easter-eggs

[alpine junco]

time to test goo gunning outside monaco

[hasty anvil]

What could all potential Monaco clues be?;
132 mins
Candle and walk in the park at night?
Three headed monkey, monkey island, ‘look behind you’
Cannons

[snow walrus]

hey once you entered in practice range, June says:

...they really think you can steal the show...
You know who steals the show on SEASON 2?

[hasty anvil]

Rob said ‘he’s getting soft’ maybe that’s also a hint, balloons maybe?

‘Hanging in the chat’

https://monkeyisland.fandom.com/wiki/Three_Headed_Monkey

Sometimes when Guybrush is defeated in an Insult Sword Fighting duel, he would also shout, "Look, a three-headed monkey!"

2 lights and one dies then you can see it maybe

[bright ruin]

A sword fight duel

[alpine junco]

got outside monaco, literally unplayable

[prisma tundra]

how did oyu manage that

[bright ruin]

This would be hard to replicate on your own if it actually does require a sword fight duel to occur in the finals

[alpine junco]

stand on the guard post and it makes u jump automatically which then pushes you out. you can goo gun and grapple on the cliff

i can see it possibly being exploitable

building a goo fortress outside the map

[prisma tundra]

can you goo gun climb the borde

[hasty anvil]

Maybe in the most recent game mode it’s easier, which is why it’ll leave in 3 days

[prisma tundra]

untill they shoot the one first part goo

[alpine junco]

i'll get a clip

[fallen jasper]

Wtf are guard booths????

[prisma tundra]

thanks cause im bamboozled on how to get there lmao

[fallen jasper]

Hectic

[shrewd fog]

guard booths = out houses

[mystic storm]

Maybe "hanging" in a tree?

[bright ruin]

Grappling perhaps?

Swing like a monkey

[fallen jasper]

It's good

[fresh quiver]

pin maybe?

and afterwards re-pin #easter-eggs message that the checklist for new hunters is in first place?

[fresh spruce]

Coincidence or not, the trailer has 2691 frames. "Phantom", a performance in Vegas, has had 2691 performances. Phantom Program - BF4 EE. Not sure what to take of it.

[spare plover]

oh wow, nice reference

[fresh quiver]

and sometime in the future it will have 3000 performances. this is a "dynamic" value

[spare plover]

some of embark studio's employees are former dice employees...

[fresh quiver]

but yes. phantom program was a good time

[young breach]

Nope, seems that the final performance was 2691

[hasty anvil]

I searched 2691 no phantom came up, do you have a link?

[fresh spruce]

https://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/phantom-35-year-broadway-run-ends-10-years-after-las-veags-show-closed-2762844/

The New York City closing comes more than 10 years after the popular “Phantom — The Las Vegas Spectacular” closed its six-year, 2,691-performance run at The Venetian on Sept. 2, 2012.

[fresh quiver]

[hasty anvil]

Phantom, vegas, 6 year and 2691 all look good, nice find 👍

[alpine junco]

wait

[heady chasm]

Dont know how to post it in "S2 Trailer Thread"but,
Anyone spot the lil glitchmun on the pinkwalkway? https://youtu.be/hVdKBnmvOLE?t=34

[alpine junco]

0/6 trailer clues found

which trailers?

6 different ones

or all 6 in one

In Game EE's: 1/XXX

XXX = 30?

[latent peak]

Here you go mate https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1216778676931399823

[young breach]

The mask from the performance also sort of looks like the phantom prospect assignment from BF4

[marble lance]

I, personally: 'likely Tokyo'

[heady chasm]

like talk to actual people, yeah im out

[solid jay]

you're doing it right now 🤯

[heady chasm]

nah ur but a figment of my schitzofrenia

[alpine junco]

so there was never an update on it?

[hasty anvil]

I’m not sure if people went back to it or not, but I don’t think it was updated

[solid jay]

fair, you got me.

[alpine junco]

cant get a clip of bugging out of monaco becuz nvidia doesnt want to work

smh

[alpine junco]

even in november it wasnt updated

december too

january even

I’m fairly certain people didn’t go back to it

[alpine junco]

#1204475718747029535 message

[mystic storm]

There is a portion of the park that you cant reach but you can interact with like set on fire

I was also looking at the directions on the compass to see which way all the cannons are pointed but they dont line up perfectly

been starring at the water on the ground alot lately for reflections

[alpine junco]

closed beta 2 trailer and s2 trailer have this

[snow walrus]

stick pieces together and collect the question ?

[velvet narwhal]

Rob mentioned that he has been waiting for weeks that we find it #1204475718747029535 message

Smoking Guns isnt 2 weeks old so it's probably not in the event right?

Or is it mor than 2 weeks old. My inner clock may be playing with me right now

[daring bluff]

i can't wait to hear how scotty and june talk about the new maps and content in the game lol

them acting shocked about the hacks might get old after a couple months💀

[bright ruin]

There's no guarantee they'll be narrating the new map. Since it takes place in the loading portion of THE FINALS, unless CNS gives them a feed to it, or they get tapped into it themselves via MultiCo, technically they can't see it

[velvet narwhal]

I can imagine the voicelines change after the first update

[bleak wharf]

CNS could be narrators

[bright ruin]

That's what I'm hoping honestly

[young breach]

Looks like the phantom mask 😄

[upper sonnet]

3 lights with swords and smoke invis, in the park during that cash out.

ezpz

[alpine junco]

G6 star, a subclass of G-class stars

idk if this has been posted

[fresh quiver]

yes

[alpine junco]

ok

i havent looked at the padlets in months

weeks even

days

[dull marsh]

7.6%, just like on the new cosmetic? something something 76 was written on it

[upper sonnet]

t3:(arrows)wps76:

was the writing

[hard forge]

yes posted and eyed

[fresh quiver]

imagine game studios doing a real life easter egg while they are on an expo/convention

[hard forge]

It would be cool, i want Embark to do it.

[young breach]

What's the timestamp of this in the season 2 trailer?

[unkempt dune]

interesting tid bit:

• You can convert letters to numbers (1-26)
• You can convert those numbers as Base10 to Base64
• You can do a Caesar Cipher shift of -1 and end up with your original letters

not sure why that is

[proud minnow]

OFC we are doing things IRL too, we are embark, expect strange things, haha ❤️

[alpine junco]

Patterns I’ve noticed so far from rob are: i, X, 3

[hushed beacon]

so theres an irl easter egg out there

i guess we got more hunting to do

[marble lance]

Easter < @proud minnow

[gloomy anvil]

It hurts, looking for EEs while my team is trying to win the game, season 2 here we come

[unkempt dune]

essentially doing a caesar shift of 1 is the same as converting some letters to base 64?

[alpine junco]

There might a couple others but idk anymore

My brain is fried

[proud minnow]

BTW I hope you guys liked the S2 trailer... (and we didn't hide much in there, since we really want you to play S1 as much as possible before we shut down the first season... ._.)

[snow walrus]

This is a meme now SORRY OSCAR

[proud minnow]

BEST EVER

[fresh quiver]

already have an idea how to implement that?

[fallen jasper]

Oscar watching in live action as I start using him as a reaction image

[snow walrus]

Scotty can say this actually lol

[alpine junco]

I was in a game of CS2 and had to throw because i wanted to watch it

Was blown away

[hushed beacon]

make him an emoji in the server

[hushed beacon]

so real i was on the way home from school

[upper sonnet]

bro throws a whole game for a 1:30 video?

unforgivable

[alpine junco]

No, just threw a round and the rest of the game so i could watch it in slow motion

[coarse dagger]

I think that's outdated... 😅

#1201288968562552863 message

we only found 1 grafitti on monaco so I don't have much hope for us

: #1201288968562552863 message

ONE.?!

: #1201288968562552863 message

Thare are like 11

[upper sonnet]

forgivable with reparations to the team then.

[alpine junco]

There are ELEVEN GRAFFITI ON MONACO

WTF

[urban pond]

we are so lost rob help a brother out

[alpine junco]

I dont even wanna know where rob put the graffiti

[urban pond]

btw idk if we have said this but the way rob ends some of his sentences (this is what i mean "... ._.") translates to SR (i think thats the name of the sniper if im not wrong) so i believe something has to do with it??

[bright ruin]

[urban pond]

for season 3 make it martial arts themed (like karate and stuff ) and add fist melee weapon

#⚡┇the-finals-chat message

that image. it also has binary / barcode on it ._.

[hard forge]

OYE
0V3

[south granite]

I don't know if anyone talked about it but in the beginning of the trailer again June's voice gets all glitchy and Scotty's voice stays consistant just like in the teasers..

[lament sparrow]

omfg, all I remember when I see Kilowatt is that one meme

[wise trout]

Definitely getting hacked That's what I'm guessing I was listening to the new trailer and Scotty's voice sounds all glitchy you slow it down just like the CNS voice

I even think the announcer sounds different in the start of the trailer maybe it's a different announcer

[lament sparrow]

Maybe Scotty was being a bit silly and switched sides

[chrome scarab]

I was saying this earlier !

No evidence but I have a hunch Scotty is involved with CNS possibly???

[south granite]

this

[lament sparrow]

I can see this theory being true, I noticed the strange announcer voice the first time I saw the trailer, and plus the fact that in the previous cutscene that we got with the smoking guns event the last line was "Just like you, Scotty"

maybe Scotty was a whistleblower since he knew how The Finals worked inside and out (since he compited and was an commentator.)

[coarse dagger]

#📕┇lore

[green turtle]

I saw people on exclusive EE thread talked about stitching images of glitches, so if anyone missed, I tried to do that earlier

[chrome scarab]

That’s a very good point

[green turtle]

I did that on Skyway Stadium, but I also looked on all glitches in Monaco and they have the same pattern

Didn't look on other maps

[coarse dagger]

Are you referring to the button on the generator?? Like in this post: #1203859365610922036 message

#1203859365610922036 message

That's just the result of the bullet damage decal
You can tell if you don't shoot it perfectly centered

Oh, or like bridge/elevator buttons?

[hasty anvil]

I think he means the buttons for bridges, etc

Release date 3.14 (pi), 360 or EGO (e=3 etc letters), I feel like there’s something about circles/geometry we’re missing

[proud minnow]

Yes working on it right now actually, haha

[green turtle]

I also tried to decode the extracted pattern into Unicode codes (more thoroughly this time) and this doesn't seem to work

It also doesn't look like a QR code, because QR codes usually have their white and black pixels more distributed. On the contrary, the extracted pattern have many consistent areas (i.e. areas with same pixels).

So, maybe we should look on pattern as a whole and don't take a 21x21 pixels frame?

It might be a very low quality image?

[hard forge]

that's iota

[snow walrus]

Idk what iota is

Ah greek letter

[hasty anvil]

Hmm but Greek Rob said wasn’t included, unless it’s an exception for formulas

[hard forge]

i = √(-1)

[dusk veldt]

Wait, what clues did Rob drop? Other than the 3 day exclusive thing?

[unkempt dune]

Stumbled upon this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DraCo and found it funny that it's related to Draco and Amiga

[dusk veldt]

Rob are you watching us right now 🤨

[hard forge]

he slept

@fallen jasper

[snow walrus]

I was about to say bottom one is like Rob's commodore gif that he sent before

With petscii chars u know

[fallen jasper]

Why would peter parker do that

is he stupid

[quaint stream]

The bridge elevator ones in the maps.

[dusky elk]

gotta say I loved the trailer n it's new tech, speaking of tech - the designs look very forign to the artstyle other gadgets got. Nice touch, retrofitting old code with new ideas.

[fresh spruce]

Here are all the frames from the trailer.
I recommend downloading a zip and then combing through them on your computer for faster/easier switching.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BilYtWtHI8qCUPFPLv24jdkFqGv-Wbcg

[dusky elk]

I also wanted to ask if other ppl noticed when the monitor head throws the gateway, his voice is bitcrushed slightly. Perhaps it's an overall effect like the event hat and it's noir shader.

Ooor I could be just reaching, like I usually do sometimes

[dusk veldt]

Is there a thread related to the three headed monkey clue thingamajig:)

[green turtle]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1211002564015824906

[slender lodge]

rob says "there seems to be.... nine-" i think

[fallen jasper]

Hi all still cooking here ? 🙂

[south granite]

Nine what?

[snow walrus]

F+V-E=2

[slender lodge]

idk he just says smth that sounds like that

my guess was that scotty is trying to sound like he's also getting hacked when he's not

so he's trying to cut words and says "there seems to be.. nine..." like there's something to full up

scotty and june both stop talking after that and only resume after all the CNS gadgets are introduced 🤔 and then they come back like they dont know what happened

[south granite]

Yea it’s very interesting to say the least

[snow walrus]

Prime numbers make spirals

[dusk veldt]

So many theories…

[brisk hearth]

You guys blew it out of the water... I've watched the trailer an unhealthy amount of times now. Please don't ever stop creating!

[brisk hearth]

diamond clue?

[snow walrus]

No just an info

[south granite]

Also that dog is back in the trailer in one of the glitches

[hard forge]

yep...you need to catch up.

[fallen jasper]

yep but i love read u every morning see what u cooked always check the TFEE Easter egg site every morning too :p

how many day since block at the t3? ^^

[turbid tinsel]

viev? maybe a hint to the password?

[fallen jasper]

Bro is desperate for that V

[dusk veldt]

I recall a V shape on a gun charm inside the new trailer🤔

It was like a monitor thing, and it was showing some words and symbols and a V shape in another scene

Ive been staring at the credits scene for an hour(im delusional, soon to be insane). Isnt it a bit weird how the Embark name is flying around in a weird path, almost like a infinity symbol but not really

[turbid tinsel]

also we can confirm what we saw in lore vid it was library related, top right here

[quaint stream]

Air raid sirens huh

[green turtle]

Checked glitch patterns on all maps and they are the same

[valid lichen]

Do we have a thread for all the glitchy squares on the maps?

[green turtle]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1212747235578609795

Thanks

[green turtle]

You're welcome

[fresh spruce]

Just checked the padlet. Carpe Diem has a relation to Virgil as well, judging by the wiki, under "related expressions". Not sure how exactly those two are connected though.

"Collige, virgo, rosas ("gather, girl, the roses") appears at the end of the poem "De rosis nascentibus"[9] ("Of growing roses", also called Idyllium de rosis) attributed to Ausonius or Virgil."

Relation to the roses, as well.
Super difficult to understand this website, but assuming the second column is translation for the poem, it mentions stars, auroras, Venus. 🤷‍♂️
https://dick.wursten.be/ausonius_rosa.htm

[quaint stream]

Anything wrecking ball related Mr. Rob sir.

[undone saddle]

Is there a (tldr) of everything we know so far?

[bright ruin]

What base10 to base64 converter (translator?) is the most reliable? I feel like the results I'm getting between a handful of them are different on each

[balmy shuttle]

Crazy theory but what if it’s not the smoking gun event Rob’s talking about and it’s the roses that are leaving?

[fresh spruce]

Has anyone tried doing stuff with the roses with a girl character model?

But 'tis well ; for though in a few days the rose must die, she springs anew prolonging her own life.
So, girl, gather the roses, while the bloom and your youth is fresh, and be mindful that so your life-time hastes away.

[unkempt dune]

so we're going to be doing private match easter egg searching when season 2 starts, right?

[autumn barn]

Why can i not post an image of something i found?

[bronze wolf]

weirdly this is what excites me most

[autumn barn]

I found some cool stuff in the trailer. Why image not work. Am i just stupid?

[green turtle]

You need to level up #👋┇welcome message

[autumn barn]

Ahh, okay. Thanks

Either way i found a glitch screen in the trailer which said

[ ONE NIGHT, THREE DAWNS. SEE THE SIGNS ]

That was after a “this broadcast has been hacked by CNS banner, with something i couldn’t make out before it.”

Others might have found this already. Probably have.

[balmy shuttle]

Yea it’s from a season one intro first and has been used since.

[autumn barn]

K. Sorry for repeat post

[balmy shuttle]

No worries figured best to answer you then have you look down something already followed.

[dusk veldt]

I was playing around with them today, not much had changed

Also we dont know if its the event, its both the glitch clusters(as rob alluded to just a couple of hours ago) and something(i think the leading theory is the three headed monkey).

[gleaming estuary]

Nope what’s that?

[dusk veldt]

Nope what?

[balmy shuttle]

Same was just playing around with them i was thinking maybe it was a reference to the press f to pay respect. But nothing i can find in the arena points to that. And yea i think you right about the monkey.

[autumn barn]

I’m new to Easter egg finding. What can be done to help and what is being worked on?

[balmy shuttle]

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

[dusk veldt]

I think whats most important right now though is the three headed monkey, most paths lead to whatever that being is

I posted some thoughts on another thread, ill send em here:

[green turtle]

#easter-eggs message

[dusk veldt]

In regards to the potential hidden cannon thingy(maybe relatef to the monkey): Theres several ways to go about the cannons. Either we need to shoot them in a sequence, the information is out there somewhere. Or we need to maje the cannons tire out? Or theres something hidden about them?

They were aimable before, they then removed this ability and i believe Rob missed this function? So maybe they are movable somehow? Intersecting the cannons on a map didnt really give any results?

What other clues? Well for one theres some very interesting new models in the new mode. Some statues are wearing hats while others arent. They are even removable? Perhaps putting them on the two lovers statues?? We have also seen hidden details faintly etched on wood before, theres alot of wood elements in the new mode aswell.

[candid basin]

I am a Japan believer. What about you?

[coarse dagger]

I mean the 3HM is unrelated to the password hunt. Prioritization is subjective, but in my opinion T3 is priority.

[dusk veldt]

Its more important because it will expire in three days and not return after. We dont really know if it is the monkey but alot of clues and hints from rob sort of hint at it

[bright ruin]

I agree that the mysterious easteregg that leaves in 3 days is relatively more important as you wont ever see it again after it's gone from what Rob said, T3 will still be here (unsovled 😭 )

I'm still working on T3 though

[green turtle]

It is not the monkey #1204475718747029535 message

[dusk veldt]

Well thats very good, but that makes it more confusing then???

[bright ruin]

Yeah not the monkey, it's the glitches and 1 other thing that we don't know

[dusk veldt]

He said ”ive been waiting for weeks”

Something of the like

[bright ruin]

it was originally just the latter, but then he was reminded that the glitches are also leaving lol

[dusk veldt]

Poor Rob:(

There were some theories regarding the glitches forming a Qr code did that ever progress?

[green turtle]

Check glitches thread

I think it is not QR

[dusk veldt]

I dont know if this is just something normal but if you shoot it a bunch as a heavy theres a ton of white smoke coming from it, if you then heavy rush it the entire screen goes white

(The glitch cluster)

[green turtle]

Yeah, I tried that once but unfortunately didn't get any smoke

[dusk veldt]

Ill check it and post it, see if its anything out of the ordinary

[green turtle]

Ok

[mystic storm]

We can pick up n the bull head with the horns and it is in the background of the loading screen.

[turbid tinsel]

pretty sure, could be wrong, but the frame with these 5 and the previous 5 are supposed to contain hints for the password for t3. under the color filter in davinci and arm positions ect looks like there are possible letters here.

screenshot doesnt really do it justice though

[gloomy anvil]

Rob mentioned there are no T3 clues in the season 2 trailer #1201288968562552863 message

[slender lodge]

is this window always a little wet

he did say there were EE's just not t3 EE's

there's something unsettling about this image for me

the bottom ones also dont have all of their shutters

oh thats cuz i destoreyd em

[turbid tinsel]

ok what about the black marks undeath them, all seem to point different directions

[coarse dagger]

I think that's just perspective

[turbid tinsel]

also probably just perspective, but that window's reflection seems more like a door and extends past the frame, left one does not

definitely something going on there

also for some reason this one time i loaded into the practice range, june didnt greet me

[mystic storm]

There are candles you can pick up in Monaco

[bright ruin]

Wrong chat

[supple thicket]

Whoops thanks for the catch

[unkempt dune]

so I've been wondering about Euler's Identity and the role it plays with as a hint to the password for Tier 3

It didn't have to be Euler's Identity. It could have been Euler's Formula or anything else related to him if it was supposed to be a hint for Euler himself

what's interesting is that you get Euler's Identity when using Euler's Formula

you get it when x = π in Euler's Formula

Euler's Identity could be hinting towards pi

the new season does come out pi day

pi is 3.14159265359 . . .

[bright ruin]

Not to derail your train of thought but, could 1064 have any other potential meaning besides relating to the asteroid?

When I asked rob earlier today about if he'd ever subtly suggest converting from base10 to base64, replied saying he liked how I was thinking. Leads me to believe I've been thinking along the right track today, I just can't figure out where I'm going wrong to progress other than 1064 meaning something other than base10 to base 64

[unkempt dune]

my initial thought about that reply was the numbers in the previous passwords potentially converting to base64 letters from base10 or something along those lines

[bright ruin]

I've been trying that all day. I'll list out my hours spent pondering and discovering potentials. I was hoping to have a more concrete direction formulated before sharing as most of it seems like it was known

[unkempt dune]

pi itself could be hinting towards a circle

that is what euler's identity is inside of from the screenshot

[solid jay]

should share what you have maybe someone else sees something that ushers your thought process along

[bright ruin]

For sure, It's just getting it all out of the head and in a way that makes sense can be hard lol

[unkempt dune]

interesting you brought this up earlier today

because there is EGO irl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Gravitational_Observatory

It was founded December 11, 2000, by the French CNRS and Italian INFN, and is headquartered near Pisa, in the commune of Cascina

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgo_interferometer EGO is related to Virgo, which is related to LIGO

[bright ruin]

To get to Tier 3, you have to start at Tier 1 and progress up.
Mirror, reflection has been heavily hinted, nodded, and themed at. My thought was to reverse the order in which the passwords occurred, with Gold and Egg being the same tier, and thus our starting point. Additional note, all passwords listed on the site are in lower case and number only... similar to the password we require for T3

So from top to bottom(assuming this is mean to be an order of operations, meaning one action applied previously can't be reapplied later in the process):

Tier 2. Gold Egg (not golden egg, this is important) is viold evivi (G=6 we assume to be a truth, so I will also be assuming other truths to meet our 5 truth quota, all may not be correct, purely speculative)

Tier 1 FED

1. F - vit3llus - our 2nd truth, e=3. Now we have viold 3vivi
2. E - cacoiii - our 3rd truth, 3=iii. Now we have viold iiivivi
3. D - 0vif0rm - our 4th truth, o=0 [potentially null]. Now we have vi0ld iiivivi

--- That concludes Tier 1 DEF, which according to the whiteboard screenshot, should have 3 truths to it, that poses a question of if these are actually the truths, and not just rules to follow, making Gold, Egg, Space, Latin, and Mirror our actual truths still, as 1 of the speculated truths resides in Tier 2. unless Tier 2 does not count as holding a "truth". If we follow that logic, then 2 truths remain in T1 ABC.

Tier 1 CBA

1. C - 5f137s2. Initially I disregarded this as a truth as it seemed irrelevant and then I noticed this may be indicating a rearranging of our current modification of "gold egg" which is vi0ld iiivivi at this point. There are 7 letters in gold egg, there are 7 characters in T1C Password. 5(four)137(six)2 This is what stumps me. Should f & s be ignored or excluded? I'm unsure. For now, I'll say to include them. That gives us iiidvilvivi0
2. B - lxxix, roman (or Latin) numerals. Coincidentally latin also aligns with lxxix. However because we got to this answer through the number 76 for gold, I interpreted this as a means to produce a numerical value in a similar fashion. Unfortunately, this is the hardest part, as the roman numerals in iiidvilvivi0 are not properly ordered. However, at this stage we can likely remove 0 as roman numerals interpret that as a blank space, leaving us with iiidvilvivi.
3. A - 1064, This is why I asked rob about if he'd ever subtly suggest converting from Base10 to Base64, his response being that he liked how I was thinking. This also make me consider previous hints, most notably 1+2+3+4+5=??? I still think this is the potential of adding up the truths to get our password, which is why I think finding out which letter from tier 1abc is not a truth will help immensely in determining if this line of thinking is correct.

That's my drastically reduced, yet still informative, wall of text process from hours of work today lmao

Oh also G=6 is base10 to base64. but it is SPECIFICALLY a capital G that results in the number 6. But since all these passwords are lowercase, it throws me for a loop. Is there any conversion process that allows a lower case g to be = to 6?

[unborn pilot]

@coarse dagger now I’m coming across 404 everywhere by simply shifting 51 vi down one.
evivi 35151 to 240404

And maybe even a older hint towards 5f137s2 if f is 15 and you write that starting as 515 -> 404.

[solid jay]

You fried my brain like an egg, I'll read this again tomorrow when I have more mental capacity lol.

I mentioned earlier that I thought G=6 was more likely G=vi and F = 6, but I could be way off.

[unborn pilot]

I’m also very interested in C but I think it’s a 3 part clue. s2 meant nothing then but then in tier E we had it a bunch of times correlating to the Saturn moon. 137 connects to golden angle & leet. While 5f I was clueless on and now I think it’s hex for either _ or 5 15

[bright ruin]

I'm heavily between c or a being our odd one out. b feels like it has to be a truth, converting from roman numerals to standard numerical values

[unkempt dune]

15 being a hint for a while is peculiar

especially with VVV

[solid jay]

Ya I like this line of thinking. One of them is a red herring, maybe.

[unkempt dune]

I still think the 404 page was the promise for this tier

[unborn pilot]

the first character we got was 015_F
Then that also showed in the 5.15.25 red dot gif name.
Then VVV started

[bright ruin]

Neither of them have clear in your face "hey do this" kinda vibes about them, i mean C does more than A if my line of thinking is correct but, yeah 1064 is throwing me for a major loop

[bright ruin]

Which 404 page is that?

[unkempt dune]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/404

it was written by rob

makes a promise

[bright ruin]

Oh additional note, I WAS able to get a palindrome of sorts

egg is iiivivi

If you apply my speculated method of tier 1c to each individual character in those roman numerals you end up with it rearranged as iviiivi

[unborn pilot]

if that the connect in that word on there I’ll laugh so hard.

“Off by 1” was a clue the entire time

[unkempt dune]

you're also going down by 1 to get 404

[unborn pilot]

And in the most simplest way to think that’s Caesar shift of 1

[unkempt dune]

rob made a comment today about base10 to base64

[bright ruin]

Where'd he mention that? I totally missed it (I think)

[solid jay]

Okay bed for me. Good luck fellas.

[unkempt dune]

it's his reply to you

[bright ruin]

Ah okay, thought he had said something else

Part of me thinks he's suggesting I've started down the right path of thinking, because he didn't 👀 anything I said to him

Not sure that he would in that case though

[unkempt dune]

I find this interesting because I noticed that doing a caesar shift down 1 can get you the same result when doing some base10 to base64 conversion: #easter-eggs message

You can convert letters to numbers (1-26)
You can convert those numbers as Base10 to Base64
You can do a Caesar Cipher shift of -1 and end up with your original letters

[bright ruin]

Rob continuing to mention F

For the record, I have attempted to Press F on the password page and the tier page, neither resulted in anything

[unkempt dune]

so technically Base10 to Base64 does some kind of shifting?

haven't actually looked into why that happens

[bright ruin]

More importantly, F=6 if shifted down -1 from G=6, and still holds true. Perhaps that's what I'm missing? Should we shift down the values somewhere in that order of operations I listed out?

[velvet thicket]

keep investigating this, weve been looking deep into the practice range in the practice range roses thread https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1203859365610922036

[fast frigate]

damn, that's cool. gonna check it out myself too

[turbid tinsel]

anyone look this over yet? #⚡┇the-finals-chat message

i mean in the post he says its his new favorite outfit, and on the pants themselves its has t3 on them

and the helmet seems to have a hidden star shapped object

[balmy shuttle]

Not sure if it went anywhere #easter-eggs message

[bright ruin]

briefly gave it a go but was too busy doing t3 leads today, hence the big write up

I didn't see anything in the image on a quick glance, but that doesn't say much

[upper sonnet]

i linked the full res earlier, i gave it a once over with the forensics but I might not be the best with it.

[eternal violet]

Have you seen this? #easter-eggs message the dimensions of the image might imply that A is the odd one out.

[bright ruin]

Hmm, could you elaborate? I'm not entirely sure I'm understanding

[turbid tinsel]

theres something written on the left side of the word season

[eternal violet]

The image dimensions are 32x546, which I think relates to tiers (a-1...f-6). However the 1 (A) is missing.

[upper sonnet]

Sorry it was the background to this image that I linked, not this one with the text. What did you use to see text next to the word season?

[bright ruin]

That's interesting actually

[turbid tinsel]

in apersolve on one of the images you can see outlines for it

and theres something hidden in the gold spots on the gun as well

[upper sonnet]

I see nothing, maybe I am blind. Can you SS and circle?

[turbid tinsel]

but who knows if its related to this teir

yea when im back on my computer

[turbid tinsel]

are you saying its supposed to be 132x546?

+2,-1 and then a -1+2 formula wise if it is like that

[eternal violet]

No, xykrotik was implying one of the tiers shouldn't be a part of forming a password. And the clue I posted might refer which tier it is.

[bright ruin]

#easter-eggs message

[turbid tinsel]

in the viold and evivi, if you convert the 3 to iii and drop the 0. we have nothing but roman numerals, and are only missing m and X

-1+2 maybe

[bright ruin]

The fact that it all converts to roman numerals is certainly what leads me to believe this is the right track, or at least close to it. Especially because "there are no coincidences"
And this certainly feels like one of those

[bright ruin]

What would we need m & x for?

[turbid tinsel]

what you mean?

like what do they represent?

[bright ruin]

I guess in this scenario yeah. not numerical value wise. Are you saying like we don't have m & x in there and we need to figure out how to add them or?

[turbid tinsel]

possibly yea

[bright ruin]

Hmmm, but for what purpose?

[turbid tinsel]

rob gave us X quite a few times so figured that is atleast relevant

[bright ruin]

OH right that's a reoccurring theme I totally forgot about

[turbid tinsel]

m i dont have an answer

chalk it up to -1

or something

[bright ruin]

Yeah agreed

[eternal violet]

The dimensions of ? images (1149x635) might also be telling which tiers are important. If you add 1s together you get 2 3 4 5 6, and 9 is the current tier.

[bright ruin]

That's peculiar

But that opens the question, how do the numbers in tier 1b need to be added? They aren't in the appropriate order so does it need to go per grouping? That's what I spent a lot of time trialing earlier

For example
iiidvilvivi could be
350065066
or
4874466 / 4874412
etc

[astral dew]

this has pprobably already been mulled over but i searched in chat and couldnt find any mention, what's this about

oh, i cant send images lol

the lettered highlight on recon senses before it's unlocked? (it's only on recon senses for me idk if it's other things too)

reads <!YVUUUVLTI<-

(vertically)

[turbid tinsel]

in regards to the map glitches, is it possible to somehow use them like the gateway grenades coming in s2? the "gateway" they open is very similar

[fallen jasper]

is there a channel about the sega chip ? .

[plucky kettle]

not that im aware of

[fallen jasper]

damn ... i see something here about a sega chip and i can't find it anymore...

and the credits in game remind me a team of hackers of dreamcast

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve_Or9nlXEA

idk if someone found it already ^^

[alpine junco]

#1178137622359593043

I think

[fallen jasper]

i'm gonna check thanks

[alpine junco]

Wait thats the Yamaha chip

[fallen jasper]

i'm pretty sure i see someone here talk about sega chip ^^

but i've don't come here since 1 month sooo little bit hard to retrieve ... ^^

[turbid tinsel]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echelon_(warez) look familiar?

check art inside it

exactly how cns coded their text files

[fresh quiver]

yeah but the ship is inside the Sega Saturn 😄

[turbid tinsel]

the text warp scroll in the video also looks similar to the text scroll in the credits also

[alpine junco]

Also the CNS file

For the music

[turbid tinsel]

yea i mentioned that above where i tagged you lol

[fallen jasper]

Yep that why i want to found all related about the sega chip ^^

[alpine junco]

Rob did say there is a higher res burrw gif btw

Not many people are in that thread so gonna state that here

He said we have to find it iirc

[turbid tinsel]

also there is an x reference

the first game the released was final fantasy X

[alpine junco]

And that there is a second set of numbers/letters in the burrw gif

[turbid tinsel]

Among the prolific warez release groups targeted by Fastlink were Fairlight, Kalisto, Echelon, Class, and DEViANCE—all of which specialized in spreading unlicensed copies of computer and console video games. Recent convictions have included members of music release groups Apocalypse Production Crew and Chromance.

[alpine junco]

Fair light

Didnt rob mention far light

[fresh quiver]

yeah. back in the days rob did artwork for fairlight iirc.

[fallen jasper]

interesting 🙂

[fresh quiver]

rob himself was part of iNSANE

[alpine junco]

Makes sense about using lowercase i

Especially in the CNS files

the i is lowercase

[velvet narwhal]

There's also the namatama with the mirror somewhere ingame

Maybe this one disappears, but i don't know why it should...

[velvet narwhal]

and also he acknowledged an unkown EE on Skyway once

[plucky venture]

0_0 we need to really look into the new trailer, rob probably put so much new leads in it lol

[alpine junco]

not much is in it

scary

[plucky venture]

PRIVATE MATCHES CONFIRMED FOR S2!!!!

[alpine junco]

horse shoes dont break on impact like other carriables

[plucky venture]

1:05 on s2 trailer

[fresh quiver]

#1216778676931399823

[alpine junco]

but they do go clip into the ground after thrown

[unkempt dune]

the post on steam makes it sound like private matches are a WIP still

private matches — for now in a feature-limited beta version ...

[turbid tinsel]

would assume it has to do with servers similar to the practice area

[unkempt dune]

you're probably limited with rule sets and stuff

I wonder if the map can be picked at least

[turbid tinsel]

that or maybe theres no actual like spectator cam yet

[velvet narwhal]

there's not much in there #easter-eggs message

[vale igloo]

Who’s the new Season 2 sponsors, at the end of the trailer in the bottom right you can see the sponsors for that season. It’s Ospuze and then another sponsor i’ve never seen before

[velvet narwhal]

Vaiiya, but we don't know anything about them yet. I think we have some cosmetics with their brand Just checked there are no cosmetics

[hard moss]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Vaiiya
Are there really sponsor gear from them? Can't remember any

[velvet narwhal]

My bad, thought the steal the spotlight cosmetics had their brand but that's not their logo...

[hard moss]

Cool, my memory didn't fail me for once! 😅

[velvet narwhal]

my memory failed me

[pale quarry]

Anyone know the exact time it drops?

[vagrant jacinth]

I wouldn’t think they’d make private matches without a spectator cam tbh. That’s a crucial part of it.

[velvet narwhal]

The devs don't even know #1204475718747029535 message

[hard moss]

Might be a dumb question, but what is the link between "1064" and "gold"? I can't find anything besides a few modern jewelers, which seems a bit far-fetched imo

Trying to find a more concrete pattern amongst the passwords and "1064" and "5f137s2" seems a bit out of place

[hidden nacelle]

the melting point of gold

[fast frigate]

wow, never thought about it that way

[hard moss]

And now I feel a bit silly... 😅

[fast frigate]

same

[fresh quiver]

but you know what 5f137s2 is right? just to be sure 😄

[alpine junco]

no becuz the valentines day event was supposed to help us with the practice range roses

[hard moss]

Yeah I know that it is Mendelevium, which is somewhat linked to gold in its production 😅

[glass sundial]

Hi, any new since yesterday ?

[rain comet]

In botany, Flowers can be notated in algebraic form iirc

[alpine junco]

2 easter eggs will be gone in 2 days

[glass sundial]

Right when S2 start, 🤔

[sand rune]

I thought only 1 ee will dissapear?

[green turtle]

#1204475718747029535 message

[alpine junco]

nope

smoking guns and the glitch clusters

[sand rune]

omg thats sad

it is the middle of the week

most ppl dont have time rn

like me

[glass sundial]

Yeah it's gonna be tight

[alpine junco]

100% the glitch clusters also relate to locations of importance

such as the glitch cluster next to the SR grafitti

one is next to a hut

and one next to a guard booth

[velvet narwhal]

Do yall think the glitch clusters will just disappear or something happens?

[sand rune]

Do we have maps with the glitches on it?

[velvet narwhal]

pinned here https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1212747235578609795

Someone allready overlayed them and tried to go to the other map where the overlay is?

[alpine junco]

#1212747235578609795

[sand rune]

I will overlay them

Where am I able to see the maps without ee markings?

[velvet narwhal]

check the maps in the wiki: https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Arenas

[sand rune]

😳

[alpine junco]

they changed the text color

it was red

[velvet narwhal]

yeah to fit new S2 theme

[alpine junco]

#51c5c5

is the color hex

[velvet narwhal]

You can add it here if you think it may be unofficial EE related https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1191470530180685895
But the wiki is fan/cm made there will be no official EE clues

[alpine junco]

oh i thought that was the official

[velvet narwhal]

It's the "official" wiki that's managed by fans

[sand rune]

Hold up

I missed something

Skywar stadium is pretty interessting tbh

It hits almost every marked point

Vegas too

[fresh spruce]

The maps were made by someone in here, no? The scale might be off.

[hidden nacelle]

someone made a layout of the new map on the reddit

[sand rune]

@unkempt dune

You made the skyway stadium map?

and the las vegas map?

[velvet narwhal]

yes he did

[solar glade]

what we did with CNS hack and now this has all been community ran - we pushed S2 style update last night. there's no reason to look for EE in the Wiki unless hinted by Rob

[sharp flame]

Well the community did an amazing job!

[velvet narwhal]

Reminder:
There are 2 EEs that will disappear with S2
#1216788595373899877 message

[quaint stream]

I wondering if the reason why the exclusive easter egg is leaving is because the mannequins will be changing for season 2?

[fresh spruce]

Did smoking guns already end? Or was it extended until S2?

[green turtle]

~1 day left

I still think there is something in the glitches pattern. Looks suspicious to me that they've made 21x21px texture for glitches.

Look at the final pattern here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JrL2ABDmK23sbOOAS-sEW4P_KA6AYXVe/view

What do you think?

[fresh spruce]

Then maybe the limited time EE is connected to smoking guns instead? What about the hats on Monaco, fits the theme.

Are the glitches there in smoking guns?

[green turtle]

Glitches are on all maps

Glitches are not related to exclusive EE, but will also end on March 14

[faint mason]

Can you send a copy of just the pixel patterned

Top or bottom of that link

Can just crop it actually ignore me

[short fable]

Could the pattern be a binary matrix? It is rather long though

[quaint stream]

I've tried clearing buildings in the cannons way. DIdn't see anything happening though?

I did notice balloons are by the cannons I think

Gonna try and cut the wires for the duck now

Ah they're oob.

[short fable]

I can't seem to match this up with any EAN / UPC code type since this begins with 2 wide lines

[cursive hawk]

Maybe binary

[short fable]

Hmm could be, altough the spaces inbetween the lines match the formatting of a UPC code.

[short fable]

Counted thick lines as 1, thin as 0, did not account the spaces. Lines are quite hard to see but I got 1111111000110010001011111100101

In ASCII: þ2/
In Windows-1252: å (which happens to be a letter originating from Sweden)

[cursive hawk]

Weird

[green turtle]

Yes, it can be interpreted like that. Pattern repeats every 21 pixel along both the x and y axes, but we don't know where the 21x21px frame should be taken. So, there is literally 21x21=441 possible frames to analyse.

I think that maybe we should look at the pattern as whole and don't take any frames

[lapis bluff]

The roses were mentioned when talking about the Battlefield shark EE. Something along the line of "if people thought the megalodon was cool imagine what we can do now 🌹 " I believe you need to do something with the roses in a certain sequence. For the Megalodon you have to go to a tower get struck by lighting, then shoot this little light and a ufo would come down shining it's light on the Megalodon. That being said it could be complicated and may have visual clues depending on your position.

[hard forge]

roses is definitely related to a mega -EE #easter-eggs message

just noticed, it looks like he is standing with a bike between his legs.

holding handle bars

btw

cohost in the game is spelled CoHost as in Company Host

Do we have any leads regarding this clue???

[alpine junco]

Red Rock Canyon
Situated among some starry skies and dark mountains, it's one of the best places in Las Vegas to get a view of the night sky.

[inland hemlock]

maybe something about the "Walk of Stars", do we have any stars tiles in game?

[copper sequoia]

Wish there was a way to search by reaction emojis from a specific user in discord. Feels like there are eyes that got buried that haven't gotten added to the Google sheet.

[inland hemlock]

are we too focused on looking at the sky rather than where we walk? 😔

[dusk veldt]

Did we get anywhere with this clue?

[alpine junco]

it isnt a clue

[dusk veldt]

Lead i mean, wrong wording

[inland hemlock]

what if he wasn't talking about stargazing? maybe the constellation is composed by lights or something

[dusk veldt]

Yeah its most likely not star gazing but probably objects in a certain pattern

[fresh spruce]

Las Vegas walk of stars? In the ground, one the sidewalks or smth?

[inland hemlock]

Glamora was looked at a couple of times

i wonder if the dots on the sign are hiding a pattern...

iirc the tail of Ursa Minor is the north star, and you find that using the Ursa Major's head star, Dubhe

I think we run a script to search for the eyes. So I think no eyes are missing.

Didn't run it for some time bit planned to run it when i got home

Isnt it weird that the only maps with cannons are monaco and skyway, and the fact that there is only a single one in Skyway

The last updated time is on the name of the tab. And if someone wants it updated just tell me

[inland hemlock]

about cannons, i was trying to find something regarding the cannon sequence theory, got nothing yet, it reminded me of the button sequence from bf4

[dusk veldt]

Same here, there has to be a sequence

I did stumble upon something weird with the cannons recently though…

I dont know if im being crazy or not but if you hold a cannnistwr while standing in front of one and then shooting. The cannon almost moved? I dont know if im misremembering this but it looked like it

[inland hemlock]

mmmmh we should see if it's repeatable and isn't a simple game bug

[sour needle]

just a question on the start of a map the also speak a sentence in the language from the land the map comes from what do they say in skyway?

I think its just korean?

I dont know if i was already found but on the jump pad in the practice range are some text and numbers on it

[snow walrus]

i started to think white question image is about space

hunter instincts 😄

[unique spruce]

They all have that just like the yellow boxes, containers, walls

[mystic storm]

cannons also have numbers on them

and initials

[hasty anvil]

Just had a thought, maybe calcium light spectrum, Northern lights, Pink Floyd's 'Dark side of the Moon' album cover might all be connected

to prisms, spectrums, that kind of thing

ZX Spectrum too

Spectrum means 'image' in latin, spectres have links to satin or '666'

electromagnetism we've had some connections as well, which is also a spectrum

The spectrum rabbit hole goes deep

[snow walrus]

Its like there is a light source up there and makes shades around the question

[bright ruin]

I should mention, if we mirror each of the tier two passwords and follow my speculated process #easter-eggs message

We have dl0vi viviiii which gives us vivivi = 666

vivivi, vvv, 666

[dusk veldt]

Wait where are the Numbers?

I know SR is written on them

[snow walrus]

and this keeps reminding me the ray of light on the Feast of the Annunciation

[mystic storm]

28-7

[dusk veldt]

Yeah but where on the cannon

[mystic storm]

Near the back of the barrel

I bet there are time crunches trying to be met right now and we might only get the hints 2 hours before switchover .

[gloomy anvil]

did we ever mention the "question mark" captured by the James Webb Telescope?

[bright ruin]

I did
And was told it was "too recent"

[gloomy anvil]

actually nvmd that was August 2023

[bright ruin]

yeah lol

[spare sentinel]

I came here to suggest this. I see that you guys found that the base64 doesn't cleanly decode to ASCII, but have we tried to translate it into opcodes/CPU instructions?

[dusk veldt]

Ive been checking the discord every 10 mins to see if a Rob will appear, but still nothing😔

[dull marsh]

Busy with S2 preps probably

[dusk veldt]

Nah hes gone home for the day most likely, most people in sweden finished like 2-3 hours ago

Not saying that it's the case but wouldn't be surprising at all

[dusk veldt]

I keep seeing this weird shape in the trailers, i saw it in the season 1 trailer and the new one i dont know what it could mean

It almost looks like a dragon or something

oh you replied to it too, maybe before it was eyed.

[naive rover]

good morning

[snow walrus]

We Are C64
We Are Amiga
We Are Demo

We Are CNS

[upper sonnet]

whatchu cooking?

[spare sentinel]

Unfortunately it doesn't look like this pans out. The disassembly of the base64-decoded data results in some valid 6502 instructions, mixed in with invalid opcodes, mostly just garbage.

[upper sonnet]

there are a few letters/numbers we are having trouble Identifying, O's and 0's, There may be a Q that we have as an O and I believe I and l could be mixed up on some. If there was a way to validate based on what MIGHT be messed up that would be cool.

[spare sentinel]

I'll take a look at the pics, and maybe run every potential solution through the base64 decoder and disassembler

Another possible variable, I don't know if the decoded data should be interpreted as little or big endian format. The 6502 processor is little-endian, but that doesn't necessarily mean the data is presented in that way

(big-endian is a byte-reversal of little-endian representation, could be thought of a mirror image of the bytes/words in the hex data, and I see mirrors have been referenced a bit)

[dull marsh]

We have some big leads that need to be connected somehow, I think we should unfocus a little bit the 5 truths

• LIGO (gravity waves)
• Nobel (medal)
• Stars/Binary Stars/Neutron stars
• C64/Amiga/PETSCII
• Euler
• Spectrum: Aurora Borealis + Calcium Spectral lines + 'Dark side of the Moon' Album cover + ZX Spectrum + Rainbows (as suggested by @hasty anvil )

[hasty anvil]

We have 50-60 hints for this tier, but we haven't connected the hints in the right way, I think we need to think of some more out the box connections

Aurora Borealis + Calcium Spectral lines + 'Dark side of the Moon' Album cover + ZX Spectrum + Rainbows

These all link to Spectrums

[coarse dagger]

All of that is on the actual cannons in IRL Monaco:

man rob said there were no clues in the s2 trailer but i swear i found some connections from the map that might relate

[alpine junco]

CR

[turbid tinsel]

is it really a coincidence?

I was looking up the sphere in the map

didnt find the exact but came across this page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_Within_Sphere

Sphere Within Sphere (Sfera con sfera)

versions of it are all over

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

and came across this

[hard forge]

ahh you were searching for the location of the SYS horizon.

[turbid tinsel]

paul klee reference

97, 79 reverse

[hasty anvil]

Interesting, first 144 digits of Pi sum to 666

[turbid tinsel]

pi also related to circles

or maybe in other words a shpere

[hasty anvil]

maybe planet related

S2 being released on 3.14 just seems like too big of a coincidence

William Jones was the one who used Pi originally, another William

[fresh spruce]

Olin Eggen
Gas Clouds, Clusters, Milky Way 🤔 The clusters are what stand out the most
"He is best known for a seminal 1962 paper with Donald Lynden-Bell and Allan Sandage which suggested for the first time that the Milky Way Galaxy had collapsed out of a gas cloud. He pioneered the now-accepted notion of moving groups, and introduced the idea that these may originate from dissolved open clusters."

[hasty anvil]

Just found a supercomputers ( unused t2 clue) link to pi, they stress test supercomputers by making it calculate pi

[dull marsh]

That looks exactly like how orbits through time are illustrated

[hasty anvil]

Also the solar system tattoo in game as well

[dull marsh]

I know it's been shown before but maybe not with the relation with Euler

[hasty anvil]

The 5 constants of Euler's identity are; 1, 0, Pi, e and i (meaning imaginary number)

[alpine junco]

the canons on monaco irl dont have an H

watch some Monkey Island gameplay and see what's with the cannons

maybe we can be throwed by cannons lol

[hasty anvil]

a cannon is a kind of smoking gun lol, ig the gamemode was to help us queue Monaco more

[alpine junco]

"The term "smoking gun" is a reference to an object or fact that serves as conclusive evidence of a crime or similar act, just short of being caught in flagrante delicto. "Smoking gun" refers to the strongest kind of circumstantial evidence, as opposed to direct evidence."

Shove your light in the cannon

theres a monkey island puzzle where you have to stab/poke a statue to make it leak water and then use a cup of water on another statue or something like that

have we tried any passwords for a william yet?

was thinking something like M!11!4VV but do we have any similarites for a last name? maybe bell?

[bright ruin]

what happened to only lowercase letters and numbers?

[turbid tinsel]

i was just doing that for visual clarity

[bright ruin]

yeah but "!"

[turbid tinsel]

ok but we did just get

so maybe its a shift key or something in ascii or petscii

but this goes back on his former statement? I swear every day it's a new way the password can be written 😭 I can't keep up

[dusk veldt]

When was this

[turbid tinsel]

earlier today

and william is pretty common

[bright ruin]

"Today at 6:31PM" is what the SS says

[turbid tinsel]

and bell has seemed pretty common

[bright ruin]

I agree bell is probably the right direction, "You can hear a bell from here" with that one image

And Bell as the last name of the non-Nobel winner, etc

do you want lore or EE?

either

pretty funny article about big eggs, please enjoy the read Rob

[lapis moat]

When Steal the Spotlight was on I was obsessed with trying to figure out what the heist was, who did the heist, the welding helmet and welder, all of it. Never figured out any clues. "Smoking Guns" as a title heavily implies leading evidence in a crime, and the only crime we know about is the heist. So what happened when we stole a shitload of money as a community during this seemingly unsanctioned cowboy event? They gave everybody another welding mask.

just to add to the lil discussion on the name

[shrewd fog]

from this Rob message: #1204475718747029535 message
t = 7, e = 3, i = !, a = 4, l = 1, s = 5. and we know g = 6.

[bright ruin]

I still don't see how i=! when he said it's all lowercase and numbers 😭 which one is it Rob

Like I understand in that stentence it's i=! but for the password, I don't think so unless we've been duped

[mystic storm]

I am looking for in game sound triggers. What if we have to dislodge the craneball everytime before we do anything with the cannons?

[velvet scroll]

that ! looks like a flipped i, maybe the i is reversed on in the opposite spot or something

[turbid tinsel]

ascii chart for "!" might be more relevant

[bright ruin]

You think we should be considering binary? Not ASCII?

I read somewhere that we thought the password is confirmed to be in latin?
I know we don't "truly" know but man this is confusing

[turbid tinsel]

i think binary is more or less to words

im thinking more towards petscii

idk much about it, but say i wanted lower case e, would it be 405?

[bright ruin]

I'm not quite sure that's how petscii works? I'm trying to figure it out myself tbh

[hard current]

silly idea it’s late but

1064 - base 64

lxxix (79) - conversion to roman numerals

5f137s2 (51372) - unsure

0vif0rm (00) - o=0 or remove 0/o

cacoiii (3) - 1 = i ?

vit3llus (3) - e=3

viold (6) - g=6=vi

evivi(66) - g=6=vi

take all the rules above, apply it to something

[bright ruin]

I broke this all down the other day #easter-eggs message

[hard current]

I think we have to apply it all to something, my only thought with 5f137s2 is to do base 64 on it, it = w

[bright ruin]

found the message

[hard forge]

this is what we were missing the last time we were close #easter-eggs message

[hard current]

?

[hard forge]

sorry, i misread the message he replied to

[bright ruin]

It is funny you say this though because searching earlier, it seems like this may have been the closest we've actually been. I'm only linking to Rob's reply but if you scroll up you see the 1 from devx and 2 in a row that Smashel got eyes on. TO me, Rob's comment implies that if Smashel just kept going, or put maybe one of those in as a password, we'd be done. Very loose interpretation though #easter-eggs message

devx:

and LIGO that detects gravity waves from the collisions of binary systems. so, binary pulsars

Smashel:

Jocelyn Bell Burnell and LIGO both have the Nobel Prize in Physics in common

which is a medal made of gold

Rob:

Please just write the next password when you are on the roll, so we can move on to future levels, haha... ._.

[unkempt dune]

Okay, hear me out about this

Nobel Prizes are accolades

Knights are dubbed and that's an accolade https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accolade

I speak of knights because of that one sticker

[hard forge]

so is the civic crown

[unkempt dune]

that is too

there's also a company called Accolade that made C64 games I believe

[bright ruin]

there was, that's right

[unkempt dune]

one was called Star Control, which could relate to the Season 2 star in that one dude's hand

[bright ruin]

There isn't anything for T3 in the s2 trailer though rob said

[unkempt dune]

he doesn't have it in the S2 trailer

[inland hemlock]

1984 comes up again btw, ACCOLADE c64 was founded in that year

[unkempt dune]

he does have a star, but no star in his hand

it could also be a coincidence he has a star

doesn't need to be related to Accolade

[bright ruin]

Ahh yeah that's true

But still the star being in the trailer, and nothing in the trailer being for t3, means star =/= t3

Even though he's holding a separate star in the standalone image

[unkempt dune]

you can believe that, but it doesn't mean it's true

[bright ruin]

How? If nothing in the s2 trailer is for t3, why would a star elsewhere, that is the same star, different location, not apply in trailer as being for t3?

[unkempt dune]

stars are common

just because one is in the trailer doesn't mean it's not related to T3

[bright ruin]

Yes, but it's the same star

[unkempt dune]

I'm not saying trying to say this star is related Accolade right now. All I'm trying to say is that you can't cross out star because there's one in the S2 trailer

space is one of the 5 truths

stars are in space

[bright ruin]

Yes, I know how space works

but it's the same star

[unkempt dune]

yeah

not sure what you're trying to say

I'm not saying trying to say this star is related Accolade right now.

it could also be a coincidence he has a star

[bright ruin]

Yes, but if you're not saying that, I don't know why the star is of importance to solving T3

I believe that is of importance past tier 3, and you're certainly viewing it correctly as meaning something

I just can't help but feel we keep searching for clues in new stuff, but there's a lot undiscovered in stuff we have already

And ultimately, running in a circle

[unkempt dune]

anyway, Accolade is a company that made C64 games

Accolade can be related back to Nobel Prizes, Civic Crowns, and Knights

[bright ruin]

Nobel Prize is a double clue though yeah? Space & gold

Just asking for clarification sake

[unkempt dune]

nobel prize came from space-related clues

[bright ruin]

I guess technically also latin

Only thing missing from nobel prize is mirror and egg clue wise?

I considered the ig nobel, that's sorta like "egg", "Ig"

[hard forge]

other latin phrases which are not aphorisms are

• in omni scientia
• patientia est virtus

[bright ruin]

Ig Nobel being awarded to the australian researchers who discovered how to unboil an egg

I also found this guy named Louis Kervaran who got an Ig Nobel in Physics in 1993 for discovering the calcium, which is CaCo3 in this case, in chickens' eggshells is created by a process of cold fusion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corentin_Louis_Kervran

He's named the "ardent admirer of alchemy"

you probably can put that in https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1204475718747029535

[hard forge]

btw do you both have access to edit Padlets? @unkempt dune @bright ruin

[unkempt dune]

uh, I don't think so?

[bright ruin]

I do not

is there a better way to zoom out on padlet besides page zoom? I find it rather inconvenient to navigate lol

[turbid tinsel]

ive referenced lg nobel awards a few times and got no looks as far as i know

[hard forge]

i am not aware of if there is one.

[turbid tinsel]

so many people hard to know if there is one or not

Padlet really needs a dot node for organizing connections

there is a site similar to padlets that has cool zoom features

Rob uses Miro

[hard forge]

which one

[turbid tinsel]

this was provided to me from another EE hunter awhile back and thought it looked super cool. https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVNfZ3orM=/

this one has notes they took on it

you just scroll wheel zoom in and oout

click and drag features also

[bright ruin]

Padlet not having a zoom feature is what annoys me the most
seconded by no proper click to drag

[turbid tinsel]

idk if any of their previous notes would help but they had a decent amount before they stopped searching

also if it doesnt show anything, your not zoomed in far enough

[bright ruin]

This is leagues easier to navigate just with the zoom and click drag alone

[turbid tinsel]

from their notes maybe gold in basic 64 is what we need since it served as the start up "shell" like egg

[turbid tinsel]

yea i loved it but i think alot of people thought the link was spam
