@proud minnow I've never leaked anything in my entire life 😏(that would be extremely n00b'ish)

[proud minnow]

haha, OFC NOT Esse... ._.

(and for the record... you are not a nOOb, you are one of the most talented Artists and AD's I worked with... BUT I still wonder why it looks like there is a new animal in one of the images you released, feels like a leak to me... even if the Community doesn't pick up on it, it still counts as a leak... but perhaps we can frame Gunnar for that one, hehe...)

[lime kindle]

I wanna stare at said image for hours until I see the animal, where are the EE hunters that know which one it is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[opaque thistle]

taR

[unkempt dune]

no clue what image rob could be referring to considering esbjorn can't post images in the server atm

[lime kindle]

We'll have to find out where Esbjorn could've posted that. It's not on the discord, at least not posted by them

[unkempt dune]

not steam

[lime kindle]

not twitter

[unkempt dune]

not seeing anything on PlayStation's or Xbox's stores

[lime kindle]

instagram only has videos

It's "one of the images", so it must be somewhere with multiple pictures

[unborn pilot]

My internet is a bit slow in Japan but just noticed that dropped

[lime kindle]

It's been analyzed to be a broken revive statue, unknown if it's the image with the new animal

[unborn pilot]

Yeah that animal thing I’m curious about too

[unkempt dune]

not sure if rob would say esbjorn released it if CNS posted it.. unless rob slipped up

but yeah, that's the only new image I can think of

the patch notes from the past few updates don't have images, just videos

one has a gif of that boom box for the community event

which is the closest thing to an image that I saw

I posted this in the CNS Posts thread a bit ago:

[unborn pilot]

What’s that from?

[unkempt dune]

Like you can see the cracks on what is presumed to be a revive statue

oh that's the CNS post from today

[unborn pilot]

Ah okay.

[unkempt dune]

just the red channel, rotated, and stretched

[hearty meteor]

maybe a teaser for a gamemode where you cant revive?

[unkempt dune]

what I find interesting is the shape of the torso

it has an odd shape

the head portion looks like a samurai helmet

[lime kindle]

Oh that reminds me

One or more The Finals trailers did have a Samurai cosmetic

I've been wondering if it will come out

[lime kindle]

Closed Alpha Gameplay Trailer

[unkempt dune]

the feet from the CNS post look like the normal revive statue

but yeah, the shape of the torso from the post is confusing me

maybe it's just distorted or something

[lime kindle]

I can't really make it out tbh

[unkempt dune]

when I was looking at this earlier, I found it funny that the glitches looked like letters

I just thought about it, but I wonder if at one point there was a different revive statue for each class

[winged tartan]

so are the revive statues linked to the monkey easter egg whn he said he died alot to get it to work or som

[drifting spruce]

the light and heavy skins look so cool

[lime kindle]

I'd love to get the Samurai skin

[lime kindle]

The dying was unrelated to the monkey when he said it, it might be connected to it but it also might not

[cold heart]

I always wondered why they never did the differenr revive statues in the end... it would be actually super useful to know which dead teammate is what class

Rather than remembering

[willow barn]

At first it also seemed to me that there was a samurai from the alpha version here

[lime kindle]

We really need that skin imo

[lime kindle]

Looking at the feet it cannot be the Samurai though, as the shoes have a more round shape to them at the end

And the Samurai is wearing those japanese sandals

[gloomy anvil]

Where's that video from? I've never seen it before

[hushed beacon]

@proud minnow when are you gonna drop the samurai skin 👁️ 👄

[alpine junco]

He is in #1201288968562552863

[willow barn]

This is a tutorial from the files of the first closed beta

[gloomy anvil]

is it still available to watch somewhere?

[solemn latch]

where is this from?

[timid solstice]

wasnt it the beta tutorial

I have it, not sure if I can share it though

cant remember if it was closed or open beta

[plucky kettle]

why cant you share the closed beta stuff

[timid solstice]

nda?

[plucky kettle]

yeah but the game released now, idk the terms of it but im assuming now its out you can talk about it

and if you cant share the video, you just shared a screenshot

sorry, they not you

[alpine junco]

Maybe becuz the beta isnt the actual release

[orchid lark]

Don’t know if you guys seen or said this yet but in the broken statue picture from cns if you zoom out a bit it’ll show several words that say “cns” scattered around (my bad if someone already said this)

[lime kindle]

Somebody already pointed that out, but it's still appreciated :D

[willow barn]

https://disk.yandex.ru/d/RvcQVs9eZwT5pg

[unkempt dune]

wait, which CNS text are you talking about?

[orchid lark]

The one in the new image cns posted of the statue, if you zoom out it’ll start to compress the image and if you do it right text will appear in certain parts of the image

[unkempt dune]

ah yeah, the distorted ones

[dull marsh]

#1213500600117891122

[unkempt dune]

for anyone confused, if you outline the noise and distorted sections (or do noise analysis), it'll spell CNS

and it appears 9 times

[snow walrus]

Broken statue + elimination keyword

That means no respawn mode i think

If you die you die

[sharp flame]

9 monkeys

?

[unkempt dune]

CNS = 9 monkeys confirmed

[sharp flame]

could it be 10? then it would be 10 people in 1 match for the new gamemode

[unkempt dune]

maybe there's another one hiding

[unkempt dune]

the bright ones are hard to see

[sharp flame]

did you spot them all by eye or using channels

[alpine junco]

the pink looked like binary but idk

more cns in this edit

[unkempt dune]

spotted them by eye, but did some modifications to help do that

[unkempt dune]

what part is that?

left top?

definitely looks like the ascii logo

[alpine junco]

yes

it is the ascii logo

[unkempt dune]

well, there are 10 now

[sharp flame]

weird that only 1 is big

9 monkeys.. 1 main one!

so the 9 diminutive monkeys are only there to lead us to the final one

[alpine junco]

theyre placed very weirdly too

very specific

[unkempt dune]

I think this may be the first time that the ascii version of CNS was in one of the CNS posts

[sharp flame]

I swear it was on another

will have to go back and check

[alpine junco]

do you think these are also in the 70 image

[sharp flame]

well either we can 1. overlay them onto a map or 2. we can't haha, I just think it's a general clue about how the monkeys are arranged

[alpine junco]

rob showed there was a shift in some of the pixels

[unkempt dune]

the shifts were for MINERVA

which was related to the 0v0 part of the password

if I remember correctly

[alpine junco]

for this one?

[unkempt dune]

yeah, top right (or middle right) there were shifts

[alpine junco]

ah okay

gotcha

[unkempt dune]

in this case, the CNS posts don't relate back to the big ee hunt

or at least they're not directly involved

[sharp flame]

not something we know

[unkempt dune]

so far at least

[sharp flame]

I don't think we should think this way. I believe the EE hunt is actually linked personally

[unkempt dune]

there are links for sure

but nothing huge so far

[sharp flame]

think about it:
WRs spelled S Lies, a CNS message (maybe not..?)

[unkempt dune]

the closest thing could be the MULTI CO doc

[sharp flame]

the WRs possibly (probably) planted by CNS

therefore, the Monkeys *can be placed by CNS too

because they are in the same unlock criteria for the next stage

and the Retro Dolphins I will theorise is placed by CNS, because they hijacked the new map and added the pixel-stuff, meaning Multico/Discovery didn't add the dolphins

and if CNS want us to find the Monkeys, they can sneak Monkey clues into their messaging on Reddit

[unkempt dune]

in this case, I think the CNS text all over the recent CNS post isn't related to the monkeys

there's nothing that would point to that

[sharp flame]

there are 9 identical randomly placed ones, and as far as we know there are 9 identical monkeys placed in Monaco. they showed a WR last time when there was a WR to be found (even if it didn't help us)

It's just a theory anyways, and if it were pointing to the monkeys it wouldn't tell us anything anyways, just that there are 9 monkeys and 1 main 3HM which we alr knew

[wise iris]

the main one being the easy one in the open ?

[sharp flame]

no way

probably an activated one like the Dolphins

and the 9 monkeys are the floor tiles to stand on / break / shoot idk

[wise iris]

hoo i see

[alpine junco]

Wait

Broken statue = death

9 cns symbols = 9th emote

Something something

[wise iris]

maybe

idk

just wild guessing

[alpine junco]

The ASCII cns in the plaza

Coincidence?

🤓☝️

[wise iris]

it isn't scaled properly so idk

[alpine junco]

SCALE THEM

they don't have the same format

There is a horse sound in powershift xD

[fallen summit]

lol thats so cool, were is it?

[fallen jasper]

To be able to recreate it is not easy seams to be jumping from the sides on and off from the platform (maybe it was just another player doing the sound although it has been since the new update xD)

[fallen summit]

the platform is a mascot now lol

the egg, the pig and the horse🤣

[cold heart]

it wasnt just like someone using the horse "giddy up" emote was it 🤔

[fallen jasper]

That's what I was thinking but happened in more than one game since yesterday I might del later (? 😂

[cold heart]

oh weird :o

[fallen jasper]

What

[fallen jasper]

How do I post pictures?

[fossil axle]

Spoon full of egg shells cause we found nothing today unfortunately...

[random bramble]

Was watching a completely unrelated YouTube video and it mentions CNS, although in this case it means Communication, Navigation, & Surveillance.

On that note, with the Dolphins giving us Cetacea, and the WRs giving us S LIES, is it a stretch to suggest the 3HM will give us a word starting with N?

[sharp sentinel]

If we were to assume this was true, it would mean that the method of finding the monkey would would have something beginning with the letter N. Might be able to use that to narrow the search
But if we assume wrong, it would be a big time waste looking at only N related things...

i've noticed something about the lore videos from the 1.6, 1.9 an 2.4 update.

Scotty's voice at the start is very robotic and AI like, but as soon as the gameshow goes offline he sounds more normal and natural

has that been brought up yet?

[shrewd fog]

the ai are becoming human

[snow walrus]

isn't because CNS hacked the show?

[alpine whale]

i dont think so

its as if scotty is acting or some sorts, including the other information we found regarding ommentators being is different locations

[fallen jasper]

Scotty hates his co-host or he's just very annoyed by her somehow

[drifting spruce]

also meant to ask, has anyone dug into systema naturae by linnaeus?

Again, these CNS-people are nOObs...

They should definitely hire you.

[cold heart]

maybe thats just the aspect ratio of the future

they know something we dont... and its awful

[snow walrus]

the one i saved

[proud minnow]

I will do a CNS-logo and post it somewhere and see if they give me an *offer"

[idle cloak]

I didn't get to save the original picture

[dull marsh]

I'll post an Embark logo then 😀

it's in #1213500600117891122

I wonder what people would say internally if I go rouge and join CNS, hahaha

[sharp sentinel]

You could be a mole in cns (unless you're already a mole in embark...
Dun dun DUUUUN)

[dull marsh]

MultiCo might not be super happy about that

[idle cloak]

Thank you!

[dull marsh]

It depends on whether MultiCo is monitoring that Discord server or not

[snow walrus]

Hunters, you should come to off topic and hang out more hahaha

i think i know where this is going

[proud minnow]

With me being kicked from my own company and looking for a new job I guess, hahahaha

[idle cloak]

I hope CNS' got more art in their sleeve, might go make a folder for all of them and set a wallpaper on each of my devices

[dull marsh]

Depends if CNS takes over your company or not, then you could be one of the leaders... 🤔

[proud minnow]

Now we are talking, that actully sounds like a perfect role for me... Information wants to be free.!

[dull marsh]

If only 3HM information wanted FreeDoom just a tiny bit moore...

[dull marsh]

It's just entropy tho, the universe will tend to scatter information around rather than keep it concentrated. CNS are just doing the universe's work.

[snow walrus]

there is an ultimate information(truth?) hidden even beyond of fame, gold and money...

[idle cloak]

I hope I'm not being crazy, but I just decided to play around with the newest CNS picture in Photoshop and... Does this look like it could hide anything?

I'm very new to the whole EE hunting thing, so I might just be pointing nowhere...

[snow walrus]

Hello everyone

if he starts running low on funds he can collect the coins that drop when a contestant gets eliminated

[thorny gorge]

didnt know that was a thing, mb

[cold heart]

i mean they could have done it years ago tbh... they had their whole team there irl for references on making the map n stuff im pretty sure

[thorny gorge]

yea they mentioned that in an interview

[cold heart]

not sure IM willing to spend that much money though to go and check 😝

someone go look irl in monaco for the monkeys rn

[alpine junco]

@dull marsh

[pure loom]

interestingly, old town Monaco actually has lots of mirrors located around it to help drivers see other cars at the tight intersections

[hard forge]

I would like to point out that the message says "stuff in the real life"

IT COULD BE ANYTHING.

The eyes are probably not for the monkeys.

[thorny gorge]

No way lmao

They cooked with this ee hunt

[sacred bane]

They'd say your cheeks were rosy 😉 fun typo.

[hard forge]

are the glitches still there?

could they be related to the new mode

[light bane]

Have we looked into why Rob and that other bloke keep misspelling noob with capital Os any relation to anything?

[pure loom]

I've only just spotted this post from you. This is great stuff. Also, I have another path that points to 2095 as being the year THE FINALS takes place:

Monaco 2014
Seoul 2023
Las Vegas 2032
? 2041
? 2050
? 2059
? 2068
? 2077
? 2086
? 2095

[fallen jasper]

Stockholm 2095

[alpine junco]

9 year difference

9 things

9 something else

999

666

[pure loom]

currently 9 monkeys

[alpine junco]

Yes

9 monkeys of shaolin

[upper sonnet]

? I cant get a plane to taxi me to another gate at the same airport for less than $250. how?

[dull marsh]

Hmm, idk, that would place the game "about 70 years in the future" tho, not "about 75 years" 🤔

[pure loom]

I would say 71 is "about 75"

to me "about 75" would mean 75 +-5

(maybe even +-10 at a push)

[dull marsh]

Then we need to find an explanation as to why they would round it to make it look close to 2100, rather than go for 70

But yeah I see your logic

[pure loom]

maybe to make us think it was 2100, but it was actually something more specific

[dusk veldt]

how many shields are there on the sides of the streets? ive always found those to be interesting

[sharp flame]

Is this the first time we've seen CNS in the bottom left?

[unkempt dune]

yup

[sharp flame]

It also appears as a "sponsor" on the SYS HORIZON intro

But the font is different

[fossil sonnet]

someone be imitating their work

[sharp flame]

We have seen this version of the logo before right?

[unborn pilot]

What image is that from? I’ve been on vacation and missed it

[sharp flame]

#game-announcements

[unborn pilot]

Ty sir!

[sharp flame]

Thought so too, or maybe the Gameshow has actually tried to "integrate" them in and given them an official logo

But, also, we've seen CNS in multiple fonts already

Maybe their whole thing is they never have one static logo, always changing 🗣️

[fossil sonnet]

never to be traced back Like IPs changing

[sharp flame]

No face 👀

Maybe June is CNS, she seems to defend them more than Scotty

[unkempt dune]

mhm

I believe we have

if not, then the CNS post in #official-art from today is another spot that uses it

[sharp flame]

Can someone check the final page of the BP

Nvm they don't line up

[cold heart]

ive 100% seen this version of the logo before though

[sharp flame]

There can't have been that many CNS appearances

[cold heart]

i wonder if its more like copycat hackers.... multiple people using the name CNS, therefore slightly different logos

i feel like its p common

like this is the same one here

[velvet narwhal]

Maybe it was when the SYS$Horizon map loads. There should be a "sponsored by CNS"

[fossil sonnet]

it’s what we were saying before

[cold heart]

ah sorry if i missed it 🙈

[fossil sonnet]

dw just in agreement

or our little bois at CNS haven’t found their identity yet

[cold heart]

just looks like their tag version (sorry its not a higher quality)

[unkempt dune]

it does feel so familiar

[fossil sonnet]

ever noticed that there’s no reference to the letter S there other than the main text

[solar glade]

yes

[solar glade]

very interesting indeed

[sharp flame]

I don't agree. This was written about 3-5 years ago

75 is just in the scale of 25s

[dull marsh]

Actually a very good point!

[sharp flame]

In fact I'd say 70 years in the future is super specific and 75 is the vague one

[split sentinel]

i thought i was trippin but this shirt does give you a mekaneck

[opaque thistle]

anyone catch the username at the start of the new video thats dropping rn

[dusk veldt]

the intro of the new trailer surely has something hidden, i saw alot of text flashing the screen

[opaque thistle]

yee

[solar glade]

i believe this is the same as the S2 trailer?

[dull marsh]

I think the #1204573219894468648 key is the decryption key related to the new gamemode

[bright ruin]

We already knew CNS was cracking through Vaiiya/THE FINALS security stuff but this shows that explicitly

Figured I'd drop it here for future reference, though likely to be primarily lore

Didn't see much else in the initial glitches/flashing that would indicate EE stuff

Also didn't look very hard, but I like Ludo's line of thinking

[dusk veldt]

around 0:04, i didnt and cant look further into it right now but alot of text

[cold heart]

none of it is really legible though

[bright ruin]

It's just like a previous trailer, boot up / initialize text essentially. I don't think it's ever held any meaning to the hunt, but someone who dug into that back then can correct me if otherwise

[solar glade]

like i said, pretty sure it's the same from S2 trailer - which is more lore related than EE #📕┇lore message

[dusk veldt]

true, most likely more lore related

[bright ruin]

Yeah that trailer

[dull marsh]

Screengrabs of the text at the beginning, hard to read but a lot is somewhat legible

[solar glade]

we already had a .txt version that Smashel typed out, shared above

[dull marsh]

What how

[solar glade]

because this same overlay/transition was in S2 trailer

[dull marsh]

Oooooh gotcha

[unkempt dune]

I just realized rob mask

while watching the reveal slower

[dry belfry]

Note: Robert Sammelin mask, not to be confused with our SR

[dusky grove]

saw this symbol in the trailer while the titlecard was flashing, think it means anything?

[quaint stream]

USB?

[dusky grove]

pretty sure thats not the usb symbol bro

[quaint stream]

Little shoe?

[dusky grove]

all i can see is the sigma symbol in that one

[quaint stream]

Little green shoe

Bizzare

[cold heart]

no need to be mean :/
i kinda see the resemblance, but dont think its a USB nor the USB icon

[dull marsh]

Pretty sure it's just part of "THE FINALS" which is mirrored

idk how thats mean but okay

[dusky grove]

ah right

idk looked suspciously symmetrical so i just thought why not post it here

[dull marsh]

Hehe good reflex!

[cold heart]

yeah thats a good catch.. weird 🤔

yes, this #1213500600117891122 message

looks like the decryption key will be changing appearance here and there

I hope we can make progress on the glitch clusters now

also no CNS branding here

ospuze instead

[cold heart]

on interesting, so they seem to be dropping Quick Cash

[sharp flame]

cashout is quick cash

it's the same objective technically

[cold heart]

i mean basically yeah, but they are different

[sharp flame]

everything on the cashout page applies to quick cash

[unkempt dune]

man, I'm going to miss how casual quick cash is

[sharp flame]

it's not going away 😭

[unkempt dune]

not for tournaments and private matches

[cold heart]

oh yeah you right, that page applies for both

[sharp flame]

it literally says 3v3v3 and 3v3v3v3

yeah

there

mb

[snow walrus]

/terminal-attack page 😄

it should be VAIIYA not iseul-t i think

[unkempt dune]

it's like that across the site

for a while now

[quaint stream]

I've been meaning to use the sound wave weapon charm more to see if there's any interference with anything

[snow walrus]

where this is from then

the end of the reveal

[snow walrus]

ahh i thought the webpages got updated

okay

[unkempt dune]

x..\\\Cns$SYS/..x

[solar glade]

website's footer hasn't been updated in a while

[dusk veldt]

Some urls on the finals website end their 404 message with a !. Or it was the other way around, nevertheless thats how Rob ends some of his messages. He said he was working on a page recently so idk

[crimson wasp]

hey, i haven't been here for a couple of weeks - what's everyone working on currently?

[gloomy anvil]

We're still looking for the three-headed monkey(s) on Monaco, so we can activate Level 3 https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfeeactivationlvl3

gotcha, thanks

details are here : #1211002564015824906

[brisk hearth]

anyone look at the binary in the new trailer?

[solar glade]

i don't think that part has been "solved" (if it's something that needs solving that is) but we do have a text version of it #📕┇lore message

[cold heart]

hows you get a text version 🤔

[solar glade]

by patiently going through each frame and writing it down. old school way

i had started but Smashel took some time and actually did it

[cold heart]

sheesh, huge props for that im supprised youd be able to make out all the 0s and 1s but that sgreat

[gloomy anvil]

the writeup is from the Season 2 trailer where it's clearer

[pulsar flare]

i don’t know how we are supposed to translate binary to text, but when i plugged one of them in i got “OmniSpherrealting” with some weird symbol at the end

[empty plaza]

I smell a rob bomb soon

[pulsar flare]

can someone tell me what we’re supposed to translate it into? i’m new to the hunt

[hearty meteor]

#egg-hunt-onboarding

[pulsar flare]

so just use those sites they put in that image basically?

[hearty meteor]

use whatever tools you see fit for what you are trying to do

[pulsar flare]

ok cool 👍

i keep seeing recurring text of hyperrealting and omnisphere. i have to go to work soon so ill leave this to someone else since idk what im doing 😅

those two phrases pop up a bit though,

and the last bit of binary translated to “YourBinarzz” for me

@ me if i did it right 💪

Just saw some weird black cube on SYSHorizon, not sure if anyone mentioned it here before. Looks like a huge bugged anti-grav cube, but I'll give it a shot. Is there anyone who can post my video here? Not enough rank to do it myself

[acoustic canyon]

Probably a gateway without an exit yet

You're right, false alarm 🙃
Never saw a non-activated gateway before

[solar glade]

2038, interesting

[pure loom]

huh?

[solar glade]

the image name CNS_IMAGE_FROM_ROB_IMG_2038

or did you put that in

[pure loom]

I labelled the first part

IMG_2038 was already there

[solar glade]

alright then ye interesting year he chose

[dull marsh]

I think that might be the one we were talking about yesterday, he said he might put some visuals out there in hope that CNS notices him and hire him 🤔

[unkempt dune]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

not the first time there's been such a problem

[hearty meteor]

y2k except its 38 years later

[unkempt dune]

most well known one was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2000_problem

[sharp flame]

I don't know if the number means something

every single image Rob's posted has been IMG_XXXX

[solar glade]

well, at least it seems fitting here with the terminal and CNS/VAIIYA

[unkempt dune]

that's the format typically used for photos from a digital camera

but these are obviously not photos from an irl camera

[sharp flame]

no but they can be labelled like that on mobile

if you just download images

so I'm assuming this was posted from Rob's phone after he grabbed it from somewhere else

however it could very well be purposeful

[unkempt dune]

if these are really downloaded images, then rob must have downloaded quite a bit in 2 days

[gloomy anvil]

If you check Rob's latest images, they are named IMG_1996, IMG_1997, etc (because it counts up). So 2038 isn't too far off a coincidence.

[pure loom]

Isn't that "Bienvenue" a name that appears like on a street sign or something? I swear I've seen that in Monaco

[sharp flame]

Yeah I'm thinkin this too

[unkempt dune]

I personally don't recognize it

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-gif-25269231

[sharp flame]

Maybe the image has hidden contents..

[unkempt dune]

but it means "welcome"

so I wouldn't be shocked if it's somewhere in-game since that's a common term for traveling

[sharp flame]

the last CNS leaked image was used in the terminal-attack webpage

[dull marsh]

Some of Rob's photos were called like that which seem to be the default filename, here it's a more custom filename with that at the end, it wouldn't be there if he didn't explicitly put it in the name.

[gloomy anvil]

RHB added everything before IMG_2038

[dull marsh]

Y2K and 2038 are not quite for the same reasons tho

[dull marsh]

Oh

Sneaky RHB

[dusky elk]

y2k mentioned

[unkempt dune]

what are the odds rob downloaded/took a bunch of pictures to get to 2037?

intentionally or not

1999 -> 2038 in about two days

[sharp flame]

that's not how time works

oh I missed the context

[pure loom]

yeah, I was just labelling it so I knew it was a "Rob-drop"

[unkempt dune]

when I download photos, they usually aren't named IMG_XXX

[hearty meteor]

mine are on my phone

[unkempt dune]

not sure if that's a OS specific thing

[hearty meteor]

i have an iphone 7

[unkempt dune]

I personally use an android

[solar glade]

anyway, i only mentioned 2038 because i found it interesting but it might not have relevance for EE (tho it could be lore tidbit)

[gloomy anvil]

IOS (and maybe MacOS) use IMG_XXXX as default

[unkempt dune]

so.. who happens to know what kind of phone rob has?

#1201288968562552863 message

looks like an iphone probably

[hearty meteor]

#1201288968562552863 message

dammit

i blame it on mobile

[unkempt dune]

going back to the image itself, has STATUS: ABORTED appeared before on the terminal?

like on previous footage/photos

[solar glade]

it appears on the trailer, iirc

on the 6s frames

[unkempt dune]

hmm

maybe the image rob ~~shared ~~ leaked will be used on the main menu

and that's all there is to it

something like this

[gloomy anvil]

nice mock up

[unkempt dune]

the image is 2:1 (2048x1024)

which seems like something that'd be used for a menu or a banner

considering that terminal attack isn't a LTM from the looks of it, replacing Introducing Season 2 with Introducing Terminal Attack doesn't seem too far fetched

Ospuzes are poisonous?
#⚡┇the-finals-chat message

[solar glade]

imo this is was a joke - too much of a reveal to be that casual

[sour needle]

im mean it sounds like a energy drink which is not good for your body

[snow walrus]

What if it's poisonous in psychological way

Makes addicted you to VR

You don't want to spend time in meatspace

That way sponsors could earn more

[solar glade]

that’s been a theory for a long time already

[hasty anvil]

Anyone know if there's a map anywhere of cashout / vault spawn locations for Monaco?

Was thinking of an idea for certain number must fit certain letter cashout to appear

[sour needle]

what if its gamer pee

[hard forge]

and where do these numbers fit?

[gloomy anvil]

this was in reference to the SYS Horizon EE right? (dolphins)

or something else...

[hard forge]

this was in reference to the SYS horizon or season 2

we also had a menu hint right?

C64, Swedish band, 3HM, UFO / Space Invaders

[hard forge]

interesting. very interesting

[pulsar flare]

do we think that the codes from the crash report in this document are also codes to something else?
i’ll copy the two i’m looking at rn below
Crash Report: Error Code 0xDEACGEEF
Hardware Exception: 0x60914022 (Breakpoint)

[sacred bane]

0xDEACGEEF that is DANGEROUSLY close to DeadBeef.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)#DEADBEEF

It's all nods to the Commodore Amiga

which I think was also the clue to the 4 color ... thingy...

on a gun. somewhere.

which also links ... somehow ... to the JUIK pescii gif here #easter-eggs message

I haven't heard deadbeef in soooooo long. I'm triggered. Thanks, Rob.

[pulsar flare]

maybe the changed letters from DeadBeef to what’s in the hexadecimal code are part of something?

[sacred bane]

CG ... the only thing that really rings a bell is the use of cg in encryption. usually base64.

[pulsar flare]

wait sorry im lost, how and where is cg used in encryption?

[sacred bane]

cg== is the base64 encrypted newline.

tinfoil here.

hexidecimal values of CG are 43 47. I can't tell if I'm helping or hindering this late at night 😉

That error code is mos def a reference to deadbeef, though. no doubt about it. Possibly an easter egg in itself.

[sacred bane]

here is that 4 color thingy I spoke to earlier #easter-eggs message Rob eye's the Spectral Lines of Calcium shortly after.

#easter-eggs message

idk i’ve been trying things and nothing is really making sense, then again, i don’t know what i’m doing im kinda just figuring out how this stuff works as i go

i’m gonna call it quits for tonight, hopefully when i wake up tomorrow something interesting happened or is happening 👍

[opaque thistle]

Player Id?

[timid solstice]

Hmm maybe it’s Scottie’s!

[lunar geyser]

i had no idea the easter eggs were so in depth!

i would love to become involed in the hunt

[fresh quiver]

then welcome here! 🙂

I would suggest to check the pinned messages and #egg-hunt-onboarding

[dull marsh]

WHY ARE SO MANY THREADS ARCHIVED AT ONCE??!! 😭

[cold heart]

i wonder, do some of them have inactivity set to 3 days?

[fresh quiver]

because we didnt write in them for some time 😄

[hearty meteor]

#1227704786544230420 was archived after 2h of inactivity

[dull marsh]

#1211002564015824906 got archived for me

[fresh quiver]

tbh. i couldnt even remind myself anymore which threads I created

[fresh quiver]

lol. still visible for me o.O
Discord having bugs again?

[dull marsh]

I typed in and deleted to bring it back from the dead

[hearty meteor]

[fresh quiver]

accidently unjoined it? did u checked if you were still "subscribed" to it?

[cold heart]

yeah i wonder what other charms have secrets that we dont know about 🤔

[cold heart]

oh yeah facts it was, i didnt realise till you said

[fresh quiver]

you could have checked that with right click and checking if it is saying "Join Thread" or "Leave Thread"

[dull marsh]

I did not "accidentally unjoined" 10 threads lol

[fresh quiver]

who knows 😄

[hearty meteor]

the member list was completely gone and listed as archived

[dull marsh]

I feel like some CM been messing around

[fresh quiver]

well. okay thats weird.

[dull marsh]

Or those new "ambassadors"

[fresh quiver]

Dunley?`Jack? who of you guys played around again? 😄

[hearty meteor]

also i’ve been on mobile this entire time i cant even unjoin threads

[cold heart]

you can its just like 4 menus deep iirc..

[fresh quiver]

just

[dull marsh]

That's bad if Rob was kicked out of threads too

[cold heart]

the list seems like its gotten everyone there though

[dull marsh]

@wanton sundial did you guys archive our threads? 😭

[cold heart]

after bumping it back, the members where restored so i think its fine... (now)

[dull marsh]

Hmm, so maybe a bug 🤔

My thread list is the same tho

Half are missing

[hearty meteor]

cns posts just came back for me, atsuhiro sent a message

[cold heart]

i do think whoever owns a given thread should check this just in case (i wish you could set it for longer than a week 🙁 )

but it defo doesnt explain why the TFEEOS would go down after 2hrs

[solar glade]

pretty sure inactive threads disappear automatically from your list but they’re still available on the channel - essentially you need to send messages so they reappear

[dull marsh]

Sure, but a bunch of recently active threads all got archived at once for seemingly no reason

[solar glade]

the ones i’m in haven’t gone away so

and they’re not archived, i can still see the threads if i click on the channel

[wanton sundial]

Hm, no, but lemme check the settings

I see all of them, even the inactive ones. Not sure what the issue is, but I changed the visibility setting to 1 week (shouldn't affect the thread list, though)

[inner sand]

I think it could be a discord bug. It goes away on other servers as well

[fossil sonnet]

inactive threads close after a duration

[cold heart]

We know..

[fossil sonnet]

well its why you no longer see them 😮

[snow walrus]

i blame Discord

[naive kernel]

There was a bug a week ago where random discord threads that had been inactive for (literally years) reactivated for no reason, so this might be a knock-on bug from Discord

[supple knot]

hey guys why is half of grass black behind the practice range

i become black either

what is that zone? what did embark tested here

[cold heart]

its OOB, its not related to the EE nor is it important

its just a lighting bug, that doesnt effect gameplay

[supple knot]

can you decrypt?

[supple knot]

alr thx

[cold heart]

decrypt? what do you mean

full meaning of word

sry am not english person

OOB = Out of Bounds

EE = Easter Egg (hunt)

We were saying some were active very recently

the magical word for this is normally "Audit Log". But im not sure if the audit log also logs this

A lot of threads haven’t been active for a month

There were threads that where only inactive for a couple hours and became archived

Is it still happening

I didn't notice

No, people been sending message there to unarchive them

atsu and i were chatting in CNS posts earlier, and then suddenly it was gone

hopefully just a bug

could be CNS

which threads were closed?

was off-topic closed?

#video-player-reports message

So it was a bot

closed all threads

[dull marsh]

Ooooooooooh makes sense!

[hard forge]

JIRA TICKET CLOSED

[runic furnace]

Im guessing this is known alr: the key command charm has an easter egg when u press Ctrl Z l. Going to look if other items in the shop have easter eggs too.

[hard forge]

it's known

[snow walrus]

how did you guys figure that was the bot

[hard forge]

i just wanted to close the ticket.

[hard forge]

what else could it be?

[hard forge]

that post was made 4 hours after this message. So i reckon they may be testing something at that time.

Which may have caused all threads to close.

Your thread will be closed after we view the report.

[dull marsh]

Yeah a little bot bug would be a good explanation and the timing weirdly coincides

I've been looking at it but I don't really know how much I understand 😭

I did take a look at the most recent picture of

I noticed at the top of the image very top of the image

Going all the way across

It looks like there are letters but they're cut in half

I'm not really good at Photoshop so I don't know how to cut all of that top portion off and fold it over into the letters

I'm not a high enough level to attach an image so I don't know how to show people what I mean but I'm talking about the

I'm talking about this image all the way at the top

Going all the way across the top of the image

I'm also not quite certain how to get involved with the monkey thing and how do we find more players to do like a private campaign to just search the map for the monkey clues

I also have a really dumb question

I used to listen to an artist who used to encode pictures and data into their music and songs that they published and produced

Do you think there are any Easter eggs or any clues encoded in the music for the finals?

[dull marsh]

Hey, nice research! We've analyzed that image quite a bit into #1220636359153291284 message but we don't know what those infos mean

We know that it's related to the Black Knight satellite conspiracy theory (the conspiracy theory part seems irrelevant for the hunt tho)

[dull marsh]

I strongly think it might be related to the decryption key in the new gamemode, might be the key appearing on terminal screen when we insert it

[lunar geyser]

May I please see?
I don't think I've seen this

[cold heart]

the decryption key is in the trailer for the new gamemode.. its functionally just the same as a vault but youre inserting it into the terminal

the new event is lore heavy though, so we think there is going to be EEs/ clues within it

Oh yes I saw that in the trailer I just thought there was some sort of code that you got from it somehow?

I'm curious how you got a code out of that

Where did this come from exactly?

[alpine junco]

[timid solstice]

So what stage are we at with level 3?
Do we need to find the monkeys in game and provide proof to rob and then we get more hints or do we combine info we know from all 3 to make a password?

Is there a thread for tried passwords?

[cold heart]

the current idea is that each part of level3 (WR, Dolphins, and 3HMs) will give us letters that combine into the password

#1226677330689261631

like WRs gave us "S Lies"
and Dolphins gave us "Cetacea"

there is also things like the "Black Knight satellite" clue though which we also havent figured out how its linked either...

[timid solstice]

Thanks

[alpine junco]

And scotty mentions a meteor or 12

Very specific

[silk basin]

So fun fact. The gateway gadget can get you out of the map apparently (at least in tutorial).
I was trying to see something in the water on Monaco and I did not die from falling for like 4 minutes.
I don't think any EEs will be hidden OOB but hey if you're struggling to get to that thing, maybe try a gateway lol

Also the sky is really pretty under the map
...but then it gets loud, dark and a little creepy

[cold heart]

we know thanks, getting OOBs has been in the game before S2 though... It's also confirmed EEs arent found OOBs and its not really allowed, sorry

check #egg-hunt-onboarding for some of the rules/spirits of the hunt ^^

[silk basin]

Ah my bad, no harm intended. I'll have a better suss of them rules 🙂

[cold heart]

no harm done

tbh i dont think we explicitly state that glitches and such are discouraged from the hunt in that channel... and that none of the EEs require exploiting them

if i dont.. could someone ping Justice when theyre next online 🙏 🥺 might be worth adding, we only mention datamining and web exploits from what i can see

[sacred bane]

what were the steps of S1 OOB? I never reproduced this and now I'm curious.

⁠Monaco Graffitis⁠ [3/11 found]
this blows my damn mind... how? no, no... how?!?!

[cold heart]

goo + ceiling

[dull marsh]

No no no, we know there are at least 5 graffitis on Monaco, and 11 in total probably in the game

We have no idea if the 11 are in Monaco exclusively or on various maps

[sacred bane]

ohhhh ok.

does S Lies count as 1?

[dull marsh]

We don't think so

neat, maybe I'll peel my eyes while 100% avoiding the monkeys.

[dull marsh]

Hehe good luck 😄

[hidden wedge]

im knew to all this... theres monkeys?!

[cold heart]

three-headed ones infact 🙂

[sacred bane]

Supposedly 😉

[sacred bane]

check the pinned messages in here, it has all the really good info.

[sharp flame]

We don't know if the one is 3 headed and its' 9 children are normal tbf

But they should be all over Monaco..

[cold heart]

i suppose so 🤔 never thought about it like that

[hidden wedge]

amazing!! thanks 😄

[sacred bane]

also check the pinned messages within the respective Threads. 3 headed monkey is fairly well organized to remove other EE clues.

[bronze crag]

Whats odila the tricksters backstory id love to know more

[fallow radish]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Odilia :)

[cold heart]

id love to know more about the old contestants tbh

its one of my fave parts about things like The Hunger Games

[fallow radish]

the EE is great and all, but I'm so excited for more lore

EEs are a great puzzle, but the lore is something I can form a special interest around lmao

[dull marsh]

I really like the regular EE hunt tho, 3HM is being kinda boring to me as there is very little to dig into, but when it's for a password... the whole of Wikipedia is mine 😄

But yeah the lore gives some meaning to all of that which feels great

[fallow radish]

Yeah fair point, maybe I'm a little lower on the EE this week because of how slow it's been. Grass is always greener!

When we have leads to go on though, I love that shit, it's terribly fun to do that research and try and connect theories :)

[hard forge]

I want that d*mn monkey to be found so I can use my tin foil hat.

[dull marsh]

Yeah, I can't wait for us to find one (1) 3HM, that way we can have something to grab onto

Everyone involved should get a 3hm pet. 😉

[tired bridge]

free monkeys for everyone lmao

[fallow radish]

Is "COMETA" one of the sponsors? #1210710330980700250 message

Only other reference I see is on the blue helmet #easter-eggs message

[sharp flame]

rob casually leaking future lore

oh, that's my message!

wow I'm here too often

[sharp flame]

from memory it's also in ARC concept art and also Finals Beta trailer

It flashes very briefly as a logo

[wicked pier]

cometa is a word in italian, stands for comet, but stella cometa is also a symbol in christian religion, named "star of bethlehem" (literal translation), which is the star that flew right as Jesus was born. It's referred to also the star put on top of christmas trees. Bethlehem Star is also a white flower
https://www.lifegate.it/app/uploads/fiore-di-bach.jpg

oh welp

this one

[sharp flame]

Yeah it's a comet logo

[pure loom]

Just thought of this, but the CNS logo when viewed along its base is morse code -..- which is "X"

[snow walrus]

How CNS becomes -..-

[pure loom]

no, the base of the letters because they are 3D

[snow walrus]

ahh i did misunderstand sorry 😄 got it

[pure loom]

this shows it better

X marks the spot...

[fallen jasper]

Maybe #1233921983935418448 message
Has something in it

X as in twitter (?

[unkempt dune]

interesting thought

I wonder if it's intentional

[pure loom]

hell of a coincidence if it isn't

[unkempt dune]

and remember.. PTE -> CNS

if CNS is X

would that make PTE X?

for anyone confused:

[pure loom]

yeah, I'm still a bit baffled by that connection

[snow walrus]

only element starts with X is Xe

and it's a noble element

[unkempt dune]

well, PTE would be U in morse code (https://patorjk.com/software/taag/#p=display&f=Sub-Zero&t=CNS PTE)

[fresh quiver]

we may should try to work on unsolved links again. maybe rob gave clues in old messages. who knows

[unkempt dune]

I looked through the S2 trailer and didn't see anything that would hint towards the dolphins

but maybe I missed it (if there is something)

[pure loom]

yeah, we are still making some progress - @solar glade and I chatted about the "2095" he spotted in one of the lore vignettes likely being when THE FINALS is placed chronologically just a day or two ago here: #easter-eggs message

[unkempt dune]

yesterday I was talking about this from the S2 trailer: #1216778676931399823 message

[fresh quiver]

also reminding this
1404E210DDFD 4FA5E227933D2 1A3DC

[snow walrus]

what was it

[fresh quiver]

#easter-eggs message

was never solved

[snow walrus]

I've never seen that before

[fresh quiver]

also did not found an answer to 711214 #easter-eggs message

[fresh quiver]

could be some more that I post. just looking through the message dump again

[snow walrus]

6 digits just like YMF292

[pure loom]

Has anyone had a go at noting as much out of this as they can?

[unkempt dune]

we talked about that yesterday I think

I can't remember who typed it out

[hearty meteor]

smashel

[lunar geyser]

Do you mean the looks like cut off text at the top

[lunar geyser]

Carbon nitrogen sulfur?

[snow walrus]

it's related to hex values somehow

[pure loom]

I tried decoding some of the binary and did get the word "hyper" from one line

other lines seemed to be non-decipherable

[unkempt dune]

what smashel typed out: #📕┇lore message

[ruby plume]

I found a happy face on a texture from a tree on Highway Stadium :)

Rly cute

[pure loom]

did you capture an image of it? You'll need to post via imgur as you won't have permissions to post images yet

(also, I presume you meant Skyway Stadium)

[chrome scarab]

Monty Python References

Holy Grail - White Rabbit (https://youtu.be/XcxKIJTb3Hg) & Black Night (https://youtu.be/ZmInkxbvlCs)
"That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!"
"You monkey.."

RAF Banter - Monkeys (https://youtu.be/5rKYL0tW-Ek&t=108)
"Bunch of monkeys on the ceiling, sir!"

I find it interesting you can connect quite a few things from this password with monty python

couldn't find a dolphin reference with a quick search

[cold heart]

did you mean to send the same video twice?

[unkempt dune]

oh woops

[cold heart]

oooh yes the killer bunny

i love Monty Python, i couldnt find much deep into it though... didnt find the monkey stuff though

[sharp flame]

What that could have been telling us is that simply there is an Abbreviation called CNS important to Embark. which at that time (correct me if wrong) we knew nothing/little about

[cold heart]

thats a good summary of the find though

[fallen jasper]

I was playing in the horizon map and there is a huge rainbow 🌈 that pops up .-. reminds me of Örf

[pure loom]

true

[sharp flame]

true times two

[pure loom]

true, true

https://tenor.com/view/thats-true-kramer-seinfeld-gif-6564373007119861775

[fallen jasper]

The body paint is so much information there x.x

I'll be wearing that body paint might be the trigger we need... X.x (not a rabbit 🐰 maigth be a duck 🦆(? ) or am I bit outdated on those EE 🍉

[fringe trench]

woah this site is sick

[cold heart]

yeah getting X from CNS is amazing ngl

[alpine junco]

could it lead to the key

caeser leads to 'c_cta'_ssus cupdtaafhbbsa 'pbsr

[fallen jasper]

CNS carbon nitrogen and sulfur (?

[alpine junco]

What if theres an easter egg by equipping the same skin,charm, and sticker

[warm lantern]

wassup been a while

we got t3 yet?

[warm lantern]

it could be like "the white rabbit is the key"

type beat

bc tattoo

i feel like the tattoo of a literal key was very intentionally kept in that image

The song "White Rabbit" is in fsharp minor if thats what theyre getting at also

notated with F#m

bit reachy tho

[alpine junco]

yeah

[warm lantern]

FR?

[alpine junco]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfeeactivationlvl3

this is where we are at

[warm lantern]

oohhh my god finally

what was it?

[alpine junco]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/t3-f also

the password was 0v0aurum

[warm lantern]

oh damn alr

is the resources thread still up so i can catch up on what this dolphins about?

[alpine junco]

#1225865941456392212

the dolphin has been solved tho

all 5 wr found

[warm lantern]

so we're on monke?

[alpine junco]

and left is the monkey

yeah

#1211002564015824906

[warm lantern]

#monke

lmaooo

yeah cheers

so general idea is we find them around the maps yeah?

[alpine junco]

there have been hints given by rob

but nothing found so far from them

[copper sequoia]

Rob had mentioned that there might be a good location in Vegas to spot something related to constellations. Do you think he meant like an irl geocache? If so, I'm here on a work trip. Open to suggestions

[fallen jasper]

We haven't made much progress but rob has given some pretty big hints, there are several placed in specific spots around the map, one of them is "in the open", we also know it most likely isn't seen through an actual reflection but a metaphorical one.

[warm lantern]

imma finish up class and my gdd then ill get cooking and search

[fallen jasper]

Oh and it's more likely seen during specific periods (most likely in-game time), also it's (almost certainly) a spray.

[warm lantern]

i mean i BEEN saying the lobby has something to do with something

[warm lantern]

yeah i figured it was a spray

[fallen jasper]

The image of it is pinned in the 3hm thread I believe

[warm lantern]

yeah ikik

theres drips

[lavish latch]

damn

[unkempt dune]

It's interesting that the killer rabbit can be related back to a red fox. That reminds me of the fox bundle from this season. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynard_the_Fox

[warm lantern]

lot of punk-esque themes
