Yeah some new poem/riddle or smth loll

[opaque thistle]

The two moons of Mars are Phobos and Deimos. They are irregular in shape. Both were discovered by American astronomer Asaph Hall in August 1877 and are named after the Greek mythological twin characters Phobos (fear and panic) and Deimos (terror and dread) who accompanied their father Ares into battle. Maybe the connections between Aphrodite and adonis/Persephone and Hades are to lead us to Phobos and Deimos through ares to get to Asaph Hall?

ANDDD DRUM ROLL PLEAASEEEE Asaph hall's wiki SAYSSS

Children: 4, including Asaph Hall, Jr. and Percival Hall

PERCIVAL BITCH

OH IM FUCKIN COOKIN TODAY BOYS

[odd crater]

WTF bro i left the chat 10 min ago and i come back and see this O.o

[opaque thistle]

On June 5, 1872 Hall published an article entitled "On an experimental determination of
in the journal Messenger of Mathematics.[4] In this article, Hall reported the results of an experiment in random sampling that Hall had persuaded his friend, Captain O.C. Fox, to perform when Fox was recuperating from a wound received at the Second Battle of Bull Run. The experiment involved repetitively throwing at random a fine steel wire onto a plane wooden surface ruled with equidistant parallel lines... This paper, an experiment on Buffon's needle problem, is a very early documented use of random sampling (which Nicholas Metropolis would name the Monte Carlo method during the Manhattan Project of World War II) in scientific inquiry.

In 1875 Hall was given responsibility for the USNO 26-inch (66-cm) telescope, the largest refracting telescope in the world at the time. It was with this telescope that he discovered Phobos and Deimos in August 1877. Hall also noticed a white spot on Saturn which he used as a marker to ascertain the planet's rotational period. In 1884, Hall showed that the position of the elliptical orbit of Saturn's moon, Hyperion, was retrograding by about 20° per year. Hall also investigated stellar parallaxes and the positions of the stars in the Pleiades star cluster.

[hard current]

where did you get that? we’ve seen multico before but afaik it wasn’t confirmed that multico is the in game company that owns it? correct me if I’m wrong 🙂

[opaque thistle]

Monte carlo method would refer to monaco linin up right w/percival 😈

[dull marsh]

HALL-EFFECT THRUSTERS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall-effect_thruster

Hall thrusters operate on a variety of propellants, the most common being xenon and krypton. Other propellants of interest include argon, bismuth, iodine, magnesium, zinc and adamantane.

Very commonly used on satellites

[mystic storm]

Could it be a 2 way mirror?

[opaque thistle]

ooooh

One of the first lines on the Monte carlo method wiki

The name comes from the Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco, where the primary developer of the method, physicist Stanislaw Ulam, was inspired by his uncle's gambling habits.

[dull marsh]

Hall thrusters will mostly use Noble gases, so you might be onto something for real

[next veldt]

they own the games

and in one of the trailers the startup screen has their operatin system

[opaque thistle]

looked into Stanislaw Ulam

In October 1943, he received an invitation from Hans Bethe to join the Manhattan Project at the secret Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico. There, he worked on the hydrodynamic calculations to predict the behavior of the explosive lenses that were needed by an implosion-type weapon. He was assigned to Edward Teller's group, where he worked on Teller's "Super" bomb for Teller and Enrico Fermi. After the war he left to become an associate professor at the University of Southern California, but returned to Los Alamos in 1946 to work on thermonuclear weapons. With the aid of a cadre of female "computers" he found that Teller's "Super" design was unworkable. In January 1951, Ulam and Teller came up with the Teller–Ulam design, which became the basis for all thermonuclear weapons.

Ulam considered the problem of nuclear propulsion of rockets, which was pursued by Project Rover, and proposed, as an alternative to Rover's nuclear thermal rocket, to harness small nuclear explosions for propulsion, which became Project Orion. With Fermi, John Pasta, and Mary Tsingou, Ulam studied the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou problem, which became the inspiration for the field of nonlinear science. He is probably best known for realising that electronic computers made it practical to apply statistical methods to functions without known solutions, and as computers have developed, the Monte Carlo method has become a common and standard approach to many problems.

[hard current]

yes but I’m asking where that’s been confirmed

[next veldt]

yes it has

[solid jay]

where though?

[next veldt]

for the starter screen of the trailer contestants boot into the game and before they do that its confirmed that multico owns it since its their operating system. Plus if they were a sponsor they wouldnt have their own OS

[bronze wolf]

this Hall Effect thread is quite interesting, and I remember Rob's comment about Andre being proud. Considering this is all dependent on electromagnetism, that's a nice link to André-Marie Ampère

[hard current]

… it’s a theory then, we can’t present it as fact unless we know for certain, especially for new EE hunters, to be clear: based off what you said it would make sense, but we can’t confirm that right now

[solid jay]

Seems a bit off base for what we are trying to accomplish here as well. At least for now.

[solar glade]

yes. MultiCo running the game show is just a theory

[solid jay]

Yeah this is an interesting link

[warm coral]

👀

[bronze wolf]

even more fun link, cause anytime Muse comes up, I chuckle a bit (cues up Neutron Star Collision)

The Hall Effect (band) - Colombian alt rock band who opened for Muse in 2008 during their Black Holes and Revelations Tour

[opaque thistle]

The same source tells two stories of the death of Orion. The first says that because of his "living joined in too great a friendship" with Oenopion, he boasted to Artemis and Leto that he could kill anything which came from Earth. Gaia (the personification of Earth in Greek mythology) objected and created the Scorpion.[19] In the second story, Apollo, being jealous of Orion's love for Artemis, arranged for Artemis to kill him. Seeing Orion swimming in the ocean, a long way off, he remarked that Artemis could not possibly hit that black thing in the water. Feeling challenged, she sent an arrow right through it and killed Orion; when his body washed up on shore, she wept copiously, and decided to place Orion among the stars.[
Art3mis of course also being the character along side Percival and RPO and already connects through Apollo..

In the Epic tradition, Artemis halted the winds blowing the Greek ships during the Trojan War, stranding the Greek fleet in Aulis, after King Agamemnon, the leader of the expedition, shot and killed her sacred deer

In Greek mythology, Agamemnon (/æɡəˈmɛmnɒn/; Greek: Ἀγαμέμνων Agamémnōn) was a king of Mycenae who commanded the Acheans during the Trojan War. He was the son (or grandson) of King Atreus and Queen Aerope

Loops right back into where I connected percival to mythology in the first place through Atreus, fucking perfect. My god it's gorgeous

get RHB out here he's gonna cream seeing this

[dull marsh]

The Hall effect is the production of a potential difference (the Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor that is transverse to an electric current in the conductor and to an applied magnetic field perpendicular to the current. It was discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879.
1879 again, same year as birth of Einstein

[hard forge]

?

[quaint stratus]

Has anyone ever grabbed the broken screen effect from.the holtow website and put it into like ae and looked at it frame by frame?

[bronze wolf]

Hall used gold leaf during his experiments leading to this discovery, another lil tick for this thread

[solid jay]

Pretty sure they have, check in this thread https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1185727960980922488

[quaint stratus]

Oh they did

[dull marsh]

The Hall effect was discovered by Hall in 1879, while working on his doctoral thesis in Physics under the supervision of Henry Augustus Rowland. Hall's experiments consisted of exposing thin gold leaf (and, later, using various other materials) on a glass plate and tapping off the gold leaf at points down its length.

Hall, 1879, gold and electromagnetism 🤔

[limpid crypt]

Have all previous findings been summarized somewhere, with sources etc.? That you can get an overview of everything.

bit of an abstract thought from seeing all these different math formulas being thrown around (Imma just call it an intrusive thought actually)

Do we need to find and use the correct formula to help us solve for a letter that gets applied into the password? No shot Rob expects us goobers to do math at this level right????

kinda off topic but notice how the roof has tiles like a dome. Why would a vr simulation need a false sky made out of led tiles?

that's JUST skyway, its a conglomeration of all the other maps a sim of a sim kinda

[gloomy anvil]

This has been on skyway for a while, here's an old screenshot of mine

[opaque thistle]

btw for anyone who wants to know how percival connects to pelops/atreus

Dances of maidens representing tree nymphs (dryads) were especially common in Artemis’s worship as goddess of the tree cult, a role especially popular in the Peloponnese. Throughout the Peloponnese, bearing such epithets as Limnaea and Limnatis (Lady of the Lake), Artemis supervised waters and lush wild growth, attended by nymphs of wells and springs (naiads). In parts of the peninsula her dances were wild and lascivious.
This was a quote I had found earlier that tied a lot of this together already, so it mentions Artemis, The lady of the Lake (which I can only imagine is the connection for percival/arthur), and Peloponnese which is the place which pelop's reined over who is both the father of Atreus (who is the father of Agamemnon) and Son of Tantalus who we'd been guided to before by robs comments on Bear fruits leading to Tantalus due to his punishment for attempting to make a god eat their child where he's forced to be tantalized by fruit growing above him and the connections with ursa minor/major.

[long plaza]

ah gotcha I was about to put on my tinfoil hat and start thinking the VR thing is a lie 😂

[solid jay]

Oh believe me I think it's a lie. My head-canon goes BRRR.

[bronze wolf]

if you look on the yellow walls in certain spots (bit easier with high rise), it'll show a coded list of the assets in that map section and what map it comes from akin to how game engines track assets

[alpine junco]

bro what

[opaque thistle]

the schizo is cooking just watch it unfold

[dull marsh]

@opaque thistle Make a thread and condensate all of that with the different steps of your reasoning, right here we can't understand much honestly

[solid jay]

agreed

[opaque thistle]

on god it is so much to cover I've been working out this logic since back to when we found the voice line mentioning king midas 😩

[alpine junco]

yeah and nothing after that was related

[dull marsh]

That's an even bigger reason, make it clear a digestible, even if it's long it might be a good lead

[opaque thistle]

? ? ? wot

[solid jay]

And if what you have is accurate it deserves a thread. You have to make the content digestible, not walls of text. Concise and direct links, or it will be impossible to discern what the point you are trying to make is.

wait, can we overlay 2 videos?

[rich leaf]

There aren't any more hided messages on the glitched frames, just the same than the other scene

[dull marsh]

They're just images

that would be a lot of work.

also 2 videos use similar backgrounds, don't think it will worth

but we can use putting pieces together anything potential

[dusky elk]

new map maybe?

[white pawn]

The right side a reminds me a bit about Seoul and the building with bridges inside.
Bur i would guess this is new map.

[hard current]

the bridge behind it reminds me of the bridge on seoul

[unborn pilot]

[bronze wolf]

ok makes sense, gold and chalk won't do much together

it's when I start diving down the rabbit hole of how to make it react that it gets kinda funny

[lone wave]

Looks like a university or something! With some trees between the 2 buildings and stairs on the outside

[bronze wolf]

ie I just found out you can make explosives with gold called fulminating gold and I thought of Nobel inventing dynamite as a nice link

[sharp flame]

looks like the structure in the foreground

[solid jay]

or a motherboard?

[hazy prairie]

it doesnt look exactly like any of the maps we have right now, i feel like its more than likely a new map? if its based on a real location like the other maps we might be able to look for key features and cross reference to real places, maybe relating to the clues we already have, dunno

[solid jay]

looks like an elevator shaft

[unborn pilot]

some sort of hallway?

[dawn coral]

i see like, one of the cashiers desks on the left, like in the casinos on vegas

[cursive star]

I tried.. An example of a mineral associating calcium carbonate and gold is "calaverite." Calaverite is a mineral composed of gold and silver telluride, which may contain calcium carbonate as inclusions or associations in certain occurrences. However, the chemical formula of calaverite does not explicitly include calcium carbonate. The chemical formula of calaverite is AuTe2.

[solar glade]

ye we talked a bit earlier about it in the #📕┇lore channel just in case

[leaden owl]

Anyone know if this is worth pursuing? One person mentioned the battle pass wings. I tried putting the whole costume on and playing a few games but didn't replicate it.

[unborn pilot]

frame 1106 briefly seems to show an image

[lone wave]

@solar glade identified it as a library. You can see a big table and chairs

[unborn pilot]

and for just one frame, you can see the Holtow orange logo. The outside of it is normal, but inside seems weird. It doesn't appear to be the same as the warped Volpe logo

[solar glade]

i've seen others refer to it as an atrium, which also makes sense - it's a top view

[unborn pilot]

oh nice @solar glade i must have missed that lore channel existed. Discord had it hidden completely.

[lone wave]

Oh yeah that works too and that goes well with the frame where we can see a tree in the middle

[snow walrus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usSxTdN8IM0

[sharp flame]

there are tables and chairs in there

[solar glade]

if you rotate it 90 degrees you might see clearer that it's a top view

[unborn pilot]

looks like something appears then disappears inside the P in an unusual way. it's not flying across or part of the room or something. nothing else glitches

[magic talon]

Looks like there's a building at the left

[plucky kettle]

thats the seoul cafeteria no?

[dawn coral]

roulette table?

[silver rock]

I'm looking at this video and it makes me think that what we're seeing is what's "beyond the walls"

[dawn coral]

i see like, a cashiers desk from a casino.

[magic talon]

Maybe it's a shop or cafe?

[dawn coral]

similar to the window'd desk by the vault in Eastwood, the X on the map.

[shrewd fog]

casino makes sense since it shows the volpe logo right after that, and volpe sponsors las vegas map

[umbral shell]

Maybe bank?

[shrewd fog]

i dont think it means to get out of bounds, but that there's more to this just being a game show, the dialogue in the video brings up a lot of questions

"one night three dawns see the signs" is from CNS at the very end of the video

[coarse dagger]

Is your computer owned by Microsoft?

[hard forge]

I wish mine is.

[proper kindle]

More than likely there’s sumn hidden in the actual finals since it says it only happens in the big things

[long plaza]

one theory is ‘one night three dawns’ is talking about Vegas.

Maybe we should check neon signs since the neon bundle came out with this

[proper kindle]

And the announcers even state this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for it’s the big show which means you’d have to look around in tournaments?

[proper kindle]

This was the same from the first lore video and this one

[dull marsh]

Also we don't have much EE on Vegas for now, would make sense to have some lore in there

[proper kindle]

I also suggest ppl look at The EE we have found to see if things changed for instance Monaco construction S lies

[dull marsh]

And WHERE THE HECK are the 3 other monaco graffitis 🤬

[alpine junco]

similar thing in the O of holtow

[flint robin]

https://imgur.com/a/bVIk80q this is a screenshot from announcement trailer and i think it has some similarities with interior from second lore video. could it be a new map or it is alpha version of Seoul?

[fallen jasper]

Ok I will check

[fallen jasper]

Most likely that was just concept art for Seoul before they had it completely realized. It looks a lot like the Plaza

Well that is very helpful haha

What have you guys come up with from the latest lore video

Thanks, I've got there reading the Padlet and Wiki, but it's unclear to me where in the decoding process you all are.

[snow walrus]

We are currently in LOST process

[solid jay]

We are searching for the password to complete this tier. Going to be hard to really encapsulate where we are as there is really no straightforward process.

[void sonnet]

So you basically whittle it down to a few concepts and then try variations on them? I'm seeing the chains of thought from solved ones but not really the conclusions

[solid jay]

Yeah essentially once you level up in the server you'll be able to post in specific threads about various topics.

Just talk and share ideas. We have slow mode on to help keep posts focused and the channel "uncluttered" lol

[solid jay]

Our lord and saviour Saint Rob occasionally drops by with a new clue to steer us in the right direction he uses the 👀 reaction to indicate things so refrain from using it.

[opaque thistle]

OKAY so it's literally a giant map of all of the GRB's for starters... and there's references to, Hercules, The northern lights, and Theseus who was the one who slayed the minotaur who we have connections to through King minos of Crete, and they're who founded the cult of Aphrodite, Plus w/this theseus is a telescope made explicitely for investigating GRBs, and the name for the rocket lauching it is Vega, just like the brightest star of Lyra. And the HCB includes the constellations Hercules, Draco, and Lyra. As well as Corona Borealis

Corona Borealis is a small constellation in the Northern Celestial Hemisphere. It is one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. Its brightest stars form a semicircular arc. Its Latin name, inspired by its shape, means "northern crown". In classical mythology Corona Borealis generally represented the crown given by the god Dionysus to the Cretan princess Ariadne and set by her in the heavens

In Greek mythology, Ariadne (/ˌæriˈædni/; Greek: Ἀριάδνη; Latin: Ariadne) was a Cretan princess and the daughter of King Minos of Crete. There are different variations of Ariadne's myth, but she is known for helping Theseus escape the Minotaur and being abandoned by him on the island of Naxos. There, Dionysus saw Ariadne sleeping, fell in love with her, and later married her. Many versions of the myth recount Dionysus throwing Ariadne's jeweled crown into the sky to create a constellation, the Corona Borealis.[1][2]

Ariadne is associated with mazes and labyrinths because of her involvement in the myths of Theseus and the Minotaur.

Dionysus is also the one who initially curses Midas, but I'm unsure where it goes from there honestly

[maiden plume]

is the background of this on vegas?

also does anyone have a better quality video? what does this frame say?

brother there is so much to do with these goddamn stars and gods 😭 I have no clue

[hard forge]

what's GRB?

this was on the video you sent, I still can't read that but this frame stands out to me

the words in the center

[opaque thistle]

Gamma ray bursts, rob gave us confirmation on it being relevant when someone asked about Green radiant butterflys, look it up in the top right for more info ong

[cursive star]

Sorry Bro i don't think we have better res vid...

[maiden plume]

yeah figured but I mean those tiny words in the center seem suspicious to me, do you know if there's a way to make it out?

[cursive star]

You can ask here : https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1209839696729874472 🙂

[long plaza]

green red blue?

[solid jay]

but what was the context of his clue?

[opaque thistle]

And the Corona borealis seems to be both a reference to the northern lights, and is the connector for dionysus...

Also this line from it's wiki stuck out to me

R Coronae Borealis is a low-mass yellow supergiant star in the constellation of Corona Borealis. It is the prototype of the R Cor Bor class of variable stars, which fade by several magnitudes at irregular intervals. R Coronae Borealis itself normally shines at approximately magnitude 6, just about visible to the naked eye, but at intervals of several months to many years fades to as faint as 15th magnitude. Over successive months it then gradually returns to its normal brightness, giving it the nickname "reverse nova", after the more common type of star which rapidly increases in brightness before fading.

It has a yellow supergiant inside of it, and has the nickname of a reverse nova

[gloomy anvil]

I think that was Radiant Green Butterflies (RGB) not GRB #easter-eggs message

[opaque thistle]

ohhh shii u not lyin, but GRB's also have been seen as important previously and helped us w/some other things aswell iirc/RGB also could have been what brought us to looking at GRB's aswell

^

[hard forge]

ok...I have read it all.

WHAT I THINK: you are going in the opposite direction of clues. Maybe you might have reached a tertiary clue.

WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST:
You should stop looking in mythology unless Rob eyes something you found. There is also a possibility that your findings may be useful again in future.

[solid jay]

Bruv, I swear you got the whole pantheon of gods involved here.😂

[opaque thistle]

rob gave me a direct clue to look at tantalus ; - ; which is where literally all of this shit has been leading me for the most part

[hard forge]

could you link it?

[opaque thistle]

^

Bear fruits was found to refer to tantalus in the way that he was punished, forced to sit as fruits are made over his head while he has to starve constantly tantalized by the fruits

also lined up w/ursa minor and draco having an illustration as a pair in urania's mirror which had some very interesting supporting evidence

a lot of it also has immense amounts of links between different things that all the way to tying percival all the way back in towards tantalus through artemis and pelops

[hard forge]

I think this:#easter-eggs message is what he meant by "see below". (you got a eye there)

[snow walrus]

Same(?) frame in 01
#1202387725366603856 message

[maiden plume]

ah alr

[opaque thistle]

I mean yeahh, but how does the bear fruits thing align with anything w/rhodium and yttrium tho?

[void sonnet]

Did we follow up on this line in the tree? "Hamlet=ophelia=FIve Truths"
https://nt-itunesu.s3.amazonaws.com/document-2-five-truths.pdf

[solid jay]

You really went the wrong direction I think. Nothing about that says mythology to me. You read into the bear fruit part a bit too much.

[hard forge]

some number maybe...it could be anything

[solid jay]

you got eyes for elements

[opaque thistle]

ok?? but the saying is BARE fruits. He said BEAR fruits. And we got to the Tantalus connection through URSA MINOR the BEAR constellation, all while I was talking about constellations and their links to mythology it doesn't make any sense for it to not be related

[solid jay]

could just mean to look at the stars

[hard forge]

I thought the same

[opaque thistle]

plus there is ssoooooososooso much supporting evidence for it

once I got in towards percival I got backup for it like crazyyyy, plus it ties directly in with Art3mis and Percival from RPO which is where the new skins are all pointing us also

[hard forge]

but this guy #easter-eggs message didn't get any response or eyes

[solid jay]

really what i want to see is simple direct links to the following 5 things: Gold, Egg, Space, Mirror, Latin

[opaque thistle]

bro where do you think we got to mythology from

[hard forge]

Also, why do you think ursa minor had definitely a link to mythology instead of its stars?

[opaque thistle]

it wasn't major it was ursa minor, plus god knows if rob wanted to eye something like that or not he can just also ignore supporting correct clues if he feels like it

[hard current]

he would eye it if it’s
100% correct and in the right direction

[void sonnet]

Tantalum, Rhodium, Yttrium, Aurum

[void sonnet]

No it is not. It's fruit-bearing.

[opaque thistle]

shi u right as hell damn im too faded

but still mentioning bears as we're looking at contellations directly involving draco and ursa minor and the combination of them and the link of tantalum WHICH BTW IS CALLED THAT BECAUSE OF TANTALUS it just feels HELLA RIGHT

[opaque thistle]

It's both though, the constellations are laid there by gods in mythology to represent those who have passed on to be remembered eternally, they all reference eachother directly like a huge map mirroring space into latin

[hard forge]

I know what you mean. Believe me. (I brought up Thomas Norton)

[hard current]

question, where did tantalum come from? may have missed that

[opaque thistle]

Mhh theres also the fact that perseus literally has his own skins/abilities based on him in the game... and I mean for christs sake I got arthurian legend connected to tantalus and one of the only other bordering constellations to ursa minor aside from draco and cepheus which I already know are related is literally named "Camelopardalis" like off Camelot lmfao. These hints have literally been smacking me in the face non-stop the second I started looking at all this. There's these lines that I keep finding that all chain into one another almost perfectly all centered around something specific that all ended up tying into completely seperate unrelated things at the same exact point of tantalus from other lines from the unrelated things so like I'm 99.9999% this shit is at very least related

^

[opaque thistle]

this is where we got tantalum from btw

[solid jay]

context would tell me this is a clue about the elements

[void sonnet]

I see the explicit references to Gold, Nobelium, Caesium

We also have offhand mentions of Yttrium/Ytterbium, Rhodium and Tantalum

[solid jay]

Mythology might be a route to arrive at an answer but I don't really think the answer lies in mythology

[void sonnet]

Caesium was not named for Julius Caesar though, it apparently just means "blueish gray"

[hard forge]

I think the same.

[void sonnet]

Each element has a number but we're quickly exceeding a reasonable length for the password.

[hard forge]

T1C password was electronic configuration of Mendelevuim

[snow walrus]

Every tier has solid connections with elemental properties

[opaque thistle]

I mean for starters I think we should just take one big step back and look at the most simple thing. That absolutely should tell us mythology is a huge part of this. Aside from the fact that there's already a crazy amount that connects the constellations to the mythos. Ready player one's MC and main love interest are literally called Percival and Artemis. How on the nose does it need to be 💀

[open thunder]

I’m new to this whole Easter egg hunt and lore just wanted to say you guys are doing great

[opaque thistle]

Percival lines up perfectly with the arthurian legend stuff just being the one looking for the holy grail, and Artemis lines up perfectly with the tantalus stuff and is a huge part of the entire scene going on with the helen of troy which kickstarted most of the constellation business in the first place aside from maybe draco and polaris

[solid jay]

I really think you need to take a step back from the mythological perspective. You are getting too caught up on how all these legends link to one another. And of course they do, each culture has similar lore to explain various things about the world around them.

How are you still typing dude. This is the problem. You are sharing WAY too many pieces of info at once.

[opaque thistle]

bruh I know there's just so much supporting evidence here and I just can't think of how to lay it out w/o giving like way too much honestly, it's how I know that I'm right though I keep running into more and more and more that keeps tying back and back and back and lining up exactly perfect like 😭

[solid jay]

Like you've been typing for 15 minutes.

[hard current]

I would put it in your thread, ideas are ideas, but we can't clog up the main channel and the off topic channel with massive writings

I think the longest message rob has ever eyed was.. two sentences? maybe three, if someone agrees with you or thinks it's a good direction, they'll join your thread

[solid jay]

It looks like you are finding associations for things and shoehorning them to fit your narrative. You're creating a fallacy to fit your findings. You need to take a step back and look at things from a different angle.

[pure loom]

have you adjusted this frame at all? I don't see this in the same frame

[opaque thistle]

that's only because there's too much genuinely connected information to show it all to you guys without people immediately being turned off by it because of how much there is so I have to try to summarize and skip tons of the supporting evidence I have

[hard current]

then useeee the thread homie, you can explain it ALLL there without posting a book in here 😉

[solid jay]

Really just trying to help you man. I mean no disrespect.

[hard forge]

our goal is the same.

One night three dawns must be a map with three morning variants and a night

Is they any way to see all the weather variants without playing for hours?

[pure loom]

This is the same frame - no face there

[solid jay]

You need to take a look at your content and translate it to point form if you want people to follow your thread.

The walls of text are not digestible. I can't go into your current thread and be like "ah yes this message contains X" and link it without also linking a massive amount of other erroneous info and that's problematic.

Even some simple spacing like this would be useful to discern one topic from another.

[dusky grove]

Alright then, guess I got baited. Sorry for waisting time lmao. Did look a bit odd that the face looks exactly like something from gmod

[pure loom]

there are overlapping numbers that look a little like a face

[dull marsh]

Einstein stuff keeps getting better, we now have 3 direct links between him and Paul Klee's Ab ovo #1209846680653004870

[dull marsh]

Still missing a good link with Euler, but it might be as simple as Euler = e = electron = Einstein

[hard current]

mmmm this one is reaching imo😉 the rest of the stuff you found though, incredible connections.. too many coincidences but then again.. we've said that before heh

[dull marsh]

Yeah I feel like Euler is more important than just e

[solid jay]

Nah that's what makes it so great. It's just so simple.

[dull marsh]

It's starting to be quiiiite a lot of coincidences hahaha

But yeah I want more, still not quite sure on the connection with Egg but I might have some stuff from what rob has said

[true iris]

By saying that CNS would need to compete, are the foreshadowing an update where people can fight for CNS? Like decide to join them and then start winning tournaments?

[opaque thistle]

ughh it's just so hard to explain it any other way because of how I want to make sure that I don't lose the strands that make them come together or don't get it across why they make sense to go the places they do and it

doesn't help that I'm AuDHD and that even with normal amounts of information I struggle to keep myself from over explaining and getting worked up and overwhelmed with all the information, and I'm also hella

hyperfocused on expanding and finding these threads and just keep piecing them together like candy but keep losing all my motivation for it the second I try to explain bc I'm both terrible at condensing it AND people often

don't get what I'm seeing with how the connections chain together. For me it feels fluff free, explain the background on why this person is relevant, connect it with its ties to another person or place and their clues/relations

to existing ones and when they line up, and take that combination to move forward to find where they connect into, and double check and see how other things link back to where I was, etc. etc. and it just feels normal, but for

anyone else it's like I'm speaking crackhead schizo 24/7 😩 😭

or facing the reprecusions of my brain being like that and being so drained of energy I cannot possibly concieve thoughts

[solid jay]

My dude, I'm diagnosed ADHD as well and the hyperfocus hits I get it, but there has to be a way to identify key points.

Then if someone has a question you can supply them with logic for it. What you are doing is convoluted that's the nature of it. Don't try to provide every angle for every scenario.

The best part about ADHD is our ability to adapt and overcome quickly, use that to your advantage.

[opaque thistle]

Okay ok you right

[dull marsh]

Guys, I can ensure you if you're deep into the EE hunt you're either ADHD, autistic, both or some other neurodivergence. It's definitely not typical to spend so much time on that kind of stuff haha

The rocket, named after Vega, the brightest star in the constellation Lyra,[11] is a single-body launcher (no strap-on boosters) with three solid rocket stages: the P80 first stage, the Zefiro 23 second stage, and the Zefiro 9 third stage. The upper module is a liquid rocket called AVUM. The improved version of the P80 stage, the P120C, will also be used as the side boosters of the Ariane 6. Italy is the leading contributor to the Vega program (65%), followed by France (13%).[12] Other participants include Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Sweden.[13]

I got this rocket from the page about HCB and the fact that it lines up with the star Vega of Lyra seemed interesting, but then I noticed that it says "The upper module is a liquid rocket called AVUM" Which immediately reminded me of OVUM from the other clues and I was just wondering if anyone else could get anything from this cuz i think issa clue for sure

Avum in Latin is Grandfather

[silver rock]

interesting thing I noticed in the new lore video--there's a point where the "offline" text glitches, and inside that glitch it looks like a bunch of the letter "S" are inside it... all I can think about is "s lies" with this one, but not sure how it connects

[shrewd fog]

found a connection to "three dawns one night". there are 3 dawns known as

• Astronomical Dawn (the Sun is 18 degrees below horizon)
• Nautical Dawn (the Sun is 12 degrees below horizon)
• Civil Dawn (the Sun is 6 degrees below horizon)

that's as far as I've taken it right now, to go further...

• Is there a place in the world that experiences all three of these within one day? I feel like there is.
• 6, 12, and 18 are multiples of 3 and 6... which are numbers we've seen a lot through the EE hunt. Not sure where to take that but feels like something 🤷‍♂️

[feral sparrow]

It would be cool if the devs had like a passcode hidden area and they hide it in a video that we figure out

[flat geyser]

apologies if this is well known already, but at 0:42, there's a frame that says "nocturnal" https://i.imgur.com/IWzmDPR.png

I think that's actually supposed to say "no signal"

[flat geyser]

oh yeah, that makes way more sense lmao

[slender oasis]

Has there been any followthrough on the bruteforcing, t3

[gloomy anvil]

what brute forcing?

[slender oasis]

for the password that you need to unlock t3

[lofty temple]

We don't do that here

[slender oasis]

Isn't t3 considered part of the easter egg hunt, do we need to find it another way

[copper sequoia]

It's part of the rules and spirit of the hunt not to

[quaint wing]

The password is a combination of things we currently have, we just haven't found the right way to encrypt what we need.

[fallen jasper]

What are u talkin abt

[quaint wing]

The password to t3. We have everything we need for this password. We had it all back before release, we just don't know what's needed exactly, or how to encrypt it for the password itself.

[fallen jasper]

Whats t3

[slender oasis]

Ah ok, I did not know that it was against the hunt, mb

[copper sequoia]

We're currently hunting for the password to the t3 page. There's a lot of other things going on in the threads that can help lead to answers to it. Same goes for the lore video and other official art.

We had everything prior to release, but still aren't sure how to put it together.

Good hunting! 🥚

[quaint wing]

All information people are working on can be found in different threads. We have a lot of ideas, but we also like to learn about everything and jump down rabbit holes

[fallen jasper]

Do yall actually play the game or only workin on the easter egg. Just curious...

[hard current]

we play the game too

[fallen jasper]

The determination is crazy, getting a hand drawn version of the maps etc.

[quaint wing]

Gotta have the tools to do what you want efficiently

[hard current]

I maxed my level and bp a month or so ago, so yeah we def play too

[quaint wing]

I'm only missing the win/ money achievements, and had everything maxed in a few weeks. I like seeing what everyone's doing, I'm just not as good at finding things. Can escort a team well though

[fallen jasper]

What's the most trusted theory on the back story of the game so far tho. I mean this "hacked by cns" stuff

[quaint wing]

If you check the wiki, there's a whole section dedicated to lore. Goes over what we know and what we've uncovered

I'm still in the boat that the password is goldegg, but we need to find the proper encryption method.

[twilit forge]

Gold egg or something close to the symbolism, like "goose the laid the golden egg" > space theme

[opaque thistle]

Can pls has feedback on this? (Explanation for how I got there is in my thread but its a lot to unravel) I think I found the next clue, AVUM seems to perfectly mirrors the name and idea of OVUM as AVUM would be the Father of the person who laid the egg OVUM so that means they mirror eachother off the person in the middle as well. Maybe we need to find out who laid the egg?

[hard current]

regarding the CNS stuff there are multiple theories

we know CNS may be a metaphor for “central nervous system” of sorts, but beyond that, nobody can confirm anything

[quaint wing]

This is supposed to be a walk in the park. Which to me screams simple. There's a chance what you think is right, since mirroring is something that can be used. If you have an idea for a password using what you have, just start entering things.

[opaque thistle]

Maybe if its a walk in the park then... Which came first the chicken or the egg? Might be related to the answer lol

[quaint wing]

ABC was gold (viold) and DEF was egg (evivi). If we add then together to get t3, it's a matter of the proper encryption method for goldegg.

That wouldn't be a walk in the park since there's no definitive way to get there.

[fallen jasper]

Js a question, can "S Lies" mean sth about Scotty?

[quaint wing]

That's been my theory from the start, and I got eyes for listing similarities in passwords a while ago, but beyond that, I'm lost, always have been. I'm waiting for cns to leak something and help us

Whenever you have ideas, just start ripping through passwords. Maybe you get lucky and hit, maybe not, but you tried.

[shrewd fog]

4 / 5 of them has to be, Gold, Egg, Latin, Roman numerals

[solid jay]

and then some lol

[shrewd fog]

gold+egg+latin message #easter-eggs message

[solid jay]

We believe the 5 truths to be Gold, Egg, Latin, Space, Mirror

[turbid tinsel]

maybe the plus means we need to add up the roman numerals

[shrewd fog]

I didn't see that Space and Mirror was confirmed

[solid jay]

Ya def the sum of something

[solid jay]

fairly certain we had some eyes on those things

[quaint wing]

I got eyes with 4 things

#easter-eggs message

[solid jay]

ya we def had mirror eyed

[opaque thistle]

yep ^

[quaint wing]

Then we have a chance! I did a lot of password variations originally. Hopefully someone gets something nice soon and we can finally see that glorious sky image

[shrewd fog]

nice viattsta! that's 4 confirmed thanks

[opaque thistle]

I still wanna say 2 of those five have to be considered threads though so I think there is still potentially more truths to be found

[quaint wing]

I'm unsure if these were meant to be truths, or what. Its just what I remember learning about when I got here originally

[opaque thistle]

^

[quaint wing]

That was gold and egg. Those were the two threads

[opaque thistle]

so then what might the other 2 truths be

[copper sequoia]

Roman Numerals

[fallen jasper]

Man i give up💀

[quaint wing]

My original thought was
G=6
O=0
E=6

[opaque thistle]

FF=6 ^

[solid jay]

If there are more than 5 truths then either we aren't listening to a direct clue from rob, or rob is lying to us.

I'm willing to bet he's not doing the latter.

[shrewd fog]

this other message from rob that helps show one of the threads common in T1_F #easter-eggs message

[quaint wing]

That's why I have vi, to always remember that g=vi

We tend to over think direct hints because we're special

The number of times we found g=6 in clues was incredible. Our problem is no one thought to convert g=6 to g=vi. That's why we got stuck so long.

Apply basic logic and you might discover something the rest of us can't

[copper sequoia]

We were close along the line of thinking
#easter-eggs message

[hard current]

isn’t + an ascii character

[turbid tinsel]

my personal struggle is trying to find out what to do with "old" in gold. and whether or not this is an actual latin word or a latin worded leeted out. Until then i dont really have many more ideas here

[hard current]

password is just a bunch of numbers with +’s or literally gold+egg or ovum+aurum or mirrored lol

[turbid tinsel]

i personally think a deeper dive needs to be done in the last 3 images

[quaint wing]

You're up. Start typing.

[opaque thistle]

I gotta go shlump

[quaint wing]

With enough people throwing things at the wall, someone bound to get it!

[solid jay]

i would weep

[shrewd fog]

i have to ask, is Rob intentionally leaving out letters / misspelling words in all of his messages as a hint or is he just a bad typer? lol #easter-eggs message

[turbid tinsel]

idk, ive thought this numerous times. was told it wasnt much to look into

[shrewd fog]

left out A and H and replaced E with D... thinking...

[copper sequoia]

Take 2 things from one part of the level and combine them, then combine the other three together to get our password perhaps?

[silk wolf]

Anyone can link me to all the stuff rob has said

[fresh quiver]

Somewhere is a google document about that. When know one else sent it yet then, I will send it in an hour

[copper sequoia]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfveK-QScK3a7dr9LxGxIuFiw89nhoUxJvbfwCkMgXU/edit#gid=411951774

[silk wolf]

Thank you 🙏🏼

So on the wiki for the eulers equation there’s a part where it describes that it links 5 mathematical constants idk if yall got that already

[hybrid tinsel]

Sans undertale Easter in explosive barrel

[quaint wing]

Perfect. o=i

[proud minnow]

A bit of both to be honest, I’m an artist not a writer, but as I always said there are no cincidences… ._.

[brisk hearth]

o....ya?

[copper sequoia]

Rob alert

[shrewd fog]

my first time talking to Rob, 🥹

[quaint wing]

There's a method to his madness, usually.

[turbid tinsel]

no "o" cant tell if that means no o in gold or just chatting it up lol

[copper sequoia]

There Are No Coincidences: A Manifestation Deck & Guidebook
Book by Aliza Kelly

[brisk hearth]

clearly O is nod to egg 😛

[shrewd fog]

awesome message

[coarse vigil]

Is the 2, 3 thing I saw before about the consonants in gold and egg?

[eternal violet]

Rob, is 1 + 2 = 3 or 12?

[quaint wing]

Ohhhhhh wait. Remove O.

Disregard me. I'm dumb.

[eternal violet]

Oh shit, o is not 0, o is null

[quaint wing]

GLDENEGG HOWEVER....THAT'S 5. BACK ON TRACK

My original theory was we needed 5 truths. GOLDEGG contained 5 letters, each of which could have their own truth. If I apply my current logic to Robs last message, where he removed o from "coincidences" that means GOLDENEGG without O would again have 5 different letters you could apply a truth to. I'm also an idiot. Take what I say with a grain of salt.

[unborn pilot]

I like and yeah 0 was null since it was introduced (but not used as null that tier)

[shrewd fog]

my straightforward thought is the letters hes leaving out are letters in the password, edit: rob wouldn't be that straightforward though

[copper sequoia]

like OYE?

[quaint wing]

I'm just throwing theories out that may or may not function at all. If it manages to be the right train of thought, someone else might be able to drive it home.

[turbid tinsel]

but dare we proceed not seeing eyes with him having just been here?

[brisk hearth]

we just need him to write a full sentence leaving out the exact letters from the pw in the correct order and we can call it a day 😄

[copper sequoia]

Th quick brwn fx jumpd ver the lazy dg

[shrewd fog]

call it a day

[brisk hearth]

im fairly certain he said no more clues. dunno if that includes the eyes emoji

[quaint wing]

Eyes are for things EE related that are 100% correct. He also thought this walk in the park would be done in no time, but we sure proved him wrong! Keep in mind, the eyes might be EE related, but that doesn't mean PASSWORD related

[copper sequoia]

I find the eyes helpful in seeing what's a good lead to keep pursuing. There are quite a few threads that go deep with no eyes

[brisk hearth]

was mirror ever eyed?

what about binary?

[coarse vigil]

What do you guys mean by eyes? I only just discovered this Easter egg thing

[copper sequoia]

The only thing I saw about binary was him eyeing the LIGO detecting gravitational waves but that was in refrence to the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics which point to it being a gold medal so gold

[brisk hearth]

Rob will use this 👀 on comments in chat that are onto something

[quaint wing]

Those eyes mean the comment is 100% something related to an EE. That can mean the password, the roses in the training grounds, White Rabbits (WR), things around the map...All sorts of things!

[zealous breach]

He has done that before lol

Making letters capitalized or not that is

[quaint wing]

CNS might be lurking in the shadows, ready to leak important finals documentation to get us on our way. Remember, this is a walk in the park, we have everything we need, we just gotta put it together

[turbid tinsel]

remember how long it took to understand g=6?

[brisk hearth]

what is everything? we could write an encyclopedia worth of PWs at this point. we have TOO much

[shrewd fog]

we keep it simple and focus, we can do this!

[quaint wing]

I have an idea. Let me try a few things and see how upset it makes me.

[copper sequoia]

The padlet also has some stuff that leaks over from other hunts. Like the WR hunt. People associated the red blue colors with mirrors/mirroring which I don't believe is one of the truths

[shrewd fog]

i agree,, but we def have 4, with this #easter-eggs message from Viattsta. oh my bad we had mirror eye'd

[turbid tinsel]

#easter-eggs message

[brisk hearth]

which is why i was asking if mirror did in fact get eyed but i guess it could been eyed for a diff EE. but so could have other clues....

[eternal violet]

Why is Caesar namatama holding a mirror then?

[copper sequoia]

Alright lets see what we know about mirrors

[turbid tinsel]

it came up on this ee as well as him writing a latin phrase backwards

[quaint wing]

Alright. I upset myself. Thought about rob's messages and came up with viledvivi. It didn't work 😦

[shrewd fog]

nice thanks for confirming mirror

[brisk hearth]

was a backwards input used on any of the other PWs in this tier?

[turbid tinsel]

no, i just said it was just given for a clue in this last password we are looking for lol

[brisk hearth]

hmmm then i dont know if writing something backwards is the key. He did elude to properties that have been constant within this tier...backwards mirroring doesnt seem to be one. Could the backwards latin just be a nod to the mirror of something like LIGO?

and just to be clear, mirroring text not only flips the order but the letterforms themselves, resulting in just shapes

[turbid tinsel]

he wrote a latin phrase backwards for goodnight around the same time it was eyed, and fold/mirroring has been mentioned without eyes

[brisk hearth]

writing backwards is not mirroring though (not completely)

mirroring text = nonesense

[turbid tinsel]

Im just trying to say, i feel like we would have already gotten a nod to do this if that was the fact, this has been mentioned previously and got no eyes.

[brisk hearth]

gotcha

[copper sequoia]

in the vvv.png Nama Tama is seen wearing a civic crown which is a laurel wreath. A nobel prize winner is considered a Laureate to make the nobel prize connection. You can also connect it to Veni, vidi, vici which connects Cesar who was given to both August and Julius Caesar

[turbid tinsel]

like i could be wrong, but to go to that extent for a password with all we have at hand as clues and still are at a stand still, we would be here for a long time.

[copper sequoia]

Its in the wiki and one of the things that hasn't been explored. Veni, vidi, vici was eyed so im trying to tie it in

Awfully rude, just going off what is out there.
https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/TFEE_T3

Its the finals wiki. It's maintained by the community managers

[quaint wing]

Everything on the wiki is written by specific hunters/CM's who have kept track of ALL the things. The padlets, threads, everything has basically been upkept by a few others.

I've also been working on a theory. I'll share it in a bit if it's fleshed out well enough.

[turbid tinsel]

for someone who is new and doesnt seem to know much about the ee hunt you should tone it down and check out the onboarding channel and threads ect

[copper sequoia]

Keep it civil, treat others with the same way you would want to be treated. The whole reason for the hunt is to allow everyone to work together as a whole to solve a fun puzzle. Other people's insights and comments could help lead you to your own revelations or opinions which is part of the fun. Happy hunting and have a good night all

[brisk hearth]

instead of mirror as the 5th, what about numbers/measurement?

[turbid tinsel]

idk how many times i have to tell you it was eyed and he literally gave a latin phrase backwards

thats like us getting g=6 eyed but deciding it was irrelevant

[brisk hearth]

what other passwords in this tier required mirroring?

[turbid tinsel]

its not just relevant to the last passwords itself, every password had something added to it or something new added into how it was written

[dull marsh]

As far as I'm aware only E = 3 required mirroring

[turbid tinsel]

as well as 3=iii

[brisk hearth]

how is 3 = iii a mirror?

[velvet narwhal]

And some clues were only visible when you used a mirrored image

[turbid tinsel]

its not, 3 was used as iii as well, it was referencing 3 itself

[brisk hearth]

after reading through each wiki page, actual numerals look to be a stronger common thread throughout all of the PWs than mirror (from my POV.... dont shoot me)

[unborn pilot]

If they’re truths then we need to look back and prove them on every tier

[brisk hearth]

which is why im making the case for "numbers"

[unborn pilot]

E mirrors to 3
I mirrors to I or 1
O mirrors to O or 0

[turbid tinsel]

e=3=iii g=6=vi

[brisk hearth]

thats not a mirror.....

[velvet narwhal]

g=6 is a mirror (wrong response...)

[turbid tinsel]

based off of our last passwords thats what those have been interpreted as

caco3 was turned into cacoiii

[lapis hinge]

New season easter agg

[velvet narwhal]

To get to the newest Namatama we had to mirror parts of a qr code and the namatama is even holding a mirror

[lapis hinge]

I see a main game imtro to new season

[dull marsh]

Yes but mirror is by far the weakest truth, sure it was a clue but is it a truth?

[turbid tinsel]

it was eyed and rob said good night in latin backwards, idk what more of a sign we need as proof

[brisk hearth]

the only true mirrors are things like Os or Is...mayyybe E=3. Go point some text in a mirror and youll see the flipped letters arent letters anymore in a sense. To add to that, how was mirror used in the first, second, third..etc pw???

[rain comet]

Already covered m8, Stick around and check channel egghunt onboarding if you want to know more
How do you link channels again?

[velvet narwhal]

if numbers were a truth. letters could also be seen as a truth...

[sand rune]

#egg-hunt-onboarding

[rain comet]

oh found it ty Just copy the damn link was the answer

[sand rune]

30 sec cooldown is hella annoying

[rain comet]

I believe it was 15 sec?

[dull marsh]

Yeah you're right, I'm just afraid we might be misinterpreting that 🤔
The thing eyed was latin + mirror, never said it was a truth

[unborn pilot]

I think everyone has a different idea of what a “truth” is. We probably shouldn’t be too stuck on what can/cannot be used now. If it’s been a repeating theme or a clue from Rob lately especially it’s important.

[velvet narwhal]

Either way mirror is relevant for this tier. I think it is a truth and should be bundle together with latin

[brisk hearth]

sure? im just second guessing mirror as the 5th, and especially needing to specifically write the PW backwards. Numerals just seem like a strong theme with things like dates, periodic tables, melting points, leet speak...etc 🤷‍♂️

[dull marsh]

Teeeeechnically, gold and egg are not true for every passwords, they're two main threads but the 5 truths might not include them, only lead to them 🤔

[velvet narwhal]

Then mirror and latin are missing one more truth or the other 3 are the other group (referencing the eyed whiteboard diagram #easter-eggs message)

[turbid tinsel]

#easter-eggs message

[velvet narwhal]

yeah but numbers is such a abstract theme. you could connect to it every time. just like letters...

[timid solstice]

Day 97

[dull marsh]

1337code would be a better truth than just "numbers"

[turbid tinsel]

if g=6=vi, is it possible we have to use 6 instead here as g since most of this is some form or leet speak in the passwords and 6 hasnt been used yet?

just a thought but idk if its solid enough to dive into yet

this thought is based on e=3=iii and all of those have been used in a previous password. NVM 6 was used in 1064

[velvet narwhal]

I agree with you. I think that we are still missing 2 truths

[turbid tinsel]

the numbers 0-7 have been used in the previous passwords leading up to here i noticed

[brisk hearth]

we dont talk about numbers here

[velvet narwhal]

we do, but some of us don't think that it's a truth. We do not stop you from investigating this. Maybe you'll even prove us wrong.

[brisk hearth]

nono, please prove ME wrong. I want to see that mirrored PW more than ever now

[dull marsh]

Guys it's not a pp length contest, please keep it nice.
We're just saying "numbers" seems too broad to be a truth, but we might be wrong and obviously numbers are involved one way or another

[quaint wing]

My guess has turned into a variation of vildevivi, since vilde=devil, then I need to figure something out for vivi. Taking o out since Rob did for his message today, vi for G as the other passwords were, and struggling to find more after that.

Remember, simplicity is key. This is a walk in the park and we keep taking paths to scary forests.

[rain comet]

did he eye deviled egg?

[velvet narwhal]

nope https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfveK-QScK3a7dr9LxGxIuFiw89nhoUxJvbfwCkMgXU/edit#gid=411951774

[rain comet]

WHAT??
I believe he eyed deviled egg before. I must be imagining things smh.

[velvet narwhal]

You could then also turn the e into a iii to have only roman numerals (but then it would no longer be devil)

[quaint wing]

Thought for devil was simply because the first completion egg was

[rain comet]

Is the answer just d36l?

[quaint wing]

I feel there's some complexity to it since Rob himself was worried he may have typed the password wrong when he saw how close some of us were getting.

[rain comet]

shall we like search the passwords channel before rob said that?

[velvet narwhal]

we also have some connections to devil via appearances of 666

[velvet narwhal]

the list is made by exporting the mainchat and some threads. I could have missed it if it gets eyed in a thread that I didn't export. But I can't recall deviled eggs ever getting eyed.

[eternal violet]

Maybe OYE meant o -> e, that way you get devil straight from viold

[velvet narwhal]

Rob also used 0Y3 once #easter-eggs message
But i don't know what to take from that.

[quaint wing]

I'm only basing what I said off of his comment today where he removed o from coincidences. And mashing together logic that makes sense to me, but may not make sense in the grand scheme of things. I'm also way too confident in the password being goldegg and am only working with that for everything.

[velvet narwhal]

Latin Mirror Space

One of the missing truths could be the g=6, e=3, o=0 (the truth could be called 1337)

[eternal violet]

I like the devil angle, with all the 666 it's strange that it never crossed my mind

[rain comet]

0YE? Y axis Euler?

Why is the stage name even The Promise?

[quaint wing]

Promise there's more to come ❤️

[lapis hinge]

[eternal violet]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yttrium_barium_copper_oxide this seems kinda interesting

Did anyone else spotted this strange glitch-like sphere somwhere in the building on the las veags map? I do not remember specific place i spotted this but this was during normal tournament in round 1. The sphere has this glitch animation and I captured last frames of it (before i died ofc), the animation is repeated. I am attaching link to the screen because it seems i do not have a rank to attach it here (removed, its below)

[rose lichen]

And it's seemed to be "Behind the walls"

[vagrant jacinth]

I feel like thats onto something

[sand rune]

Cns trying to rescue us 🔥🙏🏻

[rain comet]

This is erwset's Screenshot btw

[rose lichen]

Might be useful: this was next to an end of the map

tbh I don't remember. Its a corner of a building where cashout is on first floor, but this floor with cashout is more like a inside balcony

a map of las veags map would be useful...

[dull marsh]

Check #1204968975881216110 thread, there are some maps

[rose lichen]

It's a "map" of this place, above were some windows in the ceiling. the sphere was on the righ side of the painting https://we.tl/t-t9Ed0SXrll

[silk flax]

Omg I'm a yellow and just remembered I took pics when I was in vegas

[dull marsh]

@rose lichen image

Is it in the Eastwood casino, the old style one full or wood?

[rose lichen]

Might be, pretty vintage look

[velvet narwhal]

It should be Eastwood if I understand this image correctly

[dull marsh]

Yeah then it's Eastwood

I think it should be in the red rectangle area, not 100% sure tho

[rose lichen]

Yeah, 100% sure eastwood. Found the location but on regular match and found nothing

[solid jay]

Try working with the word gilded it is kinda close to your devil attempts.

[formal moon]

Guess new map is based in the East of the world maybe NCS is a asian or Arabic

[lusty frost]

Has anyone looked at the Holtow website GIF frame by frame? I just had a look and one of the frames has 8,1 on it

[hard current]

#1185727960980922488 🙂 may correspond to “load 8 1” (I’m missing syntax)

[lusty frost]

It's actually written "",8,1 not sure what it means if anything 🤔

[solid jay]

This is not a bad idea tbh

[civic hornet]

Compile a list of all passwords that were input for T3 prior to Robs message. Sort them by feasibility and then work through each one with variations

perhaps that would be considered brute forcing it though

[bronze wolf]

i actually spent a couple hours trying to do this, thankfully the entries around december last year aren't TOO crazy

still feels like poking around the dark in an orgy tho, sometimes nice, sometimes weird

[civic hornet]

guess its hard to figure out where the mistake in the pw is

[solid jay]

This is less brute force IMO and more double checking. Possibly applying more recent information to the solutions to improve them.

[bronze wolf]

i think brute forcing it would be actually using tools to put in entries at non human rates, us wildly guessing is just half the fun lol

[civic hornet]

I think there is enough of us to where if we seperated out the password into groups we could have groups focus on a set of entriees

keep track of each change made within an excel and slowly work through them

[bronze wolf]

you sound an awful lot like my manager lol, but they're cool so it's all good 🙂

[civic hornet]

The tricky part will be figuring out what changes need to be made to a password

[hard current]

iirc rob doesn’t go into/view that thread

[bronze wolf]

you do bring up a good point, actual group organizing towards something specific seems like a decent approach, but it's so hard to stay laser focused with all the related threads

[civic hornet]

agreed, I think we need to nominate a group of people as managers

[hard current]

what’s more likely is someone said something in THIS chat between the time he said that and the last time he was online (iirc it’s like 4-5 days of messages) and he was reading since the last time he was on, BUT if he does check in every night and read as he says, it’s more likely that someone said something the evening before (remember, sweden time) that said something to make him say that

[solid jay]

Ya not expecting it to be checked or anything. Just for us to self audit.

[bronze wolf]

there was one message (looking for it now) where someone mentioned sweden and rob's message was super sus after

[civic hornet]

Managers can then keep everyone on track or be dedicated to certain threads or odeas

[sand rune]

Maybe start a new thread for the Vegas sphere?

[bronze wolf]

found it, this one here really catches my attention
#easter-eggs message

rob doesn't usually seem so, i dunno, "up front" and clear with his messaging, so this one is weird

[rain comet]

maybe compile a list why the password is feasible

[bronze wolf]

it does make me curious how rob sorts through stuff, cause it's ALOT of msgs - maybe he searches specific words to check on us? Figure his search key out, figure out our major thread?

[fresh quiver]

he searches for specific key words, but also reads all the messages of the chat here

[bronze wolf]

rob is actually a robot, got it lol
that's kinda crazy tbh, respect

[signal grotto]

Guys, did anyone check up on the phone call gesture, that came with drago set three weeks ago? I can't really tell who's or what the callers are talking about it, i think it has 3 versions of conversation

[bronze wolf]

pretty sure it's various sponsors calling you, feel free to correct me if i'm off base tho

[signal grotto]

theres picture of the caller too i think, cant zoom into gestures in the main menu unfortunately so cant really tell, but yeah just wanted to know if anyone found anything with it, but might be just normal gesture that doesnt hold any easter eggs, info or etc within

[bronze wolf]

I therefore summon somebody who can run the game in 8k!!
waves hand feverishly

[fresh quiver]

cant find the message rn where he said that, but its there somewhere. Probably need to look at 20 pages of messages when im home

[bronze wolf]

gonna dig around for it a bit later, good to know

[hard current]

iirc he’s said before he looks for keywords

#easter-eggs message

Hi.!
There are actually some clues you missed in the images released for Level 2 - T1A... some of the clues have multiple levels so they can actually help you in the future, both in the EE-hunt now and for future EE's in the actual game when it is live, so I will not spoil these ones...

[rain comet]

can someonr link the msg where rob was scared that the password was close?

@fallen jasper hi could we remove/lower the cooldown? things have chilled out massively since yesterday:)

[cursive star]

I created a Padlet with some key information for the T3 password, it could be helpful for newcomers.
Is anyone willing to take a look and tell me if it could be useful?

[bronze wolf]

well TIL you can get a nobel prize as a game designer, cool factoid regardless

[unique spruce]

not truly the nobel prize i think

"Inventas vitam iuvat excoluisse per artes" is a Latin inscription that appears on the reverse side of all three Nobel Prize medals. The inscription translates to "It is beneficial to have improved (human) life through discovered arts".
The inscription is an adaptation from Virgil's Aeneid

i see @hard current already pointed to this and that its line 663 from book 6 of the aeneid (egg mirrored)

Original title AENEIS

I wasn't in gas before this, so why is it like this

A narrative work beginning in medias res (Classical Latin: "into the middle of things") opens in the midst of the plot

[bronze wolf]

hamlet is probably the most famous example of in media res, so i am also stuck on this one too

[unique spruce]

The word "egg" reference is to the mythological origin of the Trojan War.

The Golden Bough is one of the episodic tales written in the epic Aeneid, book VI, by the Roman poet Virgil (70–19 BC), which narrates the adventures of the Trojan hero Aeneas after the Trojan War

[warped karma]

easter egg

[sand rune]

~~ Fr! 👆🏻 ~~

I am playing many ranked games, I will send information if I encounter this visual thing

[solid jay]

yeah many of these are already known

[warped karma]

k

good thing im not just mentally insane

oh wait

[unique spruce]

#easter-eggs message rob left out O here. O = 0 = NULL, remove the letter from the password

0Y3 = Y3

[rain comet]

Y euler?

[unique spruce]

year 3. another astrologer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius_Claudius_Balbilus

Balbilus died in 79, possibly in June of that year

F... M... L... 79 AND 6

[bronze wolf]

intriguing line of thought here tbh, and y= anything instantly makes me think of a variable in a formula and I personally don't think i've punched too many pwds with a Y in it.. hmmm (probably reading into it too much)

[warped karma]

year 3

[bronze wolf]

hmm, kinda random thought, but iirc Ab urbe condita was a key clue in T1A, and 3 BC is actually 751 Ab urbe condita - 751 ring any bells?

[rain comet]

?

[bronze wolf]

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

wrong tier though, just double checked and it came up as a key in T1B

... of which the eventual answer for the tier was indeed 79, very curious indeed

[warped karma]

so why a clue leading to a previous password

[bronze wolf]

there's some common threads in every tier that apply to where we are now, so working backwards might help find those key threads

#easter-eggs message
this comment here

[rain comet]

check Ab urbe condita 1064?

[bronze wolf]

AD 311, time to check it out i suppose

[unique spruce]

and is et in latin

0Y3 = 0 and 3 = 0 et 3

[coarse nexus]

i dont know its bug or ester egg but i see person with red helthbar and nickname but his mate have puple color

[unique spruce]

viold et evivi

[warped karma]

claudius reminds me of hunger games which has some similarities to this game

[hard current]

try the passwords and reverse text too

[bronze wolf]

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

this dude died on the day, but the first paragraph had an interesting nugget

Galerius ended the Diocletianic Persecution when he issued the Edict of Toleration in Serdica (Sofia) in 311.

Serdica being the original roman of SOFIA

[warped karma]

hey im orange now yipee

[lunar spade]

Y could mean 150 (other culturs adapted the roman numerals)
1503
The year nostradamus is born. Very suspicious you are @unique spruce

[solid jay]

Looks like a bug not EE related

[unique spruce]

hmmm.. what do we say about coincidences? 👀 Seek the truth beyond the walls.

[warped karma]

eye emoji?

[rain comet]

Is it possible that Namatama is the last truth?

Think about it.

IIRC every stage had Namatama

[warped karma]

wdym im new here

had namatama

like in the password?

[solid jay]

Please go through this and read the wiki as well to get caught up
#easter-eggs message

[unique spruce]

the namatamas are given to us when we struggle, as an extra clue. dont think itd be part of the password although namatama is an egg.. sooo... yea

[alpine whale]

is that a yolk? the colours look similar

[bronze wolf]

ffs, I keep looping back into this same issue - æ

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Æ

this letter comes up in a fair bit of latin text and I can't shake the idea that it looks mirrored (and flipped as well of course)

[unique spruce]

vaguely resembles the finals logo too, wonder if it was inspiration for it

[signal grotto]

is this real? wow

[bronze wolf]

I'm mostly interested in it because Old Swedish used this same character before turning into ä

And rob's very fishy comment when someone mentioned swedish really caught my attention

#easter-eggs message

[unique spruce]

æsop

[signal grotto]

It looks like broken egg or nama-tama, but i like the theory about cns trying to turn off the vr headset off more

[bronze wolf]

i cannot for the life in me make any other significant connections to swedish/sweden, so maybe something to it?

[fast frigate]

Infected participants throwing up after a match

it's eye shaped too

[rain comet]

I am currently compiling every password entered before robs message

[cursive star]

Ring bell for service 🔔

[rain comet]

Maybe sort them by the if they contain any truths of some kind

and rank them accordingly

That way we can find the password faster

[solid jay]

ya you may be looking for something that just isn't there and putting too much weight on it because the studio is Swedish

[bronze wolf]

definitely feels that way, but then I REALLY don't understand rob's comment then - le sigh

[solid jay]

Feels like you may be reading into that one a bit too much

[sand rune]

I was just joking about Cns and the be headset, but I like, that it turned into a theory that quick 😹

[plucky kettle]

if this game is in vr, when are we gonna actually be able to play this game in vr?

[solid jay]

This isn't on topic friend, take it to https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1201288968562552863

[unique spruce]

when embark hires me and gives some creative liberty 😆 im no coder but i have learned a little unreal engine on my own the past few years, working on a vr shooter. would love to be part of that project

[rain comet]

https://cryptpad.fr/sheet/#/2/sheet/edit/qV5YRkxR2PQXpuMbZ1h7e2ZN/

here we go

its in

[alpine junco]

The password is

[rain comet]

edit mode so try and copy it

i am going to bed

literally on 24 hour energy

if you want another one ama create uneditable sheet and leave it open to download

https://cryptpad.fr/sheet/#/2/sheet/view/MNn7a0qpeDS4HWvJTdmHv4MYx0kA0xYDocYZ8p6ZKYc/ non editable version

I might have missed few user names

Password has to be a variant of the passwords I compiled, if not it should be the ones i missed

After rob said, the tier was almost solved the entire passwords really went off the rails

[bronze wolf]

love this, was trying to do something similar just in discord, so this is great

[rain comet]

It might have been robs attempt to throw us off

[cursive star]

Great job! Just one question, where did you find these passwords exactly ?

[rain comet]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1175206999802249307

[lunar spade]

was the second newest artwork in the offical-art channel already analyzed? Released on 8th feb

[rain comet]

Use the 4 known truths are sort them how ever you like

[rain comet]

Yeah, these egg heads already did it.

[lunar spade]

What was the result?

[rain comet]

still on going

they found some kind of encrypted string on it

[rain comet]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1204573219894468648

#1204573219894468648

[rain comet]

read it man

you will enjoy it and become one of us

[cursive star]

Ok, I was thinking of extracting the passwords present in the conversation between Nov 30th and Dec 5th.

[rain comet]

I already did it

You might as well do it 2nd time since i might have missed some stuff

[lunar spade]

thanks!

[hard forge]

can I get a pdf, that link is taking ages for me

[rain comet]

We enjoy new point of view

[rain comet]

Lemme try exporting it to pdf

[hard forge]

thankyou

[cursive star]

Oh ok! And are these passwords also found in the cryptpad? Also can you explain the color code

[rain comet]

yeah

I was going to sort them

through

think of it as more raw data

[cursive star]

Sorry if I'm being bothersome, but it really interests me!

[hasty anvil]

With our recent findings of Euler, and rob calling back to 036 again now, can we connect the 2? Maybe 0, -1.5 , 3 , -4.5 , 6?

[rain comet]

Oh the color code just default discord background

Didn't bother to change it back to white

[cursive star]

Ok, got it! TY

[fresh quiver]

Hey rob, do we may need 830606 now?

[snow walrus]

just in case anyone wondering Rob is here

[rain comet]

These dates, do they mean something s/

[hard forge]

036?

[warm kestrel]

Hey guys, what new theory’s have been made? Someone fill me in

[hard forge]

GEO?

[hasty anvil]

o0e3g6 i just took base numbers

[fresh quiver]

does it may be smart to roll it up backwards?
find the cipher key rob uses see the pattern, find the T3 password

[hasty anvil]

but after we found recent Euler clues, i feel like Rob's been pointing back to g6e3o0 more recently

[hard forge]

063 = ?

[unique spruce]

The Latin phrase praesto semper can be used to suggest something is always at hand, present, or ready to help

[fresh quiver]

63 would be a C in ASCII again. also you can write hex as 0x63 iirc

[rain comet]

🥘

[hasty anvil]

036 OEG
063 OGE
306 EOG
360 EGO
603 GOE
630 GEO

[hard forge]

ASCII - Decimal - Hexadecimal - Octal - Binary
3 = 51 = 33 = 63 = 110011

? = 63 = 3F = 77 = 111111

6 = 54 = 36 = 66 = 110110

null = 0 = 0 = 0 = 0

[opaque thistle]

Holy shit rob showed up

[snow walrus]

birth of gold?

[cursive star]

'The birth of gold occurs in the process of nuclear fusion at the core of stars, especially during supernova explosions. During these cataclysmic events, heavier elements, including gold, are formed through the fusion of atomic nuclei.'

[snow walrus]

i'm checking the padlet like pretending i'm new to the hunt and trying to see the common thing. That's what came to my mind

[cursive star]

birth of the universe ?

[hard forge]

before you post anything, try using the discord search feature to know if it's already discussed.

:troll face:

[snow walrus]

what a welcoming community wow i liked here

[solid jay]

This would lead to stars and various elements

[snow walrus]

a pinned message includes this. I'm not throwing a new idea, im trying to re-evaluate

[solid jay]

Ah okay! I'm trying to keep up today, but got other stuff going on.

[olive vessel]

the game is full of bugs 😮

[dull marsh]

Rob, are Monaco's graffitis all on indestructible walls? We're losing our minds out there

Started to look out of bounds and stuff 🥲

[unique spruce]

the truth is beyond the walls 👀

[fallen jasper]

Seems CNS got this one before launch. Posting it again so everyone can access it

[somber ember]

Is theer a new loading screen in the finals?

[plucky kettle]

no

[fast frigate]

got this too

[plucky kettle]

not bugs, features

[plucky kettle]

bug??

[fast frigate]

got these 2 so far

[plucky kettle]

or is it for everyone that

[olive vessel]

ok great features that they made landmines stuck in air and breach charge and other things :3

[plucky kettle]

yep, features

huh is links allowed :3

[plucky kettle]

yeah

[olive vessel]

ok

[olive vessel]

what if a person puts a virus link in :3

[plucky kettle]

idk, not really related tho

[lean dew]

hey im kinda confused w the lore

[turbid tinsel]

had my first glitch effect in the game, of course my recording wasnt working but was seeing some weird stuff outside the map in post game camera glitch on Seoul

[hard current]

tourney?

[turbid tinsel]

yea ranked game

[opaque thistle]

Okay so I found an interesting trail from that idea about looking into the birth of gold and it brought me back around to this computer named MANIAC in Los Alamos and along the path there i also found references explicitly to Einsteinium, Fermium( Element named after a contemporary of Stanislaw ulma), Chess, and the Monte Carlo Integration which is part of the Monte Carlo method which id found before from Stanislaw Ulma and links directly to Monaco

[turbid tinsel]

was in the team format screen and then it bumped me to spectator came and i could move the camera around and look around

there was this big building that looked kinda lit up in a weird way way in the distance

[dull marsh]

#1209846680653004870

[opaque thistle]

Interesting

[hard current]

Question: what if the references to euler, and the numbers we have in the old passwords, mean we have to do.. some sort of math by euler on those numbers to point us in the right direction

just trying to think of other avenues at this point, the #1209846680653004870 had a lot of connections but no confirmation

[dull marsh]

Euler biggest thing is e, it can also relate to orbits and to circle

Yup I'm slightly less convinced by Einstein as Rob hasn't eyed anything related to it

Might be an actual big coincidence

[timber spindle]

I had a simmilar experience some time ago, and i thought it was a bug because the mouse was blinking on the screen and I had to click and drag the camera.

[hard current]

e as in, eulers constant?

[dull marsh]

Euler's number is e, Euler's constant is another number represented by the greek letter gamma γ

[bronze wolf]

found something pretty darn interesting, if not connected. I was trying to learn about tantalum, einstenium, Nobelium and wound up here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cozy_Bear

A Russian hacker group called Cozy Bear. The group has been given various nicknames by other cybersecurity firms, including CozyCar, CozyDuke (by F-Secure), Dark Halo, The Dukes (by Volexity), Midnight Blizzard (by Microsoft), NOBELIUM, Office Monkeys, StellarParticle, UNC2452, and YTTRIUM.

[hard current]

fair, but O? (EOY-OYE) O represents “on the order of” usually used for computational performance

[bronze wolf]

with all our CNS hacks recently, maybe something to it?

[silk wolf]

There’s grin at the end of the glitch video of you flip it I think

[opaque thistle]

Okay that looks very interesting. Dukes could refer to the dukes of valentios of Monaco btw

[dull marsh]

O could also be theta, usually representing angles and used by Euler, it looks kinda similar θ

Theta Gamma Epsilon

[hard current]

so
OYE = theta gamma epsilon

you beat me

[dull marsh]

I already noted that 2 days ago on my paper hehe

But it didn't lead me anywhere

[hard current]

yeah I’m not sure we’d go from there

[opaque thistle]

Im looking right at where to go with the Einstein stuff rn ong

[hard current]

my only hesitance with it is that rob hasn’t confirmed any of it tho it does feel extremely coincidental in spots

[opaque thistle]

I'm finding much more direct links atm that tie in very tightly with some other stuff I've been looking at, it seems related for sure

don’t forget where rob literally wrote a line of latin mirrored

[dull marsh]

Also epsilon is written Ɛ which mirrored is completely 3

[hard current]

but then how does… how does gold egg space latin, nobel prize(s) electromagnetism, gravity, mirror… how does it all fit man

I mean it feels like there’s a theme in it all… but I can’t name it

rob eyed so many messages about “GOLD+EGG”

and the only thing I can think of is the literal numerals and roman numerals in the passwords for each category

math has gotta be a part of it to some degree thanks to euler

[snow walrus]

also remove "o" in the password
