easter-eggs

[hasty anvil]

I think this is it

So flip previous image, then connect

[hard current]

yes but that still doesn’t make much sense to my brain

[pure loom]

There are strange little curved objects neared the armed mannequins on the Practice Range. (rose for scale)

[hard current]

well what’s the previous image in that circumstance

[hasty anvil]

Don’t tell me it’s keep it simple….

[shadow shore]

Are they always there? Weird never noticed them

[pure loom]

Yeah, always there

[hasty anvil]

Previous was either marble namatama or iseult billboard image

[hard current]

why was this an old clue

[pure loom]

They can be shot and change colour, but don't disappear when shot

[hard current]

3 for vit3llus?

[slender sedge]

interesting thing with the background, when playing with filters the left image seems to have kinda solid background comparing to the right one

[hasty anvil]

Not on padlet?

[naive rover]

Update pls

What are we looking at

[hasty anvil]

Some images across tiers are connected, but weren’t solved, that Rob called back to

[naive rover]

Ahh

[hasty anvil]

Trying to figure out old mirroring clues and how to reach them

[slender sedge]

connect what.. where's the x on the egg??

I don't see it

[shadow shore]

Is it because the images of the people had the hidden smoke behind them??

[slender sedge]

I got an evil egg

[naive rover]

Anything in monoco

[slender sedge]

maybe?.. I don;t know anymore 😥

[hasty anvil]

So I think (no idea) there’s a beta symbol on the couples image, a ‘B’ symbol on the image before the couples, that when you connect it draws one of the lines

[hard current]

that’s what I’m wondering, it says previous image but, where do the lines actually come from

[hasty anvil]

Same with a and A

[slender sedge]

I couldn't find b or B T_T

[hard current]

oh so there are symbols on the images themselves that you flip and then draw between and overlay?

[shadow shore]

Woah has anyone had vegas at night when all the lights are off? Is this new or am I trippin

[hard current]

no lights at all?

[shadow shore]

Most of them are off

I can see the night sky really well

[hasty anvil]

If you flip and overlay both images, symbols appear which you can connect lines to. Is my interpretation, but remember this is unsolved and Rob had to show us how to do it

[shadow shore]

I'll post a pic hang on

[valid lichen]

I think so

Isn’t that in turrets any trips

I got that mode yesterday and all the lights were off

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message. This is robs explanation hopefully it’s better than mine haha

[shadow shore]

Was it part of the new update?

[hasty anvil]

Points to 3 kings or 3 sisters (another name for Orion belt) , so a ‘3’ clue for e=3.

[slender sedge]

yeah nah... it's not better lol

[hasty anvil]

I’ll try to replicate it tomorrow

[hard current]

i got work tomorrow but tag me if your big brain figures it out

[shadow shore]

The star sphere was turned off too. If the constellation is in the sky, that's the map condition we want haha

[pulsar mason]

Sphere gets turned off during trip wires

[shadow shore]

Ah true story, I've had tripwires before but I don't think ever in the dark

Oh yeah can anyone make anything of this:

The card has a weird symbol on it. I keep forgetting to post it haha

[pulsar mason]

Yeah all electricity gets turned off, including generators and casino machines

[naive rover]

So, we are near the password

[runic scaffold]

password for what?

[naive rover]

The password to Tier 3

[runic scaffold]

Tier 3 of what?

Ranked stuff?

[naive rover]

Egg hunt

-egg hunt

[runic scaffold]

Do you get anything if you complete tier 3 of the egghunt

or is it just for fun

[naive rover]

Don't know

[runic scaffold]

Do you know where to put the code in?

[naive rover]

-egg hunt info

[runic scaffold]

I'm new to all of this is that's why i'm asking so much

alright

[hasty anvil]

-egghunt

[wet leaf]

Good hunting! 🥚

[naive rover]

Oh

[runic scaffold]

that's cool

But I'm too stupid for this stuff

I'll act like I'm doing something to help though

[valid lichen]

Haha that’s what I do

[runic scaffold]

😎

[valid lichen]

[tired moat]

Has anyone seen that there is a white board that has binary on it?

And it says it equals 7

[naive rover]

Nope

[slender sedge]

oki I think that was a clue to Yolk, which is Yellow, so it's not for tier 3

[naive rover]

Oh

Opps, don't really know my stuff

What are we waiting on

??

[warm lantern]

i know, i did mention that

truuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[hasty anvil]

It is a clue to yolk, but the technique has been used before a few times, so we’re trying to work the technique out

[floral idol]

Since the crew used to be apart of dice, has a mirrors edge Easter egg been found?

[shadow shore]

Which one is that? I had a feeling there would at least be a few references in it. RHB said there's red pipes in vegas that are a nod to Mirror's Edge

[slender sedge]

just FYI, 5 roses are precisely enough to kill the closest mannequin 😄

[shadow shore]

Definitely for something

[naive rover]

Ok, so, figure out how to get 2 people in a practice arena

[pure loom]

Yeah, there are ME-like rooms on the Vegas map

[naive rover]

I can do it

[pure loom]

white with red pipes

[shadow shore]

Goooo on...

[naive rover]

I can do it, I will die

I just need to friend someone

Oceana anyone?

Aussie I am

Hmm yes

[pulsar mason]

Tell us how

[runic scaffold]

By the way, if you throw a gas bomb then a explosive bomb, you will probably deal enough damage to kill someone

I totally helped

[naive rover]

You friend someone then take them with you into the practice match

[shadow shore]

It locks when you have someone in your lobby with you

[naive rover]

What do you mean “locks”

[shadow shore]

It doesn't allow you to click it and there's a symbol of a padlock

To really drive the lock point home

[naive rover]

Oh, ummm

[shadow shore]

But funny you should mention that

[warm lantern]

yall prolly alr found this

[shadow shore]

If you load up a fresh game. Check you recent players, there will be nothing. But if you load into a PR, then immediately exit then check your recent players, there is always someone there for me.

@pure loom Have you seen this? Sharing servers or?

[naive rover]

Huh

I wonder if any other map has flowers

[pure loom]

yeah, I guess it is more efficient for them to have two players on one PR server

rooms next to each other

I wondered about that a while back

[naive rover]

Reach the other

Is our quest

[shadow shore]

Yeah makes sense

[naive rover]

Captain log: loading in
I am in, what now

[shadow shore]

Find the monkey or the constellation Cap'n

[slender sedge]

lol

or 2 more rabbits

[shadow shore]

Haha that too

[naive rover]

What if you drop it on your head?

You can

You can drop it on your head, tested with a posin thing

[shadow shore]

Hey as long as we find it

[slender sedge]

another night sky of Vegas, with the Moon?

[shadow shore]

No stars?

[naive rover]

Where are the roses

[slender sedge]

yes stars

they are just.. not bright

[shadow shore]

Where stars?

[runic scaffold]

No stars = death

if my math skills are correct

To be honest

I don't even know what I'm saying

[slender sedge]

here's a bit brighter

[naive rover]

Anyone, where are the roses

[shadow shore]

Ah yes, stars

[naive rover]

@shadow shore , where are the roses

[shadow shore]

In the Practice range you mean?

[slender sedge]

in practice mode go straight and to the left right after you spawn, there'll be a park with a bench

[coarse dagger]

Previously found, but unsolved

[naive rover]

How to pick up

[slender sedge]

F

[coarse dagger]

Looks like I need to pick back up my image editing again. Too many people are confused about past tiers. 😅

[naive rover]

Can't drop on self

[valid lichen]

Discord compression

[slender sedge]

open in browser

[pale quarry]

is the barcode even readable

[slender sedge]

no

[pulsar mason]

We appreciate your skills ❤️

[shadow shore]

I wondered if by Rob's message, there's a particular vantage point to look at the stars on the night version of the map. You can see the stars quite well, maybe there's another hint we've overlooked suggesting a certain hotel room or something of that nature?

[slender sedge]

that might be a naive question

but were all clues solved from this image? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1100745453206786078/1182374358862282782/RTF_EE-QuickGuide_V1.png?ex=65bbd5ee&is=65a960ee&hm=909120c1bdcab0ca08b3188a18712866c7e57bdf7891c01f1bd59a9a0c92552c&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=980&height=1118

[fresh quiver]

Idk if the QuickGuide wasn’t created by a fellow EE hunter

[rancid ocean]

theres no way they put a barcode sticker in the game and it means nothing

has it been linked to anything yet?

[solar pier]

Anyone seen these? I'm not active on here so idk

On seoul

[shadow shore]

Ye been noted

[solar pier]

Oh alright

[shadow shore]

Still no clue what it means

[solar pier]

Wait

Maybe it helps with the ciphers?

[shadow shore]

Woah I hope so

[solar pier]

Looks like some numbers on one of them

Some are more faint

[shadow shore]

Maybe if we adjust the levels we can see it clearer, I'll give it a try when I'm home if no one can yet

[solar pier]

I'll try something

I'm not a photo editing wizard tho so i might not get it

[fallen jasper]

1S, if there's more, I didn't get it
@shadow shore @solar pier

[solar pier]

Loooooks like there's an 11? Or something like that

[fallen jasper]

Might be an extra I next to the S

[solar pier]

This is all I got

[slender sedge]

I thought it was 19?

[fallen jasper]

Could be

[solar pier]

1911?

[fallen jasper]

Do we have a sample of the font on the clear letters

[solar pier]

Sample? Sorry I'm not well versed in this kind of stuff

[fallen jasper]

Just a picture of the part which isn't faded

[solar pier]

Ah

I don't think so

[slender sedge]

where's 11?

[fallen jasper]

So we can cross-reference the style of the letters and see if it's a 9 or an S, but with your edit, I'd say it's a 9

[solar pier]

Unless you count these

[solar pier]

Definitely a 9

[fallen jasper]

After the 9

[solar pier]

Right next to the 9

[fallen jasper]

Embark adding a legendary M1911 pistol skin into the game when?

[slender sedge]

hm.. those 1s in 11 then would be completely different from the first 1

[fallen jasper]

That's why I had a feeling it was I and not 1 earlier too

[solar pier]

Got this from another pipe

Same numbers

Something like ||

Can't exactly tell but it also might curve and be ((

[shadow shore]

Yeah I didn't get too much different. It was the glare from the lights a little. Maybe we can bust the lights and get it dark then just adjust the levels again without the shine?

[solar pier]

Lemme try and get Seoul again and see

[slender sedge]

could that be Hangul letters?

since it's Seoul

[solar pier]

Is that a language?

Ah

[slender sedge]

yes, in Korea

[solar pier]

I was wondering what those symbols were

[slender sedge]

not lang but writing system

[shadow shore]

They might all require some adjustment, the left or first image here looks like it has 2 dots but one is faint

[solar pier]

Maybe run them through a translator?

I'll see

[solar pier]

Yeah

[shadow shore]

#easter-eggs message

these were the ones I found

Seem to be in a lot of places

[solar pier]

Using a table of Hangul, and I'm not seeing many similarities to the 19 ||, but | does mean i in Hangul so maybe it is "i"

I hope embark adds custom matches before/when they add the next map

Mfw i load into Las Vegas for the 5th time

[shadow shore]

Feel free to add some more if you get them, I'm also not very skilled with image editing though but I'll give it a crack haha

[solar pier]

Me neither so we're goin at this blindly together lmfao

[coarse dagger]

These were first noticed very recently, so you're not too behind!

[solar pier]

I'm finally being able to contribute 🥲

Maybe 194?

[tough hinge]

More than certain that’s behind a wall on Monaco too, destroyed a wall at construction and seen that, it’s on the bottom floor side closest to wooden fence right one of those walls

[velvet narwhal]

The only hidden thing in Monaco construction i know of is a "S Lies" behind a wall. Do you mean this or is it something different?

[fresh quiver]

lol. a german IT newspage has something we would have needed some days earlier 😂 As we found the QR codes.

"Decoding QR codes by hand may be impractical, but it is still an exciting experience. Two developers explain how it works."

just reminded me on the qrs we had found and solved

[tough hinge]

I think so, it was middle of a ranked match so i sidnt pay much attention

[earnest wagon]

A friend sent me that article after hearing me talk about QR codes and I had a stab at it. It gets pretty tricky but it was a cool experience. I can see how it could be used to hide info in a ‘broken’ QR.

Also, morning! Not got as much time today, but I’ll try and pick up where we left off with Urania’s Mirror.

[fresh quiver]

was a nice read at golem/heise.
Just funny thats its just days after we needed them 😂

[earnest wagon]

I did wonder if Rob had that kind of reach to add further clues actually…

If NASA announces a new mission out of the blue tomorrow, we’ll know how he earned that sainthood.

[civic trellis]

What does it mean?

[fresh quiver]

not sure yet. Think we are still to solving it. when it is a clue which we dont know yet 😄

[civic trellis]

Thx

[warm lantern]

its a barcode

scan it

[civic trellis]

Any clues on the new skin?

[velvet narwhal]

The should probably be in a Seoul EE thread.

[civic trellis]

Did i just do a stupid?🧐

[fresh quiver]

u tried to scan it? thats what i think your message is idicating

[civic trellis]

Nope

[shadow shore]

Cool, I'll transfer it over.

[fresh quiver]

dont worry. when not even a handheld barcode scanner is working, the barcode wrong 😄

[civic trellis]

Oh ok

[fresh quiver]

or atleast so that a scanner cant read it

[civic trellis]

Maybe the numbers on it mean something?

[earnest wagon]

There’s a thread on it.

[fresh quiver]

yes. thats possible

[earnest wagon]

#1199692820454322306

Seoul EEs

[fresh quiver]

S LIES

anyone just thought about a layed down S?

[civic trellis]

Guessing by the “spaces” part maybe we have to alter it

Like there are some unnecessary spaces

[lofty basalt]

It's true that the size of the white/blank space on the right side above the '0' makes absolutely no sense from a barcode-standard pov, it's way too large

[earnest wagon]

I found another connection (again while sat on the toilet).

Ophelia is one of the moons of Uranus.

Moon VII to be specific.

[fresh quiver]

had a idea while rewatching the video of RHB

#easter-eggs message
"T1E is not THAT hard to be honest, T1F might be a little bit harder... T2ABC & T2DEF are actually pretty obvious and T3 is a walk in the park... I mean we are only on Level 2, and you are still getting a lot of clues... The FINAL level on the other hand, well that is a completely different story... ._. "

a science park in hongkong has a building what looks like a golden eggGolden Egg

[pulsar mason]

I’m not understanding the connection

[fresh quiver]

"T2ABC & DEF are pretty obvious. and T3 is a walk in the park

and its a park with a golden egg kinda

[shadow shore]

Might be connected. But that thing looks like it can walk around

[hot rock]

how does namatama move around anyways?

[pulsar mason]

I imagine they hop around

[hot rock]

oh i was more thinking of levitation

[fresh quiver]

seems to be named "Charles K. Kao Auditorium"

[shadow shore]

Well I can't argue with the fact it looks like a giant gold egg. I guess if we find more clues or connections it will strengthen the lead

[fresh quiver]

rob was swedish right? 😅

these swedens with the golden eggs ._.
https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/solar-egg

[shadow shore]

Boiled eggs

[timid solstice]

this is so cursed

[earnest wagon]

Is the Infirmary in Seoul?

[timid solstice]

yes

[fresh quiver]

almost had nightmares bout that

[earnest wagon]

Awesome, thanks.

[timid solstice]

on the map its noted as the hospital

[earnest wagon]

I'm putting together a padlet, mainly to provide myself some visual clarity after all of last nights breakthroughs, but I'll share here in case it helps anyone.

It's WIP right now: https://padlet.com/52582jbxhw/tfee-tier-3-ywpaq697vit7rc6s

aka 'Urania's Padlet'

[fresh quiver]

maybe post a "reference word" under it. that we can find it easier in the chat later on when we would need it again

[earnest wagon]

Good idea.

[shadow shore]

Make it the password for T3

[earnest wagon]

ch1ck3nca3var5alad

[north glacier]

Has anyone pointed the obvious will all these Official Art? They are big heads, so they might introduce a Big Head mode just like Meteors, Low gravity and Alien Attacks. 😉

[shadow shore]

That'll do it

[timid solstice]

I was thinking about the 3 stars in the couple image, if it is to represent the Alpha Centauri system
I wonder if it is related to The 3 body prolem
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three-Body_Problem_(novel)

[shadow shore]

It says it's on Netflix too haha

But could be, who knows? "Everything is connected to everything else" 😄

[earnest wagon]

Oh... this might be something else...

Does this look familiar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRUmpQzb4Zc

Kinda like the diamond clue, right?

It's a Soft Gamma-Ray Repeater, the first of which was discovered in the same constellation as the first pulsar. The same one linked to the Urania's Mirror stuff.

[fresh quiver]

either i missed something the last days what you said, or i just read uranias mirror the first time 😄
But thats sounds really interesting!

[earnest wagon]

I had a bit of a breakthrough last night.

#easter-eggs message

Well, I hope I did.

No coincidences, and all that.

I'm piecing together a padlet to make sense of it all atm.

[fresh quiver]

oh that. didnt read uranias mirror but read the thing about cp1919 and anser and goose.

but just skipped it mostly today in the morning as I was still too tired. Now i had my 3rd coffee. 😄

a NamaCoffeee would be a nice Emoji too 😄

[earnest wagon]

THIS

[fresh quiver]

roooooooob. we have a question/inquiry

[earnest wagon]

Are those emojis fan made, or dev-made?

[fresh quiver]

I think dev-made

[earnest wagon]

Their artists are on fire. Constantly putting out good stuff.

[fresh quiver]

a completely overtired namatama which is holding a coffee. that would resemble our journey with Tier 3 right now 😄

[earnest wagon]

Namatama trying to ram a square peg into a round hole.

Ramatama.

[timid solstice]

[fresh quiver]

oh god. cowTrauma.
yeah. just had a cowTrauma reading through other eastereggs from another game. (d4)

[shadow shore]

Or for the fellow drummers out there, Tama-Starclassic. Nama on the drums

Tama is a drum brand 😮‍💨

[fresh quiver]

Another of my thoughts:

we know kind of "mirror".
What when it would be referring to mirrors used in astronomy.

How are mirrors used in astronomy?
They use mirrors to collect and focus the light towards the eyepiece

[hard forge]

Going through all the messages is getting difficult day by day.

[fresh quiver]

thats why we offload things even more in Threads i guess

[hard forge]

L2 T3 is not updated often.

[earnest wagon]

I was chasing down a clue for this EE yesterday (the day before, who knows anymore?) and stumbled into another mystery.

The thread went like this:

Jocelyn Bell Burnell -> CP1919 -> Sound was used in the music video for Arctic Monkey's 'Four out of Five'.

I watched that video multiple times, and the stand out thing was a very prominent key to a hotel room with a number on it. Very prominent.

I tried to relate it to anything I could, but came up short. I later searched for the key in the Arctic Monkeys forums and found they were also trying to decipher its meaning. There were some great astronomical ideas floating about considering this hotel is set on the moon.

Turns out it was the birthdate of his dog, or something.

Hours of my life. Gone.

Also I can't get that song out of my head now.

[fresh quiver]

anyone did searched through spotify if rob maybe has a Playlist with all the song clues that weve found yet 🤔

[earnest wagon]

Actually... I can't fully shake the thought that the AM track isn't involved somehow.

The track is called 'Four Out Of Five'. But the lyrics are "Four Stars Out Of Five".

Could just be a coincidence seeing as it's a track on a whole album partially inspired by space (hence the inclusion of CP1919)

Pretty neat, either way.

[earnest wagon]

Don't know how you'd find that. But that would be cool. Worth checking for somehow.

[slender sedge]

what if this is S19II?

[solar pier]

Possibly

[earnest wagon]

Has anyone got a link to the Diamond clue page?

I can't find it at all.

[fresh quiver]

[pulsar mason]

Weird question but are the dots moving outwards from the centre, or are the dots stationary and they’re just being lit up

[fresh quiver]

i think they are moving outwards. as even in a single frame you just can see the lights where they are right then. when u know what i mean

[gloomy anvil]

To me the flickering lights suggest a sort of LED panel that's being lit to appear like an animation

[fresh quiver]

if somethings happens when we would take one side, mirror it ontop of the other side and merge them? dont have the PS skills for that

[timid solstice]

no, the dot pattern is constant across the whole image

the oval scale expanding is almost "lighting up" the dots like they are pixels

[fresh quiver]

good to know for myself.

[earnest wagon]

I'm too deep down another rabbit hole atm, but isn't that how Soft Gamma Ray-Repeaters are detected?

Light echoes from otherwise 'stationary' points?

[timid solstice]

this is the layers set to 32bit and linear dodge add mode

you can see frame 20 is missing so doesnt light up

[timid solstice]

not sure!

[fresh quiver]

there is a album named Soft gamma repeater from/by graze

There are no concidences right?

they also have a album with a rose on it

and again for the date 6 november 2015

5+6 november 2015 were the peak days for the taurids meteor shower

https://www.eso.org/public/images/ann15085a/
this was also released on 6 november 2015.
Its a picture of a gamma ray burst from 27 october 2015.

GRB 151027B occurred on 27 October 2015, in the direction of the constellation of Eridanus (The River).
Its the 1000th GRB. also its about 1.5billion years old (could resemble the 15)

[earnest wagon]

I saw this and tried to do some digging. Is this a specific character depicted?

[fresh quiver]

idk. but i think GRB 151027B could be even more interesting

right now just spitting a few things in that had something to do with the date and resemble something i remember

[earnest wagon]

It's a useful thing to do. Something will stick eventually.

It does remind me that I think I stumbled across something that might relate to the dates on the Bars and Spaces sticker - but I've got so many tabs open and I can't remember what it was.

[fresh quiver]

About 20 tabs open on my work.
whatsapp discord youtube, and then just 17 tabs of searching

[earnest wagon]

Oh, nevermind -it doesn't align.

Just in case though main activity for SGR 1935+2154 was observed - 2020 April 27 at 18:26:20

Ok, it's far from complete - but the padlet I put together has some sort of shape to it now:

https://padlet.com/52582jbxhw/tfee-tier-3-ywpaq697vit7rc6s

One of the stars in Vulpecula is VW Vul.

VW = VVV?

Right Ascenion = 20h 57m 45.07s
Declination = +25° 30′ 25.7″

Just in case any of those numbers line up.

Wait... wasn't the number 88 important somewhere?

This EE hunt keeps leading me to interesting tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MDQfVDSNpw

[fresh quiver]

that tape isnt that bad tbh

[fresh quiver]

wasnt it 888?

[earnest wagon]

Yeah, that was in one of the corners.

[fresh quiver]

just too many numbers to still remember them all 🤯

[shadow shore]

https://tenor.com/view/indiana-jones-unsure-thinking-let-me-think-should-i-get-this-one-gif-16685505

I don't know about constellations of stars, but I think I have an idea if Rob meant the other sense of the word. The group of associated or similar things definition

[fresh quiver]

Is it already time to pray again?

[shadow shore]

Maybe

[hard current]

nooooo

is time to keep thinking

we have a date, pulsars, stars/star categorization, mirror/reflecf, gold, egg, latin

we gotta keep working with what we got

[fresh quiver]

and the hint about randall bell. which we cannot really connect. except its just a bonus hint that jocelyn bell burnell was meant

[shadow shore]

So the 2 question marks being named ques and tion, maybe we're being asked a question? Then once we figure out the question being asked, the answer will be obvious to us and then it's just a matter of combining all the password rules into the solid answer. Or have I lost it 😵

[hard forge]

It's time to solve the triple circle.

[hearty meteor]

i will bang my head against my monitor until it cracks like an egg and the answer drips out

where is the new padlet?

I’m wondering if the “I hear bells in the distance” etc was all pointing to jocelyn bell

[hard forge]

yes I mentioned that before too

then he commented on g type stars

[fresh quiver]

that yes. but not the walk in the park oder the dark night/dar knight,
Thats still curious for me. was it a clue inside a clue inside a clue? 😂

"Calacatta marble is a metamorphosed Limestone that is composed of 99.5% pure calcium carbonate and 0.5% is a mix of other minerals resulting in its unique veining and natural patterns"
It's basically the same as the marble skins that come out in the store. Or have we already talked about this while I was sleeping as standard??

[fresh quiver]

marmor and limestone never got eyed afaik

[hard current]

It doesn’t match anything we have confirmed so far

[shadow shore]

Hmm okay. I just thought the "question" might be what do you get when you mix gold and, well I saw it as "calcium carbonate/eggshells". But yeah it doesn't tie into the whole space and pulsars thing

But the marble/gold skins in the store is a wild coincidence then

[shadow shore]

Yeah true

[gloomy anvil]

No idea if this is worth something since I just spotted it, but

[hasty anvil]

Was it mentioned marble tama had 'Veni Vidi Ludere', similar to our 'Veni Vidi Vici'

[fresh quiver]

wtf?

why is OYE standing there 😭

[gloomy anvil]

I searched "Caesar's question", a bunch of crossword clues appeared, and one of them mentions OYE 😂

[fresh quiver]

OYE.! 😂

but that would be norwegian.

[acoustic canyon]

im just looking into roman things with OYE now and found this

[fresh quiver]

does that sit right under our nose the whole time?
Even i think this OYE might have been planted. idk how. but i think it is

[hard forge]

So everything not from wiki is relevant?

[fresh quiver]

some things are not findable on wikipedia. Did rob stated anywhere that he only used wiki?
think mostly wikipedia is relevant. but I also think there are some excuses where this might not be true.

i will take everything outside of wikipedia with a grain of salt. but some things are just too connected that they cannot be not connected

[hard forge]

okay.

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message Just a bit of progress on this, Rob talks about using the alpha symbol from 'Couple' image, and Beta symbol from 'Guns and Nama' image. Now i'm trying to work out where A and B come from. Alpha symbol is near the guys left shoulder, beta symbol is on the sniper stock.

λ = lambda

In navigation λ is used to denote longitude.

Longitude is the East-West position on the surface of Earth or another celestial body and is measured in degrees.

OYE mirrored = 0 λ E

0 λ E

0 degrees EAST

[earnest wagon]

Only if I get this password.

let’s go

[hasty anvil]

The only thing left is Saint Rob's blessing

[earnest wagon]

At this point I should probably invite him.

[snow walrus]

@proud minnow there is a serious business goin on here, you don't want to ruin a family do you??

[snow walrus]

is there any monkey there (:

[gloomy anvil]

perhaps of the three-headed variety?

[acoustic canyon]

Null Island was intended to help analysts flag errors in a process known as “geocoding.”

[hasty anvil]

A very messy, beginner PS attempt, but somewhat managed to replicate The Alpha Beta symbols and connect it to the center of the nama

I just don't understand where A and B came from

[earnest wagon]

I haven't dove into this part of the puzzle at all, but is there any chance the methods use here relate to navigational charting?

[snow walrus]

there are hidden letters, i found only alpha

3 letters are missing

[earnest wagon]

Basically - I read a ton on navigation, and I need it to not be in vain.

[hasty anvil]

This is my first time. I'm trying to replicate it as Rob said we missed clues from this image, and told us how to work out this mirroring type of clue. So yes it could be a form of navigational charting

[earnest wagon]

Time to break out the sextant.

[hasty anvil]

I'm not sure how we were meant to work it out our self, but mirroring the couples, overlaying it onto 'guns and tama' and placing the beta symbol next to her foot, gives a line that points to the nama's centre

[hasty anvil]

yeah I could only find alpha and beta

[snow walrus]

where is beta?

[hasty anvil]

So alpha is in couples, beta is in guns and tama. seperate images

[snow walrus]

ahh i was checking only couple image

lemme check both

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message his explaination

[hasty anvil]

This should definitely be worthy of eyes if it's correct

[snow walrus]

yea i knew this but didnt understand which one is previous image :p

[hasty anvil]

Yeah i'm pretty sure it's the next image lol

[earnest wagon]

I'm actually reasonably sure that a sextant is part of the solution, for no other reason than they're cool.

I'll settle for an orrery.

Can't say it's going to be pertinent, but if anyone else has found themselves nerding out over some incredible history and science over the course of this EE hunt - I'd recommend the following:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00ZEIZsl5xk

[hasty anvil]

bottom 2 left pixels of couples and keep it simple are exact same

[zenith panther]

hello someone who has no clue what the fuck here. does this end in me getting free in game items

[acoustic canyon]

no idea

[zenith panther]

oh so it’s fun

[acoustic canyon]

[zenith panther]

simplify it for me?

[earnest wagon]

So we're lead to believe.

[zenith panther]

ah that’s cool

#egg-hunt-onboarding

[zenith panther]

i remember when overwatch had the whole year long arg for sombra that went crazy

[hearty meteor]

thsi has been going on for uhh

[zenith panther]

yeah i looked too many words i don’t like reading💀

[hearty meteor]

almost 2 yerars?

[gloomy anvil]

I've learned a surprising amount about ancient history and mythology during this hunt, it's fascinating how information is preserved through stories, scrolls, and the like.

[hearty meteor]

if you read it you'd know that there is a video

[zenith panther]

fair point lemme look

[hearty meteor]

also not very cool of you to ask others to do something for you when you could literally do it yourself but w/e

[earnest wagon]

It's incredible. I get to delve randomly into historical stuff looking for inspiration for work, but this has taken me to new topics I wouldn't have stumbled across otherwise.

[zenith panther]

yeah imma let yall go back to your egg hunting.

idec anymore

[hard current]

then looks like we should do an overlay

[hasty anvil]

this is super interesting

[hasty anvil]

overlay, mirror overlay, rotate + flip, try it all haha

what's interesting is keep it simple lowest border doesn't fully overlap the image

overlaying gives a weird dot here

[hard forge]

finally

[gloomy anvil]

so I finally caught up (a bit) on these two images, and yeah the slice of Keep_It_Simple being underneath Couple is notable

[hasty anvil]

everything else lines up, aside from this one target on the right

like these line up, but the target doesn't

[hard forge]

try matching this.

maybe you get a new spot

[gloomy anvil]

That slice is 356 pixels long

[hasty anvil]

I'm ps beginner, it's not letting me

[turbid tinsel]

Might be irrelevant, but guy brush was tying to save Elaine who was referenced by rob. Found a short story named elaine where it stated "As a child, Elaine is presented with two awards as a “Beautiful Child” contestant"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaine_(short_story)

[hasty anvil]

nothing's jumping out lining up the targets yet

left is targets aligned, right is everything else aligned

[earnest wagon]

OYE could be converted to greek anternatives -

Theta = θ
Lamda = λ
Xi = ξ

I'm digging through lots of geometry and celestial-based stuff at the moment.

Many of these letters are used in maths/science to denote certain things.

[hasty anvil]

I'm really reluctant on greek cause Rob said before he wanted to avoid it

they were sort of close in july to this

fish took the colour numbers of the bottom border

It's so easy to go down a rabbit hole with this.

Yeah, that's listed on the wiki I believe.

It's a cool inclusion.

didn't realise that was a thing now <3

will have to refer to it so I don't spam this place 🤣

Are there already hints for new cosmetics?

[earnest wagon]

Not sure how up to date it is. But I was late to this hunt so I scanned through it and recall seeing it there.

[earnest wagon]

No hints, but the latest stuff on the store looks suspicious and we've been prodding at it here: https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1199692820454322306

[snow walrus]

it's a bit messy around sorry LOL

[earnest wagon]

It's definitely a lot to get into at this point, but if you enjoy puzzles, riddles etc. then it's worth the small mountain of reading to get into it.

Also, you don't need to be great at everything. I often wait patiently for people to dissect any new official art before I get to working on anything that spill out from it.

Just don't be dismayed if a great idea was covered months ago - there's a lot of crossover info flying about.

[main pagoda]

So where y'all at

[snow walrus]

T3
https://reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2

[main pagoda]

I feel stupid that i need a password

How like know if someone figured it out?

[earnest wagon]

I don't know about everyone else, but personally I plan on lighting a road flare and running down the street shouting Eureka!

[hard forge]

That's what we are trying to do from the past 3 months

[hard forge]

After solving T3?

[main pagoda]

Sooooo ya need to get some code or etc from the past tier images in level 2 to even GET acces to the tier 3 image💀

[hard forge]

Yes

[earnest wagon]

Yup, I'll need the exercise by then.

[snow walrus]

you should watch the video almost every FAQ are there

[earnest wagon]

It gets worse. There's a level after this one, and another, supposedly harder EE, plus a bunch of other stuff hidden in-game that may not relate to anything.

[main pagoda]

Idk how even expect to get it right, theres no like clue for a limit ya need or etc lmao

[hard forge]

how else do you think they solved all other tiers?

[main pagoda]

Luck :(? Idk

[fallen jasper]

Insanity

[sharp flame]

luck <3

[main pagoda]

What were the passwords from previous tiers?

[sharp flame]

the good news is we have infinite tries

the good news is that this is a password just like the previous 9 passwords

[fallen jasper]

1064
lxxix
5f137s2
0vif0rm
cacoiii
vit3llus
viold
evivi

[main pagoda]

Ohhh i thought those were usernames of the people who did it right lmO

[snow walrus]

found alpha beta and B, can't find A anyone know where is it? 😄 Couldnt see on padlet

[hard forge]

the fact that every hunter has memorized it 😂

[main pagoda]

But, did it get solved by using ALL previous images, or the 1 before it

[sharp flame]

there were about 4-6 per password

and they would release after the password was solved

[snow walrus]

this is just top of iceberg

[main pagoda]

Idk how to help, am on phone since pc broke so idk like what to do

[hard forge]

Also according to legends, all passwords can be found using the FIRST image only.

[hearty meteor]

just thinking out loud might help

[hasty anvil]

@sharp flame did you work this out?

No but fr the question mark is weird cuz idk how lighting works but if ya darken it the right shadows act weird when its obvs pure white

[earnest wagon]

Yeah, it's dark on the right.

[main pagoda]

Going insane tho about shadows lmao

[earnest wagon]

The background isn't pure white.

It's textured almost.

[main pagoda]

[earnest wagon]

Like an egg.

i'm trying to make a connection between numbers like rob explained A-a and B-b

to draw a cross

This mirroring reminds me of the playing cards in that one video

[earnest wagon]

Gold, Egg, Latin, Space and maybe Mirror

How could we make a pw out of these 5 things...

I think I'm being dumb - the date for the NYT Crossword puzzle was hidden as the image edit date for either tfee_tion or tfee_ques right?

[fresh quiver]

jup

[fresh quiver]

or create or safe. cant remember completely

[earnest wagon]

Was it hidden in one, or both? And if it was one - was something found in the other?

[velvet narwhal]

create date

[fresh quiver]

both

[earnest wagon]

Ah phew.

Somehow that makes me feel better.

[velvet narwhal]

yep the exact same timestamp

[fresh quiver]

#easter-eggs message

there you go with the date

[gloomy anvil]

Rob confirmed the date's relevance a couple of days ago too, before then it was still speculative

[velvet narwhal]

"combind them and you have the password..." ~rob

[hard forge]

From Tier 1A 1B 1C we get gold because the passwords are related to gold properties.
Hence gold was used in T2ABC

From Tier 1D, 1E, 1F we get Egg
which was used for the password of T2DEF

By this logic T3 password should be something related to Golden Egg

[velvet narwhal]

I just host the padlets up to you guys to update them

[fresh quiver]

still think this maybe something too

[gloomy anvil]

we can't edit them 😅 at least not all of us

[fallen jasper]

Yeaah padlet is weird

[snow walrus]

black circles are found/known letters. There should be "A" somewhere on red dot line

[fresh quiver]

dont give rob access to edit it. else out of nowhere a new picture spawns there 🤣

[earnest wagon]

I think Kyne and someone else can edit the main one.

[gloomy anvil]

we just have to poke RHB or Flex4d enough times

lol

[velvet narwhal]

Kyne is Justice

Like Batman and Bruce Wayne

[fresh quiver]

could poke flex on several discords (TFEE & BFEE) 😄 thats easy

[hard forge]

Wait what!

[fallen jasper]

The only way I can make the padlets public without giving everyone admin is setting it public and only allowing a few people to edit it.

https://padlet.com/Kyne

Did it so that this would actually show the padlets instead of just... nothing

[earnest wagon]

Woah... that's blown my mind.

[fresh quiver]

does Justice speak with himself when he wants to talk to kyne?

[fallen jasper]

Am I Justice...

Or Kyne?

if only he would look, everything he needed was right in front of him

[earnest wagon]

I've been pushing down a path that has lead into Astrology - could be related.

[hearty meteor]

if anything i think rob is telling us that we are overthinking it

[hard current]

oh we are

[hearty meteor]

also iirc we were close to the answer months ago

[acoustic canyon]

We always do

[hearty meteor]

someone mentioned that here

[fresh quiver]

would not wonder when this would be get eyed, commented or something.

It's like... you're reading a lot of robs messages just in another wording

[hard current]

all of robs recent messages keep encouraging us to go look in game

[hard forge]

Where are we at triple circle triple meaning?

[hard current]

monaco, “I’m going into the game now hopefully to find more EE’s” “there’s a constellation in vegas”

[gloomy anvil]

I'm sorely disappointed that I haven't found anything inside the chimneys yet

I've only looked in one or two tho

[earnest wagon]

There's a Vega (star) in a constellation (Lyra).

It's right next to Vulpecula and appears on the same card in Urania's Mirror.

Top right of the harp.

[hard forge]

#easter-eggs message

[earnest wagon]

Yup, it's there in the top left.

[hard current]

you wouldn’t believe how deep vega goes

[earnest wagon]

Although granted, there's half a hemisphere to work with.

[hard current]

#easter-eggs message

check this out

@earnest wagon

[hard forge]

#easter-eggs message

[earnest wagon]

Perhaps these point to the card then?

One way to confirm it's that way around, is if there were other constellation name-sakes pointed to, such as the lizard.

VegaVegaVega

[velvet narwhal]

The stars have letters. Could we maybe use this technique here? #easter-eggs message

[earnest wagon]

Possibly, I've been trying to keep an eye on the work being done on those images while pouring over constellation details and nothing has leapt out.

I made a possible connection with VVV being VW.

[velvet narwhal]

We need the name of a golden egg shaped Volkswagen

bruh https://sebeetles.com/golden/

[hearty meteor]

i thought vvv was confirmed to be veni vidi vici

[fresh quiver]

new theory of myself:

3 the radius also resembles the distances to Mintaka, Alnilam and Alnitak.
The bigger the circle the closer it is to us.

[earnest wagon]

Not sure if it was confirmed, but that's the strongest link I've found - probably to make sure we knew Namatama was meant to be Caesar.

[velvet narwhal]

Heres a eyed message: #easter-eggs message

[snow walrus]

yup

[fresh quiver]

Left top: Alnitak 800 light years
Mid center: Alnilam 1500 light years
right bottom: Mitaka 1238 light years

that would also resemble the size of the circles

[earnest wagon]

Oh that's good.

[hard current]

orion’s belt then

[fresh quiver]

think that is also the third meaning he meant yesterday

[hard current]

but why orion’s belt if we also have vegaaaaa

[hard forge]

did we try something with the circumference?

[gloomy anvil]

I mentioned orion's belt after rob posted it but no eyes or confirmation

[acoustic canyon]

if were working off the basis of OYE being 0 degrees east (https://discordapp.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1011929497139953744/1200106118681202699) then the prime meridian is another latin connection and could give us coordinates to a place we need to look?

the 79th meridian could be something as a connection to gold

[civic trellis]

No custom game yet 🥲

But we do what we can

[snow walrus]

^_^There is 1 clue waiting to be found in burrw

[snow walrus]

these are the suspicious sounds i noticed from Announcement trailer

[gloomy anvil]

The second sound (the pew pews) seems so obvious but I've got no idea what it would reference

The whole thing sounds like heli rotor blades and gunshots

[snow walrus]

that one is the least similar to other trailers as well

[hard forge]

"very obvious" we know what it means.

[snow walrus]

space related map 🤔

Season 1 trailer starts with Glamora

what's this red-ish thing 🤔

[fallen jasper]

Doesn't really sound like a rocket engine starting though

[low lichen]

this is the hoodie that has the dinosaur spikes on it on what looks to be a heavy

he’s in motion with a mesh shield in front of him.

[snow walrus]

more like UFO maybe

[hard forge]

I think that pew pew sound is from some old game.

[snow walrus]

okay imma double checking the clip

[hasty anvil]

sounds like space invaders lol

[gloomy anvil]

the only other thing coming to mind rn is a chirp or particular birdsong

[hard forge]

yeah that too

[hard forge]

#easter-eggs message

[jade citrus]

Seoul teaser

[velvet narwhal]

is that where the sound is played?

[snow walrus]

that place is in Seoul??

[gloomy anvil]

sound is at the end during the keyart

[jade citrus]

Its the mall

[velvet narwhal]

thx

[snow walrus]

looks little different

[velvet narwhal]

yeah, probably early concept

[gloomy anvil]

There was also this which is probably Seoul?

[hard forge]

That's in seoul?

[gloomy anvil]

Not to my knowledge, but I'm not sure what else it would be

[lofty basalt]

Kinda resembles the burrw pattern

[quiet moat]

What type of jellyfish is that

[sharp flame]

yeah, Seoul at night looks very similar on the overhead intro shots

though this looks more like one of the out-of-bounds rooftops that you can see on Seoul

[snow walrus]

desert map?

[sharp flame]

ARC Raiders

this was teasing the Alpha announcement

[snow walrus]

ah

[ SEEK THE TRUTH BEYOND THE WALLS !]

EYO OYE?

im throwing random stuff

oh i completely forgot "ONE NIGHT THREE DAWNS, SEE THE SIGNS"

[quiet moat]

Desert storm?

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message

[gloomy anvil]

Alpha Vulpeculae (α Vulpeculae, abbreviated Alpha Vul, α Vul), officially named Anser, is the brightest star in the constellation of Vulpecula.

I'm so lost on the star clues haha

[lofty basalt]

It's because there's not much that actually directly references the stars themselves. But rather names of the people that made discoveries.

Most of the star stuff ends up going down leads that go really deep have a hard time looping back towards stuff that was already there. And there is just so much stuff you can read about when it comes to astronomy 😭

[turbid tinsel]

Maybe this is to get us to look into subspecies of jelly fish like a moon jellyfish ect.

[hard current]

AYE YO

[hard current]

@earnest wagon @pure loom @unborn pilot

how did we not see this lmao

[lofty basalt]

We did see it xD

[hard current]

aesop and latin -> golden goose -> anser

[fresh quiver]

the little fox with the goose

[hard current]

alpha vulpeculae

[turbid tinsel]

I made a reference to this the other day wondering if it was related to volpe

[earnest wagon]

Oh I probably wasn't clear - It's part of the original name for the constellation (Vulpecula and Anser) Anser was the goose in the little foxes mouth.

[hard current]

ah ok

[lofty basalt]

Anser comes up so much from all sides of different threads it's ridiculous

[fresh quiver]

Analysis of the isotopic ratios in its photosphere show that it has a mass less than 1.5 M

[hard current]

the fact that we have clues that once again lead to anser, something also related to aesop, latin, question etc

[fresh quiver]

there is also the pulsar from Jocelyn Bell in it...

[gloomy anvil]

goose...

[fresh quiver]

dumb idea.

both pulsars that are mentioned at Vulpecula have a +21

#easter-eggs message

i mean the 2 images we got put together are question. typically what comes next is the answer or "anser" if you will

[young belfry]

Is that duck an easter egg? They lay nama tama eggs

[jade citrus]

i thought it was teasing Las Vegas

[fresh quiver]

and also the ans(w)er to who laid the golden egg would be goose

[turbid tinsel]

yea i literally thought it was a reference to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

[jade citrus]

same glasses

but we already knew this

fish is just spreading misinformation

[gloomy anvil]

so what's everything that leads to anser?
I'm only familiar with:

• Goose That Laid Golden Eggs -> Goose in Latin = anser
• JBB -> CP1919 -> Located in Vulpecula -> brightest star in Vulpecula = anser
• T3's theme of a question may result in an answer -> anser

[fresh quiver]

Date of both pictures ques&tion.png lead to a crossword from the NYT where quetion 6 is also referencing the goose

[gloomy anvil]

That's mostly where I'm sourcing the Golden Goose fable from, idk if just golden egg would be enough otherwise

[gloomy anvil]

These collectively include:

• Gold
• Egg
• Latin
• Space

which are the only 'truths' Rob ever eyed

[turbid tinsel]

anser is also the name of a poet mentioned by ovid

from rome

[velvet narwhal]

dont forget that rob also made MANY "3" hints

[gloomy anvil]

A password struck me just now that I was actually super confident in...

alas

[turbid tinsel]

theres also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygnus_(constellation), which references the goose picture on the anser wiki

which also has an X type constellation

and we did just get a pirate reference

[turbid tinsel]

there is also Gamma Cygni which was derived from the Arabic صدر ṣadr "chest" which would be at the center of the X

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

[earnest wagon]

This is correct, but I think it more squarely points to the old name for Vulpecula being Vulpecula and Anser and therefore further points to the old charts a'la Urania's Mirror

[gloomy anvil]

Yeah, I'm just now catching up and realizing how much points to anser

and the mirror

the star clues have mostly been lost on me till now

[earnest wagon]

It's chaos - but here's my work in progress if you haven't seen it yet: https://padlet.com/suitablyodd/tfee-tier-3-ywpaq697vit7rc6s

[gloomy anvil]

I checked it out, well organized! the T3 padlet could do with a fresh coat of paint...

[earnest wagon]

Haha, I've been given access to alter it, but I'm not sure how well my style of mapping this out will gel with everyone - I'll hopefully have some time tomorrow to make some edits and add anything obvious that's missing.

I mainly made my own to try and organise my thoughts rather than document it.

My main aim was to try and figure out where the 'end' is. There's a lot of circular clues that come back around on themselves making the direction the clues are pointing in hard to fathom.

Especially seeing how heavily linked certain topics like astronomy and the greek pantheon are.

Current theory is that, based on the VVV.png and Discord text messages we were being pointed towards Urania's Mirror, and not any of the stuff we'd already discovered that falls out from that.

For instance, we already had Vulpeculpa mentioned, and plenty of Goose stuff too. But we still got mirror hints and mention of lost captains and holes.

Therefore I think we're looking either for a password linked directly to Urania's Mirror or something that it points squarely towards that will make sense in the context of other clues.

[fresh quiver]

tbh until today noone tried to mirror goose in every way 😅
just tried some but not all

[earnest wagon]

That's a good point, I tried to mirror Urania, and a bunch of variations of it.

It's frustratingly possible that the mirror clue is equally:

• A reference
• A method of deciphering
• An instruction for a password

As neatly as it points towards Urania's Mirror, we might not be done with it yet.

[fresh quiver]

yeah looked up esoog etc. but no search hit. so that wasnt tried either. but myy variations didnt worked

[earnest wagon]

I've spent what time I can today organising my thoughts, and investing a few threads related directly to Urania's Mirror.

I think Celestial Navigation is a topic with a lot of possibilities - no luck so far though.

[grand panther]

off topic but the three headed monkey is def a reference to guybrush and it might be in a hut

[earnest wagon]

Yup. Or if you see any cannibals, try asking them twice if they've seen it.

[grand panther]

yep lol

[fresh quiver]

look behind you! a three headed monkey! 😄

[grand panther]

or if I find Herman toothrot and get him to have a flashback

[gloomy anvil]

Just one more point about anser. There lived a poet named Anser in ancient Rome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anser_(poet)

It might be expected if anser itself is associated with Latin

[grand panther]

Anser is a bird also

goos

[fallen jasper]

Imagine the first thing anyone sees about you 2000 years later when they look you up is calling you a terrible poet

I could not be buried deep enough to not roll in my grave

[earnest wagon]

That was my first thought too, but then I realised, as a writer, I'd be pleased if anyone remembers me at all in 2000 years.

[fresh quiver]

Justice still online. Seems to be interesting here rn 😄

[fallen jasper]

Still here for another 2 hours

[earnest wagon]

We'll be good until shift-change.

[hard forge]

All CMs are Nate

[fresh quiver]

interesting for me that it seems that you kind of know the wikipedia article maybe already 😅

writing in the same minute that there is written he is a bad/terrible poet 🤔

[acoustic canyon]

one guy calls you a bad poet and its all anybody knows about you for 2000 years

[earnest wagon]

All Embark / CM are Rob. I'm not sure I can be convinced otherwise.

[grand panther]

my mill grinds pepper and spice

[fallen jasper]

It's literally the first thing I saw

[fresh quiver]

yep i see. getting late for me again 😂

[acoustic canyon]

hes working for rob

[gloomy anvil]

😦

feel bad for him

[fresh quiver]

really? 😱
i think Justice is even involved 😄 or atleast i read that somewhere

[acoustic canyon]

we cant even know if he was a good poet

[fallen jasper]

My mill grinds
Pepper, and spice,
Your mill grinds
rats, and mice.

[earnest wagon]

He's barely worth a wiki article.

We've abandoned the hunt and taken to insult swordfighting instead.

[hard forge]

Just found out about Trevanion cipher https://www.dcode.fr/trevanion-cipher#q1

I hope Rob never uses it.

[earnest wagon]

If anything, it looks like he's been using it this whole time...

[fresh quiver]

Good night hunters 🙂
Weekend hunt ahead

[hard forge]

Check this out 🥲 https://www.dcode.fr/pig-latin-language

the example

[earnest wagon]

There's also something called Goose Latin - I spent ages trying it with other words to see if it would make sense.

Basically you add 'el' after each vowel and then add the vowel again after it (I think I remember that correctly anyhow).

Nightmare in practice.

[hard forge]

It is always the numeric cypher we get stuck on.

[slender sedge]

hai! anything new?

One of Guybrush Threepwood's often repeated catchphrases is "Look behind you, a three headed monkey!" His usual reason for stating the line would be to momentarily distract someone in order to steal one of their possessions.
Could the monkey appear when someone is stealing cashout? 🤔

[shadow shore]

Interesting, or depositing in solo/bank it? As most of us play solo when EE hunting haha

[restive comet]

what have we found in the art

[shadow shore]

https://padlet.com/Kyne

[restive comet]

thanks frosty

[shadow shore]

There's definitely references to Fear and Loathing I'd say haha

[mint blade]

Id say it could be hinting at desert map but it might be just a nod to the movie (or show idk) and the deserted las vegas map (MY IDEA MY IDEA ATLEAST)

[long dome]

this hunt is very dry, especially without any clues as of recent. perhaps rob knows that we have everything we need already

[brazen drift]

He has said this

*citation needed

[long dome]

i know, but it isnt obvious what it is we "have"

[fallen jasper]

I have returned from my holiday, #easter-eggs. What have I missed?
