easter-eggs

[quaint stream]

No not glitches. The glitch was the cow badge

[kind patio]

oh yeah did we get anywhere else with CCLXIX? like did we work out anything else from it?

[quaint stream]

#easter-eggs message

[umbral shell]

Well you could also view the CCLXIX as 100100050109

[kind patio]

yeah, have you tried googling that?

[nocturne sphinx]

Anything connect to Vedic text or Hinduism? The Hiraṇyagarbha is a golden cosmic egg of creation

[kind patio]

https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.478078/2015.478078.Bengal-Legislative_djvu.txt I found this after googling 100100050109

[kind patio]

aparently this is Bishnupriya Manipuri
(or possibly Bengali) according to a langauge identifier

[silent plover]

#easter-eggs message

Rob even stated that he intends for us to combine images.

[kind patio]

Is there like a gallery of all images that are confirmed clues?

[umbral shell]

I did

[kind patio]

Nevermind just found the thread lol

[silent plover]

Not that I know of. So far I think ques, tion, and vvv are the main images.

Maybe his message alludes to using more of the previous tiers’ images for combining though.

[worn flame]

Awesome! Thanks for clearing that up!

[kind patio]

perhaps, I mean the 331224924 I got from CCLXIX lead to this https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Venn-diagram-depicting-the-common-genes-differentially-regulated-in-MCF7-cells-after_fig3_331224924 and aparently it was part of a previous tier so maybe cause thing I found leads to an old image then maybe we do have to go back and start looking at other images

[kind patio]

So maybe we have to start going back through the previous images

[merry ocean]

We have the golden egg aspect, which match the first gold question mark and then white shaded (egg like) question mark, which seems to correlate. Then there's robs comment about 5 truths (only 5 things that are true for this level). On the padlet board, should we be focusing on 5 things that Rob has eyeballed to find the link between those specifically?

[kind patio]

Yeah probably, just thinking that maybe we arent COMPLEATLY done with the old images

Also thinking of the golden egg, idk if anyone has said this yet but at the end of ready player one, a movie about a time in the future where everything is in VR, at the end theres a golden egg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GorI9emZOc

[kind patio]

Around 3:29 you see it btw

anyways i gtg but good luck people

[valid lichen]

We have related some things back to RP1 but it was just comparisons I don't think any discoveries were found

[silent plover]

Could the “ques” and “tion” images be intended to be used as raster masks for the other images in their respective categories?

[worldly dust]

not my vid but theres a blinking light on the moon if it hasnt been metioned yet

[hard forge]

good luck chat with linking clues

[worldly dust]

might be morse code ^

[worn flame]

This has been chatted about quite a bit. Dont have the link to the thread right now though

[lapis sparrow]

can yall add me to padlet

praseodymium is elemrnt 59

[nocturne marten]

I thought XLII was 42

[hearty meteor]

iilx would be an incorrect notation

[lapis sparrow]

what should I try right now

[hearty meteor]

ty

[spice lark]

So, Rob says the following: "There have been multiple clues hidden that you can only find by combining multiple images (and no, you will not find it be randomly trying, when you see the pattern, it is easy)... but I don’t think anyone has been found..."

Rob also says the following: "There is not just one "Step 1" you need to do try many different things on each step, put them together and compare, remove a function and compare again etc... then you start seeing repeating patterns, then you know you are on to something... then you move to the next step, and so on... This was the first time Klee was hidden, and the first time a clue is hidden it should be hard, almost impossible... that's part of the Eureka-moment, the answer was there all the time... you just need to open your eyes. "

We were also given clear examples of 3 steps out of 11.

Perhaps the 3rd step of that image was the final form of THAT IMAGE, and what we really need to do next is overlay another image on this image to create a new image (a new step!). I think we really need to focus on overlaying images to some regard because I was watching the finals beta trailer frame by frame last night and there were two frames that had namatama in them in this weird grass-like world and it looked like if you were to overlay ONLY the parts that were important it would create a fuller image of something else. If you ask me, this is the next thing we should be focusing on collectively.

[lapis sparrow]

any cns theories?

[pure loom]

That's why I said an Isle of Man meme haha

[worn flame]

Is there a place to put all finalized Edited images?

[lapis sparrow]

are there any supernovas jn Vulpecula constellation?

[silent plover]

https://www.mathworks.com/help/images/specify-roi-as-binary-mask.html
Regions of Interest seem pertinent to this hunt. Combined with Rob’s eyes on things related to binary I think this is worth a look

[lapis sparrow]

back on this from @hard current

[jade citrus]

did rob ever confirm anything related to the flashing moon lights? i dont see anything using Discord search

[silent plover]

Bit masking and binary masking are two things that stand out to me

[lapis sparrow]

looks like neutron stars colliding @hard current where did you get this image

[silent plover]

It’s from the vvv namatama’s hand

[lapis sparrow]

what is a vvv

yall can hate, its all good.

[lapis sparrow]

who is ophelia

[silent plover]

Wait, maybe it was actually from the 404 namatama’s hand

[jade citrus]

you mean odilia?

[nocturne sphinx]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW170817

[lapis sparrow]

I’m looking at the padlet, rob said hamlet=ophelia=five truths

[nocturne sphinx]

8] A total of 16,000 times the mass of the Earth in heavy elements is believed to have formed, including approximately 10 Earth masses just of the two elements gold and platinum.[49]

[jade citrus]

ah, I think Ophelia was a character in Hamlet

[long herald]

Looking at the guitar skin, am I seeing things? Appears to be a spot near the damaged corner that has some letters scratched in - hard to see with the reflection but definitely some depth there that appears more than texture: https://imgur.com/a/NphrLCC (looks like "TAB" to me)

[coarse dagger]

This isn't stated anywhere. Please try to avoid spreading misinformation. Photo manipulation is the main source of our clues.

cause they said no photo manipulation and stuff

[earnest wagon]

She was, I've gone over the Hamlet = Ophelia = Five Truths a whole bunch if anyone wants to search for it.

[jade citrus]

speaking of misinformation, can you check on this real quick? #easter-eggs message

[fossil valley]

• • "Las Vegas 2032 - We're looking for 'a lot of stars' on this map that we believe relate to the current T3 puzzle" Did we check the stars in the thumbnail with the egg on the main menu of the game. I think it's the third dot's image. There are stars and maybe something hidden in the small image? Maybe a bit too obvious but I had to ask. 🙂

[hasty anvil]

I don’t remember Rob having any interaction with this personally

[long herald]

Is this related? the notes / riff + "TAB"?

[worn flame]

Do the images we need to use come from Embrak or could the paintings along the way hold some truth?

[hasty anvil]

Right now, just embark, might be used later

Or what paintings did you mean?

You can look for a hidden message about gold eggs in a Paul Klee painting but I'm not sure you'll find much

[jade citrus]

yes he mentioned the moon lights i think

[worn flame]

Was wondering if theres any sense of trying to overlay/edit the ab ovo one

[hard current]

likely not, there's nothing that will be "hidden" in that painting that science hasn't discovered, unless rob somehow made something in an image that requires an overlay of that painting... which would be insane

[merry ocean]

Did we reach a dead end with the cypher key tests using the egg image pulled from the QR code in he VVV image?

[coarse dagger]

This is misinformation.

This is what rob said:
#easter-eggs message

Don't waste time on that, there is nothing hidden in the different versions of the namatamas...

We've found TONS of clues in Namatama images. Rob is referring to the alternate versions which have no background. Both versions are in #official-art, but only the images with backgrounds have clues!

[worn flame]

Ok good! Glad thats the case! Would hate to waste a bunch of time on that

[lapis sparrow]

what on this?

[hard current]

hey btw... @coarse dagger do you recall when rob brought rubies into this tier for... some reason.. afaik we never went anywhere with that

and fire engine red

[coarse dagger]

Here:
#easter-eggs message

[hard current]

we never figured out why right? it seemed completely random and tbh after everything we've found.. it still feels completely random

[lofty temple]

Whoever runs the wiki - the gold question mark is not downloadable.

[coarse dagger]

Just a bunch of theories, nothing confirmed AFAIK

[hard current]

I'd get it straight from the site in #egg-hunt-onboarding

wth... do you have certain settings changed at all? never seen that before

[worn flame]

I was curious about this. Didnt know if was a texture glitch on my end or something. Writing On The Wall LOL

[cloud wyvern]

man, i've read up summaries of the "five truths" and i see a lot of parallels that could be drawn to the game itself but not much about the answer to this tier.

[spice lark]

OSPUZE (liquid inside) kinda looks like gold egg yolk, just throwing this out there.

[turbid tinsel]

ive seen it before

[hard current]

is it... new? or has it been around for some time?

[cloud wyvern]

i get that texture glitch a lot in vegas.

[worn flame]

Speaking of which, is that line referencing " SL LIES" only or something else?

[turbid tinsel]

its on either just that wall or a few

upstairs in a spot

[hard current]

it'd be funny if since holtow is hacked and they protect damages they stop supporting the finals and we end up with "cheap" arenas

[gloomy anvil]

do you know if that's for T3 or the final level?

[charred otter]

hi

[fallen jasper]

?

[hard current]

not sure, it was brought up during this tier, rob said there were "many clues" pointing to rubies in the past

Any chance you could look into recreating this? #easter-eggs message

i play on the highest settings

[normal holly]

just looks like a bug but sure

Yeah it’s probably a bug, but the way the light moves gradually away from the camera makes it seem like it deserves a second check

all the cashouts and vaults just spawned in that building 💀

nothing happened

anything else i should be looking for in vegas?

Gold is a noble metal and xenon is noble gas

Pasteur's (and others) empirical results were summarized in the phrase, Omne vivum ex vivo (or Omne vivum ex ovo), Latin for "all life [is] from [an] egg". This is sometimes called "law of biogenesis" and shows that modern organisms do not spontaneously arise in nature from non-life.

Placing the message in a physical item has been widely used for centuries.[6] Some notable examples include invisible ink on paper, writing a message in Morse code on yarn worn by a courier,[6] microdots, and even the pitches of musical notes in sheet music. [7]

👀 zamn

[misty raven]

I'm a steganography believer. I saw an image that looked a lot like the steps that Rob showed us and have been looking into it since. It's complex tho so more brains on it would be helpful

[iron wedge]

that is totally the big billboard on seoul

[cloud wyvern]

my thoughts too.

[cloud wyvern]

rob said that he tried many steganography tools with vvv.png and said they could not find anything. we (mostly me) have been talking about it in this thread: https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1198659083587297350 if you have anything to add that could be useful

at this point figuring out how he hid the message in vvv.png isn't really important anymore but i am still interested in trying to crack it.

[alpine junco]

Also the fact there are like 100 different ways to find stuff through steganography

[opaque thistle]

I've also seen some weird stuff with reflections before, I saw one of a hallway in the thread for markup I believe.. and in the practice range if you start from the tutorial and use the inspect of the night vis as a mirror you actually can see the wall thats broke to get out of the tutorial area is still there in it. And the girl with the white gown on holding the roses has a little red thing at her foot

[cloud wyvern]

my theory right now is that it is a half finished stereograph. but i'm ditching cracking it at the moment and trying to figure out this GOSH DANG PASSWORD

[alpine junco]

Im still firm on my ?? theory

[unreal cove]

match these wıth the announcers quotes

[unkempt dune]

so about the five truths.. gold, egg, latin, space.. can't greek be the fifth one?

greek has been used during this ee, right?

[cloud wyvern]

roman numerals have been used frequently

[iron wedge]

as far as I know is mostly roman

[quaint stream]

I'm like "oh yeah the giant billboard behind me" literally nothing

[alpine junco]

Roman mythology

[iron wedge]

but the golden egg comes from a greek book

originally, but is more focused on what laid the golden egg than the egg itself

[coarse dagger]

To be clear, Rob said "forensic tools":
#easter-eggs message

Yes, but this is nothing I think any “standard photoshop tricks” or online forensic tools can find… I tried a lot them, and not a trace

[iron wedge]

we have to have someone that works on forensic areas on the community right?

[alpine junco]

Just use free forensic tools on the internet

[unkempt dune]

paul klee is supposed to guide us to the right answer. ab ovo got the eyes, which is all about the beginning.. the question marks for the golden egg could be related to where it originates from

[iron wedge]

the golden egg comes from the aesop's fables

[unkempt dune]

aesop was mentioned by question images' modification dates

[iron wedge]

we need to get a copy of the book maybe it has a Major clue

[upper dove]

Idk if this has been discovered but the most recent art rob posted has what look like qr codes at the bottom when I used a forensic tool

[alpine junco]

The #official-art art? Thats been known

we have dug into aesop many a time and it did not get any notes from rob, maybe there’s something but just a heads up

Just in case im gonna do a Quick read to see if I found anything

[jade citrus]

we've made some "progress" since the most recent official art was posted

[turbid tinsel]

honestly im just waiting on eyes from rob

[silent plover]

Just like a binary pulsar

[turbid tinsel]

once we get the confirmation were good to go i think

[hard current]

did you edit that pic anymore so I could see what you meant about the xenon crystals lol

[turbid tinsel]

2 more hours at work and i can after

[median island]

I know the guitar was used a while ago for the G chord stuff, but did yall notice/use the smudges that (kinda) look like QR code pieces? Someone pointed it out yesterday but didnt get much attention

[unreal cove]

Did anyone read the barcode on the monaco dıorama?

[jade citrus]

the QR code in SKyway goes to reachthefinals.com

[opaque thistle]

🥵

[unreal cove]

there is another one of the white boards

[turbid tinsel]

does anyone have an image of the cards that showed up next to nama in the video?

[jade citrus]

there's more frames than just this

[alpine junco]

And all the cards fly so fast we dont know their hand

Plus nama tama is the dealer

[unreal cove]

i found two images on reacthefinals.com

[alpine junco]

You sure?

[unreal cove]

did anyone clıck on the sponsors under the site

[jade citrus]

yep

[unreal cove]

ok

[alpine junco]

Just realized nama tama is the black jack dealer

[lofty temple]

Lol there is a shop called "Robs" in the out of bounds part of the map in steal the spotlight.

[turbid tinsel]

isnt 17 the highest a dealer will go before they wont hit again or is that 18?

[alpine junco]

Ace 6 is soft 17 so player wins

But it seems nama tama hit and got a jack

[long herald]

Yeah I followed up on this today - just joined but I found markings on the guitar near the damaged part, looks like "TAB" scratched in: https://imgur.com/a/NphrLCC. Wonder if they are related somehow - ie. guitar tabs

[umbral shell]

lol I’m a dealer in real life! So interesting

[alpine junco]

Its literally just a smashed version of Elvis’s guitar

[umbral shell]

Soft 17 depends on casino, my casino we hit on soft 17 unless table specifically says so

[alpine junco]

Btw is the roulette wheel gun European or american

[jade citrus]

European I think

[unreal cove]

eu

[umbral shell]

it is^

[alpine junco]

European roulette wheel but las vegas has the american roulette wheel

Unless last vegas casinos play european

[umbral shell]

how do i post a pic? im on 29a.ch and see some letters on the back of the nama tama mirror but It looks like "RGD"

[median island]

Not this part, one sec.

[alpine junco]

Send to me

[umbral shell]

got you

[unreal marlin]

does anyone else notice that when you join a las vegas map theres 2 guitar chordes that plays while youre in the loading screen?

[median island]

2 guitar chodes LOL

[umbral shell]

thank you

[umbral shell]

this is inane lmaoooo

insane*

[unreal cove]

did you guys notıce flowers ın lvl 1 of the battlepass kında look lıke a steganography?

[long herald]

Has anyone looked into Red Rock Casino? Apparently it's the only(?) casino in vegas where you can play european single zero roulette

[jade citrus]

i dont think we've looked into this yet

[long herald]

nvm I think thats incorrect info

[unreal marlin]

lol my bad. thought i typed an r. i was tryin to get it wrote out before i forgot again since i was in the middle of loading a match

anywas, its the only map that does it. anyone looked into it yet?

[novel ember]

have you guys figured out the pass yet?

[pure loom]

Just thinking about the roses in the practice range - at a story level, the roses could represent what was supposed to be a romantic moment that actually became a breakup. One person brings flowers for another but leaves the park single. This could somehow connect with the Break Up emoticon - which also happens to have 5 hearts (c.f. 5 roses)

[long herald]

Really wish there was an offline mode 😅 searching for the WR is so painful in quick play

[median island]

I did try to use this while at the bench/with the roses... also tried the bouquet smash emote and the "Love" hand sign

[unreal cove]

ı was talkıng about thıs

[pure loom]

good thinking

[median island]

but i agree, suspicious that there's 5 broken hearts and 5 roses, we might just be missing a step

[long herald]

There are a lot of references to bouquets but I couldn't figure out how you would assemble them 😅 has anyone tried leaving a rose in front of each of the competitor "statues"

[pure loom]

Flowery speech also has 5 flowers

[median island]

I also brought a rose as a peace offering (and used the emotes/sound effects) to the bots that auto target/shoot you. They did not accept my date proposal.

[umbral shell]

this also makes sense in context with Tristan & Iseult

[long herald]

Same 😂 I took the bullets as a no

[pure loom]

The other thought I had was that there were 6 roses (more traditional), and the 6th one is hidden somewhere in game

[median island]

Ey Rockhound while you're here, I know yall used the guitar a bunch for the chords, but did you guys use the pixelly-QRcode looking smudges?

[long herald]

Are we looking for the maintenance company? Lmao

[pure loom]

and Ruffled Feathers has 5 feathers - probably looks balanced artistically

[median island]

Someone found it yesterday, but I didnt see a thread or any mentions in the past... Working on an upload

you have some experience

[unreal cove]

in seul ı found numbers at the waıtıng corrıdoors

[normal holly]

thanks

[dim nest]

Hi, I'm new here on the server. I'm not sure if anyone has commented on this yet, but speaking of QR code. Has anyone seen more about the Holtow QR code? The website that this QR code leads to has a glitching screen now.

Do y'all just throw a game to look? 😅 not sure the other options, free cam is never enough time

[normal holly]

my teammates were killing me

[pure loom]

iirc, we couldn't get it to function as a QR code

[normal holly]

if there are 2 other people searching for rabbits rn we can q up

[median island]

yall see the smudges on the back side too? or just the front side. Might need to be pieced together

[dim nest]

Tks!

[pure loom]

oh, on the sticker plate thing in the menus you mean?

[median island]

nah one sec lemme upload

man i need to rank up... would be so much easier to post pics

[long herald]

How long do you think the contestants have been stuck?

[unreal cove]

this easter egg hunt ıs lıke fnaf 4 lol

people that are ın coma and stuff lıke that lol

[long herald]

What iteration of the "game" is this - feels like the whole scottie thing is just to prevent contestants from thinking about it too much, what if it's been years? The whole matrix pod thing to me just screams some sort of sword art situation. Is it malicious or did something go wrong? Are contestants memories being wiped regularly

[normal holly]

dream theory

[median island]

https://imgur.com/a/ufFdDqd

[pure loom]

well, THE FINALS is set about 75 years in the future, but there's evidence that the story to it began in 1982 - which "coincidentally" must be very close to when the ARC Raiders event occurred on Earth (when ARC took over)

[pure loom]

interesting. I'll have a look in game too

[median island]

@pallid sorrel found it on the top, so credit to them. I just spun the guitar around and found more on the back

[unreal cove]

That explaıns the old machınes ın the hospıtal

[median island]

https://youtu.be/ehh8eTd992o for anyone that wants to see the guitar QR code-like pixels in the smudges. @pallid sorrel I tried to upload something a bit easier to share

[long herald]

I think if scottie was indeed a former contestant, that he is truly a former contestant. Scottie found out too much, was eliminated and his digitial personality uploaded to the system as an announcer to help avoid suspicion about a top contestant disappearing. Their voice acting is being done by AI, yeah? Don't think it would be that big of a stretch

Either that or there was a malfunction or accident with the software being used - if these are matrix like pods, what if Scottie died in one? That would be a huge insurance / liability thing and maybe shut down the whole contest or company

[pure loom]

I've just noticed pressing the letter "k" while in the credits makes one noise and then another, like on and off

[cedar salmon]

i mentioned this yesterday, can anyone confirm this is a visual bug? its located in main entrance to eastwood casino, on the left side if im correct. i thougth it was a visual bug but never seen one like this before. white outline when looking at it from afar and the outline disappears when you get closer.

[random bramble]

If you mash it does it produce some kind of morse code? And does it happen with any other keyboard key?

[jade citrus]

that's the sound of you joining/leaving VC. you can also do it in the main menu

[random bramble]

oh lmao

[pure loom]

silly rhb what would rob say!

[median island]

I'm thinkin so. I'm trying to draw it out, the fact that they're smudges makes it hella annoying

[random bramble]

if he eyes that I'm off to Sweden

[rain comet]

What ever it happened

[pure loom]

no need to mention that to him...

[unreal cove]

maybe it's two seperate qr codes that needs to be put together

[jade citrus]

he isnt the first person to make that misconception lol

[hard current]

I expect to see this in your next video

[rain comet]

imagine they adding easter egg, just to reference it

[jade citrus]

trueeeeeeeeeeee

[pure loom]

*makes next video private

[unreal cove]

who is rob? ı came here like an hour or so ago

[umbral shell]

the mastermind

[rain comet]

SACRIFICE THIS MORTAL TO ALL MIGHTY NAMA TAMA

[rain comet]

oh thats where the giant floatin flamingo came from

[jade citrus]

i love how you always have this pic ready at a moments notice 😆

[median island]

I think each section of the smudges is a section of the QR code. Might be missing one tho

[pure loom]

the in-game one came before the one with Rob

[hard current]

who isn’t Rob? Rob is you… rob is me.. rob is all of us… perchance the one “named” Rob.. why, he leads this hunt, he is our saint, our leader. God Rob, or Saint Rob as some call him, lends us a helping hand in our hour of need (he is the embark co founder that has created this hunt, and reads the chat and uses 👀 reaction to say when something is correct)

[unreal cove]

oh now ı get it

thanks

[median island]

btw yall notice there are shops on Vegas called "Robs Wristbands"? with like 10% off of orders 90 or more or something. And now I realize why - in that flamingo pic he's wearing at least two different wristbands lol

[pure loom]

haha, true. I only have two other pics of Rob, so it gets used a bit

[normal holly]

you missed the large pattern on the back of the headstock of the guitar

[median island]

dooope. Thanks

[normal holly]

oh im orange now

[jovial mortar]

Correct me if I'm misremembering, but I feel like I remember Scotty's voice being pretty clear while June's voice was all compressed in the new cutscene, could this point to Scotty being a part of the simulation, while June is just communicating with it?

[rain comet]

damn cool

[normal holly]

june is a figment of scottys brain

[pure loom]

and I think the in-game ones might refer to the ARC Raiders flamingos

[rain comet]

@pure loom Can you ask rob if clown themed cosmetics are coming?

[long herald]

Scotty = dead confirmed

[pure loom]

I've already sent him the question list! Might have to ask him next time he's here

[rain comet]

cool

[jovial mortar]

maybe the real June was the friends we made along the way

[rain comet]

I would like to see carnival themed map one day

[pure loom]

that'd be cool

[light walrus]

I am Rob and this is a lie

Hey @pure loom did you saw the guitar markings video i sent here?

[pure loom]

I've just been looking at the guitar now. It's a bit hard to tell if it's part of the texture or not

[rain comet]

Can you post it?

[gloomy anvil]

I think we should stop relying on eye emojis

[random bramble]

Guess who just became piss colored

how many tımes did rob put on eye emojı

[median island]

fkin embed fail

[jovial mortar]

I think scotty drank too much ozpuze and became one with the simulation

[random bramble]

at least 2

[unreal cove]

then we're fucked

[pure loom]

yeah, I thought it was just wood grain

[normal holly]

it looks like its just part of the texture but idk why a flat spot would just have that but idk how we would even manage to piece a qr code together with that

[rain comet]

Its part of a qr code

[hard current]

that is my cat and my other cat

[random bramble]

if that's a QR code how on earth are we expected to extract that, considering datamining game files is not kosher

[pallid sorrel]

Maybe we can photoshop it and arrange it like jigsaw puzzle

But that seems impossible

[deft mantle]

could it be binary?

[rain comet]

maybe

[pallid sorrel]

That was my first thought

[deft mantle]

or Braille?

[jovial mortar]

skibidi toilet is canon right?

so if anyone is like hella good at stitching images together pls halp

[worn flame]

its also on the backside as well...

[median island]

Theres some on the neck too. I missed that on my first look

[normal holly]

i think its just part of the texture

[worn flame]

Thats what im thinking

[rain comet]

That guitar looks like its the offspring of Gibson and Stratocaster

[median island]

Idk man that looks suspicious @normal holly

and we know how much Rob likes his QR codes

[pure loom]

there are some letters and numbers on the back of the dart board charm

[unreal cove]

maybe to get a more clenaer ımage we should lower the brıghtness of the photo

[normal holly]

yeah i know but its pretty similar to the pixely texture on the safe charm

[pure loom]

pretty small

[median island]

Yeh tryin now.

[worn flame]

SIgnature something... #1/1

[median island]

I wouldnt be surprised if its a G6 reference, in which case ima be very sad

[umbral shell]

has anyone checked the gold bar you get for signing up to embark?

[pure loom]

Oh, that's the guitar - signature model #1/1

[gloomy anvil]

@rich grove ⬆️ if you're down to get a clearer screenshot :)

[normal holly]

i think its probably just using low resolution stuff to not use high quality textures or something

[pure loom]

but the dart board charm attached to it has a number and what looks like an A

[worn flame]

Doesnt seem important to me. I think just details not related to EE

[pure loom]

yeah, I was pointing out the dart board charm, not the guitar

[quaint stream]

So I'm confused, is this what he wanted to get fused together

[rain comet]

headstock looks like it has some sort of code on it

[worn flame]

Yep Yep! I see that too!

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/ken-jeong-community-too-small-to-read-read-reading-gif-5494204

yeah im 90% sure its just texture dog tag charm is very similar with reflection pixels

need to get low brıghtness on that too

maybe OSPUZE isn't as bad for you as we think. 45 calories?

[normal holly]

no sugar but has sugar

[median island]

don't think about it too hard

[normal holly]

ospuze doesnt obey laws

[late girder]

Actually (at least in the US) if it's less than 0.5mg of sugar it's still sugar free.

Also different rules for natural sugars

[silent plover]

Yeah the revolver is “45 cal”.

[pure loom]

marketers ruin everything

[turbid tinsel]

man not even out of work and im questioning my assumption now

[ionic orbit]

@spice lark i assume that was you we just saw easter egg hunting on Monaco?

[rain comet]

btw

i think the 3 headed monkey is inside or on one of the cannons

[spice lark]

@ionic orbit oh yeah

I still think it's a certain cannon order

want to party up and try looking inside cannons while firing them?

[ionic orbit]

im not up to date on the easter egg hunting stuff so i'd kinda be out of it, i check in on this channel once in a while. I was recording for a video and we had spectated you and saw you were staring at a pillar and i figured you were on shrooms or was doing an EE

[normal holly]

lmao

[ionic orbit]

hoping we get custom games for EE hunting it would make it a lot easier

[spice lark]

true

i thought that you thought i was on shrooms, which was way funnier to me

[ionic orbit]

I did some easter egg hunting on past battlefields but you guys are so far into this one i have no idea where to even jump in at (i do enjoy doing easter egg hunts from these guys though)

[normal holly]

thats why ive just been looking for rabbits bc its something i dont need to catch up on every thing

[median island]

Current theory is it has some sorta chemicals for "bad stuff". Mind control and whatnot. Alternate theory is it's gamer pee.

[spice lark]

I think Ospuze is the egg yolk juice, personally.

[median island]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/TFEE_T3 the wiki is a great palce to start. It has a synopsis of past clues/solves and the current big stuff @ionic orbit @normal holly

[ionic orbit]

yea ive seen those on Seoul in particular

[spice lark]

@normal holly can i join you for rabbit hunting?

I have some theories on where to look

[normal holly]

sure, i bet our teammate will have fun 🙂

[median island]

i can join if yall need a third

[normal holly]

any progress in the last 10 hours?

[brisk hearth]

not really

[pallid sorrel]

yea i saw it yesterday was tryin to enhance it

[quaint stream]

I just wish we knew if there was something we're supposed to be figuring out in the STS mode before it goes away

[pallid sorrel]

also might be someting on the moon charm on bottom side it keeps on rotating so its a pain to see its like a spot or somethin maybe nothin @pure loom

[quaint stream]

Reminder that KAWAII CANDY SHOP sniper rifle has a T3 sticker on it

[iron wedge]

got a better look at the blood moon, its Hard to notice but is made out of triangles

[silk bolt]

isn't everything in games made of triangles

[quaint stream]

The clouds blocking the moon remind me of the eyes of Nama Tama

[iron wedge]

squares

and every single triangle has its own light level, some get more darker some get lighter

[pure loom]

Isn't that the top of the arena?

[iron wedge]

probably, maybe is more noticeable on the moon due to the size

nope, is the moon, check the border, the triangles deform when it get to the border of the moon

[quaint stream]

The Runny Shadow has some weird looking stuff but I'm probably super schizo

[iron wedge]

I took one on the free camera but the filter mess up all the detail

[quaint stream]

Did you see the golden egg in the las vegas reflection

[pure loom]

no, where is that?

[iron wedge]

weird, the photo on the xbox app looked worse

[spice lark]

weird

[quaint stream]

@pure loom

It's only in reflections facing north too

[pure loom]

like windows?

[quaint stream]

I found it by looking at a kiosk in vegas, windows don't really work

[pure loom]

OK, I'll check it out

[quaint stream]

And it totally looks like Seoul and not vegas

[pure loom]

jumping into STS now

[iron wedge]

I took the time to check the billboard

[silk bolt]

yeah visible triangles but what does it mean..

[iron wedge]

is a golden safe

[quaint stream]

Oh strange

[shrewd fog]

anyone want to try to figure out the roses easter egg in practice mode with me? my guess is we'll need 3 people

[quaint stream]

Still strange it's on reflections in vegas though

But I'm glad it's not THAT crazy.

[pure loom]

So, when you get the arena ring in a reflection, you can see what looks like a giant Namatama floating in it, but it's not visible otherwise @quaint stream is that what you saw?

[quaint stream]

No I didn't see that, that's definitely interesting and WEIRD but its #easter-eggs message apparently

[pure loom]

What are we seeing there - the whole map looks golden?

[quaint stream]

I'll send you a game capture of what I'm seeing

[random bramble]

The reflection Husbandrew posted is from Vegas and for some reason the reflection is the (same as the) billboard on Seoul that biohazard posted

[pure loom]

oh, wtf - Seoul on Vegas

[random bramble]

It's the same billboard I think, but no clue why it shows up in a reflection on Vegas

[turbid tinsel]

seek the truth beyond the walls

mirror seems to be the key

[normal holly]

reusing assets better than making new

[turbid tinsel]

prob not but good theory

[silk bolt]

what we gonna do

[fossil valley]

the easter egg reflections are in the dark hotel room windows of Eastwood afaik

[shrewd fog]

im currently seeing what is there 5 of in here, since there are 5 roses, I found 5 lamps in the forest area as well, placed a rose on each, but nothing happened

@silk bolt lmk if you want to join

[dusky quail]

Hi y’all

[normal holly]

roses might need a certain class

[alpine whale]

Why do you think so?

[ionic orbit]

very likely not EE related, its just a reflective texture that's a lower resolution very commonly used in most games.

[normal holly]

idk just might be something only 1 class has really anything is possible

[alpine whale]

Unless it's linked to a weapon/gadget idk

[shrewd fog]

wait that box near the roses becomes electricuted when you shoot it enough 🤔

[alpine whale]

I have tried putting the flowers on the tables behind the building thou, cause 5 tables have the umbrella beneith them

No results

[shrewd fog]

@alpine whale wanna join the same game? for some reason i feel like you might need 3 people

[alpine whale]

unless you found the roses in the practice range in another map our chances are slim

[shrewd fog]

no in practice range

[pure loom]

another capture of the Seoul reflection on Las Vegas

[alpine whale]

you cant queue up as a team in the practice range?

[iron wedge]

usually reflections uses a skybox of sorts, probably they didnt have time to make a especial one for las vegas so they used that one

[pure loom]

Yeah, I've tried multiple arrangements like that

[alpine whale]

im convinced that this point that the roses are in another map and the easter egg is there

[pure loom]

I've wondered if there is a 6th rose to find somewhere

seeing as 6 is a normal kinda bouquet

[alpine whale]

interesting

[shrewd fog]

oh you can only solo in practice?

[pure loom]

Although Rob did say we can pick them up for a reason

[shrewd fog]

roses in other maps, hmmm

[pure loom]

Monaco's park areas would be high on the list

[silent plover]

the other half of the roses EE will probably be in the Rome 269CE map

[shrewd fog]

going to try to bring the roses to the bride lady in the window

[alpine whale]

agreed, maybe itll lead us to something better clue towards the puzzle

theres nothing on the bench right? like a pattern or any symbols

[pure loom]

nothing

[bronze wolf]

I'm new here and been lurking and catching up, but since y'all talking about the roses in other maps - conspiracy time (and what I'm wasting my time doing)

[alpine whale]

the only other thing i can think of rn is the rose like pattern on the bins on the main building

[bronze wolf]

my buddy who knows nothing about the EEs swears someone presented him a single flower on monaco one time - mentioned after i showed him the rose in the range

[iron wedge]

Just noticed the moon charm is animated

[shrewd fog]

picking up the roses, it glitches through the ground, really annoying

[bronze wolf]

so i go flower hunting in monaco everytime

[iron wedge]

that is interesting

[pure loom]

There's not many odd things in the Practice Range - on the floor next to the mannequins that are shooting each other are these odd curved objects - each mannequin has one next to it

[bronze wolf]

usually i would discount it as him being baked and misremembering shit, but he really swears and he said it absolutely unpromted

[pure loom]

there'll usually black, but I'd shot that top one

[shrewd fog]

try recon or thermal vision in those spots @pure loom !

[alpine whale]

ima hop back in and investigate more

[pure loom]

also, at the end of the hall with mannequins in it, the yellow borders on the floor have these diagonal lines - it is the only place they are seen

[dry ginkgo]

did someone inspect if the audio of the "steal the spotlight" at the end is the same every time? I mean the caster says "the spotlight has been stolen" - is it happening every game?

[alpine whale]

the only thing i havent tried yet is with these bins, mainly cause of the patterns

in regards to the roses

[ionic orbit]

Has anyone checked the tops of trees in the practice range. In BF4 you had to go to the end of the palm tree on Paracel storm so it cant be out of the question

and they have full collison on all the branches

[pure loom]

it's really tricky to climb the trees more than the first segment

[iron wedge]

hook

or goo gun

[restive compass]

#easter-eggs message anyone have og jpeg for this?

[iron wedge]

we also know 1 tree is indestructible

[pure loom]

I tried de-fibbing the roses - apparently you can't heal a broken heart

[shrewd fog]

ok it very obvioulsy has to do with eyes or seeing

[fossil valley]

done deal nothing

[left trench]

which tree is indestructible

[alpine whale]

i have a suspision that interacting with the roses with gadgets wont do much, since theyre as fragile as paper

unless there a location where it must be done

[ionic orbit]

just tried that aswell

[ionic orbit]

is it the one in the back at a 45 degree(ish) angle?

it was not

[fossil valley]

Roses : I've tried to put them on the generator and zap them. Burn them, brought them to Bride, to Finals Logo at the back of all of fame. Brought them inside the house where the lights go out when you disable generator. Picked one up and ran around the PR. I eventually got shot by a sniper and saw 2 white squares through the foliage.

[pure loom]

one of this group right?

[left trench]

also do we have any idea what the numbers on the trees are yet?

[dry ginkgo]

they don't the ending changes to a "performance worthy steal the spotlight" or something along the lines

oops why am I orange..

[fossil valley]

Also thought about using the vanishing bomb to "reveal" hidden clues inside the house (since it's purple colored like a UV lamp) to no avail.

[ionic orbit]

my guess is they photoscanned tree bark and may have had some kind of forest service tag but it very well could be something

[left trench]

ahh

anything significant about the address of the house>

[quaint stream]

Edit this to say Ospuze please, so it shows up in the search

[silk bolt]

destroyed the whole forest because we can't do anything with roses

[shrewd fog]

hmm it has to be something with the lights, these devs love their lights / morse code

[left trench]

destroying all the lamps was my first instinct

[shrewd fog]

"open your eyes" maybe open the letter i ? 😂

[pure loom]

I was mistaken about the trees - all gone by shooting with the pistol

[shrewd fog]

so the basic things we know is you can pick up the roses, and that electrical box near them can explode, anything else?

[silk bolt]

have anyone searched this?

[shrewd fog]

https://routes.fandom.com/wiki/Rue_Colonel_Bellando_de_Castro_(MC)

[random bramble]

That's the location for the monaco map...

[ionic orbit]

just checked myself, no invincible trees

[left trench]

maybe something with thermal vision

the icon is an eye

[silk bolt]

i mean the person

maybe something with him and the roses?

[random bramble]

Oh lol mb

[shrewd fog]

im learning about the klee guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Klee something with color theory 🤔

[random bramble]

Perhaps the address of the house in the practice range hints at a location in Monaco

[silk bolt]

where is that location

[random bramble]

Google gave me two Bellando De Castros, Lucien is the Colonel the Road is named after
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Théophile_Bellando_de_Castro
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucien_Éloi_Bellando_de_Castro

[pallid sorrel]

he also used musical notes in paintings and hieroglyphs

[mystic storm]

Has anyone picked up the construction light in practice and messed with it?

[random bramble]

I can't remember the number for the building in the PR and can't jump in game to grab it atm 😦

[shrewd fog]

oh wait, but it says cubism, and Rob said it was right in front of us the whole time, I'm thinking it has something to dowith the cash box in the practice arena

[mystic storm]

32

[shrewd fog]

try putting the cash box near stuff!

oh it might be one of those angle things, gotta look at the area from a certain angle to see somehting lined up

[umbral shell]

I’ve done the cash box game with each build and nothing

[random bramble]

32 Rue Colonel Bellando De Castro is very literally the IRL location of the church in Monaco ffrom the map

[mystic storm]

In practice room it's 32 BIS

[shrewd fog]

not the game, we need to put it somewhere else, or break into it 🤔

if there's a cash box, there should be a cash out somewhere no...?

[left trench]

There's just those holes in the wall

[alpine whale]

tried looking for a rose on skyward stadium, no luck

[crisp glen]

There one in the tutorial

[solar sparrow]

this is so friggin interesting

[pallid sorrel]

can we solve it till season 2?

[crisp glen]

How funny would it be to get like 6 cash boxes into the tutorial cash out

[left trench]

but it doesnt open the door until you cash out

[crisp glen]

Yeah it's impossible without clipping out of the walls

[shrewd fog]

look at this! you can spawn 4 cash boxes total!!

[silk bolt]

is there any known way to clip throug walls?

[shrewd fog]

i cant post pictures but you can spawn 4 total cash boxes!! that's interesting!

[crisp glen]

Yeah a few, but Its not going to do anything for the ee

Would just be a funny thing to do

[silk bolt]

dm the clip method pls

[shrewd fog]

ohh!!! and there's 4 dials and 4 squares on the electrical box, so these 4 cash boxes and the electrical box must be related!!

[left trench]

ooo

[shrewd fog]

im so onto something here, im cooking

wait yyou can open a door in the practice range?

[steep belfry]

egg

[crisp glen]

I only know the one where you use the holes in the wall, but I've seen someone get out using a zipline but I'm not sure how

Who knows if you could even get the cash boxes through the wall

[mystic storm]

The don't dissappear if you walk them through

[shrewd fog]

im thinking these 4 cash boxes need to go to certain spots in the practice range 🤔

[umbral shell]

That could be a good idea

[violet dirge]

completely unrelated, when you load into the range the dummies are colored yellow?

[rough apex]

🤔

[left trench]

looking for fours in the pr

[umbral shell]

I’ll try as well

[violet dirge]

in the loading screen

[queen hornet]

there are four terminals to swap loadouts in believe

[umbral shell]

Okay so maybe one at each terminal?

[queen hornet]

worth trying but seems so random

[unkempt dune]

you know, there's only one heavy-looking dummy in the practice range, and it's the one in the yellow container

[left trench]

theres 2

one in the shooting range

[mystic storm]

When you load the pr what is standing by the terminal on the top right?

[unkempt dune]

oh yeah, totally forgot about those dummies

[robust otter]

They always sign the emails from Embark "With Love." There are the four dummies that shoot each other by the barrels, with the walls you can put up. Love and war? Get them to stop shooting each other and give them roses?

[left trench]

i tried giving the shooting ones roses and nothing happened

[mystic storm]

Why are there 5 roses in the beginning and one will dissappear if you don't pick them up in certain order

If you place them down next to each other they try to line up

[solar sparrow]

what if you get the dummies to shoot the roses out of your hands?

[solar sparrow]

there's also the with love emote

[crisp glen]

tried that

[violet dirge]

the dummies do stop shooting and look at you no?

[crisp glen]

they shoot at you

[violet dirge]

nvm

[umbral shell]

Yea just died lol

[ionic orbit]

tried it and one falls through the map, doesnt dissapear. as for the lining up its because its collider is hitting the floor try it anywhere else while looking down and it does the same thing

[left trench]

i think this is just becaus of collisions with the floor when you drop things, but that one rose idk

[alpine whale]

@pure loom searched through monaco and skyward stadium thus far, no roses found

[robust otter]

Are the two "light" dummies on the known distance range atop the crate the only "light" dummies on the PR? The pair of them could be significant?

[alpine whale]

theres another light dummy on the roof of the building

[shrewd fog]

4 cash boxes, 4 squares on the electrical box, 4 dials two turned left two facing up, and 5 roses. that's all i got figured out

[robust otter]

I thought so, but the last time I loaded it up it wasn't there. Odd.

Oh, it scoots around, might have just missed it

[left trench]

what if we just need to wait for valentines day

[shrewd fog]

lol doubtful bro

[left trench]

would make sense with the roses

[shrewd fog]

no lol

[umbral shell]

That’s true

[violet dirge]

has anything been found out about the info on the trowables spawners

[alpine whale]

the roses were there during open beta, back in november/october, so i doubt it

[shrewd fog]

i give up

[umbral shell]

Damn heard that

[rotund roost]

Did you find any easter eggs

[left trench]

im looking back at some stuff and it seems the roses are definitely valentines day related

[silent plover]

rob said the roses one will be more obvious after valentines day, but that he expected us to get the password (which is unrelated to the roses EE) before summer 2023

[shrewd fog]

heres what i found, 4 cash boxes, 5 roses, 4 squares on the electrical box, 4 dials on the electrical box

[quaint stream]

Yeah I really can't tell if Rob thinks we're closer or farther recently

[silk bolt]

we have everything but we can't do anything with it

[shrewd fog]

i love when rob posts ❤️

[hard current]

not true.. if I’m being brutally honest, many of you are currently chasing your tails.. or chasing ee’s that are unrelated to the tier

[left trench]

wild golden goose chase

[hard current]

if you read on robs recent messages, the recent eyed messages, and follow along with:

gold/egg/space/latin/pulsars/binary stars/nobel prize/neutron collision/supernovae/other related stuff you may discover something connected, and share it here, and in turn, potentially move the hunt forward with either an eye from rob or someone else discovers something relevant

we all have an opportunity to move forward, imo, the roses, and other stuff like that aren’t going to help us with this tier:)

they’re certainly fun and will be a cool thing to figure out down the line tho

[shrewd fog]

parallel universe? quantum physics? cubism?

[hard current]

investigate

see if you can find anything in your research that connects back to anything in our past passwords

[dry ginkgo]

I've posted about the fox - still think its something to think about more. was not able to find mentions on the server via search

#easter-eggs message

[hard current]

the fox/goose/vulpecula/anser has been talked about a bunch, but no acknowledgement or eyes from rob unfortunately

I haven’t seen what you’re talking about… who knows, look for relevant info, dates, times, important science, latin, historical figures, share them here, we never know where the next eye from rob might be going

[violet dirge]

is there a place to see all 'eyed' messages?

[hard current]

I think in pinned there’s a google sheet that has them, tho most recent eyed messages are likely in the padlet in #egg-hunt-onboarding

[violet dirge]

thanks

[dry ginkgo]

well, then another thing that caught my eye is the "robs" diner out of the LW map, that i'd like to view via termal vision. hurts that you cant run certain map for investigation :C

[hard current]

yeah robs mentioned before some cryptic stuff hinting we may get private matches eventually hehe… but like I said, the only thing we really know that’s in the maps that can help with this tier is a constellation in vegas, everything else is likely minor/lore related

I could be wrong but to my understanding (and based off what robs said many times) is we have everything we need to solve this

[dry ginkgo]

mirror related 😉

the reflections thingy is also quite interesting, but I did not find a single mirror on LW

[lofty temple]

Rob's most recent interaction was the comment on the YT video about Xenon and Xylophone on April 4th?

[hard current]

that lead to a roman numeral, 622 iirc?

[left trench]

622 was also what all the numbers on the roulette skin for the lewis gun added up to

i believe

[hard current]

yes, and for all we know it could be part of this tier, it could be part of the next level

but I’m not including it in my own research purely because rob said we have everything we need long before that message

we have to pick and parse what is and what isnt part of this tier, and we can confidently say that the roses/valentines are not part of it as rob said so himself

[left trench]

fair enough

[hard current]

I’d also wager the lore stuff with holtow is not part of this tier, though there was one thing hidden in it that did help us, as rob said he expected us to finish this tier a very long time ago, well before the games release

[left trench]

how will we know when we have a password? trying everything we find?

[hard current]

yes

[dry ginkgo]

he also said that the password it hard to input and he rechecked, afaik

[hard current]

keep trying new things, keep spawning new ideas that are related to what we already know 😉

[hard current]

that may have been him teasing us… there was one time a while ago he panicked thinking he spelled the password wrong because apparently someone was “close”

[dry ginkgo]

ah, so that could be other tier related.. I don't remember.

[hard current]

#easter-eggs message

no it’s def for this tier hehe

[random bramble]

Someone was close for this current tier?

[dry ginkgo]

some messages above the linked - gold + egg + latin so he rechecked, I guess

[random bramble]

ahh I see

[dry ginkgo]

#easter-eggs message got a + but not eyed

[hard current]

Hold up

#easter-eggs message

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draco_(constellation)

there are a ton of binary stars in draco

[mystic storm]

Anything from the credits video? "Knock the floor out from under you"?

[hard current]

guys I’d wager that draco may be the hidden constellation in vegas

[random bramble]

I'd back that

Currently trying to lobby shop for Monaco to find that dang monkey as I had a brainwave about it, but I'll swap to STS and look around vegas

[hard current]

it’s also a northern constellation that does not ever set and rob has hinted at north before

[dry ginkgo]

the Draco constellation is associated with the golden gardens of the Hesperides and one of Hercules' tasks

[left trench]

so theres another thing to add

[dry ginkgo]

Draco was the dragon that guarded the golden apples at the garden Hesperides, which Hercules was charged to retrieve as part of his 12 labors.

[left trench]

also the golden dragon set ties into that

[violet dirge]

but does egg tie into Draco somehow or is egg not a relevent piece

[dry ginkgo]

well dragons do lay eggs

[violet dirge]

true

but that feels like a hollow connection

[dry ginkgo]

Beta Draconis, the third brightest star in the constellation, has a visual magnitude of 2.79 and is about 380 light years distant. It has 40 times the radius of the Sun and about six solar masses. It is 950 times more luminous than the Sun.

It is a yellow star of the spectral type G2, halfway between the bright giant and supergiant evolutionary stages (G2 Ib-IIa). The estimated age of Beta Draconis is 67 million years. The bright giant has a dwarf star for a companion, which makes Beta Draconis a binary system.

[left trench]

ooo

[dry ginkgo]

#easter-eggs message also already discussed it seems

[random bramble]

I got that glitch where the finals logo is scuffed and I'm on Ultra everything

Odds on it being intentional

[opaque thistle]

Feels like 100% to me its consistent if you get the right map and varient/time

[random bramble]

None of the stars in Vegas's skybox really stand out enough for me to begin picking out constellations

[random bramble]

This was on Steal the Spotlight, does that always happen at 1am on vegas?

Anyone got a link to that Map sticker thread? I can't find it

[opaque thistle]

Prettyy sure ive ran into it on sandstorm and sts atleast

[hard current]

#1202362203920150610

[quaint stream]

I think the issue is we're probably involving way more clues than we should for the password maybe

[opaque thistle]

Probably

Oh also I noticed some of those weird light refractions around Seoul's breakable hospital bridge

[ionic orbit]

potentially it could be on one of the hotel room paintings

[dry ginkgo]

#easter-eggs message

[pallid sorrel]

the problem is we have to find the precise 5 truths and combine it for password

[ionic orbit]

just a theory at the moment though as they all seem to be western themed

[random bramble]

Thought the map's route looked similar to Draco but alas not

[left trench]

what were the past passwords/where can i find them?

[hard current]

#egg-hunt-onboarding password page is first link

[random bramble]

Having a look now, so far have found this painting:

[urban wedge]

Olin J Eggen has a book called Three-colour photometry of 4000 northern stars (1968)

[ionic orbit]

interesting, didnt see that one on my run.

[random bramble]

top floor in a couple of the rooms

[hard current]

I’m wondering hmm… there’s a book called dragons egg based off of a neutron star in draco…

[random bramble]

found these, also on top floor

[violet dirge]

the finals logo being puffy is definitely intentional

[dry ginkgo]

so, the korean under the dragon constellation gets translated to latin automatically? https://kappa.lol/i003_ is that correct?

[random bramble]

Some of the rooms have that Black and White picture in them, some don't, some have a TV, some have a TV and the painting

[ionic orbit]

okay they definitely have different paintings per each casino, that 21 is oddly pronounced. probably nothing and likely too obvious but i know many vegas casinos generally dont have a certain floor as they skip it since its "bad luck"

maybe 21 but i thought it was 13 or something

[random bramble]

Game ended before I could figure out which casino I was in 2 secs

I think it was the one the map leads to

[queen hornet]

eastwood?

[ionic orbit]

"Due to long-held superstitions and traditions around the number 13, most hotels in Las Vegas skip labeling a 13th floor to avoid scaring off superstitious guests" -random article. disregard the number 21, gonna keep looking for a painting with stars though

[opaque thistle]

Speaking of the hotel rooms have we looked into the color pallet changes from normal las vegas to STS

[violet dirge]

Also what the hell is up with reflections off buildings showing what apperes to be the sun at night?

[dry ginkgo]

eastwood has other room backgrounds afaik

[random bramble]

Just got in another game, gonna double check

[queen hornet]

any paul klee paintings in game, while we’re on the topic?

[dry ginkgo]

eastwood rooms have single paintings on the wall, sometimes 2 tvs. nothing behind them

[worn flame]

Where are we currently at? What are we trying to currently figure out?

[random bramble]

It was the other tall one

[dusky quail]

Hi y’all

[random bramble]

Eastwood has this painting in the rooms:

[random bramble]

I'm looking at paintings in Vegas but that's it

and these ones a floor down:

[opaque thistle]

Mmm all the rooms are blue instead of yellow and the grey boxes at the roofs are blue too.

[queen hornet]

which building?

[ionic orbit]

these are the western themed ones i was talking about but i dont have image perms to share em

[dry ginkgo]

upload them and giva a link maybe..

[opaque thistle]

Gotta double check but i think just the hotel rooms around eastwood

[random bramble]

yeah they're in Eastwood

the Glamora only has the black and white ones and the ones in the lobby

[urban wedge]

What does Paul Klee have to do with the anything, e.g. blue gif, color theory, cubism

[ionic orbit]

Eastwood - Western themed pictures

[worn flame]

Not sure. But we also have all the info we need to solve it, right? Does Robs statement from before still apply?

[ionic orbit]

Glamora - Art deco themed pictures

[slow parrot]

can someone catch me on ee? im new to this and im not really sure what to look for

[queen hornet]

the current best connection we have with klee is the ab ovo painting, which got eyed

[dusky quail]

Bro what is that

[worn flame]

Feel free to check the Egg-hunt-info-rules channel. It will have a ton of info

[left trench]

egg painting

[queen hornet]

read #egg-hunt-onboarding

[slow parrot]

ok

[opaque thistle]

Brother its been 3 years you gotta look at the padlets/wiki and try to keep up with what we're talking about till stuff clicks on place on god

[dusky quail]

Nah man I’m don’t

[queen hornet]

#easter-eggs message

[ionic orbit]

Dont think there's anything to do with photos atleast not on vegas, none of them except one even look anything like paul klees. might have to check other maps.

[silk bolt]

3 years since the ee started? woah

[random bramble]

Yeah it was something to do while trying to get the final STS cosmetic

[queen hornet]

it wouldn’t really make sense for vegas to be connected to anything like vvv to be honest

[worn flame]

What could the 5th truth be?

[opaque thistle]

Prolly dam close looks like it w/all the alphas/betas and everything and in the art posts cataloging it all and how far back there's secrets in that stuff like it looks like 2 or 3 atleast

[pallid sorrel]

umm who's signature is on the baseball charm?

[queen hornet]

our lord and savior saint rob’s

[opaque thistle]

Id actually been working that yeah I forgot whose sig is that lol

[random bramble]

Something on Vegas apparently linked to the VVV image unless I'm mistaken

[pallid sorrel]

the discription says ROB your opponents of victory.!

[random bramble]

I think Rob ended up giving us the QR code in the last official Art that lead to the page VVV was on

[queen hornet]

ahh ok

[crystal salmon]

same painting can be found in Seoul hospital, along with more similar ones

[queen hornet]

anything klee-ish?

[random bramble]

Yo there's a cosmetic bundle called Draco Star as well

and the pants are called stage diver, I have a dumb idea about heavy charging off the stage in LV

[ionic orbit]

Not dumb, your cooking

[random bramble]

As long as I don't need to be wearing the pants because I'm too broke for the bundle xD

[ionic orbit]

I imagine they wouldn’t make us have to buy anything cosmetics just to do the EE so you should be fine. But if there’s a bundle called Draco Star we are 1000% onto something.

[crystal salmon]

Not that I've come across, no

[ionic orbit]

Not to mention the current event gives you the charge and slam. Seems a little perfect doesn’t it?

[random bramble]

But how does Draco relate to the facts we have at hand I guess

[queen hornet]

lots of constellation and space related stuff on the padlet

[left trench]

the constellation and the binary pulsars

[crystal salmon]

Yeah I was just about to mention that cosmetic bundle with the golden dragon on it...

[ionic orbit]

There’s 2 different directions right now focusing on the “binary” star system to give us some kinda binary code or your idea

[random bramble]

Stage dive with the slam does nothing

[left trench]

you tried in steal the spotlight?

[random bramble]

Yep

[left trench]

shame

[ionic orbit]

I had kinda figured. Maybe still something to do with the stage itself such as the area underneath but I bet it’s more on the side of the “binary stars”

[random bramble]

Tried slamming the cone thing in the middle too, the stars thing is a more likely avenue imo

[lapis sparrow]

updates?

[ionic orbit]

Potential for binary code on the Draco star bundle items if we preview them maybe?

Just spitballing at this point. Crossing things off the list to narrow the search I suppose

[queen hornet]

anyone know why the body paint in draco star is called ‘long story’?

[ionic orbit]

Long snake in the constellation 🤷🏼‍♂️
