Poor Rob watching people die down in this chat 
Exactly š
Somebody bring in the BF1 hunters. Those guys were the Super Soldiers of EE hunting
Where are the simple morse EE's š
we did learn some fun facts tho...
THIS!! ^^^
It was so simple
Well, not the megalodon. That one was complicated
By the way, Rob mentioned the meg awhile back and put a š¹ at the end of it. We put that on the Miro, but weāre unsure what to do with that information
Ludo, if you want a break from the gigs EE, we could use some more full time P2R2E hunters
sounds like he was hinting that the method to activate the megalodon easter egg is similar to the rose easter egg
My exact thought process
Come on, join me and the gang
https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1203859365610922036
Could use some more help
He mentioned megalodon because someone asked him about it #easter-eggs message
Exactly, that Rose is a complete !!! to me
Caught us all by surprise
Just saw rockhounds video and have a gif saved that I recorded of the computer in sys if anyone wants it
it happens, last time I got realllly burnt out I left for a full year lol
The hunt is always in the back of my mind and I check in here multiple times a day but with my current IQ I canāt seem to progress anything further
at least not alone
diamond clue?
Burrw
That is the clue?
The fact we've not gotten any support nmas means we're at least not too off track... would love one to have a super solid pointer though 
Completely baseless schizoposting, I think the interactive ees reward us with information that either plays a role in the diamond clue path or are a thing in and of themselves. We know for a fact the dolhpins' movements are intentional
they mentioned "don't chase the red herring"
so the question i have is
have you distinguished the White Rabbit from the red herring, or do you not know?
if the trial has gone cold we might need to start over
White Rabbit could be or could not be related to the main hunt
my thought is that it is because the last WRs were part of the hunt
They are related to the main hunt because you can directly link WRs and AIW with each other
Rob said he only eyes big parts of the hunt
Yes, talking about "friend you need" type namatamas
thatās my thinking as well, though Iām curious why almost nobody has gone hunting for it then š
rob even said they made it bigger the last few seasons since it wasnāt found
what additional clue would finding another WR provide?
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?
also it doesnt look like it starts the animation from the same place everytime
Honestly was wondering about channels like Oddheader mentioning this EE Hunt to see if it gets more eyes on it.
I still mess with the main hunt. Itās 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 Iāll browse websites and read up on clues and people we already have. I try to find new things possibly hidden in the images but Iām limited to my phoneās āediting abilitiesā
Something I noticed was on the Dissun images, we have gotten hints to space launches. STS-88 and the launch date of āLost 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.
not sure, why we gotta find it;)
hm.. wonder where the first ever space object was launched
MW 18014 - German A-4 test rocket - 20 June 1944 - the Peenemünde Army Research Center in Peenemünde - first human-made object to reach outer space [ 176 kilometres (109 mi) above KÔrmÔn line]
then the US animals in space
although the britain side had a project 4 years after the german one , but got cancelled to focus on nuclear
Iām looking into goddard right now
https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCT0FF_x-marks-the-spot
Just found a geocache in Guildford named 'X marks the Spot'
relatively close to EA's offices
https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/aliceinguildford
'This Geocaching Adventure takes you to several places in Guildford associated with this famous author.'
Fan made but interesting too
MW you say š¤
Actually the more I read on that, I donāt think Rob would include it in the hunt. I wonāt say the keywords that will trigger a mod. But it was made by some bad people
huh weird, raid did the card red grid starts "sys red grid" for you in the shop?
I don't remember if that name ever came up
what name oh sys red grid? that just me trying to say the position lol not so good at english
for me the card starts at your 4, how did you get the pattern does our shop show different patterns?
I'm using the bundle preview, which shows the card animation, and I consider the start point the point just after it pauses for a split second longer than normal, if that makes sense
like move, pause, move, pause, move, paaaauuusseeee, move, etc
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
if we find a pair of headphones in an arena, I'll buy Rob an ice cream 
Also it's not really a theory imo but in reference to the diamond clue I come across a few things, but there are super computers which use light to process data, it's called photons computing
I would be SO PUMPED with an EE like this
did we have alchemy before?
Tiny bit yeah, like philosopher's stone and alchemical symbols
This looks a lot like the footprint for the building in the back of sys horizon now that it's drawn out
Rob: "You haven't found that yet? ._." 
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...
Ok ill try to use my anime knowledge to see what's in here, thanks rock
here's an image of the grid to make it a bit more accessible
side to side makes it better to see
similarly, we could just note the coordinates, so the starting square would be 56 and so on
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
glad, that you`re going my way) feel myself proud, that i could be on the right path
397 (without last 56)
453 (with last 56)
using a Polybius Square (5X5) cipher, we get: 5646ONTHERSOC with the 6s not counting
note that last two rows and last one coloumn are not used
haha, I have been known to lead people astray before in this hunt
Your work on engaging new blood to ee hunt balances this)
so 30 locations in total - alphabet, plus ????
haha, true
Iāve tried also use 123-ABC coordinates, and hexāing, nothing particular found, but maybe I was wrong
uh, I am not from that part of culture, but isn't there a battle ship board game is grid based, since the grid appear on the sea of Sys, can there be connections?
Iicr the game uses 10x10 grid
correct
you said it yourself that last 2 rows are not used right
if I remember correctly it is split in half, 2 rows are not used so there can be 3 rows more but that can be a stretch
yes, but that pause moment on 9th step is like a space between two "objects" for me
player needs to do something to counter their attack on the map (the map is the left over 3 rows) it would be a cool concept at least, vaiiya and CNS is in war after all
I tried this with A-D repeated - it doesn't look promising
Using this: https://www.dcode.fr/polybius-cipher
sorry my English kinda bad 8, care to explain what objects are you reffering to?
like a space between two words?
if we concider that "stop spots" are letters, we have a pause after 9th letter
the fact it stops for a while at 9th block makes me think, it is more like a route than code, but it can still mean the 9th part of the code is important
my eye catched also this:
https://www.dcode.fr/hill-cipher
we had 0,0 matrix, so maybe this matrix cipher should work
unless that's telling us where the A is?
Or the ninth is repeated twice back to back
wait lemme check
thanks, this is interesting, I need to record it and time how long does the normal block stay
if that's the case we have 1 repetitive code
this doesn't look likely
good idea
56 46 44 24 22 12 11 41 43 43 44 54
^ what that would look like
Couldnāt it also be
65 64 44 42 22 21 11 14 34 34 44 45
please, have a look on the dissun`s sponsor emote. i can see that it has some symbols on the upper part
if it's a Polybius Cipher, usually it's line then column (although dcode gives you the option to reverse it, which it calls "unusual")
Ah
did we ever have a number pad like thing showing in official key arts?
What about the vaiiya charm?
it is not 7x7
I see that now
Interesting name and description for that - VAIIYA FOCUS LOCK - CARRY THE KEY TO CLARITY WHEREVER YOU GO - maybe this suggests it is a cipher key
What does the other side of it look like?
interesting mark on it
Can you preview it not mounted?
ha my bad
Interesting geocache area in Peking
Been searching a few places on geocache rob mentioned he hid stuff at
the side
Haha interesting mark indeed!
@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
I tried an auto decipher using the Polybius Square Cipher, and the result is pretty interesting. The 9th movement is counted as 9 and 10 in this version.
allis sounds a bit like alice
What you guys working on? The Vaiiya charm?
the Viaaya grid square movements
in the Final Node background
I don't remember anything from AIW but check this out
Or alleys
The back ground's caption did say "is your maze now"
https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC28Z7A
Geocache named 'It Doesn't Begin at the Dolphins' Gate' at Central Park NY
All the other gates are named 'It begins at the ...'
do you have a link to this?
Geocaching is a treasure hunting game where you use a GPS to hide and seek containers with other participants in the activity. Geocaching.com is the listing service for geocaches around the world.
I'm not sure if that'll work
If you go on their website and search Peking it's in that area
#1201288968562552863 message
Kinda been playing around with these locations Rob mentioned
Interesting.
I've been wondering how Geocaching is related to the P2R2E. Since we've got a hint of Jack and the Bean Stalk, and the first ever Geocache was the "original can of beans"
I live in peking, If there's actually something need to be pick up or check out, I can go
I think anything Rob has hid irl will be in the form of a geocache
I live near guildford where he used to work so if there's something here i'm looking
so it's only limited in the app? alright got it thanks wig
I'm using the website currently it's a bit easier
What's the location where the Vegas map is set?
Fremont street
Came here to post something else and found out yāall are cooking haha
anyone notice the vaiiya black square with red square inside on the SYS horizon map?
it's out of bounds but clearly visible
from what i saw it wasn't moving or changing in any way
i'll try to get a clip
Yeah there's some discussion a few messages up lol
No notable geocaches in vegas
Some geocaches use these codes to do with coordinates
yeah, that could point to Las Vegas
this is pretty funny,
translation is basically nation standard ethernet service system
there's also ::: on the left part
āJapanese cryptology from the 1500s to Meiji.ā
Weāve got Kyoto 1568
Didnāt we get ENGIMO ads with a giant maze like that?
In season 4
yeah we did
I donāt know algebraic chess notation, but is there any way Aliceās movements on the chess board in āThrough the Looking Glassā has any connection to the Vaiiya grid?
I think I got it,
this is the meaning after decoding the Vaiiya maze grid:
ĆĆ„
Did you include all the 0ās?
I was joking
Oooh cool
that's a good find. coudl 5646 be leetcode? since that's also Rob's signature code
5646 = S G A G
rearranged, it could be ALL IS IN THE 5646
Promisingā¦
Remind me⦠why are 56 and 46 not translated into letters?
the autotranslation runs out of alphabet for those because it only uses a 5x5 grid with 25 letters
guys
you got something?
double check the vaiiya movement. i have another pattern
where did you get the pattern?
I tried auto decoding again, and it comes up with some variations, so this might not be so reliable
like 5646OTHERALLON
it's still a good try tho
Interesting how it still makes English words tho
I don't like that it kinda ignores the 56 and 46 - usually you wouldn't just have parts of a cipher that don't translate neatly
True. I was trying to think of how to get around that, but as of yet have not come up with anything.
What does it translate to with the Japanese phonetics?
This
Congrats on the Level up!
Level up?
yeah your name was white, now is orange, you have some access to threads now I believe?
Ooooh! I didnāt even notice. Thx!
ā¦I donāt think thatās what weāre looking for.
Or is the background pattern differs from cosmetics?
I think they are all different right? Probably wrong haha
the jacket and this is all different to begin with I belive, only observable is shop bundle
We also have the one from the original VAIIYA ad, which is also different.
That Leroy totally done some whiff š
So, maybe we should summarize all the patterns and use only Not used blocks?
(Iām talking about 7x7 ones)
Wait, did Monaco map was divided by 7x7 grid?
And 11 stops = 11 graffitiās?
Iām wondering if we take them in a certain order. But I just donāt know what info to pull from them. This might not make any sense because I just honestly donāt know much about ciphers. But say thereās an āanswerā we can get from each one. Then we use each āanswerā in order to get the ārewardā or āfinal answer.ā
Iām probably not wording any of that right haha
if we lay them all together - any order will work
you can't, there's blocked area so you can't really confirm where did block stop even you count time it still would be vague, only stable and viewable is shop bundle when you click shop
I mean say we use some kind of cipher like Rock posted. We find out what each one āsays.ā
watching mine, it kinda looks random
So the one in the ad says ā1ā
The shirt says ā2ā
And the Final Node says ā3ā
āFinal Nodeā implying the final step in āthe mazeā maybe?
Can you explain what you mean here a bit more?
Haha Iām trying to but failing. Iām wondering if each animated āVAIIYA gridā we have tells us something somehow. Like what you guys were trying to work out with that cipher earlier.
Like how you were trying to pull out something from āthe final nodeā cosmetic by following the pattern the dot moves on the grid.
But itās not the only grid like that weāve 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
I will mention this again
start of Vaiiya add have a pattern too
This is what I was talking about haha was about to send it
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)
Honestly reminds me of the food and arena of the game Snake
Like this kinda
Vaiiya the food CNS the snake
So basically I was just trying to say is what if we are supposed to decipher each of those like you guys were working on with The Final Node background cosmetic, then get an answer by combining the three in order.
1.) Ad
2.) Golden Mean shirt cosmetic
3.) Final Node cosmetic
it stopped at 9th grid, means the snake is eating good?
Before you even think about that are you able to see the full background in the shop or just the preview?
Golden mean have 2 sides blocked, it is pretty risky if we count that in
They wouldnāt force us to purchase it for the EE
You donāt have to purchase it to see it. But yea if the sides are blocked then thatās probably not it haha I didnāt get a good look at it and canāt right now
Fair
So I schizoāed out for a giant āoofā again. Sounds about right. Cheers š«”
I havenāt dug to much into ee in a while so what do we know about this āmazeā so far
Not a whole lot. If you start here #easter-eggs message from a little earlier, thatās the current discussion on what it could be. Ignore my ramblings haha
Just in case here is the third and āfinal nodeā added to the ISS
Tranquility, also known as Node 3, is a module of the International Space Station (ISS). It contains environmental control systems, life support systems, a toilet, exercise equipment, and an observation cupola.

isn't this a hand grab animation?
thanks
If the unsolved cipher and other ciphers discovered happen to use the same key, we can solve for both using the XOR function. Computerphile's video on "Zig Zag" decryption goes over this. As well as several other decryption methods.
what cipher?

Can it really be an ssh key?
I've just noticed a few coincidences about the year 1865 with clues we've had:
- The photograph of Elisabeth 'Kate' Terry as Andromeda was taken by Lewis Carroll
- July 4 ā Lewis Carroll publishes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in England
- February 19 ā Sven Hedin, Swedish scientist, explorer is born (d. 1952)
- October 26 - The Standard Oil Company opens, founded by John D. Rockefeller (NYC connection).
- April 21 ā 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?
The Rockefeller's where the wealthiest family in the United States for the better half of a century. John D. Rockefeller was the world's first Billionaire.
The Rockefeller family ( ROCK-É-fell-Ér) is an American industrial, political, and banking family that owns one of the world's largest fortunes.

yeah, part of the Robber Barons connection that came up when we found the NYC/Central Park connections
Good shit Rockhound

OMG
1865: June 10 ā Richard Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde debuts at the Munich Court Theatre.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tristan_und_Isolde
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. First conceived in 1854, the music was composed between 1857 and 1859 and premiered at the Kƶnigliches Hofth...
Iseult!
ooo
NO FUCKING WAY!
Tristan and Iseult, also known as Tristan and Isolde and other names, is a medieval chivalric romance told in numerous variations since the 12th century. Of disputed source, usually assumed to be primarily Celtic, the tale is a tragedy about the illicit love between the Cornish knight Tristan and the Irish princess Iseult in the days of King Art...
for reference
I wondered when this might pop up again
What a find! Rockhound has done it again!
that's crazy
Could be something found at page 123?
I think we did look for that, but nothing conclusive
Here's something that could be useful
https://www.fadedpage.com/showbook.php?pid=20160902
Before Wagner's ring, before Sir Thomas Malory's round table, there was the legend...here it is, in a version significantly more complete.
Even if itās speaks of something hidden?
it could be worth looking at again for sure, but i think 1:23's main clue was to point us to Alice In Wonderland
"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]"
parzival 
yeah, this did come up (like in late 2022!) when we were originally looking at Iseult
So what about a time reference of some sort? Or date using the : as a /?
š„
so the way Rob used it was to say things like "it's 1:23, time to go to sleep" but the decode for it is A=1 ..=I (morse) 23 = W
Rock cooked again
Yup, Iāve seed you vid I was just thinking about some āextrasā just to see if we already had all with that specific clue
We follow the white rabbit, literally 
so⦠what else about 1865
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
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
The midpoint of the line segment from each vertex of the t...
Meteorite explosion?
I saw you guys talking about space too maybe that help?
I just feel like a big dum dum
Feelin like sherlock holmes right now
yeah, I spotted that one too - it's a possible connection
here's the link to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shergotty_meteorite
The Shergotty meteorite (Named after Sherghati) is the first example of the shergottite Martian meteorite family. It was a 5-kilogram (11 lb) meteorite which fell to Earth at Sherghati, in the Gaya district, Bihar, India on 25 August 1865, and was retrieved by witnesses almost immediately. Radiometric dating indicates that it solidified from a v...
I see that the material might have formed around 4.1 billion years ago
Apparently some studies says that life could have started around the some time soā¦maybe some connection to a museum?
I canāt recall if there is any ārockā in display in SSH or any other maps
I was in middle of something so couldn't pay attention, where did we get the number 1865?
only where the deer display is in the museum
so yes
this mathematician and physicist was born in 1865 too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Rowan_Hamilton some connections there to Lagrange points
Sir William Rowan Hamilton (4 August 1805 ā 2 September 1865) was an Irish mathematician and physicist who made major contributions to abstract algebra, classical mechanics, and optics. His work is considered fundamental to modern theoretical physics, particularly his reformulation of Lagrangian mechanics. His career included the analysis of geo...
Iāve got this one tho
.
oh, interesting - two of them
The Iseult connection seems like the strongest path from 1865
when was the meteor shower event introduced into the game?
in one of the Betas iirc
The Wiki doesn't seem to have a record of it unfortunately
I remember it in OB
Then S1 Alien invasion
S2 retro invasion
If I remember right
probably too early for it to be of use regarding the 1865/iseult/meteor connection. it was just a thought.
yeah, it was being talked about in Sept 2022: #ā”āthe-finals-chat message
Tristan and I-seult iirc in Seoul, I-seult is the only sponsor theme, I kinda want to check out the map, anyone?
see if there's any indicator for Tristan + I-seult musical drama
What about the "Space Rock Skipper" achievement? A clue on what to do? (Achievement in Steam, i dont know about any other platforms)
In the āsingleā Absorbe maybe?
You mean the 1 where you have to make it bounce int the Jump-pad?

A possible Fisher King/NYC connection to Tristan and Iseult too: ...texts known as the Prose Tristan. Extremely popular in the 13th and 14th centuries, these lengthy narratives vary in detail. Modern editions run twelve volumes for the extended version that includes Tristan's participation in the Quest for the Holy Grail.

Forgot the @
oh I was talking about in-map things not the video, and yes I am trying to find what could relates to absorbe too
(If I mayā¦.the themes in the game are straight FIRE)
GUYS! Maybe some meteor related cosmetics?! Like charms or something similar?
I read Fisher King as Fish KFC, I think I need to go to bed š
Goodnight my fellow hunters
HEY Rockhound almost forgot, invite me to the TFEE clan would you?

Have you searched for something about Central Park in 1885?
1865, you mean? Not directly
I thought I got something then you hit me with my own typoš„¹š
https://diannedurantewriter.com/central-park-the-early-years-images-1861-1865
still got this site, scroll all the way down to get to 1865 where it talks about a lost sculpture too
It talks about bridges, the only loose connection I can think of is the suspended bridge in Seul whitch now is makes with the Iseul-T sponsor
Again there's an acheivement for that
this is a really extensive document on Central Park - nice find!
Destroying it youāll get it, thatās true
But does the composition talks about bridges?
I wanted to search for a ātimelineā of installations so we can (maybe) get some info out of it and out of some changes compared to todays Central Park
And here is the story of the Statue it self
https://daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2016/10/central-parks-lost-statue-of-commerce.html?m=1
So it wasnāt removed in ā65 but still got quite a reputation that lead to its removal apparently
For what I can find itās the only(?) attraction that got removed permanently
For the walk ways?
Or the shape?
overall, it's a small/slope or hill with a small building on top
Wait let me see 1 thing real quick
Well there is a Rose Park in Ce Central Park but it reminds me more of a part in Monaco
some tree comparison
yeah I noticed that too Conversary garden right? looking it up while we speak
oh rose park? in NYC central park?
This
The tree seems real similar between the Game and the first pic of the trees
yeah that's why I am making comparison :3
Can we get a species for the in game trees?
Let me try real quick
Mapleā¦the one in game is Maple
And apparently there are Maple trees in Central Park
On to the second tree
this tree's root appear round just like in-game
The tall one is Birch
It says thatās the most wide spread tree in the US and it found in 2 locations ins Cent Park
Nice :3
Do you think that this small nature display could be taken from Central Park or something similar too?
Always forget to answer sorry
nono no worries
that's normal when we think hard
Can you send me a pic of both the hole area (possibly new) and a couple including the bench area?
some dude in main chat is saying hes getting morse code in the menu
what are you trying to find?
At least the bench so it could give us a location
Maybe itās a reference for some kind of city or attraction
Having that connection could get us closer to some more clues maybe
Replying to a 2 year old message:
-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.

So its been three weeks since i been here, whats been the biggest highlight so far
nothing
Quick sidetrack
Could the fireing cannons in Monaco allude to the 2 cannon fireing in 2019 from the prince and his loved one?
funny, but also kinda true
rob gave a new clue to hidden multico document
"one one one"
hello, the cannon EE is not active at the moment (AFAIK)
Opsā¦I didnāt know
I just read about it being reactivated in S3 and S4 (technically)
Fingertip clue?
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
Bro needs a vaiiya chip
I think it was a vaiiya chip that prevented me from seeing the room and woke me up!!
Rip that thing out of your head. Just drink
mixed with a bit
Redstream and your brains gonna work 3x faster
If I found a sitemap of the holtow.com - is it legal for ee?
I don't think it's legal, but it doesn't really help anyways since you're able to hide urls from the /sitemap.xml
and all the Urls in holtow.com/sitemap.xml are already known
Ohh.. i thought I find that sun image š¦
nah. A qr code cosmetic that released ~november last year led to that page. #easter-eggs message
Yeah, found that, thx
This has probably already been brought up but those dots could be connected to the Vaiiya red square
Especially since the red blinking dot on holtow.com was a square that was masked to look like a dot. Read this for context: https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Holtow_Website
Found a map where it shows battles/rulers year by year. Could be helpful while searching for a clue
https://www.oldmapsonline.org/en/history/battles
Did someone ping me here? I got a phantom ping
The 2 hour break in conversation here got me worried
Easter bunny
This is just the meal prep time before everyone starts cooking later
L,G,M could also mean the three common/important satellite orbits
- LEO: Low Earth Orbit
- MEO: Medium Earth Orbit
- GEO: Geostationary Earth Orbit
https://www.telkomsat.co.id/en/news/understanding-the-3-types-of-satellite-orbits-leo-meo-and-geo-408
makes me think, light, medium, (giant) heavy
now that makes me think "fee-fi-fo-fum" for the roses involves the heavy build (as the giant) haha
heavy throws farthest as well, which may play into the levels of orbit angle
orbits are a level 3 thing (by my understanding) but I wonder if/how Heavy could play into the roses specifically
maybe heavy-specific equipment
hmmmmmm
Haha I tried using the dome shield as a green house before. Couldnāt get anything interesting to happen
I think I had brought the roses where the light comes down in PR near that kind of stand alone tree and mixed throwables along with the dome to try to get something to grow haha
I think I burned it first too in order to get that good soil
Have we looked at geosynchronous satellites that intersect with the coordinates we have? (I don't even know if you can look up the orbits of satellites)
Coordinate for satellites iirc are specified by lagrange points? I could be wrong tho
not the same as the coordinates weāve been given either way
@pure loom When possible could you possibly help me research Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum and Phooey? Rob gave us a Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum clue for the rose EE awhile back. 5 roses, 5 mice.
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...
On a stupid notes, Rob said āFeeā-Fi-Fo-Fum
Double Eās
And fee is also a term used when referencing money:
Lmk what you guys think
Maybe chemical elements
Well, we did get a clue about NPK Fertilizer, but we hit a dead end not knowing where to go with the information, so Iām backing up a bit to see if I can open some more doors
NITROGEN = N
PHOSPHORUS = P
POTASSIUM = K
Iām realizing know, he put them in a weird order
NKP?
Probably just him saying whatever, order not necessarily important
There is a train called the NKP 765, 99.9% sure itās unrelated
on the byte buster sticker, the numbers on the top are 1, 7, 14, 21, 19, 4, 5, 14, 9, 19, 5, 16, 1, 21, 12, 1. 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
Iām pretty sure itās a joke on leeks, leeks use NPK fertilizers with higher Nitrogen hence why heās saying he doesnāt leak and says he uses less nitrogen
You gotta be kidding me
Did Rob just send us on a 2 month long red herring? š¤¦
Wouldnāt be a first
From CNS with love i think
This was found, but thatās a good eye and exactly what we need around here! Thanks for sharing 
This is why we need more people for the P2R2E to cross reference with other people. Our lack of hunters caused 2 months of anguish for a leek joke 
A pun caused me 2 months worth of migraines
I wish I helped sooner but works so busy I donāt even know whatās going on here anymore , if you want though I can send you the link for plants that us a 8:20:20 NPK fertilizer
These use less nitrogen and more of the K and P
i think the problem with roses is the lack of clues, not hunters
Add vaiiya logo and itāll be perfect š
I do have to say though, if youāre relating this to roses lower nitrogen would cause the roses to have yellow petals and less flowers over all, would be a weaker plant in general really
This š
It could be a Leek joke but used to point us to NPK. He likes doing that double meaning stuff and playing with words. Iām not active in the PR one but Iāll lurk from time to time, and I still feel like the overall NPK stuff is a lead. By the way, I think I missed it but whatās behind the nickname P2R2E
Just checking in, did we ever find that Amiga graffiti art in Kyoto?
Itās literally a team of 4 working on P2R2E (Practice Range Roses Easter Egg. 2 Rās, 2 Eās)
P2R2E
Dude I spent so many late night hours being bored looking for that thing but didnt find it
@crisp eagle
Iām looking right now to see if I can find some Rose reference
I was playing a bit with fire and I got 5 spots were fire keeps burning indefinitely, even when you throw a smoke on it
does anyone have the exact coordinates Embark uses for vegas, kyoto, monaco, and bernal?
Nope but I think that looking for references you could find themā¦like searching the Church on Maps/Earth
figured
Wait I can try if you want
is anyone working on the 9 passwords rn
They're always being passively worked on, you'll see new theories being shared here and there. It's usually more active than it is atm, but we haven't made considerable progress for a while.
i may be on to some shit hold on
Guys
yes?
I was playing around with roses
I think I heard an āexplosionā far away tho
And walking on a certain spot my controller vibrates
Explosions are probably from other players in the same server, but vibrations are weird š¤
Iām in the practice range
Wasn't the vibrations how we found that one spot you drop a rose and can't pick it up again? I think it was rhb who found it first?
The only āshootingā thing is across the map, in canāt even hear it
Yea they put multiple PRās in the same server so sometimes you get things that will āpass overā
Sorry, vibrations?
Like haptic?
Iām on controller
I wouldnāt put it beside Rob to implement something like that
Nono I was just walking between 2 steps
Heās pretty cheeky
If you want I can stream it to you but I donāt know on witch channel
I noticed vibrations in the PR park yesterday but I assumed it was the other player or the shooting dummies
But those are too far
Btw I heard just now a Sniper shot but I donāt think dummies use it, not as far as I know
That's probably the other player
if they go out-of-bounds they can shoot towards you
Could be, Iām not paint that much attention to the shots considering some time audio seems to glitch
If you want I can show you, could be nothing but still better be sure right?
I can't vc but feel free to record a clip
I canāt send any media for now hereš„¹
Iām trying to see if it happens again
All my dummies changed color now wtf?š
What is happening lmao
43 = 2B in hex (1A, 2B, 3C?) just noting
The decimal coordinates for Fremont Street Experience (Las Vegas) are 36, -115, and 36-115 = -79
bug
The colour or the fact that they are all considered friendly?
red=enemy, blue=friendly, and the bug is that they all become one or the other
so color and friendly at the same time
And the part were they shoot each other are just inverted?
idk about them shooting each other 
Yes, definitely. We might have made a little progress yesterday with the year 1865.
From here down: #easter-eggs message
I think it was just conincidtance
But experimenting I saw this only once, itās another rose I placed there that for some reason highlighted red
THE NUMBERS!!
The one youāre holding turned red because it was in the ground, which happens with every carriable
MW. AREA #1 (Americas & Arctic)
Svalbard (81°N, Arctic Ocean)
Greenland (72°N)
Las Vegas, USA (36°N)
MW. AREA #2 (Europe & Africa)
Monaco (43°N, Europe)
Sahara Desert (27°N, Algeria/Libya)
Ennedi Plateau, Chad (15°N, Africa)
MW. AREA #3 (Asia & Middle East)
Caspian Sea (46°N, Russia/Kazakhstan)
Seoul, South Korea (37°N)
Kyoto, Japan (35°N)
I know they turn red, it was already on the ground the other
What happened
what's the basis for these?
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.
I tried zooming on what I mean
ah so the 4 real-world map locations + the 5 coordinates = the 9 passwords
I never considered that Rob could've chosen the number of coordinates based on how many real-world maps were in the game when L3 started
e.g. if it started in S2, there would've been 6 coordinates
just thinking out loud
Now if we get another real world map, would we possibly āloseā a coordinate based on that idea? š¤
Or I wonder if it would stay and solidify the theory. Well either way it could I suppose
I tried it with bernal but then there wouldve been 4 in area 1
Oh yea thatās true
Idk why Bernal's coordinates weren't used though
Is there some on on for like 30ish minutes so we can look around some maps?
Ah I see, that is weird
That light effect is reproducible on every prop you've picked up. I'm not sure why it's red tho
I think I never seen it that red
I've seen it when you hold carriables through a wall
Yes, thatās pretty well known I guess haha
Totally something is there
lightning bolts?
Yeah but they are not same or patterned
oh youre right. looks almost like a graphic pattern overlayed in the logo
For me itās more like V letters, or Nās
I canāt get good screenshot not on the red background
But it can be seen in the char customisation too
im def seein lightning bolts, but they are certainly different shapes and sizes
hmmm maybe just part of the logo animation?
Nah, this pattern is consistent
For better visibility
i mean in the sense of the logo unfolding, for lack of better words. like it has sequence in which the logo moves and becomes visible. possibly it could be a part of the transition?
if that makes sense
yeah it almost looks like a skin overlayed within the logo kinda
or like pattern image layed over it
Triangle camo?
or lightning bolt camo, but yes exactly.
But itās not a logo thing, it was and should be plain colored
could it be something CNS has done, like the lil pixel lines in the player card backgrounds for example
Here I posted a video of the animation
oh that def looks like a lil CNS glitch, seeing it in action like that
i havent been on yet today so i havent seen it in person yet
I can't send photos but just wanted to confirm I have the same pattern
Here's a path to a curious little find (following yesterday's posts: #easter-eggs message):
- 1865 - Lewis Carroll publishes his children's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in England
- 1865 - June 10 ā Richard Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde (Iseult) debuts at the Munich Court Theatre.
- 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)
- 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
- 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...
im sure everyones got it. prep for the sponsor showdown prop
Probably! Haven't done any easter hunts just wanted to help out
Parsifal (WWV ā111ā)
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. WWV is operated by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technolog...
You can listen to a simulation of WWV here: https://wwv.mcodes.org
5.15.25
Rob gave us something with such name
can you recall where?
Some image name iirc
ah, it was holtow red dot gif name
there are links from WWV back to Galileo too
This is mentioned on the WWV page and it has links to the Galileo GPS (a clue in Level 1): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_clock
An atomic clock is a clock that measures time by monitoring the resonant frequency of atoms. It is based on atoms having different energy levels. Electron states in an atom are associated with different energy levels, and in transitions between such states they interact with a very specific frequency of electromagnetic radiation. This phenomenon...
Mentions ceasium in that but i'm unsure what it is
and ytterbium
āWWV was established in 1919 by the Bureau of Standards in Washington, D.C., making it one of the oldest continuously-operating radio stations in the United States.ā
111 could potentially be pointing us back to Level 1 too
yeah I've been looking deeper at geocaching for that
I keep thinking we need to go back to Level 1 and 2 big time
2 especially. Some of these clues we get just give me big level 2 vibes
But Iāve 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 š«”
Iām wondering if we arenāt finished with the WR, Dolphin, and 3HM yet. Some random thoughts:
-I, We, Who might related to them. The WR in AiW always says āIām late, Iām 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 āLook behind you! A three headed monkey!ā as a destruction. (Who)
Iām not very confident in these thoughts, unless itās some kind of double meaning, because of how strong of a connection we have with early language involving āI, We, Who, 1, 2, 3.ā
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
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
Rearrange to 1X2 maybe?
I was also thinking back to sliescetaceaasconse, like imagine if SLIES and all WR was to do with the first 3 passwords
Also the images with 123 (green 3) at the top matching with the land area continents was sus
Maybe the first clue of all 3 tiers?
or the 3 clues of level 1, so 111
But technically 3 clues of tier 1 got us to tier 2
111 in ascii is o
hey, somewhere recently some art or a video included an image of a maze, iirc - does anyone know where that was? I may have stumbled on a connection for it, but I need to check the image
I think it was an Engimo image or video
engimo ad has maze in it, it was from S4, not so recent
S4, great, thanks!
I'll find it
This is from the animated movie of Alice In Wonderland from 1951 - quite similar
The clip if you want to watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsW6o4JxTtQ
there was a connection being brought up yesterday about vaiiya grid and AIM&Maze
yeah, that's what piqued my interest in it
Alice in Wonderland is a 2001 platform video game developed by Digital Eclipse - a possible link to eclipse clues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_in_Wonderland_(2000_video_game)
Alice had surname Lidell, is it applicable to that password scheme?
idk if this is how petition works, but maybe rob will see this lol, kind of a meme itself but dunno if I can get lucky
11/10 shitpost š¤£
keep thinking of... "one", and "uno", and "only" recently
re-realised that this image is called 0001.png
yeah im thinking so too
#easter-eggs message
Rob said t1-f had 5 clues for a future map and 2 clues diamond clues (specifically clues)
Looking at miro it seems 46 204 doesn't connect to t1-f's password
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Through_the_Looking-Glass
this is also looks interesting
46204 connects to the NYC clues through Indiana Limestone (46204 is the Indianapolis zip code) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Limestone
Indiana limestone (also known as Bedford limestone) is a form of limestone used as a building material, particularly for monumental public structures. Some 35 of the 50 state capitol buildings in the United States are made of Indiana limestone, as are the Empire State Building, Biltmore Estate, the Pentagon and National Cathedral in Washington, ...
I should add that to the Miro board
- The sun has two circles around (the second one is a border at the sides of the picture)
- Strange object on the horizon
- Another object
- āCZā letters?
Letters?
"the one and only!" phrase could be connected
I think CNS could mean CHAINLESS š¤

I missed one but you get the idea
I really like that map, after work Iāll take a look, if some one want to help we can go in for a private match
I can probably help
Iāll DM you when ready maybe?
was this here before?
The unfocused pixels?
BTW Iām ready if you want
yeah, I know it exist but not that position
in WT rn. mind wait abit?
No worries, give me the call via Private Channel when ready
I'm ready, you can go ahead create lobby :3
Just set mode to final round so we won't have game events
Sure thing!
I got it all set up while waiting
alr, hit me with the code
Yeah sure! DM me
Found this on Fortune Stadium
Besides this thereās a lot of shoes foot prints but this is the only one that seems like the number 8
I searched all nearby and on the hole Engimo roof for similar markings but as I said, only shoe footprints that seems to be from the texture it self
@slim jewel Found that 8 on the 8th floor of engimo building
the building also seems to be the only one building that count it's base floor as floor 5
The holtow one only show a singular 6 so I am not sure if that means floor level or not
We saw that the X shapes are all what seems to be antennas, the 2 in sector 4 (Iseul-T Big Building) seems to be bigger and unaccessable due to being place on the very top of the building (which is unreachable)
Yeah, those two are pretty weird, huge too.
I wonder if anything will happen if we struck them using orbital lazers
Yup, we saw that on top of each there is the lightning rod to catch lightnings
Is that baked into the texture, a decal or caused by lighting?
it's not something about lighting, and not sure what you mean baked into texture, we didn't find any other 8 on the same textured walls tho
Baked into the texture means it's part of it, a decal is something you apply over the top, like the rabbits,monkeys,cetacea letters, or even sewer grates etc
Where exactly is it? Gonna make a mental note to check out later
alr thanks for explaining Toxena, I think it can be a decal,
it's on top enigimo's building, this image should give you the location
Sorry I didnāt get the notify
It seems from the wall it self, not directly cause by some kind of light
It didnāt clip trough tho
I'm in the habbit of turning off the ping unless in a situation where I'd @ them if it wasn't a reply
Kinda looks like that way to me as well judging by the screenshot, defo want a closer look both at it and similar textures around it. If it's a decal we could be on to something but it's also likely to be a weirdly shaped smudge similar to in @'s followup screenshot
Decals don' tend to if placed properly (looking at you, road monkey), they're only marginally over the texture to the point of being unoticble. Graffiti in games works the same way
Thatās what I was thinking, I looked around the other textures just to make sure
It could be as you say a smudge/nothing but I send it just to make sure and to eventually confirm/deny it utility
Always good to have more eyes on things
Oof! Poor road monkey haha
How confident are we that the maps rotate every 10 minutes?
Iāve tested it like 3 seasons ago I think it changes every 10 minutes on the 3 for example 6:03, 6:13, 6:23⦠etc
yea same
I am about to test it this season
but thanks
Np
Let us know what you find out
seems the same
11:22 - 11:23 - Las Vagas
11:34 - Skyway
and I qualified sadly so I can't test the next rotation
ima make something that will let me doge maps 
Guys
Ever looked at the World tour banner?
Accept no lies? Is it just for the Game lore/event or might come handy?
I know Iām looking everywhere
This a bug or a clue?
This is still a thing like 2 updates? I checked it again and itās still there
looking everywhere too. ranked overview video has this frame.. why mirrored\caleidoscoped?
Yeah possibly clue.. I looked at more buildings on ss and it appears the lights matched with the building's exterior paint color. Except for one yellow building in the residential area. can't send pictures but the other buildings are the pastel green building (Bright, very light green tinted lights) and the THE FINALS building (yellow tinted lights)
Can you imagine Rob having the best time looking at us when investigating the strangest most useless rock while the EE is right ing front of our eyes
I always imagine that, I feel like rob have the best job in the world right now. yeah game devs are kinda stressed, but watching bunch of people who support him being clueless about what his hint is about is next level entertainment
But at least we are all having fun and thatās the best part in my opinion
yeah that ofc!
Las Vegas Zaraby Casino - Slot Machine Easter Egg
is there a list for the number of carriables in in the practice range?
Me dodging Kyoto
I counted all the object I feel weird about, canisters are included, but not every carriable
Whats going on in easter eggs rn?
tysm 
Could you post that in https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1231616408270405762 as well?
Having trouble finding it in the forward message tab 
Nevrmind works now since linking the thread š
#1231616408270405762 message
Is this the full list of cns messages in the files?
maybe i could do the whole alphabet
Oooooh me liky
are we just that bad at caesar ciphers or is this one crazy hard
TextLayerText FROM EMBARK WI¤Cā=[\N¤)S.!```
Need to try too
Ah! Been looking at the same thing last night
Some of the letters encode to different characters so it's not a simple 1-to-1 relationship
But some seem to appear multiple times, so it's probably not random š¤
Yeah, it can be hard but worth to try. A bit more of deciphered letters or messages and all others will fall
I believe there's a pattern but it's not a simple substitution cipher, so it's not gonna be as simple as mapping which is which imo š¤
The messages obscured by cns hacks, and you canāt really say where is the message, and where is the ābroken dataā
Has this message been decripted already?
Idk
But from embark with love is always capitalised
Even tho it might seems like they wanna say āTHE FINALS!ā Or at least FINALS! Too
Donāt settle on other letters. Maybe from C to S in CNS part is gibberish, and only T is viable as that small circle
FROM EMBARK WI¤Cā=[\N¤)S.!
The original is likely to be
FROM EMBARK WITH LOVE.!
Usually it is but now we have the CNS letters too
Yup I think they were added on top of the rest
CNS has gotta be a part of a word
Likely a password
As my playlist is suggesting Cāest Absurde
Maybe "¤" could be an indicator for a cipher rotation?
also looks like HTML codes?
Nah itās not html I donāt think so
It's nottt but it has like similar aspects, " &/¤"#(? C&/¤N) &&#S/#! " kinda reminds me of entity encode like � almost... like the "&***#" part. Or "FROM EMBARK WI¤Cā=[\N¤)S.!" kinda feels like a <Input-type=Number> style commands..
ABSOLUTE CINEMA
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.
Rob saying the 4 letters have been there since the launch of Season 1: https://www.twitch.tv/waterdance/clip/AgileFlirtyPlumberNomNom-hOYCaJ0NDuE013ig
That makes a lot of sense but I think the lynchpin here is that in the clip he has to count them, even miscounting 3 and then correcting to 4 letters, whereas all those don't leave much space for that
in other words, they are from a longer word?
or not near one another?
I believe they're either split up, either "hard" to read (like you gotta decipher them from binary or Morse or something)
We guessing words again? I did good last time we got any confirmed letters yet?
Or hidden, maybe even slightly encrypted.
Things that pop to mind is the big flashy signs on galmora's decorative rim
Ziplines on main street forming T,A,X,I(?), though I admit that's somewhat schizo and also tried a bunch of taxi passwords to no avail
Those writtings in the parking garage we never made anything out of
Scratches on the eastwood painting
Potential braile on eastwood's rimlights
Something out of bounds or really small
SACE isn't it?
or do you reckon it's a combined S and P?
Are there more graffiti like that in the map? Maybe theyāre words missing a letter and those letters are what you need
P and I combined would also make sense given the curvature of the "A", SPICE
For example sace missing the P, so P Is a letter
Maybe H from Rhodent, because it shouldn't be there?
True
Also graffitis can be heavily stylized at times, so some stuff can be just artistic choices, but I like where this is going
Any 4 letter words with P and h though?
being a practicer of them, yes style has alot to do with it. backwards R is a common flip
Ok ima say we need for than just p and h then lol
part of the graffiti is inside the crack
Wait, thatās a pretty obvious A
I see CADY
- Used tag "SACE" or "SACER" for graffiti
- Born/died in new york
- Publication titled "Love roses"
Don't see anything interesting other than that though, if anyone would like to give it a read
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
yeah, the NYC connection is a good one
anyone tried sace on the pages yet?
Ctrl+f doesn't bring up anything in #1226677330689261631 so prolly not
ha, no, I actually only tried ACES
In fact, we've only mentiioned it like 5 times before now
R A T C O D E R A T C O D E R A T C O D E
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
The area the red box takes is the same amount of shown slots on Vegas (can't post images).
Red box being the latest animated box moving across a grid, icon
Jus realized something neat

anyone want to lobby up on vegas?
I can help out if you still need someone
yes ty!! but I am in a wt rn might need sometime, no need to wait for me tho!
I'm just chilling in training and doing some platform, I'll still be on for some time so no worries text back when you're done!
alr thanks!
I'm ready! A3G7
question, if we input it in the level 3 page would it matter which textbox we input it? or does each password belong to one of 9 specific spaces?
Here!!
do you mind switch to new lobby? we got a pretty bad weather unlucky
Yeah sure, no worries!
1DYS
can you reconnect?
Doesn't seem so, though can you two play on your own? I don't mind sitting out!
we can totally restart!! no worries
unless you were just helping me to open a lobby
Just exploring some Vegas for myself, don't get to play it too often, nor have I ever done hunts, just happy to help!!
Go go I'm glad I got to help!
If you need anything more later on I'll be here
tysm! tell me if you want to explore! i'll help
Thanks as well!
Any reason or importancr why blue and red mannequins switched in training range?
I have not found that it swaps at the 3 minute mark, I have set it up to assume that it does it at 6:00 6:10 ect but other than that you are spot on
heyhey want to come again?
JIGW
Sure thing!
Will definitely be using this!
ill send you a link
How so?
you cannot start again after a match, because it will show match still in progress
Ohhhh yeah yeah! That's what happened last time to me šš¤
I think I am done for now, if you want to keep exploring I can help!
I was gonna say I can do one more if you need then I'd have to go so it works out! But no need, glad I could help!
tysm!
Same to you though!!
I assume they are specific
Raid and me tried this in the past aswell iirc.
or was it rcade? someone of these
Well kinda
lol is Rob the Jack
I think thats Oscar hahaha
I kinda see something written on his clothes
Rsw / Rsv / R5w / R5v
maybe it's nothing
I think that's the
logo
oh yeah
Morning everyone! The Pueblo Powder set lets us see the serial numbers and markings better. Use that as you will 
3 aces, one Jack
3 dawns one night?
whats the first word on the coffee cup
worth noting it's the Jack of Clubs, same as this Black Knight (night) card
"WANTED: MORE COFFEE"
I think
āJack Aceā huh? Haha
Jack + Ace = 21 (blackjack) in the game Blackjack (Black Knight + Jack?) 
is that what you were already saying? I can't decipher your message š
Jackass
Oh no haha I was being silly. It sounds like ājackassā
ahhh
But I really like the blackjack idea
I didnāt even notice that. My immature brain went straight to funny sounding things
Why I feel like there's a lot movie element cosmetics.. are we getting something movie related in next map or we getting Hollywood in s7?
It was the Oscars last week so it could be that
Hollywood would be hype
I think this was mentioned a long time ago, but I still think the Joker from Batman being named Jack is something weāve gotta play with more
I didnāt even realize that haha live by the Hunt, die by the Hunt.
CNS gone? ššššš
EE PSA:
- the VAIIYA grid is still here
- and "new" glitch cluster has returned
the glitch clusters that were added during the CNS takeover have gone
yeah Vaiiya grid felt further than before..
aren't those cluster for teasing purpose? CNS S6?
or it's forever here because "Override Complete"
Hope so
Im with CNS all the way just cuz of their choice in art and style
Propaganda got to me man
Lol
just posting those here in case I forgot, sometimes, those voice lines can be hinting something, there's special voice lines for map and in game weather.
this line by June feels kinda weird to me,
we have track and field in Fortune stadium (backside of Engimo building) do we need to do something there while low gravity activate?
š¤
What about the season 1 battlepass cards, do they have any importance?
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
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse_(blackjack)
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 Iām repeating old information, havenāt been able to keep up with you all š
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
https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/ntrev-2014-0003/html
This is just an observation I made, so might as well share the ātheoryā I have
Why not Jack + Black Knight? 
welcome welcome 
āRinconete y Cortadilloā written by the same author of āDon Quixoteā mentions blackjack
Rob commented in a thread saying āOSPUZE is LiFEā
Do you think that was just a comment or was it an actual hint to something
Cause he mustāve intentionally put a lowercase āiā
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

the message Rob replied to was about him uninstalling if he didn't reach gold in S6

Bank it? 3 teams of 3ppl?

Fuck it, El Dorado
No way are we getting a medieval map?!

Pelasgians
- Natives of the aegean/predacesors of greeks
- Herodotus has also written about them
The name Pelasgians (Ancient Greek: ΠελαĻγοί, romanized: PelasgoĆ, singular: ΠελαĻγĻĻ 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 ...

does someone investigated this video?
you cant make the little carriable lights in the practice range fall over no matter how you drop them. could they be used to light something up
a set of 3ās, tri, numbers, what do they meanš
set of 3
repetition
numbers
numerals
9
27
3 3 times
triple
triplet
last time rob said he never leak is when people asked him about roses right?
he says it very often whenever leaks are mentioned
huh, triplet?
donāt think weāve explored that way before
I came across triplets somewhere
I think robert dunsmure had three kids�
he did add an ellipsis, so its a never ending sequence of 3s never mind that not an ellipsis
3, 3, 3 is the password page
That's at least one connection
Thank you! I was feeling cute
new cosmetic reflection or the same old building?
looks like some bushes or trees and a lot of windows, like on Seoul, but i cant remember where such opening there. also some sort of a bench in front of view
the ..? is interesting too
North, South, East maybe? Then where is West??
333 = Ć
Seoul has the terrace and support beams around here, almost bunny pov
But the potted plants there and roof terrace type kinda reminds of of terazza in bernal, blue dot
anyone notice the weird collection of symbols inbetween the current and past WT event. looks kinda CNS ish to me. but i dont see anything like that anywhere else
I wonder if it ties in witht he "111" multico document clue we got
I interpreted that as cns loosing connection since the glitch appears kinda broken in the middle and scotty saying the situation's beeen dealt with
Dunno if you guys notice, we actually have lighting rod in this game but they are actually reversed (upside down)
June during orbital laser said this Struck by lighting is sooo old school....
I wonder something will happen..
This would also imply the existence of a 2,2,2 š¤
if so, and there's also a,a,a - b,b,b - and c,c,c I'm gonna scream haha
Picture just for the log book if no one has one yet
I really want to belive that once we figure out the logic behind one of the passwords, at least the first tier of each will be solved within weeks with us going "oooooooooooooooooh that makes sense"
š„²
that's what I'm banking on too. I'm kinda just waiting on Raid to solve one so we can at least understand what the heck we are aiming at.
Kinda mad some of the #1226677330689261631 haven't been it, a lot of them there would work great
Could it be just a representation of CNS takeover, since they weren't an official sponsor?
i see signifing that they were there that lil bit, that makes sense
Maybe worth bringing up the S5 trailer having gold in it too, so this is recurring
Towards the top of what looks like a head, a bit to the right, I think it's written CNS
That is definitely meant for the CNS world tour event, and I am pretty sure that says CNS there too
111 = cns/slies?
222 = cetacea?
333 = asconce?
soā¦

Anything specific you're looking for I can help out with since I'm here?

yeah. just read that too. But Nova already got us 
It might not be a typo. F and S are 2 keys distant of each other. Dponor would be a more likely Typo instead of Fponsor
