[unborn pilot]

that's what i got. the 6 & 9 are interchangable.

im curious why some pieces are missing.

well 22 like the disk is the only full one

[alpine junco]

i was thinking the other pieces are hidden

[royal geyser]

Thats annoying me

Only the 2s are full

It cant be a coincidence

[uncut basalt]

Maybe the numbers will be ordered by how much they are filled up
Like 7,6/9,8,3,2,2

[timid solstice]

can we not clog this chat with specific artwork clues now if people can post in the thread

[alpine junco]

not eveyone can post there, especially the new members

[timid solstice]

grr

[royal geyser]

I just now unlocked it

But yeah its a bit silly that new people cant talk in the threads

Images i get that could be abused, but threads?

[uncut basalt]

I think ppl can see em you just need to specifically go look for the thread or something
Either that or the perms aren't set up properly

[uncut basalt]

On that note can someone link me the relevant thread for this if there is one? Discord mobile sucks aagh

I'm just catching up to today's wild turn of events (thx to all who have contributed the usual amazing forensic work! ).
Anyway, my first reaction to the markings on the image of the valentine's card charm (and motivated by one of my fixations):

• It's a "minus" and "plus" and the "minus" sign inside the arc represents a "minus" sign inside of a larger circle
• It relates to the polarity of the Earth and changes in the polarity (usually on a geologic time scale)

[tranquil minnow]

What if that 7 is part of the 4 though?

[dusk siren]

I there a measurable difference in the angle between the two characters?

[tranquil minnow]

Well I mean if someone is willing to put in the time I'm sure we can find out xD

@alpine junco what you think?

[alpine junco]

like this?

[dusk siren]

A cheesy simpleton theory... if you had {2,3,4,6,8}:

• 2*3 = 6
• 2*4 = 8
  We know we have "hex" as a clue (6), and there are some possibilities for why we might get "oct" as a clue (8)... (e.g., my longshot "spider web" theory in the Iseult image - and people can probably think of even better candidates for pointing to 8).

[tranquil minnow]

Yep! Try to match it up like r.cade did to make sure

Like this #easter-eggs message

[tranquil minnow]

I definitly think it could be a 4

Wouldn't put all my Nama Tama's in one basket that it's a 7

[royal geyser]

i checked

[fading vigil]

We need a video of event heart blinking?

[rugged breach]

Would be neat to have just in case

[royal geyser]

braile?

[fading vigil]

Idk, but looks like it symmetrical

[unborn pilot]

They’re not the same angle

[dusk siren]

I'm sure someone did, but there are some weird circles in the waveform. Along with the gaps that look like dashes, maybe just a relatively straightforward Morse code?

I say 'relatively straightforward' and yet there are definitely some ambiguous components that don't help...

[crisp eagle]

random thought. 1,2,3 in Roman Numerals would just be I, II, III. 6 I's

[worn rivet]

Rob said hello, another 3

[crisp eagle]

I doubt this is anything, but just in case. I wonder if a theme could be like "starting point/beginning." It's super broad, I know. But some people will call early school lessons "learning your 1 2 3's and A B C's."

I don't know. I'm desperate to understand this constant 123ABC stuff

Maybe it's just pointing to needing the combination of 3 things like we needed on the Level 3 activation page. That page still puzzles me though too because we had the rabbit icon called 1.0.0, the dolphin icon called 2.0.0, and then the monkey icon called 2.4.0

Why not 1.0.0, 2.0.0, and 3.0.0

[worn rivet]

Is it ok to post this?

Should be right?

[crisp eagle]

I'll let someone else answer that, but I think it's called a waveform

[worn rivet]

I looked up what Marshall&co called it, i can change it tho

@crisp eagle

[crisp eagle]

oh ok yea I honestly don't know haha just saw someone earlier correcting people when they said "wavelength."

[worn rivet]

We'll see

I wanna go to bed lol

I want to say this could relate to "Four Out of Five" by Arctic Monkeys, the video for which uses sound pulses based on PSR B1919+21 (the Jocelyn Bell Burnell pulsar). But not sure.

It would make more sense as "Five Out of Four"

[alpine junco]

[hard current]

it seems skyway stadium keeps showing up

[hasty anvil]

Must be red moon related

[hard current]

I think it's related to the rugs

those are in that pov image and rob has highlighted them before

#1332916596821327873

[dusk siren]

Since people are focusing on Skyway in the new "From embark with Love" thread, thought I'd post a quick "Aegean" observation after the eyes on "Aegean Sea."
From the "Aegean Sea" wikipedia article:

Rhodes has come up before and I came across it in connection with the color "Red."

Posting because we've since had the clue "Silk Road"

Didn't know if this wasn't a further indication to focus on "Roads"

[hard current]

this was eyed by rob

assuming we've found the position they're likely in (they're looking left) then they may be looking here

which translates to "Dragon Constellation Studio"

[dusk siren]

Nice... thx!

Draco constellation....

Many have mentioned it, I'm sure, and I mentioned it pretty recently in connection to IAU designated constellations...

Draco Star bundle and description

All in a thread search I'm sure

Draco is right near Cygnus and Lyra, which I've had my eye on (guaranteeing they are nothing 🥹 )

Vega is the brightest star in Lyra, which was how I got there initially

Draco's origin attributed to Ptolemy. Brightest star is Eltanin.

"Latin En" is an anagram of Eltanin. This feels like an inside joke even if it's not.

[rugged breach]

We're totalling 3 hearts on the whiteboards in the building the skyway eye hint's in ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[hard current]

cassini maps, used triangulation to map france... very similar to the patterns on these rugs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaunay_triangulation
or maybe this?

[dusk siren]

Something like this is probably going to be right, but it's going to annoy me a bit when it is, because I can't help but see triangles overlapping in the pattern in the rug, not tiling like all these examples seem to be.

Maybe I'm crazy or maybe you can see what I mean, at least. Like some of the triangles get cut off prematurely.

[hard current]

it looks just like delaunay triangulation...

this dropping
2 days before (basically on valentines)

[dusk siren]

Sorry to put these all in one place, but I just did an Internet search for "spider web" and "Voronoi diagram" and this absolutely bonkers article came up near the top. Talked about "cosmic webs," among other things. Seems to suggest a connection between things like so-called "spiderwebs", "cosmic webs", and "Voronoi diagrams" (not to mention, actual spiders' webs). https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.171582

Just a taste for the kind of stuff in that article. Thought these forwarded posts and the potential connection were just this side of "Rabbit Hole" territory so posting it! ty for understanding.

[river quail]

could this reflection somehow hint about the direction of something? (north, south etc etc)

[royal geyser]

love hurts more like love hearts

[river quail]

yes

[heavy plover]

we also did ealier today and didnt find much

Well if they just comment the sentence and used ai, not like we can un-remember it

Guys I just have to say that I really admire the level of dedication and big brain puzzle solving by everyone here. And of course massive props to Rob and others for the level of the puzzles and easter eggs in the game. I have never seen such thing before in terms of easter egg hunting in a game. It's really cool to follow. Keep pumping ❤️

[quasi stirrup]

Hey, im not sure how related it could be but recently i saw that theres a phones number and the extension number was 4444. im not sure if this is helpful ideation or thinking outside of the box but just a piece of information i found. ps i meant to reply to the message under it.

I tried that but sadly nothing :(

[storm horizon]

same 😦

is rose still unsolved?

[opal kernel]

yup still unsolved

[shy oracle]

Anyone else here in the Los Angeles area? Since I'm looking at the SYS$Horizon page and says it's based off of a real location.. the only instance i can really determine that it's based off of is the Huntington Library

it's mainly a art museum. it's also got a little japanese garden section (like the japanese garden in the campus area), library, huge multiple art galleries

The Getty is also a huge art gallery with a connected library..

[fallen jasper]

Does it have those similar walkways over the street?

[shy oracle]

it's got long walkways between the buildings. not as tall, modern, or complex as what you see in the map

[fallen jasper]

I always assumed it was based off a more urban area since the bulidings are so close

Kinda hard to tell with it being all solid colors and pixilated XD

[shy oracle]

after narrowing my options i think sys$horizon is based in a couple of countries:
Singapore
Japan
Norway
England
South Korea

many art museums don't explicitly state if they have a metal sphere architecture but i've managed to find some on a whim by simple scouting. i don't think the area is as close to the water as sys$horizon makes it out to be but it's most likely a costal region

[swift mulch]

I thought of a refference to The Bean in Chicago, but it's not a mountainous area. Vancouver has mountains, oceans and is a modern city. Science World in downtown Vancouver is a somewhat metallic ball next to the water.

There's also Olafur Eliasson's silver orbs in San Francisco at the waterfront.

And Singapore has Mirror balls sculpture and an artScience museum across the river.

[dusk siren]

@pure loom If you don't mind a reminder, you had in one of your videos that one of the Apples in SYS likely represented NYC and the other quite possibly representing Palo Alto, Cupertino, San Fran, Bay Area. Does the patch notes refer to either one of those specifically? (Or there even more apples than I realized?!)

[dusk siren]

I just searched for "Eliasson" in old posts and yours was the first.

The reason I did is that there are lots of interesting old posts with ideas about SYS. For instance, search Smimthsonian, I think

But the San Fran thing was interesting.

Why I tried to ping RHB (sry, RHB!)

For instance, San Fran is near the San Andreas fault

If the apple being destroying in the patch notes referred to San Fran, then destruction might refer indirectly to the destruction of an earthquake. Tenuous, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Also going to look into this Eliasson thing. Thx!

[swift mulch]

My last guess would be Bilbao, Spain. Anish Kapoor is known for creating large reflective sculptures (like the bean). The Guggenheim museum has exhibited quite some work. It's also has mountains in the back and waterfront.

[dusk siren]

As long as we're back to SYS speculations, I originally placed the dolphins off the coast of SYS in San Diego (maybe not the first), but now that I think of it, the more parsimonious theory would be just to have the dolphins off the coast of SYS also connect to San Fran. Might be something I'll have to try to do a little work on. Thx, again!

[swift mulch]

Ugh the dolphins, I already forgot about that 😅

[dusk siren]

For those interested, this Eliasson guy seems legit. Totally something I could see in this hunt (not that I could tell you how, exactly).
https://www.dezeen.com/2019/07/10/olafur-eliasson-in-real-life-tate-modern-exhibition/

Here's something on the SF spheres (I'm only a tad disappointed that (a) there are five instead of one and (b) that they aren't perfect spheres. OTOH, never let the perfect be the enemy of the good, right?)

https://www.dezeen.com/2019/09/04/seeing-spheres-olafur-eliasson-san-francisco-installation/

Props again to ENIGMA for anyone who finds these interesting

[swift mulch]

Props to you for already doing more research on it than me 😂

[dusk siren]

[copy link, paste link] "I did research" 😅 🫡

Are people still trying to figure out the inspiration for the art museum/gallery in SYS? If so, the San Francisco MOMA seems like it's worth a consideration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Museum_of_Modern_Art

I encourage a look at the wikipedia page and taking note of its geographic location with respect to the water.

Maybe better, going back and searching to see if SFMOMA was in past posts, what I mainly came across were posts about the MoMA in NYC...

Could we be all the way back to that crazy cross-country U.S.A. road trip from NYC to SF idea?

East Coast - NYC - Metropolitan Museum of [Old] Art (MMA #1?)

West Coast - SF - San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (MMA #2?)

NOTE: I'm extremely sorry if I end up covering old ground here.

[swift mulch]

Hmmm good one, I’ll do some reading on that tomorrow

[dusk siren]

I know at least one of the exhibits in the Natural History Museum on SYS was traced to the Smithsonian in Washington, but if we really needed to place SYS in San Francisco, this might at least be a reasonable candidate. https://www.calacademy.org/exhibits/kimball-natural-history-museum

I wouldn't let the unassuming photo fool you. It seems like this place has some big stuff, too.

[swift mulch]

I think San Francisco could actually be a very likely candidate. I’d like to withdraw my thoughts on Spain /Guggenheim. I checked out the trees on sys and there are no palm trees so it’s probably not in a tropical / Mediterranean area

[dusk siren]

I don't know if it matters to the EE hunt, but I actually do think these are reasonable candidates for the inspirations for the SYS$HORIZON locations. Still waiting for a verdict on the Apples question I posted above, which may add or detract from the likelihood I'd assign.

[swift mulch]

Don't wait for me 😅

I just started looking the video where SPEAR did an interview with Embark on the "making of syshorizon". I'm still at the beginning but I noted some things down to help look in a bit.

During the interview Esbjörn mentions: If you look at a city, all the buildings fit in the space they have and the infrastructure surrounding them. For this map we knew pretty early that we needed to find a real world location, where we had a good base for the infrastructure and building footprint and then to sort of apply our own style on top.

The map layout contains: workspace, library, art gallery, museum, and campus.

^ That could help to significantly reduce the options. If they didn't randomize the building types that is.

[dusk siren]

I think what has always thrown me and probably many other people here is that we can't seem to find a location where all of these (office building, gallery, museum, library, campus) are in such close proximity

Or at least I can't

[dusk siren]

But if you relax that requirement, those San Fran locations come into play. But if you go in the other direction, and try to identify the structures and their relative positions, first, then I'm not sure why you need the actual San Fran locations

[swift mulch]

Time to ask Trevor Rainbolt for help xd

[dusk siren]

In other words, I could simply be making up the San Fran thing

Anyway, I'm updating the map to include the Chase Center (the location of the Olafur Eliasson installation), well, because it is also fits neatly in nice proximity to the other locations and because it's called the "Chase Center," which seems kind of on the nose in this context.

[swift mulch]

Overlay this on the map and see if we can match it 😅 🔍

@dusk siren Do you know what CNS stands for?

[royal geyser]

Central network station right?

[dusk siren]

Yeah, not the locations I suggested. But here's a map showing the Salesforce Tower, which I thought might make for a good "Workspace" building (trying to match the outer facade to something like what is in SYS, where the Salesforce Tower features a "curtain wall" that kind of matches). I mean, it feels like there is at least some nice "infrastructure" in the area.

Here's the curtain wall (it's a stretch, but also, the Workspace building in SYS isn't exactly practical, I don't care how temperate your climate is)

[swift mulch]

Hmmm

[dusk siren]

Is this a trick question or am I about to learn something?

That greenspace could be the wide avenue between the Workspace and the Gallery was how my motivated reasoning was thinking

[dusk siren]

But let's face it. Nothing like SYS's layout if one is being honest

[swift mulch]

fair

Ahhhh

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/CNS

God I have a lot of catching up to do on lore and what has been found so far

[dusk siren]

I think, for my part, I might put any more of these "SYS <-----> San Fran?" ideas into Rabbit Holes from here, for the time being.

[swift mulch]

Yea bit of a dead end at this point

Or rather, way too many exits to take on this long road ahead

[dusk siren]

Well, let's see if anyone else takes an interest and sees a way forward or a way that it actually connects to the hunt / Miro. Meanwhile, if I have more thoughts, I'll keep adding to the Rabbit Hole threads. Hope you'll do the same. 🙂 🫡

I still think Eliasson might be good in his own right. I think that could end up being the real find.

Something about his body of work and background that just feels like parallels to clues in the hunt so far. Fingers crossed, anyway

[swift mulch]

Yeye definitely! I think it's fun to dive into this

[swift mulch]

We need to crawl in Robs mind

[quasi stirrup]

hey i would like to help but what are we looking for?

[swift mulch]

On what real life location Sys$horizon is based on

[rugged breach]

Give #egg-hunt-onboarding a look for a general overview, Rockhoundblack's videos are also a good resource

Right now the "main quest" is figuring out 9 passwords for level 3

There's many "side quests" which could help us towards the main one, newest of wich being the fat rabbits, a round 2 of a previous side quest

Once you're somewhat familiar, you can check out #1336838311305810130 to find relevant threads

[swift mulch]

The miro board is actually impressive

[quasi stirrup]

thank you so much!

[dusk siren]

I hope it's okay if I suggest the Miro board link, which is just one of the links that can be found in #egg-hunt-onboarding . It may be too much, too fast, but I think it was the best thing to help me understand how people are trying to build on previous clues and link to new ones. Maybe someone with more experience can also explain the pitfalls of trying that.

[swift mulch]

@dusk siren It's far beyond bed time, but I am also going to place some bets on Singapore

I'll dive deeper into that tomorrow

[dusk siren]

LETS GOOOOOO!!!!

[swift mulch]

Gnight and thanks for the help/company!

And more specifically Singapore marina bay

It has a sphere as well 😉

[pure loom]

I think it's not clarified which apple it is that's been altered. It could be either. I do know Rob was pointing us to the partial one, so maybe that's more likely

[dusk siren]

Well, according to your hypothesis, the partial one corresponds to the logo of Apple Inc. and, in turn, Cupertino, CA and the San Francisco Bay Area, IIRC. Hope I'm not misrepresenting that.

I still think the "SYS <------> San Fran?" thing is almost certainly a bunch of coincidences, or at least, not helpful to the EE-hunt, but I appreciate getting the answer.
(If there's any connection, perhaps it's through the earthquake idea, at best. 🤷)

[dusk siren]

Feels potentially relevant (nothing in a search that I could find).

So those were all old Rob posts, but it seems like we have variations on "ABC" as clues now, as well?

That cover image for Amiga ABasiC was at this link... https://archive.org/details/amiga-abasi-c-reference-manual

I'm finally getting on the BASIC train (not that I know where to take it). Toot-tooooot!

Here's an idea on how we could solve the 9 passwords.
We've gotten a few clues for Silk Road in the Iseult image.
Silk Road connects Europe and Asia.
If we place Europe, NA and Asia like this, then the "connection" between Europe and Asia would be mma1-a and mma3-c
This could mean that those 2 passwords somehow include Silk Road.

The placement of the continents is based on the visible parts of this clue

[hidden basin]

Hey yall, I have something I've been trying to figure out. It's a few frames from the leaked cinematic in the game files. I don't want to share stuff that isn't supposed to be released yet. I know the devs put a lot of work into these releases and I don't want to step on their toes. Am I able to post the screenshot here? Or will that get me in trouble / should I just keep it to myself for now?

[sweet thistle]

We do not allow sharing data-mined content, no.

[orchid forum]

Good to know. I'll keep it to myself for now and we can all talk about it when the cinematic drops

[cold heart]

Thankyou

That's Rob (no joke)

I know, I pray to him every time I'm in SYS

why would cns put rob into their map

rob just joking around

[royal geyser]

clearly cns is actually just a big fan of Arc Raiders

[shy oracle]

well that's one way to understand how he comes up with his easter eggs lol

[fresh quiver]

actually you could leaver C & Doyle out because rob was/is also in iNSANE

[gloomy anvil]

If I stare at my computer like this for long enough, a password should appear, right?

[maiden wren]

yes.

[shy oracle]

oh i didn't know that

this is a lot of underground info that makes me wonder what we're not finding in easter eggs

geez no wonder these things take foreeever

[fresh quiver]

as example: the signature of klee in VVV.

which is hidden in 11 photoshop steps

[alpine junco]

these glitch like the CNS billboards

[gloomy anvil]

still can't begin to understand how that's in there

[fresh quiver]

me neither. this is just insane.

[gloomy anvil]

my only thinking is some kind of compression or reprocessing algorithm that gets the data from somewhere else in the file

[shy oracle]

yeah ima leave it up to the image-tech sleuths who can find that

[fresh quiver]

plus sharpening and probably the image over itself or so

[shy oracle]

my flimsy laptop is in no way capable of handling anything that requires more than 8gb of RAM usage

also im just curious what happens if we give one of these official-art images to a forensic group and see what they can find lol

[fallen summit]

more evidence to add to the sponsor showdown CNS hack theory pile!

[unkempt dune]

what I found interesting about that message was that he used the term "function"

maybe I'm just overthinking that

[slender lodge]

is there some kind of EE/lore with CNS and their love for 5v5's? cuz powershift, TA have all been introduced in CNS seasons and they're all 5v5's

[dusk siren]

Potentially setting up an opposition between "PCs" and "Amigas" (perhaps MultiCo versus CNS, "rational" versus "creative"), we have the above suggestion of the PC's Lotus 1-2-3, and now possibly Amiga's ABasicC. 🤷

[crisp eagle]

TDM info is the leaked stuff we aren’t supposed to know about, right?

[hard forge]

swa we don't know about any TDM mode

[slender lodge]

oh i have no idea, i just opened reddit and saw some video so i thought it was official

[shy oracle]

Huh. You know what. I just learned this in my anatomy class lol
I think there’s a reason why the number 5 is important and why we can’t see the face of CNS.

So we got confirmation that CNS is potentially “Central Nervous System” when Rob eyed the post here.
The trigeminal nerve of the brain (CN. V) is what innervates our face and allows us to feel (temp, pressure, and pain) sensations on our face AS WELL AS our mandible movement (jaw movement). Which could explain and enhance why the talking audio is so distorted in CNS’s messaging in addition to the glitchy static effect.

That also explains why we don’t see CNS’s leader’s face too. Which also explains CNS’s anti-AI face painting.
5 = trigeminal n. = face = hidden

CN V = cranial nerve 5

we have 1 set of CN V’s on each side of the face

[orchid forum]

I like the idea that CNS are the original creators of the finals and they intended it to be a 5v5 arena slayer kind of game, but they got scammed out of it and multico made it an objective based game so they could have sponsors and all that

[dusk siren]

Inspired by your new CNS video (🔥), I wonder if it's worth a reminder of your Arcus -----> C1 idea. Just feeling like there are still several potential connections at this point in Level 3.

[fading vigil]

Well..) at least my thinking is right, but a bit late hehehe

[dusk siren]

Do you guys remember when @sharp flame was going off on the Zarya connections and Rob was like... you are doing a lot "almost right"? Wondering if any of these potential links would be another way to move forward from Zarya:

• Zarya ----> ISS module ----> ISS = "Imperial Star Ship, a fictional spaceship designation prefix in Star Trek's Mirror Universe" ------> Star Trek's Mirror Universe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_Universe
• Zarya ----> the Zarya, a Russian research ship sent to the Arctic during 1900-1902, i.e., a "polar ship" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zarya_(polar_ship)

Rob writing "IS" was one of the things that made me think "ISS" (somehow) was an even more plausible way to move forward.

forwarding only because it was one of the "ISS" posts that seemed disconnected to the main discussion going back into the mists of time

There are lots of old ISS posts that look at least as interesting, as of today, than that DISSUN one, though

[swift mulch]

Has the International Space Station been ruled out from any clues?

[swift mulch]

Zarya was actually one of the first modules made for the International Space Station

[dusk siren]

Thinking about that DISSUN tire being mirrored, potentially, I wonder if the "4429" and "4492" clues and the towers flanking the road are pointing to a "mirror" idea. 🤷

[dusk siren]

Yeah, if you search for Zarya and ISS, people have made a lot of good connections like that

[swift mulch]

Sorry, I missed about a year of hunting 🥺

[dusk siren]

No worries! Me too!

[swift mulch]

Is there a place I can find all clues and links on this topic?

The Miro board?

[dusk siren]

You can check the Miro or do "in:easter-eggs" searches in the search bar

[opal kernel]

miro board is a good spot , and the thread

[dusk siren]

e.g., "in:easter-eggs ISS" gives 54 results more now, lol

That's why I'd suggest using the search function. It covers all threads

I’ve been reading a bit about three-body problems and a CNS acronym appears here:

In 2017, Shijun Liao and Xiaoming Li applied a new strategy of numerical simulation for chaotic systems called the clean numerical simulation (CNS), with the use of a national supercomputer, to successfully gain 695 families of periodic solutions of the three-body system with equal mass.[37]

I’ve just started watching the Netflix series of Three-Body Problem, as well, and Alice In Wonderland was mentioned pretty early in episode 1.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

[crisp eagle]

Everything looks like those dang Skyway carpets

[river heart]

what do you think this applies to Rock? (im newer to the EE thread so i missed some context) as soon as you said Three body problem, i thought about three gadgets in game that have gravitational forces, lockbolt, gravity vortex, and antigrav cube, maybe something the player has to do with those in conjunction on SYS Horizon

[swift mulch]

Something that keeps triggering me about SYS is that the map contains workspace, library, art gallery, museum, and campus, which almost sounds like it could almost be at a university. When looking for schools with shiny balls I found Trinity College in Dublin. And Trinity also has multiple links on the miro board. But I can't seem to make any other connections. Other than that RHB now mentions the 3 body problem which was philosophised by Isaac Newton, who also went to Trinity College...

[hard current]

those are good connections, should maybe get them on miro

[river heart]

where can i find the miro link to catch up

[swift mulch]

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

This is at Trinity

[crisp eagle]

Have you read up on the wiki? If you have and mentioned it already, I’m sorry. I’ve been only lightly reading through here lately. I got pretty sick and missed a bunch.

[river heart]

narr i gotta look into it tn

[crisp eagle]

This looks and sounds familiar. I think someone has brought this up before. So it’s coming back around which is interesting. Pun absolutely intended.

[swift mulch]

Yea I saw some posts before. RHB's post however triggered me to look into it again

[crisp eagle]

I’d get some snacks and read through it. All of the levels and tiers. It’s helpful having a foundation for former stuff, since it’s looking like we might need them again. That and it’ll give you somewhat of an idea of how Rob’s brain works and how to dig for clues. RockHoundBlack’s EE playlist on YT is also a good source.

[swift mulch]

Just out of curiosity, who maintains the miro board?

[dusk siren]

I'm serious... this part of Trinity College Dublin, oriented with respect to that "Sphere within a Sphere" sculpture, is the best match I've seen, without a doubt. Thinking back on @solar glade 's video, it's just a question of how much of the original "infrastructure" was left intact and how much was changed and how many things moved around...

[swift mulch]

Yes I looked into this as well but didn't find it matching enough to mention

But let me do a better job

[dusk siren]

This dude mentioned the sculpture way back when people were first looking at SYS is my guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_Within_Sphere

[swift mulch]

It's the first thing I found when looking into Sys and it keeps coming back

[dusk siren]

Pomodoro = Apple of Gold

heckuva lotta connections...

[swift mulch]

Idk if I want to make this link. Sys has a ton of highrise in every direction you look. I can't match the "modern" buildings to a 500 year old school with no gighrise nearby and I also can't match the footprints of the buildings. So idk, don't want to rule it out, but definitely not convinced.

[pure loom]

I’m not sure, but one thing I did think about while watching the first couple of episodes, is that a planet orbiting 3 stars in orbit around one another could have 3 dawns and one night when all the stars are in a similar part of the sky.

There are multiple potential connections

https://tenor.com/view/ah-gif-24815605

[dusk siren]

Ah, yeah... center of mass... centroid... okay

[pure loom]

Maybe in a couple of weeks. I think we need a bit of time to mess with the connections and see if we can make some breakthrough.

It feels like we’re in a similar place to where we were before we advanced with the New York City connections. Having lots of clues but no clear path. We need to try various combinations of connections between the clues and see where those combinations take us.

[hasty anvil]

Following another Netflix show, Alice in Borderland is based on AIW, and the red queens name is Mira (mira= queen in Japanese). But loosely links queen and mirror

[velvet narwhal]

I just put a reworked version of Level 3 next to the current version on the miro. Feel free to change stuff

[dusk siren]

this is dang good...

[swift mulch]

What clue did I miss on mirrors? I might be able to make another connection

[hasty anvil]

You don’t wanna know…

[velvet narwhal]

Mirror was one of the 5 Truths in level 2 iirc

[hasty anvil]

Search mirror in this channel

At this point if you find something to do with mirror, it could be linked

[swift mulch]

@dusk siren coming back to the Eliasson guy. He's an ertist know for experintial light, space and environmental art. His work explores perception, movement, and the interplay between light and reality. He often uses mirrors, reflections, spheres, and shadows to alter how people perceive the world around them. A key element of his work is how light and reflection create illusions and hidden patterns.

I saw some old post where someone mentioned to see reflections in the sphere in SYS that were not there in the map.

I'm tempted to look further into this

[solar glade]

this was also my first impression of the sculpture — i actually saw one of the IRL versions when i went to Rome while i was a student

but i also remember someone referencing another sculpture similar to this in ANU College of Science and Medicine

[worn rivet]

I feel like we could pick one ir 2 clues and try to solve them

Like in a vc

Because I'm just overwhelmed by the amount of different hints

[pure loom]

yeah, I get that. I can't jump in vc this morning (it's 9am here), but one thing worth trying to make it less overwhelming is to just taking a couple of clues that seem like they don't really link and look for connections, like Alice In Wonderland and Hexadecimal, or Herodotus and Alice In Wonderland and so on. I spend quite a lot of time "cross-breeding" clues like that in Google searches to see if something new appears.

[worn rivet]

Thanks, I'll try that out

[dusk siren]

one of the things that leapt out at me in the article on his London exhibition was a reference to works that are like "tunnels." I wasn't around in the "burrw" heyday, but I wondered if that was a connection...

[dusk siren]

Yeah, there are a few places in SYS where I feel like there are reflections or shadows without a source... Have never known what to make of them

[swift mulch]

Let it be the tunnel to the secret room

[gloomy anvil]

What prevalent and well-connected themes do we have based in Asia? We have a few from NA and EU (let's say NW passage and the Holy Grail as examples) but I can't think of many from Asia.

There's the USSR and the space race, but unsure about specific events, objects, locations, etc.

[velvet narwhal]

Silk Road and Aegean Sea are connected to Asia, but also to Europe

[velvet narwhal]

We have this

[white patrol]

oh it is a chinese clue, never knew that, where did this clue came from?

[velvet narwhal]

Vaiiya image

[white patrol]

thanks! lemme check thread

[gloomy anvil]

in the vein of using the "first three" of things, 123 & ABC, applied to the passwords page

but you could find a forward slash in anything that involves an "X"

[dusk siren]

Now this guy is thinking... nice

If "The Three-Body Problem" (novel) were in play, that could be a Chinese and Asian clue...

But not a clue we already have

Hex for the forward slash is "2F"... any chance Level 2-F carries forward to the passwords you highlighted?

[white patrol]

I really want to help, in theoretical things.. but miro is too massive for me to catch up, all I can do now is find things in game.. is there somewhere I can just keep looking into or small part of EE that is new don't have any connection?

[dusk siren]

That's perfect, though. Any help is welcome, I'd say!

[river heart]

same

[velvet narwhal]

All the combinations possible (1A,1B,...) are valid hex numbers. I'm sure we'll have to somehow use that

[dusk siren]

Okay, I can't resist... every "X" contains a forward slash?

[white patrol]

thanks!tom

[dusk siren]

I know lore doesn't factor in, but... the fact that ENGIMO has a stylized forward slash... pointing to ENGIMO artworks or videos? (I'm grasping, ik)

Is it at all helpful to think in terms of seasons that Rob intended the levels of the EE hunt to line up with?

[white patrol]

yeah, that miro board is too massive for my attention span, I know you should read all that to be able to come up a better theory for later EE but all I can do is look around for now, I believe this is also a massive problem for any new hunters trying to join

[dusk siren]

Like S4 was the start of Level 3 or something?

[dusk siren]

Yeah, I wouldn't try to read the whole board

[gloomy anvil]

I mean the X symbol itself is made up of a forward and back slash, or you could interpret it as a forward slash and mirrored forward slash. "Crossed swords" ties into that because swords = "slash" (as demonstrated in Level 1), so an "X" is technically two "crossed slashes".

[dusk siren]

My advice would be to pick the active threads, e.g., #1318635922350149736 , and find the image in the pinned message of that thread on the Miro board

Then you would see only a handful of "unsolved" or partially solved ideas that could be reasonable directions to focus on

[dusk siren]

Don't make me say "Zorro," with his sword slashes...

the / in "Z"...

Honestly, I think your idea was better...

[white patrol]

I don't have ps sadly :(, it's there any maps I can look into in recent ee or just discoveries in general? I feel like clues from fortune stadium is pretty empty for now

[dusk siren]

Try to think of clues we already have for sure. I'll go back to the drawing board.

[dusk siren]

Yeah, what I should've said is that in-game might have the biggest impact, anyway! Totally agree on Fortune Stadium

[white patrol]

alright thanks tom!

[sonic nacelle]

CNS

[dusk siren]

I thought I'd found a clue to the secret room on SYS.... but it was just CNS... unless the location of the glitches are significant. Were the locations significant the last time around back in Season 1?

[dusk siren]

Not to get too in the weeds, but recently we had a conspicuous clue running from upper left to lower right ("\"). Perhaps we have some clues that run from lower left to upper right ("/")?

[white patrol]

what I see is this glitch is alot larger than the glitches in Sys, what I can understand from this is CNS is corrupting map files to create their own, sys$horizon have a lot recolored props/building part from Seoul/SWS, so maybe next season's map have something todo with skywaystadium?

[dusk siren]

Also, if you think in terms of the 5 pairs of coordinates actually allowing for positive and negative directions, your forward slash from the lower left to upper right (i.e., 1a, 2b, 3c) might be taken as pointing to the (N,E) quadrant, where, conveniently, we've primarily focused to date... (ofc, a lot depends on whether we also get very clear confirmation of (3,2,1) and (C,B,A) clues in order to actually get those other directions)

[dusk siren]

Oh, I forgot to post the example of a "\" clue that I was thinking of...

Is it just Saira? I recall thinking it didn't seem like a good match.

[swift mulch]

It really looks like Saira SemiBold Italic, but the S seems off

And the G. It's similar, but not fully

[dusk siren]

I meant the letters characters all messed up in the white box... unless you can already decipher that some of those letters are S and G...

[swift mulch]

xd at first I thought you meant that, and then you mentioned Saira and thought it looked so similar to the title that I figured you must mean that lol

I think the scrambled up characters/symbols look completely different

[dusk siren]

That makes two of us... i don't know how the person matched Barlow so fast in the most recent image, but maybe someone like that person could quickly deduce the name of this one.

[swift mulch]

I have missed that, but sounds like it's worth looking into

[dusk siren]

Maybe everyone saw this and/or tried this already, but in a way, @turbid tinsel 's idea for the waveform sounded similar to me. We don't know how, but someone else might?

[hard current]

@unborn pilot something to think about

only I don’t think we’ll get anything clear either way tbh:/

[unborn pilot]

It’s not possible. The waveform shows amplitude that’s all. Decibels. For actual audio we need the spectrogram where the frequencies and data is.

[hard current]

Is it possible to estimate what was said based off amplitude alone?

I doubt it but

i.e. amplitude looks a certain way when certain numbers/letters are spoken?

[unborn pilot]

I mean yeah look at the patterns. Break in the middle, so 2 words at least. First 3 amplitudes are the same on both.

[hard current]

and if that’s NOT the case, then it would seem this wave form is less about what was said but what a waveform is

[unborn pilot]

So whatever it is, it repeats

But not entirely

The first peak looks like a strong sound like a P

I have to look back but there was some interesting sites that showed various letters and how their waveform looks.

[hard current]

that’s the sort of thing I was thinking

[unborn pilot]

I will too tonight.

[crisp eagle]

This is not my field and if I’m looking stupid, be gentle, Cade haha but maybe we are being pushed to waveforms in general like Dev said. Maybe we’ve gotta look at the Oscilloscope. We even have a charm that looks kinda like this thing.

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

[swift mulch]

I tried to enhance the audio a bit, and then reversed it. It sounds a lot worse when played backwards

[crisp eagle]

-The first recordings of waveforms were with a galvanometer coupled to a mechanical drawing system dating from the second decade of the 19th century.

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

-Galvanometers came from the observation, first noted by Hans Christian Ørsted in 1820

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

-was a Danish chemist and physicist who discovered that electric currents create magnetic fields. This phenomenon is known as Oersted's law.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oersted's_law

-In electromagnetism, Ørsted's law, also spelled Oersted's law, is the physical law stating that an electric current induces a magnetic field.

[swift mulch]

I like your thinking @crisp eagle

[rugged breach]

We also have this when it comes to audio-> radio

As well as som other bits starting here #easter-eggs message

[crisp eagle]

The spelling being Ørsted or Oersted seemed interesting too with it being the null symbol, then the debris we’ve seen that’s O’s and Ø’s

[crisp eagle]

Oh yea! I remember when this was being thrown around. I like it

[rugged breach]

I revisited a few weeks ago, from when the message is, given some newer knowledge, like the RR connection potentially being Radio Regulations

[unborn pilot]

ever wonder what Namatama sounds like? 🙂

I did try stuff with the waveform no luck but I had fun 😂

[gloomy anvil]

I've been starting to think X and O / 0 are interchangeable in text/passwords. e.g. "gxld"

"X marks the spot" --> In the literal sense a "spot" is a circle shape like O / 0

well i was assuming they were glitchy for cns's return

why CNS is definitely coming back:

i was just going through the singapore one
albeit there's 4, they are encapsulated by a circle

[swift mulch]

Singapore seems a good fit in terms of modern/futuristic style and especially surrounding topology with water and high-rise. This is also why I don't want to exclude Hong Kong. The water and especially the density of high-rise and mountains in the background (plus also futuristic city) make it an extremely good fit. Maybe visually the best one yet.

I haven't made good progress on this one yet. Trying to tie together some loose ends but my guesses are wild and all over the place 😅 I'm sure we'll find something any of these days

[uncut basalt]

Dw it's not on you i don't think anyone has found smth very solid for sys's location

[swift mulch]

One of the more exciting puzzles imo, but little clues

[dull marsh]

The thing is that it's a bit misleading, at no point was it said that SYS was a real location, only that the ground layout was based on one. But it could be 1-floor buildings in a very traditional design for all we know...

[swift mulch]

The number of places I compared sys's map to google maps is unreal haha

Anywhere I think could be a possible location I look around

But yea since we don't know the level of "abstract" they used, it's very hard to look for clues in the map design / buildings

[dull marsh]

Haha yeah I've spammed Google Maps a bit at some point 😄

[swift mulch]

Another potential clue I have yet to discover its relevance, is this part from SPEAR's interview:
https://youtu.be/b1y-c2FwV-g?t=294
Esbjorn mentions they found a layout and infrastructure they liked, but it was inverted to what they ended up going for. He says that what are now the roads, used to be infinite holes. With this concept art.

I wonder why these roads used to be voids? Maybe this layout is not street level, but part of some area connecting parts of skyscrapers together (as a super wild guess). Also notice how every building is pretty much connected with bridges. Something those bridges remind me of is the +15 in calgary, which is a skyway network for pedestrians connecting 130 buildings together.

It's all a long shot, but something that has definitely entered my mind multiple times.

[solar glade]

the reason they used to be voids is because they started out with dioramas like in Seoul but switched back because they didn't want to make a similar layout at the time

and to clarify, i don't think there are any EEs from my talks with the team - there never has been any indication of it to my knowledge

[swift mulch]

Ah thanks for clarifying @solar glade

[swift mulch]

Another brainfart on SYS$HORIZON. Remember how Rob was giving us the clue "science is fun if you know its secrets", which pointed to a phrase The Curse of Monkey Island after making a compass ("Neat! It points North! Science is fun when you know the secret!").

This sounds an awfull lot like something Einstein used to say
https://youtube.com/shorts/4Pb9j7RQ7Uc?si=7FLJweRGp_wm-NhE

When Albert Einstein was four or five years old, his father gave him a magnetic pocket compass to play with while he was sick in bed. Even as an old man, Einstein wrote of this compass with its needle always, mysteriously turning to the north, "I can still remember...that this experience made a deep and lasting impression on me. Something deeply hidden had to be behind things".

We have also seen the shape of a toroidal field (attached image) on SYS, which is a magnetic field with no radial components, e.g. where the magnetic lines of force lie on an electrically conducting spherical surface such as the surface of the Earth's core.
^ This could also relate to magnetism / compass.

The shape also reminds me of a wormhole/Einstein-Rosen bridge, which can hypothetically be used to teleport/travel faster than the speed of light and could also point in the direction of "something deeply hidden". Something very losely tied together since we're at the topic of wormholes/blackholes (einsteins theory of relativity); is that blackholes have an eventhorizon and the map name is called syshorizon.

Not sure what to make of all of this yet, but might give some new ideas?

[dusk siren]

Yeah, I'm probably off on the wrong track looking at these triangle points (unless it's expected of us that we use a planar map like the Mercator projection, rather than the globe), but...
Was thinking again how ABC is often the way a triangle is denoted, with the names of three vertices.
(Side note: I don't know if or how much "delta" has been hinted at, but I assume the delta symbol is sometimes used to represent that it is a triangle, even if there is a more specific "triangle" symbol that should be used - i.e., ΔABC)

Anyway, if we are also interested in "1,2,3" in this context, then, the centroid has some interesting properties relating to ratios of 1:2:3.

[dusk siren]

Also, can't remember if I noted this, but still considering "Voronoi diagrams," as well...
I sort of doubt that these are consistent across languages and grammars, but you do get some interesting words and their variants in "Voronoi" - e.g., "oro," "ovo," "ovin" (sheep, ovine), "iron," "noir." Just wondering if some past clues might have been pointing to Voronoi already. (If only Rob would just confirm or deny 🙂 )

[opaque thistle]

"ovo"

[idle mirage]

Hi, I've been offline for a while, something new about the numbers of the cosmetics each person has?

[river heart]

found these 2 strings of symbols alternating on the pink light line after dying under workspace 4 sign, is this new?

[gloomy anvil]

Good spot, this has been in since S2 but we haven't figured out the meaning yet

[dusk siren]

@gloomy anvil has the earliest STS-51 satellite-related post and from not that long ago

@rugged breach Had this ITU RR radiocommunication services idea in combination with "XYRR1X2," which eventually got me looking at the STS-51 comsat missions.

Sorry to take up so much space in the main thread, but just wanted to provide some context for the pics @uncut basalt discovered (first person to do so to my knowledge, anyway).
I was struck by the resemblance, but maybe I'm too easily impressed.

🤷

[white patrol]

great discovery tom and toxena andaga2522

[dusk siren]

More like great discovery @uncut basalt

But yeah, @gloomy anvil and @rugged breach had the starting point ideas, so anyone who thinks this is cool might want to click through the forwarded posts to see what they were thinking at the time.

[dusk siren]

Frustrating, though, because there has been a consensus for a long time that the clue was really about the Black Knight space debris, and the idea that a clue could be about two things - in this case, the STS-88 and the STS-51 missions - always feels unlikely.

[white patrol]

can they shorten the dissun challenge? I can't wait for CNS :((

[pure loom]

All those pink lines have them, they’re just a bit easier to see on the night variant

does this looks like the guy in dissun image?

[gloomy anvil]

This is the Jan Matejko statue that's also on Monaco and SYS, but I'm not sure if people found it on Bernal yet.

[white patrol]

thanks for clarifying raid, me and dusty might have found a triggerable thing not sure EE or not

[crisp eagle]

I know RHB, Frosty, and I saw him a while back. He’s like right across from the church. Taunting us all.

[white patrol]

that's all we know for this thing for now

[crisp eagle]

Oh weird. So they disappear every time you demat?

[white patrol]

my dumbass don't know how to foward a thread so I copied thread link then got muted lol, I tried twice, same spot all did the same effect, didn't try other spot, once gone, no more comback

[white patrol]

there's this too dunno what it really spell yet let me move to bernel thread

[crisp eagle]

This was found I think day one of the season, but as far as I know it wasn’t ever officially “solved”

I didn’t know copying message and threads links muted us. I thought we all did that all the time

[white patrol]

alr thanks man, maybe my levels are too low

[white patrol]

dusty and I also found this unique "pink mores code like" pattern after demating the pink line floor on fortune stadium

dusty also drawed a really accurate map of it, does this ring any bell?

[spring thistle]

High res ss of ospuse detergent

[white patrol]

yeah ik, what I mean was going to be more clue ig

[lapis sable]

With the Dagger nerf, and mention of the test range dummies acting differently that player models so they require extensive testing before they can be updated, perhaps that's a hint to the dummies being integral to the Roses EE?

[velvet narwhal]

I see a CONSTELLATION

[crisp eagle]

there's gotta be something sneaky on the back of that bottle

[spring thistle]

(The blurriness comes from the charm texture itself being low res)

[dull marsh]

Isn't 32 FL. OZ a normal can volume?

[spring thistle]

Got any other things that need high res screenshots? This is the amount of game that fits on my 1440p monitor

[crisp eagle]

what kind of can we talking? soda is 12oz

[solar glade]

it is

for laundry detergent it is. (i used to work for a company that made house cleaning products )

[dull marsh]

Ah yes my bad, 32 FL oz is basically 1 litwr

[crisp eagle]

oh ok. "can" makes me think soda

[dull marsh]

Another weird ass volume unit

[spring thistle]

Back of the bottle

[crisp eagle]

from the US with love

[crisp eagle]

at least it can be recycled

[solar glade]

it's standard when it comes to cleaning products because it's a measure of volume of the liquid

[quiet ice]

Should be kept away from me. Looks tasty

[dull marsh]

do not reuse this package for dispersing beverage other than OSPUZE PRO JUICE

Bro it's fucking detergent confirmed

[solar glade]

multipurpose juice

[crisp eagle]

does it say "may imitate the aged" under the "keep away from children" warning haha

[dull marsh]

Hey, that's LORE for you!!

[dull marsh]

May irritate the eyes

[solar glade]

inb4 DISSUN's redstream uses OSPUZE pro juice

[dull marsh]

I think Redstream is another shady thing, but more dark imo

[quiet ice]

I’d brush my teeth w OSPUZE ngl

[dull marsh]

After a few years your mouth will be cleaned out of teeth

[swift mulch]

Which means no more brushing. I see it as a win

[solar glade]

i'm just thinking about that one time OSPUZE was said to be used as coolant

[dull marsh]

Not far not far

[quiet ice]

It has no sugar tho

[crisp eagle]

so OSPUZE is basically like the shaving cream from The Ridiculous 6 that the barber uses to cure everything

[solar glade]

OSPUZE is clearly a household brand atp

[spring thistle]

Pre-treat for best results. Apply detergent onto tough stains and dirt spots. Rub gently and wait 10 minutes. Wash immediately afterwards. Use full cap for large or heavily soiled loads. Fill cap to bar 2 for medium loads.

CAUTION: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
May irritate eyes. Do not get in eyes. Do not reuse this package for dispersing beverages other than OSPUSE PRO JUICE.

(Rest ineligible.)

32 FL. OZ.

[dull marsh]

Oh sure but it's gonna straight up melt through your teeth over time, no sugar needed hehe

[dull marsh]

Do not reuse this package* not cap

[spring thistle]

I had a stroke

[dull marsh]

Yeah I figured 😂

[spring thistle]

I KNEW IT.
OSPUZE IS SO BAD THAT YOU CAN USE IT AS A DETERGENT.

Ospiss

[crisp eagle]

I wonder if OSPUZE can clean battery corrosion like Coca-cola can

[spring thistle]

If it's strong enough to remove most stains from clothes, then it is strong enough to remove simple corrosion.

And as a bonus, it's tasty

[white patrol]

huh? i dont have anything here tho

[fading vigil]

Look in contracts page

[white patrol]

or more called "Hexagonal Efficient Coordinate System"

on wikipedia also the brackets come up in the same article

is that from the last Official-Art?

Embark mostly always hides things for us Easter Egg Hunters in these images.

Here is an example which things have been found on the latest official-art

[opal pond]

Can you see them unedited? I cant

Might need to get my eyes checked

[uncut basalt]

Nah, very difficult, but apparently bob could!

[royal geyser]

I’m able to barely see the number fragments without editing

But thats only if i look really closely

Which at that point id rather just mess around with the image to see what pops up

[swift mulch]

I think it depends on your monitor

[fading vigil]

We all do some manipulations to find things on official art, so it’s ok
Also, something may be found not by standard brightness/contrast tweaks

we dont need to. Rob has literally told us he is CNS. Even when that could be seen as soke from some people

CNS => 63 6E 73 => GE GE TE => GGT => Gigatron => Boogeyman => Insane => C-Lous & Dole => ROB..!

[dusk siren]

This on Bernal? "Ventura" is Spanish for "fortune"... Maybe half the clue?

Also, when I look at that initial symbol, I think there's some reason to thinkg it might not be a letter at all. (For starters, it might be taller than all the subsequent letters?) In any case, I think it might be drawn deceptively to look like a Q, but when I look closely, I wonder if it's something like a key hole, perhaps centered in a lock or door. (Or I'm just off my rocker, as usual)

The "K" (if it is a "K") makes me think of a king, but I should stop here till I have a more conrete idea (pun not originally intended) If it were a "key," anybody know ciphers that would fit with 8 or 9 letters (I hedge, because the last "letter" almost looks more like a triangle or "delta" than an "A," but whatever)

[gloomy anvil]

That's my thinking behind the message above too

well the first part

[dusk siren]

Fantastic! Many thanks!

[crisp eagle]

I’ve been obsessing over that same idea. Every time I read back through the wiki I just keep feeling like that’s where level keeps pushing us. 1D keeps hitting me though despite the constant 1,2,3 A,B,C clues

I think that’s where we got Piet Hein and Null before. Can’t load the dang wiki to check

[earnest juniper]

has anyone noticed the buildings in SYS now have names? they look like a file name, LIBRARY_7, for insxtance. ik the # is wrong in my example but, i noticed an outside building having the word LOADING.. but at a distance the A, I, and N kinda lose there shap for a bit as if some of the lights went out.

ive been trying to get screenshots but im new to all that on pc and my medal is recording very poorly.

[dull marsh]

They always did hehe

[earnest juniper]

well darn, i dont recall seeing them ever before. lol

[dull marsh]

As Rob would say, you gotta Open Your Eyes 👀

[earnest juniper]

what about the weird colored glitching around certain spots on the map? that old too?

[dull marsh]

Yup! Although these being old doesn't exclude the fact that there could be some secrets related to them... or not 🫠

[crisp eagle]

I agree. I also see something like a cave opening and a keyhole. Makes me think of the second Lost Legacy sticker we have with the vault under the mountain. Cave maybe? Also the kV could be the symbol for kilovolt (1,000 volts). Also sounds close to the word “vault” which is fun haha maybe we have to activate an electric hidden vault door somewhere like with some EE’s on battlefield. So maybe:
1,000 volt vault door with a fortune

[ornate quarry]

There’s a way to make yourself fall under the map, maybe the EE hunters could try that

I don’t have clip perms but if you revive someone when they are partially under a broken wall, it pushes them to fall below the map

[gloomy anvil]

Rob's message about Nama holidaying at "X, X, and X" now makes me wonder if there are three gold objects and each is hidden in each arena once (Las Vegas, Monaco, Seoul). Nama Tama (egg) being one of them. This is just major spitballing though.

or tbh, even just one Golden Nama in each arena, the location or characteristics of which (such as XY coordinates) makes up the passwords.

this doesn't account for some major clues though

[shy oracle]

Ah I think i narrowed it down. sys$horizon must be shanghai

i thought singapore previously because singapore has coastal landmarks. shanghai and sys$horizon's cityscape being so close to the water and full of skyscrapers is literally so comparable

i take that back. or its rio de janeiro

[swift mulch]

Hong Kong would fit this as well

[shy oracle]

More to scout !

I wish they brought back the Season 2 weekly award system

It's likely to be a weapon skin for the CNS stage with paid cosmetics

he has that in his name since mid of S1 i think?

Nvm i though this was in main chat

[raw storm]

Yeah right when CNS showed up

[fresh quiver]

correct

[raw storm]

Well time to look around the CNS map again

[swift mulch]

Not aware about that, but it looks like it might be a clue of some sort

[fresh quiver]

and to check the CNS reddit hourly xD

[uncut basalt]

was just gonna ask about that
unfortunately i dont think it'll mean much without any vowels

is there a reason why it's 1_4 and not 14 directly
is that how it is used someplace

[fresh quiver]

my guess is that its probably to appear it more glitchy

[narrow coral]

im reaching but it could be "See He Ru"

dont know what the Ru could be tho

[swift mulch]

I'm not following how you got to See He Ru. Can you explain?

[narrow coral]

the lowercase letters + 1 capital letter in front

just something i noticed while glancing at it

it mades two words so i thought i would put it here

[wintry smelt]

oh yeah baby cns time

[swift mulch]

Ahh yes, I see. Hmm not sure what to make of it. But good to keep it in mind 😉

[wintry smelt]

at the very least the pattern is every vowel is lowercase and every consonant is upper case re: @raven zenith

[swift mulch]

How about everyone here explains their bio. @raven zenith, you start 😇

On skyway Stadium there is a bug, like on season 1
Since 5.8.0

[dusk shell]

When I had a look into the fact that the consonants were upper case and vowels lower case all I found was stuff about python script.

[turbid heath]

EE hunters, I've got a favor to ask, what is the data specified in the recent announcement by CNS?

[fresh quiver]

you mean this?

₱ⱤɆ₱₳ⱤɆ ₣ØⱤ ₣Ʉ₦
2͖̿0̫̍͒2̥͍̙5̤͊͘.̢̺̙0͍̞̄2̗͈͒.1_4

Prepare for Fun -> probably something that we like is coming.
2025.02.1_4 -> 14th February 2025 (tomorrow)
From CNS with love -> transformed spiel of "From Embark with love"

tl;dr: something that we probably like to play is coming tomorrow

[narrow coral]

embark already accidentally leaked tdm 💀

the random intern fucked up and left it in the club request menu

[turbid heath]

Thank you so much!

[narrow coral]

someone just mentioned, but would the cns account having the "contestant" role have any significance

it only has one message, so it was force given the role

not sure if it was to let it ping game annoucnments or its a ee

[sharp flame]

It sent a lot of messages during the Season 2 days, they've just been deleted

[narrow coral]

oh damn

less than 115 messages?

also why would those messages be deleted

[swift mulch]

I think the admin role takes care of that 🙃

[narrow coral]

yea thats why i wasnt sure

[alpine junco]

CNS
Chili Nacho Sauce

[swift mulch]

Now I'm hungy.. thanks

[narrow coral]

could be the old messages, but i dont see a reason why they would also delete the old s2 messages

[fresh quiver]

only because TDM was left in it wasnt confirmed.

It was more likely confirmed by the video leaks that some people meant to sent.
(or more the names of the videos)

[alpine junco]

I think it was with the servers resetting

[narrow coral]

servers reset?

[alpine junco]

Lore wise

[fresh quiver]

lorewise correct.

[velvet narwhal]

Would you leave proof of you infiltrating something?

[fresh quiver]

CNS hacked THE FINALS.

CM & Embark fighted against the overtake of the discord. And thats why "lore-wise" the Messages of CNS got all deleted not even 1-2 minutes after they were sent

[narrow coral]

yea i aint cut out to be an EE hunter

the bunnes delusions ends here

time to harrass people in gen chat

[eternal violet]

this is more lore than EE

[tranquil tiger]

💀

pulled from #💥┇spawn-point message

[ember crater]

bruh is this pic real?

[tranquil tiger]

corrected the link

idk, I see no signs of edit

[narrow coral]

i doubt its fabricated using inspect element

[fresh quiver]

my thought somehow too.
Rob/Embark would never ever tell to f off

[narrow coral]

what if they just got really into character and cns and vaiiya were working togther

[fresh quiver]

there you have your proof of editing.

Both Messages came from the same username

[tranquil tiger]

that's not the username

[narrow coral]

aint that a timestamp

[alpine junco]

Thats “today at 10:16”

[narrow coral]

bro...

[fresh quiver]

lol

why are there no arabic characters for the time in RU

but fair enough your right. just realized it myself as I compared

[alpine junco]

if you go with the lore, CNS probably installed that game mode

[rigid sandal]

Is there more map glitches like last time? We have 1 in skyway stadium thats all I know

[mossy wedge]

they were there for a year

[narrow coral]

most likely considering how ta is also an non-cashy gamemodde and its from cns

maybe embark is leaving them there purposefully as clues, or the intern fucked up

[rigid sandal]

dang

[narrow coral]

apparently they were active back in s2

[hard forge]

yes .

[alpine junco]

yes

[alpine junco]

there is also a subreddit

#1244010150420021340

[narrow coral]

according to others in this chat, the messages were deleted insanely fast
