easter-eggs

[cloud wyvern]

i really gotta work today so somebody @ me when rob is here so i can beg like a junkie for those 👀 on my message

yeah it has to do with max interger values or something, assumed to be a bug as of right now.

[hardy roost]

oh ok

[outer scroll]

WHAT?? YOU TAKE FALL DAMAGE NOW?

[cloud wyvern]

when you fall into the abyss

[hard forge]

hazard

[outer scroll]

oh… hm. that’s peculiar.

oh wait 3 & 2 were important last i was in here.

[cloud wyvern]

adding fall damage for one day would be very funny though embark should do that

[outer scroll]

i’d be furious but it’d be funny

april fools

[cloud wyvern]

call of duty made it so hackers die when falling from any distance which is extremely funny.

[outer scroll]

right

[valid lichen]

lol

[cloud wyvern]

embark should take notes

[valid lichen]

I always thought S Lies means Scotty lies but it could be Sophia lies

[hard forge]

who is June?

[valid lichen]

Female host

june and scotty

[hard forge]

aahh...right

[civic hornet]

Rob said 132 messages a minute

[cloud wyvern]

thats right june.

[hard forge]

the 6th month

[civic hornet]

Page 132 is chapter 7 of wrinkle in time

Titled A Different Universe

[gloomy anvil]

wasn't it 134?

[hard forge]

when where?

[civic hornet]

Shoot it was wasn't it

[cloud wyvern]

off topic but very upset that they removed the interaction between scotty and june where she would make a pun and scotty would always answer "thats right june" in a very "i don't understand the joke but i don't want to look stupid" kind of way.

[civic hornet]

Nvm

[civic hornet]

I'll try find it

[hard forge]

#easter-eggs message

[valid lichen]

I have a feeling Scotty and June are lore wise AI as well (Just a shot in the dark but interesting theory)

[civic hornet]

Here it is

Also a BAM in there

V cryptic

Also AGAIN, point to the fact there have been multiple big bangs??

[hard forge]

even the "... ..'

[civic hornet]

... .. is S I in morse code

Does S I relate to anything?

[pure loom]

Or the end of CNS Lies

[valid lichen]

Yeah also possible

[hard forge]

it's actually ._.

... and ._.

so nothing there

[acoustic canyon]

he signed it with SI twice in the same message

[civic hornet]

Not that I can see online

Could be wrong. I don't know morse code

[hard forge]

Rob used ._. twice and discord change the format to italic

[gloomy anvil]

that's interesting

[gloomy anvil]

oh lol

that explains it

[willow bough]

oop yeah you're right

[civic hornet]

I don't understand haha

[gloomy anvil]

This is how Discord formats: normal text _ italic text _ normal text

Rob signed with ._. at two points, meaning everything in between the two _ became italic, and the underscores were hidden

[civic hornet]

Ahh

[rocky compass]

Any glimpse of a new map in the past few trailer?

[cloud wyvern]

yes its a map to your heart

the new map was inside you all this time

(as far as i know, no. there has not been a glimpse for a new map)

[civic hornet]

The real Easter egg was the friends we made along the way

[cloud wyvern]

thats right

[pure loom]

Nothing I’ve been able to see

[civic hornet]

So does Rob usually sign off with ... ._.?

[hearty meteor]

i always thought that was a face lol

._. disappointment

[sharp flame]

it probably is and we are crazy 😭

[gloomy anvil]

Yeah, it's SR (Saint Rob) in morse

[hard forge]

Guy guy guys

[sharp flame]

👀?

[hard forge]

let me introduce you to @true shoal

[true shoal]

hi

[cloud wyvern]

hello

[civic hornet]

Hi

[true shoal]

i was asked for help with pulsar CP1919

[hard forge]

please tell them what you told me

[cloud wyvern]

we are debating whether or not its actually in outer space

[true shoal]

im an astrophysicist but im not sure if it will be helpful

[civic hornet]

Well we're not and we've got this far

[true shoal]

ill prolly need to catch up with allot

[fresh quiver]

probably. also rob eyed some messages last night 😅

we are now in a nobel prize rabbit hole ._.

[civic hornet]

Nobel Prizes, Eggs, Gold, Astrophysics, Jocelyn Bell Burnell

So many rabbit holes

[true shoal]

alr thank u

[hard forge]

#egg-hunt-onboarding message

start with wiki

[civic hornet]

@true shoal Wait tell us what you told @hard forge first

Or at least the gist

[true shoal]

they looked at my profile and asked me if i cld answer any physics question n i was like yes im a physicist

[cloud wyvern]

the google doc is really good too, even though it stopped updating shortly before current tier.

[civic hornet]

Ahh ok

Fair

[true shoal]

i believe this wld be obv and you wouldve found it already but just to be sure we know that pulsar CP1919 was the first radio pulsar discovered right?

[hard forge]

i thought their insights would be valuable if they are interested in the hunt

[civic hornet]

Yeah so we're familiar with Jocelyn Bell Burnell. Trying to find a link between pulsars, eggs and gold

[hard forge]

LIGO and Jocelyn Bell (and CP1919) are recent leads

[civic hornet]

As well as fifty other things

[cloud wyvern]

reading through the google doc last night helped me understand the patterns and methods rob uses which led me to the june 11th theory.

[civic hornet]

Enlighten us?

[hard forge]

binary pulsar was also eyed

[true shoal]

shes an icon
hmmm i see

[willow bough]

oops it is way too early for me to be trying to contribute to this rn LOL

[civic hornet]

@true shoal I think someone said earlier that a good lead would be "the creation of gold" don't know if anything about that sparks anything

[indigo stag]

Hi, can someone tell me a good place to get up to date with the EE and what I can do to help out? I’ve tried doing some research and hear about this “rob” but still don’t even know who he is. Unless he’s the announcer?

[civic hornet]

Also page 134 of wrinkle of time, chapter 7 A Different Universe

[cloud wyvern]

im real stupid so i can't articulate it well, but i think the idea of flipped dates was mentioned at least once in there, and that also at some point a signature was hidden in an image and now we have a new clue from rob that appears to be another signature that is either hidden in OR has to do with vvv.png

[hearty meteor]

#egg-hunt-onboarding

[acoustic canyon]

a wrinkle in time and wrinkles in time are different books. wrinkles in time was the one rob mentioned which pushed us towards nobel prize

[true shoal]

im tryna think of a way they might be connected to "eggs"

[cloud wyvern]

that he also occasionally drops some pretty overt clues, and that he has written in this chat that the answer on every tier is possible to find on the first image alone but extremely difficult. which is what led me to look at ques.jpg again which led me to nov 11 -> june 11

[indigo stag]

@hearty meteor I’m trying to find out where everyone is upto with it what everyone is looking into

[civic hornet]

We're guessing rebirth or birth in some way

[hearty meteor]

if you dont even know who rob is it might be a better idea to get some info about the basics first (basics? idk like the info that you def need) before you jump into this

[true shoal]

gold is created in the process of nucleosynthesis
the spelling might be wrong
it needs fusion reactions within stars to occur
gold is mainly formed durin the later stages of a massive star's lifetime
with every fusion reaction occurring causing a heavier element to form

[hearty meteor]

@indigo stag forgot to reply

[true shoal]

im still watching the guide video

[hard forge]

@true shoal This one of the deepest EEs created by Rob_embark. Just go through the links and see if you find this hunt interesting. This lvl is all related to history and Science.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

[indigo stag]

Yeh that’s what I’m trying to find out is there a website or a video someone made?

[hearty meteor]

everything you need to know is in that channel

[indigo stag]

There’s like nothing in that channel tho

[hearty meteor]

there are links

one of which is a big video

[willow bough]

oh damn hold on.

Current astrophysical models suggest that a single neutron star merger event may have generated between 3 and 13 Earth masses of gold.[32]

On 17 August 2017, the LIGO/Virgo collaboration detected GW170817,[4] a gravitational wave associated with the merger of two neutron stars in NGC 4993, an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Hydra

is this the sort of thing you're talking about?

[true shoal]

i cant promise to be a very active member of the hunt coz im usually very busy with work but this is def fun and i can help with any questions directly related to physics for sure

[indigo stag]

Right gotcha I’ll stop clogging the chat thanks brother

[hearty meteor]

[indigo stag]

You still a homie

i claim to be busy with work too but then i just keep chatting in here like a degenerate.

[acoustic canyon]

i still have nightmares about thomas norton

[hard forge]

i warned all of you

[misty raven]

Lol

[fresh quiver]

nucleosynthesis reads like it has a lot of the elementals in it that we thought about.

[willow bough]

LIGO -> Gravitational Waves -> Detection of Neutron Star Mergers -> Creation of gold in the universe?

[fresh quiver]

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

[hearty meteor]

whats the atomic number of calcium

[true shoal]

yes
tht environment creates extreme neutron flux for r process to occur

[hard forge]

what about vega star? Why did we stop talking about it chat?

[hearty meteor]

20… hm doesnt seem to add up to 79

[true shoal]

we also believe tht this might be the most significant way newer elements r born

[hard forge]

stellar classification uses elements right?

their spectral property?

[indigo stag]

Has the EE given any insight or lore about the universe of the finals?

[hearty meteor]

ok i just tried chicken and chick3n but they didnt work

[indigo stag]

Did you try it backwards?

[hard forge]

i believe the hunters are CNS

[misty raven]

'killing the goose that lays the golden eggs', which refers to the short-sighted destruction of a valuable resource, or to an unprofitable action motivated by greed.

[indigo stag]

CNS?

[true shoal]

electromagnetic radiation is analyzed using a diffraction medium to identify elements, temperature, magnetic field and density

[hearty meteor]

also wrong

[misty raven]

So this + JBB + brutus

All about betrayal

[fresh quiver]

i have a headache now after reading that wiki article

[cloud wyvern]

i have kept wondering if brutus is maybe part of this. that theory makes sense.

[hearty meteor]

what came first, the egg or the gold

surely thats the question we have to ask

[civic hornet]

@true shoal can you think of any relations to the number 134 in physics?

[valid lichen]

[misty raven]

It all feels like it's metaphorically referring to something, but it could be referring to so much it doesn't seem possible to pin it down to one password

[cloud wyvern]

brutus was also a noble which can tie to "nobel"

[misty raven]

Or like what created the golden egg

[hearty meteor]

caesium 134 is a known isotope of it

but that could just be pointing towards the timekeeping star or whatever that was and whatever that lead to

[true shoal]

hmmm one thing tht comes to mind is that its nontotient

[cloud wyvern]

b r u t u s

[civic hornet]

What does nontoniet mean?

[fresh quiver]

he never eyed brutus

[hard forge]

@fallen jasper what?

say it

[cloud wyvern]

[fallen jasper]

[hard forge]

i saw you typing

you have the password?

[unborn charm]

Thanks

[true shoal]

this is more related to mathematics so im also not very knowledgable about it but a totient function also called the euler's totient function is the number of positive integer not greater than a specific integer that are relatively prime to it

i dont really know how to explain this without the function itself

its like
the totient function is a way to count how many positive integers are "relatively prime" to a given number n

[hearty meteor]

something something phi something something all odd numbers are nontotient

[true shoal]

its denoted by ϕ

[shadow shore]

Good morning all. What the hell are we talking about now

[hearty meteor]

things that require brain

[shadow shore]

[hearty meteor]

which i am currently lacking

epic embed fail

[cloud wyvern]

they never work for me i am a moron

[true shoal]

that is the only scientific relation i can think of for 134

[hard forge]

@true shoal does thishttps://www.reachthefinals.com/burrw gif reminds you of something in science?

[restive turtle]

doesnt look symetrical so it doesnt seem like wave function physics more like sonar

[unborn charm]

Idk but what do we get out of finding everything ?

[true shoal]

ok so lets take an example for totient numbers
ϕ(12)
prime factorization of 12 is 12 = 2^2 * 3

usin totient function formula
ϕ(12) = 12 * 1/3 = 4
this is very simplified

so ϕ(12) = 4 which means there are 4 number 1,5,7 and 11 which are less than 12 and are relatively prime to 12

I hope Rob doesn't use this.

[cloud wyvern]

distract rob

[true shoal]

this is advanced number theory

[shadow shore]

put a line through that quick

[true shoal]

which is out of syllabus for me 😭

[hearty meteor]

i dont think rob knows what nontotient numbers are given that most people dont know what those are

[fresh quiver]

can we do that with 15 maybe?
i think 15 was a bigger clue sometime. but cant remember good enough

[true shoal]

ok hold on

[shadow shore]

don't we have everything we need tho? Without throwing more spanners into the mix just sayain

[fresh quiver]

technically we have everything since image 1

[shadow shore]

wtf really?

[misty raven]

Yeah but it's good for morale to go crazy

[valid lichen]

Real real

[true shoal]

ϕ(15) = 8
which are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 13, and 14

[fresh quiver]

it was true sometime. if it is in thies tier? dunno. need to find it quick

[shadow shore]

You mean the flaming image, with the welders mask?

[hard current]

yeah, technically the first image in any tier you’re able to solve everything from it

[valid lichen]

I'm pretty sure that is true

[hearty meteor]

welders mask + flamethrower + vault in vegas?

[hard current]

though it’s… very very hard to do

[fresh quiver]

#easter-eggs message

[true shoal]

hmmmm

[cloud wyvern]

Here is the message where Rob says that tiers are possible to solve on the first image alone:
#easter-eggs message

something that he repeats at least once more as well

[true shoal]

which one is the first image?

[cloud wyvern]

possible but difficult

[fresh quiver]

are it the both question marks?

[cloud wyvern]

so in the case of this tier its gonna be both ques.jpg and tion.jpg

[fresh quiver]

could it?

[cloud wyvern]

i assume so yeah

[shadow shore]

Oh

I thought you meant the first image haha

[fresh quiver]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2 that are all images and passwords from this level.
Tier 2ABC & 2DEF should be the last images for Tier 3

[civic hornet]

It's two images. One of a gold question mark and one of a egg coloured question mark.

[cloud wyvern]

i think it would be a bit, i dunno the right word, pedantic to assume that we should just be looking at ques.jpg. i think this tier is just an exception to the rule and both images apply when it comes to having the answer

[civic hornet]

Don't have it to hand

[hard forge]

Was Vega pointing to Vulpecula and then to CP1919 > JBB?

[shadow shore]

So i tried to merge them, as it looks like the white fits snug into the gold

[cloud wyvern]

tionques

yeah it's possible that they need to be merged but i haven't found anything useful from doing that

i also have not really messed around with it that long

[shadow shore]

white with gold outline? Nothing comes to mind

[shadow shore]

Yeah i didn't find much

Or anything

I wanna try magic too

there's a cooldown period, default is 8 seconds

[cloud wyvern]

i believe rob has also said that every tier prior to this have the clues to solve this tier (in addition to also saying there is a common thread). i kind of interpret the questions marks as a teacher saying "okay class what have we learned?"

[shadow shore]

Dangit

[fresh quiver]

1min here afaik

[hard forge]

If Rob comes online today please ask him if we have everything on the padlet which he gave a nudge to in any tier.

[cloud wyvern]

what have we learned from the tiers about gold?
what have we learned from the tiers about egg?

[hard forge]

There are no coincidences.

[misty raven]

Golden question, the promise: Will you marry me?

Lol a ring isn't an egg

[cloud wyvern]

the answer is frodo

[misty raven]

I think this might be something

[shadow shore]

I learned that eggs are oviform and gold is gold really

[true shoal]

have we timed the beat period of the red circles?

[cloud wyvern]

god i really need to log off and get some work done. echoing to force rob to eyeball things when he shows up. GL HF.

Was the purple image with the SCAR the first image dropped for tier 3?

[shadow shore]

Just more crackpot theories really, nothing concrete but getting there

[sharp flame]

The pattern lol

You're talking about the images themselves right

[shadow shore]

Yeah like in the images, the Secrets™

Yeah then the grid pattern

[quartz fable]

What are even these

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/TFEE_T3

[light walrus]

Also where can uncompressed full size images that have been dropped?
I just reverse image searched and found a full scale image

Oop, I was thinking of "A Wrinkle in Time" completely different.

We've never been on the final level of the easter egg hunt.

We're on the final tier of level 2 (out of four levels)

How do I help or get involved?

first step is to go insane looking at all the clues for about a week and then your brain kind of breaks and its like you are neo at the end of the matrix when he sees the matrix for what it really is.

[coarse dagger]

I know you were joking here, but Rob said "Tripple" in this message:
#easter-eggs message

Could've been pointing us to Sophia Petronella

[fallen jasper]

How do i know where to start tho since peopel are already going

[light walrus]

https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t3-dyra282bx402xxzy

[fallen jasper]

Ty

[light walrus]

That's a link to the collective 'red string conspiracy theorist connections' board

[coarse dagger]

That's been true for the last 2+ months though.
"New crap" is how we figure out how to put our puzzle pieces together.

[worldly dust]

found one

[light walrus]

As a suggestion. Images in the padlet should link to a full scale version. I spent like an hour last night trying to figure out where the QR code came from in the purple SCAR image only to realize i had a lower resolution version from the padlet and in the full size version its plainly visible.

[worldly dust]

damn this is interesting theres a whole lore hunt going on

[hard forge]

i concur

[cloud wyvern]

while also falling behind on work that you need to do in order to make money so you can pay for rent buy more in game cosmetics.

[shadow shore]

Do we all agree that Rob gave us the 5 truths... like the astronomy, biology etc??

Or is that hogwash

[acoustic canyon]

if were going that route i would assume its the nobel prize categories and his 5 studies was a way of hinting towards that

[shadow shore]

Makes sense

[pallid rock]

I like how the new lore video shows how fake june is

[shadow shore]

But whichever way we go regarding that, I'm not exactly sure how egg and gold thread into them

[light walrus]

Im also thinking the 2 question mark images are a way of saying "two part question" especially given that question literally comes in 2 parts in the image names

[pallid rock]

wait wait wait

one night, three dawns

thats 4

[shadow shore]

Hmm I like

true

[valid lichen]

lmao real

Also R.I.P solo bank it 😭😭😭

[pallid rock]

by the time we play the finals the show has been going for a while right? despite them calling it "season 1" I assume thats just for game purposes

[cloud wyvern]

yes. scotty is a former contestant (according to him).

[shadow shore]

considering the two part question, and I haven't changed them to nobel prize categories. But I'm gonna try follow a formula like this and mix and match or do something idk

[cloud wyvern]

ophelia was also a former contestant

[pallid rock]

i also wonder if the arena is in a larger VR simulation ready player 1 style or if the finals is its own world

like a game they boot up just for the show

[pallid rock]

s lies

maybe sophia is lying about ospuze having no sugar

that would be scandalous

[misty raven]

Scotty fucking sucks at the finals

[cloud wyvern]

i think that scotty and june are AI. which can offer a Lore answer as to why Embark decided to use AI generated voice lines.

[pallid rock]

i think thats a cheap excuse for not wanting to hire actors

[cloud wyvern]

well. i wasn't going to say that out loud.

[earnest wagon]

I think her name was Odilia.

[pallid rock]

they have the real voice actors the ai is based off of for the trailers so they sound better

you can tell pretty clearly

im like 90% sure the open beta trailer has the real VAs

plus if they were AI they wouldn't be talking after the show

they'd just shut down with it

[cloud wyvern]

why not

assume its a terminator type future where the AI cant be shut off because it became too self aware too fast

[pallid rock]

ur mom

[cloud wyvern]

oh shi-

[pallid rock]

i mean if scotty really was a contestant then he probably cant be AI

[cloud wyvern]

you are probably correct i am extremely bad with names

[pallid rock]

i think its safe to say the contestants are humans

[cloud wyvern]

but there could be a reason why the AI wants people to think they are human

so they know to slip in little lies like that

[pallid rock]

idk i think its a bit of a stretch

other than the voices we dont really have a reason to think they're AI

especially if they're interacting with the heads of the sponsors like scotty asking mackenzie for a "pre release version" in the season 1 opening

[rain magnet]

s lies, sophia lies

[cloud wyvern]

eh just a fun idea i'm not taking any sort of hard stance.

[pallid rock]

oh i know

[cloud wyvern]

i just think if criticism wanted to be dodged about using AI VAs, some lore could help with that. :v

[pallid rock]

i really hope that they decide to get actual VAs but its probably not gonna happen

as an artist i know it hurts performers which sucks

[earnest wagon]

Hmm, I wondered early on if Hamlet = Ophelia = Five Truths was a nod towards the 'nesting' nature of the overall solutions between tiers (might still be), but I wonder now if it could also be an indication of the nature of derived works?

Einstein theorised gravitational waves
JBB discovered the pulsar, and the means of discovering them
LIGO discovered them
COBE / Smoot studied the discovery to derive new information from them

[pallid rock]

id be okay with it if it was dynamic commentary but its all pre recorded

[cloud wyvern]

nah i think its a trial balloon. and i agree it does hurt artists.

[pallid rock]

i mean nest relates to "shadow flock"

birds

[cloud wyvern]

i think thats the end goal tho, having real time commentary.

maybe not in the finals, but in the future.

we are getting super off topic though, my bad.

[earnest wagon]

Part-time VA here. Yeah, it sucks, and I keep one eye out for casting calls for anything that might be The Finals looking to introduce actual voice talent.

[coarse dagger]

Easter eggs people. Focus

[stuck ocean]

As long as the people who did the inital voice data for the AI gets paid I dont see the issue with AI voice actors

[coarse dagger]

We've got #1201288968562552863 if needed

[stuck ocean]

But they prob arent

[hard forge]

what?

[cloud wyvern]

oh right EEs

[stuck ocean]

GOLD EGGS

[cloud wyvern]

how about those WRs

[hard forge]

thankyou

[pallid rock]

I also wonder who the suited man we see at the beginning of the launch trailer is

The announcer perhaps?

[hard forge]

I am sorry for clogging up the chat

[cloud wyvern]

scotty for sure, whether or not he is an avatar is ???

[pallid rock]

It’s weird that they’d show Scotty and not June

[stuck ocean]

has anyone tried password as the password

[cloud wyvern]

my god that was it. im in.

[fallen jasper]

Toe toe fart

[pallid rock]

Got damn!!!

[cloud wyvern]

oh wow there is so much cool stuff hidden behind this password. there is a picture of sonic the hedgehog and he is smoking a big blunt

[valid lichen]

WOW!

[hearty meteor]

virtual insanity

[hard current]

hey guys let’s keep this chat on topic:)

[cloud wyvern]

is there a channel for lore? im not seeing one. am i blind?

[stuck ocean]

The lore is hidden behind beyond the walls

[hard current]

no, only #1202387725366603856

[cloud wyvern]

hm. admins should add a lore chat/theorizing channel at some point.

[solar glade]

me waiting for this since the Alpha

i think in the meantime there could be a dedicated “lore” thread in this channel

(not about that one video)

[light walrus]

Fun fact i found while in a rabbit hole: Namatama is a shortened romanized version of the Japanese words for raw egg

[cloud wyvern]

i'll indulge, the possible answer to this tier might have something to do with the origin of gold in our universe. raw gold, raw egg.

[light walrus]

Thats genuinely one of our ideas. Gold is too heavy to be formed via fusion in regular stars, iron is the heaviest element formed. All heavier element come from neutron star collisions. Which brings us back to LIGO, Burnell, Nobel Prizes etc

[cloud wyvern]

yes

[light walrus]

Eggs represent birth, i.e. the birth of gold

[pallid rock]

gold is birthed from contestants when they die lol

[cloud wyvern]

yes. raw egg invokes thoughts of origin, birth, new.

[light walrus]

The gold we were looking for was inside us all along

[cloud wyvern]

it also can invoke what body builders ingest according to all the movies and tv shows i watch

[pallid rock]

i mean organs are pretty expensive

...

anyways

sorta unrelated but do we know if izuel-t makes sneakers for the real world or the VR one?

[misty raven]

it's gonna be hard to say at this stage right? we're still kind of in the dark about the nature of the world

[sharp flame]

Both! I think

"Transcending reality" makes sense if they do clothing for both

[pallid rock]

ohhh you're right

also today i learned scotty cannonically can down an entire can of ospuze in less than 3 seconds

[valid lichen]

Biggest lore drop in the history of THE FINALS

[pallid rock]

honestly

[misty raven]

he's so full of shit

[pallid rock]

can we get a dev to confirm this

[pallid rock]

no, hes full of ospuze

[misty raven]

filthy sledge main

can't believe i now believe ospuze is gamer piss

[pallid rock]

checks out

i mean they have tentacles on the advert

thats a little suspicious

[misty raven]

it comes from the deep

[pallid rock]

the chemicals in the ospuze are turning the fricking frogs into coins

ANYWAYS

i also noticed the guns are stamped with "discovery corp"

maybe theres a bigger company behind the finals

maybe its.....

a lethal company.....

[misty raven]

i honestly think this all comes back to fortnite

[hearty meteor]

discovery is the old name for the finals

the exe is also called discovery

[pallid rock]

interesting

[pallid rock]

lore wise or

[hearty meteor]

no, irl

[cloud wyvern]

it was the pre-production/working name

[pallid rock]

gotcha

[velvet verge]

ah, i always wondered why it was called that

[pallid rock]

i think its also interesting that its stamped with "virtual firearm" which leads me to believe that the finals takes place within a larger simulation where guns need to be kept track of and monitored much like in the real world with serial numbers

[light walrus]

What was the first image drop for this tier? Theoretically arent the answers supposed to be attainable via that single image alone?

[misty raven]

oh boy

[pallid rock]

i think it was just two question marks

[misty raven]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/TFEE_T3#/media/File:Tfee_ques.jpg

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/TFEE_T3#/media/File:Tfee_tion.jpg

[light walrus]

So somehow we can answer this from those 2 images

[pallid rock]

we dont even know the question we need to answer

[misty raven]

yeah. it's the combination of all the puzzles leading up to this tier which all involve "gold" or "egg"

[pallid rock]

we just need to find info

[misty raven]

so the question is something like "golden egg?"

[light walrus]

A 2 part golden egg question

[misty raven]

bingo

the clues we got were in relation to the nobel prize for physics, but be warned that can lead you down some extensive rabbit holes

[pallid rock]

i mean i can see the connection, the arena wouldnt work without physics

[velvet verge]

well theres that old fable about the goose laying golden eggs

[misty raven]

MY theory is that it's to do with the theme of greed and betrayal

[pallid rock]

i mean greed checks out

[misty raven]

like killing the golden goose

[pallid rock]

just going back to the arena over and over

[pallid rock]

i mean theres a golden flamingo you can pick up in vegas but idk that might be a reach

[light walrus]

the image shows up as an XML file?

[velvet verge]

im sure its been mentioned before but heres the article if that helps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goose_that_Laid_the_Golden_Eggs
(kinda new to the easter egg scene lol)

[misty raven]

yeah same. but from the games i've played it is mainly people shooting in the dark until it works out lol

[pallid rock]

wdym

[misty raven]

where is it?

[pallid rock]

ohhh

[pallid rock]

its in i believe the ballroom with the bar and the pink plants

dont quote me on that

but i know for a FACT its somewhere in vegas

[velvet verge]

whats been the most recent discovery? the video from the files right

[pallid rock]

ive picked it up a number of times

[misty raven]

the video is to be discounted for now

we're not really supposed to have it

[velvet verge]

cus it got datamined right? makes sense

[stuck ocean]

how much of a discount?

[pallid rock]

run into steal the spotlight, see if you can find it

[misty raven]

imma

cause i was thinking bout that new spray too

the map

[jagged ore]

I just noticed that there is an ingame voice line that talks something about theory of relativity and "yes that's an Einstein joke". I can't remember the first half exactly but maybe that has something to do with the physics and nobel prize stuff

[pallid rock]

it could also be a reference to the flamingo float

[velvet verge]

it would be so much quicker to look for stuff in game if we had a custom game system 😭

[coarse dagger]

There's a bunch on the Rooftop garden dining area in Vegas.
Not sure which casino that's on off the top of my head.

[pallid rock]

YES there

its by the stage

not quite above it but close

theres an ivy wall

[misty raven]

ohshit

alrighty

[stuck ocean]

flamingoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[pallid rock]

#light-build-main message

[velvet verge]

also flamingos are in teh first arc raiders trailer

[pallid rock]

i think its a reference honestly

cuz doesnt one of the devs have a flamingo floatie

or just love flamingos

it is interesting tho... i wouldn't completely discount it

[pallid rock]

yessss with low grav event

theres a LOT of physics talk

i think something like "june tells me this doesn't mean any revisions to the standard model of gravity" im not too sure tho

[misty raven]

the finals arg be like

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b1/8e/43/b18e43f365b2f47b8431fc415098720f.jpg

[pallid rock]

greed in vegas checks

[misty raven]

oh absolutely

[pallid rock]

did you see the flamingo video i sent

betrayal hmmm

theres not too many themes of betrayal in the game

its meant to be played with a team

i dont think throwing players are canon

[misty raven]

lol

the flamingo bomb?

[pallid rock]

yeah

golden flamingo

again i think its just a reference

but its interesting

[misty raven]

ya imma head in and check it out anyway

[pallid rock]

sounds like a plan, keep us updated

[misty raven]

does anyone remember where the vegas map with the x marks the spot spray was from

like the video that revealed it?

[pallid rock]

no idea

ohhhh

[velvet verge]

could be a more metaphorical betrayal, like betrayal of mankind as a whole or nature? im kinda reaching here idk

[pallid rock]

i think launch

[pallid rock]

wait is it on one of the whiteboards in skyway or am i tripping?

i think im tripping

pretty sure i am

i know that the first time we see CNS is in the cb2 trailer

[misty raven]

this one

[pallid rock]

where it says "seek the truth beyond the walls"

oh fuck

hmmmm

[coarse dagger]

#1202362203920150610 y'all

[pallid rock]

do we have a higher quality image

[turbid tinsel]

Does the possible signature rob gave resemble Alfred novels? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Nobel#/media/File%3AAlfred_Nobel_Signature.svg

[velvet verge]

yeah, probably

if someone has the twitch drop they should

[hard current]

damnit I saw fish eyes 😭

[hard current]

I looked into this but sadly I don’t think so, check #1198659083587297350

[misty raven]

ty thats the one

[velvet verge]

ive got like 15 minutes left until i get it on drops, but im sure someone else has gotten it already.

[coarse dagger]

#1202362203920150610

[velvet verge]

thanks.

[misty raven]

also just putting it out there

have we needed to use the golden ratio for any of the codes yet?

[pallid rock]

hmm i dont think so

[misty raven]

they could just be avoiding the cliche

[hasty anvil]

Golden ratio got an early reaction from Rob a few months ago

and wasn't used that tier

[pallid rock]

hmmmm

[hasty anvil]

so maybe needed for a future tier

[pallid rock]

did we put it on the question mark

[coarse dagger]

Not just a reaction. He put 3 reactions on it.
No eyes though.

[misty raven]

robby aint immune to cliche's huh

[pallid rock]

my genuine reaction to that information

idk man its impressive we've gotten this far with 2 question marks

do we know if we're on the right track?

[pallid rock]

can you find the message?

more flamingo talk btw

[next fulcrum]

I got the master plan spray. When you spray it on the wall it gives you a map with an X on it for Casino Eastwood. First floor plans.

I haven’t checked the area out yet.

[misty raven]

I checked it out before

[pallid rock]

we have! It leads us to safety deposit boxes

which tracks

[coarse dagger]

Only 3 reactions actually:
#easter-eggs message

[pallid rock]

no reason for the route... yet

all hearts...

hmmmm

i mean if you put two of em together it looks like a heart...

two question marks

GASP

i got nothing

yeah i dont know

[misty raven]

omg an egg

[pallid rock]

i want a fucking grillcheese

[cloud wyvern]

i think rob has responded in the affirmative that love is part of the overall theme

[pallid rock]

What’s that

[pallid rock]

Oh wait I’m cooking then

[cloud wyvern]

every idea is a bad idea until it isnt

[hasty anvil]

actually a good idea

[acoustic canyon]

i think we looked into love being one of the truths for a day or 2 but never got any eyes

[hasty anvil]

connects golden ratio, mirror and romance

[velvet verge]

the true easter eggs were the friends and love we made along the way

[cloud wyvern]

ah, lame. i thought there was something about love with the couple image

[unkempt arrow]

If that’s the end then somebody is getting punched

[acoustic canyon]

there still might be, but we just didnt get anything about it being a truth

[pallid rock]

Pick me pick me

[unkempt arrow]

I don’t know if this has been said yet or not but

[velvet verge]

but

[unkempt arrow]

“In geometry, a golden spiral is a logarithmic spiral whose growth factor is φ, the golden ratio. That is, a golden spiral “

[snow walrus]

Wow this channel has been very active lately

I cant read all those unreads

[coarse dagger]

I'd guess #1202387725366603856 is a big factor in that

[hasty anvil]

guys try not to clog the chat too much, Rob needs to read the important findings

[snow walrus]

Yea please use #1201288968562552863

[turbid tinsel]

Still feel like nobel should be the route we press currently

[hasty anvil]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1201288968562552863 This definitely needs to be utilised more

[snow walrus]

Or we should create a thread for Rob to pin important messages 😂

[unkempt arrow]

I feel threads could be a good shout, makes it easier to go back to one set of theories

[hard forge]

you are in it m8

[snow walrus]

But there is a thing that sometimes rob eyes some messages which we don't suppose to be eyed

So at the end he checks here as well

[pallid rock]

Does eyes always mean we cooking

[snow walrus]

If rob reacts with 👀 that means we are on the right path

[pallid rock]

I see

[snow walrus]

Thats why we dont use that emoji to react

[acoustic canyon]

except fish has started using it to confirm things

so make sure to check anyway

[sharp flame]

ONE TIME

[acoustic canyon]

twice

[sharp flame]

TWO TIMES

[snow walrus]

Fish fishes you

[unkempt arrow]

Two times too many my friend

[sharp flame]

yeah mb

[cloud wyvern]

fish is a loose cannon

[sharp flame]

will replace with 👁️

WHERES UR DAD

[sharp flame]

my father is the one who's missing 💪

/s

[pallid rock]

Ur dad is Scotty

[unkempt arrow]

Okay back to the hunt

[pallid rock]

Yes

So

[unkempt arrow]

So love was eyed by rob, and putting 2 golden spirals together got you a heart

[pallid rock]

I mean the spiral heart this is a bit of a reach

I’ll admit

[unkempt arrow]

Love/romance could be a solid stepping stone in general regardless.

Where did you get the spirals from anyway?

[pallid rock]

Wasn’t Paris leaked as a map? That’s pretty romantic

[velvet verge]

was it?

[pallid rock]

I heard it from a friend

But idk don’t quote me

They said in the patch notes something said “___ fixed on Paris” but it was deleted

[misty raven]

aight the golden flamingo didn't do shit in the lockbox room

[pallid rock]

Throw him into the abyss

[misty raven]

already blew him skyhigh

[pallid rock]

Hell yeah brother

What’s the most recent thing rob reacted to?

[proud minnow]

I think it has been 3 times...

[sharp flame]

CMON

[pallid rock]

Get em

[misty raven]

well

[pallid rock]

U just got turned to sushi lil bro

[proud minnow]

THX (but I'm doomed already)

[cloud wyvern]

hey @proud minnow will you please put your eyes on my message here thanks in advance #easter-eggs message

[pallid rock]

Nuh uh

[cloud wyvern]

i just need those eyes bro just one more pair of eyes bro

[pallid rock]

Well if rob is here and hasn’t reacted to anything

I guess we need to switch gears

[misty raven]

yo this might be a dead end but it seems like these are all linked to a video game called THE FINALS??!

[pallid rock]

Nah bro

[unkempt arrow]

You right, it’s a dead end

[misty raven]

damn alg

[pallid rock]

Never let my man cook again

[misty raven]

😧

[snow walrus]

Would you prefer a thread Rob? rather than reading the whole channel?

[pallid rock]

What else do we have

[misty raven]

mans reading

[valid lichen]

Actually a great idea

[snow walrus]

Even if we type messages here we can link in the thread later

[hard forge]

the first one will be oogway's eyes

[cloud wyvern]

oh god the eyes aren't appearing on my message. i will die from embarrassment

[shadow shore]

It happens to the best of us. And the worst

[unkempt arrow]

You said the American date didn’t get eyed either right?

[misty raven]

wow your dumb idea wasn't the right dumb idea. THATs embarrassing

[cloud wyvern]

it was theorized out loud in this channel but never got a reaction from him

but there is just no way it is a coincidence

[unkempt arrow]

Was it said it was a date?

[hard forge]

someone told me to @ them when Rob is here. Who was it?

[gloomy anvil]

-> #1175202375070384208 message

[unkempt arrow]

Thanks

[valid lichen]

I think it was themayorofgames

[cloud wyvern]

someone last night (sorry i forget who) said that the date could be read as june 11. but they could not find any sort of notable data/info when searching.

i found that article about JBB about receiving an award on that flipped date. which now raises the question how we could have extrapolated JBB as a clue from the ? images.

yeah it was me.

[hard forge]

Silence now. Let the man type

[light walrus]

"Gold is sometimes found free in nature but it is usually found in conjunction with silver, quartz (SiO2), calcite (CaCO3)"
interesting...

[misty raven]

CaCO3 is Tier 1e right?

[unkempt arrow]

How did you get to the Fibonacci spirals again?

[pallid rock]

Ooooo the quartz bundle!!!

[light walrus]

yep

[misty raven]

golden ratio

[unkempt arrow]

I mean the context to pulling that, what had happened?

[tranquil hollow]

.

[misty raven]

I don't believe it was anything more than "have we used the golden ratio yet?"

[unkempt arrow]

Ah, thanks

[hasty anvil]

• 3 reactions from rob so it's important

[misty raven]

oh ye

[unkempt arrow]

Three question marks right?

I’m gonna go with my gut and see if there’s anything about Fibonacci’s love life then since love was also confirmed

[hasty anvil]

remember to use discord's search function for the chat to see if we have covered anything already

[proud minnow]

No I can't explain it to be honest, but still this has been hidden in some places...

■□■■■■□■□■■□■□■□■■□■■

ayo?

[unkempt arrow]

Forgot about that, thanks

[hard forge]

What!!

[unkempt arrow]

Morse code maybe?

[hasty anvil]

the barcode?

[gloomy anvil]

doesn't divide into octets

[misty raven]

damn it looks like binary but doesnt seem to translate

[unkempt arrow]

Okay, his love life hasn’t been mentioned, I’ll return if anything bears fruit

[crisp glen]

1-4-1-2-1-1-2-2?

[hasty anvil]

21 boxes

[sharp flame]

no 👀!

[earnest wagon]

Hmm, just woke up like I could sense something was stirring.

Gravitational Wave Astronomy was a swing and a miss then?

[gloomy anvil]

the use of boxes reminds me of the Nama bat (again) but unlikely

[shadow shore]

🖲︎85865568NEWLINETOKEN9875865🖲︎ 🖲︎85865568NEWLINETOKEN9875865🖲︎

new line token

[shadow shore]

Wot the devill

[gloomy anvil]

as in, \n (I'm assuming)

[hasty anvil]

maybe c64 keys?

[hearty meteor]

that is most definitely not a coincidence

[snow walrus]

that's all I can see also. But yeah I just googled the boxes lel

[cloud wyvern]

google says that a trackball emoticon but it looks suspiciously like a flamingo

[hard forge]

no eyes

[cloud wyvern]

i am ashamed and also incredibly confused.

[slender sedge]

🖲︎85865568NEWLINETOKEN9875865🖲︎ is just a new line

[shadow shore]

Ahh

[hard forge]

i feel you....i had a similar experience with decoding older tier. No eyes

[misty raven]

"To get the letter, character, sign or symbol "■" : ( black square ) on computers with Windows operating system: 1) Press the "Alt" key on your keyboard, and do not let go. 2) While keep press "Alt", on your keyboard type the number "254", which is the number of the letter or symbol "■" in ASCII table."

if you wanna go down that line

[turbid tinsel]

yall try the t9 conversion with it?

[hard forge]

I guess no eyes to clues which are no longer needed.

[cloud wyvern]

thats what im telling myself 🥲

[gloomy anvil]

Repetition of characters. 1 1 4 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 2

[slender sedge]

buuut 'n' and 'o' are the squares, so if translating to that it's
'nonnnnononnonononnonn' - which looks like gibberish lol

[pallid rock]

Im back

[hasty anvil]

in response to nontotient numbers, so maybe a factor

[pallid rock]

I had a grilled cheese

[earnest wagon]

GAB

[misty raven]

i think this is the case

in some way

[gloomy anvil]

It's just a very elaborate way to disagree with us

[hard forge]

so Maybe something related 134

#easter-eggs message

[earnest wagon]

I’m tucked up in bed right now so I can’t check, but I wonder if that string compares to the possible morse code in the namatama concept art?

[slender sedge]

if squares are 1 and 0 that could be
0100001010010101011011 or 101111010110101011011
In decimal 1090907 or 1551707
In hex 10A55B or 17AD5B

[earnest wagon]

1551707

[shadow shore]

binary?

14-12-1122 or a date? What was everyone doing on this date?

[hasty anvil]

Nice!

[gloomy anvil]

catching the bubonic plague probably

[gloomy anvil]

checked these for famous color values, like fire engine red, but nothing

the hex that is

[hard forge]

1090907 reminds me of 20209.5

[shadow shore]

@slender sedge coming in clutch with the thingss, wooo

[slender sedge]

sad 😦 did the decimal numbers appear somewhere already? do they look familiar?

[gloomy anvil]

Not immediately. Rob usually only eyes precise theories, so I'd guess the hex is most important

[hidden nacelle]

[

[hasty anvil]

so is it 10A55B

[slender sedge]

did he eye any hex before? I probably missed it

[hasty anvil]

OR 17AD5B

[gloomy anvil]

eyes

[crisp glen]

17ad5b is a green hex color

[slender sedge]

ah OH

i missed id like right now LOL

[snow walrus]

Binary number cant start with 0 we can eliminate most left 0 digit

Its like sayin 012

[crisp glen]

oh yeah 1551707 got eyed

[earnest wagon]

Really wish I was at my desk. That number leapt out to me. I know I know it!

[proud minnow]

BTW this is not anything new or crucial, just a thing that people missed in the Open Beta, and reading through the channel today, I saw a link to an old clue that no one found last year... ._.

[gloomy anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/sockmonkey-monkey-gif-7783628

[hasty anvil]

ohhh so it's in game

[earnest wagon]

Well it’s a prime clue!

[proud minnow]

But still connected

[hasty anvil]

What tier were we on during the open beta?

[earnest wagon]

As are all things (except gravitation waves, sadly)

[gloomy anvil]

T2ABC and T2DEF

[crisp glen]

1551707 links to an amino benzoic acid on google

[proud minnow]

This clue I actually think died with the Open Beta... I will have to look in the game tomorrow... ._.

[misty raven]

So

[slender sedge]

so it's a dead end?

[misty raven]

Golden eggs huh

[hasty anvil]

Give us a hint we will find it

[hasty anvil]

not completely

[shadow shore]

15th, of the 51st, 1707 b.c .. prove me wrong

[hard forge]

Gold clue?

[earnest wagon]

Don’t you mean 51st of the 15th?

[shadow shore]

Oh yes good spot, 51st of the 15th**

[hard forge]

15 may 1707

[hasty anvil]

Maybe a G=6 clue since we have it this tier too

[proud minnow]

OFC not, but remember that only about 60% or so of all the clues are found... but they are all connected in the big web.

[snow walrus]

15|51 7|0|7

There is a kind of symmetry

[sharp flame]

make that like 30% 😭 you're being too generous

[hasty anvil]

0FC? 🤔

[proud minnow]

I was trying to be nice fish, haha

[light walrus]

im sticking to my birth of gold neutron star merger theory for now

[earnest wagon]

Oh! Did OSPUZE is Gamer Pee get any eyes, or does this lore go deeper than Rob?

[unkempt arrow]

I’m pulling a dead end with my wild guess

[gloomy anvil]

I would like to stick with my Aeneid theory, but... seems like a dead end for now

[unkempt arrow]

It’s not a dead end! Just a wrong turn… in the wrong country…

1551707 - reminded me of leet (1337), so I tried decoding it, and got issitot

[earnest wagon]

I know that feeling. I can’t bear to remove my Urania’s Mirror one from the board, even if it stemmed partially from the NYT Crossword clue that may or may not be correct any more.

It all fit so neatly!

[gloomy anvil]

no sweat, all roads lead to Rome anyway

[misty raven]

does anyone have one of those pinboards with the red string??

[gloomy anvil]

yep https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t3-dyra282bx402xxzy

[unkempt arrow]

Rob definitely does

[misty raven]

oh slick!

[gloomy anvil]

We use Padlets for each tier, you can check them all out in #egg-hunt-onboarding

[misty raven]

From what rob was saying though, seems like you need one BIG one to connect it all eventually

[earnest wagon]

Likely going to need collective therapy too.

[misty raven]

always the case with these things

[hasty anvil]

Holtow insurance should cover it

No new eyes as far as I saw

[cloud wyvern]

thank you holtow

[misty raven]

Thanks Holtow

The lore vid? Been holding that off until embark officially releases it

[misty raven]

the REDACTED ?

[winged tartan]

Bet just making sure

[sharp flame]

yeah this is the best idea

rob said it's not meant to be viewed yet

[solar pier]

It's gettin harder to do😭

[sharp flame]

wait a day I reckon, for the patch, but that might come on Monday

[runic scaffold]

This would be the first game that I'm actually an original player

[winged tartan]

It wasn’t meant to be view yet? Damn myb

[median island]

Anyone looked into Wrinkles in Time any more? I was onto some stuff last night that seemed plausible but wasn't blessed with a 👀

[sharp flame]

is okay I'm sure the time will be soon, they had to get it into this week's patch, not next weeks

👀

[solar pier]

I hope so because I crave lore

So what exactly should be looked into rn because I'm lost

[turbid tinsel]

theres smaller letters or something inside the letters in the background behind his head.

[slender sedge]

oh, where can I find all the clues for T1 F?

I think I'm onto something

[hard forge]

wiki

[slender sedge]

I'm in wiki now, I think I'm blind and I don't see anything about tiers there 😅 https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/In-Game_Easter_Eggs

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/TFEE_T1F

[slender sedge]

ty!

[harsh osprey]

I didn't see anything scrolling up, and I haven't seen anybody talking about it, does anybody know how this ties into anything? Not sure if it's lore or an easter egg 😕 https://youtu.be/E19AaJz-_LA?si=iArQenQxzAEGBe1S

[misty raven]

^

[fervent moat]

crazyyy

[slender sedge]

so Rob mentioned that this still wasn't solved from old clues, and he eyed number 1551707

I went to the sheet file with unsolved clues and found this fro T1F
3 strange lines on blueprint Clock? HH:MM:SS? 5:15:15 or 17:15:15? Nama's perspective: 01:00:30 / 13:00:30

I guess this is about this blueprint here -> #easter-eggs message, but I have no idea how do you get 5:15:15 with those lines

[harsh osprey]

ohh was that not supposed to be found? oops

[misty raven]

Ya but they expected that we would

[harsh osprey]

lmao

[median island]

Man. I've been looking into Ernest Rutherford because of his gold foil experiments, nobel prize, and mention in Wrinkles in time

but i think its a dead end........... Q.Q

the distances of the elements on the periodic table are almost the golden ratio too

Tantalum (from the coordinates on the periodic table) / Zinc / Sulfur (all used in Rutherford's experiments) have a ratio of 1.6 and... 1.7. SO CLOSE

[hard forge]

If it's 15 mins and 15 seconds, then the minutes and seconds hand will overlap

[slender sedge]

yeah, that's the text that I've seen in the sheets, maybe it's not the image they were referring to? but I ciuldn't find any other blueprints with the lines, so my question is how they got 17:15:15 (cuz the numbers are very similar to eyed ones)

[pallid rock]

im back

we got any eyes from rob?

[slender sedge]

#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message

[odd crater]

the twitch drop spray is there somenting there?

[pallid rock]

niceeee

[pallid rock]

possibly, we already did some playing around with it

I dont think its lore related, just a fun easter egg

i could be wrong

[odd crater]

but in the new gamemode or a normal las vega match?

[pallid rock]

both

I believe

[odd crater]

they dont add a new gamemode event artwork. hum

[unborn pilot]

51 & 70 are 3F in hex.

Not sure about 15 and 7 besides being O and G in letter to number

Also 1551 is a palindrome, so is 707

Rob watching as we probably ignore the one good lead that's set up for us: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/827407242025500674/1202795270237192242/3b4.png?ex=65cec163&is=65bc4c63&hm=0463fe6e888d21aab5a4afe2d186eef51cea48726645b40c37c726f7799dbeda&

[misty raven]

In our defense the last lead we got was advanced number theory so

[rotund elbow]

What was this?

[misty raven]

this

was in reply to some maths stuff

but he later said that it wasn't a crucial step right now anyway

[median island]

All the stuff I'm running into seems to have frequency/pulsing as a key factor. Is this what going crazy feels like?

[misty raven]

yes

But I think it's part of it too

Mainly the holtow gifs

I mean I assume this is holtow related

Why do I always miss the rob sightings 😔

[rotund elbow]

I got off straight after this
#easter-eggs message

[solar pier]

So I'm not the only one😭

[shadow shore]

I've only spotted Rob in the wild twice now, I'm usually asleep too haha

Maybe thrice come to think of it 🤔

[solar pier]

Lol I've seen him like once
