# white patrol > `900 000:1` > `MK.VI`

900 0001 (if we ignore the :)
xxx-xxxx is a postol code format for japan, 900-0001 as postal code leads us to a place called Minatomachi in Naha city, Naha city is also the Capital of Okinawa prefecture.

Minatomachi -> Minato Machi:
Minato: harbor
Machi: town

Minatomachi as the name suggest seems like a harbor town, geographical location connects to Japanese ocean then pacific ocean.

Trail: Nuclear button -> 900 0001 -> A harbor in Japan, Okinawa
Is there a connection between Okinawa and nuke? yes:
The Battle of Okinawa: one of major battle in WW2 also the last battle in Pacific WW2, also speculated as a major reason for US to utilize nuclear weapons, it's the last battle because after that, US decided to drop two atomic bomb(fat man & little boy, this is pretty well known history so I won't explain further) to end the war.

so we can kind of see 900 0001 as "something before nuke button are pressed?" or a relatable reference.

Just some information that connects.

mkVI is probably "Mark 6" in my guess

also wanted to note that okinawa was like an american puppet country after the war

#

It also could be referring to a hydrogen bomb not a nuclear bomb

considering the Bikini incident where a Japanese fishing boat got caught in an hydrogen bomb experiment

#

But that would not connect with the Okinawa postal code

the postal code leads to a shipping company(沖縄港運) and I thought maybe it could be about the routes or countries they ship to

Oh for sure, and stellarium is great software for these kind of purposes. It would work best if you would be able to upload a 360 degree image and cut out the sky. Then matching that with lat and lon data will show you exactly what is visible when. If they made an actual accurate sky I could use a technique called plate solving to match parts of the sky.

#

But tbh, I just think they use a static image to show stars, no?

Zilk sent this:#easter-eggs message, that picked my interests.
Here is what I found.

Commodore 64

Commodore 64 is the best selling computer from that era, it's sound and graphic is pretty up the top with affordable price and huge game library. C64's First Appearance is at Year 1982 which is also the year credit screen shown Image 4, In Las Vegas (our S1 map).
After a bit digging I found out C64 is actually a culture phenomenon in Computer gaming, it's price is affordable, people can share games with cassette tapes and disks, it's popularity is also a huge reason for people start picking up programming, I feel like there's a lot to be dig here so I kept digging.

Image 2 Commodore 64 & Image 3 Our In-game sponsor CRMP have similar logo design, both looks like C<, there's also a cassette tape charm in Tape time Set which is a set dedicated only to CRMP (A lot our cosmetics contain more than one sponsor, it's rare to see CRMP stands on it's own since it seems to be a small brand), (Cassette tape being one of main way for people to share game and stuff, so the set/CRMP could be a reference to C64)

Since I'm looking for retro stuff and gaming, Ofc I'm checking the game library in Commodore 64 and this is what I found:

The Argon Factor

The Argon Factor is one of the games in C64,it is a space adventure game as far as I can tell, I will fill the plot later.

People already know there's a argon casino in Las Vegas (where C64 first introduced to public) Image 4
But there's more

The main character visits a planet called Argon and the planet is surrounded with gaseous mist and force fields .
Image 5 is Argon's force field & Argon Casino's "planet- alike" LED sign side to side comparison, the small light dots' arrangement on the casino sign is similar to Argon planet's force field.
The design of the Argon Casino sign looks like a planet, even their slot machines are called "Cosmo Coins" indicating something that belongs to the space.

# white patrol Since I'm looking for retro stuff and gaming, Ofc I'm checking the game library ...

The Argon planet and SYS$Horizon

As we know there's a hidden room in SYS$Horizon.

Rob's quote:

Rob: So on this map (SYS$Horizon), there is a small little hidden room that you can go down and hide in
The clue for the room is:
Rob: I would say almost impossible. I can also say science is fun if you know its secrets. That's actually a really good clue for that room.

It was a quote from Monkey island, the main character said this when when he was making a compass.
Compass's needle will always points north, the reason behind it is:
Unlike poles of a magnet attract each other, the north pole of the magnetic needle is attracted towards the south pole of the earth's magnetic field

The science behind a compass always points north is due to Earth’s magnetic field, which look similarly to the force field surrounding the planet Argon. Image 3 illustrates Earth’s magnetic field—closely resembling Argon’s force field—and shares a similar shape with the structure observed on SYS$Horizon (Image 2).

So now Planet argon and syshorizon secret room maybe connected through magnetic field.
What now?

# white patrol > **The Argon planet and SYS$Horizon** As we know there's a hidden room in SYS$...

Lore pieces from The Argon Factory (Argon planet)

These are screen shots from The Argon Factory play through, the main character already landed on the Argon planet and started his adventure.

Quote: Image 1

"BENEATH YOUR SHIP on the planet Argon."
Your ship is perched on a rocky crag.
A small track looms eastward into the darkness.
Lap calls:
"The warp drive is damaged, Captain. We need microchip 2984."

This may be something we can find in SYS$Horizon, I have no idea yet, but maybe it can be found.

Quote: Image 2

ON A HIGH PLATEAU east of your ship. Whisps of red mist settle on the craggy slopes.
In the rock a few feet below is a small opening.

Keyword: East, Red mist, Small opening.

In SYS$Horizon, there's a weather setting called "Foggy Night." As the name suggests, it brings heavy fog, but only on the EAST side of the map (based on the in-game compass UI). There, the fog takes on a reddish hue due to the "sunset," casting a red mist across the entire area. This mirrors the story in The Argon Factory— "east of your ship. Whisps of red mist."

The rest of the quote is: In the rock a few feet below is a small opening.
Feet below, a small opening which suggest the "secret room's" whereabouts, according to rob: there is a small little hidden room that* you can go down and hide in***

Then the story also tells you what's under the small opening:

Quote: image 4&5

AT A SMALL HOLE IN THE ROCK. A flash of
light reveals a tunnel to the south. A
ABOVE IS A TRACK.

IN A DARK TUNNEL. The walls are covered
in slime and pointed stalactites hang
from above. A flash of light reveals an
opening to the west.
You dislodge a few rocks. They fall
and block your retreat!

... just might be things the secret room can hide and of course, it's going to be The Finals related, not entirely from the game.

Isn’t the “slime wall” we can see on night modifiers in the south?

# white patrol the green stuff?

Yea. To me it’s always looked like slime. Even had my first guesses being Ghost Busters related because of the ghost Slimer haha

white patrol

#

That quote you made from the game “the walls are covered with slime” would make sense with that

#

“Flash of light reveals a tunnel to the south.” Orbital lasers are a “flash of light” and we’ve seen Rob playing with those in stream before on SYS. “To the south” I think that slime wall is south. I gotta get in the game to know for sure, but can’t yet.

Saboteur!(1985) & Kyoto Disk EE(The Finals)

As we all know there's disks, more accurately- floppy disks found in the map Kyoto, you can find it by breaking trees of Kyoto.

After a bit digging through commodore 64, I found another nod/connection which can very possibly be why there's a disk EE in Kyoto, there's a game called Saboteur! back in 1985, commodore 64/ZX Spectrum...Popular platforms that era seems all are able to play this game.

In-game cosmetic bundle: The Saboteur

There's a Ninja outfit came out back in S3 called The Saboteur, it just a full Ninja set, everything Ninja related, since it's S3 (A season with Medieval Japan theme) so it is not weird at all, Engimo recolored that skin as sponsor reward in S6, here is the thing.

Keyword: Floppy Disk (Disk EE in Kyoto), Medieval Japan (S3 Theme),** Ninja** (The Saboteur outfit)

Saboteur!(1985)

**Saboteur! **is a stealth action-adventure game created by Clive Townsend and published by Durell Software in 1985 for several 8-bit home computer formats, Popular home computer like Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum(The one rob took picture) all can play this game.

Popularity:
Saboteur! is a pretty welcome game back in the time, here's quote from wiki (so it's not like some random game just because of it's from C64):

CRASH noted the sound, and the range of movements available, and concluded it is "one of the better releases on the Spectrum this year". C+VG said it was "a winner". The game was also voted number 55 in the Your Sinclair Official Top 100 Games of All Time.

Now here's the Interesting part:

The Lore/Gameplay
The player is set in the role of an anonymous ninja, tasked with getting into a warehouse to steal a floppy disk which has the names of rebel leaders on it.

The connection is pretty obvious: Ninja (outfit), Outfit (The Saboteur), Kyoto has floppy disks hidden within the map, both medieval Japan themed...
Not sure if there's other connection tho.

white patrol
crisp eagle
#

That could be another connection to it. So far the general thought was Monkey Island. In the game, there's a part where Guybrush comes across a stump with a hole in it. If you try to interact with it, the game tells you that you need to insert Disk 22 first, along with I think 3 others. I can't remember the other numbers right now.

#

Could be a good old fashioned double meaning, and that's why Rob chose specifically Kyoto to put that EE in

Otherwise it seems like some interesting research!!

#

(but don't worry it's no big deal hug_friend )

white patrol
#

I kinda get it why Rob is into EE now, also what at least a part of The Finals is about:

See someone from embark (maybe Rob?) or someone from community referencing a quote from embark said this:
The Finals is like a love letter for gaming industry, I actually kinda see why it is the case now.

All the retro themed, old timing reference and so on... is love for Video game from the past, where the gaming industry started,
Idk when is Rob's birthday (which year it was), have he ever experienced that era but seeing all these references I can tell he is definitely not a gen Z (no sh*t)

The Old games from Commodore 64 and such, those retro games were simple and fun,
They rely heavily on Story telling, puzzle solving maybe sometimes a hidden level or two, If I was interested in Gaming in that era, I will 100% into EE (because how easily accessible it is)

As a Gen Z, I didn’t really have easy access to the Easter egg (EE) community or even know it was a thing. Nowadays, games are so intense—whether it’s AAA titles or fast-paced PVP—that they take up all your attention. Most people don’t even realize Easter eggs exist anymore, at least not like they used to. These days, EEs are mostly just teasers for new heroes or collabs like "Nicki Minaj is coming," making it feel like their only purpose is to hype up future content and get people to spend money. But The Finals brought back meaningful Easter eggs, and I had a blast discovering things from before I was even born.

I feel like if rob grew up in puzzle solving games, and hidden levels etc, no wonder he likes to design EE and no wonder The Finals has a soul.

# blazing nexus at this point its kind of confirmed for it to be cns themed, lots of small hints...

What I mean is
you see we have Las Vegas in S1 then it is map related theme, every time the seasonal theme (Battle pass) is basically directly from map, eg: S5 Mexico.
the next map will be based on IRL location, so there's no another SYS$ (Kinda sad), if there's no another SYS$ I doubt there will be CNS themed BP/Season, all of that you said suggest they are coming back (but maybe not in Seasonal theme, maybe just another WT hack or something like that.)

I really do hope they are coming back as a seasonal theme :((

Rob's answer in the reddit ama on how we should piece clues together

sheesh, i`ve missed a lot today

crisp eagle
#

Here's a thought. So looking back at Level 1 and 2, there might be a pattern that explains our "1, 2, 3" clues. Level 1 he seemed to be very direct and point to one thing at a time for each "tier." He just pointed us to the answer itself. Then Level 2 opened up and he seemed to give hints that would ultimately point to 2 things we needed to combine for each password. Example being "lxxix" he pointed us to the number 79 and Rome. So now maybe "1, 2, 3" is mainly trying to tell us there are three things we need to combine this time.

I'm not sure if you're into EE hunting but here you go

**First you can check out @rugged breach 's thread: https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1336838311305810130 **

Toxena made this lovely thread for new hunters to see what EEs we have in hand

Some small addition to rules that are not written:

  • Try not to create threads, we already have too many threads, no more threads is like a common thing we agreed upon
  • We have threads for specific things to keep the main EE channel (which is this) clean
    • If you want to** look for group** and go for a EE hunt in-game, ask in #1217498821563514951
    • If you just want to chat around about other things and get to know EE community, chat in #1201288968562552863
    • Try not send unrelated information in #1204475718747029535, even it is sort of abandoned, it is still a thread dedicated for Rob (our dear EE dev), and everyone's notification is on for that thread
  • I suggest Not use 👀 as reaction, because it is used by Rob to react to correct theories
  • Do not @ any devs, they might not come here often (we are on a hard level now so Rob rarely show up), but never @ them in any circumstanceshug_friend

That's all, no worries! good luck catching up!hug_friend

@white patrol would you now how at any point ready player one comes into this? I have a friend who theorized some connections.

If you look at the similarities between THE FINALS and Ready Player one, there are a surprising amount:

-The games are set in a future VR universe, which isnt saying much, but take this into consideration as you read the rest..
-Contestants explode into coins when eliminated, much like is seen in the movie RPO
-The sheer amount of EE's is enough to compare it to RPO
-there is a consistent reference to retro games, such as space invader, as in both games are set far into the future with some of the most advanced game tech, yet people love to reminisce on the golden retro era of gaming, both in TF and RPO
-There is one top figure responsible for all this, and then the parties around them. In RPO we have James halliday and the other companies and in TF we have Rob and the in-game sponsors
-Another very detailed reference is in RPO, Parzival is given a one of a kind Respawn coin, allowing him to jump back in, sound familiar to any respawn coins we have in TF?
-not sure if this one even counts but in RPO players can customize their looks to just about anynthing, and frankly ive never seen a game with as many funny and flairing skins as TF

white patrol
# heavy raft <@1337987981793034281> would you now how at any point ready player one comes in...

Never seen that movie but I've seen clips of it, seems like a movie dedicated to gaming industry so no wonder that is the common thing between two of them, and I do believe TF can take inspiration from that movie (respawn coin), since they are sort of on the same page, but the thing is if you put two people who specialized in math to solve a question, they will ofc say thing from mathematical perspective and the result will be similar, it's just part of TF and RPO takes same interest in a certain area, that does not mean they are definitely connected

there might be a nod EE for RPO (reference EE) but the main plot of TF is far deeper than just gaming

Robber Barons & The Finals

This is a investigation continued on RHB's eyed theory: #easter-eggs message (Here is the link if you haven't check it out)

Robber Barons
Robber baron is a term first applied by 19th century muckrakers and others as social criticism to certain wealthy, powerful, and unethical 19th-century American businessmen. Just Imagine them as shady business men who only thinks about money, and they rob you with a lot technique:

By the late 19th century, the term was typically applied to businessmen who used exploitative practices to amass their wealth. Those practices included unfettered consumption and destruction of natural resources, influencing high levels of government, wage slavery, squashing competition by acquiring their competitors, and to create monopolies and/or trusts that control the market.

Some of them plays a important role on Wall Street's development

Age of the robber barons and role of strong, dominant figures in the development of Wall Street, including Gould, Rockefeller, Pierpont Morgan, and Jacob Schiff. Further development of the markets, increasing in size and activity, and the development of securities houses and investment banks.

So just basically money hungry businessmen, that control wealth and power also have the ability to control market.
What's next? why does this have anything todo with our sponsors/multico?

white patrol
# white patrol > **Robber Barons & The Finals** This is a investigation continued on RHB's eye...

MultiCo/Sponsor & Robber Baron

We can all sort of see MultiCo being a huge Corporation controlling resources and such, but the connection doesn't end there:
In game we have sponsor: Dissun, I-Seult, Vaiiya, etc. etc.
They all do their part to feed in this giant entity: MultiCo, I haven't decide what exactly MultiCo is, but I have a pretty solid idea where our sponsor came from.

Dissun: Energy | I- Seult: Clothing | Vaiiya: Security, they all have their specialty, all belongs to MultiCo, this is very similar to Robber Barons IRL
Andrew Carnegie: The Steel Robber Baron
John D. Rockefeller: The Oil Robber Baron
J.P. Morgan: The Financier Robber Baron
Etc.

They are all Robber Barons with different specialty, do they control wealth together? do they have partnership, these are yet to investigate and that's for another time.
But here is what interesting:

NamaTama

This silly egg mascot magnifyegg we all love has been brutally killed, destroyed, exploded in to pieces in trailers, seemingly no reason at all but there is a reason for that.

I screen shot every NamaTama scene in every trailer from Close Alpha to S6, here is what I discovered.
Nama's death and wealth (coins, cashout, etc.) always one after another.

In Open Alpha, Nama** did not die** and right after wards the cashout station is grey (no cashbox, no lighting).
In Close Beta, Nama died inside of a cashout station, then the cashout process begins after Nama's yolk went everywhere.
In Open Beta, Nama dead by exopods itself, then a **activating bank station flies out .
In S1, Nama died because
it exploded without a reason **when CNS trying to Hijack the station, right after coin explodes.
In S2, CNS completely hacked The Finals, Nama was about to die (after revenge_friend ) when Scotty was trying to take over the control, but CNS stopped scotty, Nama got saved, no death no money/coins, etc (it seems really happy).
In S3, The Finals AI rebooted, Nama didn't die, so no money.
In S4, Nama didn't show up, considering AI just rebooted.
In S5, after a rewind effect (from S5 clip all the way back to close alpha/beta), a Nama without yolk leak showed up, and start duplicating gold blobs after Scotty X-rayed Nama and said "to the next stage, here we gooo" we can clearly see here, the smaller gold blob transforms to coins, the yolk inside Nama Tama is gold/gold coins, and ofc, it died, right after the duplication, a cashbox popped up.
In S6 Nama got charged by Moolah and just died instantly, right after a Moolah outfit contestant turns another one into coins.

white patrol
# white patrol > **NamaTama** This silly egg mascot <:magnifyegg:1111293374897590292> we all l...

So-
If Nama dies = Money
Then Scotty (MultiCo/ Sponsor) seems have the power to kill it to gain gold over and over again.
Squash to death, Charged by Moolah, X-ray duplication, let it explode itself -- Nama been through it all with a smiley face.

If Sponsors/MultiCo is based on Robber Barons.
Nama = Gold, get maneuvered around by MultiCo, seems happy even facing death

Then that is Market Manipulation.
Control when to have gold (Money), how to have it, they can even duplicate it, sounds a lot like what Robber Barons do-

Now we know Nama's yolk is gold, Nama itself can be interpreted as market or resources, then what is moolah?

S6 Level 64 outfit: Stampeder
Caption: From pasture to the playoffs, nothing stands in the way of a full-speed charge

Moolah is a milk cow, why does it charge, it even destroyed Nama by charging in S6 trailer, it is because:

Moolah is based on Charging bull- A Statue from Wall street.

Charging Bull: Charging Bull (sometimes referred to as the Bull of Wall Street or the Bowling Green Bull) is a bronze sculpture that stands on Broadway just north of Bowling Green in the Financial District of Manhattan in New York City.

And ofc, Moolah is "working" for MultiCo/Sponsors, as I introduced earlier, some of the robber barons have great impact on development of wall street, with that wealth, stock (Moolah/Charging bull) manipulation is fairly easy, the reason why Moolah is under MultiCo/ Wall street at that time under Robber baron, is pretty clear.

Now, CNS, a group against MultiCo (Robber Barons), trying to take back what is theirs (Nama= Money/Market/Resource), it's pretty clear to me, a group of people would do such a thing- put them in IRL position, they would be Labor Union or Worker Union, "taking back what is ours" sometimes are used by Workers/Labors complaining about unfair wage gap,
**The gap between the rich and the poor. **

(Moolah outfit is even doing the Bull's posture.)

can't post images, but the deep current background from the s6 battlepass (fish page) has some sort of a skull/fish with gaping mouth on it if you adjust levels

i'm not sure what's the significance of the fish page in general, but after watching severance it almost feels like a reference to the show as the main character has two fish tanks with blue and red/orange betta fish that are features against the same colored background as the fin first tee t-shirt, the show also has blue as the color (same as the t-shirt) of the department where the main character works

probably a bit of a stretch though as those episodes of the show came out in february, and it's not out of ordinary to pair fish with the blue color 🤷‍♂️

@lethal wedge thinks he discovered something in our S6 BP:

Image 1 [Lvl74 | Deep Current] He suggest there's a Skull/Mouth.
Image 2-5 [Lvl 73-80] He suggest there might be a reference/connect to show called [Severance Image 6]

The Context of the show: "the show is about people being severed, their consciousness being split into their regular self and their work self."

@lethal wedge said: "the screenshots with the fish are from season 2, episode 4
also, what I meant by the color blue from the show looking very similar to the one on the t-shirt" Image 7

Additions from him:
*The Show stuff is probably just a coincidence, although I don't know why battlepass of a season about sports has fish in it. *
for the reference the show is about people being severed, their consciousness being split into their regular self and their work self.
so it's not about virtual reality, but the themes and aesthetics are somewhat similar.

I just can't wrap my head around the fish in the battlepass, it could be about fishing or swimming, both can be related to sports
this whole page doesn't feel like it's about sports at all.

also, the fish could be referenced just for the fact that bettas are aggressive, they're called siamese fighting fish, I guess that's why the charm has boxing gloves on?
in the show the two tanks have male bettas housed in separate tanks as they're not recommended to be housed together for aggression reasons
so maybe all the fish is just a reference to fighting/boxing

# white patrol So- If **Nama dies = Money** Then Scotty (MultiCo/ Sponsor) seems have the power...

if you put CNS into the character of worker/labor who complains/against about the low wage, this becomes kinda interesting
you see if worker complains low wage/pay, they usually just their company/factory isn't paying them what they deserve, or not giving them what they want.
CNS kinda fits there really well.

Let me explain:
CNS from a lore perspective is a group knows The Finals inside out, Hijacks it in S1, took over The Finals in S2
June and scotty being impressed they can get around Volpe's technology and Vaiiya's security
CNS can add gargets/specs into games even bringing us new game mode, even have their own "Gamemode Trainer" for the finals.

If CNS = Labor/Worker Union, MultiCo = Robber Barons (The big entity that is hungry and greedy.)
Sounds like a group of worker left their company and started their revenge.
Someone who knows it's Inside out, Knows who is lying (S.Lies), knows Volpe's tech and Vaiiya's security, the image become clearer.

Keep their perspective in mind because there might be bigger connections.
Anyone can tell CNS is talented, hacks in and out, bringing fun into the game, have a genuine** love for games** and gaming industry (eg: mode-bringing powershift, TDM | skins- bringing retro style 8.bit cosmetics, retro game machines etc.) even their map have brand new texture for everything (I do not need to explain how beautiful SYS$ is.)

Contrary to CNS's work, MultiCo seems like repetitive slop: they have no actual creativity, (We all know the map rotation per season being: real life, fantasy, real life, fantasy..)
MultiCo's map every time when it comes to fantasy, it just copy and paste from older maps. [We can see Seoul in Fortune stadium, We can definitely see Las Vegas in Las Vegas Stadium 😅 ]
(No hate for embark, these are all their work after all, they make this "contrast" between CNS map and "MultiCo slop" yet players still can have fun and be grateful is absolutely genius)

white patrol
# white patrol if you put **CNS** into the **character of worker/labor** who complains/against ...

Now we know:
CNS: Labor/Worker/the one who actually make the stuff for consumers, have creativity and love for what they make, left the original place and started their revengerevenge_friend (Revenge_friend Nama only showed up in CNS trailer & the Close Alpha trailer which is first trailer in The Finals and it didn't die)
MultiCo: Robber Barons/Money hungry entity, no creativity, only repetitive slop, do stuff just to make money.

When we are talking about labor union and robber barons, it's not really all about money** if you put this relationship into gaming industry**:
Devs(Workers) not getting what they want, for their love in the industry, for their love in players/consumers...
How. Many. Times. Did you hear:

"Don't attack the devs, it's not their decision!"
"We didn't decide this.."
"XX game cuts off the talented devs after game is finished"
"Why do they ignore player's want and needs??"
...

Robber barons and Labor Union is a perfect reflection of conflict in Today's Gaming industry between Players & Devs VS Corporates who just want to make games to make money.

Now, if we** put Embark into CNS's position** (which has been a speculation for a long time.)

  • No FOMO (Shady practice like Robber Baron)
  • Giving players what they want (Unlike big cooperate who don't gives 2 fxxks) in the name of CNS
  • Generously giving out Premium Currency (BP, Seasonal E-mail, Free cosmetics in sponsor system [They all banger skin too], MB from WT...)
    ...

Love from the bottom of the heart: #easter-eggs message

Embark is CNS to some degree, the representative of repressed devs, leaving their original place (DICE, now EA DICE) start their own revenge/journey, MultiCo is the gaming industry today also can be EA DICE: greedy, filthy, the giant octopus that consumes everything--- the robber barons.

Now let's connect the dots

From CNS/Embark .. With Love.

CNS brings retro styles in to the arena, Maps, cosmetics, etc, iirc** only CNS** has "Retro themed" cosmetics, because at that time, gaming brings purest fun, it is love for games/gaming from the old times (No corporate slop), there's no other "retro style" cosmetics, all the retro skins are given during S2 (CNS theme), or during CNS hacking events...
You know where else you can see Retro style in The Finals? one and only place: Embark credit screen:

Image 3 and 4

In Embark's credit screen, you can see there's a year: 1982, which is the year Commodore 64 was born, the machine heavily promoted games and programing due to it's cheap price, huge game library and a lot of specialty, people can share games, play together, learn to program, it was a cultural phenomenon, it was game in purest form, it was love.

So ofc, Embark hides a lot reference to old time in EEs, 3HM being one of them.

Contrary to CNS/Embark, MultiCo's attitude towards Retro stuff is just "meh" because they don't have love nor soul, all they care is money.

Eg:
During In game event: Retro Invasion,
June's attitude towards this game show is contrary to other game shows (maybe because this is what CNS left before they left MultiCo)

"erm.. I don't even know what to say anymore.."

June seemingly awkward, does not know what to say, because she probably knew it was from "CNS" before they left MultiCo (might be a strech, but in general she just don't get it why it is a event, she does not have a soul either since she works for MultiCo)

So, Conclusion:
MultiCo/Sponsors based on Robber Baron/ game industry now
CNS based on: Working Class/ Labor Union/Embark, Who actually create what we consume, who got repressed by the industry, swear to take back what is theirs.

It is a fight/conflict between meaningful things and stinking money.

Oh yeah btw, Vaiiya's job is security, Rob did say "Vaiiya is rat", if Rob/ Embark repersent CNS (He did role played it before😂 ), and CNS are hackers who can just break in like nothing, if CNS was working for MultiCo like the theory suggests, Vaiiya could very well be their department

Maybe CNS created The Finals originally and the concept was stolen by MultiCo, kind of how Battlefield is still made by EA even though the original DICE is basically at Embark now. Or how Call of Duty is still made even though Infinity Ward is gone etc… (Halo ~No Bungie) (Gears of War -no more Cliffy B)

And CNS does want their credit…

# frozen oxide Maybe CNS created The Finals originally and the concept was stolen by MultiCo, k...

every time CNS hacks The Finals they don't say "we made the game, look at us" they bring fun and love to The Finals with retro style cosmetics and fun mode/abilities, credit was never a issue, that thing is like.. idk, too small of a goal for them to make such noises?

tbh.. if I developed BF and seeing how much a slop it becomes and I can't do anything because corporation/ robber barons, I would leave and make my own studio too, it just heart breaking, I don't even want to see my name on that kind of slop

**First you can check out @rugged breach 's thread: https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1336838311305810130 **

Toxena made this lovely thread for new hunters to see what EEs we have in hand

**If you want to know rules and how is EE hunt structured and many details from officials: **

If you want to catch up by watching videos

I recommend @pure loom's EE video list (Binge watch):

#

#egg-hunt-onboarding contain a lot of rules, so I suggest read that first!

Some small addition to rules that are not written:

  • Try not to create threads, we already have too many threads, no more threads is like a common thing we agreed upon
  • We have threads for specific things to keep the main EE channel (which is this) clean
    • If you want to** look for group** and go for a EE hunt in-game, ask in #1217498821563514951
    • If you just want to chat around about other things and get to know EE community, chat in #1201288968562552863
    • Try not send unrelated information in #1204475718747029535, even it is sort of abandoned, it is still a thread dedicated for Rob (our dear EE dev), and everyone's notification is on for that thread
  • I suggest Not use 👀 as reaction, because it is used by Rob to react to correct theories
  • Do not @ any devs, they might not come here often (we are on a hard level now so Rob rarely show up), but never @ them in any circumstanceshug_friend

That's all, no worries! good luck catching up! hug_friend

Going back and looking at "The Three Hares" #1204475718747029535 message

"All three of these particular examples of triple rabbits can be seen in the current (until 12 September 2004) exhibition at the British Library devoted to the Silk Road and the discoveries made along it by the archaeologist and explorer Aurel Stein"

"Stein was influenced by Sven Hedin's 1898 work Through Asia."

# white patrol I bringing back a old topic, a riddle on sys horizon we haven't solve yet, and I...

I believe these locations (same location different floor) in Sys$Horizon have a puzzle for us

I see people mentioned this before but, they seems only mentioned square, circle and triangle part, never really mentioned the statues and I found something interesting:
People speculated: triangle, circle, square are all PlayStation buttons so we are missing a X.

BUT since Sys$Horizon & CNS heavily relying on retro style:
Rainbows on cosmetics, map itself, rainbow is a icon representing proud color display technology in 80s
Vaporwave styled map (or similar), attempt to catch the art style that feels "retro" (80s-90s ish)

it still have room for debate about should it be 🔴 🟥 🔺 ❌ or not
because puzzle games from that era also uses 🔴 🟥 🔺but I say we can say we need a X for now.

Puzzle

First floor we have a hoodie man sitting inside Triangle, Facing West
Second floor we have a hand orbit by a circle, hand palm Facing East
why choose hand palm as standard because:
It's pretty instinctual, when you are in class, you raise your hand to answer a question, hand palm facing teacher, when surrender in battle, you hand palm facing enemy.. etc.
Third floor we have a half eaten apple, the face it got bitten, Facing North
Forth floor we have a Cornell box, which can interpreted as blank (or some hint for the final correct answer)

Why does direction matters?
Rob:Science is fun if you know it's secret -> monkey island reference when MC made a compass -> Direction(NESW)
Art Gallery being the ONLY building in entire map, surrounded by 4 building, the 4 buildings location is:

Campus: North
Work Space: East
Library: South
Museum: West

Art gallery (where those statues are), is the center of all buildings.
What can we do about this?

Things to note

Triangle statue is straight up rob, it's the same statue as the one in monaco and skyway (don't think he's on other maps, right?)

The patch notes from a while ago, when they changed the hp of the apple (either the half eaten one or the full one) pretty much all but confirms there's something at play as we thought

That something is almost surely not the secret room, as that was added later on as a punishment for the monkey mishap rather than having been planned since the start of t he map, whereas the statues have been there since day 1

this is what he said specifically for hidden room

I would say almost impossible. I can also say science is fun if you know its secrets. That's actually a really good clue for that room.
That's actually a really good clue means he just thought of it, this quote can be used here (the hidden room)

Given the context there I'm more inclined to believe that was a genuine quote/monkey island connection rather than something specific

Whereas that same quote is the most solid lead for the secret room

What I mean is monkey island is connected to the overall hunt as nova said, him quoting it then being another connection to it

rugged breach
#

But then when it comes to the secret room it's the specific quote itself that's the connection, rather than the wider theme of monkey island, as in the scene where le chuck makes a compass (probably lol)

#

Not sure if that makes more or less sense 🙃

white patrol
#

yes, I think you mean, if he said that quote before, maybe not specifically mean sys?

#

oh yeah i get it now

rugged breach
#

More like a different level of zoom

Him quoting monkey island at the end of T3 is more of a connection to monkey island itself, it could've been any quote but that's the one that fit in the moment

Secret room he specifically called attention to that specific quote

hmmmm true it can be a theme thing rather than specific

Could defo be looking into phrasing too deeply but he's said he's always very careful with how and what he says around ee hunters so I'm more confident in diving a bit deeper than just regular chatting

since the hand and cornel box all relates to rendering, I will not dig the history of rendering, see if there's any shapes relates to those metal once in the art gallery

#

The devs realised easter eggs r useless if people are uneducated

Also on the theme of the hand and cornell box, i think obviously the correlation is related to core computer stuff, we just have to figure out how the other 2 tie in

In alchemy, the Magnum Opus or Great Work is a term for the process of working with the prima materia to create the philosopher's stone.

oh hidden place. I couldn't fully hear him. have my headphones off. my bad lol

Ye that one feels more than a 1-2-3 hint

#

If I had to guess the hidden faq page is either in the same general area as the multico files OR on the holtow/ospuze site somewhere

#

Also him saying "gotta check if that's still working" w ould imply something he set up early on and hasn't had to check up on it in a while
