#1203859365610922036

Frederick II called Euler "cyclops" due to having lost his right eye

That's a link to roman mythology, could be deeper than that

He was discussing the newly discovered planet Uranus and its orbit when he collapsed and died of brain hemorrhage

[warped prism]

anyone know why the $ in sys$horizon is where it is

Or what sys means

[cloud wyvern]

i assumed system

$ is likely reference to string variables from PETSCII

[worthy nimbus]

If you were a math guy you'd understand that anything math-related, could be named after Euler. The man did everything under the sun, and the only reason there aren't more things named Euler's X is that we ran out of X's to name after him

[feral lagoon]

That's the problem i have with euler...
Even if though there might not have any euler reference if you look for those, you can always find some

It s pretty much like looking after Arabic numerals references

Pretty much everything lead towards them

[daring bluff]

is there a thread about speculation about what real-life location sys$horizon is based on?

[worthy nimbus]

on older windows systems, any process named sys$[name] was considered a system program and would benefit from protections like not appearing in task manager and not being debugable. this is part of the techniques used by sony in the rootkit scandal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal

However this is probably just "here is a computer-related flair", I doubt it is a ref to this

Since $ is heavily used in a lot of programming languages to denote variables etc

[fresh quiver]

i think he eyed that it meant the SYS command from the C64

[worthy nimbus]

Definitely not what i said then

[velvet narwhal]

He eyed SYS 64738 but that wasn't related to the map #1204573219894468648 message But also think that the SYS command is meant and it's supposed to load the HORIZON map

[civic hornet]

Has Euclids perfect number theory been investigated? Also has anyone considered the fact that brackets kinda look like eggs ()

[worthy nimbus]

Beyond the following:
6 is a perfect number
Euler is involved (surprise)
It doesn't seem that relevant

[dull marsh]

Then maybe we should approach Euler's identity differently

• it's his legacy

• his masterpiece

Something like that?

Because he made a lot of stuff, but the Euler identity is the single piece that represents the best his contribution to maths and science

Could we consider that his "signature"?

Just like with LIGO we detect the signature of a merger

Also Nobel created the Nobel Prize as his legacy

Paul Klee left a great legacy

Might be leading us back to Tron with Tron Legacy

[worthy nimbus]

Klee also was literally identified from his signature

You're right that there is definitely a theme of legacy, but also consider that for most things, if we're to identify them by something it's gonna be by the signature/legacy/most important thing

[dull marsh]

The signature seems to fit really well!!

The first real Easter egg was the dev's signature, because they weren't getting credited

The "ready." is the signature of C64

Just like SYS 64738

On 27 November 1895, at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris, Nobel signed his last will and testament and set aside the bulk of his estate to establish the Nobel Prizes

Your egg is literally your legacy

Your fortune is part of it too

Signature in latin is.... Signature

The signatures of the JPG format are FF D8 FF EE (ÿØÿî) or FF D8 FF E0 (ÿøÿà)

[fresh quiver]

An Egg is kind of a legacy too.

[dull marsh]

The Amiga is the legacy of the C64

[fresh quiver]

Nobel prize is also an kind of Legacy.
Even if it wasnt done by Nobel himself

[dull marsh]

Is software when something is old we talk about legacy software or legacy code

[dull marsh]

Yeah but he didn't want the bad stuff related to explosives to be his legacy, hence why he created the Nobel Prizes

There are a few ones related to Amiga or C64, but I didn't see anything relevant for now https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures

The casing of the Amiga 1000 has on the inside the signature of 53 Commodore employees

Jay Miner was project manager (Miner makes me think of Miner~va~ clue with last two numbers scratched)

Mitchie (or Mitchy) was his dog that had her own employee badge

Dave Morse, president of Amiga Inc, interesting name 🤔

There are 3 unidentified signature

One of them is inverted (mirrored)

Ooo, Jay Miner and Larry Kaplan co-founded Amiga Inc

He is considered the father of the Amiga

Demos in the demoscene sense began as software crackers' "signatures"

Also in 1985, a large, spinning, checkered ball—casting a translucent shadow—was the signature demo of what the hardware was capable of when Commodore's Amiga was announced.

Video game companies with demoscene members on staff included Digital Illusions, Starbreeze, Ascaron,[44] 49Games, Remedy, Techland, Lionhead Studios,[45] Bugbear, Digital Reality, Guerrilla Games, and Akella.
I might be aware of one... 👀

[fresh quiver]

CNS! 😮 jk

[granite bough]

Was cns originally in Seoul?

[hard forge]

Europe

jk,

[granite bough]

I mean easterEgg in Seoul

[hard forge]

I was joking

[bright ruin]

Good thing I said I wasn’t a math guy then 😭 his work in math makes it real hard to draw a clear connection

[bright ruin]

It’s his Magnum Opus? (Not really but just playing into the theme you were going off of)

[hard forge]

yes very much

[granite bough]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/774869803722211331/1220356607876010145/-_Clipchamp_5.mp4?ex=660ea4a8&is=65fc2fa8&hm=58cc90f059d69c9fe9cc4cc577cb9c288ec86688fd03b551db30f12e141a09f4&

[hard forge]

@granite bough I don't understand what you mean.

[granite bough]

I am sorry for my bad English 😦

[dull marsh]

No problem, just try to explain a bit more what you're talking about

CNS is part of the lore
Main Easter Egg on Seoul is the white rabbits which is weakly tied to the lore (S LIES)

There are the white #1212747235578609795 which are linked to CNS on all maps

The glitches on the screen you're showing might be part of CNS hacking into the game, not sure if it was like that before or not tho

[velvet narwhal]

I think this vaiiya billboard was always in seoul but I am unsure if it always flickered like that

[hard forge]

@granite bough Meanwhile check out pinned messages for in game EEs we know of. Maybe you might spot some.

[sand crest]

Someone mentioned that all previous passwords were symmetrical - except for "vit3llus" and "1064". Maybe this is a clue that we can put an extra "i" in the middle of it? #easter-eggs message

mlxiv or 10i64

ix3foioi

[hard forge]

maybe "i" is in the password

so we don't have to change i to 1

maybe

[sand crest]

or space is i

[dull marsh]

Wait, how are ANY of the passwords symmetrical?!

[sand crest]

(space = i => i = eye => open your eyes => open your spaces (?))

[sand crest]

they have a middle

[dull marsh]

Yeah but there is no symmetry

[sand crest]

they arent palindromes you mean

[dull marsh]

I guess?

Idk symmetry means you can mirror something and it looks the same

[sand crest]

Rob's eye was on "thgir i ereht" where it's symmetrical

well, what's the correct word for it? ._.

[dull marsh]

I guess they have an odd number of letters?

They have a central letter

[sand crest]

and when they don't, we can put an "i" in the middle (?)

[hard forge]

was that i clue for monkey?

[sand crest]

but idk why those specific words.. it could have been anywhere else in his sentence

[hard forge]

What button "I" do in game?

[sand crest]

it's not bound to anything.. i looked it up back when that message was posted

maybe you're right and it has to do with the monkey.. although mirrors have to do with both T3 and the monkey 🙉

[sharp sentinel]

And here i was thinking I had caught up on most things. Can anyone link me to the monkey stuff? (Whatever it is)

[worthy nimbus]

Sorry for asking but I'm on mobile and it sucks. Can anyone give me the decoded 71.72... (the image filename), I can't find it

[sand crest]

it's an in-game event that happens once every xxxxx, lasts yyyyy (or 132 minutes) and a 3 headed monkey appears in any map while zzzzzz

[sand crest]

also: #easter-eggs message

[dull marsh]

#1211002564015824906

[sand crest]

wait im confused.. is the monkey always active in Monaco, but on all maps during the event?

[fresh quiver]

tbh. we dont know exactly how it works

[solid jay]

I think the monkey is always active, we aren't 100% certain though.

[sand crest]

they can be seen during an event that we don't yet know when it happens and how long it lasts.. on all maps

but maybe it's always active in Monaco

[solid jay]

I believe the timeframes he gave us means there might be a higher chance to spot them.

[sharp sentinel]

Has anyone actually seen the monkey?

[solid jay]

It could also correlate to cardinal directions or map coordinates?

[hard forge]

no, the finals mouse pad is still up for the grabs

[sand crest]

i just searched for the word monkey and went through 15 pages.. nobody has said anything about seeing one.. maybe "2 people have seen it" means you need 2 people doing something together to see it

[sharp sentinel]

It could be a metaphorical monkey, linked to the 🙈🙉🙊 thing

[sand crest]

like throwing the cashbox back and forth like monkeys?

[hard forge]

its a hand drawn monkey 100%

[sharp sentinel]

Become a monkey for 123 minutes

[solid jay]

There was lots of discussion about the monkey being behind your field of view because it's used as a distraction in the monkey Island games

[worthy nimbus]

One person must turn off their screen, one must have audio to 0 and the last one must disable voice chat

[acoustic canyon]

Rob confirmed that 3 people have actually seen it, but didn't recognize it as anything special so didn't take a clip of it or anything

[hard forge]

Rob, Esjborn and ?

[sharp sentinel]

How would he know the exact monkey viewer count? I guess he made the game so he implemented a monkey detector detector

[acoustic canyon]

I would search for the message but mobile discord doesn't let me search for rob

[solid jay]

Could just be internal people that have noticed it.

[acoustic canyon]

#easter-eggs message

[hard forge]

Tilleby

[acoustic canyon]

Found it

[bright ruin]

There’s a whole thread for monkey talk

[hard forge]

yeah

[solid jay]

I wish the threads tab had a search bar filter 😭

[solid jay]

I hate to say it maybe we should make a fresh thread for T3 discussion and a second thread for T3 facts.

[bright ruin]

Facts exists somewhere

#1194001777452929154

Found it

[hard forge]

#1211002564015824906

[hard forge]

this was my first request when I joined.

[solid jay]

Okay excellent and yeah no discussion there

I read through everything in this channel from overnight, so far I need to go over it again and compile my thoughts on it.

I was thinking about what would be considered Euler's golden egg. His most prized possession or findings.

[fresh quiver]

the problems on Threads is that The Hive Mind is not working well in Threads.
We should stay in main unless we have big clues to put into the theads maybe

yes. its harder to read here. But we have too many threads splitted into everything.
It just stops the Hivemind from working

[solid jay]

Ya that's entirely true. We splinter the hive. That's probably more damaging.

[fresh quiver]

We should just outsource things where we are certain its big enough to make an own thread for like Image analysis.

But discussions should maybe happen here because hive mind.

[hard forge]

And eyes

[bright ruin]

Guys please, no discussion in the facts thread, I thought we just agreed on this

[solid jay]

Ya we immediately cleaned it after explaining

[fresh quiver]

damn. reading that L2 T3 facts again i feel like I made a timetravel to around 3 months ago.
The time when we weren't crazy

[hard forge]

and I realised we are still stuck there T_T

[acoustic canyon]

Nothing has changed

[fresh quiver]

we went crazy. that changed. we had a clear mind in the beginning of the Tier.
We went through so many breadcrumbs and clues, and a big bunch of rabbit holes

[hard forge]

Hmm what do these guys do here?
I have seen that RHB video maybe I could find something,

Oh so gold egg and Latin...
Seems easy... ovum aureum,
That should be it, I shall solve it in a week.

[solid jay]

Okay okay let's stop romanticising the time before we lost our minds lol back on track.

[hasty anvil]

This might be interesting to read. It touches on a few things we've had hints about.

36, 72 and the 108 degrees which are of course the angles inside the Golden Isosceles Triangle.

"Our concern here is with the Golden Egg of Creation and how its measurements approximate the Golden Phi Ratio (1:1.618)."

[solid jay]

Yeah this after reading stuff this morning. Plus seeing that Phi symbol everywhere was particularly intriguing.

Haven't finished reading this one, but the intro paragraph touches on Egypt and looks like space and creation are mentioned

http://www.interferencetheory.com/Articles/files/19ed8d97f4ae05012cc0783efad2756f-26.html

[worthy nimbus]

So uh

Apparently never mentioned, but they have made golden tamagotchis

https://www.reddit.com/r/tamagotchi/comments/16x6l92/golden_v4/

And obviously tamagotchis = egg, and this makes nama tama fit into all of this somehow

[bright ruin]

There's the namatama tamagotchi in game

[worthy nimbus]

Well, yes, my 800 coins had to go soemwhere

[bright ruin]

LOL

[solid jay]

Tamago = egg in Japanese. Tama just refers to the shape I believe.

Yeah Tama just means round, circular.

[worthy nimbus]

I just assumed namatama was a tamagotchi mascot fully

[solid jay]

Nama refers to alive or uncooked

[worthy nimbus]

Raw eggs

[solid jay]

So namatama would basically be raw egg or living egg

Because nama can also mean life energy

It's a context based language lol

[worthy nimbus]

Probably living, though the gun charm sometimes shows it being cooked by flames (I don't think it's actually when you're on fire but I don't look at my gun charms when on fire )

[solid jay]

Namatama apparently translates to hit

But nama tama translates to first name

Somehow auto detect changes my language settings on google lol

[worthy nimbus]

I'll never forgive the japanese.jpeg

hello egg hunters

[fresh quiver]

sup

[gusty finch]

how's the search

[twilit forge]

It hurts

[gusty finch]

I know swerly... I know

[fresh quiver]

which search? This is the insanity channel 😄

[worthy nimbus]

Question: for previous passwords, how certain were you guys that what you had was a password

[solid jay]

This could be promising to find the high-res version of burrw

[worthy nimbus]

Because we keep surfacing information but nothing that could be a password

[fresh quiver]

i stumbled across this when i just googled "c64 golden ratio"

[gusty finch]

lmao

[fresh quiver]

everything could be a password what has todo in some kind of goldenegg.

Take a look at #1175206999802249307

The passwords from other tiers were found by chance.
Some were easier some not

[worthy nimbus]

I'm not currently at my PC or I would.

[velvet narwhal]

I don't think they added EEs where you need a keyboard: #1178137622359593043 message

(but it wouldn't be fair to the console players so I skipped this... BUT happy that you found this..!!! )

[fresh quiver]

Im really finding strange things when not even hunting...

Just looked at the cornell box as someone found a reference in SYS$HORIZON for that.
There is a version of the Cornell Box with yellow walls instead of white...

White walls is the Standard Cornell box...
But its yellow when it would be yellow when the Standard Cornell Box is rendered with POV-Ray

POV-Ray has a connection to Amiga.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POV-Ray

[velvet narwhal]

There's a cornell box on the Horizon map?

[fresh quiver]

https://imgur.com/a/3cFeZQR

apparently?

[velvet narwhal]

Cool!

[fresh quiver]

Sauce for the finding (from @random pawn): #📕┇lore message

[velvet narwhal]

Do we know any other small EEs on that map?

[worthy nimbus]

will try when i get the update

didn't SR mention something about alt+f4 not helping?

[hard forge]

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

[worthy nimbus]

or is this just the sysxxxx sticker text?

[alpine junco]

So thats what it is

[worthy nimbus]

i find the presence of that goo canister extremely suspicious

[alpine junco]

I 100% thought it was this

[worthy nimbus]

because a cornell box is supposed to be closed on all sides including behind the camera, so that's why they put the goo canister there?

[alpine junco]

Close the room while in it

🤔

[worthy nimbus]

need to get in sys$horizon first

btw new update allows private games to pick the map

[narrow sentinel]

anyone know if I can/how to create a separate thread for an off topic puzzle that might use some image manipulation?

[worthy nimbus]

what's the puzzle?

[hard forge]

i think maybe you should be of a certain level to create a thread here, others can create one for you if you want.

[narrow sentinel]

there's like 7 of them

the puzzles are apart of the Masquerade 2024 Tribute hunt, which are a bunch of "armchair treasure hunts"

[bright ruin]

So this isn't THE FINALS related?

[narrow sentinel]

no

[worthy nimbus]

make a discord?

[narrow sentinel]

easter egg related?

[bright ruin]

This is not a general easter egg chat

this is for THE FINALS easter eggs

[worthy nimbus]

i think we have enough ester eggs with the finals here

[hard forge]

[narrow sentinel]

ok, just checking

I wonder how many more months this will take... ._.

[alpine junco]

Hi Rob!

[dawn coral]

Welcome to hell

[proud minnow]

Hi all.!

[fresh quiver]

other ee discords have a misc-ee chat. but thats not the point I think.

You donated atleast 19$ to participate there. i dont know if it would be correct to share things that are hidden behind a "paywall" even if you cant name it so

[narrow sentinel]

a new puzzle could provide a refreshing take

[proud minnow]

I created hell...

[hard forge]

We missed you 😭😭

[hushed beacon]

wha...

[bright ruin]

I'll be real with you, if we wanted a new puzzle, we'd go elsewhere

[proud minnow]

It's been fantastic so far, nice to have some light viability! awesome change with the glitches.

[alpine junco]

Powershift on all maps would be amazing tho

[proud minnow]

Have you found any new EE's....?

[hushed beacon]

are we going to skip the fact that he said he "created hell" 🧐

[fresh quiver]

is the cornell box considered as one?

I found a 3 headed monkey on Monaco, want to guess how i found it Rob? 👀

[hard forge]

Cornell box?

[hasty anvil]

Have you been keeping up Rob or been too busy?

[fresh quiver]

well. in fact he did. There is no sanity here no more

[hard current]

Is rob in here slandering us with how long this has taken

[dawn coral]

dude is taunting us.

[worthy nimbus]

yes

[proud minnow]

No I would never

[fresh quiver]

yes

[worthy nimbus]

what do you think the memo mayhem bundle is

[alpine junco]

I think if we cant find the 5th rabbit with 9 people for the past 3 days it is hell

[fresh quiver]

maybe? maybe not?

[proud minnow]

Yup, that's my handwriting... ._.

[worthy nimbus]

literally has THIS and a big arrow pointing to euler's identity

[hard current]

there’s a LOT of stuff that seems relevant to what we look for, but I also am at a point that I can’t tell at all what is and isn’t for this tier ://

[proud minnow]

HAHA YES

[sharp sentinel]

A small hint

[dawn coral]

I'm certain the last WR is using invisibility.

[sharp sentinel]

Just a big arrow, yknow

Subtle

[proud minnow]

Been very busy TBH, we did SO MUCH for S2...

[fresh quiver]

he is just telling us: here you are not done with it

[hard forge]

Saint Rob please check out #1204475718747029535 when you get time 🙏

[proud minnow]

Will do.!

[alpine junco]

Also Rob there has been some talk in #1204573219894468648

[proud minnow]

BTW I did mention that we now have EE's that you need to activate... right....?

[alpine junco]

I think so

[sharp sentinel]

Trying to play ranked and watch rob at the same time

[hasty anvil]

Cannons?

[alpine junco]

The cornell box?

[fresh quiver]

now? they were not in before?

[dawn coral]

like the Phantom program/Megalodon?

[hard current]

the ratio of a circles circumference to diameter 😔

[proud minnow]

Ahh, sorry MULTIPLE PLAYER TRIGGERED ONES

[sharp sentinel]

Monke

[fresh quiver]

👀

[dawn coral]

any sort of activation criteria with clothes, stickers etc?

[alpine junco]

The three guard booths on monaco?

[worthy nimbus]

ima be real i totally though these were toilets

[proud minnow]

Before all EE's (except one that will be growing over seasons to come) can old be found alone

Now it was time to up the game, hehe

[bright ruin]

It could serve both functions... You never know what the guards do in there

[dawn coral]

UP the game? bro, we're already buried.

[rough hazel]

Exactly this.

[worthy nimbus]

what the fuck do you mean up the game, di you think we were too good at it 💀

[hasty anvil]

I'd assume multiplayer EE's are on the new map

[fresh quiver]

yep. something like the Phantom program then.
But even better. It was also built up over seasons

[hard current]

be nice

[bright ruin]

"One that will be growing"

So something in game is growing over the seasons? This feels like a literal statement of something growing in size or scale

[fresh quiver]

can the EEs be activated in private games? thats the more important question

[rough hazel]

The duck?

[hushed beacon]

think back to how in battlefield we had to do multiple steps to get the final easter egg

[alpine junco]

The duck is said to not be easy

[hushed beacon]

i think it would be like that

[alpine junco]

So it can be that 3 people are needed

[fresh quiver]

or 6 with private games 😄

[hard current]

Euler's identity can be interpreted as saying that rotating any point radians around the origin has the same effect as reflecting the point across the origin

rob going crazy with the reflections

[dawn coral]

I've been trying to look in reflections on my Thermal tablet, whilst a teammate is stealing a cashout, whilst someone is stealing our cashout, i've no clue where this monkey is...i swear i've looked at every reflective surface on monaco lol

[snow walrus]

"months" is the key word of this sentence

[hasty anvil]

June?

[alpine junco]

I believe the 3 headed monkey and the cannons iirc

[hushed beacon]

i agree

[proud minnow]

hehe yes.. ._.

[snow walrus]

No
#easter-eggs message

[hushed beacon]

I KNEW IT!!!!

[alpine junco]

We have always known

Before the game was created

[hasty anvil]

I meant months and June (character) connection lol

[alpine junco]

We have known

[hushed beacon]

but where to start

[hard current]

@earnest wagon @pure loom @solar glade @unborn pilot @jade citrus @coarse dagger @sharp flame are y’all still alive

[limpid yarrow]

has anyone tested out my thery with the cornell box ? where you have to put player death stautues on the pedestol like things

[alpine junco]

Las vegas babbyyyyyyyy

[snow walrus]

is this about the new map easter egg that needs at least 2 players to activate it

[earnest wagon]

I’m still kicking. Something came up IRL that’s taking longer than I expected to complete. I’ll pop back in and solve this soon though.

[hard current]

no worries, I also have taken a backseat the last week or two for the hunt

[dull marsh]

MY GOD ROB IS HERE AND I'M SLEEPING?!?!!!!

Hi Rob 🙂

[alpine junco]

#easter-eggs message

[acoustic canyon]

Now we need smashel here to start saying things so they can get eyes

[dawn coral]

Rob, is there something similar to the Phatom Camo, do we need to be dressed appropriately for this EE?

[hushed beacon]

maybe if we shoot the cannons and break the building maybe they might hit something that could activate?

[fresh quiver]

your not the only one. I think some of us that were here at the beginning of Tier 3 stepped down a little bit. and just get some sanity back

[hard current]

yeah that’s why I stepped away

I felt so stuck lol

[fresh quiver]

i think we have got tired

[hard forge]

@proud minnow anything more to add to this? Or did we miss some? #easter-eggs message

[acoustic canyon]

Oh God, he's gonna tell us about a new one now and send us down another rabbit hole

[snow walrus]

A month is a unit of time, used with calendars, that is approximately as long as a natural orbital period of the Moon; the words month and Moon are cognates. The traditional concept of months arose with the cycle of Moon phases; such lunar months ("lunations") are synodic months and last approximately 29.53 days, making for roughly 12.37 such months in one Earth year.

[worthy nimbus]

#easter-eggs message

can old be found?

guess it means "can not be found"?

[hasty anvil]

If we all step away nothing will get solved lol, just got to keep pushing through

It's about the journey

[proud minnow]

on three maps... wont say which ones... ._.

[fresh quiver]

we are not gone. we just took ourselves a vacation of 1,2-3 weeks. But we still lurking if something comes up that I might can input something

[proud minnow]

SPEAR doesn't live in lore... he IS lore, haha

[hard current]

oo what was it?

[dawn coral]

time to try on all of the clothes to find out which is the Phantom Camo equivalent.

gotta say something correct;)

[fresh quiver]

I hope someone of us has over the last past days 😂

[hasty anvil]

He has 1000's of messages to go through...

[dawn coral]

what if the 3headed monkey is Rob, invading a game like in Dark Souls 🤣

[hard forge]

he is also busy

[solar glade]

i live… in the shadows

[snow walrus]

The note F corresponds to January, the note F♯ corresponds to February, the exceptional 28–29 day month, and so on.

Note G was a clue, is G corresponds to March? i don't know music theory or whatever it's called

[dull marsh]

Rob, were you able to glance at our latest theories? 🫠

[worthy nimbus]

the title of 70.68 etc, to ascii, arent tehy all notes?

[solid jay]

I'm sure he has a keyword search or algo he is running. This would be hell for him not just us.

[bright ruin]

Notes how?

[dull marsh]

There is the #1204475718747029535 which is kinda made on purpose

[hard forge]

I will post this again

Note G is a computer algorithm written by Ada Lovelace that was designed to calculate Bernoulli numbers using the hypothetical analytical engine.

[solid jay]

That too

[proud minnow]

yes there are many more things to add to this... perhaps a nice google sheet to track them better.... ._.

[worthy nimbus]

70.68.71.67.72, to ascii is phqgr which isn't actually notes

[cloud wyvern]

that has been figured out

gimmie a sec ill link

[worthy nimbus]

i know.

[nova yacht]

there are no easter eggs in the finals yall are doing this for nothing for no purpose

[worthy nimbus]

i am aware.

[cloud wyvern]

oh, word.

[hard forge]

bait

[cloud wyvern]

👍

[worthy nimbus]

but the letters could have been notes

[limpid yarrow]

lmao

[nova yacht]

no im a reliable source bro

[hasty anvil]

We do need to start tracking things better

[bright ruin]

We're trying to set that up

[snow walrus]

exactly 3headed monkey isn't real at all

[proud minnow]

We will continue to add maps, don't you worry... perhaps not ALL, since this is a very performance heavy mode, but we will try..!

[limpid yarrow]

this is where rob drops a video guide of how to do the msoot basic ee we have yet to find

[nova yacht]

🔥

[cloud wyvern]

H is my favorite chord to play on my guitar

[fresh quiver]

creating a new page on the google sheet we already have?

[worthy nimbus]

what google sheet

[snow walrus]

yea i noticed there are many tutorials in the game like how to use gadgets what are the mods etc.. BUT no Easter Egg hunting tutorial???? that's shame...

[fresh quiver]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfveK-QScK3a7dr9LxGxIuFiw89nhoUxJvbfwCkMgXU/edit#gid=1143525351

[limpid yarrow]

not everything and this being one of them needs to be fixed pronto

i jest

[sharp sentinel]

Its a trial by fire

[snow walrus]

they could give a little demonstration while finding at least ONE easter egg

[limpid yarrow]

didnt rob hint to that kinda

[hard forge]

dread was baiting 😭

[sharp sentinel]

Isn't there a demo image in egg hunt on boarding?

[fresh quiver]

atleast its not fish who is baiting again

[hard forge]

or swa

[sharp sentinel]

He ends a lot of messages with ._.
Which is not only a silly face, but R in morse code. Could just be him signing off his messages. Nice touch

[hard forge]

its actually ... ._.

[sharp sentinel]

SR?

[acoustic canyon]

which is SR = Saint Rob

[fresh quiver]

Saint Rob

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/smaug-dragon-wake-up-gif-18590731

[fresh quiver]

Saint Rob refers here
https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Church_Of_The_Holy_Hunters

[sharp sentinel]

This is a cult. He calls himself a Saint. You all summon him into existence. You ramble nonsense all day long. Have I solved it?

[cloud wyvern]

yes.

[sharp sentinel]

No1 winner

[fresh quiver]

no. read the wiki article i linked

not rob referred himself as Saint Rob. Hunters did

[snow walrus]

we call*

[sharp sentinel]

I know, I know

[acoustic canyon]

its not a cult

we swear

[fresh quiver]

and then some others stepped in to call him Saint Rob aswell. thats why some people have SD or SR in their name

[hard forge]

didn't you see, he appeared as soon as I lit some candles. #easter-eggs message

[cloud wyvern]

don't listen it is a cult.

[sharp sentinel]

cough totally a cult cough

[fresh quiver]

The Church is not.

but CNS 😂

[dull marsh]

Only works if your name is green tho 💀

[fresh quiver]

or the time i prayed and not 30min later CNS happened? 😂

[hard forge]

that was literally the best timing.

[sharp sentinel]

Prayed too hard and created cns

[fresh quiver]

oops. my fault definitely not my fault, i swear

[hard forge]

sometimes prayers don't work
like #easter-eggs message

[sharp sentinel]

Poor namatama

[hard forge]

but our faith is strong

[acoustic canyon]

they havent got me yet, im still holding out

[fresh quiver]

who could know where CNS leads to 😂 I had no idea when I prayed

[hard forge]

that's exactly what someone associated with the CNS would say.

[sharp sentinel]

Pray up an ending, quick!

[dull marsh]

We should take this convo to #1201288968562552863 !

[hard forge]

Back to T3 fellas

Time is ticking

[cloud wyvern]

i think the password is one we have to guess

but i'm just thinking outside the box here

[hard forge]

Cornell box

[dull marsh]

Nothing is ticking, nothing is happening recently

[hard forge]

we are setting up a new record every day

[cloud wyvern]

like the "no accidents since" sign

"it has been _ days since T3 was guessed" and it is always just at 0

[fresh quiver]

its already the longest tier. we have beaten the old highscore.
and thats sad 😦

[acoustic canyon]

itll be even more sad once we break it again on tier 1 of level 3

[worthy nimbus]

if yall want to get into a private game and need a body to get to 6 im here

i don't think ill be that useful bc i'm dead from work but my account can be just there

[hard forge]

we have a thread for that

[dull marsh]

From @hard forge thinking
eiπ+1=0
e = electron
i = iota (very small)
π = spin
1 and 0 = quantum?

Electrons have a spin of +1/2 or -1/2

[dull marsh]

Euler's identity is basically 5 truths about the circle

The #1204573219894468648 circle is 1064px in diameter

So it might just all be a big circle

[bright ruin]

Back at the beginning, ab ovo, going in circles

[dull marsh]

Maybe that's all Euler is

[solid jay]

Circle or cycle.

[winged crown]

is this loss

[bright ruin]

You think Euler had a unicycle or a bicycle?

[winged crown]

sorry brainrot

[sharp sentinel]

It might go full circle? Anyone tried the first ever hint/text as a password?

[dull marsh]

Not sure what Level 2 very first clue was

[solid jay]

He seems like a tandem bike type of guy given that he was blind.

[fresh quiver]

"yO! " or "geocache"
have both been tried

[hard forge]

wrong chat

[bright ruin]

That's what I was asking weeks ago

Is it the fire image
or is it Easter Egg (painted) Nama Tama?

[winged crown]

right chat, i came here for easter eggs

[dull marsh]

The fire image?

[snow walrus]

this is the first image of the hunt ...edited

[solid jay]

@velvet narwhal Rob was in here earlier can you run the algo when you get a chance?

[bright ruin]

That's the first of level 2?

[fresh quiver]

from Level 2?
First image of level 2 is the Loading namatama

[bright ruin]

This btw

The wiki wouldn't load the full version 😅

[snow walrus]

no its the first of the hunt

[bright ruin]

Yeah we need level 2

[hard forge]

mb, welcome enjoy our insanity. We have resources and stuff for you. feel free to ask questions

[bright ruin]

That's what Ludonope asked for

[snow walrus]

ahh sorry i misread

[bright ruin]

Is loading different from Easter egg painted nama tama?

[bright ruin]

Ah okay so yeah, we're thinking the same thing

[solid jay]

Check the pinned messages to get acquainted before diving in! Welcome!

[dull marsh]

What do you do with Easter Eggs?

[bright ruin]

Hunt them

[dull marsh]

What do you do with Gold?

You search them

[bright ruin]

Mine it?

Oh

[dull marsh]

And you find them

[bright ruin]

Ahhh So to find the password, we must use the (discord) search function!

[earnest goblet]

Hoard it

[dull marsh]

So many circles lol

[bright ruin]

Wait has no one analyzed that version of nama tama before?

[snow walrus]

i have the original version hold on

[dull marsh]

Most definitely been done

[bright ruin]

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ipd2ByykQXpgv9fCTuRfz5SsoSJAJjup

[bright ruin]

What came of it?

[fresh quiver]

lis that the PR folder?

[hard forge]

the glass is reflecting something

[hasty anvil]

magnifying glass reflection?

[bright ruin]

I looked in the glass, could not see anything

[hard forge]

Rob sent it before too

[fresh quiver]

@bright ruin there is nothing in PR images afaik. only what was shared through the website & discord. but would like to have that confirmed from some others

[bright ruin]

What do you mean by that though?

They don't make two separate images

[sharp sentinel]

Looks like a window from the Monaco Church to me

[dull marsh]

Reminds me of Euler

[sharp sentinel]

Definitely an arched window

[bright ruin]

It's reflecting whatever lightsource they use for staging these. It's the same lightsource in the normal version of this egg

The same light source as what's reflected in the helmet here: https://www.embark-studios.com/press

[cloud wyvern]

is this just the church from monaco

nevermind

EFB

[sharp sentinel]

Real

[fresh quiver]

they do.
because its just an extra to hide things in there.
So the original gets uploaded to the PR folders.
And the original also gets copied & modified by rob to hide clues in there for us

[bright ruin]

Trust me, I dug into that lol

[cloud wyvern]

nah yeah i figured

[bright ruin]

But the ones up there have the same clues that are in the ones we share around

They're hidden, why would they need to remove them for public display?

I know you guys believe me, but I had to triple check to make sure I wasn't going crazy lol
This is from the PR folder

I still want tha tnama tama mask in game

So did anything substantial come from NamaTama_TFEE_Mascot.png?

[winged crown]

ngl i totally dig the schizophrenic analysis of nama tama pngs

Yeah I put zoomed in pictures in #1219957574414106745

Please keep it there

[snow walrus]

its disabled

[winged crown]

i see

well i don't see actually

but still

i see

[upper sonnet]

whats this on the hand

also 0's and V's, dont forget the V's

password has to be just a combination of 0's and V's

[bright ruin]

Part of his model

[upper sonnet]

its always there?

[bright ruin]

yes

[upper sonnet]

aweful lot of data in the transparent part of the image

[bright ruin]

Happens on all the png tamas

*with transparent backgrounds

Well I shouldn't say all, but the ones from the presskit, that's what I've noticed at least

[cloud wyvern]

a lot of stuff that could be "hidden" in the background usually looks like rendering/compression artifacts to me

not always the case

but stuff like rings just scream spotlight type light source lighting the image.

boy i said light there a lot

[bright ruin]

Put a can of ospuze in the hand

Also should probably move to #1201288968562552863

#easter-eggs message

(but it IS a strange cursor, I wonder why)

Maybe it's about this cursor

Strange orange colour cursor

[winged crown]

meh, the window decorations are orange too

bit weird since shells usually only use two-tone though

but muh style and flair

[pure sapphire]

did someone tried to see what the music looks like? sometimes they are things hidden on music

even tho i dont think it goes this far

[bright ruin]

I'm confused, that wouldn't make sense. That comment was for the "Loading_.gif". S2 credits didn't exist yet

[bright ruin]

Yes, that was me. Nothing is there

[pure sapphire]

oh rly? someone alr did that's crazy, gg tho

[winged crown]

i don't think they'd try since spectrographs look wildly different based on bitrate or codec and the soundtrack is on like 6 platforms

maybe if a cd was released

[hasty anvil]

It was an old unused clue, similar format. Most clues Rob gives us aren't relevant until much later. Also he specifically pointed out the cursor, just trying to make a connection

[pure sapphire]

i'm kinda new to this hunt but i'm (super) old on the game

hope i can help on it

[bright ruin]

You wouldn't analyze the released soundtrack, CNS provided us directly with 3 audio files, all were analyzed, nothign to be found

[winged crown]

ah

[pure sapphire]

yr

[pure sapphire]

reversed also?

[winged crown]

you would see it either way

spectrograph images aren't very subtle

[pure sapphire]

it can be binary yk

not only images

[bright ruin]

Wait unused how? Was it not for the loading._gif?

I know you are, I'm also just trying to see if you're onto anything, because he also said he didnt' hide anything in those gifs (load & ready) but pointed out the cursor which I found strange indeed

[pure sapphire]

you only looked for image or also morse code / binary code?

[bright ruin]

It has been dissected

[pure sapphire]

sure sure? ok then i dont know why he gave us it

[bright ruin]

He didn't, CNS did

[winged crown]

cns really said "yo peep this one" and fucked off

[pure sapphire]

cant be for nothing

[hasty anvil]

loading and ready gifs definitely mean something, we just don't know what yet, as per all unsolved clues. Why else would he point out the cursor?

[bright ruin]

It was for hype and lore and world building primarily more than anything

[winged crown]

tbh cns is prob a group that would fuck with people for shits so it seems on brand

[pure sapphire]

meh that's sad

someone found smth about the roses?

that's sad

[bright ruin]

Right that was my thinking too. But him saying he didn't hide anything in them must mean that it's something about them. (cursor being a sign or a distraction, I'm not sure)

There was talk last night where we thought about how weird it is to have "load" gif before "ready" gif when on the c64 it's normally "ready" and you input before "load"

[pure sapphire]

also, i'm sure pc's on the new sys map will show us something

[hasty anvil]

Okay but he pointed out the cursor in particular, and clues can have multiple meanings

He wouldn't 'distract' us

[winged crown]

guys have you tried turning your m11 off and on again

[bright ruin]

Right, bad terminology, I meant more like, draw our attention to the cursor to not have our attention on the bigger picture (yet)

Which at the time of those being new, makes sense. Tier 2 hadn't been solved yet, so "zooming out" wouldn't have helped if that's what we're supposed to be doing to solve T3

[winged crown]

if the cursor means something it could be a reference to the rate it blinks at maybe?

[pure sapphire]

btw, why is there a shape inside the red cross?

[bright ruin]

Granted it was never figured out either way, it may have been him leading to a certain direction

[bright ruin]

That was analyzed in at 400ms I believe for "Ready." gif

Which I think differs from Loading

[winged crown]

any historical shells blink at 400ms?

[pure sapphire]

could you ping me the cursor thing image please?

[winged crown]

maybe extrapolate the year from that

[bright ruin]

use the Padlet for now (T2abc is where it is) #egg-hunt-onboarding

You just have to log in to an archive.org account and borrow it

[bright ruin]

Yeah, look

[solid jay]

Okay so in this #easter-eggs message old message eyed by Rob was right around the time he first said we have everything we need. So something about the previous passwords is going to give us what we need to solve t3. We should discount anything after this as extra.

Only things related to those passwords are viable.

[alpine junco]

i just realized thats why the last two images are a gold and white question mark

[dull marsh]

What about Euler tho, we didn't find any clues related to that before (even tho rob did put some)

[coarse dagger]

Still around, just lurking more. I prefer contributing towards new clues found in images or stuff 👀'd by Rob, as that's where we usually tend to actually make progress. I'm still reading all of chat and working on the vault.

[solid jay]

There were mentions of Euler previous to that point in time.

[dull marsh]

Sure but what clue do you link that to?

[solid jay]

I'm just saying I think that's a good cut off.

If I was at my PC I'd dig in deeper to try and answer that.

[coarse dagger]

Is there a common factor on those 3 maps we should be able to identify?

[twilit forge]

You're definitely right about the old passwords. We know stuff about the beautiful list, and geocache not being done yet #easter-eggs message

[bright ruin]

Is geocache the key to cracking the rest? Does Euler fit in to geocache somehow

[solid jay]

Euler can tie into so many things in so many ways because literally everything is math.

[bright ruin]

Sure, but the fact that Euler's Identity is pointed at for us, means that it's something specific we're missing, not just "math"

[worthy nimbus]

map of all IRL geocache in the area of the game map:

[bright ruin]

(Not that it makes it ANY easier to figure out)

[bright ruin]

I don't understand this so I won't tackle this myself but, do they not change with time?

[twilit forge]

I've been thinking and I believe I saw Atsuhiro mention that what if its relating not to the math portion, but to Euler's actual identity?

[worthy nimbus]

kind of but not really. basically you are expected to always put them back, but you obviously cant guarantee that

[twilit forge]

I tried a bunch of passwords relating to his birthdate/latin/mirrored but nothing

[bright ruin]

Yeah that's what I meant by it not being math. We were talking last night about it being his identity and not the formula possibly. Just not sure what about his identity. I think it's worth exploring

[bright ruin]

Yeah... idk if clues ever pointed to a specific geocache? Otherwise, if there's potential for them to change, then a map may be "out of date" so to speak when it comes to helping us (if that makes sense)

[worthy nimbus]

there was that thing about the directions cannons were pointing but no spot that comes up on the irl map

[solid jay]

Yeah I agree it could be something else like that but I'm just saying in terms of tying Euler into things it's not hard 😂

[twilit forge]

To me at first robs message here #easter-eggs message seemed to show Euler playing a smaller role in the hunt, but maybe he mentioned our boy Leon so early because he ties everything together?

He could be saying "I guess you could figure out a couple connections..." Tongue in check like "yeah he's a clue to the main password dummies"

He would probably call us something less mean and more appropriate, like egg-heads

Which, I think we are all egg-heads at this point so 🤷‍♂️

[sharp sentinel]

Did anyone go check out the maps for multiplayer eggs? Nothing found?

[hasty anvil]

Also Phi as well

[worthy nimbus]

yeah but then he made a skin where he said THIS with a large arrow pointing at euler's identity sooo

[feral lagoon]

wait

narcissus kinda connect with gold and mirror

[twilit forge]

Yeah, thats what I'm saying. At first when I read that, I didn't think he played a big part, but now upon rereading and the new clues obviously he does

[feral lagoon]

it's also a 6 petal flower (hexa)

but it end here

[unborn pilot]

Or is it pointing to the circle which happens to have the identity inside.

Both times the identity has been in a circle now

[upper sonnet]

Tgus doesnt look like the church, do you have an image of what you think this is?

[hasty anvil]

From Rob's 'Phi' mention, the rabbit hole is quite interesting;

Hex unicode U+03C6 (0,3,6)
Used to represent wave functions
Golden ratio is represented by 'Phi'. Reciprocal of 1/phi = Phi - 1
Euler's totient function φ(n) in number theory;[4] also called Euler's phi function.
This also led me to a Polar/Polarity rabbit hole
Magnetic polarity
Polar climate / northern lights
Polar point group - a symmetry in geometry and crystallography
POLAR III and POLAR II, a pedestrian test dummy created by Honda

[dull marsh]

The Phi stuff seems very interesting indeed

[hasty anvil]

searching on discord shows it's barely been looked at

Could be that Rob's early reactions of golden ratio was for this tier

[upper sonnet]

https://oye-records.com/releases/alderaan-statics-golden-ratio

?

[hasty anvil]

Phi coefficient - a measure of association for two binary variables

[dull marsh]

Phi is the totient function

We might need to use that function to encode the password

[upper sonnet]

Im going to be reading more of this in little bit but this has to do with palindromes of phi. https://repository.up.ac.za/bitstream/handle/2263/9050/Strauss_Burden(2008).pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y

[bright ruin]

Is phi the golden ratio?

[upper sonnet]

yea

that latin shit

Graffiti

Is this the same trident that was an EE?

[golden cradle]

anyone know if there is anywhere i can see easter eggs that have already been found and what is being worked on at the moment?

[upper sonnet]

the wiki, the google doc, and the padlet. Honestly though, its a lot of info to take in, and didnt provide me any use. you are better off just using it as an idea of what to look for then start looking and see where it takes you, if you find something interesting search the key words in discord to see if it has been found. If it has, that is still a good thing because it means you are the right path and you may just eventually find something new.

Like in the images, we have probably found less than half the EE's/hints in them.

okay thanks a lot ill have a look at all of these

[golden cradle]

thanks man i appreciate it

there were some things in game that made me think they looked like they would lead to easter eggs or something so i came here to see if people had seen them already. i didnt know there was gonna be a whole easter egg channel haha

i like stuff like that in games

this game especially has peaked my interest though

[coarse dagger]

Honestly though, its a lot of info to take in, and didnt provide me any use.
I felt the exact opposite when I started. It's much easier to find clues if you know the context of what's been important. So far this has felt a bit less true for T3, but in past tiers researching what is known and finding connections between them went a long way.

[upper sonnet]

Yea my point was even after reading them I was still lost. Watch rockhoundblacks video explaining. it helps

Well my rabbit hole took me somewhere. Lychrel numbers which are numbers that never reach a palindrome, and you test them by doing a reverse then add operation(mirror). So maybe we have the right answer we just need to spin it around and add it to itself and check if its a palindrome?

palindromatic fibonacci > https://oeis.org/A281509 > Lychrel Number wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lychrel_number#Reverse-and-add_process

or who knows, maybe we have to add 18 0's to the number like this.

Phi seems like one of the best leads yet, as it doesn't really bring anything new but connects a bunch of stuff

Very familiar symbol that has come up multiple times in the previous steps

Phi is also related to the C64 with the Phi Color Clock which seems to be some sort of internal clock, but I'm not sure to understand yet what it is exactly

https://dustlayer.com/c64-architecture/2013/5/7/hardware-basics-part-2-a-complicated-relationship

[hasty anvil]

I spent a bit of time but couldn’t find a c64 connection 👍

Also kind of relates to ‘gold clock or something’ hint

[shrewd fog]

great summary Wig in the T3 thread 🫡

[dull marsh]

There is the Phi Bond in chemistry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi_bond

Which is " where six lobes of one involved atomic orbital overlap six lobes of the other involved atomic orbital"

Not sure what it means but it could be related to hexagon

There is also Pi Bond https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_bond

Hey so... I don't know if anyone else has noticed this yet, but "T3" is plastered all over the city lancer set

I don't exactly know how to go through the files to find the textures, nor how to get close ups on the clothing but, it's there

[dull marsh]

We don't go through the files, we only take screenshots from the game 😉

Yeah it's been mentioned, let me see if I can find some reference to that

[dull marsh]

Here #easter-eggs message

I just had an idea

Pearl

The question marks look like jewelry

A gold thing with a pearl on top

Pearls are made of.... CACO3 (mostly) 🤔

[olive tiger]

the code in question goes something like: "T3:#WPS76:"

[The "#" is a symbol I don't recognize]

[dull marsh]

Euler's identity is also sometimes called Euler's pearl

[bright ruin]

Source? I have never seen this and you have peaked my curiosity

[dull marsh]

Secret of the Monkey Island greatly inspired Pirates of the Caribbean, which has the Black Pearl

[dull marsh]

It's not the most common thing but I'm seeing a few mentions here and there
https://www.researchgate.net/post/What-is-Special-in-Eulers-identity-e-ipi-10

[bright ruin]

Okay okay not to toss that out completely but hang on

In 2008 there was a book published called Euler's Gem

About his polyhedral formula and the birth of topoogy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_Gem

[dull marsh]

Yeah but come on, pearls are made of CACO3!!!

😄

[bright ruin]

Nono I'm saying not to toss that out, but you lead me to something else that could be of use haha

[dull marsh]

I know I know XD

[bright ruin]

Because pearls are in a way gems

gems but not stones

[dull marsh]

Yeah makes sense

GEM -> 63M

[bright ruin]

If this is the right line of thinking then what I was saying last night about the importance of his Polyhedron formula could hold true, especially considering that charm in the battle pass

[olive tiger]

for some reason I can't send screenshots, so I sent everything to you lol

is there any concept art for the city lancer set?

[dull marsh]

Oh wow that's a lot you sent right there XD

[olive tiger]

the shows have numbers on the back that don't appear anywhere else in the set, it looks like a date maybe?

but it can't be a coincidence that T3 appears on the outfit...

[dull marsh]

Lancer Set T3

Are you able to send messages in the thread I just created? #1220581562199048232

It will be simpler to collect everything there 😉

[olive tiger]

still can't put my screenshots in there thought

I can't attach files anywhere

[dull marsh]

If I may suggest, since you don't have the level to put screenshots yet, you can use imgur to host the images

I'm okay sending an image or two but here it's a bit much lol

[olive tiger]

I'll look into imgur

[dull marsh]

But yeah that stuff could use some brain power, so it's nice to have you looking at it!

[bright ruin]

What if we need to use Euler's polyhedral formula on the question marks? They are both technically 3d. Gold one shows that more clearly with it's "rounded edges", white one shows it via the shadow it casts

[dull marsh]

How tho, they are complex shape and don't have just a limited number of faces, edges and vertices

[olive tiger]

there we go

[bright ruin]

I'm not entirely sure. The "dot" on them is the easiest part. The curves I guess would count as one continouse face until it hits the next edge?

[olive tiger]

I sent all of the images in https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1220581562199048232

[use the link to view them on imgur]

[dull marsh]

Actually wait I'm dumb, I can literally just copy-paste the images... --"

Lemme do that for you lol

[olive tiger]

too late lol

[dull marsh]

Sorry for that XD

[olive tiger]

no biggie

[dull marsh]

Eh, it will still be simpler to have the images directly there

Hmm, could also be about marble, which is CACO3 too

Like a status on a gold pedestal

Cuz the Euler's Pearl seems preeetty rare, so it seems like a weak link

[bright ruin]

We do have that marble cosmetic set

[dull marsh]

And there was a marble Nama Tama

Calcite marble crystal: Hexagonal scalenohedral

Ok yeah overall calcite has an hexagonal structure

[olive tiger]

Another in game item the kinda "speaks out" to me, is the "Sall Screen" charm that's in the battlepass at level 32

[dull marsh]

You might wanna check this thread, there might be some interesting stuff on that #1217764235971530814

[olive tiger]

it's the only charm, when equipping to any weapon or gadget, that glitches out

[dull marsh]

What about Spiral

Shells (CACO3) often have a spiral shape

Two celestial body merging go into a spiral around each other (making gravitational waves)

Euler's spiral https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_spiral

There was someone names "Spiral" in the demoscene (although not sure how famous)

The Golden Spiral, which is a spiral made from the Golder Number

Galaxies usually have a spiral shape

The only thing that bothers me is the hard focus on Euler's identity SPECIFICALLY

[dull marsh]

I'm really trying to explore simple concepts that could tie gold, egg/calcite along with stuff like gravitational waves, Euler

I find it pretty impressive how many "simple" stuff like what we've been exploring since yesterday have been left unexplored until now

The answer very probably lies in one of those ideas honestly

[marsh marsh]

357?

idk I’m rolling the dice for eyeballs

[dull marsh]

what

dude we had no eye emoji in the last 10 days, that's not gonna help

[marsh marsh]

There’s eulers problem 357. I know 369 was eyed so I was thinking maybe only because it was close to 357

[fallen jasper]

Anything new I can help look into

[dull marsh]

Euler #1219957574414106745

[copper sequoia]

Not sure if something is still missing something or I need to OYE more, but looking over an eyed list of the previous passwords that was originally by devx I thought cacoiii would = 203 and 0vif0rm would = 060 and vit3llus could either be 109 or 163?
1064 (1064)
lxxix (79)
5f137s2 (51372)
0vif0rm (060)
cacoiii (203)
vit3llus (109) or (163)
viold (6)
evivi (66)

[bright ruin]

I have mentioned something similar before

It would require a slightly deeper look though, based on our "rules" which we aren't even totally certain of sometimes. such as e=3, would make it 3vivi, except 3=iii so it'd be iiivivi, which would be silly to then convert it back to 366, when the rule was converting 3 to iii

It got kinda convoluted fast haha

[copper sequoia]

If you go by the logic of pulling out numbers you could also pull out the remaining letters:
1064 (1064)
lxxix (79)
5f137s2 (51372) (fs)
0vif0rm (060) (frm)
cacoiii (203) (ao)
vit3llus (109) or (163) (tus)
viold (6) (old)
evivi (66) (e)

Perhaps a word could be made from them? Will run with it and see. At this point willing to give whatever a shot

[bright ruin]

The letters were also pulled out previously I believe, by RockhoundBlack? Idk, you'd have to search for it

No harm in running with it, but might be a good idea to search for preexisting work so you don't waste time focusing on things that have been tried, that way you can explore new ideas with that info

[copper sequoia]

Thanks! I'll keep looking. The follow up message from Rob stated that there was a piece missing so I was trying to see if anything stuck

[bright ruin]

Yeah that was my idea too when I start looking at it in a similar way that you are! Something is there, I just dunno what. Maybe you'll be able to find something new

[dull marsh]

I'm trying to make a script to generate all the password combinations based on a set of rules I'm defining

I have a feeling it's all just a GOLDEGG variant that we didn't manage to find

[bright ruin]

Omg are you brute forcing??? 🤓

[dull marsh]

Brute forcing, by Hand™

[bright ruin]

Lol, you may not even need a custom script. Is there a prexisting python script or even online tool (maybe even cyber chef) where you can just input the values and data?

[dull marsh]

Nah cuz I want specific stuff

Don't worry I can code lol

[bright ruin]

I was just asking in case it'd save a little time 😛

[dull marsh]

I want to try to apply multiple transformation in all different orders: mirroring, converting G=6 E=3 ..., converting to latin, ...

It's so hard to do manually, you always end up missing some combinations

Here at least I'll get a whole bunch of passwords to copy paste, while being sure to not miss any possibility

[bright ruin]

Sounds reasonable

[dull marsh]

My current beliefs:
LIGO and JBB -> Nobel -> Medal -> Gold
Euler -> Circle -> Medal?
Euler -> e=3, i=1, o=0

And then it's just a combination of all that onto GOLDEGG or GOLDENEGG

I think we're searching wayyyyyyyyyyy too deep

We all kinda know it deep down hehe

[bright ruin]

Our 5 truths wouldn't be the 5 Nobel Prizes would it? (6th prize for Economic prizes is usually included but isn't technically one of the main 5)

The 5 being, physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace

We have things that fit to be fair
Physics is the most obvious. - Physiology = egg? Parts of an egg, shell, yolk, etc. - Chemistry = gold, caco3, etc. ?- Not sure on literature - not sure on peace

Idk, Might link it in the rob chat and head to bed, too tired for more thoughts lol

[dull marsh]

GUYS

GUYS

I GOT T3

@proud minnow

[bright ruin]

Yo what 👀

[dull marsh]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

[bright ruin]

Man I was about to go to bed and you drop this bombshell 😭

[cloud wyvern]

dont leave us hanging

[dull marsh]

@proud minnow Btw I applied at Embark last week 😉

0v0aurum

[cloud wyvern]

there he is

dude

DUDE

[bright ruin]

I don't like easter egg hunting anymore

[cloud wyvern]

I HAD DONE THAT PASSWORD WITH THE WORDS SWAPPED

[bright ruin]

Me too

[cloud wyvern]

IT WAS MIRRORED

[bright ruin]

Of all the mirroring I did, that was not one of them

I wonder who else had a similar situation lmao

[dull marsh]

God damn my script was useful

[cloud wyvern]

anyway grats @dull marsh for having more brain cells than the rest of us

[dull marsh]

Nah I don't have anymore left lmao

[bright ruin]

Or just the ability to write a script

That's a good script Ludo, good job!

[dull marsh]

Rob was right to leave us in silence...

[cloud wyvern]

absolutely

[unkempt dune]

so where does 0v0aurum come from

[bright ruin]

Welp, New thread time I guess lmao?

Image is "THE_FINALS_I_Want_to.png" Case sensitive

[bright ruin]

egg gold
ovo
o=0

mirrored gold egg

So our truths were...

Latin, gold, egg, mirror, o=0

[unkempt dune]

so it's

egg gold

egg = ovo
gold = aurum

and o = 0

[dull marsh]

Space was a truths in the clues mostly, here it's only the "binary star" with 0v0

[cloud wyvern]

you gotta be buzzing right now

[dull marsh]

Bro you got no idea my heart rate probably spiked SUPER high when I saw the image pop 😄

[fresh quiver]

does it need to be unlocked for the rest by rob?

[bright ruin]

My heart sank every time the page would lag on a password submission lol

[bright ruin]

Just type the pw in

[dull marsh]

There is stuff in the image already

[cloud wyvern]

i can delete all these PNGs, JPEGs, PSDs, and everything else off my PC now.

[bright ruin]

welllllll

[cloud wyvern]

nah dawg

i gotta take a break

i was hyperfixated on this

[bright ruin]

Haha No I feel that, I agree full stop

[unborn pilot]

GG my guy

[bright ruin]

I'd get so focused on theorizing that I'd stop halfway through doing work

[cloud wyvern]

anything i found i can do again if i need to

[hard forge]

GG @dull marsh

[fresh quiver]

FINALLY. ❤️

So we now need to find Level 3?

[cloud wyvern]

we took too long, no more level 3

we're just gonna have to play the actual game now.... i think its called The Finals?

[bright ruin]

Still curious what "open your eyes" actually meant now

0v0 because the eyes of namatama are open? (like it means egg, but also looks like namatama's face)

[fresh quiver]

To know what to search for.

On the right side of the inage is something written. But I think i dont used the right method to read whats standing there

[unborn pilot]

i can't tell you how may things i tried like that and I'm happy to hear it was way more simple 🙂

[dull marsh]

There is partial text on 2 edges

[fresh quiver]

the times we typed in aurumovo 😄

[dull marsh]

But they don't seem to fit together

[unborn pilot]

yeah i don't get the "mirrored" now at all

[dull marsh]

My script was just good at not forgetting any possibility, nothing more lmao

In the end y'all really had the password back in december

[stuck basalt]

Great job @dull marsh !

[unborn pilot]

also strange cause folks said Aurum so many times yet never ever eyed i think

oh well

[stuck basalt]

And everyone else!

[cloud wyvern]

Saint Rob on the helmet which was also pretty prominent on ques.jpg

[dull marsh]

I guess Rob won't eye when it's literally part of the password

[quaint wing]

I'm so proud of you

[unborn pilot]

he did in every other tier lol. but not now

yes you are @quaint wing you've been waiting for this damn moment for ages

[dull marsh]

Must have been hard to watch for him XD

[quaint wing]

Lud, add me on steam

Or DM me your steam name.

[unborn pilot]

GG Lud, thank god you typed it in

[dull marsh]

Send me yours

[dull marsh]

T3 solved

0v0aurum

[fresh quiver]

@dull marsh got it T3

[sharp flame]

OMGGG

[quaint wing]

We had it minutes into the damn tier.

[fallen jasper]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[fresh quiver]

yes. we are all screaming because we are just dumb to switch the words 😄

[fallen jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/awesome-yes-yeah-baby-cheer-gif-15859596

[quaint wing]

But no one thought to do 0v0. I'm so happy. I can finally let this weight off my shoulders

[pure loom]

Well done!

[dull marsh]

Damn I'M GONNA BE IN RHB's VIDEO 😎

Well someone LIED

S LIED

[sharp flame]

Raid have you just been typing variations in without putting them into the PSW box 😭😭

[fresh quiver]

Raid Lied.

R Lied 😂

[unborn pilot]

apparently R Forgot

to type one in

[hard forge]

@jade citrus you were damn close

[fresh quiver]

we would have done it A MONTH AGO. when he would have typed it in

[unkempt dune]

you're telling me this could have been over before S2?

[quaint wing]

That is the funniest shit ever.

[sharp flame]

Before S1

[fallen jasper]

This was supposed to be done before launch

[sharp flame]

Last year even

[unkempt dune]

but in the case of raid's password attempt

[sharp flame]

Wait
