has anyone tried shooting the places on the sys horizon grid based on the positions of the red square in the bundle preview images?

#

im not sure about where exactly #5 would be since you cant see the full grid, so i can only assume its somewhere in thhe middle

#

im also kinda guessing on the order, the only one that has any indication is #6 which i assumed due to being called the "final node"

I tried shooting and following the animation of the 'Final Node' grid

but not the preview images

how many places does the final node grid visit before it loops?

I still mess with the main hunt. It’s the main one I focus on right now. I jump into the images now and then to see if anything clicks without making myself obsess too hard over it and start making things up haha

Or I’ll browse websites and read up on clues and people we already have. I try to find new things possibly hidden in the images but I’m limited to my phone’s ā€œediting abilitiesā€

#

Something I noticed was on the Dissun images, we have gotten hints to space launches. STS-88 and the launch date of ā€œLost in Space.ā€ Then on our ISEUL-T image is where we got our Silk and Silk Road clues. Silk on the fashion company, and space launches on the power company.

for me is the same, I recorded and paused it frame by frame, but the grid I start with is the first grid right after I clicked the shop (the second bundle animation starts), yeah I did put a timer on 9 because it stayed longer + it's the same grid as the grid on sys
so we are probably the same animation, idk what is this tho, I'm thinking caption says "is your maze now" probably means we need to start at (my image's)1 and find something on 9? idk

She was actually the first woman Canadian nuclear physician and she discovered "atomic recoil" aswell as "transmutation of elements" in radioactive decay. What i find most interesting about this is we have had alchemy come up alot in the easter eggs, and transmutation of elements is essentially alchemy. In my mind, I'm seeing alchemy and nuclear energy/experiments are essentially the same

This might be useful https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_cryptology_from_the_1500s_to_Meiji it has the correct number of squares

The cipher system that the Uesugi are said to have used is a simple substitution usually known as a Polybius square or "checkerboard." The i-ro-ha alphabet contains forty-eight letters, so a seven-by-seven square is used, with one of the cells left blank. The rows and columns are labeled with a number or a letter. In the table below, the numbers...

here's an image of the grid to make it a bit more accessible

similarly, we could just note the coordinates, so the starting square would be 56 and so on

pure loom

56 46 44 24 22 12 11 41 43 44 54 (56)

the last 56 is the starting square, so unsure if that should be included again

fading vigil

#

397 (without last 56)

@pure loom
I am not a knowledgeable decoder but
Isn't grid and binary have connections?

  • for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_matrix
  • if blank is 0 red is 1 do we get something here
  • Binary is very strong theme for Vaiiya (there's binary everywhere when Vaiiya building shows up), because their CEO is a computer

A logical matrix, binary matrix, relation matrix, Boolean matrix, or (0, 1)-matrix is a matrix with entries from the Boolean domain B = {0, 1}. Such a matrix can be used to represent a binary relation between a pair of finite sets. It is an important tool in combinatorial mathematics and theoretical computer science.

#

7x7 binary grid can mean something itself, then in that context

1 1 0 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 0 1 1 0 1 0
0 0 0 1 0 1 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0

don't know if this mean anything

#

1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 (if twice then another 1) 1 1 0 1

This is the binary if you follow the pattern can count it's non-stop block as 0

Wait, did Monaco map was divided by 7x7 grid?

And 11 stops = 11 graffiti’s?

crisp eagle
# fading vigil So, maybe we should summarize all the patterns and use only Not used blocks?

I’m wondering if we take them in a certain order. But I just don’t know what info to pull from them. This might not make any sense because I just honestly don’t know much about ciphers. But say there’s an ā€œanswerā€ we can get from each one. Then we use each ā€œanswerā€ in order to get the ā€œrewardā€ or ā€œfinal answer.ā€

#

I’m probably not wording any of that right haha

fading vigil
white patrol
crisp eagle
#

I mean say we use some kind of cipher like Rock posted. We find out what each one ā€œsays.ā€

pure loom
crisp eagle
#

So the one in the ad says ā€œ1ā€
The shirt says ā€œ2ā€
And the Final Node says ā€œ3ā€

#

ā€œFinal Nodeā€ implying the final step in ā€œthe mazeā€ maybe?

crisp eagle
#

Like how you were trying to pull out something from ā€œthe final nodeā€ cosmetic by following the pattern the dot moves on the grid.

#

But it’s not the only grid like that we’ve seen so far with a moving dot. And they all seem to be different. So maybe we try to decode each one we do have individually and they tell us something

white patrol
crisp eagle
#

So the one in the ad, the one on the shirt cosmetic, and the background cosmetic all have a different pattern.

unrelated to what we've just been looking at, but the ropes and caribiners on the Breaking Beta Set could be converted to 3 dots and a dash, which = V (for Volpe)

I've just noticed a few coincidences about the year 1865 with clues we've had:

  1. The photograph of Elisabeth 'Kate' Terry as Andromeda was taken by Lewis Carroll
  2. July 4 – Lewis Carroll publishes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in England
  3. February 19 – Sven Hedin, Swedish scientist, explorer is born (d. 1952)
  4. October 26 - The Standard Oil Company opens, founded by John D. Rockefeller (NYC connection).
  5. April 21 – German chemicals producer BASF moves its headquarters and factories from Mannheim, to the Hemshof District of Ludwigshafen. (in-game sponsor CRMP takes influence from this company)

Maybe there's something else about this year that is important?

Tristan und Isolde (Tristan and Isolde), WWV 90, is a music drama in three acts by Richard Wagner set to a German libretto by the composer, loosely based on the medieval 12th-century romance Tristan and Iseult by Gottfried von Strassburg.

"The re-discovery of medieval Germanic poetry, including Gottfried von Strassburg's version of Tristan [de], the Nibelungenlied and Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, left a large impact on the German Romantic movements during the mid-19th century. The story of Tristan and Isolde is a quintessential romance of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Several versions of the story exist, the earliest dating to the middle of the 12th century. Gottfried's version, part of the "courtly" branch of the legend, had a huge influence on later German literature.[9]"

This astronomer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julio_Garavito_Armero was also born in 1865, and there's some interesting connections

Garavito was part of a secret scientific society called El CĆ­rculo de los Nueve Puntos (the nine-point circle), where the condition for admission was to solve a problem about Euler's theorem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-point_circle some of the geometry in that article looks a bit like some of the art seen in the arenas

Julio Garavito Armero (5 January 1865 – 11 March 1920) was a Colombian astronomer.

In geometry, the nine-point circle is a circle that can be constructed for any given triangle. It is so named because it passes through nine significant concyclic points defined from the triangle. These nine points are:

The midpoint of each side of the triangle
The foot of each altitude

-John Nash also "rediscovered and popularized" the game Hex, created by Piet Hein.
-It made me think of how Herodotus helped "rediscover" the Silk Road with his writings.
-Also how the game Hex resembles a road.
I searched to see if he had been mentioned before, and I find this video you posted which mentions him along with Torus.
I'm going to probably do some more reading on him tomorrow in case there's anything else, but I wanted to post this before I forgot in case we can do something with it at some point.

I had a dream about the hidden room on Horizon
There was a big moss or grass patch growing on one of the map boundaries, and when you held up a gateway close to it, the hole would open inside the moss patch, allowing you to throw the gateway inside
In my dream I launched OBS, threw the gateway and TPd inside. There was some kind of a waterslide tube, I began to slide down, and.. the dream ended before I could see the insides of the room

Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum, and Phooey were five mice who traveled to the Moon and circled it 75 times on the 1972 Apollo 17 mission. NASA gave them identification numbers A3305, A3326, A3352, A3356, and A3400, and their nicknames were given by the Apollo 17 crew (Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt, and Ronald Evans). The four male mice, one female mouse, and...

I did a few decodes but the one that stuck out was corresponding letters of the alphabet. which would spell out Agnus, Denise, and Paula. "Agnus" "Denise" and "Paula" are not terms typically associated with modern computer chips. However, they refer to components of the Commodore Amiga computer system that was started in 1985 with the amiga 1000

The hunt flashes 5 new coordinates and at the time of its release there were only 4 real world maps in the finals. Since there are 9 passwords I'm assuming each location corresponds with 1 password. For MW.Areas 1-3, I grouped the most logical together then regrouped based on latitude.

Here's a path to a curious little find (following yesterday's posts: #easter-eggs message):

  1. 1865 - Lewis Carroll publishes his children's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in England
  2. 1865 - June 10 – Richard Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde (Iseult) debuts at the Munich Court Theatre.
  3. Richard Wagner (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Wagner): his Tristan und Isolde is regarded as an important precursor towards modern music. As he matured, he softened his ideological stance against traditional operatic forms (ie. arias, ensembles and choruses), reintroducing them into his last few stage works, including Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (The Mastersingers of Nuremberg) and Parsifal. (also potential connections to Parzival in Ready Player One here)
  4. The Bayreuth Festival maintained a monopoly on Parsifal productions until 1903, when the opera was performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsifal
  5. Metropolitan Opera in New York https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Opera: The first subscribers included members of the Morgan, Roosevelt, and Vanderbilt families. Under the administration section: The model of General Manager as the leading authority in the company returned in 1990 when the company appointed Joseph Volpe. He was the Met's third-longest serving manager, and was the first head of the company to advance from within its ranks, having started his career there as a carpenter in 1964. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Volpe_(opera_manager)

Parsifal (WWV 111) is a music drama in three acts by the German composer Richard Wagner and his last composition. Wagner's own libretto for the work is freely based on the 13th-century Middle High German chivalric romance Parzival of the MinnesƤnger Wolfram von Eschenbach and the Old French chivalric romance Perceval ou le Conte du Graal by the ...

Joseph Volpe (born July 2, 1940) is an American opera manager and arts management consultant. He is noted for his long association with the Metropolitan Opera, in which he served as general manager from 1990 to 2006. In all, he spent 42 years working at the Met in various capacities, rising rapidly to managerial positions. Since February 2016, h...

ok, this is an interesting side path from that - and one that refers to both time, Morse Code and Sputnik (an early clue): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWV_(radio_station)

WWV is a shortwave ("high frequency" or HF) radio station, located near Fort Collins, Colorado. It has broadcast a continuous time signal since 1945, and implements United States government frequency standards, with transmitters operating on 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 MHz.

2 especially. Some of these clues we get just give me big level 2 vibes

But I’ve also been reading back through the wiki so stuff might be melting together. Gonna dump a couple things I was writing down in a sec. Sorry in advance 🫔

#

I’m wondering if we aren’t finished with the WR, Dolphin, and 3HM yet. Some random thoughts:

-I, We, Who might related to them. The WR in AiW always says ā€œI’m late, I’m late,ā€ and is very self centered. (I)

-Dolphins live in pods (groups) and are very social and care for each other. (We)

-In the Monkey Island games, Guybrush Threepwood would say ā€œLook behind you! A three headed monkey!ā€ as a destruction. (Who)

I’m not very confident in these thoughts, unless it’s some kind of double meaning, because of how strong of a connection we have with early language involving ā€œI, We, Who, 1, 2, 3.ā€

hasty anvil
#

The way people hide geocahes is intersting in how it connects to tfee. People replace coordinate numbers with letters than needs answers to find the subsitute.

As an example one:

When you have all 5 numbers from the bonus cache go to the following related location:
N 51 XXX W 000 YYY
where:
XXX =((ABC)+ 5)/1000
YYY = ((CDE + 8)/1000

We have X's we need to replace in 'I Want To' image
We had tiers ABCDEF in level 2

crisp eagle
#

Also another schizo thought regarding XYRR1X2: Level 3 activation page had 1.0.0 for WR, 2.0.0 for D, and 2.4.0 for 3HM instead of 3.0.0
2.4.0 = 24 = X

In this Waterdance stream, Rob said there are 4 letters on the Las Vegas map that are obvious, and than can be put into an order that makes up one of the passwords for Level 3. https://www.twitch.tv/waterdance/clip/ColdHorriblePrariedogKappaPride-rELVjIqfGTvCmLZQ

I've had a look around the map, and if the letters make up a complete word, there are 3 main options:

"SACE" (assuming it's an "S" at the beginning of the word (see the image)) which is one of the pieces of graffiti in the alleyways. Several options here, but it is an anagram for "ACES," which would fit Las Vegas.
"DECO" from ART DECO GLAMORA which is an anagram for "CODE" - in fact, ART DECO could be "RAT CODE" which would potentially link to Death By Rhodent.
"EXIT" on the doors, which seems less likely.

Also graffitis can be heavily stylized at times, so some stuff can be just artistic choices, but I like where this is going

  • Used tag "SACE" or "SACER" for graffiti

Don't see anything interesting other than that though, if anyone would like to give it a read

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

Dashiell A. Snow (July 27, 1981 – July 13, 2009) was an American artist based in New York City. Snow's photographs included scenes of sex, drugs, violence, and the art world; his work often depicted the decadent lifestyle of young New York City artists and their social circle.

#

He did also have an exhibition titled "Silence is the only true friend that shall never betray you" which for some reason my brain immediatelly connected to "S lies" (Silence?) but that's 100% baseless

Uh oh this one again haha floof and I spent a lot of time in Vegas staring at stuff for this one a while back. I think the best idea we had was to stand on that center stage and move clockwise from Glamora to Eastwood. You get "GAZE" from the first letter of each casino. And you GAZE at stars. There's also some bigger stars on some letters following that same idea iirc, like one on top of the G of the main stage.

#

Lapis Grandstand I think its called. Then the O in Argon has a star in the center. But we never got anything to really work, so I don't know if that would be a path or not. Man I want to dive back into Vegas again now haha

So, Black Knight + Jack = Blackjack? The Jack of Clubs is also a "black Jack" due to its suit color.

The topic of Las Vegas and casinos of course also fits Blackjack. There's a picture in the arena showing "21" on a sign #easter-eggs message

Something to note, the "Basic Strategy" in Blackjack was discovered in the 1950s by the so-called "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse"

I remember coming across the normal four horsemen of the apocalypse a lot during old leads and searches. And Rob said: "we are starting pretty basic..." #1318635922350149736 message

Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is the name given by gambling authors to the four U.S. Army engineers who first discovered in the 1950s the best playing strategy in the casino game of Blackjack that can be formulated on the basis of the player's and the dealer's cards. The so-called Basic Strategy, which was subsequently refined through the use...

Heya everyone, my first time posting here so my apologies if I’m repeating old information, haven’t been able to keep up with you all šŸ˜…
So I noticed that the diamond clue we got looks familiar to something called an electron diffraction pattern, which has a connection to the French physicist Louis de Broglie, who is also tied to electron waves
Additionally, I found this, which reminded me of the second clue we got, so this may be of interest

Rob commented in a thread saying ā€œOSPUZE is LiFEā€

Do you think that was just a comment or was it an actual hint to something

Cause he must’ve intentionally put a lowercase ā€œiā€

He often does so, partly as a nod to iNSANE (a demoscene group he's part of)

There is very very likely some EE meaning too tho

Pelasgians

  • Natives of the aegean/predacesors of greeks
  • Herodotus has also written about them

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

The name Pelasgians (Ancient Greek: Πελασγοί, romanized: PelasgoĆ­, singular: Ī ĪµĪ»Ī±ĻƒĪ³ĻŒĻ‚ Pelasgós) was used by Classical Greek writers to refer either to the predecessors of the Greeks, or to all the inhabitants of Greece before the emergence of the Greeks. In general, "Pelasgian" has come to mean more broadly all the indigenous inhabitants of the ...
