Also the way the onesie looks along with the “hairy” references, it makes me think of the movie “Harry and the Hendersons.”

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

In 1960, the first appropriate space probe was launched: Project Echo, a 30 m diameter balloon satellite. By then the whole of Western Europe could be linked together geodetically with accuracies 2–10 times better than by classical triangulation.

Rocket fuels are very advanced - sometimes solid, sometimes liquid, hybrid, kryogene.. even oxidizers are used. I'd go with RP-1

There even was a rocket start on 1997/10/16 but it was the chinese CZ-3B which sadly is not running on RP-1 :D

The Saturn V (first moonlanding rocket) used RP1

[hard current]

reminds me of #1332916596821327873

[dusk siren]

I've mentioned tectonic plates a few times... perhaps since the pattern on the carpets don't seem to make a nice network, where you clearly have vertices and edges, maybe it's deliberately intended to represent a more chaotic process

Incidentally, this might just be lore, but I bet you guys were much smarter than me when it came to Holtow's sun insurance. Two ways the "sun can go out"... asteroid strike throwing up debris into the atmosphere that can persist for years or the same effect caused by a large volcanic eruption.

Volcanic activity associated with tectonic plates and the earth's magnetic polarity...

[fading vigil]

Volcano ee is somewhere on Bernal, also there is an interesting idea about axolotl, named after Xolotl

[crisp eagle]

I personally think the Holtow Sun Insurance was just a hint at it being Aztec/Mayan/Mexico themed for season 5. That culture feared the sun going out if they didn’t do certain rituals.

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

That and we had the alien event and return of the alien bundle. Bernal is a hot spot for UFO sightings I think

[unborn pilot]

First word is probably just Sasquatch. That’s the first thing that comes to mind.

[crisp eagle]

I think there’s one in BF too when Rob worked at DICE. I remember seeing a map where if you stand in the right spot you can see a light apear out of bounds. If you shoot it, you can hear Sasquatch yell

[fresh quiver]

there is in BF4. Ludo mentioned that 20messages or so ago 😄 #easter-eggs message

Its a fun EE. iirc you needed to shoot at the light with a rocketlauncher

[crisp eagle]

Hahaha this is what I get for not reading all the messages anymore

[jaunty basalt]

OK, It finally happened again: so normally looks like this:

after qualifying 2nd in 1st round vegas WT:

it may have something to do with vegas, as I hadnt seen the number change in a while and now vegas is back in rotation

the arguement could be made that it's just some mem-saving thumbnail type thing... but I dont think so

[fading vigil]

What’s your player number on others cosmetics?

[fresh quiver]

27

[jaunty basalt]

Im offline atm, but I noted other outfits give other (alt?) numbers from memory, I will rotate my outfits and report back... Ive seen a lot of numbers over time

[silk flax]

Did we ever figure out what the numbers on each player amounted to?

Mines always been 6

[fading vigil]

Mine always been 64

[jaunty basalt]

I think somebody on reddit suggested made up of player number somehow, but I think it's still being debated?

[fading vigil]

But need to check

[silk flax]

Wheres that from?

[dusk siren]

I don't believe in it, but in the interest of each of us pushing in different directions based on our most recent ideas, respectively...
Fossil fuels are "SUNKEEPERS" (they store the energy of the sun for millennia), and they have been a treasure and a curse according to different perspectives

[dusk siren]

👆 This definitely has to be at least one and perhaps the only interpretation.

[crisp eagle]

Haha makes me think of the cursed Aztec gold from Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Gold of Cortés. So long as you had even one piece taken from the whole thing, you were cursed.

[dusk siren]

Feel free to strongly disagree about the collar / cape thing, though

[crisp eagle]

Or maybe the Treasure of Montezuma. Interesting find on that though:
“However, none of the histories of the conquest, such as The True History of the Conquest of New Spain by Bernal Díaz del Castillo, say that Montezuma was ever held for ransom by the conquistadors or that any people of the area were told to hide their treasure from the Spanish.”

Bernal also served under Cortés.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montezuma's_treasure

[dusk siren]

The fact that he is clean-shaven seems to pose a problem for the "ruffled collar" theory, as I go through old artworks...

[dusk siren]

The white "collar" might actually be an academic "hood" to go with an academic gown. Of course it would be "hood," which will certainly confuse modern search engines...

Many of you have alrady thought that it is most likely going to be a scientist or academic of some kind

[true girder]

Hey I found a reference

[ashen hill]

Where is that?

[true girder]

The “lone operator” set is a reference to a French spy movie called “Léon” or “The Operator”

I don’t know if one of you already knew that but I still wanted to point it out

[hard current]

that’s news to us:)

isn’t it Leon: the professional?

[fading vigil]

on the new v9s skin there is some digits on the golden part

[true girder]

Probably

I literally don’t know anything about the movie I just recognized the main character’s glasses and beanie looked almost exactly the same as a cosmetic in the game

[fresh quiver]

should be. iirc the idea came up that this is a nod as it was released. but not sure rn 😄

[fast frigate]

They do, nice observation

[fresh quiver]

But anyway. thats a great catch! 🙂

[true girder]

Thank you!

[true girder]

Hey my clan tag is “Freaq”

That’s funny

[fresh quiver]

People who can see this details/nods are always welcome.

and tbh. Fresh eyes are always great. especially at this times.

[true girder]

I’m surprised that it wasn’t noticed before!

[fresh quiver]

It was probably if I have it right in my mind.

But as said. still a good catch

[true girder]

I was just about to post pictures!

I do wonder if it has any actual significance to the Easter egg hunt

[snow walrus]

It's possible. There are a lot of movies/artists have connections in the hunt

[fading vigil]

Nvm, it’s on all pistols

Yesterday had a bug(?)
https://ibb.co/GvQntB04

[fresh quiver]

yea. just noticed again that Rob called Leonard Euler "Leon" instead of Euler or Leonhard

[fresh quiver]

hm. thats a long shot... you dont put the 2nd "powe" in pesperctive. and just using the first one.

But who knows. Only rob ._.

[dusk siren]

I was merely noting the Euler connection

[dusk siren]

Also, I actually did use part of the second powe if you read it

[white heron]

hey @proud minnow by chance with the secret room for the people that have their names in it, as a question would there be a time when we can access it
(edited) also what are the requirements to have peoples name there

[fresh quiver]

please dont ping Embark.

Also Oscar does not have any Infos on any Easter-Eggs! Only Rob and (and maybe stig) knows

[white heron]

just changed it

[fresh quiver]

You still pinged Embark

[white heron]

mb im kinda new

[white heron]

and that means i get kicked

[fresh quiver]

probably not. But it annoys them.

If you would get pinged X times a day. you also would be annoyed.

[white heron]

look its only once

[fresh quiver]

yeah. YOU pinged him once.

But if everyone does that.

They exponentally grows the amount of pings

But I guess Marshall will tell you something 🙂

You're fine don't worry, mistakes happen. Let's get back on topic and no Embark pings

i just dont chat on discord that much cuz i dont have time and i want my name in the room cuz why not

[hard forge]

we don't know what's in the room

[pure loom]

Before we had clues pointing to silk and Sven Hedin, did we have anything that might have pointed to the Silk Road at all? I'm wondering if it's just a stepping stone to something that does relate to previous clues.

[dusk siren]

Well, someone definitely mentioned Silk Road

Also that person had the impression that we had enough clues about the Northwest Passage that is was worth noting we might have two transit routes at this point

[hard current]

I’m curious if one of the many unsolved clues for powe_is_powe could have been pointing there

[hard current]

I thinkkk that was me that mentioned northwest passage and silk road

though, why all the other clues? I don’t believe there’s a strong connection to northwest passage

and how to make sense of it with 123, null, and hex is another matter entirely

[pure loom]

they seem more like clues to general exploration or journeys

[hard current]

so I’m not certain that what we really needed is silk road, and not “hex” from svedin

[white heron]

ik

[pure loom]

yeah, maybe it was just hex

[hard current]

@pure loom can you correct me, sven hedin lead to hex? or was that piet?

sorry I’ve got fever brain and haven’t been on my pc to look at the miro at all

[pure loom]

oh yeah, Piet Hein

[hard current]

yeahhh but I can’t recall where northwest passage came from

[dusk siren]

I was just reporting what you yourself wrote...🤷 😅

[white heron]

i just dont get the time to do this sort of ee's

[hard current]

oh yes, just at this time I can’t recall where nw passage was mentioned, I think some people though the NW coordinates clue could’ve been it

[dusk siren]

We have mapped locations that are pretty strongly associated with the Northwest Passage

I just assumed that's where you were coming from... fwiw

It might be debatable whether the mapped location in Kazakhstan is along the Silk Road or not... I'm not familiar with the actual route

[white heron]

not sure if you know but he is also a danish polymath

[dusk siren]

I'm still not aware of all the things @gloomy anvil was referring to, but he figured it was enough to post in the Rob look here thread

[white heron]

would we go back find 'parry' then that leads us to islands then to the passage

to me northwest passage sound like the train line from one country to another that is underwater

[dusk siren]

Of course... I guess Rob not eyeing it is itself one counterargument?

[white heron]

wdym

[dusk siren]

about the counterargument? I didn't mean dispositivve

Just if you were totalling up pros and cons, it would be a con for now

To me, there's a relatively strong connection between Northwest Passage and Silk Road, notwithstanding whether NWP is actually part of the puzzle. Both represent trading routes

[hard current]

not exactly, Rob won’t eye something every time

correct things have been said in past levels that rob didn’t eye

[dusk siren]

exactly

[gloomy anvil]

I don't treat this as a counterargument anymore. There have been several connections made before that Rob hasn't eyed for one reason or another. I would only treat two things as counterarguments these days

1. Rob telling us something isn't correct, or transparently leading us away from something.
2. Rob eyeing a different interpretation of something, and not any others.

[dusk siren]

But if he had eyed it... then we'd already know NWP was in play. That was all I was getting at

[white heron]

NWP may mean North West Point

[dusk siren]

I was just abbreviating for convenience.... sry!

Anyway, I for one am currently for the connection between Silk Road and Northwest Passage. I wouldn't have kicked off this discussion in response to RHB's post if I wasn't

[white heron]

this may also mean that it might be the top left part of the butterfly

so this part could lead us check the level 3 thread

[fresh quiver]

Silk Fibroin leads to hex too.

The silk worm produces fibroin with three chains, the light, heavy, and the glycoprotein P25."

If you look up "glycoprotein P25" you will notice it is also named Fibrohexamin

[hard current]

more hex then…

so many clues to null 1 2 3 and hex

but there’s no good way to combine those afaik

[fresh quiver]

yep. we never mentioned Fibrohexamin yet. now we did. I think that Hex is our most important clue right now in addition to 123

[white heron]

sven hedin is a Swedish geographer so this may also have links to Piet Hein and these names may gives us a clue where to look as the first part of the butterfly with the coords sweden and denmark are outside of it

[hard current]

null in hex is 00

[white heron]

i think that these names may comfirm the area of the first butterfly and we have to move to the next one like look back history wise

[hard current]

so… 00123

[hard current]

I’m not entirely confident the coordinates matter quite yet, the way they rotate makes me think once we find the three passwords for that tier, it’ll “lock in” a coordinate

so we have 5, but we’ll end up with 3

[white heron]

this is ASCII?

[fresh quiver]

evereything is ascii. but ASCII 123 would be "S"

[fresh quiver]

yeah. it just looks like a butterfly because mirrored into all directions.
You would not even notice that it can look like that if we wouldnt have mirrored. Just because we wanted all the other coords too 😄

[white heron]

im using https://www.eso.org/~ndelmott/ascii.html and 123 as a decimal is left brace

but the hex is 7B

[earnest juniper]

like how slot machines work kinda?

[white heron]

no we have to narrow it down to 3 to lock in the cords but we have 5

[fresh quiver]

more like a targeting lock

[white heron]

slot machines is random

[fresh quiver]

But guess you could see it as slot aswell

both locks in a slot

[white heron]

i see it as a process of elimantation

[earnest juniper]

yeah, the correct pass would lock a portion of the changing cords at the top, thus giving us the number once all 3 are put in

slots minus the randomness of it

[hard current]

wait was this all Rob meant then when he posted

{

{ = 123

[white heron]

yeah what i found and its 7b for hex

[fresh quiver]

{ 7B
} 7D

[white heron]

im thinking that we create a small image by finding the hex stuff

and 7c is |

[hard current]

we’ve also seen

}

hidden very well in the vaiiya image

[white heron]

{|}

it looks like a butterfly

[hard current]

so..
{ = 123 = 7B
} = 125 = 7D

[white heron]

but what about 7C

7C is |

not l

[hard current]

hmm… even with this information, I don’t think I can make anything of it

BUT { = 123 might be exactly what Rob was getting at when he posted that

[fresh quiver]

we have not even got 1 clue about |

thats why we just exclude it rn.

Or we could see it as something because it is between both

[hard current]

yeah I think they’re just logically extracting since we’ve seen { } and rob posted {

[white heron]

that being a butterfly who knows i may be wrong

[hard current]

mmm haven’t had any connections to butterflies

[white heron]

im thinking about the map

[dusk siren]

I see what you were getting at. How frequently does Rob do 'double clues'? Very rarely to never or just rarely? Point being, maybe it was both. As several more insightful people than me pointed out, the game "Hex" is like forming a "road" after all.

[hard current]

I think tbh { = 123 is likely what Rob was getting at

[hard current]

most have ignored the map for now as we haven’t been able to do anything with it:)

[hard current]

ehhhhh I can’t recall to be honest

but if rob posted { = 123, he must have thought that we were close and that that would have tipped us into a solution… why…

[dusk siren]

Not just posted "{"... also in the VAIIYA image, right... so I agree it is probably important in its way

[white heron]

yes hex is a game "Hex (also called Nash) is a two player abstract strategy board game in which players attempt to connect opposite sides of a rhombus-shaped board made of hexagonal cells. Hex was invented by mathematician and poet Piet Hein in 1942 and later rediscovered and popularized by John Nash." we also have had Piet Hein been mentioned

its like connecting roads

with the game

[fresh quiver]

butterfly not. But cicada was mentioned by rob times ago

[white heron]

"Cicada 3301 is the name given to three sets of puzzles posted under the name "3301" online between 2012 and 2014."

[fresh quiver]

im doing a shot which probably will not work out. you can see it soon in #1226677330689261631

(If my browser would load..)

[white heron]

3 sets of puzzles which in our case is 3 sets of passwords so we are kinda doing cicada

"The puzzles focused heavily on data security, cryptography, steganography, and Internet anonymity"

my thinking internet anonymity is being CNS, data security as terminal attack

[hard forge]

don't mix up in-game EE and the big whoop

[white heron]

its my idea thought thats all

[dusk siren]

Just a last thought for the day from me: it seems like people are super into pushing for a single interpretation for things. I appreciate the potential benefits of that (you could get more people pulling in one's preferred direction), but it also seems to me that if someone doesn't like someone else's interpretation of something, they could just ignore it and let the other person continue to work on the thing they find interesting.

[fresh quiver]

and not mix lore within them too

[hard forge]

sharing mine too : )

so cicada from what i found is that the way people moved on was from an image to a message that then led to a book and then a link

1st part was for it to end as no one could share infomation and only the highly intelligent people allowd to solve it

[hard current]

cicada was mentioned a long long long time ago, no clues to this level point that way 🙂

[white heron]

my thinking is that we have to think about how people solve cicada because this ee is giving me vibes to cicada

Might be something to do with this perhaps?

[timid solstice]

So we have the land masses of;
Europe: 10.53 million km2 North America: 24.71 million km2 Asia: 44.58 million km2
#easter-eggs message

The way its hidden in that press kit image is kinda like the Level 3 page

MW.AREA #1 MW.AREA #2 MW.AREA #3
So we know that the AREA part is for the area of the land mass

So what can the MW. be?
m = 13 and w = 23
13:23 or 1 2 3

The names of the password pages are;
mma1-c mma2-c mma3-c
mma1-b mma2-b mma3-b
mma1-a mma2-a mma3-a

should the names be wma instead, whats the significance of that mm?

Regardless we have a, b and c leading upto the total area

So Im thinking the passwords should add to the total land mass or its just symbolism for each a, b, c password adding up

So now we know the land mass and what they potentially add up to, can se work back words from there?

[fresh quiver]

M = 0x4D
W = 0x57

but does not make much sense to turn MW into hex

[fresh quiver]

well. only thing that stood out now for me:

There is a scientific experiment named 4D57.

Somebody recently mentioned the placement of land areas in the key art being split across rows as well as columns, which suggests

• Europe = column 1, row 1 (1C)
• NA = column 2, row 2 (2B)
• Asia = column 3, row 3 (3A)

[fading vigil]

Sounded a bit like trolling “that place is hidden and they don’t know how to get there yet, hehehehe”

[crisp eagle]

Maybe he’s near the “Volcano” on Bernal since you don’t see it in the photo

[snow walrus]

maybe the footprint is at somewhere

[sweet thistle]

Mobile editing is hard.

[unkempt crypt]

coudlyou please not spam memes?

[snow walrus]

dw we have threads for everything bcs why not#1236059248820093010

[sweet thistle]

He's doing it on purpose to troll me

[alpine junco]

Maybe the path it walks?

[rugged breach]

We're on night now. Definitely a billboard clipped into the building

[alpine junco]

So Rob using 4 “hehehehe” = chaotic good

But 2 “hehe” = chaotic evil

[rugged breach]

Also fun fact, many bernal oob buildings are crooked

[hard current]

aw that’s fun 😂

I’d join you guys but sickness is all consuming

[unreal jetty]

I don't have access to any but one?

[fresh quiver]

Should work if you click on them?

[sly nimbus]

I was messing around with flight bug un sys$horizon and found this.

the view is looking into the side of the Building that says "loading..." at the top.

looks like there is some kind of structure inside.

also this is my first post on easter eggs :)

this is a clip of it

[unreal jetty]

It just says I don't have access

[fresh quiver]

Weird.

[dusk siren]

"cracking" and "nulled"... fwiw

[velvet narwhal]

rob has a background in cracking/hacking so I wouldn't be surprised

[timid solstice]

Erm did we ever highlight this?

Going down the old mine with a transistor radio
burrw waves

Rob clued back to this song for some reason

[hard forge]

wow

Nice findings @timid solstice

[woeful cipher]

Sys-Horizon all over that song

[hard forge]

just took us 2 years lol

[timid solstice]

thanks! I was in the kitchen and it was playing in the background and I was like "what did he just sing ?!"

We got into the burrw website 6 days after
#easter-eggs message

Other song names on the artworks and dates the images were posted;

23-11-19 van morrison brown eyed girl lyrics
22-11-25 van morrison red sports car lyrics
22-12-03 van morrison into the mystic lyrics
22-12-09 van morrison beside you lyrics
22-12-21 van morrison keep it simple lyrics

[sly nimbus]

do you think this could contain clues to the location of the EE-shrine on sys$Horizon?
i dont konw the timeline of the clue relative to the map release

[runic umbra]

I now have seen true madness. on a miro board.
(also there's aVC full with people expecting something hilarious from me.. lol)

also hello and greetings from BFEE. might have seen that one.

[pure loom]

@runic umbra welcome! Great to have you join us from BFEE!

[snow walrus]

welcome welcome! ❤️

[tranquil minnow]

I see more poor souls are now bound to the hunt

(Welcome )

[sharp flame]

A friendly face! Hello!!

[hard current]

should bring more of the bfee hunters 👀

[lone wave]

Yeah they’re gonna love this one! Also it’s Rob’s next (and probably best) chapter so that makes sense

[rugged breach]

Did something happen with battlefield or are hunters just now getting interested?

Love the reinforcments either way, especially from a similar insane asylum

[alpine junco]

I think that battleifled being on sale very often is helping

[timid solstice]

there just isnt much in terms of a hunt anymore , as far as we know..
we had teaster eggs for every season and the final thing that was cool was a SHARKNADO
https://youtu.be/f7rIM0nlLE0

since then its been quiet because there was the circles of hell Halloween update which gave a player card but there wasnt anything else

I was hoping for the oppersite of the challange egg in bfv which was build a huge tower in the sky and instead explore down underground like dantes inferno going down layers but nothing came from it

[crisp eagle]

This was the very first song I ever learned on guitar. I never thought of that lyric, while knowing brown eyed girl was a clue before. I quit. It's been real, guys.

[crisp eagle]

Welcome to your new home! 🫡

[crisp eagle]

I think the transistor radio saying/lyric means something like "don't go into a new, dangerous place with just a radio"
you'd want to be more prepared than that, and the radio waves would just stop after a certain point.
I think it's a clear nod to the song and/Van in general, but I wanted to possibly break that lyric down just in case haha

[fading vigil]

Was lurking on old RHB videos, and found unsolved ciphers from Up We Go art and Namatama next to art release
The ciphers with crosses in two strings (one horizontal cipher, one vertical)
And also, I was curious about one “leak”, when Rob said to Waterdance to have a look to an elevator on the Seoul, that one that out of bounds.
Those elevator has two rows of windows too. I think, there might be some connection, or that ciphers are solved ?

[pure loom]

We noted that "xyrr1x2" could equal "carroll" but it could also equal "liddell" as in Alice Liddell, the inspiration for AIW https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Liddell

[pure loom]

I think the cross cipher was never solved

[timid solstice]

fingers names on the vaiiya image in order were;
kate beth terry
Elisabeth "Kate" Terry
https://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/artworks/elisabeth-kate-terry-23705
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Terry

The press kit hint was ordered the same, and different then the level 3 page
Europe America Asia
America Europe Asia

[fading vigil]

Yeah, so maybe we need find how it should be layered, cause the elevators goes up and down, but as I remember, left column of windows - always up, right - down (but may be wrong)
And it does some stops. Maybe, we could “exclude” symbols from cypher pics and get morse or binary

Sorry my English, it’s 4.30am for me

[pure loom]

This is a tricky question because we don't really know - in fact, it's almost better that we keep an open mind to how old clues might connect into the current or future part of the puzzle, because Rob may have designed it that way - that clues we thought we solved actually had a deeper connection.

[timid solstice]

Flamingo from Alice is the reason for it in the Finals as a mascot?

[pure loom]

Just continuing the path with Alice Liddell:

After her husband’s death in 1926, the cost of maintaining their home, Cuffnells, was such that she deemed it necessary to sell her copy of Alice's Adventures under Ground (Lewis Carroll's earlier title for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland). The manuscript fetched £15,400 (equivalent to £1,100,000 in 2023), nearly four times the reserve price given to it by Sotheby's auction house. It later became the possession of Eldridge R. Johnson and was displayed at Columbia University on the centennial of Carroll's birth. Alice was present, aged 80, and it was on this visit to the United States that she met Peter Llewelyn Davies, one of the brothers who inspired J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan.

Columbia University was established in 1754 as King's College on the grounds of Trinity Church in Manhattan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_University

"In the 1940s, faculty members, including John R. Dunning, I. I. Rabi, Enrico Fermi, and Polykarp Kusch, began what became the Manhattan Project, creating the first nuclear fission reactor in the Americas and researching gaseous diffusion."

[pure loom]

yeah, I'm starting to think that we get clues to in-game easter eggs within the official art, which is something we probably didn't consider much previously

[fading vigil]

Returning to this:
both ciphers are identical
Has same count of “blank” places as seouls elevator has stops, according to this message:

‘So im pretty sure the elevators from top floor = 1 go:
(51 total floors 'maybe')
L R
39 28
21 14
1 6
21 28
39 6
14
28’
Another theory: symbols on map edge walls can be used here too, maybe
Need to check: does lines of map wall has the same symbols on each map?

[dull marsh]

@gloomy anvil typo on the Seoul wiki page

On June 17, 2024, during Closed Beta 2
Should be 2023
Edit: forget it, I fixed it myself 😄

[hard current]

wow it’s been super quiet in here lately

my fever brain is gone so I’m ready to think again…

[fading vigil]

I’ve been stretching that ciphers and elevator, maybe you’ll see something there too

Also, tried to make graph of elevators positions, it looked alike Volkswagen logo

[fresh quiver]

We have just got the ball rolling

[gloomy anvil]

Good point about the names. This is a theme I was trying to put into words here, flipping the first two things in a set of three #easter-eggs message

[hard current]

does anyone have the threads to earlier level 3 images

like L3 aim, we should move those to the miro as well

[fading vigil]

Also, maybe we should have another board with only verified clues and solved ones?

[runic umbra]

thanks for that. as a whitename, I find it hard to distinguish between „this hint has fulfilled its purpose“ and „here rabbit hole, please dive in“.
(I am well aware that hints and solutions may be used not only for done steps, but might play into the big thing)

in other words: are there bits and bobs one could start digging without needing to know the full history of every solving process before?

[hard current]

yes @runic umbra

on the miro, there are multiple clues unsolved on an image called powe_is_powe

this image specifically, right now we've found a lot of stuff, but a lot of it hasn't been decoded to anything meaningful 🙂

wouldn't necessarily require any previous experience, these things could be decoded into anything... history, dates, math, scientific areas, geographers, space, ascii symbols, anything

and subsequently, could be solved in currently, any way you could maybe think of

[rugged breach]

Adding to this, nothing from poweris poweris poweris has been solved yet, save for a the 19971016 being a confirmed lost in space connection

[hard current]

yep! @rugged breach is right, essentially we've done the part of FINDING a lot of this stuff, but now we need help figuring it out how it all connects, and a lot of it is coded in a way that takes time to solve

[runic umbra]

quick question about that picture (set): was that published before or after level3 got unlocked?
also thanks for the headsup, I know its painful to explain to the newb.

[rugged breach]

Both after

[hard current]

no worries, everyone started new once 😉

[rugged breach]

And nw, it's a lot to get into. Even more so given how loose level 3 is compared to previous ones

[hard current]

@runic umbra if you haven't read through the wiki yet, I highly suggest you do, honestly it's a GREAT way to see how we've solved everything so far, those who write it have done an excellent job of creating a history for the hunt

[rugged breach]

I'm still fairly sure there's things we've not found, especially in poweris given how empty it is compared to the rest, been going back at it from time to time but not ran into anything new 😓

[runic umbra]

good. means it relates to that, and can be used as a starting point into it.
are the comments/findings below the state of affairs, or keywords to hide fully blown/done investigations?
..trying to find out if I can take something from there and try running, or if that has already been somewhat done.

[hard current]

I created that part of the miro (powe_is_powe), the comments underneath the main clues were my thoughts/others I gathered from this discord, and only serve as potential areas to explore their connections and could easily be not correct

[runic umbra]

I have been given a two hours tour of the operations yesterday.. Will start watching videos, reading up etc. but its A LOT, so parts of me also sont want to lose too much time in reading up. knowledge is circular, you know some, you ask some. you learn some.

[runic umbra]

best way to add to the thought chain without spamming?

[hard current]

not a problem, ee hunters are always welcoming to newcomers, any perspective can help, I think in the far past we had someone who never spoke in here solve one of our passwords simply because they stopped by and gave input, we never heard from them again iirc

[hard current]

you'll need to level up in the discord (the more you talk = more xp) which will allow you to access our threads with are essentialy thought spams on the images and clues

but for now, if you have relevant ideas that you believe in, they can always be posted here 🙂

[runic umbra]

so I need to spam in order to not spam. makes sense, lol

[rugged breach]

^ The miro is essentially the consolidation of more concrete leads

[hard current]

well sort of, the xp counter actually only increases every x seconds passed between messages (not sure what the timer is exactly), so spamming won't help

[runic umbra]

like. I probably have a ton of observations and comments, but alas, dunno how far you already took that

[hard current]

tell us here, we can tell you if we've looked into it, no other way of knowing right now 🙂

[runic umbra]

i know. its probably the samexp bot we use.

[rugged breach]

First level that gets you access to threads thankfully isn't too much xp, a conversation or two gets you it

[runic umbra]

ok. you just painted yourself a target for me @ ing you a lot about things and stuff! ❤️

[hard current]

that's not a problem, I work from home and have been sick the last couple days so... I'm locked in at home right now lol

[fresh quiver]

yea. earlier you needed contestant role 😄

[hard current]

but yeah, honestly the wiki is my go to for learning about all this

[runic umbra]

you guys have any kind of editing/curating poer in this channel? like cleaning up mesage if it gets too spammy?

[fresh quiver]

CMSs and Mods are safe-guarding the EE channels.

[hard current]

we'll ping a mod or cm if things get hectic, generally everyone in here is pretty respectful but in times past we've asked them to clean up messages 🙂

[runic umbra]

got you. using these questions to level up, also I am curious how the community is organized: call it "professional" curiosity.

[fresh quiver]

thats absolutely fine.

Wiki is good for only confirmed clues. @gloomy anvil keeps that bit clean 🙂

bless u

[hard current]

these are mostly my own thoughts and ideas behind the structure of things

there’s a core group that has been here since near the very start, and many who are also diehards that joined later, some folks come and go, some folks stay only for a short while, but the core group generally remains

Rob (@embark_rob) is the head honcho and will guide us as needed, he created this hunt and its connections

the mods and cm’s are very nice and will also assist us as needed with pins, and keeping things clean

(@rockhoundblack) is kind of the de facto video historian on the finals and posts on youtube, his videos can be excellent sources for new hunters

[rugged breach]

As for the channels
#easter-eggs for general ee talk and chatting to newcommers
#1201288968562552863 for general talk
[thingname] threads for each #official-art that has hints, same for trailers, maps, etc
[EEname] threads for each ee being investigated

[cold heart]

(wrong off-topic) ❤️

#1201288968562552863 👈 this one is the EE OT

we like making a lot of threads ahha

[rugged breach]

There's also misc utility threads like
#1217498821563514951 - LFG
#1236059248820093010 - Memes
#1332758896594387066 - Only confirmed connection/new official updates
#1226677330689261631 - Password dump
#1204475718747029535 - Only potential strong clues that could get eyes

[fading vigil]

Guys, remember Rob’s photo with periodic table?

[hard current]

idk if hotelmama can even see those cause of levels

[runic umbra]

my two hours introduction to madness was a call with samras, rock, ludo and others. currently diving into rocks videos.

[fresh quiver]

yes

[hard current]

yeah it was for level 1 right? though if I recall rob said that image held stuff for the future too

[runic umbra]

nope. only onboarding and this channel in teh ee section

[rugged breach]

Ah, thought you could still see threads just not type in them

[runic umbra]

i am a plebeian

[eternal violet]

nah you can see threads without level requirement, just cant post, unless somethings changed

[fading vigil]

Yeah! There was CNS wrote over periodic table and only first letters of “Periodic Table of Elements” was pointed
My thought to find antonyms for the words like
Periodic - Constant
Table - Null
Elements - ?
And get CNS abbreviation

[runic umbra]

ahjea there are somes. scuse, i rarely use threads tbh

[hard current]

rob once eyed a message that said “CNS = PTE” hence the PTE in my name so we don’t forget

[runic umbra]

one of the clues on that level 3 pic is pointing to elements..

Ca Be BFMoP: Calcium, Beryllium, Boron Fluor, Molybdenum, Phosporus..

[hard current]

I think that one was undecided because we might have the numbers wrong? I can't recall though

[gloomy anvil]

Everything on the Wiki is presented in chronological order, so if you ever need a solid, foundational understanding of the timeline and definite clues we've received so far (without the additional theories we've come up with), I recommend https://thefinals.wiki/wiki/Level_3_-_The_Hunt

[runic umbra]

video first, then read up. its the plan.

[supple abyss]

who's keeping the wiki up to date?

[gloomy anvil]

[hard current]

I think @gloomy anvil ?

[supple abyss]

ah, i was just curious

[cold heart]

its a community effort, but @gloomy anvil carries the EE department (THE GOAT)

[supple abyss]

it's a lot of work

[hard current]

also something to note @runic umbra @supple abyss if either of you are wizards with photoshop, let us know, we do and have missed clues in the past because not many of us are experienced with it

[supple abyss]

i am a wizard with gimp :P

[hard current]

that works!!

[supple abyss]

i can help out with some things, give me a couple of minutes

[runic umbra]

i can do MS paint.

usualy i shout at flex4d to get things done quick and neat

[hard current]

I do think 2 of the hardest clues we have right now are the face in PowerisPowerisPoweris and the painting/art in powe_is_powe... I would rather have numbers or something to work off of, trying to find the origin of those is incredibly hard lol

[crisp eagle]

dude. I missed that and always wondered what PTE was in your name haha such a great idea

[runic umbra]

Some background about me:
I have 8 years of experience in leading and organizing EE hunting (BFEE admin + twitter account). My strengths are rather in broad knowledge than expertise. I can lead people, also bcs of my RL background (teacher). I like weird stuff and solving puzzles. Hence the EE thingy. Else I am your average nerd, and I usually throw a lot of ideas at people and see what sticks.

[runic umbra]

I am leaning towards the face possibly being decartes. could make sense in terms of cartesian coordinates.

[crisp eagle]

permission to as you questions about GIMP randomly?
I've been wanting to slowly learn it in my off time for the sake of the Hunt

[supple abyss]

go wild, i'll answer all questions as best as i can :D

[hard current]

we've thought the same, but couldn't find a good fit, if you do... let us know!!

[fresh quiver]

I havent found any image of descartes yet which has this hairlines yet

[hard current]

I've been investigating if perhaps that face is one of many in an image/artwork, like a group photo

[dull marsh]

We need to get Rob to notice you, he'll probably recognize you hehe

[fresh quiver]

rob the shotcaller in the back all along xD

[runic umbra]

how sure are you about thats part of the image, not part of noise?

[crisp eagle]

I keep looking at images with that same idea. Sam and I went through a bunch of Jan Matejko's stuff because the art style seemed to fit, but no dice

[dull marsh]

In terms of haircuts for now the closest style I've been able to match is Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood paintings, but no match thus far with the head position & lighting

[runic umbra]

lmao, there is a chance, but I wouldnt bet on it. also I rather have the guy reacting with googly eyes to something I post, that would be the kind of appreciation which is solid currency in here..

[crisp eagle]

"The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB), later known as the Pre-Raphaelites, was a group of English painters, poets, and art critics, founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt"
why do you do this to me all the time? new obsession

[hard current]

I've been looking at famous group photos like the one with einstein and such, no dice so far

we have been hinted to geographers so I've been looking at famous geographers as well

[supple abyss]

alright, i'm free now, what's something i can help with?

[hard current]

honestly right now there's not too much I don't think but...

[fresh quiver]

trying to extract the portrait better maybe?

[hard current]

in this image, there are letters hidden

we haven't come to a good consensus on what they actually are... if you have the ability to bring them out more clearly, we'd be indebted 😉

[hasty anvil]

I've had a realisation:
'I Want To'
'I we who two three'

[crisp eagle]

I still think there's something there in the bottom one that says "potentially another letter"

[hasty anvil]

I want to and I we who sound similar

[crisp eagle]

I want two...

[hasty anvil]

'I we who two three' sounds like 'I want to break free'

it points us to the song?

[hard current]

could be, though in the past we connected it to "I want to Believe"

[supple abyss]

🫡

[hasty anvil]

Definitely, but it could have a second meaning

just trying to connect clues and they sound similar

so i think the meanings connected

[hard current]

there was a lot that I feel went unsolved here https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1265367410257428731

maybe it was all just pointing at

sliescetaceaasconce

but

[hasty anvil]

Nah theres definitely level 3 stuff in there too

[eternal violet]

everything in that image points to 3 and 19

[hard current]

yeah but why 3?

if rob was hinting at the length of the password, all he would've needed was 19

[eternal violet]

because slies + cetacea + asconce

3 words, 19 letters

[hard current]

hm I guess that makes sense

is that what rule of 3rd was then too you guess?

[eternal violet]

thats one thing i think goes beyond the activation password

[hasty anvil]

but earths aphelion too?

[hard current]

that was L3 aim

L3 AIM has a few things that don't work simply for finding the 3HMs

aphelion of earth and apollo x or loxolap

there were things in there that didn't point to the locations of the 3HM or the password length, hence why I'm trying to bring them into our current images too 🙂

no idea

[dull marsh]

Keep in mind almost everything in Level 3 Activation IS Level 3

Black Knight is still relevant even tho it was the very first clue

[hard current]

that's why rule of 3rds works with what we have now

we keep getting 123

[eternal violet]

l3aim looks to me like rob thought be would be done with activation and was already making an image for l3, but we were stuck at finding 3hms so he just slapped that obvious coordinates in binary just for us to be done with it

[hard current]

I think I can agree with that

because afaik there is 0 connection between the locations of the 3HM, and the other two clues found in there

[eternal violet]

there are more than 2 clues found there, i think theres more in pins

[hard current]

yep I just added it to miro

[alpine junco]

MW.A #1 = 1 = i = black knight

[crisp eagle]

how did we get i being black knight again?

[hard current]

there's a small i that shows up in the image on the right

though if I recall, that was never 100% agreed upon because some could see it on their computers and others couldn't? I could be wrong

[crisp eagle]

oh wait I see it now haha

I didn't notice it in that pic.

[runic umbra]

black knight like that infamous "alien satellite" urban myth?

[crisp eagle]

sort of

[fresh quiver]

yes. thats how it kind of started

[hard current]

yes, only Rob specifically directed us to ignore the conspiracy theory part of it

[crisp eagle]

Rob said not to focus on the conspiracy theory of it

[runic umbra]

yea i mean orbits, satellites, geostationary, all kinds ofr nice words if you speak of low grade hinting

[crisp eagle]

I think we assume it points to STS-88 again. because that's when the space debris was photographed

[hard current]

@crisp eagle don't forget zarya sisters (STS 88 module iirc) - 3 dawns

[runic umbra]

I am just noticing some strong recurring themes. sats/space is one.

[crisp eagle]

That one I think I missed and don't fully understand yet haha

[hard current]

space has been present for a long time in the hunt, astronomers, stars, etc

[hard current]

I thinkkkk it's on the miro as sticky notes

[crisp eagle]

So much has happened to quickly right when I get put on 60 hour weeks

[crisp eagle]

ok I'm going to be diving a bit into it the next three days. I took some vaction days to get my mental bearings straight (work related)

[alpine junco]

it feels like 3N1D is a tier below diamond clue

[hard current]

ever since cns it's been present so could be a diamond clue of sorts

[crisp eagle]

oh ok so Zarya is what Unity was being connected to. got it. That's the part I missed haha

[alpine junco]

anyone have the link to the miro board?

[crisp eagle]

https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVK0idxbU=/?moveToWidget=3458764596714583146&cot=14

[hasty anvil]

So casino named after Zarya right? the other ones will be named after something too

[crisp eagle]

#1332648610311049287 message
I don't think I ever noticed Rob saying "3 Nights 1 Dawn" here
I always thought we were told 1 Night 3 Dawns

[hasty anvil]

Also remember the casino colours that got eyed as well

[dull marsh]

Not confirmed, kinda strong connection tho imo

[hasty anvil]

if 3 dawns is Zaraby then 1 night i'm sure is at least 1 of the other ones

[fading vigil]

Metonic systems - Metonic cycle - 19 years
You was talking about 19

[hasty anvil]

Ah metonic systems

yeah that was a 19 clue

1 casino is night, 3 are the zarya sisters

And Glamora got the eyes of being night

[alpine junco]

#easter-eggs message

[fading vigil]

As one who knows Russian and ukrainian - Zorya is not only dawn
It’s a light effect on the sky in time of sunrise or sunset not only dawn

[dull marsh]

Yeah fish brought that up recently, and Rob confirmed that it was indeed 1 connection

[hasty anvil]

#1332648610311049287 message

[hasty anvil]

Roman: Aurora?

[gloomy anvil]

The term aurora borealis was coined by Galileo, stemming from the Roman Goddess of dawn Aurora, and Greek God of the cold north wind Boreas. If you substitute "o" with null (no character) you get aurra, which has double R.

cold north wind could relate to northwest passage and the arctic

it starts with "au" and ends with "ra" but those could be coincidences

[runic umbra]

I have something maybe worth digging into. If you want to have something overarching the AIW and Black Knight thingy, you kinda land at chess. having chess in mind could open ways of thinking.

i've been so focused on finding letters in an image that i completely forgot about the spaghetti cooking in the kitchen

[boreal delta]

Hey I don't know if this is just a coincidence or if this could mean something. I also don't know if this has been brought up before, I am not regularly on Discord

[supple abyss]

how'd this happen?

[crisp eagle]

that looks player-made in the match

[rugged breach]

Not sure how they pulled it off but it does look like two broken roof pieces holding eachother up

Not sure, I just saw it like that and it looked to natural for destruction

@pure loom those videos are good. Crazy journey!

[dusk siren]

Remind me why "null" is an antonym for "table"... Just glancing at "periodic -> constant" and "null," though, I definitely thought of data types and type qualifiers... basically, programming languages... I'm not a programmer, though, so that fact that your post made "const null str" pop into my head means nothing.

[fading vigil]

Yes, I was thinking about it like that, also we had some clues about nulls

[pure loom]

Thanks! Yeah, it’s been quite a journey. I hope you found them useful!

[hard current]

@runic umbra orang

[dusk siren]

that's hilarious... 😅 I'm sure you guys looked through all the possible carbon-nitrogen-sulfur possibilities back in the day, but the following description did strike me as interesting. Have there been any clues or idea since that would benefit from considering this concept relating to cycles?

[runic umbra]

any of those 19 years long?

[hard current]

we know CNS is also related to central nervous system, eyed by Rob as well

hmmmm… no cycles I can think of

unless you talk about the space night/day cycle with 3 dawns

[runic umbra]

lmao your brain telling you something..

[hard current]

@supple abyss did some digging!

the only thing I can think of relevant to the potential / is that it’s for a webpage

this isn’t the first time rob hid a / clue as pointing to a webpage

[dusk siren]

I decided against posting this, at first, but if CNS happened to partly be in reference to human intelligence and hence human biology (meatspace, etc.), perhaps relevant.

[hard current]

in this case, could be www.reachthefinals.com/(scrambled letters)

[dusk siren]

CHNOPS just reminds me of so many of those kinds of strings we've stumbled on

this is great, def something to keep in mind for down the road

[dusk siren]

Forwarding this here, because I'm vaguely recalling that maybe the roses hint was a multi-map hint? (pls correct me if wrong)

The idea of benches or seating more generally being the connection might help. Seems like something that could potentially be triggered on several maps.

[white heron]

Think that these letter are not like a game of scrabble but more of a certain code for us to figure out a sentence

I am not sure if I found the hex game part and how it linked to a “road”

I may of but hey that’s cool though and it helps the ee team

[dusk siren]

I'm going to work on those letters (is the implication that we've been rotating them relative to the original image, e.g., in the Miro?)
but... I have a question re: the practice range roses:

• Is it confirmed or, at least, strongly suspect and hinted at that it is a multi-player EE?

• Kind of like SYS$HORIZON, but across multiple practice ranges?

I ask because I went to check out the seating options in the practice range and there are too many for the 5 roses, but maybe if people placed roses on seats across multiple practice ranges, then they could all be covered. Honestly, I think it's the best idea I've personally come up with for triggering that EE so far, but that's probably not saying much.

[supple abyss]

that would be quite impressive from a technical standpoint

[dusk siren]

I'll put further ideas back in the Practice Range Roses thread

[dusk siren]

I think the "H" that has always looked to me like "//" is also very interesting and potentially connected to a web address or else file directories and the like

Internet domains?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains

[supple abyss]

// is the separator between the scheme and the authority according to this rfc https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-3

[dusk siren]

I thought, maybe like the single slash, just a clue for what to consider (e.g., the // in "https://")

I'm not sure what to make of it, but only because the Operator/Registry has such a cool name I'm posting it.

This was the first domain I actually found that even included an "OG"... fwiw

Unfortunately, the domains are not all listed on that one wikipedia page. Things like country codes are so important they it seems like they get their own wikipedia article.

Only domain I found at the wikipedia article I did link to containing "HC" was this one. Anyway, don't know if people are interesting to pursuing this angle further.

[dusk siren]

This is cool, though, and the kind of thing I've noticed other people on here unearthing. A bit more technical = perhaps more Rob's speed?

[dusk siren]

Interesting... so "OG" could be the scheme?

[supple abyss]

maybe! or the letters could be backwards, and everything after // could be the scheme

[dusk siren]

A search for "OG" AND "RFC" does NOT come up empty... fwiw

[supple abyss]

i'm guessing the letters are scrambled somehow

or encrypted

[dusk siren]

There's a "COM" perhaps as in ".com"... and "CNS"... 🙂

[hard current]

@runic umbra are you on the miro board right now by chance?

[runic umbra]

robs given us so many clues and I still can't make heads or tails or hex out of it

[dusk siren]

Last thought I'll post on those letters and put the rest in the DISSUN image thread. It seems absurdly convoluted, but since it leads to a reference to an interesting code, figured I should post:

• Caesar shift by 20: OGCNYSNMUUNRF (/;//) -----> UMITEYTSAATXL (/;//)
• Anagram: UMITEYTSAATXL (/;//) -------> "SIMULATE TTY... AX (/;//)"
  Anyway, "TTY" pertains to lots of interesting codes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TTY

[supple abyss]

TTY usually means pseudoterminal in linux terms

[dusk siren]

Interesting... it alludes to Unix, but I wouldn't have know what that would be

Like I said... absurdly convoluted path to get there, but also did not seem like nonsense. Perhaps a magical coincidence only

[supple abyss]

yeah, there's a high chance this is just a coincidence

[dusk siren]

I think I'll stop while I'm behind. 🙂 Plus, I feel like you're gonna crack this one.

[timid solstice]

Has this been brought up ?

the blobstar could be a St. Johns Wort ?

St. John’s Wort is named for John the Baptist: the Feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist occurs on June 24, and it is now, in mid/late June that Hypericum perforatum is in full bloom.

John the Baptist's feast day is June 24, and the anniversary of his death is August 29 and is sometimes celebrated with a second feast.

Reading from bottom to top (per your suggestion):

• Programming languages: F, R, Nu, UM(L), N, SYN, C, Go
  wdyt? "unified modeling (language)" is not great, and several of these are obscure, but... ???

[supple abyss]

maybe! "UM(L)" is unlikely though i feel

[dusk siren]

agreed

the likeliest (maybe only?) way to rationalize that is that the list would be conceived of in this way... F (Language), R (Language), ..., Unified Modeling (Language)... , but, yeah, not very elegant

[crisp eagle]

Did some searching for Null and Route.

“A null route or black hole route is a network route (routing table entry) that goes nowhere. Matching packets are dropped (ignored) rather than forwarded, acting as a kind of very limited firewall.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_(networking)

I’m not very knowledgeable in the ol’ computer sciences, but this seemed interesting and had some interesting terms that seemed possibly hunt-worthy.

[hard current]

essentially data gets sent to it and never goes anywhere else, and there’s no way to tell if that’s actually occurring unless you’re purposefully looking for it

it’s cool, but, there’s not really anything pointing to it outside of null

can we summon rob:/

I know he’s sleeping rn though…

he’s given us so much but tbh… I don’t feel any closer to 1 password let alone 9

But now we also have RR to go off of, Radio Regulations created by the international Telecommunication Union (ITU), which is sepperated into 3 regions

[rugged breach]

Looking at the ITU RR radiocommunication services, there are ones that follow a 1X2 pattern, with some satellite related ones among them, namely

• 1.22 Inter-satellite service (ISS)
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-satellite_service

• 1.32 Aeronautical mobile service (AMS)
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautical_mobile_service

• 1.42 Radionavigation service (RNS)
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_navigation#International_regulation

• 1.52 Metorological satellite service (No code)
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_satellite

On top of that, while I haven't found, or at least been able to replicate, an exact match, Joseph Henry comes really close to our mystery man

He played a role in the development of electromagnetism, and hence the radio
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Henry

[dusk siren]

This is gold... Also, pretty sure I came across "Radio Relay" because I was considering whether those landmass areas could also be wireless communications frequencies... (you can search for GHz and probably find it, if you're interested)

Another RR anyway... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_relay

[dusk siren]

Any theories yet on how the "xy" might fit into your scheme?

Simply coordates for radio transmitters and/or receivers?

[rugged breach]

Outside of them being variables so the X in XY is the same x as in 1X2, not really, tried some stuff already

[rugged breach]

Worst part is when the page lags a bit, making you think it's loading 😞

[dusk siren]

I forwarded that old post because I was pretty sure I deciphered the TOP SECRET BURN AFTER READING/"Hot Gossip" sticker puzzle and got BEACON... Couldn't think of any real "beacon" connection at the time. But going through your wiki links a couple mentions stood out to me.

[dusk siren]

Maybe see if any of the STS-41 missions correspond to RR 1.42 communications services or if any of the STS-51 missions correspond to RR 1.52 communications services? (The idea being, as you suggest, that the X might function as a variable and recur in "XYRR1X2")

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

STS-41-B and STS-41-D were the two STS-41 missions that launched communications satellites it appears (they have wikipedia pages)
Since 1.42 is for radionavigation satellite service, I don't know if these qualify

STS-51-A notable for both deploying and retreiving comsats. STS-51-D, STS-51-G, and STS-51-I also deployed comsats. STS-51-J included a Defense Satellite Communications System satellite deployment.
Since 1.52 is for meteorological satellite service, I don't know if these qualify.

[dusk siren]

This map is very cool. Apparently each region is divided into zones. I haven't tracked them all down but it seems like radio hobbyist resources might have a lot of additional information. As an example: https://wrtc2014.org/resources/itu-zones-for-us-states/

I'm too tired to look for the latest official source for the zones, but that would be best, ofc 🙂

[rugged breach]

Yeah there's a lot to dig into... may have abandoned the initial search a bit too quick

[dusk siren]

Great find, though, imho. 🙂

Many have speculated on slies = **isles **as an anagram

Going through Chapter X in AIW one more time, I thought it might be worth posting this:

"The further off from England the nearer is to France—" would technically be an oblique reference to the British Isles...

[runic umbra]

since a lot of stuff could be far fetched.. slies sounds like slice. slice of cake.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The idea of England/British Isles <----> France certainly is relevant to William the Conqueror, for instance.

@shadow shore @crisp eagle and I have made a bit of a discovery on SYS$HORIZON - potentially an interactable EE that allows us to spell out words: #1315046366417915994 message

[dusk siren]

Seems like no mention of Marco Polo yet following the Silk Road discovery, so posting as something someone might want to look at. Along with that, an unlikely but potential "MW" sighting in that the famous account of Marco Polo's adventures has at times been referred to by the title " Book of the Marvels of the World" ("Marvels of the World".Area-1 through 3?)

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

Once upon a time, Atsuhiro was listing some mental associations and noted that Marco Polo is also the name of a game of a sort that may have parallels to a treasure hunt or EE hunt.

I'm reading through Level 2 Tier 1D and have some questions for anyone that was here for those tiers.

On the Miro Board it shows this (VM.57), but on the Wiki it says this is VM.67 with a different meaning for it. Which is it supposed to be? Are both VM.57 and VM.67 part of it and I'm just missing it?

[hard forge]

probably a typo wiki

[timid solstice]

there were many discussions if it was a 5 or a 6

[haughty juniper]

Yo anyone got that image showing 4 contestants with different numbers on them to symbolize the season? Like there was a samurai one with the number 3 as one of them

[crisp eagle]

yea both descriptions make sense, whether its 57 or 67 haha

[timid solstice]

Mask text: VM.57or VM.67 = Van Morrison 1957 The Sputniks / 1967 “Blowin' Your Mind!"

[snow walrus]

both works haha

[crisp eagle]

yea and I think it was found on Brown Eyed Girl, right? and 67 was the year it came out

[timid solstice]

Yeah, but at the time we had space clues I think, so the earlier band made sense too

[crisp eagle]

Also, did anyone ever figure out the "real meaning" of VM like Rob mentioned?

Did anyone have a theory on what this might be, if it's anything?

I'm just thinking about whether there are at least one or two additional details, which some of us might have missed, that could help direct and narrow the search.

[dusk siren]

I thought there might be small "+" signs between the numbers, or at least some kind of symbol or symbols.

[hard current]

yes that's what I'm trying to bring out now but super hard with jpg

[dusk siren]

I also wondered if the slashes "/" might be separators (e.g., in a date)

So, perhaps the 1/2 is intended to mislead

The 5/2 likewise

[hard current]

could be, a lot of diff ways to interpret and they all need to be tried until the meaning is discovered 🙂

wonder if it's possibly part of a wreath

what's it called

laurel wreath

outside of that... no idea :/

[errant imp]

He thicc

[hard current]

it might be like the old wr’s

[hard current]

enough to spell something

[dull marsh]

I think he they did this version this time

[cold heart]

it was mentioned some time in S4... unless it was added later
so i'm assuming Fortune, and cos yanno, Fortune is a Seoul remix.. but we dont know

[alpine junco]

The rabbits ate Midas’ fantail birds

[hard current]

but that could be any number of props then right?

white rabbit

[cold heart]

White Rabbit

[errant imp]

@/Rob if you are still here, you owe me a Valentines card with Oscar on it (from anniversary stream you made that promise)

[hard current]

then does this mean a new thread for a new WR hunt?

potentially needing props to view

[errant imp]

We can continue in the old one?

[hard current]

true probably best

[alpine junco]

Fat Rabbits

[errant imp]

LMAO

[hard current]

[dull marsh]

[hard current]

@tired aspen can you delete the Fat Rabbits thread pleaseeeee

[alpine junco]

[hard current]

[dull marsh]

like actually trolling, ngl we ALREADY have SO FUCKING MANY threads, it's just pollution at this point

[hard current]

OH it’s probably on Bernal!!

[alpine junco]

Made it as a joke, im aware of the wr thread

Hehehe

[errant imp]

Why is that

[hard forge]

alright back to the topic

[tired aspen]

[hard current]

new map 😉

shiny and new

well… actually I can’t say that

It just seems like the most logical starting point

[errant imp]

For some reason my skyway stadium feelings tingle

[hard current]

OH RIGHT

[crisp eagle]

3 o’s

[runic umbra]

I cant send pics yet. but the fat rabbit reminds me of that „is it a duck or a rabbit“ thing.
also, I now see how Rob is confusing you. 🤣🤣

[hard current]

the skyway stadium in S5 KeyArt!

[errant imp]

I can hop on in 5 if anyone wants to go hunt:)

[hard current]

I’m on

[errant imp]

Omw

[crisp eagle]

Are we thinking Bernal then, instead of Fortune?

[errant imp]

we gonna search skyway now

[crisp eagle]

Ok nice! I’ll keep an eye out for any updates. I can maybe do some looking way later today. 🫡 God speed

[cold heart]

this is when he talked about it in stream btw

not sure if he ever said anything else about it?

could someone confirm please ❤️

[late bison]

when you stream, you've already gained 1,000 followers)

[hard current]

I was thinking orange barrels because… orange like carrot lol

[sharp flame]

@crisp eagle @hard current can't be Bernal, the WRs were added pre-S5

[hard current]

I’m thinking maybe sys

[sharp flame]

nah, Dolphins alr there!!

I'm thinking Kyoto or Fortune. Has to be those 2

[hard current]

which one had fantails again

fortune?

[crisp eagle]

Oh yea duh haha I missed that. Thank you

Those forwarded messages where Rob was talking about feeding the rabbits, was that referring to the Easter event we had? Where you’d see rabbits running around randomly.

[sharp flame]

and Kyoto

so ruling neither of those out

[pure loom]

A possible related path: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douady_rabbit

[pure loom]

I just realised this could be another clue towards three parts, or thirds for the main password.

[snow walrus]

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

[pure loom]

maybe a partial boot print? Can you pin point the location you saw this? Here's the map if you need to draw on it.

[errant imp]

wait I am big dumb, ist this from 2 years ago? so no relevance to the new WR i guess?

[pure loom]

Oh! Haha

[sharp flame]

rob saying "I want to talk about this..."

is that a reference to something?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ava_Gardner This is a stretch but...

"Gardner" --> flowers?

[dull marsh]

That was for the initial WR tho, I don't see a reason why this would particularly apply for Big Rabbits

[graceful axle]

Is anyone else hearing the fans shout something that sounds like Maria?

[opal pond]

Rob playing as a LIGHT??!!!

[crisp eagle]

He might have said it to be funny. Dev was talking about getting a giant VC going to talk about things. Then Rob chimed in

[hard current]

ah I see I thought the context was the new ones but you are correct:)

[dusk siren]

I like this... gonna look into it. For fun, though, anybody think the rabbit's tail looks a bit like a squished 4-leaf clover? We could have Valentines Day, Easter Day, and St. Patrick's Day in one... just sayin' 🙂

[pure loom]

If so, this is potentially a reference to Simon and Garfunkel and therefore Central Park and the Sound of Silence - you could also consider silence as an empty set - and… “silence” could be a three part combo of SLIES CETACEA and ASCONCE 🦖

[dusk siren]

🤔 I can't recall precisely, but does the "I want to..." part match the filename of the Nama Tama Black Knight in Space image?

Did you guys ever get another layer down using "I want to..." as a clue?

[dusk siren]

that's wild... (as in very interesting)

[pure loom]

Just to explain where I get that from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Concert_in_Central_Park

[snow walrus]

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

High Noon -> S1 event
I Believe -> Elvis Presley
That Lucky Old Sun -> Frank Sinatra

[sharp flame]

yes

X-Files, I Want to Believe released in Cinemas on the same day as the Batman Dark Knight film

Dark Knight ==> Black Knight

[mossy wedge]

So should i spam it everywhere on SysHor so it will open the secret room?

Actually, this emote is from the first Valentine's Day event, and the next one might be coming very soon as well

So, this is most likely related to the next Valentine's Day event with some Easter eggs

[snow walrus]

"space - radio - X" triangle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Minus_One

and with that, im headin off for today

[dusk siren]

Love this call... If this wasn't associated with a special event, I'd say "MWAH" is reminiscent of "MW.Area..." Also, RHB happened to post what seems to be a random coincidence recently...

In the pronunciation, of all things...

[dusk siren]

Probably nothing, but interesting connection between "moiré" and "silk" if it hasn't been noted yet.
