easter-eggs

[hasty anvil]

I've been away for a while so i'm playing catch up too lol, seems like main thing right now is geocache connection

[quaint wing]

Everywhere. Everyone's got their own little spin on what they think they password is! People are working out their theories then reporting back. geocache seems to be a hot topic right now since Rob said we weren't done with it yet, technically.

[hasty anvil]

we have 5 truths now as well

[worn flame]

5 truths has been confirmed?

[velvet narwhal]

yes #easter-eggs message

[alpine junco]

this is the only painting in red, blue and green

[quaint wing]

I'm unsure what you're linking here. It's just Robs message about the five truths, not that they've been confirmed. I think I got closest to them with eyes about four topics, but I haven't seen eyes on five yet.

[hasty anvil]

latin + mirror was eyed

so gold egg latin space mirror all eyed

[quaint wing]

Ahhh, perfect. I must've missed that one. Thanks wig ❤️

[hasty anvil]

tbh, i think we have 3/5, and gold and egg are 2 threads still

but I go with both ideas lol

[worn flame]

This is going to be a dumb question and ill try to word it properly.
Does Rob eye messaged that are 100% correct? For example, If the truth was Mirror but NOT Latin would he still eye the message that included them both?

[quaint wing]

Nope. The message has to be 100% correct.

[hasty anvil]

#1204475718747029535 message

[quaint wing]

Rob's not here to guide us away from the light, but to it. If we take his eyes and run into a dark forest, that's on us. lmao

[worn flame]

LMAO. I feel like we are real good at that!

But then we have them all confirmed, yes?
Gold has been eyed
Egg has been eyed
Space has been eyed
Latin + Mirror has been eyed so then that would equal all 5

[quaint wing]

Correct! The picture showing the combination of ?? For ABC/DEF makes me think goldegg or goldenegg is the way to go with geocache being our encoding device for other clues. Mirrored sounds like a palindrome of sorts, so...Hopefully a good puzzle solver will get there soon!

[fresh quiver]

we cant determine if these are the 5 truths we are seeking or not

[velvet narwhal]

It could also be that gold and egg are the 2 threads

[worn flame]

Why not? Rob eyed these in regards to the 5 truths, correct? Would that not be confirmation?

[hasty anvil]

The eyes could be in regards to different things we can't be sure, we just know we are looking for themes across tiers

[quaint wing]

That's the beauty of it, no one's 100% sure (except Rob)! We're all in the same boat making our own holes and patching them as we sail ❤️

[velvet narwhal]

I really don't think that gold and egg are truths since they would need to be in every tier. And they are only in ABC and DEF respectively

[quaint wing]

Basing my words on the picture that was posted with the Gold and white ?? at the top of everything being eyed.

[fresh quiver]

but they would be still patterns in multiple tiers.

[worn flame]

But havent they been?
Hasnt Namatama been consitent through each tier?
Additionally, Gold feels consitent too. Theres always been a mention of gold, no?

[fresh quiver]

Namatama mostly comes as extra clues when we cant figure smth out.

[turbid tinsel]

Did project X get eyes because of team 17 and there were 2 key people on the Wikipedia page with bell as their last name?

[worn flame]

But do those not count as patterns? I feel like there is a LOT of convos about eggs in some format and if not, Namatama is there to provide extra clues.
Im just saying i feel like not having Egg as a truth feels like a hard sell as that, from my perspective unless im missing something has been consistent.

[bronze wolf]

hmmmm, tugging away at this philosophy angle has been very interesting - using "ab ovo" and "the question" as my sort of launch points

[worn flame]

the only reason i say this and im asking more in depth is because i think we should look at the periodic table more. I feel like in some way, that has been consistent through most tiers. Maybe not on a direct level, but i think theres so many elements being mentioned, it feels like could find some clues in it again

[fresh quiver]

the other thing we might have a problem is, that we literally got "goldenegg" scrambled in some patchnotes.

[fresh quiver]

I tried a day to figure out how robs "periodic element shift cipher" works. no clue :c

[worn flame]

ahhh! So the truth could either be "Gold and Egg", or GoldenEgg?

[worn flame]

Could you explain this? I may have missed the context

[velvet narwhal]

Yeah it's true that namatamas are in evers tier, but as samras said they are only there to help us when we're stuck.
About gold I don't think so that it's in every tier.

And if it were consistent in every tier, tier 2 would've been pretty hard to solve.

[unkempt dune]

been taking a look at that Open Your Eyes text and the closest font I've found is CS Takahashi (the photo below is just me drawing on top, it's not CS Takahashi)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monad_(philosophy)

• the image of the monad very literally looks like an egg
• a monad represents the divine and the first thing in existence, and all of existence is begot from the monad

where things get interesting, and is mega over my head:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monad_(functional_programming)

• One example of a monad is the Maybe type. Undefined null results are one particular pain point that many procedural languages don't provide specific tools for dealing with

i don't understand half the stuff in here, hoping one of you comp sci folk could take a peek

[unkempt dune]

only difference seems to be the N

[cloud palm]

maybe its a stretch but the font kind of looks like puzzle pieces that could be put together. Not sure if this was talked about but it came to mind espxially with those green puzzle pieces on the desk photo

[fresh quiver]

P also. yours have 1 dot. hirosh has 2

[unkempt dune]

well, the font I found isn't a match either

[fast frigate]

The guy in your pfp looks just like one of the faces in game.

It's the same face

[cloud palm]

they added joe in the game XD

[fresh quiver]

hirosh is a match.

[unkempt dune]

the bottom left of the N is different

[quaint wing]

One of the things that's been coming up a lot is being off by one. The original password for T1A I believe was 1065 but off by 1, which made it 1064. Just a lil something to keep in mind to slam about while you build up your theories. You can always offset something by one and see if it makes or breaks it 🙂

[unkempt dune]

here's a better question in regards to the font, why that style?

there's at least two fonts that have the same style, why though?

[cloud palm]

i was just thinking that too. is this anywhere any some kind of pop culture rob likes?

[unborn pilot]

lol. I can’t unsee a person on their hands and knees here

[unkempt dune]

uh oh, don't do this to me

[cursive star]

Maybe ?? #easter-eggs message

[fresh quiver]

its just badly visible because of all the things. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1011929497139953744/1210707446482341989/1337.png?ex=65eb8a2d&is=65d9152d&hm=933739c5057f60d330fc29c0723a4229a2bcd83b718b97ae8eecb560068110f5&

the E from Eyes is also overlayed with the embark logo.
you can see the R is the same to hirosh.

[unborn pilot]

I thought the dots made the font interesting

Open your eyes & the dots make the letters look a bit like eyeballs

[cloud palm]

dont know why there is some binary image associated with the text as well as theme of japanese stuff. Japan map??

[unkempt dune]

Hirosh (Dingbats) True Type Font is a font made up of Unusual modernistic letters with a Japanese flavor, and Dingbats patterned after Japanese crests and design motifs. Contains numbers, letters, punct. and many "dingbats".

the font is by Jonathan Smith

AArrgghh! Typefaces used to offer shareware fonts by Jonathan Smith (Cleveland, OH) of Rhode Island Soft Systems: New Land Contour, All-Hearts, Bunny-Lips, Confetti, El-RioLobo (1993, Mexican simulation face), Elbjorg-Script, Essential-Times, Firey, Glifik, Gyptienne (hieroglyphics), Hero-Outline, Hirosh (oriental simulation face; an exact copy of Sukiyaki, made in 1968 by Gene Eidy for Lettergraphics International), Ice-CreamSandwich, Ice-Snow, Made-InTheUSA, New-LandContour, New-LandInline, New-LandOutline, New-LandSport, Ol'54, Planetz, Porter-Lil'Kaps (gorgeous late night show display font), Religious, RockArt, Spider-WebBlock, The-Score, Wet-Paint.

http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-76313.html

Sukiyaki font

There is a plethora of digital copies and revivals of Sukiyaki---sadly, none of these give proper credit.

possible the font is really Sukiyaki

Sukiyaki does have eggs

[cursive star]

eggs ?

[unkempt dune]

Sukiyaki is a hot pot dish

[cursive star]

Ooook my bad

[unborn pilot]

Wow. Good find. So Hirosh is pretty much a copy of Sukiyaki

[unborn ledge]

Also a song with some nice coincidences:

An instrumental version of the song was played by NASA over the radio for the Gemini VII astronauts as mood music, thereby becoming one of the first pieces of music sent to humans in space.[22]
On 16 March 1999, Japan Post issued a stamp that commemorated the song.[23] The stamp is listed in the Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue as Japan number 2666 with a face value of 50 yen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukiyaki_(song)

[unkempt dune]

the one thing I'm really curious about is how the person who wrote that knows about Sukiyaki since I can't find anything else about the font anyway. I also can't find the image from that webpage of Sukiyaki anywhere else

reverse image searching only shows one result:

1968 is a long time ago for a font to be made

not abnormal, but what is abnormal is that nobody talks about it

[quaint wing]

This is a longshot, but the picture you just posted says 1968, 1968+1=1969, when the first moon landing happened. We back to space baby!

[turbid tinsel]

has anyone gotten the phrase from the center of screenshot VVV yet? the art with the purple and the army guy?

[unkempt dune]

The images below show Gene's original artwork (courtesy of Sara Tack)

so apparently the image came from Sara Tack, whoever that is

https://faculty.rpi.edu/sara-tack

Gene Eidy could be a pen name kind of thing. Although the page with the image makes it sound like it's someone different than Sara Tack

Sara Tack does graphic design

Sukiyaki could have been for a client and people copied it

[plucky kettle]

Threads are a great resource

[unkempt dune]

here's another page on the site that talks about the font: http://luc.devroye.org/usa-colorado.html

Sukiyaki was published by Lettergraphics International

[timid solstice]

Swedish comedian and singer Povel Ramel wrote a song, the "Sukiyaki Syndrome", wherein the restaurant customer wants Sukiyaki. There are a number of variations, each with a long description, so long that by the time he orders any of them, the restaurant has run out.

Maybe related? Idk

Guys

I’m on the page where all the codes are shown and for some reason my phone glitched out and made me realize that there’s a very faint square around Tier 1C and Tier1D

Can someone check it on pc so that I know I’m not trippin

I can kinda see it on my pc too if I stare long enough

[jade citrus]

yeah its there, I think we've noticed this before

[silk wolf]

Ok bet

[sand crest]

Could you always "glitch" your way out of the scoreboard scene in tournament matches? The one between rounds I mean. Cause even if I don't die at the very end of a round, I can get out of it by simply pressing random keys/clicks etc. You get a maximum of 45s to 1min to search around the map on spectator mode (buggy as it is) until the other matches finish and you get hit with the loading screen.

[cloud palm]

Seems to be a couple of glitches with tournament ending but don’t seem to be exactly ee related. Earlier today I had a glitch where I could spectate my teammates during the waiting period. Thought I encountered one earlier this week that was related to the hunt but was actually an overlay of the damage red screen and the tournament bracket combined :/

[snow walrus]

That can be the exit ticket from THE FINALS

[turbid tinsel]

merged 3 of the images that were the same dimensions, then swapped the red and blue color curves and ran it through aperisolve and it appears that there is a message along the bottom, what it is i cant make it out but would definitely appear there is something accross the bottom, as well as across the gun on the left and still the message in the middle i cant get clear enough yet.

also appears something may be written on the left hand side in black after playing with it for a little bit using different thresholds in the color profiles, but nothing i can make out yet

[dull marsh]

That part might just be the "THE FINALS" text projected on the character's face

[turbid tinsel]

some of the message in the middle but idk what to make of it

[turbid tinsel]

theres more to it than just "the finals", id bet my life on it.

just need to OYE

granted i merged 3 images and flipped and rotated them together but theres so much un-discovered in these images.

[coarse dagger]

I can't tell from that tiny thumbnail, but it looks like you might be seeing the footer puzzle from Screenshot_015_3840x2160_F:

[unkempt dune]

you know, that 783 sticker on the Monaco trees looks like it has one more character

[turbid tinsel]

i believe so but we still never figured out what it said correct me if im wrong

[unkempt dune]

I know some people think it's a Q and I sort of see that

the sticker is also on the trees in the practice range (probably the same tree model as the trees in Monaco)

[turbid tinsel]

also i believe in that one there was also a bunch or words or markings split up that we were never able to deciper or put together that @balmy fog spent most of his time trying to solve

[unkempt dune]

it's also weird that sometimes the sticker is better quality on different parts of the same tree

am I just seeing things?

[solid jay]

This looks like the lower half of a skull maybe? Reminds me of a tooth x-ray at least

Def looks like an egg shell too

[unkempt dune]

for reference:

[turbid tinsel]

maybe, ive been trying to break it down since ive seen it, but as far as i know its pretty complex to reveal. trying on the base image doesnt show much unless its combined with other images

[little swift]

[solid jay]

what are the 3 base images you used here?

[solid jay]

middle of this image kind of looks like a brain as well

[turbid tinsel]

both of the officials from 10-25 and the one from 1-21 since they are the same dimensions

pretty sure rob mentioned when we were trying to figure out abc and def that one of the 10-25 images were egg related and the other was gold. Could be wrong but i swear he mentioned it. i think the skull girl one was the egg related one though.

but dont quote me on that

[solid jay]

hmm that's obviously what the teeth are cause that's exactly what it is lol

I'm assuming you just havent tried other images yet as well?

[turbid tinsel]

i dont wanna go to far back finding clues for unnecessary tiers. so mostly just the army guy screen shot and those 3, currently trying to just merge army guy with just one of the others same size and not 3 at a time to see if anything stands out.

but using gimp over PS has me feeling like im missing out on some tools

[solid jay]

If i had PS skills I'd help out but all I can do is observe

[turbid tinsel]

gimp is free and all you gotta do is just right click images and play around in color settings

i had zero skills prior to jumping in this channel

i wouldnt call them skills but know messing with certain things makes things look different

[solid jay]

I'll check it out. How is Photopea as a comparison?

Cause i've messed around with that a bit

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Your_Eyes_(1997_film)

Possibly based off: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_Is_a_Dream

[dull marsh]

Seems like a solid lead:

• main character is called César (basically Caesar)

While he is confined to the prison, fragments of his past return to him as if in a dream. It is revealed that, shortly after falling asleep drunk on the street, César signed a contract with Life Extension, a company specializing in cryonics, to be cryogenically preserved and to experience extremely lucid and lifelike virtual reality dreams.

Sounds A LOT like some sort of VR

Returning to their headquarters, under supervision by prison officers, he discovers they specialize in cryonics with a twist: "artificial perception" or the provision of a fantasy based on the past to clients who are reborn in the future.

Rob Blackwelder of SplicedWire gave the film four stars (out of four)

You think you could mark this on a map? Or explain it well enough to go look at in game? This supports one of the things I’m working on.

[turbid tinsel]

i made a comment about bell awhile ago #easter-eggs message, but looking over some other stuff and dropping on c language, A successor to the programming language B, C was originally developed at Bell Labs. is bell supposed to be a clue? i mean we have nobell

it has to be something with nobel peace prize, #easter-eggs message we were so close here

A while ago I also noticed there's a dummy symbol inside (or on) the jump pad in the practice range

not sure if that's the case for all jump pads though

[dull marsh]

That honestly seems like an insane lore clue, Las Vegas map is already full of dying and dreaming references....

Also there are so many hospitals....

[shrewd fog]

yeah honestly i think that egg ends there but it's oonnections are many clearly

[dull marsh]

And the story happens 150 years in the future

[unkempt dune]

you can see it gets clipped by the curve of the jump pad

[dull marsh]

I don't think the lore is linked to that, but it feels heavily inspired by it

another weird fact is that this window is duplicated

you can break the glass and shutters twice

in the mean time i'm going to stare at this page until i figure it out https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/TFEE_T3

[gloomy anvil]

kinda crazy that we've had 3 'official images' since the page was updated, but afaik we've found zero confirmed T3 clues in them

unless you count Euler

[hard forge]

accurate summary.

[shrewd fog]

i can't remember which image it is, but the one with the binary string at the bottom, that translated to CNS La Unica Explicacion CNS, does that count as a T3 clue?

[turbid tinsel]

are there any famous bells in sweeden or any we know of?

gotten to many clues regarding "bell" and im trying to find some historic ones

maybe the bell at tom tower?

was called old tom and old would be a remaining part of the previous passwords but kinda tosses out the 5 truths idea

[gloomy anvil]

I don't know, for me personally the line between T3 and TEH / lore is getting muddied, which I'm sure is somewhat intentional

[sharp flame]

We will never get back on track

[turbid tinsel]

whats your theory fish

[sharp flame]

We should not need any specific new thing to solve this tier

Like I'm talking about any wiki page at all

if there's a boat or a country or a house or an asteroid we find, that will be secondary at most

they are just pointing towards what the password actually is

the most straightforward clues are the ones closest to the password.

We literally got served Goldegg in the bold patch notes

The two Website images were Gold and Egg

it really makes me wonder why people try passwords like "sp3ctrosc0py" 😭😭😭

[turbid tinsel]

Do you think anything needs to be mirrored?

[sharp flame]

Yes, that's a strong possibility

[silk wolf]

Honestly I’m still tryna figure out how Eulers identity fits into all of this

[unkempt dune]

the line/bridge on skyway was faintly there the whole match, it has a tiny pulse

not sure if the conditions of the map matter, but those are them

I wonder why the time is needed when we sort of have that already

[turbid tinsel]

do you have any ideas on if or how klee fits into this? and anything based on the nobel prize?

other than ab ovo

[sharp flame]

I have ideas.. but I don't think they will help us

and I have two main theories but they're quite far fetched

I don't think he's related to Tier 3 as strongly

[little swift]

[solid jay]

is there something Klee might have done specifically in regards to his art style that would give us some sort of clue as to other ways we can manipulate images?

[sharp flame]

My idea was that he is being used in the same figurehead style as Buckminster Fuller was.

Did I ever share my take on Buckminster?

[solid jay]

Not recently but I looked in search #easter-eggs message
Rob was surprised you came across him so quickly

[sharp flame]

I honestly think a reason he appeared was to tease Skyway Stadium

Since that's actually in a geodesic dome

Since he seems a bit unrelated maybe Klee is here for something similar

Nobel Ice Egg, 1914
This platinum and translucent white enamel egg is engraved with underglaze frost crystals. Its surprise is a lozenge-shaped diamond-set platinum and rock crystal watch similarly decorated. This egg was commissioned by Dr. Emanuel Nobel, nephew of Alfred Nobel, of Nobel prize fame. Emanuel Nobel, one of the leading figures of the oil industry at the time, was amongst Fabergé's most notable clients.

also still confused on how guybrush plays into everything

I think, the three headed monkey is just an Easter egg.

[unique spruce]

no shade being thrown at nexon, but to be fair nexon just invested in embark & it

[turbid tinsel]

but why would he give us that hint when we were in a need of one when cm justice asked him to give us one. like i cant see him leading us down an irrelivant hole for something not related to the PW

was doing some noise analysis on one of the pre-ee screenshots (THE_FINALS_Screenshot_0010.jpg) and I noticed this looks like the silhouette of someone looking somewhere with a telescope on Monaco. It's also nearby where rob left one of his signature grafittis

[slender lodge]

I wish we could interact with the telescopes in Monaco

[shrewd fog]

was thinking of golden egg paintings, like ab ovo is a painting and found this cool one, probably nothing though https://www.theheritagelab.in/manaku-egg/

I didnt mean that negatively LOL

I saw them as like valve exploiters for years with zombies css

Its cool they're backing this game given this obliquely passion based aspect

[turbid tinsel]

is it possible that the password we need to use is actually in T9 format?

like goldegg in T9?

or goldenegg

[solid jay]

so 466655533344 = goldegg

[shrewd fog]

"can maybe hear a bell ringing in the distance?" from #easter-eggs message just trying to think 🤔

[hard current]

could’ve just been a hint towards jocelyn bell

[fallen jasper]

Hmm

[hard current]

longest tier ever and I joined on the very first day, gonna be a seasoned vet for the future (I am out of ideas)

[fallen jasper]

Dev

[hard current]

yeh

[fallen jasper]

Just go bribe Robbo at this point

[shrewd fog]

nice holding on devx, im about to hop off the train

[hard current]

I mean being honest I think morale is pretty low overall

but not impossible to do

[fallen jasper]

OI ROBBO
ILL GIVE YA A 6 PACK OF VB LOOONG NECKS if ya Give me the damn password

And a tub of vegemite

[hard current]

I know rob said he only added one layer of complexity to the tier to “hopefully make it take an extra week or two”

so this all has to be incredibly obvious by now, I’m sure Rob is likely thinking of how to give us hints without outright telling us

but I’ll be honest, I still can’t figure out what it’s all pointing at

not even close

[cyan spruce]

How do I get caught up on where we are at?

[hard current]

#easter-eggs message

to me, when rob said “one layer of complexity” I genuinely wonder if

the original password was simply latin/latin mirrored

the binary star clues are pointing to instead a binary input - the one layer of difficulty rob added

…

I’d even go as far to say as we have the password, like literally have it

but the one layer of complexity from rob hasn’t been applied

I personally think it’s binary because of the space clues

[shrewd fog]

totes agree with everything your saying

[hard current]

but… that doesn’t account for the character limit in the passwords.. hey @proud minnow is there a character limit for the password entry? Just want to double check! character limit is 30

[unkempt dune]

does anyone have a link to the first intro lore video w/ in-game subtitles?

[shrewd fog]

the in game ad in the main menu, for join the discord, is literally a nama tama in an astronaut suit, like come on!

[turbid tinsel]

but we also got team 17 who has bell references

and they came afterwards

#1201288968562552863 message

[hard current]

hm… wonder if LIGO 17 and Team 17 are connected then

[turbid tinsel]

or maybe just 17

1 and 7 together look like a D

[hard current]

hm.. that might actually be more likely

but why 17…

[turbid tinsel]

no clue, im honestly out of ideas

and scanning images is getting nowhere for me

[hard current]

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

jocelyn bell won
ligo won
17th winner -> Charles Glover Bakla
ligo 17
team 17

this guy could maybe connect the two… 17th nobel prize winner, physicist known for x ray spectroscopy

[turbid tinsel]

dare i say x marks the spot

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barkla_(crater)

does this look similar to the qb image on the helmet? idr

[hard current]

sadly i don’t think so

[turbid tinsel]

was formerly designated Langrenus A before being renamed by the IAU in 1979.

[hard current]

but x marks the spot, interesting as well

79 😭

[turbid tinsel]

The rim of Barkla is very nearly circular, although it is slightly elongated to the northeast and southwest.

would that mean oval shapped?

[hard current]

hm.. might be a stretch

try passwords you think might work

[turbid tinsel]

idk what to try

[hard current]

Langrenous A with transformations, name of the crater, binary interpretations, who knows

I would but on mobile and heading to SCHLEEP

[alpine junco]

Imagine someone already solved the password and is on T3

[shrewd fog]

lol that would be funny faz, im with ya devx, 😴

[turbid tinsel]

lol im just going to wait for eyes before i get crazy diving into passwords

[turbid tinsel]

just holding out on everyone

not claiming the glory

[hard current]

rob is already on level 3..._.

[unkempt dune]

anyone know where this frame from the announcement trailer was discussed?

[turbid tinsel]

robs probably already finished everything

and just adding even more clues for us struggling

[alpine junco]

There is no ending

He will keep adding levels like candy crush

[turbid tinsel]

im curious if cns is supposed the be like the cozy bear group

#easter-eggs message

[coarse dagger]

There was some promising stuff found in the film:
#easter-eggs message

The main characters in the film are Cesar, Nuria, Sofia - CNS, the love triangle in the film

[coarse dagger]

Dimensions are likely relevant as well and were previously undiscussed:
1644x1337

Coincidence? At the start of the next tier Rob points out 16:45...

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
This jumps out to me because of the "æ"/"ae"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1644

Philosopher René Descartes publishes Principia Philosophiae (Principles of Philosophy) in Amsterdam.

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

The book sets forth the principles of nature—the Laws of Physics—as Descartes viewed them. Most notably, it set forth the principle that in the absence of external forces, an object's motion will be uniform and in a straight line. Newton borrowed this principle from Descartes and included it in his own Principia; to this day, it is still generally referred to as Newton's First Law of Motion.

[eternal violet]

i have a feeling that Y in OYE stands for "combine/merge"

one, in could mean merging oe into œ

because it seems this tier has lots of words that you could write with ligatures: vulpeculae, caesar, aesop, alfred

neutron star merger could also point to this

or two, it could mean merging gold with egg

[turbid tinsel]

do we know much on spectograms from audio?

like i would assume thats not normal but i dont know jack about it

theres a little more but idk what to make of it, this is from the first lore video

[coarse dagger]

Spectrogram human voice

[turbid tinsel]

so your saying that doesnt look like five or any lettering in there?

not sure what your implying

[shrewd fog]

i think it looks normal, i think it’d be more obvious than that, don’t know for sure though

[fallen jasper]

Chinese writing?

[turbid tinsel]

do we actually have the sorce file from the last lore video?

i found it

idk does that not look like "eye" or is that me wanting to believe

like im cool with coincidences but does it not appear something is hidden there?

and if they are hiding something would it be super easy to find? i mean nothing in the images are super easy

these last 2 were from different parts of the last lore video

[bronze wolf]

morning all you eggheads, hope sanity levels aren't too bad

[turbid tinsel]

the only one that appears normal is the thank you openbeta video

[full token]

Fwiw yes, you can 100% use Steganographic techniques with audio waveforms as well. Whether or not he did, I have no idea, but it's definitely a thing. I was looking for somebody a couple of days ago that was looking at audio files, but I couldn't find them in the threads. Were you the one? I was thinking it was you or Dread (or Raid?) possibly. (Just couldn't find where I saw it last and didn't make a note of it)

[turbid tinsel]

nope it wasnt me, i literally just downloaded the program and pulled the videos from the pinned in the lore channel

i personally dont think its a coincidence but who knows.

[rain comet]

i see r here

[full token]

This is like giga compressed, but if you look at the half LSB in the actual image, I was trying to see if (whomever was working whatever audio wise) these matched up to anything. They looked like audio waves to me a bit at the time.

[bronze wolf]

had a bit of a high level thought:

Hamlet=Ophelia=5ts

the theme of character mirrors and character reflections is very prominent. Makes me think the mirror theme may go a bit deeper than just "mirror text for pwd"

Unfortunately once I start searching mirror/reflection and like math, my head and PC both start smoking, shit is so beyond me

but I did stumble onto something else worth mentioning

I always thought the Fields Medal was the "nobel prize of math"

then I stumbled into this interesting nugget:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel_Prize

[visual willow]

What are all the little blips of messages in the opening cinematics that happen sometimes

[bronze wolf]

• When Sophus Lie learned that Nobel wasn't including math, he proposed the Abel Prize named after Niels Henrik Abel, and directly modeled after the Nobel Prize (mirrored?)

• The King of Norway was going to create and fund this, but Sweden and Norway dissolving in 1905 screwed it all up
• The medal was revived in 2002/2003
• Recipients are also called laureates (unsure if this is the case for Fields Medal recipients)

[fresh quiver]

That sounds more then good!

Just looked up Niels Henrik Abel.,

problem: its not listed in the english wikipedia article in the same way.

But if i translate the german its written there:
"where he was strongly encouraged by his teacher Bernt Michael Holmboe (1795-1850), who gave him Newton, Euler, Lagrange, Laplace, d'Alembert and others to read."

[bronze wolf]

Euler's name haunts me, I swear he is linked on EVERY page i find lol

[fresh quiver]

newton is there too in the article

[bronze wolf]

the whole "BEL" connections with JBB would make a bit of sense here

[minor tinsel]

Ehm Guys, The Writing "S Lies" could also means besides from Scotty, that the Team "Shadow Flock" Lies, Like they are Hacking?

(The writing is at the Monaco Map behind a Wall)

[sand crest]

but then Rob says "it's not that hard" and you're back at mirroring passwords.

I was looking at tried passwords for T3 and I saw most people mirroring the letters on the keyboard, but not REALLY mirroring letters horizontally. Like a d becoming a b for example.

[bronze wolf]

I tend to agree with this line of thought, but at this point, I'm scraping the bottom of the bucket

[sand crest]

or a g becoming some sort of 9

[bronze wolf]

had thought that for a bit, but Rob's comment of the mirrored "bonum noctis" doesn't flip the B>D, which I would have expected if it was the case
#easter-eggs message

[eternal violet]

i tried a bunch of nobleg variantions, but i guess i didnt post those

[bronze wolf]

chad EE hunting behaviour, saved em and posted em now

[sand crest]

Nice catch.. so simple mirroring it is

[shrewd viper]

yoo

[dull marsh]

For the audio stuff, usually when we find text it's written with a proper font, so if it doesn't look clear it's probably nothing

The only case I can think of was the Paul Klee signature, which is obviously handwritten

[shrewd viper]

what 💀

[timid solstice]

100 days

[gloomy anvil]

weird to think I've been around for 54% of T3, considering I joined so late

but hey, we'll solve it before season 2 no problem

[bronze wolf]

rob must love watching us squirm, dancing around something that's probably so simple and silly for MONTHS

[solid jay]

I've only been here since Feb 4th but it feels so much longer.

[fresh quiver]

73% it already feels like forever

[solid jay]

Honestly the fact that it feels longer shows we have a great community here though.

[ivory void]

wow easter eggs are so cool!

[dull marsh]

I have a feeling the password starts with vvv

[bronze wolf]

I think I finally understand the references to a Hamlet quote now

Act 5, Scene 1, lines 295-297

• Anon, as patient as the female dove, When that her golden couplets are disclosed, His silence will sit drooping.

Golden couplet directly referring to dove's eggs in this case

Couplet being a poetic device for combining two things as well (as has been brought up before); Only reinforces the fact we're smashing two things together (gold + egg)

[worn flame]

I genuinely feel like we are just pawing around the answer and are all gonna slam our heads on the table when the real password is revealed.

As an idea, like this hasn’t been said before, I am wondering if golden egg is half of it. And space, Latin, mirror is the second half.

I’m thinking through the clue with the puzzle pieces forming into one big picture. It showed 2 pieces combined (gold+egg=goldenegg) and 3 pieces together to form something (mirror+space+latin = something) and then we combine those two things.

As an idea, I’m wondering if there is something we can combine from mirror and space and then turn into Latin maybe.

So then is would be goldenegg+something=password.

[lofty temple]

I've been stuck on this for awhile. He didn't just give the clue LIGO. It was LIGO 17 and I have no idea what the 17 means

[lone wave]

Copula aureum maybe

[dull marsh]

• Team17 and LIGO 17 are connected via 17

• JB Bell is connected to LIGO

• Nobel Prize is connected to JB Bell

• Team17 was created by Steve Bell (CEO) and Chris Bell

• Team17 initially made games for Amiga

• Nobel was Swedish and Nobel Prize are offered by Sweden academy etc.

• Team17 is the merger of 17-Bit Software (British) and Team 7 (Swedish)

• Maybe the merger is like the neutron star merger?

In my opinion this is more pointing toward Bell

[timid solstice]

17 means 2017 afaik

[dull marsh]

Yup, it even means 17 aug 2017, the first confirmed detection of gravity waves (GW170817) that lead to a Nobel Prize

One interesting thing here in france is that at easter, it's not the bunnies that bring the eggs but the bells

that's different Bell tho

[bronze wolf]

Now that I'm making a ton of poetry connections, this stood out to me alot:

• A caesura is a metrical pause or break in a verse where one phrase ends and another phrase begins. It may be expressed by a comma (,), a tick (✓), or two lines, either slashed (//) or upright (||).

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

starting to get the feeling that we're trying to find the right character/unicode value or w/e to properly attach gold and egg

I thought it was a little odd to add 17 in Roman Numerals. It’s quite known LIGO’s big discovery was that exact one so I’m also thinking the 17 has a double meaning. Cause otherwise it’s juts made the puzzle easier for no reason

[hard current]

even if it was just LIGO I think we would’ve identified the same things we did, so I agree, the 17 must have another meaning

[unborn pilot]

Yeah exactly that. We would have.

it’s pretty normal for Rob’s puzzles to have double or trippple meanings

[snow walrus]

CB2 players probably have noticed this but i wanted to double check because couldn't see in the wiki page

[solar glade]

there's many many things that we've discussed and found that aren't documented in the Wiki 😅

Hey everyone, I know the tournament overlay filter has been mentioned before. Maybe this has as well, but it only appears on certain tourney matches, so I believe during that tournament, if you have the overlay and reach the final round, there might be something to find

golden eggs represent prosperity. nobel peace prize. peace and prosperity

a whole lot of messages from rob contain 'tomorrow'

“Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow”
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

(from Macbeth, spoken by Macbeth, act V scene V)

Day by day leads people to their inevitable death. Like a play, life will come to an end one day. In this famous speech of Macbeth, he discusses the futility of life

I'm diamond rank and the only unique bug I've seen while playing ranked is the post round spectating bug, which Rob has said is probably an actual bug:
#1201288968562552863 message

Not sure what you mean, probably a bug, sloppy devs, muahaha…!

[umbral shell]

It’s happens often for me, might just be an overlay effect but it’s def not a bug

[dull marsh]

If it's not intended by the devs it's a bug tho

[umbral shell]

For sure but what I’m talking about is not a freecam thing. It’s the loading screen for the tournament when you see all the teams

[snow walrus]

Its my bDay may i want a tiny clue 👉 👈 @proud minnow

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message
Rob said this is on the right track, nice!
I was thinking, with OYE and the Y means combine O and E, 'O' could symbolise egg, and 'E' could be 3/5 truths, 3 points of E maybe

Or another 'O' and 'E' thing needs to be combined

[umbral shell]

I was thinking it’s whatever o symbolizes + E or “iii”

[hasty anvil]

could be 03 then

fits Cac03 password

[loud stream]

its not mirrored from the front lmao

yeah haha

[loud stream]

(m new to this can someone fill me in on why people think mirror is a truth

[sand crest]

vvv.png holding a mirror.. and we keep seeing this pattern of latin + mirrors

[loud stream]

gold?

mirror?

[silk wolf]

Hmmm

[dull marsh]

Seems written 17w and 9w... 17...

[hasty anvil]

Mirror + Latin was eyed

[sand crest]

yes, that caught my attention.. but it could just be a coincidence..

[loud stream]

so we know the truths are
egg
gold
latin
mirror
(?)

[unkempt dune]

space is the other one

[loud stream]

space like star or space like the key (or both?)

[hasty anvil]

and space, but unsure if truths or something else, we dont know reason for eyes yet

[median island]

space

[loud stream]

didnt rob say level 3 should be a breeze 😅

Medieval Migraine seems interesting to me. The stars are 6-pointed stars instead of the typical 5-pointed stars. I'm wondering if there's a specific reason behind that

maybe another clue for G=6?

[hard forge]

[unkempt dune]

have a link?

i 100% see something, looks like maybe the decoding imethod isnt exactly right

[turbid tinsel]

i do not, the original post didnt mention the name or spell it correctly

[turbid tinsel]

#easter-eggs message

[unkempt dune]

so it was eyed that it is related to constellations

but nobody knows how yet, correct?

[turbid tinsel]

not yet

but theory is there is another star possibly behind his head, but it could be related to more than just the stars in the halo since his outfit and hand gestures are out of the ordinary as well

Buuut after looking up possible 5 star constellations, it went right back to cassiopeia on first google search.

i dont wanna go down that hole even though we got nothing from eta cassiopeia

[loud stream]

what if we arnt looking for modern constellations but older roman ones?

lyra?

[turbid tinsel]

do we thing Tycho Brahe is relevant?

[loud stream]

maybe we want to find a symetrical constellation (mirror)

[unkempt dune]

found this picture funny because of the duck

reminds me of the one from monaco

[unkempt dune]

another interesting thing to point out is the hands

I wonder if there's a reason behind one being closes and one being open

maybe the shape of his body is the constellation

it'd probably look something like that if his body was a constellation

[unique spruce]

goldhenegg, goldgooseegg

[loud stream]

what if you just use the hand feet and head

[turbid tinsel]

hands/arms would be similar to Cassiopeia

[unique spruce]

orrr maybe we just need to find the damn value of L and D

[unique spruce]

o for gold, e for egg

y for.. yolk?

y = ld?

vi0y3vivi

[unkempt dune]

the torso and head could be done a few different ways

the way his head is facing could be relevant

[loud stream]

no too complicated imo

the simpler it is the more likely it lines up

[unkempt dune]

this looks like him a little bit if you don't use the head and have a block torso:

[loud stream]

that is just a generic body tho

[unkempt dune]

point being is that there are constellations that can look like a human

the one above is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_(constellation)

[unique spruce]

O3 is ozone, trioxygen

[unborn pilot]

I think it’s based off this originally

[unkempt dune]

the legs and head are similar

the nose from that piece of artwork is also similar

at least in shape

[unborn pilot]

Legs especially. But yeah also the way they both look like they’re falling.

[turbid tinsel]

what part of this is cassiopeia? based on her name showing again top right

the sword/arm?

[unborn pilot]

I this it’s Medusa and that shows the bordering Cassiopeiea

Or Perseus

[loud stream]

its perseus

medusais just the hea

[unkempt dune]

the left arm in this one is more outwards

it's up to artistic interpretation for stuff like this

[unique spruce]

Y2O3, ytttrium oxide

[unkempt dune]

his right hand could be closed to symbolize gripping a sword

[unborn pilot]

Btw that book of drawings it’s based off has “mirror” in it

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urania's_Mirror

[loud stream]

unrelated

[spice lark]

So if y = 6, then perhaps to get to gold we would need x = 11 which might mean S = 11 since x = S?

[loud stream]

what is this reffering to?

[spice lark]

Just brainstorming outloud...

In this tier we have been told that
g = 6
e = 3
o = 0

So perhaps then s = 11 if we want to land on gold.

Also, another thought, if E symbolizes S and we know e is 3 and S = X then we might land on Y = 6, X = 3 which would be Lutetium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutetium

[loud stream]

wait why if s=11 do we get gold

Au is Gold which is on the y = 6 and x = 11 slots if you cross them

[hard current]

instead could it be:

Oxygen
Yttrium
Einsteinum?

yo @eternal violet been thinking
on the image you sent that rob commented on

what if instead of "go egg"
it's the 5 truths that it took to get to gold/egg

so there are 2 things true for gold/egg and 3 things true for gold/egg

next step would be to identify those 5 things, and separate them into gold/egg, what lead us to each?

[turbid tinsel]

is it possible our answer is in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanthanum since its one of the only elements with an X on the pte chart we got that hasnt been touched on that contains a 5 and a 7?

[full token]

I was just looking at this too lol (not as an answer, but just in general for the same reason)

[turbid tinsel]

Lanthanum monoxide (LaO) produces strong absorption bands in some stellar spectra.[17]

used in Astronomical spectroscopy

and also mentions xenon on its page

another element i do not think we used

also another element crossed off on the chart but with a black x would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassium

on its page, maybe this is where the 1+2+3+5 somewhat comes into play? a stretch but something to think about

hassium was also apart of a controversy (reminded me of Jocelyn bell) in regards to it getting its name and identification during the Transfermium Wars

[lapis moat]

Worth noting this sticker was available in alpha and when I did a side-by-side they look the same to me, so if it is a clue it's an old one

[turbid tinsel]

guys what if we just needed the word "and"in latin

https://www.dinordbok.no/en/english-latin/?q=and

ab ovo was eyed

maybe we tunneled to hard on ovo rather than ab

what if it wasnt golden egg but just gold"and"egg

gold+and sounds like golden

[brisk hearth]

DEWWW ITT!!!

take us out of our misery

The ampersand, also known as the and sign, is the logogram &, representing the conjunction "and". It originated as a ligature of the letters et—Latin for "and".

aur3m3t0v0

[turbid tinsel]

its aurum

or aureus based on this page

[brisk hearth]

also ovo or ovum?

[turbid tinsel]

well abovo together was eyed, but i would assume ovum?

[brisk hearth]

aurumetovum

[turbid tinsel]

also aureus refers to golden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aureus

originally valued at 25 pure silver denarii, could be related to all the 25's i had been seeing in the artworks

[silk wolf]

I wonder how much more music theory plays in

In Bb Major, F being the V and G being the vi

[unique spruce]

ab ovo means from the egg

yolk from the egg

gold from the egg

[loud stream]

ovo is a palindrome

[turbid tinsel]

also came across the Argyle Library Egg made by a paul

Paying homage to Faberge's tradition of hiding a "surprise" inside each of his eggs, the Argyle Library Egg was designed to open and reveal a rotating miniature library and portrait gallery.

based on the egg made for the Russian tsars

russia or russia federation colors are red and blue

[loud stream]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_(Fabergé_egg)

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

this guy

really liked making golden eggs

first egg was a golden egg

last egg was a constellation egg

[unique spruce]

weve revisited faberge eggs so many times, not 1 eye

maybe was too obvious of a path to set up for the ee

[loud stream]

even if not its still really funny that this dude made 52 golden eggs

https://stellarium-web.org/

for various constellation things

5 stars

golden

[turbid tinsel]

dorado

el dorado

but feeling like a stretch

[loud stream]

dorado also can just mean golden

[turbid tinsel]

but spanish isnt a truth

so idk if id dive to hard

[loud stream]

i mean its techinaclly latin then

lol

is the issue with the vegas constellation that its hard to see or hard to identify?

maybe its not about the constellation

but the whole thing

you can use the location of the stars to get a time of year

since we know where it is

and we know the year

techincally

[coarse dagger]

Nice, I hadn't seen the source yet but the images kept coming up!

[coarse dagger]

Looks like he's doing the ILY sign with one hand and shaka with the other?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILY_sign
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaka_sign

[coarse dagger]

Just a high level thought I was surprised to find no one had commented, not convinced but wondering if it might get 👀:
"White rabbits are the key"

[south wyvern]

@coarse dagger Did you know that 'hand' shape from Shaka sign is actually letter 'Y' (as in ASL)

[coarse dagger]

Good call. I had read that on the wiki, but didn't ponder it.

[turbid tinsel]

https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2017/05/a-mirrored-golden-egg-sauna-is-hatched-in-sweden/

dont think ive seen this mentioned

kinda out of ideas, but it had a wood interior and i remembered we got the guybrush threepwood reference and maybe pwood stands for the pinewood interior

ill also throw out some other things here, Solar Egg was recognized with Red Dot awards

red dot weve gotten before was the first image on the holtow website

made by the "duo" or let me stretch to "binary" artists

Bigert & Bergström

we also got paul klee who was an artist on the holtow site after pulling his signature

[loud stream]

wow the contrast is bad

[lapis moat]

this place 100% looks like the architecture in the background of the new lore intro

[loud stream]

at 45 degree fov

[silk wolf]

There’s pink flamingos above the maps sometimes maybe that has something to do with Latin lol

[alpine junco]

Im saying the roof top bar with the golden flamingos is a hint to the golden egg on las vegas

[loud stream]

this is the best fit i could get

WAITT

you see it

omg

its def a fit

thats perseus foot

[solid jay]

Isn't that Cygnus?

the swan?

[loud stream]

its too small

this is sigus

although it could be i guess?

though actually signus does appear in the sky

[coarse dagger]

I'm going to need to be hit with some compelling composite overlays to be convinced we've matched the night sky in game to IRL.

[loud stream]

in a very simillar location

[loud stream]

they arnt matching the whole sky tho

but yeah

if i had to guess the night sky is almost entirely random

but we know that there is at least one constellation

[eternal violet]

Yea that could be true. I am now thinking about that 32x546 image rob posted, which clearly indicates answers CB EDF and already separates them into gold/egg groups. Also that "isn't it beautiful" comment when you posted all the answers with numbers in december I think.

So it might be combining answers/numbers they represent, or taking the truths from those answers and applying to gold/egg.

[solid jay]

I've looked at Cygnus pretty extensively. Never got eyes on anything.

[loud stream]

would it be against the rules to look at the render passes made to my gcard to get a better night sky?

[alpine junco]

I dont think so

[solid jay]

I think the only thing frowned upon is brute force and AI automation

OH HEY

[alpine junco]

Yoyo

[solid jay]

https://tenor.com/view/power-rangers-red-ranger-pose-posing-gif-8941922

[alpine junco]

Hell yeah

[loud stream]

?

oh hey

your red now

[solid jay]

I just leveled up to red

[alpine junco]

I did yesterday i think

[solid jay]

nice

[alpine junco]

And looking at the game files

If you know how to get the encryption key

The park fountain on monaco where the indestructible lover statue is is oddly shaped. It reminds me of some battlefield easter egg where you have to stand in a specific spot to trigger an event

And it is also where the 3 headed monkey was teased in one of the videos

[solid jay]

Ya very odd that it is indestructible.

[alpine junco]

And the only statue you cant destroy

No matter how many explosives you throw at it

[solid jay]

True love cannot be destroyed 🥲

[fresh quiver]

thats correct.
But rob don't said the constellation must be up in the sky.

He just said, we know it when we see it

[loud stream]

thats a good point...

[alpine junco]

@coarse dagger theres a video from Embark demonstrating how smokes can extinguish pyro grenades and in the background a 3 headed monkey walks by

It’s on the finals twitter

[fresh quiver]

dunno why everyone is just looking at the stars for that. a constellation could be almost anything.
Searched the map myself and didnt found anything.
But it must be somewhere

[solid jay]

Should really look at the slot machines and ceilings of some of the casinos

[loud stream]

what about from above? i know there are some big circles on the map

[alpine junco]

Next to the statue

[fresh quiver]

i would cry. if rob didnt meant especially ingame but within a image ._.

[alpine junco]

He meant in game

But whats weird is they worded finding it as if you can do it solo

[alpine junco]

Yeah

[loud stream]

how can you tell what that is

[fresh quiver]

the tip is just sponsored by Ospuze & Iseul-T
no holtow

[alpine junco]

Its a ss from the video

Monkey noises play

[verbal minnow]

Anyone notice the weird noises at the end of every video posted on the finals channel

https://youtu.be/KE6YiLpmb0k?si=r6utOzJsvrHFEmpK

[loud stream]

#🎓┇eggcademy message

thats a player

im sorry to tell you

thats 100% a player

[verbal minnow]

I mean the high pitched ones

[loud stream]

thats not a three headed monkey

its even more obvious when you watch the vid

[alpine junco]

There is a monkey

And a player

Sure it’s not 3 headed

[loud stream]

wheres the monkey

[alpine junco]

Its scurries behind the statue

And hides

Why is it waddling sideways tho

[loud stream]

i watched it frame by frame wtf are you talking about

[alpine junco]

The static?

[alpine junco]

Dude i swear theres a longer video with monkey noises

Nvm

[turbid tinsel]

its a player

i can give you a screenshot if you need it

[alpine junco]

The angle makes it looks like a monkey

Lol

[verbal minnow]

No

In the longer videos it's longer

Sounds like a cartoon laser gun

[fresh quiver]

so monkeys and laserguns are now the same?
don't tell that rob

[unkempt dune]

the only thing in vegas that reminds me of a constellation is the argon sphere

[verbal minnow]

What?

[turbid tinsel]

dead end, unless theres something to the one pattern but it repeats itself across the globe

[alpine junco]

One pattern repeating?

Line that up with constellations

[loud stream]

aww i cant check the gpu with nsight calls because anti-cheat prevents it

😦

cant catch cheaters but can catch people literally just monitering graphics calls

cool

[unkempt dune]

I don't remember this at all

the we'll know it when we see it part

[plucky kettle]

you arnt really allowed to do this anyway

[unkempt dune]

that may be true for the answer for the tier, but I never heard him say that for the constellation stuff on vegas

[loud stream]

#easter-eggs message

[unkempt dune]

he didn't say anything about we'll know it when we see it

in that message

[loud stream]

the "i wonder where the best place to find a constellation in Vegas is" makes me think its not in the sky though

wait

hear me out

the map is

Las Vegas

the map isnt Vegas

Vegas is a star

wait no thats vega

[solid jay]

I literally googled stargazing las vegas came up with this
https://travelnevada.com/ghost-town/rhyolite-ghost-town/

a stretch but the Rh stood out

There is also a casino/hotel called the stagecoach that has a similar design to Eastwood

[loud stream]

#easter-eggs message

this is also intersting

[solid jay]

Rhyolite is the most silica rich volcanic rock.

[loud stream]

so is like

every rock

lol

[solid jay]

sorry allow me to correct myself

the most

[loud stream]

ah ook

but tbf the clue is to find the constellation not to find where it might be lol

[solid jay]

Might lead you to the best place to find it though

[fresh quiver]

then i misremembered that

[solid jay]

also discovery of high grade gold ore in 1904 in Rhyolite

[loud stream]

i slowed down the moon video to 30%

it doesnt flash on then off

it looks like two ffast concurrent flashes

oh the fps decreased when i downloaded i think

[coarse dagger]

We've had this conversation before, It's still just the player who threw the pyro nade. Not to mention the fact that it only has one head.

Check it out in #🎓┇eggcademy message

[loud stream]

almost like heart beat

look at 0:32

looks like there are two different kinds of pulse?

baconian?

esp cause the pulses are of length

4 then 8 then 32

[alpine junco]

yeah i saw, dont know why i thought it was a monkey

[loud stream]

nope the first set of pulses all use two the second set use one the third set use 2

[alpine junco]

4,9,2,1, ????

2 flashes like 50 times but who knows

[solid jay]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquacade_(satellite)
a link to space

[loud stream]

4 9 50

not like 50

actually 50

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message
You picked up what someone else said without properly analyzing it.

They were finding a new "Three headed monkey" every few hours a while back, despite the lack of three heads or monkey appearance.

[loud stream]

but theres different types of flashes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_lunar_phenomenon#:~:text=A transient lunar phenomenon (TLP,Lunar%20Events%2C%20published%20in%201968.

[fallen jasper]

He's trolling

[alpine junco]

no i am not

[dawn coral]

it looks like someone strafing, facing the camera holding throw knives.

rewatch it now i've said that

[loud stream]

Interestingly the flashes seem to be coming from exactly 0,0

[rugged lotus]

Anytime I want to star gaze here I have to go out to Hoover damn area or something. The light pollution kills any in town.
We do have observatories outside of town too tho. Did a semester of astronomy out here lol

[rugged lotus]

This looked like a play on the sphere that does constellations inside of Resort World Casino. But that is on the strip and the Vegas map is inspired by Fremont Street.

[loud stream]

lol I don’t think it’s referring to actual stars

Though where would you find stars (the other kind) in Vegas

[fallen jasper]

Lad it's clearly not a goddamn three headed monkey

[rugged lotus]

In the casinos here

Or playing on the stage when down on Fremont. Live bands play there all the time, saw Chevelle there a couple years back

[loud stream]

That might be interesting to look at. Hav stuff to test tommorow

[rugged lotus]

Yes if anyone needs questions about Vegas IRL just @ me

And the real stars thing was I saw a like a few yo since they posted stargazing Vegas

There is also a an observation place on top of the Strat but the Strat isn’t in the game

[rugged lotus]

I think that’s based on The Pioneer Club with Vegas Vic

[fallen jasper]

Guys, chill.

Hermes Trismegistus —> the hermetic text “Emerald Tablet” —> from which the famous phrase “as above, so below” originates —> possibly hints at a vertical mirroring of the password
🤷‍♀️just making connections

[quaint wing]

It's starting to sound like mirroring is becoming an integral part in the password!

[fallen jasper]

[opaque thistle]

damn muvs been cookin

[sand crest]

Hasn’t that been the case since December? Rob eyed Latin (AND/+) mirrors iirc

Speaking of Rob, where is he? ._. And why is only fake Rob online all the time

[quaint wing]

Rob's always lurking!

[sand crest]

Not this time, only Rib

[quaint wing]

I also meant that the encryption method looks to include mirroring. I'm seeing some nice theories that look like they would work well! I'm hoping someone cracks this before S2 starts

[fresh quiver]

always fun when dusty remembers rob to go to bed 😂😅

[turbid tinsel]

i swear there is hidden messages behind everything in the last lore video

[fallen jasper]

Hey I'm all of y'all's foremen. If this shit ain't solved by S2 Im gonna have to send my boys around to slap you silly and call you Willy rip up your Lego collection, send your ass to the gulag, force you to eat liver and spend the rest of your days watching surgeries.

THIS BETTER MOTIVATE Y'ALL

I got word from.robbo

He said if y'all don't release this password soon enough he'll have all of y'all cleaning Embark's toilets for the next year
Community service

[fresh quiver]

thats okay.
atleast we have reached the inner security perimeter then 😄

[turbid tinsel]

some of the glitch going into rnd 2, it was acting weird and was only able to get the camera moving after spamming keys but then i had to like click and drag to get spectator came to turn around. also my controls were reversed until like the last 10 seconds using the cam

[fallen jasper]

[velvet narwhal]

Wtf happened there...
Does an event exist where multiple Orbital Strikes drop at once like in 1:02 (This makes me want to have it as an ability like in Helldivers...)
Was the switching between heavy and medium because you spammed keys?

This is so weird.

I think this is actually an unintended glitch. But we can't be sure on that.

[hearty meteor]

bold of you to assume i wasnt born in the gulag

[turbid tinsel]

i think it was because the match eded with even still going on

i just had another where my cam was under the map,

idk if the recording went through though

[rain comet]

You go into freecam when you die during the qualified screen

[turbid tinsel]

usually you dont go back in the game period

idk if ill make it to round 3 here though, playing against top 3 ranked team

[sand crest]

I mentioned this 1-2 days ago. You can just spam keys in between rounds in tournament matches and you’ll get the spectator mode for about a minute or less

[turbid tinsel]

ahh

it just put me in though

i didnt spam to put me in at the end match screen

[sand crest]

Sometimes it happens on its own when you die at the end of the round. You can force it though on every single round

[rain comet]

Sometimes you gotta overstim yourself to get out of the loop

[sand crest]

yeah, to gain the ability to see beyond the waiting screen walls

[rain comet]

Mikaeli you hit metal 17 times

You won this photograph of a car

but property is theft

[velvet narwhal]

I think it would be good if someone were to post this on https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1201841543926005810. I think that this is an actual bug

[turbid tinsel]

Can do. It's just hard to decide what's a bug and what's CNS blessing us

[velvet narwhal]

yeah...

[sand crest]

there's an IG account named like that.. and there's Mikaeli lore

[rain comet]

obv i referenced that one lmao

[sand crest]

no way! it has like 86 posts so far (sorry for off topic - I also wanted to post Mikaeli cause of the "hit metal <17> times")

EE hunters are like Mikaeli. We're trapped inside a loop and we have yet to find a way out of it

[fresh quiver]

when it would be named "Kevin Simpson" i would trust that account to 100% directly 😄

[sand crest]

I think I have found a way to destroy the indestructible statue in Monaco.. maybe that's part of one of the in-game EEs

The crane's wrecking ball has weird physics which can destroy parts of walls/floors that normal explosives can't destroy. It can be detached from the crane and moved with the goo gun. Anyone wanna try this theory if they get a chance?

[dull marsh]

That's actually pretty interesting!

I'm curious to see if you can destroy other indestructible walls, which might reveal some graffitis 👀

[alpine junco]

Does placing turrets and aps still bug out the crane ball?

[austere palm]

I'm pretty sure it's a bug, you can break some foundations of buildings and it makes for some pretty weird cheese spots where you can sit under a building with the cashbox, it's defo possible that there is ee in spots like that but bc it's not intended I have no confidence in it

It also let's you shoot through the ground but nobody can shoot you

[quaint wing]

I have a theory that came to me in a dream.

The bolded letters in the og patch notes is what we need, we just need to put them together properly

I'll follow up with my thoughts when I'm actually awake for the day. If it works for someone, perfect. Back to Sleep hunters

[fresh quiver]

you mean goldenegg? absolutely!

[quaint wing]

There was extra bolded letters. Mobile won't let me view threads, but I'm almost positive there was more letters than just goldenegg

[plucky kettle]

you can in vegas aswell with dash ability in light under the car park down bridge thing

[fresh quiver]

your right.

#easter-eggs message
all bolded letters in Patch Notes: o L i ng g e e d

so we have GoLdeneg with an Leftover i

it's 1.2.0 right?

yup

[snow walrus]

that leftover was fixed later

it's goldenegg

did we found all of the rabbits?

[bronze wolf]

still 1 hiding i believe

[ancient otter]

where is the fourth

[fresh quiver]

just looked for the first occuring message with these. But good to know.

[bronze wolf]

been outta the loop the past few days

are the last rob eyes the geocache comment and about the rat/rabbit eggs?

[plucky kettle]

also on that theory, has to be something as here only the "ng" is only bold here

again here

[unkempt dune]

watching through the season 1 trailer again and it got me wondering

what part of Monaco has a chair and painting like this?

no where
