easter-eggs

[alpine junco]

new main menu music 100%

[vital oar]

btw further down you have

looks like a wave. Audio? Light?

[snow walrus]

EOF is End of File tag in computer science

[alpine junco]

put it in the #1213500600117891122

so we have all of it in one location

[bleak wharf]

probably a place where retro gaming machines were popular
but idk any specific one, they were popular everywhere at some point

[vital oar]

any idea about umn & r? only found this:

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. R provides a wide variety of statistical
UMN: UMN MapServer

[snow walrus]

petscii or extended ascii

[deft fjord]

hi! i think i can read some letters in the spectogram

[supple brook]

whoa so cool

[deft fjord]

but i can't post a picture

[vital oar]

where? can't see anything tbh

[vital oar]

you can send a screenshot to me

[slender lodge]

this part looks like it could be smth

butt he lines look a lil shuffled

[ancient otter]

this map looks like Seoul

[hard forge]

the music is 🔥

[rain comet]

Isn't it las vegas?

[bleak wharf]

nope, Vegas don't have spectator seats in the back

i think?

[solar glade]

oooh CNS hacking MuCoDOS?

[alpine whale]

so a map teased futher, interesting

[sharp flame]

definitely new map stuff, or maybe Seoul is getting a rework?

[deft fjord]

or my second theory, parts of the song in spectogram look like brick road

[bleak wharf]

it kinda looks like one of the corners of las vegas

[jade citrus]

It might also be important that the torrent link was posted in the South America LFG channel. There have been other clues that CNS might have Spanish-speaking members, like "CNS La Única Explicación CNS" from THE_FINALS_Screenshot_025_2880x1620_QB.png

[snow walrus]

i think its new map

[alpine whale]

doesn't look like anything like a seoul, but the solid structure on the right is interesting, maybe another high rise

so many questions

[sharp flame]

yeah, it really resembles the Lore video type of presentation

[snow walrus]

do you think it has something in the audio

[hard forge]

could it be SKYWAY stadium?

[sharp flame]

the lore videos are undoubtedly the new map at least

[sharp flame]

defo! cause I can make out a street

[hard current]

can someone update me? what torrent link? I thought these were posted in #official-art

cns_cns lol

[alpine whale]

@ cns_cns (not gonna ping)

[snow walrus]

they could select a better name

[alpine whale]

do they thou?

[snow walrus]

i've pinged already, am i gonna be hacked...

[hard forge]

too late now

[sharp flame]

#lfg-sa-ranked message guys I'm going undercover 🕵️

[ancient otter]

how can i post picture

[snow walrus]

it was a pleasure guys.. take care 🫂

[snow walrus]

imgur until you get a rank

[ancient otter]

ty and how to rank up

[alpine whale]

its a .tourrent file which is weird

[sharp flame]

CNS are hackers so cracking wouldn't be out of the picture!

[hard forge]

by talking in other channels.

[alpine whale]

i dont have anything to crack it thou, sadge

maybe get tourrent for this occation

[runic furnace]

I think you just have to interact in the server

[alpine whale]

ima do this, wish me luck

[snow walrus]

we already know who r! is but uMn 🤔

[ancient otter]

Okay, thank you very much for your suggestion. I just started using this software and I'm not very familiar with it. I'm very sorry

[solar glade]

this also links to why Scotty mentioned Sofia Petronelle during the first lore vignette (OSPUZE BP was inspired in Argentina's Gauchos)

[gloomy anvil]

is it normal for bit planes to have patterns like this? Xx_fooo_xX

[hard forge]

maybe magnecyl. Who I don't know.

[runic furnace]

No need to be sorry 👍

[sharp flame]

who is r!

[sharp flame]

get deluge

[snow walrus]

you know perfectly well..

[sharp flame]

in case other files show up

[sharp flame]

rob?!

[snow walrus]

isn't he

[sharp flame]

I just don't think he's canon 😭

[snow walrus]

but his sign is R.!

maybe that's why Rob always wear blacK

[sharp flame]

true..

hey, remember KN?

[ancient otter]

r! may be is vim code

[snow walrus]

@raven zenith uh hello sir can i listen this on Spotify i would be really appreciated thank u..

[copper sequoia]

Or maybe r is Quemby Rutile?

[vital oar]

@deft fjord wanted me to post this

[alpine whale]

what is this and where is it from?

[hard forge]

#1196200683129548902

[solid jay]

Looks like the spectrograph

[deft fjord]

it's a spectogram from that song

[alpine whale]

from teh tourrent link?

[solid jay]

yes

[deft fjord]

yes

[alpine whale]

i see

[deft fjord]

from what i can read it says HMIU

[snow walrus]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FILE_ID.DIZ

[solid jay]

kinda reminds me of genetic sequencing

and actually looks to me like the image could need to be rotated?

[alpine whale]

the song from the tourrent link is hella interesting

its fire

[solid jay]

thats where i see something legible

[solid jay]

maybe the black spaces need to be shifted up?

so an inverse of this overlaid on top of the original

[stiff comet]

Oh my.

Did I miss something important.

[alpine whale]

yep, CNS is back at it again

[stiff comet]

Gragh.

I was wondering why I had so many claims.

[gloomy anvil]

Just rounding up exactly what we received today. For search purposes as well.

[snow walrus]

normally file_id.diz should say what and how to do with the file

[stiff comet]

Okay, let's break it down.

Is the weird capitalizations coincidence or do you suppose there's a message.

[solid jay]

there are no coincidences

[stiff comet]

True, true...

[hard current]

@raven zenith

[solid jay]

this image name being xX_fooo_Xx makes me think there is an xX_bar_Xx

LABL
This is the description text without lowercase.

Seems to be somewhat meaningful.

[hard current]

All missing e’s and i’s and o’s in format

[solid jay]

and the b from album

[gloomy anvil]

It's a new Discord username so they don't have a code, the API defaults to #0 in its place

[hard current]

ag ok thank you:))

[stiff comet]

You're right, but it's missing other letters too, so it could be a red herring.

[solid jay]

I don't think we get explicit red herrings here? Someone clarify.

[stiff comet]

As in just to distract us.

[hard forge]

I don't think Rob would misled us.

[stiff comet]

Upon introspection, yes.

eee
o
ii
dti
ee
iee
b ii
ee ii
e
These are all the lowercase letters.

[plucky kettle]

I'm assuming not but there will be some things that could be taken multiple ways I guess but not on purpose

[hard forge]

haha, at least I am NOT the only one.

[snow walrus]

lowercase is the important ones i believe

aeiou bdfhkmnsrtvx

[fringe trench]

Maybe we're meant to find the missing performer and album

[gloomy anvil]

are there any cases of these letters also being uppercase?

[stiff comet]

No...?

[solid jay]

un r as well then

[stiff comet]

This string feels important.

[gloomy anvil]

In the source, I mean. e.g. does e appear in both lower and upper case

[humble wedge]

Yoo how to get my role

[stiff comet]

Not here, matey.

[runic furnace]

By interacting with the server

I just got mine today

[humble wedge]

Ohhhh

Thankk you yall

[stiff comet]

Ah, no.

[runic furnace]

Idk if there's a faster way but that's what I did

[stiff comet]

And I tried running the string through a word unscrambler, but no dice.

[hasty anvil]

The names 0f00 and f000 remind me of the 6000666 clue we got for g=6 in binary. Maybe something similar

[rain comet]

16000000
00160000

[vital oar]

Well Rob has already eyed 6 = F

[stiff comet]

Maybe g=6 or g=f is a key, for a Caesar cipher.

[hasty anvil]

Yeah so I’m thinking it’s an F=? , 0f00 = 0100, f000 = 1000

[stiff comet]

Like that one Nama Tama

[solid jay]

starting to look like unicode

[hasty anvil]

Glad you’re on my wavelength, I forgot the name of the code I couldn’t work it out haha

It’s what I was thinking

[stiff comet]

Ugh, shortcircuiting. I'm gonna go look at some chickens.

Hope I helped

[solid jay]

this is all i really got for this right now

[snow walrus]

::::::: =111111=127=DEL

[snow walrus]

C≡N bonds?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide

Cyanide is mainly produced for the mining of silver and gold

[vital oar]

It appears three times in total. Hmmm

[daring bluff]

you can pretty clearly see the stadium ring so we’re looking at a high FOV pic

[hasty anvil]

Yeah I also got 01001000 is H, so F=H but not sure if that’s meaningful

[snow walrus]

John Stewart MacArthur developed the cyanide process for gold extraction in 1887.

[snow walrus]

just in any case 😄

[hasty anvil]

The Unicode rabbit hole goes deep

[snow walrus]

can't believe this hunt got my whole weekends

[hasty anvil]

There’s a Latin script of Unicode, ‘?’ is 63 in decimal, g and e connections

[snow walrus]

it has become a love and hate relationship with me

[hasty anvil]

I feel there’s a lot there

[hard forge]

my weekdays too

[snow walrus]

BTW CNS About Me section:

SeeK THe TRuTH

eee u

[vital oar]

Dreamed today that we solved it, not joking. Was even able to read the pw

[velvet narwhal]

WHAT WAS THE PW????

[wet locust]

Yooo wassup fellas, y'all found any secrets within the new art, yet?

[plucky kettle]

new art

where is it

[alpine junco]

#1213500600117891122

[wet locust]

Nvm I have just been informed that there's no new art, my bad

I saw a notification for the official art channel and didn't check the dates lmao

[cobalt cosmos]

there was a noti but discord does that kinda stuff all the time

[crisp glen]

I just saw one of those yellow boxes with mirrored text in the new game mode

Seriously cool stuff you guys are doing

Mad respect

[proud minnow]

Hi all.!
What's going on in here, been playing THE FINALS all day... ._.

[stiff comet]

Bamboozled, as usual.

'Sup.

[gloomy anvil]

some weird... stuff has been appearing 🧐 https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1213500600117891122

[velvet narwhal]

You're playing THE FINALS too? Whoever made that game, they did a good job!

[ancient otter]

The channel has been hacked by CNS

[snow walrus]

same same... nothing suspicious at all, just an ordinary day in THE FINALS

[hard current]

cns gave us some… petscii art of a… new map?

[snow walrus]

i think they did more than that

[frigid pecan]

Do we have to translate the PETSCII?

[proud minnow]

Yes I got a call from our CM's... CNS is really starting to up their game.!

[snow walrus]

it's their turn, they wanna play too 😄

[dull marsh]

DAMN that song goes hard, hope we get it in-game at some point

[delicate arch]

[dull marsh]

They probably are 100 steps in front of you already 🥰

The bamboozler is getting bamboozled!!

[hard forge]

they are organising too. Some of the hunters joined them. I don't know who tho.

[snow walrus]

toggled loop mode, been playing since then 😂

[stiff comet]

I'm getting the feeling we may have missed something from before I got here. Not saying I'm omniscient, just suspiciously few threads to follow.

[ancient otter]

They left some traces that we caught and also including a very beautiful piece of music

[viral fulcrum]

puzzled by the supposedly new map screenshot there's probably something to find there

[snow walrus]

CNS: N-C-S-C-N -> Au(CN2)
S is for Aurum?

[proud minnow]

PHEW... I was getting a little bit nervous, but now and chill and get back to play another of rounds of Smoking guns (almost done)... ._.

[snow walrus]

community-event: 45%

[hard forge]

&

[nimble cosmos]

just noticed that the holtow website changed from the blinking red dot to some white and blue flickering

[viral fulcrum]

its been like that for a while

[nimble cosmos]

ah ok my bad

[viral fulcrum]

look in the pins at "HOLTOW HUNT" if ur interested ppl analyzed the gif

[hard forge]

A E I O U

[shut sentinel]

my friend and this wierd thing O_o

[nimble cosmos]

[snow walrus]

BTW why Doom

[hard forge]

doom eternal

doom (1993)

[snow walrus]

i know the franchise, love it!

but what is it about them

Rip and Hack CNS

[gloomy anvil]

same year 4X was coined, Xx_..._xX
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_4X_video_games

[graceful panther]

anyone had found something interesting by any chance?

[runic furnace]

Idk if this is relevant

But the smoke and guns event looks like it was supposed to end on February 28 for me

[hard forge]

why?

[runic furnace]

I don't know 🤷

[gloomy anvil]

This is a bug they mentioned it in the patch notes

[runic furnace]

Okay thanks 👍

[frigid pecan]

Maybe we can translate these bitmaps using PETSCII or ASCII?

[runic furnace]

Anyways has anyone looked at the deep at the smoking guns out fit

[deft fjord]

Isn't the Xx_..._xX a throwback to old gamertags ?

From like 2000-2015?

[strong cloak]

Any theories on the monaco house that has a corner glitching

[runic furnace]

I found an X on it

It appears between the bottom two buttons about every 12 seconds for around 3 seconds

[deft fjord]

Just thought about it and maybe it's like going back in time (maybe n64 era). The title and that song would support that, given that it references Doom and Xx_..._xX in the title

[stiff comet]

What particularly could the X’s mean?

[deft fjord]

Also, the song itself is in 8bit style

[stiff comet]

Just asking for any pet theories.

[runic furnace]

Can you send the photo in here?

[stiff comet]

Of what?

[runic furnace]

Of the x I screenshot it

[quaint wing]

DM it to me and I'll post it.

[deft fjord]

That would make sense given that in canon "the finals" is a virtual game show

[quaint wing]

From @runic furnace

[deft fjord]

Wait, X?

[stiff comet]

You talking about that little twinkle?

[quaint wing]

There's a feint X between the bottom 2 buttons.

[deft fjord]

There ale lots of X in the spectogram of that song

[quaint wing]

I'm applying it to a heavy and seeing if I can see something similar.

[stiff comet]

For reference :3

[snow walrus]

maybe its coming from noir effect?

[stiff comet]

Also that twinkle on his shoulder seems conspicuous.

[quaint wing]

I can tell you right now that it's not the same on the actual skin

That artwork though

[snow walrus]

hey there are more

[stiff comet]

wha

[deft fjord]

it's a spectograph of that song

[quaint wing]

From fedo

[stiff comet]

[deft fjord]

it must have something to do with this

[stiff comet]

X does mean 5, X marks the spot, multiplication…

[alpine junco]

X,X,X

[stiff comet]

Assume it’s not referencing Twitter’s pet name.

[alpine junco]

like rob said

[stiff comet]

Link?

[alpine junco]

#easter-eggs message

[stiff comet]

Hmmmmm…

Conspicuous…

[snow walrus]

10

[stiff comet]

Pardon.

[quaint wing]

That X on the picture is deliberate. I can't do much right now because I'm working all day, but something tells me those scratches in the shirt have something special hidden amongst them

[stiff comet]

When he says Namatama, he clearly means easter eggs. Easter eggs hide at 3 places where we find X…which we likely have.

[stiff comet]

Yeah like that.

[crimson tree]

Im new to the discord can someone catch me up on the Easter eggs??

[stiff comet]

We need to comb every picture with an X in it.

[stiff comet]

Sadly, not really.

[bronze wolf]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1100745453206786078

[stiff comet]

We need a frame by frame ESPN-style.

[quaint wing]

Don't need that, just need a high res screenshot of it. I'm trying to see if I can force my GPU to go to 4k for a good one.

[snow walrus]

is there a graph or smth on shirt

[stiff comet]

Sorta looks like it, yeah.

[deft fjord]

that must mean that the song still hides something

[stiff comet]

I still wanna try, to satiate my own curiosity.

[quaint wing]

Maybe the shimmers got something else going on too. Look for a pattern in those. Like a lil morse code action or something. Back to work for me though, good luck hunters ❤️

[runic furnace]

Start here #egg-hunt-onboarding

[crimson tree]

thanks

[snow walrus]

X 88 Radium?
88 in ASCII and also atomic number

[stiff comet]

Location and order of the twinkles (parentheses were the order in the second cycle and the square bracket was a twinkle that happened right at the end.

[snow walrus]

you know X-rays

[stiff comet]

Perhamps.

I'm going on chicken break, nobody discover the password.

[vital oar]

does the X maybe tell us which frames of the video are relevant?

[stiff comet]

Elaborate.

[hard moss]

Missed this twinkle

[stiff comet]

Absolutely destroyed

[vital oar]

I tried analyzing only one frame/picture and couldn't find anything but maybe we need to apply it to a couple of frames instead of just one

trying that rn

[stiff comet]

That's what I did.

[hard moss]

I tried linking them with lines, looked like a constellation at first, but turned into chaos lol

[stiff comet]

Spent a few minutes looking over every frame, nothing seemed relevant.

[vital oar]

could someone confirm: when the X appears, there are also some circular drawings which appear. they only appear while the X is visible

these ones

[stiff comet]

Saw those other places too.

[sharp flame]

GUYS

https://www.reddit.com/r/cns/ ?????

[stiff comet]

Those were the areas circled whil the X was active. Handy, innit

[stiff comet]

WHAR

[hard forge]

what now?

[quaint wing]

FISH SURVIVED

Nothing new, sadly.

But keep this in mind.

As a certain 1x1 Lego piece once said "TAKE A PICTURE!!!"

Hold on. Is he the real fish?

[sharp flame]

are those FISHES??

[stiff comet]

THIS IS GETTING DEVIOUS

hm

[snow walrus]

torrent file has already been shared in here by CNS themself

[stiff comet]

Sounds familiar.

[gloomy anvil]

I wonder if the torrent has been on holtow.com for longer and we never found it

[stiff comet]

I'm not even gonna pretend to know how you pulled anything from that

[sharp flame]

CNS NOTICED ME

[vital oar]

......_. title of one of the posts. havent been able to make a word out of it though with morse

[sharp flame]

<> ><> ><> ><>

Maybe that's the idea, ties into the larger mystery of their identity.

[snow walrus]

how did you find /filez

[quaint wing]

The CNS subreddit

[snow walrus]

who runs that sub 😄

[quaint wing]

CNS

[timid solstice]

ESTAR

Estar is one of two verbs in Spanish meaning 'to be.'

[umbral shell]

Yea only three post, all interesting text

[gloomy anvil]

4RCU5 🤔

[quaint wing]

I'm stupid. Ignore me.

[umbral shell]

maybe scrambled “STARE” or the Electronically Scanning Thinned-Array Radiometer

[stiff comet]

Whazzat?

[hasty anvil]

To be or not to be?

[stiff comet]

That isn't the question, I tried it already.

[unborn pilot]

......_. (S N C / CNS mirrored)

[stiff comet]

https://airbornescience.nasa.gov/instrument/Electronically_Scanning_Thinned-Array_Radiometer
nvm

[umbral shell]

Could be another reference to that as well but has there been any Spanish references?

[neat shoal]

fancy seeing you here :p

[unborn pilot]

oh yeah discord sucks. this one (S N C -> CNS)

[umbral shell]

I only ignored that because I wasn’t sure there have been any

[stiff comet]

Not that I know of, only Latin and the like.

[unborn pilot]

haha. long time no see 🙂 welcome!

[snow walrus]

btw where is this from

[unborn pilot]

https://www.reddit.com/r/cns/comments/1b4quzq/_/

[snow walrus]

should we follow outside of official platforms i am not sure

[sly totem]

where my seeders at
nvm it started downloading :3

[quaint wing]

Considering the information leads straight to Holtow sites + the file was kept in here as long as it has been, chances are it's from them.

A CM would've nuked that kinda thing right away.

[unborn pilot]

this one matches all the ones in Discord and is official it seems

[sharp flame]

do we want to make a new thread?

or repurpose the cns art one

[stiff comet]

Fer what?

[hard forge]

repurpose

[gloomy anvil]

the subreddit also has an extended version of the CNS graphic which we haven't seen before

[stiff comet]

Prolly something to pore over by much more experienced eyes.

[quaint wing]

Might as well keep things going in the CNS art one. This is technically their art.

[snow walrus]

4RCU5 = ARCUS ?

like ARC US, we are ARC

[jade citrus]

must be the name of the member

[stiff comet]

Arcus senilis (cornea senilis) are lipid deposits that appear as rings on the outer region of the cornea. They are usually gray or white and are usually opaque. They often appear denser in the superior and inferior regions.

Doesn't seem very related.

[stiff comet]

Like the ring 'round the arena, mayhaps?

[dull gorge]

i

[jade citrus]

its latin

[snow walrus]

nice find

[dim silo]

ARC US, we are ARC. ARC Raiders ?

[dull gorge]

petscii i - arc

[umbral shell]

If you click the fishes on Reddit, it takes you to a link, but it’s broken. Maybe we have to complete it?

[gloomy anvil]

lol CNS has a Google account too

[umbral shell]

Or there’s something on hollow to be discovered and that’s a hint

On holtow*

What if we translate the CNS music into Solfege?

[hard forge]

◝ ?

[stiff comet]

Clues have been shown to link to music before.

[snow walrus]

give me a min

[stiff comet]

🫢

[hard forge]

google and CNS? naa I don't believe it.

jk

[snow walrus]

i need to download an FTP client

[stiff comet]

Why?

[umbral shell]

gonna use a spectrogram on the newest track

[silver rock]

lol I was just about to do the same thing

[umbral shell]

We’re locked in brother lmaoo

[quaint wing]

#easter-eggs message From Fedo

It's the Spectogram of the song.

[silver rock]

there's the whole one

[umbral shell]

Oh nvm thanks

[stiff comet]

I need the link to the song again, I wanna test my theory.

[dull gorge]

whats the timestamp of those x's

[alpine junco]

the build up

[silver rock]

right about 23 seconds in

What I'm thinking is that they wouldn't make it as easy as just plugging the music into a spectrogram

there has to be another level to it

[runic furnace]

Have you tried playing the song backwards

[alpine junco]

heres a better image

[stiff comet]

Like converting it to solfege!

[silver rock]

exactly

also people have seen the other file that comes with the music right?

[runic furnace]

I havent

[jade citrus]

yes, https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1213500600117891122

[silver rock]

Thank you!

Figured it had definitely been posted by now

[dim silo]

@silver rock 😮

[snow walrus]

CNS website exist? can we find

[stiff comet]

Can't figure out how to do it...

Need some help from someone more music savvy.

[dull gorge]

do you mean find the key of the note on the x's ?

[stiff comet]

No, convert the whole song into solfege.

Maybe there's a secret message there, considering we've gotten similar clues in the past.

I know, tall order.

But you can never be too sure.

[dull gorge]

https://moises.ai , you can seperate the instruments of the wav file with this.

might make it easier to dissect it

[hearty meteor]

we dont use AI in our analysis

[stiff comet]

I had a hunch.

This feels like a solid lead though...we may have to do it manually...

Didn't help finding solfege anyways.

Though it is in a key of G, which is very intentional.

[hallow saddle]

👋

[stiff comet]

You there!

[hallow saddle]

Very new to the hunt, but am music savy

[stiff comet]

You wanna be up all night dissectin' this for a loose lead?!

[hallow saddle]

Sure lol I'll limit myself to 3 drinks

[stiff comet]

Good man.

We're looking for sheet music basically.

[hallow saddle]

Could you DM me what you have so far for me to go off of ? I have 5 kids and its kinda hard to consolidate everything

relating to the music *

[stiff comet]

Can do.

[hallow saddle]

Thank you!

was looking around in the spectrogram a little bit more... what's this?

[dim silo]

Nothing about the two pictures in CNS reddit ? https://www.reddit.com/r/cns/comments/1b4quzq/_/
The second one look like a view of something in game maybe.

[daring bluff]

bow and arrow medium weapon mhm mhm

[sharp flame]

Yep! I think it's the new map

[unborn pilot]

they were in Discord too, check posts & use search function to find stuff easily #1213500600117891122 message

[daring bluff]

or at least, a new map :))

[sharp flame]

True! The screenshots could be from multiple new ones

[daring bluff]

they made skyway stadium for a reason, I could be wrong but since the “stadium” maps don’t have a consistent or core theme, they likely won’t be used for a dedicated season or battle pass map. they would release during mid season events or alongside another

plus they can reuse assets and the creative/unique theme isn’t as mandatory, which is (i’d think) the hardest part about making new maps anyway

not to say the stadium maps won’t have a consistent theme, it just won’t be as core to the map as the ones based on real locations which are also expected to have new assets

[hallow saddle]

I'm not sure I have anything at all, but may be worth looking into for someone who is more well versed in the hunt than I am.
When viewing the WAV file in a spectrum analyzer using a Logarithmic Frequency Scale, there appears to be a stream of letters that repeat throughout the course of the file. They change a few times in the quieter parts, than repeat again.

[solid jay]

what letters?

[hallow saddle]

Y, and A predominantly throughout the middle of the file

repeating, like YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[solid jay]

can you DM me a screen shot?

@stiff comet where can i view the skins? Like the tv head screen and the post-it-note fcar?

[stiff comet]

And season 2...makes me wonder if more helpful clues will pop up when it drops.

[snow walrus]

Can someone try playing reversed

[gloomy anvil]

these are leaks, we try to avoid those in this channel

real leaks that is, the CNS stuff is lore

[stiff comet]

Playing what reversed?

[snow walrus]

CNS 8bit

[vagrant jacinth]

I can show you just dm me

[stiff comet]

I'll try, but I doubt it'll yield much.

Never know though.

[hard moss]

Reversed version

[stiff comet]

[hard moss]

Sounds a lot like the standard theme from time to time.
Edit: Might be imagining it idk

[stiff comet]

Definitely sounds groovy, but not exactly clue worthy.

That kinda checking may be just grasping at straws.

When Stan gets back to me with the transcription we can get more solid things to check.

[stiff comet]

No, I hear it too, esecially the leitmotif.

[vagrant jacinth]

If that is the lobby soundtrack for S2 I will literally cry. ITS A BANGERRRR 🔥 🔥 🔥

[stiff comet]

Wouldn't doubt it.

[vagrant jacinth]

Does someone have the picture of the presumed new map leaked by CNS

[pallid rock]

Paris

Baguette melee

[vagrant jacinth]

no shep

go to your dms

[pallid rock]

I will die on this hill

[stiff comet]

We can only guess, but it looks like a Seoul rework rather than a new map.

Shame, Seoul's been my longtime favorite.

[vagrant jacinth]

It looks like it could be tokyo

not a reword

rework

[stiff comet]

Not the place to discuss this.

[coarse dagger]

It's not just a zoom though, whatever editor you're zooming with is trying to upscale as you zoom and adding the blurriness. That's my point.

[alpine junco]

google chrome zoom

[snow walrus]

even reversed one also cool 😂

[lament sparrow]

Freedom very well could be the missing song from the playlist

[stiff comet]

Sounds more lore-y.

[lament sparrow]

I mean, it sounds like a cyberware song if that makes sense, like being in the matrix sorta

it definatly has "that" vibe going for it

maybe it'll get added on to the playlist during S2

[stiff comet]

Still gonna post it to YouTube so I can loop it more easily.

[lament sparrow]

also, im not gonna lie, its a banger

[normal iron]

yo the song is actually fire

[solid jay]

like a hyper-pop almost, but this isn't really the place to discuss that

with some dark techno influence

[stiff comet]

[lament sparrow]

yes, and sorry.

[sharp flame]

...._._._.

[stiff comet]

I knew that.

But this seems important.

[sharp flame]

no sorry

[stiff comet]

Really?

😔

[neon stream]

@sharp flame ☝🏻

[sharp flame]

the underscores get removed by discord I mean

[stiff comet]

Oh.

[quaint wing]

To the homies throwing the song through spectrogram, what if it's slowed down or sped up. Does anything more legible come out of the imagery?

[stiff comet]

sigh We really got no leads do we...

[quaint wing]

Oh there's leads.

Just gotta give people to make them concrete

[stiff comet]

Well what does that make me.

[snow walrus]

where was this

[quaint wing]

Everyone thinks their own way and does their own things. Mess around with stuff and see if you see something in a way none of us have, or build on something others have seen!

[stiff comet]

This sorta looks like the generators on Seoul, mixed with the wall from Las Vegas.

Ready for the next battle!

Hi guys I've been lurking for weeks

[stiff comet]

Oh boy.

[snow walrus]

HCN maybe :p

Hydrogen cyanide

HCN is the precursor to sodium cyanide and potassium cyanide, which are used mainly in gold and silver mining and for the electroplating of those metals.

[stiff comet]

I was aboutta say that

[snow walrus]

i tried to make that SNC but no..

or /NC

[stiff comet]

Maybe I need a longer break from this. I'm gonna go off the air until the meeting on Sunday.

Digitally insured, virtually secured.

[snow walrus]

assume that its binary and every byte is represents something then:

do you know what is D5

[hard forge]

there is no meeting

[snow walrus]

3U

[stiff comet]

oh godammit

I still need a break.

[snow walrus]

UUU is Ununium(Z=111)=Roentgenium

Roentgen(UUU).. Xray.(Radium).. 🤔

[misty raven]

People mentioning how arcus is latin. One translation is rainbow right? Didn't I see people analyzing rainbows and light spectrums in here before?

[snow walrus]

Roentgenium is calculated to have similar properties to its lighter homologues, copper, silver, and gold, although it may show some differences from them. Roentgenium is thought to be a solid at room temperature and to have a metallic appearance in its regular state.

[snow walrus]

okay we are onto something but not 100%

[brisk hearth]

thats what she said?

[snow walrus]

has Iodine been eyed before?

[stiff comet]

There's another piece of this, a little corner bit, I think it was supposed to look like Namatama.

And that was the strongest thread for a while there, so it may be worth revisiting.

[dull marsh]

Can't wait to get home and join the hunt all night

[stiff comet]

Elaborate on this.

[dull marsh]

For the music the inspiration is DEFINITELY from cracking software like keygens which always have that type of amazing beat

Do not use keygens tho 😳

[stiff comet]

What was your pet theory exactly?

[snow walrus]

that's the great part.. i don't know

[stiff comet]

Oh lovely.

[wicked gulch]

Bruh i love the ee hunts but don't have the experience or patience good on anyone figuring it out tho

[stiff comet]

Brotha I don't either but my boss said if I don't sleuth this shit out I won't get the promotion. (In reality it's my own sense of pride keeping me in the game.)

[stiff comet]

That chemical you were talking about is 100% a lead, we just don't know where.

[proven gazelle]

So I noticed S LiES is in this press image.

[hard moss]

Yeah it's for sure a reference to keygen music. Been going down a road the last few hours going over software cracking, trying to find anything.
Currently looking through the song with a hex-editor, nothing so far really

[proven gazelle]

You mean Release screens

[stiff comet]

And I know that Stan is trying to lay it out onto sheet music, which we hope will yield results.

[hard moss]

I'm sorry?

[proven gazelle]

Scene Release

Thats the ASCii and coded screens that come with keygens and pirated software.

Add L and S to EYE

Bet there is other hidden messages in placement like that. lol

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

Minor planet 6401 Roentgen is named after him

[dull marsh]

Feels far fetched tbh

[proven gazelle]

idk. don't you see the resemblance to the word?

[dull marsh]

Yes and no, I see exactly what you mean but I tend to think that hints (once discovered) are fairly obvious and straightforward

[proven gazelle]

there is one image where THE is the primary focus. like it's apart of SEEK the TRUTH..

[dull marsh]

When there is a play on words it's gonna be something very clear

[proven gazelle]

So maybe this image is the SEEK portion?

[dull marsh]

That seems like you're seeing what you want to see

[limpid sky]

Hi, why I can’t join vc?

[dull marsh]

Not saying you're wrong tho, I might be wrong on that 😉

[hard current]

[proven gazelle]

[limpid sky]

Bruh

[proven gazelle]

I'm sure it'll all come out in the wash

[coarse dagger]

I don't follow this part of your logic.

I see the S on the eye, but your reasoning for including the L seems like you're reaching for a connection using hindsight knowledge of "S LIES"

[proven gazelle]

MaYBE. but when i seen the image posted yesterday. my response was a mere oh hey, s lies.

it was a n instant corlation.

its also backwards so it's kinda iffy

The post times on the subreddit were well before any of us the CNS stuff in the discord, right?

So it's 100% from Embark.

[snow walrus]

57 in ASCII is 9

[alpine junco]

realized this is 100% rob's graffiti

[misty raven]

hehe U is a vertically mirrored arch

[gloomy anvil]

I don't know if we should spiral down the specifics of gold's atomic mass right now.

To me it seemed more like a nudge at Gold as a theme, but I could be wrong.

[alpine junco]

the curve was mentioned last night

for i

[hasty anvil]

I remember, but does the heart reaction maybe mean we need to continue that, we need all 4 of the curves

[proud minnow]

I would NEVER do anything like that... ._.

[alpine junco]

im gonna go with heart = right direction

[alpine junco]

on a wall that is ; )

[snow walrus]

but why he did mention gold to my message

a word should be related with it

They seem to be really shy and extremely hard to spot, I don't think more than 2-3 people ever managed to spot them, and even more interesting, no one have ever managed to record or capture a single screenshot of any monkeys... but we are at lest 2 people that swear that they have seen a monkey... there seem to be some link between TOD, weather or some other astronomical link...

[proven gazelle]

Is seeing a gigantic Blood moon normal to see in game?

[bronze wolf]

but what timezone?

[agile depot]

Considering the depth of the story, it isn't super unlikely. In fact, it might be possible.

[sand crest]

i looked up a dawn/sunset calculator and made it last 132 minutes in various places to get a location list of coordinates. If that were the case, i assume the monkey would be active every day.. so with that answer, i guess it's not every day and it's probably tied to something else in our solar system ..

[proud minnow]

You never know, as devs the only thing you can do is pour your heart, soul and passion into what you believe in, there are 1000's of great game that don't survive for tons of different reasons... that is just the nature of games and entertainment, and also the beauty...

[proven gazelle]

do you haVE PRO to see the other games they are all apart of?

[proud minnow]

No, but there are some old friends and colleagues in that list...

[dull marsh]

Doesn't that look like 330?

[lament sparrow]

we NEED that helmet

[hard moss]

"One night, three dawns. See the signs"

[lone wave]

Eh close enough (not)

[agile depot]

Is anyone who worked on Majestic in the team?

[sand crest]

it can also mean that you started traveling westward at night, at 1640km/hour (or a bit less) for 72 hours to be in a constant "dawn"

[hasty anvil]

What’s interesting was the three headed monkey on all maps was 1st day of the month, maybe it’s some irl correlation

[sand crest]

it's time of day, weather and some other astronomical phenomenon

[lament sparrow]

has anybody tried messaging the reddit account yet?

[hard current]

question, how can you have 1 night but three dawns? to have 3 dawns you should also have 3 nights, and I know we’ve brought up the three types of dawn but that was never confirmed sadly

[dull marsh]

March (03) 1st 2024, friday, 61st day of the year, 305 days remaining until the end of the year

[hasty anvil]

Well it was 1st of the month, 2 hours before midnight in Stockholm they become more active

[lament sparrow]

maybe it refers to how in TF they have more than 1 game per day

[bronze wolf]

whoa, looking into monkey zodiac timing:

• In Chinese philosophy, metal or **gold **(Chinese: 金; pinyin: jīn), the fourth phase of Wu Xing,

• Wuxing (Chinese: 五行; pinyin: wǔxíng),[a] usually translated as Five Phases or Five Agents

[lament sparrow]

so the sun may set 3 times, because its a simulation.

[sand crest]

yes but why 132min specifically

[gloomy anvil]

305 / 61 is a nice round 5 right?

[dull marsh]

Friday is the 5th day of the week

I'm not seeing any planetary transits for march 1st

[hard current]

yeah but for it to rise (dawn) three times would require a period of darkness (night) between each

[gloomy anvil]

although Rob specifically called out TOD, weather, and astronomical events

[lament sparrow]

maybe the night maps?

[hasty anvil]

Well, Rob did say it makes no sense

[gloomy anvil]

Sweden TOD was Evening, weather was cloudy (Overcast?) and Idk about the event

[hard current]

maybe it’s a classic double meaning

they don’t actually mean night and dawn

1 moon, 3 suns?

[sand crest]

weather and astronomical events could mean the tides

but those cycles are 6-12h

[gloomy anvil]

O(vercast) _ E(vening)

spitballing, poorly

[dull marsh]

I think that the moon at 66.6% might be right

But not sure why it would last the time it did

0.1% of a moon phase is less than that duration

[gloomy anvil]

#easter-eggs message

[dull marsh]

(I don't have the exact length in mind anymore tho)

[hasty anvil]

Maybe something like this, Antares relates to constellations, stars and star signs

[quaint stream]

Didn't Rob eye that Vegas has 3 dawn maps and 1 night map?

[dull marsh]

X = 88 -> There are 88 official constellations in the sky

I think the TOD and weather are about in-game stuff

Would be highly unreliable otherwise

And astronomical event is similar for everyone at the same time

[sand crest]

there's an API for everything..

[dull marsh]

Sure, but you see what I mean

[sand crest]

so it must be something that is very common, and that it wouldn't need access to the hubble telescope

you believe they'd be manually turning the monkey event on and off at midnight?

[hasty anvil]

TOD and weather I’m sure is in game, but ‘some other astronomical link’ must be irl related, something that affects all of us at the same time, like some planetary alignment

[quaint wing]

The moon phase for Stockholm was 66.6% when Rob posted the message last time.

[hasty anvil]

Can we find out when the next one is?

When it’s 66.6 again

[dull marsh]

Is it specific to Stockholm or for everyone?

I feel like it would be roughly the same on earth

[quaint wing]

Unsure if it was just Stockholm or everyone. I can compare Stockholm to where I am right now and see if it's similar.

[runic furnace]

Remind me what does tod mean

[gloomy anvil]

It was 66.8%, and became 66.6% about 1-2 hours after it ended

[sand crest]

STHLM

[jade citrus]

time of day

[runic furnace]

Ty

[dull marsh]

The moon is pretty far away, the parallax wouldn't be insane, but it could actually change it slightly 🤔

[runic furnace]

I was very off I thought it meant time of death/touch of death

[sand crest]

if it's automatic, it could be one of these :p

[jade citrus]

DONKI

[dull marsh]

He posted it yesterday at 21:57 (STHLM time)

[sand crest]

MONKI

[dull marsh]

I think for now we should stick to the 66.6% moon phase and see if we get it again in 28-ish days

[quaint wing]

Looked it up. Moon phase is the same around the globe.

[hasty anvil]

When’s the next one?

[quaint wing]

28 days? I'm trying to see if I can figure it out by looking up a bunch of stuff right now

Based on the date from the last one, sometime between March 25th and April 1st

[dull marsh]

He sent the first message mentionning the 3-headed monkey on 23/01/2024 22:55, might have been a relevant time too

[coarse dagger]

Not that I can find. If you're referencing a Rob post or an 👀'd post be sure to find it, link it, and quote it.

So were all the Easter eggs just s2 teasers?

[misty raven]

The actual easter egg hunt predates season 1 so no

[quaint wing]

The EE we've been hunting was here before release.

[dull marsh]

Are we gonna get the next three-headed monkey opportunity on april 10?

[sand crest]

Ummm.. is this CNS? Or someone trolling

https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/s/OIgUCIo0ay

[dull marsh]

The person said they don't know why the image came out like that, probably reddit doing weird things

[timber narwhal]

has anyone been seeing the white things along monaco while playing the new event

[sand crest]

In my many years of Reddit I’ve never seen anything being fried like that

[timber narwhal]

there like white glitches

[dull marsh]

I think I've seen something similar happen a few days ago

[timber narwhal]

i think cns might have hacked the map

or be apart of it

[austere palm]

Me when cns is pog 😱😱😱😱

[hasty anvil]

Aurora the Latin goddess of dawn has 2 siblings, Sol and Luna, I wonder if that’s the meaning of 3 dawns

Aurora also led to aurum which led to Au or gold

Aurora, Sol and Luna is Dawn, sun and moon

[austere palm]

Aurora borealis

[hasty anvil]

Aurora also northern lights connection

Aurora also mentioned in Romeo and Juliet

[safe gulch]

At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?

[dull marsh]

Wat

[safe gulch]

It's a reference to the Simpsons

From steamed hams

Wrong chan for that tho, let's keep it as clean as we can

[radiant meteor]

Scotty just glitched out??????

[solid jay]

wym?

[radiant meteor]

I’m trying to make a clip rn hold on

[static temple]

They say that CNS was tryna hijack some of the rounds, but I haven’t seen Scotty glitch out or hear something unusual

Must be blind as hell then

[solid jay]

This is bordering on https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1204741064800338000 related content

we deal with easter eggs here

[static temple]

Ah ok, I saw the other day an ad for the energy drink at the mall, I think it was in the jewelry section under and had like something hidden behind it but idk what it was

Not even as a light with a sniper I could fully see it

[solid jay]

Interesting, if you can get a screen grab of it DM me it

[coarse dagger]

There's no way this is real 😅

[rain comet]

[gloomy anvil]

listening again to that scratchy opening line, I don't think so 😂

it just seemed to line up with @radiant meteor 's comment.

[ember pawn]

Hey is this from a map? I don’t recognize this location

Its from xbox app screenshot

heres the leaked music if anyone wants to run it through an audio stenaganographer

running it through a spectrogram i think? i see letters?

its hard to tell

but the signals should be relatively clean since its all electronic

Uh don’t compress it then look. Use the original

[loud stream]
