll check back for eyes in the morning. lmao

gold egg hidden in the park on monaco somewhere with the password on it angle

[pliant owl]

Im leaning towards something like this being the case as well

I fully expect the most obvious clue to be hidden in the game, like the guitar chord on the whiteboard

[formal moon]

Hmmm

[elder osprey]

can we combine all the rules somehow?
g=6=vi
o=0
e=3
3=iii
and I don't really understand the T1C password, but then also latin and roman numerals

[formal moon]

Kinda short

[elder osprey]

well you'd need something else to apply those rules to

[formal moon]

I say that

Because too sort to be a coordinate

Short for a postal code

[elder osprey]

oh right. I was ignoring all that lol

[formal moon]

It could be time

But I don't think that will lead no were else...

[sharp flame]

T1C password is just the electron config of Mendelevium

that's compression

ahh thank u i couldnt see 300px width parameter 😄

[sharp flame]

this part compresses it

[snow walrus]

yea

[sharp flame]

just remove the ?format=_

and you should get the full res image

It DID look a lot like symbols though, but we're EE hunters.. we see symbols everywhere

anyway I just checked and all the pixels in that image have the exact same "white" colour so no patterns can be hidden there

Quick summary of wtf went on during my absence @sharp flame

What is gold egg has been eyed, right?

[sharp flame]

also this

[sharp flame]

it's this list that we can probably use to find our password

probably ujst means there's numbers in the password

either roman numerals or normal numerals

or maybe a "beautiful list" means the passwords

[balmy fog]

#easter-eggs message

also this

hinting at the mising one

[snow walrus]

there are photoshop layers on this

[sharp flame]

well yeah it's probably the text layer and the x shape

[balmy fog]

prob 3 of them, the text, the x and the dots

[snow walrus]

i'll check the tier logos

[hidden nacelle]

so 8 of them then

[balmy fog]

talking about the list?

[hidden nacelle]

ye

i mean 9

maybe convert each 1 number to a letter? (copium)

[balmy fog]

well if A=0 and so on it would be like

[hidden nacelle]

and then turn them into latin

[balmy fog]

BAGE
HJ

AVIFARM
CACOD
VITDLLUS
GOLD

Don't think it works

[snow walrus]

did these dots exist on earlier locked tiers before you find the password

[balmy fog]

it's compression, nothing's there

imagine Rob's pp has the answer

So i added all of the numbers individually from the passwords except the 0's from 0vif0rm and just added those to the end and got 136500. When doing that in a wiki search it pulled up saturn and one of its moons has a semi-major axis of 136500, labeled XXXV and is named Daphnis

might be irrelevant but figured id toss it up here

[hard current]

wait hold up how'd you 136500?

I added them all last night and came nowhere close to that

[turbid tinsel]

i added the numbers from the golden angle as they were, not all to gether

so 5+137+2

[hard current]

ah... that makes sense

[hard current]

OHH sorry I misread 🙂

[turbid tinsel]

and one of its moons has that axis

[balmy fog]

kinda links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crassula_ovata (commonly known as jade plant) → https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade

[hard current]

wait I came to daphnis before as well

[balmy fog]

You might be on something

Also Myanmar links to Jade (Today, it is estimated that Myanmar is the origin of upwards of 70% of the world's supply of high-quality jadeite)

[balmy fog]

Semi-major axis 136505.5±0.1 km

not 136500

Saturn itslef mentions white and oval, The Great White Spot, also known as Great White Oval,

https://yorkshirefossils.net/en-us/collections/genuine-golden-eggs#:~:text=Golden Eggs are rare fossil,known as “fools gold”.

[snow walrus]

We have golden egg info almost more than chatgpt but still couldn't find the answer

[unborn pilot]

So if 1064 & 79 are clearly Gold & the last 3 are clearly Egg. 5f137s2 stands out as it’s not gold itself, but half of it points to golden angle. As if we didn’t need real gold there at all.

This logic shows up on the whiteboard as it appears to show our level tier structure but skips using 1 clue for the first set of solutions (which was gold). Instead that clue is shown below it with a password like box & “Ra” in it.
