[fallen jasper]

It's cool it was a good idea

[bronze wolf]

go grab some of the patio chairs and do the same thing

[fallen jasper]

Hmm yeah

[bronze wolf]

its mega obvious when i did that

[fallen jasper]

I'll go back there me self idk if there's anything interesting tbh

[hard forge]

I appreciate your efforts.

what can I do when I have someone like this on my team.

[gaunt kiln]

So, my good friend who you could hear in my video has converted tion.jpg to audio. Another fun thing you can do with the files.

That 12 lines of crosses I mentioned earlier?

https://imgur.com/a/M6EXfWj

It's even present in the wavform

Incredibly odd circumstances I'm sure.

But that feels like, so so so specific.

[quasi spire]

we could definitely try to all queue in together just to see what happens

[torpid jackal]

Has anyone looked into the Making Finals Episode 2 video? at the end the video has some glitch effects that are highlighitng the black ballerina girl's (I forgot her name) neck, chest and wing.

I can't post photos here

[unkempt dune]

nothing out of the ordinary with the ending of that video

was looking more into petscii and the c64 and read this:

PETSCII also has a "shifted" mode (also called "business mode"), which changes the uppercase letters at 0x41–0x5A to lowercase, and changes the graphics at 0xC1–0xDA to uppercase letters. Upper- and lower-case are swapped from where ASCII has them. The mode is toggled by holding one of the SHIFT keys and then pressing and releasing the Commodore key.

[hazy prairie]

late to respond to this but did you try orbital laser? i was playing recently and saw an orbital take out a statue, dont think it was the same one though

[unkempt dune]

didn't try an orbital laser, but I'm going to assume it'd be less effective than the method I tried

[hazy prairie]

fair lol, what statue were you trying to destroy? i can try to test tonight while playing

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

Mojibake (Japanese: 文字化け; IPA: [mod͡ʑibake], "character transformation") is the garbled or gibberish text that is the result of text being decoded using an unintended character encoding.

(credit to @tulip matrix for this knowledge: #easter-eggs message)

[gaunt kiln]

Ah, that explains it.

Thank you!

[unkempt dune]

here's what the shifted mode looks like

essentially makes everything lowercase

[hard current]

ah thank you I couldn’t remember what the name of that was

[grand panther]

probably it only appears when you are stealing someone’s cash out

it could be that simple

[coarse dagger]

Me neither

japanese resulting from converting an image to text wikipedia
🤣

I had misremembered and Japanese was only because that's the language the word is from

[unkempt dune]

out of everything I've heard so far, I think that situations fits the best for something like "look! a three headed monkey!"

sort of happens all the time when I'm stealing one already

except it's "look! a dude wants to kill you!"

[hard current]

I literally searched this exact thing only typed “korean”

[pure loom]

I found this when searching for "Nd:YAG_laser" & "geocache" - possibly not related, but this is such a cool geocache idea using lasers it's worth sharing (and involves letterboxing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPWvNQkjB08

[turbid tinsel]

that switch on the left looks similar to the knobs on the generators

[pure loom]

It does!

Makes me think that maybe Rob has made a virtual geocache in game. That would be super cool

isnt there a secret vault in vegas

has anyone got the glitches in game where after a round, youre under the map. wanna see if i can camera zoom to that location in vegas

[unkempt dune]

looked more into the background of #1204573219894468648 message

[unkempt dune]

so if 70.68.71.67.72 is for SYS 64738, that'd mean - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 isn't related (at least from this)

[ancient mist]

Yesterday i was thinking about latebra. Rob mentioned geocache is still important. Cache~hideout~latebra(latin). latebra is in the middle of the yolk. latebra is spaces the yolk with th egg white. it is connectected to the germ disc (mirrors ars also disks). So latebra would connect: latin/mirror (or space?)/egg. Then gold and space (or mirror?) are missing. Satellites wrapped in foil (especially JWST) appear golden and map earth - geo.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latebra

[unkempt dune]

you know, maybe VVV is a hint for this since it leads to vvv

[full token]

Wow I like this a lot tbh. I was looking into JWST earlier/yesterday actually. I didn't know that about latebra being the middle of the yolk.

I found a game that was on the C64 and Amiga. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuckie_Egg

The goal of the game is to collect 12 eggs in each level and the eggs look golden:

the alpha bit planes from THE_FINALS_HappyNamaTama.png look like this:

[unkempt dune]

just finished looking through all of the alpha bit planes of the transparent nama tamas and this is the only one that has something it looks like

[turbid tinsel]

that seemingly ringlike background is in alot of the images

some are altered though or like glitched

[turbid tinsel]

#official-art message and the 2 before it

[unkempt dune]

what about them?

[turbid tinsel]

i was just telling you that ring like background you showed in the nama images is in a few other actual artworks

[full token]

Ayo

[unborn pilot]

015_F, 018_F, 024_VVV all have this. On those you can get the backgrounds on certain planes to line up but I couldn’t find combining them yet.

[unkempt dune]

what's interesting is this nama tama is old

all the way back from 2022

[full token]

I was gonna ask about these numbers in the top right corner of the splash screen, and for the first time just now noticed there was new numbers. After I took the snip, they went back to the usual? (7681 = and 6567 = C64 VIC-II color NTSC // It's also on one of the transformers on Vegas)

(sorry about the quality, I play in 1680x1050 sometimes)

[unborn pilot]

I do think they’re all related

F is 15

Vvv -> 555 -> 5+5+5=15

Qb-> 17-2 = 15

[unkempt dune]

funny how that works out

[unborn pilot]

Last tier everything pointed to 6

So having a bunch of 15s is eye opening to me so far

[unkempt dune]

I'm in the middle of reviewing the nama tamas and man, are there a lot

I don't even know if I have all of them or not

right now I'm just looking for overlooked stuff

[turbid tinsel]

curious if any of the roman Legio's are relevant here

[unborn pilot]

There’s a lot but most relevant ones were in URLs or in official art. I did the same when I started. Great way to catch up and learn (and hopefully find something new)

[eternal violet]

Could Saturn be a truth? Seems like a bunch of clues point to it.

[unkempt dune]

I'm also looking for something particular, but I have no clue if this is the right set of images to use or not

[unborn pilot]

If you have any questions lmk. Ive gone through all of them. It seems like most clues were found, but only around half were ever solved. So there’s still a lot to be connected.

[unborn pilot]

This was found a long time ago and it’s never been used yet it’s so direct saying to “find password” in this format.

[unkempt dune]

looks like YYYY-MM-DD or something like that

[unborn pilot]

Yeah. This dropped start of tier D. But nothing since then required this ever

[unkempt dune]

watch Level 3 have us go back through every dropped image for stuff that was missed

[unborn pilot]

Nah. Rob said we have everything we need. So I assume he believes we found the most important ones

We just haven’t connected them

[unkempt dune]

level 3, not tier 3 😉

[unborn pilot]

Well in that case we’re ready!

[turbid tinsel]

was Phaedrus (fabulist) ever looked into?

nvm he was

[unborn pilot]

I tried a bunch of c64 commands early on but I wonder if part of the password really does resemble one.
GO is in gold and could be vio / 510 or 015 backwards

LVIII could also be included then and spell out Go Level 3

Sadly doesn’t work

[turbid tinsel]

could it be a poke command?

go poke level 3

lol idk

[unborn pilot]

It’s common but we haven’t had clues to “poke”. I was more learning towards commands like LOAD, DEF, GO, GOTO, etc. there’s likely more.

Especially anything with letters from violdevivi

I also found this on Monaco

There's some inscription on the bricks on the roof of the shack

£ V (can't tell whats in the middle and above it) and then a V ?

[unborn pilot]

What’s the inscription? I’m too amused by mirrored bricks to notice

[unborn pilot]

I do see EV II V3 with an X above the II.

But it might just be late and I’m seeing things by now

[full token]

every time i'm in native res, and get monaco, I never get over to that side of the map lmao

It's blurry because i'm in 1680x1050 and like mostly low settings. I have a really outdated pc :/

[unborn pilot]

Yeah you have to launch the game on a 4K monitor to get higher resolution options.

When is shop refresh?

Maybe new skin ee? 😊

[velvet narwhal]

Could be... He did mention that he added clues to upcoming assets #1204475718747029535 message

There is text on top of the fountain in Monaco on the square piece.

Found on practive range.

[limpid crypt]

Do you know which parasol that is?

[vital oar]

gonna copy my message in the Range Roses Thread:

btw some time ago someone posted a white square visible through the umbrellas and the blind right above the door at the outside coffee place. if you zoom into the squares, there are white dots visible which seem to be flashing:

[vital oar]

its both open ones

[limpid crypt]

got it

[vital oar]

okay i just found out it might be just the lighting object they put in, to brighten up the outside area as it might be too dark otherwise. How i found out: with the goo gun. If you manage to get goo into that area, you see that the goo lightens up and the square disappears. The square isn't on the ceiling but rather between the roof of the building and the ceiling

if you look at some of robs messages in OT yep.

he always say "in every channel its possible"

in OT he asked "no EE zone"

And after that he posted within hours 2 different play times he had in The FINALS. One time he said he played 200h. hours later he said he played 400h

[turbid tinsel]

the music video i feel is just related to how the finals credits were made

looks like inspiration

[velvet narwhal]

I can only find where he mentioned 400 #1201288968562552863 message

But i really don't think that there's ee stuff in the ot thread. I think Rob want's to keep it off topic. And I want to keep it off topic too

[fresh quiver]

#1201288968562552863 message

[velvet narwhal]

200 is probably what steam tells him and 400 is with the betas and playtesting etc

[fresh quiver]

even offtopic isnt that much offtopic.
You learn some things. as he studied 3/4 different sciences. But yes. OT should be OT

[snow walrus]

but if anyone find the actual link between the second VM and the actual password... I will send you an unique THE FINALS gift...

no update on this right?

Vitelline Membrane is what i found but couldn't make a connection with Second

[snow walrus]

working on question again.. vertical and horizontal overlays creates X and 8

[unique spruce]

Roman numerals are written from left to right in descending order, but also what if maybe we have to reduce our numerals (combind them)? vi0ld iiivivi > dlviviviiii > dlxxviii

0Y3 could also represent exponentiation. 0Y³. the ascii for the exponent 3 is 0179

[fresh quiver]

it might been already tried as he gave us the 666 clue. (666 uses every roman numeral only once)

But im not sure about it if all variations have been used.

[unique spruce]

0 is 48, y is 121, Y is 89, 3 superscript is 0179, regular 3 is 51

Anders Jonas Ångström, a Swedish physicist, won the 1924 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work investigating the spectrum of light.

The word "laureate" refers to being signified by the laurel wreath, which was awarded to victors in ancient Greece as a sign of honor.

The Gold Egg Award (Guldägget) is Sweden’s oldest and largest communication competition. It started in 1961 and has since then grown and become an ever wider competition that now covers most of what can be called communication.

The award explores the value of creativity in branded communication: from packaging design and digital development to the creative strategy, execution and impact, celebrating new ideas shaping the next wave of creativity.

The purpose is to draw attention to the best advertisement, lead the industry forward and raise the level of the creative standard

1961

[cursive basalt]

i don't know if this helps but i see a ? in the image aswell

[unique spruce]

guldägget > viuldäviviiiit

[acoustic canyon]

The images he's overlaying are pictures of question marks

[timber spindle]

maybe that means that we should use 8 instead of x in the password or the opposite x->8.

[maiden ginkgo]

Has anyone figured out the purpose of the roses in the practice range?

can you join the practice range with another person ?

5 roses are something you gift to someone to express how much you care for them so maybe you gotta pass the roses to someone

[limpid crypt]

Roses are also the symbol of secrets

[vast karma]

Ho guys

[vital oar]

It's a nod to us basement goblins to go outside and buy our mothers some flowers. Jokes aside, not really

[vital oar]

there seems to be a way to clip through the practice range and kill other people. No one showed how though

anyone know if the spectator bug was able to go out of bounds?

[plucky kettle]

this has the mirrores text on it, a box in skyway stadium

the other boxes say 'arena box / type 00', so maybe removing that part would show the other word under it

hehe we don’t look at the source for the sites, out of bounds for our hunt

oh is it mb

[unborn pilot]

Yeah since the hunt started nothing has ever been hidden in the html code so I’m assuming the rule was made to save us from wasting time.

[quasi crater]

well ive looked and nothing lmao

same as js and css

nothing.

[bronze wolf]

someone else stumbled onto the Guldägget, this also caught my eye, especially when I attached it to this fellow: Charles Townes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_H._Townes

• part of the Nobel winning team that invented the MASER/LASER
• pioneered use of Lasers for astronomy and discovered the super massive blackhole at the centre of the milky way

seems to reinforce what we already know, but the connections don't seem accidental

[hasty anvil]

Idk if it's intentional but,
G O L D (with g=6=vi and o=0=null)
VI O L D.
With the way roman numerals work, with L=500 and D=50, you have to do 500-50.
Or +VI - O +L -D
follows a '+ - + -' pattern

think i'm going insane again...

[rain comet]

456?

[hasty anvil]

yeah gold to roman numerals is 456, but 456 to roman numerals is CDLVI so..

[hasty anvil]

'golden' is +6 - 0 +500 - 50 - 3 +/-n = 453 +/-n

[spring thistle]

Has it been mentioned that in the latest lore video, when June says "Just like you, Scotty", it might be related to the game achievement "Just like Scotty" Which requires winning a round without dying.

[marsh marsh]

In off topic chat I mentioned glitches could be part of the lore and it would be cool if something were hidden purposely with a glitch. He replied “only a maniac would do something like that”. And then “since this is off topic you’ll never know if that means anything or not” lol. So do with that what you will but I took that as a confirmation

[snow walrus]

mirrored date may be what we are looking for

so many possibilities 😭

[bronze wolf]

wouldn't surprise me if there's a hidden piece of art or something OoB in the firing range as a nod to some of the older easter eggs

[hearty meteor]

there isnt

i can confirm that

[bronze wolf]

😦

I never played around with the oob stuff, I am le sad

that clip of somebody getting killed in the range is priceless though lol

[hearty meteor]

i really went

Doing oob in a game like the finals is really hard

[maiden ginkgo]

Anyone find anything abt the CNA message in that lil trailer? (The writing is on the wall) or something. Sorry if someone already asked but I’m just interested

I know “Scotty lies” is on Monaco but that’s it

[hasty anvil]

S LIES on Monaco is related to the white rabbits on Seoul

[bronze wolf]

might find something in this thread
https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1209839696729874472

[marsh marsh]

What could be a sort of developer approved glitch? It would have to be something that couldn’t potentially give someone an unfair advantage, but could allow you to access an area otherwise inaccessible. Like in Halo you could hop on a turret placed against a wall and then hop off to go through the wall, or if everyone stacked on top of eachother and jumped you could reach places

8 golden clues for TIER3F

[bronze wolf]

what tier were y'all at or finished when he made that comment?

[snow walrus]

Brown Eyed Girl is T1D

[quaint wing]

That was in 2022. Well before where we currently are

[bronze wolf]

i wonder if it's worth trying to specifically pinpoint what those 8 "golden clues" are

[hasty anvil]

8 clues during and before 1D, so there's probably more after it too

[bronze wolf]

I can interpret it as though the tier can be solved solely with those clues (hard yes, but possible)

[quaint wing]

In theory, everything can be solved with one picture, but it'd be very hard to do so.

Things get easier as time goes on and Rob has to slowly teach us to read properly, lmao

[hasty anvil]

I wonder if the golden clues were latin, gold, egg, mirrored, space or if there's more to it

a few of us went back through tier1 A-C in some threads to look for new things

[quaint wing]

Time will tell. Once we figure out the password, I'm sure we'll get a little overview to help us arrange our brains...Or more cryptic stuff to really get us goin

[hasty anvil]

The only things that stood out to me, was a yellow graph with a '?' on it, and a beethoven signature which i'm unsure was used, but the signature was similar style to Klee

Keep It Simple and Couple images still have some things too

[bronze wolf]

might be worth it to collect the threads we know are still hiding things, cause I have no idea what to try and focus on anymore

[bronze wolf]

what tier/clue was this attached to? wanna check it out cause music related threads are one of the few areas I can help lol

[quaint wing]

I remember having chords on the whiteboard and a couple other music clues that pointed to G=6.

[hasty anvil]

Beethoven was Tier 1B I think, but I think it pointed to sonata 79 as a 79/LXXIX clue, i'll check

Yeah check 1B padlet

[bronze wolf]

awesome, saved me a bunch of digging, much appreciated 🙂

[hasty anvil]

Reading padlet, it went to Piano Sonata 25, so now i'm not sure if it was used

[azure crow]

yo

[bronze wolf]

i think it was piano sonata 25 op 79, 79 being the link

[eternal violet]

so how do we identify if a clue is a golden clue? as far as i understand, that clue shouldnt point to the primary/secondary/tertiary/quaternary clues of that specific tier?

[hasty anvil]

'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'

[hasty anvil]

I'm not sure, I'd guess it would be things with lots of connections, like gold or egg

[snow walrus]

blue red mini pixel mean exclamation mark?

[snow walrus]

is the image source from Twitter? I can't find better res than 1080

can someone post a picture for me?

made a table with the numbers of the past Tiers

Rob eyed two different messages and i kinda combined them

[alpine junco]

sure

[vital oar]

sooo Rob eyed the image where the Egg and Gold Tiers were split into two and also a message from someone who listed all numbers from all tiers

i combined them and also mirrored them

[unkempt dune]

you have no idea how long it took for me to get that nama tamas have egg yolk come out of a crack

I sort of always thought it was their ear or something

[vital oar]

I always thought it's a little arm/hand hahaha

[snow walrus]

After we combine some or all of them make a date maybe

We will solve this tier eventually in any day..hours

[hard forge]

why a date?

haven't seen anything on the padlet and in #easter-eggs about it

but it feels like déjà vu

[bronze wolf]

been down a Van Morrison rabbit hole today, and found something that doesn't look like it ever really got explored all that much, and lets me draw a direct line from VM to Oval

• Lyrics from Brown Eyed Girl: "Making love in the green grass, Behind the stadium with you"

• Article that helped me make connections: https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/music/news/what-inspired-van-morrison-to-write-brown-eyed-girl/28666531.html

• “I'd like to think it's about Belfast and that the stadium he refers to may have been The Oval in east Belfast"

• There is currently a mural of Van Morrison painted at the Oval right now:

cooking up some more interesting stuff, but this one was quite "eye opening"

[bronze wolf]

the more I look into Van Morrison, the more I realize how much he likes ethereal concepts about space and the universe - starting to understand why Rob included him

also just dawned upon me that JBB is also from Belfast... interesting...

[unborn pilot]

my bro noticed these are on here twice, maybe cause < looks like V turned?

[bronze wolf]

i have to say it does remind me of two lil eyes looking left, lol

[pure loom]

we did look at it a little here: #easter-eggs message

Rob confirmed an Oval link here: #easter-eggs message

ahhhh, I missed the actual eyes from Rob on the 2nd message, appreciate the extra info

on 6 there is & #easter-eggs message "AND"

(international keyboard layouts have & on 7)

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

In everyday handwriting, the ampersand is sometimes simplified in design as a large lowercase epsilon Ɛ or a reversed numeral 3, superimposed by a vertical line.

The plus sign + (itself based on an et-ligature[16]) is often informally used in place of an ampersand

"+" #easter-eggs message

[bronze wolf]

#easter-eggs message
@pure loom been kinda stuck on this VM thread, and I think I understand it now - rob's talking about the real connection with mary here I'm guessing

[pure loom]

I think there were multiple links - VM and the Virgin Mary, the Oval one, and Brown Eyed Girl's oval pupil

[bronze wolf]

welp, gonna dig into the unholy (pun intended) amount of religious threads I've ignored til now

[pure loom]

From what I've seen Rob goes pretty light on the religious front just because it could get a bit tricky socially, if that makes sense?

[bronze wolf]

I agree here for sure, I have 2 piles I stick things in: dogmatic pile and historic pile. I try to stick to the history angle. But my rose adventures lead to soooo many mary links and this kinda popped up as I've been working backwards

yep that's what it is

I'm going back through the TIER 1A images because Rob said a while back that there was more hidden in them that may help in future tiers/levels

I'm looking at the padlet and I think something was missed

am I going insane or is that writing on the right side

@pure loom

@coarse dagger

@unborn pilot

it's hidden in the fire

red bitplane 6

[pure loom]

I think it's probably flames, but it does look a bit like writing

[pure loom]

good find

[turbid tinsel]

What image is this?

[hard current]

we got so few images during tier 1A...

there's gotta be something in there

[hard current]

just realized two different versions of this picture were sent in Tier 1A as well

tried comparing with that site, don't see much

I think there's writing hidden in the bottom on one of them..

[loud stream]

subtract?

[hard current]

hey @unkempt dune you think good

give this a whirl

[unkempt dune]

What's that from?

[hard current]

old image

near the bottom right along the edge

afaik, never solved

[rain comet]

whats the image size?

[hard current]

[unkempt dune]

the first thing I'd do is identify which ones are missing

[rain comet]

Im seeing some random pieces of graph. Already found right?

[hard current]

yes everything else in that image has been solved afaik, except maybe the runes in the eyes? not sure if they actually got confirmed what exactly the graph was or not

#easter-eggs message

read below this

[rain comet]

Maybe the graph means that we had to use the skyway whiteboard for later

[unkempt dune]

the other observation is that each color corresponds to a different shape

red: upside-down cross
green: plus looking sign
blue: cross

[hard current]

ignore the colors hehe, those were added for clarity

[unkempt dune]

gotcha

[hard current]

someone (not rob or dusty) added thoes

[hard current]

5 2 1
5 4 1

[unkempt dune]

that could be one way of reading it, although it wouldn't be the first way I'd think of

[hollow mason]

lfg calm tourneys or quick cash

[solid jay]

wrong channel friendo

[unkempt dune]

1 2 4 2 1 5
1 1 1 4 2 2 1 2 1

could be one way of reading it, however, I don't think that'd be right

[solid jay]

I'm like 48 hours behind any promising developments?

[rain comet]

I II IV II I V
I I I IV II II I V I

[unkempt dune]

I say this because you can read it like that with only 2 sets of symbols/characters

[hard current]

some eyes from rob regarding a connection to a command for resetting the commodore 64

[unkempt dune]

but this technically has 4

[solid jay]

word i'll take a peak for that

[rain comet]

Is it possible that these things formed a braile?

Sys 64738?

[unkempt dune]

I wouldn't think so because of the different characters

for braile you'd just need dots

[rain comet]

Kind of strange that there are 6 of each cross/reverse cross and +

and 12 dots

[unkempt dune]

each row has 15 slots and there's two rows

[rain comet]

Lets try applying a binary couple with them
Blue - 11
Green 10
Red 01
Dot - 00

[quasi spire]

whats the green square on the tree?

[unkempt dune]

I do think it's important to look at them from the orientation they came from:

because like this, they can be read different

[hard current]

afaik we never figured that out

[unkempt dune]

reading them like this could be 2 x 15

aka, 15 sets of 2

[solid jay]

Curious if these are meant to represent a punchcard

[quasi spire]

they almost look like a math table

[unkempt dune]

here's a funny thing I ran into

assigning numbers to them as they appear would give you this:
12 33 43 12 12 12 12 44 44 31 33 23 33 33 43

adding those up give you 420 😉

[solid jay]

we've def had 420 come up somewhere else

[quasi spire]

the median for them is 28

which is the same as the sum of sys 64738

[solid jay]

what if you split those numbers up so 1 & 2 and then apply them to the punch card?

[hard current]

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

this could be fun depending on white star line, and other north/star clues we've had

[solid jay]

The link to 420 lol

@unkempt dune I’m going to bed but these images below had a strange pixel color change in the corner and/or lines on them that hint towards the need to overlay or reflect

CB_Couple
Guns & Namas
Keep It Simple

[real atlas]

hello guys how can I have the research history about the easter eggs hunt ? is there any youtube video or any recap ?

[hard current]

#egg-hunt-onboarding :))

[real atlas]

oh thanks i didn't saw x)

[hard current]

CB_Couple

guns and namas (your edited version)

[unkempt dune]

so first thought about all three

Keep It Simple can overlap Guns & Namas and match

[hard current]

i can’t find keep it simple on mobile rn

[hard current]

if you’ve got the skill, try it! I’m terrible with gimp so haven’t pursued it lol

[unkempt dune]

Guns & Namas can be rotated to match the height of Keep It Simple and CB_Couple

[hard current]

that’s what my thinking is regarding the pixels in the corners

at least I think it was these images that had the one off pixel changes

top left iirc but I could be totally wrong

either way, there are images back then that had one pixel changed or other tiny defects that may hint to combining them in some way @pure loom or @coarse dagger would know more probably

[sand rune]

Use Photopea, it’s like a free version of photoshop in den web

@unkempt dune

[unkempt dune]

this is the setup that makes the corner/bottom pixels match up

the pixels from CB_Couple and Guns & Namas are the same

while Keep It Simple has more than the others on the right-hand side

[unkempt dune]

Very interesting that theses are very similar when using this setup:

overlay image is from #easter-eggs message

and to get to this point, you'll need to do some mirroring

at least once

you could technically mirror CB_Couple and keep Guns & Namas the same

and you'd end up with both beta and B. overlapping

[coarse dagger]

Well, they're in the other orientation in Wallpaper_CB_Up_We_Go:
https://thelulzy.github.io/TF-EE-quartz-obsidian-vault/T1E/Wallpaper_CB_Up_We_Go

[unkempt dune]

Pretty sure we're talking about the rob tama one

[coarse dagger]

That's my point. The cross cipher is in both of them

[unkempt dune]

ahh

that's a peculiar case

If it's the same pattern, then my first thought would be to overlap them in some way

[coarse dagger]

It is the same pattern

do we have any ideas on hints from the new assets in the game? like the cosmic "n" comfy set?

Holy shit. they name a set after me.

That's so effin sweeet

the new body paint set i think is where the clue is

ranked, and even if i did i cant post stuff here lol

[velvet narwhal]

Ok.... you could've sent it to me or used an imgur link. Can you describe where on skyway it is?

the event itself is a glitch

The corporations are covering it up as a scripted event.

the simulation is tearing because the event is not supposed to be happening.

[blazing tinsel]

i have seen these tourney screens mentioned a few times- but the glitchy overlay is just feedback on screen that we see when dead & spectating. i want it to be relevant, but that seems to be the determining factor. orbital lasers are the common cause for me

[sharp flame]

OMG

[magic talon]

The glitchy screen doesn't appear when you're dead or in the free cam. It's just crt effect, which is not something I'm talking about

As for orbital laser, i didn't understand how it is related, please elaborate more when you have time

[shut swan]

Moon is changed?

[velvet narwhal]

The cacti on monaco have gun shot holes

[blazing tinsel]

is there documentation of tourney screen glitching? cuz i pretty exclusively play ranked & commonly make the final & haven’t seen anything beyond the crt effect. im saying: the orbital lasers being active on the end of a match will cause the filtering on the tourney screen when it otherwise isn’t there (cuz the lasers keep hitting after the match)

[velvet narwhal]

This is since launch. Happens at a specific time

[shut swan]

Thank you

[magic talon]

On my phone rn and I don't have the images. Prolly someone else can send it to you when they see it. I've seen 2 types of glitches so far... One is the standerd glitch effect at the edges of the bracket/victory screen

The other is same but has a single red flash, and the glitch is more visible

[magic talon]

Are you talking about the red moon itself or something else like shape, positioning etc?

Cuz if it's the blood moon it was always there

[blazing tinsel]

this particular EE has been interesting to me but i just haven’t found anything compelling about it. if you/someone can give me some visual ref, ill keep my eyes more peeled. just haven’t seen much discussion over it nor seen anything that leads me to think it has particularly unique circumstances

[shut swan]

I Thought the pattern on the surface of the moon was created in this update. I think wrong

[magic talon]

Look out for the tournament bracket screen and victory screen. I'll send image when I can

[fresh quiver]

you could read some things about the glitches in #easter-eggs 😅

nvm. thought we were in lore ._.

[hard current]

heads up regarding all this: #1204475718747029535 message

I’ve added clues to upcoming assets in S1 and also in S2… I hope you will solve it before S2, but… I doubt it a little bit, hihi

if there’s a time for clues to be hidden, it’d be now…

[blazing tinsel]

yeah- the common denominator has always been death for anything on screen in those instances- that’s what i was getting at. unless there’s just something else to witness- but i’ll check back in after work. my eyes been on this for as long as it’s cropped up lol

[magic talon]

Nah I gotchu homie, it's all good

[blazing tinsel]

cool :) just glad someone else’s interest was piqued by it. it seems sus because it’d be a simple bug to fix- so i keep hoping something unique will crop up in it or someone here will spy something but it’s yet to happen haha

[magic talon]

You're not wrong considering there's a bug that gases or burns out the bracket screen, but there's one small difference. The bug I've mentioned is only noticable by one person whereas the glitchy screen appears to be visible for all. I've asked all of my teams to check and it was there. It's also becoming more and more frequent atleast from what we've observed. Also no mention of it being a bug while some known bugs on those screens were fixed in the past

As for something yet to happen, just another day here XD

I wasn't recording but after winning the first round of a tourney my team had about 3 seconds of floating underneath the map to look around

This has happened to us twice now, though it was two tourneys in a row last night

The map was Vegas both times, I think night time and dust

[solid jay]

Seems to be happening frequently might be an intended "glitch" but more likey this one is just an actual game engine bug

[hidden tangle]

We didn't really have a chance to look around too much to see if there was something we should've been looking out for

[hidden tangle]

Ah I figured, thought it was odd that it happened twice, though

anything significant won't be out of bounds or found via exploit

just dash and light

It's been that way for weeks #1185727960980922488

[coarse dagger]

The Bias Wrecker billboard isn't new, the CNS hack of it is. It's always been present on Monaco and The Bias Wrecker has always featured a shoe.

[sharp cave]

ok thx !

[tranquil minnow]

Live Stream just started on The Finals YT!

[daring bluff]

this is just the bottom of the word “wrecker” i believe

[coarse dagger]

You're right!

[mystic storm]

Gives me Metal Gear Solid vibes

[coarse dagger]

YEAR OF THE HORSE!

Year of the (hobby) horse!

YOU HEARD THE MAN

[snow walrus]

LETS GO CHECK EM

[proven gazelle]

OMG.

ROB JUST GOT SPAMMED ON MAIN CHAT

[runic furnace]

Yea it was for a teeshirt

[proven gazelle]

yeah, i'm watching.

[mossy garnet]

Test

[proven gazelle]

was waiting for him to get on and give a hint.

he said the glitches are a patern

[jade cradle]

Any theories about the glitch clusters?

[proven gazelle]

rob just said on live stream that they are a pattern.

[jade cradle]

Interesting. I love this so much lol

[coarse dagger]

Wait, Rob's on the stream?

[hasty anvil]

he said investigate the glitches there might be a pattern there

only thing that was really mentioned by him in the stream

[carmine imp]

[vapid holly]

Yep, it says: “CNS” and “YOU READY?”

[fresh quiver]

i can can quote rob again

"you need to play more then just searching outside" 😄

[coarse dagger]

Different glitches. See #1212747235578609795

[snow walrus]

locations are important as rob said

[magic talon]

We've found clusters of glitches in the new mode.

Also, not exactly what we talking about but #easter-eggs message

[vapid holly]

Yeah, I think I’ve had something like that during a cashout in Las Vegas yesterday. It stopped right when the cashout was over. Idk if this is the same thing

Can anyone read Oscar’s lips when he said the crazy thing about season 2

?

Bruh

He did it again

But it’s so hard to understand

[inner heart]

saw this when playing ranked

[coarse dagger]

#1212747235578609795

[unique spruce]

The process of painting gold onto something is called gilding

deauratum

[coarse dagger]

Anyone else keep seeing corpses?

[plucky kettle]

damn

thats cool

CNS has hacked the show lol

this seems to have a glitch effect too

[dawn coral]

reminds me of Haze on playstation back in the day...what if we're looking at some similar sorta stuff?

we leave the VR space and the place is just covered in body parts....turns out the coins we turn people into is bloodspatter lol

[dull gorge]

all those map glitches are on corners, have grids, and have glitches leaking out. anyone tried lining them up on the grids ?

[dawn coral]

i believe the plan is to plot them onto a map similar to the WR map.

[gloomy anvil]

to make a sort of 3D object you mean?

[dull gorge]

yeah or maybe a message

[plucky kettle]

already have been done

[unkempt dune]

buggy tree in a corner of monaco

[coarse dagger]

@crisp glen and @alpine whale would you like to explain your reactions?

[plucky kettle]

thats called bad gpu

[snow walrus]

i think we should save cashout locations @coarse dagger

[coarse dagger]

We can start on Monaco and Seoul. Would be very hard without map overviews for the other 2

[snow walrus]

in the event especially

[hard forge]

I just updated the game

[unborn pilot]

51 appears again.

[unkempt dune]

you know, the glitches could be an elaborate way of saying L

only appeared right before season 2 starts

I guess we need to take them

[gloomy anvil]

Did anybody log the names & descriptions of the event items? I'll be on in an hour and can do so then.

for the T3 clues

[proper kindle]

Anybody seen this?

[snow walrus]

#1212747235578609795

that one is the most common glitch location i think

or easiest one to see

[proper kindle]

Probably it’s the shack in park

[terse flint]

how far along are we

[proper kindle]

Is this not a direct reference to Area 51 tho?

[dawn coral]

has anyone who was investigating the constellations on Vegas blown the roof off of the vault where the X is on the spray? maybe Rob was showing us exactly where we need to be stood to locate the constellation?

[unborn pilot]

Directly yeah. Indirectly It’s been in 15 51 a bunch

[gloomy geyser]

WE'RE BEING HACKED!

[proper kindle]

That’s really smart thinking I don’t think anyone has tried that yet but it makes sense towards the wording he used

[terse flint]

thought cns was a sponsor

[unborn pilot]

Portions of a barcode in this frame from the video in each half

[fallen jasper]

Is that what takes place of statues after people get wiped now?

[velvet narwhal]

nope they hack the finals

[velvet thicket]

did u guys see the screens on Monaco have changed blue and state The Bias Wrecker

[gloomy anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/fnaf-purple-guy-peepaw-gif-24730406

[terse flint]

are they some kind of syndicate ?

[velvet narwhal]

We don't know. They could even be an AI

[velvet thicket]

they could be us

[dull marsh]

But at least now we got a mode to look for graffitis!\

[bronze wolf]

and a nice long respawn camera time too 🙂

[dawn coral]

i don't know enough about Astronomy to even know what to look for, even if i went and levelled vegas now 😆

[dull marsh]

I was investigating and we didn't do that, I legit don't really believe that it was about a constellation in the sky
That or yeah you need to be in a specific location to have it appear

[bronze wolf]

high level thought, but im curious if the glitches are trying to help us find missing graffiti

[dull marsh]

Yeah, the fact that one is right next to it is suspicious to say the least

[quasi prism]

What is this channel..

[bronze wolf]

ya, that one beside the SR graffiti in monaco made me very curious

[runic furnace]

This explains it #egg-hunt-onboarding

[hard current]

we don’t really look in the files

[shell barn]

alright

[fresh quiver]

did you already took a look at #egg-hunt-onboarding ?

"No posting of Easter Egg related info that has come from data mining of THE FINALS, or from THE FINALS websites."

[shell barn]

alright sorry

Saw people posting it before

thats why I was confused

[hard current]

nah no worries

we generally stray away from AI, looking at files, and looking at website code

[snow walrus]

extended ascii has become my nightmare

[alpine junco]

Also AI doesnt always give the right answer

Try and use it on something found and solved and itll give something way different

[snow walrus]

thats why we dont use it

[small marlin]

It will be funny if by the end of the season these white cubes cry at a breakneck speed to absorb the maps, changing their landscape lol

[alpine junco]

Ugh time for me to count them again

The white cubes take over the map

[small marlin]

Fortnite cube event lol

[snow walrus]

voxels

[alpine junco]

Ends like this

ends like these

[jagged ore]

I didn't realize it fast enough to screenshot it but at least in smoking guns some of the screens on buildings say "hacked by cns"

[runic furnace]

When was the last tier solve?

[bronze wolf]

100+ days ago

[fresh quiver]

tier 3 is going on since 17th november 2023

[plush geyser]

found this in the final round. tf...

[fresh quiver]

#1212747235578609795

[runic furnace]

Okay

[broken bronze]

final round ranked?

[plush geyser]

yes

[fast crescent]

Im not allowed to post in the new glitch thread yet, but looking at the location of the Vegas glitches, the lay-out seems to resemble part of a constellation. Maybe if we find all they make a constellation together?

[plush geyser]

wanna send the image in my DM and i'll post it here??

or in the thread i mean

[fast crescent]

It's already been posted in the thread I think, that's how I noticed it

[plush geyser]

fairs

[dull marsh]

To be fair as soon as you start having 3+ points on a plane it will feel like a constellation of some sort

[fast crescent]

About 2 hours ago

Yeah but we ran into constellations before right? It could be the pattern, idk im just throwing out a suggestion

[dull marsh]

Yup, but from what I understand it might only have been about Vegas

But I might be wrong on that

[fast crescent]

This is fair reasoning though

[vital oar]

Based on the chat history nothing has been found in the two new videos?

[fast crescent]

Found that the ads in the new game mode have CNS on them

Is this known?

[south wyvern]

The link to be here > https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1030384232528367657

[turbid tinsel]

is it possible with the stuff on the new hoody we got that maybe we are looking for a rock star or something with a play on words?

unless it being devil horns we are looking for a star/asteroid that falls under 666 or something

[south wyvern]

Yeah, the rock n roll hand gesture. I was looking around like this one, we got David Bowie [Starman (song)] on bottom left.

@earnest wagon could you find anything about it, you have posted here i guess

[earnest wagon]

Howdy! Sorry, work got on top of me so I've been gone for a few days.

[snow walrus]

ah wait forgot to check here: https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1175202375070384208

[earnest wagon]

I remember digging into NOME for a bit, I thought there was a possible connection between that and the Aurora

[snow walrus]

thx, sorry for the ping!

[earnest wagon]

No worries! Hope to be back soon. Just had to take a break to get through this workload.

[worn flame]

Randomly poking around, and this is probably nothing, but i did find it interesting there is a command that showers question marks on a C64 system.
https://www.digitpress.com/eastereggs/c64system.htm

[snow walrus]

BUG: Due to a quirk in the C64's BASIC operating system, a screensaver of sorts may be activated: Begin by pressing RUN/STOP+RETORE, and then enter "POKE781,96:SYS58251" on the subsequently cleared screen. A screen full of “?” will appear

there is a film, Wyatt Earp about Nome Gold Rush. 1993 western based on the life of Wyatt Earp, starring Kevin Costner

[weary coyote]

gotta try that

[tulip fern]

thank you

please do! and don't forget to share with us hehe

[worn flame]

"I don't know if this has been found yet, found it on the data pad in the practice range. For some reason the text overlaps with my sniper when ADSing so that's the black/gray background you're saying, it highlighted the text as white which is why I thought it might be better for an image!" - @tulip fern

[tulip fern]

thanks a bunch!

this caught my attention because the bottom of the datapad looks kinda similar to how the concept arts show the color bits and stuff as well

and thought those two might be linked somehow because of that

[weary coyote]

it does do that

[weary coyote]

fancy, i had a c64 for many years but i never learned of this particular quirk. then again, this was long before internet, so

[vital oar]

HIDDEN MESSAGE: On address $FFF6-$FFF9

F is the 6th letter in the alphabet. 666

[quaint wing]

All the 666 is making me think more of a deviled egg than a golden one 😠

The password is actually Robs deviled egg recipe...

[vital oar]

recipe for disaster 🦀

[quaint wing]

sudo rm -rf. That's it. That's the password. We win /s

[weary coyote]

look at it go!

now i need to look at the disassembly why you need that sequence of run/stop-restore and that weird poke

[worn flame]

I feel like 666 comes up a significant amount, no?

[turbid tinsel]

hey look at transition scenes

[snow walrus]

similar right?

[valid lichen]

Damn I have missed quite a bit haven't I

[proud minnow]

do you have your C64 up and running...?

[proud minnow]

hehe

[brisk hearth]

Rob, you excited for s2? im checking the timer every day, cant wait!

[proud minnow]

Yes..!

[weary coyote]

i chickened out an used an emulator

[proud minnow]

It's so much new things in S2... really, really, REALLY cool things (if you ask me, hehe)...!

[weary coyote]

my c64 probably needs some love as it was in storage for so long, same with my a2000c

[warped karma]

Strange use of periods

🤨

[brisk hearth]

hell yes!

[proud minnow]

(and TONS of things that are linked to the EE-hunt, you well see... ._.)

[proud minnow]

Nej men Johannes FY.!
(No, bad Johannes.!)

[wise trout]

please someone crack the egg already i cant wait =p

[snow walrus]

talk is cheap, show me the egg my friend

[weary coyote]

ska fixa :D

[proud minnow]

We are only at level 2... but I guess/hope people will find other funny EE's in the game while this Epic EE-hunt continues... ._.

[snow walrus]

hey................ you cant just.. 😭

[quaint wing]

We'll get there...At some point.

[willow shore]

bro rob giving us the eege in stream

[wise trout]

🔥

[hard forge]

I am pretty sure Johannes is enjoying this.

[quaint wing]

I imagine villainous laughter throughout the day as they read the things we put in this channel.

[brisk hearth]

and lots of facepalms prob too

[quaint wing]

"HOW ARE YOU MAKING THOSE CONNECTIONS?!"

[brisk hearth]

well probably solve the answer to the universe before we find this egg at this point 😂

[weary coyote]

dont drag me into this, i am innocent

[proud minnow]

haha, yes you actually are.!

[proud minnow]

Yes most likely, haha

[sharp flame]

we know you hired Johannes to confuse us...

[quaint wing]

This walk in the park is still scary. I need my namatama to bring me peace

[warped karma]

[weary coyote]

yes, but it is a double bluff, i am not aware that he made me eventually say things at the right time when he hired me years ago, so it is perfect!

[snow walrus]

crowd funded full-time EE hunting job

[sharp flame]

👀

what if we pray to SCNS

Saint CNS!!

[quaint wing]

Can I have a task for a hint?! I'll do something in game for a hint. Give me my goal, let me help the team!

[brisk hearth]

get further than scotty

[quaint wing]

I've already done all that, lmao

I'll do tasks. Whatever it takes to get us on the right path in the right park

[snow walrus]

I see now why we can't progress in the hunt, you guys play the game!!!

[quaint wing]

I'm the brawn, not the brain.

[brisk hearth]

500+ hours :x

[velvet narwhal]

Try breaking the glitch near the sr graffiti

You can do it!

[quaint wing]

I'll run into everything...on my lunch

[turbid tinsel]

this looks familiar https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/1SWASP_J093010.78+533859.5

https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-33428506

the graph in the wiki links looks like the graph on the whiteboard

[brisk hearth]

have we started to document the patterns that are eminating out of the glitch spots?

[turbid tinsel]

The system (officially known as 1SWASP J093010.78+533859.5) features five stars that are all gravitationally bound together. Two orbit each other in what's called a contact eclipsing binary, meaning they're so close together that they actually share an atmosphere, with gases flowing between them.

[hard current]

I’m wondering why there have been palindromic primes in the hunt… what could they link to?

[brisk hearth]

have a feeling we may need to combine them to spell something out

[hard current]

that’s what I was thinking too, based off the pixels it looks like it could spell something when combined

[snow walrus]

i want to screaMMMMMMMM

[brisk hearth]

ya padlet is out of control

[hard forge]

this is also not updated

🥹

[pseudo shore]

There is fun cowboy hat on new game mode statue.

[quaint wing]

Making me think we gotta go find the cowboy statue in Vegas or something. A big ol' neon sign

[dull marsh]

So we need to boot up a C64 emulator huh...

[snow walrus]

i was wondering is there a special parameter to start the game with it

[hard forge]

LOADING
READY
RUN

[brisk hearth]

here come the clues!

😛

[proud minnow]

No, you need the real deal... emulators will not work... sorry.!

[proud minnow]

you have all the clues... ._.

[dull marsh]

Oh damn, so if none of us has any we're stuck on that part? 😮

[brisk hearth]

had a feeling youd say that x_x

[proud minnow]

and STILL I added some more in the upcoming S2 assets today... I'm such a nice person, haha... ._.

[brisk hearth]

praise be

surely well solve it then...right?

[quaint wing]

Waiting for that one hunter to come in and say "obviously it's xxxxxxxxxxxx" and we're done.

[hard forge]

i was looking for swedish C64s online, but found a message that Rob had German C64

[hard current]

hm.. @proud minnow if we have all the clues, then instead can we ask for advice?:))

[brisk hearth]

"guys the answer is 'sun'"

[quaint wing]

I've offered deals! Give me/the gang a task in game, we complete it, we get a lil nudge!

[proud minnow]

I had a nordic version after the german version... ._.

[proud minnow]

haha, well we are not there, yet... ._.

[quaint wing]

"yet"

[quaint wing]

I'll buy more skins

[brisk hearth]

we are beginning our journey down a dark path

[quaint wing]

Beginning?! We've been running through a dark forest this whole time! Unable to see the park before us

[hard current]

I’m frothing at the mouth looking at our padlet.. we’re not connecting something somewhere and it’s driving me crazy

[quaint wing]

Any sane person on the right path see's our pieces of candy to get out and follows us down our deep dark path to insanity

[brisk hearth]

im with ya, missing like one thing prob

[hard current]

i think we have legitimately everything we need (as rob has said many times) i.e. he’s exhausted the potential clues he had planned for this tier

[hard forge]

no one talks about Euler anymore

[quaint wing]

This hunt has been my experience dating. "You didn't get that hint? IT WAS SO OBVIOUS!!"

[plush geyser]

i've just been learning this in university with game design...

[brisk hearth]

it needs to be more obvious like, "this is the pw"

[hard forge]

good thing, maybe you can help us.

[plush geyser]

i mean, how would euler be applied here?? did i miss something in the convo??

[weary coyote]

fairly sure rob feels the same, why arent these guys getting it, it is all there!

[hard forge]

There are different versions of the swedish C64. The swedish C64C was sold with stickers on the keycaps only but the C64 breadboxes were sold sometimes with stickers and sometimes with real keycaps

[plush geyser]

ayo a dev talks in here??

[brisk hearth]

i are smort!

[quaint wing]

We're doing the best we can, but we've got the brainrot.!

[hard current]

have you looked at our padlet??

[plush geyser]

this doesnt seem to link with what i learnt Euler is.

[hard forge]

ahh sorry...it was not meant for you.

[plush geyser]

i was gonna say...

i needed to use Euler code on how to get player movement attached to a rolling sphere

[hard forge]

are you up to date with the hunt?

[plush geyser]

not in the slightest!

[weary coyote]

sowwy, i'll stop!

[hard forge]

noooo!

[plush geyser]

poor brotha got offended my by shock.

my humblest apologies doggo

[weary coyote]

i have been talking here on an on for a while .)

[plush geyser]

pretty much first time stepping in this section of the server tbh

anyways, it's midnight so me need sleep.

[vital oar]

He used 'e' instead of 'i' in 'will'
e is related to i, eulers identity, something something = pw

[granite lichen]

gang

[brisk hearth]

nice catch
