[solar sonnet]

Hell yeah

Thanks for consolidating some stuff Gleam

[devout oracle]

A pleasure

[solar sonnet]

Out of curiosity what are your thoughts on this? I'm still a bit skeptical but icl it seems a bit toooo in depth/ detailed

To be fanmade

Idk

[rose dust]

Nice to have a proper home for this haha

wonder if the architect will show up to monitor this channel too like ETARC?

[devout oracle]

https://nms-videos.boomstickjoes.com/w/afa5dd571522948bde592eb4693607d4

[low citrus]

ohhh yeahhh skyscrapper is the game's engine, i remember seeing that in renderdoc captures!

gumsk's right haha

[devout oracle]

Good point, I'll ask

https://skyscraper.havenmap.online

[solar sonnet]

FYI this is largely AI generated text. It has some good info but a lot of it seems hallucinated

[devout oracle]

All findings above are sourced from public endpoints

[rose dust]

It does misinterpret atlas-65 as being a pun for Atlas-A rather than knowing the context, but the rest seems to be compiled mostly well

[devout oracle]

Ya

[solar sonnet]

Also the whole "intended to be a year long" thing seems dubious

Not really seen any mention of that anywhere

[compact python]

Implying 365 logs = 365 days i guess.

[solar sonnet]

True. Just doesn't make sense to me since the logs aren't daily 🤔

Speaking of

We should get one today or tomorrow

[clear surge]

The twitter reposted a few seemingly random things, but a couple stood out:

• A 2d projection of a 4d tesseract (related to the front page graph thing?)
• a photo of the Acropolis, a citadel (a fortress within a city, possibly reference to " the tower inside"?)
• A post celebrating 16 years of humans on the space station

https://x.com/Skyscraper_prj

I assume the graph thing looks like different things at different angles, so presumably we're meant to identify those and put them together

[solar sonnet]

Not on the acropolis specifically but an Atlantid is a type of structural/ architectural element in ancient Greek architecture

[clear surge]

Yeah, a supporting column in the shape of a person

[solar sonnet]

Another version is a telamon 🤔

[cyan kraken]

whats with the dates

[compact python]

Cant build a skyscraper without columns 😉

[clear surge]

Or a scaffold (like the anomalous scaffold we used on Atlas)

[compact python]

They are logs

[loud forum]

Its a compilation of the entry dates

[cyan kraken]

oooh
entries on what, though

[formal harness]

Hopefully we get confirmation soon that it's official. Would be so sad if it turned out not to be

[devout oracle]

Feels fan made

[compact python]

Possibly around 16:16 london time?

[clear surge]

I did look at the variance in timestamps, they're almost consistently 3 days 11 hours 3 minutes and 30-something seconds apart. Until the last few.

[compact python]

https://project-skyscraper.com/2005/04/13/quote/

[steady niche]

Here's my clean up of the landscape . I also had the AI remove the warping from wide angle, the way it bends up on the sides

The only recognizable things are birds on the top left, the "1" sign, and the logs on the bottom right. No clue where it is or anything else.

[cyan kraken]

this the photo that's the profile picture?

[cyan kraken]

also, whats with the hexagon? i'm accessing it on my phone. it glows and vibrates when i tap in the same row as it, but then stops when i tap anywhere else

[steady niche]

The distortion was each color channel having rows of pixels shifted horizontally in different distances. I think it was red was to the left of green and blue was to the right of green

[clear surge]

That one is

• 35 years, 4 months, 13 days, 2 hours, 25 minutes and 52 seconds after the hello world event
• 20 years, 12 months, 12 days, 13 hours, 13 minutes and 25 seconds before the next event

[steady niche]

If a birder could zoom in and identify those birds, you might be able to get the location :p

I seriously doubt it's important though

[cyan kraken]

oh? where's the birds?

[clear surge]

Yeah, there's no birds visible, just bits of tree in the upper left

[lapis hare]

what is happening

what did i miss

[solar sonnet]

I know this is probably a dead end but I wonder what would happen if you applied that same transformation to that super distorted/ corrupted image?

[solar sonnet]

This one

[cyan kraken]

i think that hex is also basically showing the same type of distortion, no?

[lapis hare]

guys is this ARG official what is going on

[steady niche]

The tower image was vertically shifted pixels by color channel

[clear surge]

Could you apply the same to the "spectrogram" image?
https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fconnection-detected-access-denied-v0-8c7atk6y141h1.png

[steady niche]

I'll mess with it at home. Maybe those blocks that look like distortion become something when the color channels are shifted

[lapis hare]

i guess i wont get my answer

[steady niche]

No one knows

[clear surge]

We don't know if it's official, but someone has put a lot of work into it

[cyan kraken]

we're coping by thinking it could be a real ARG

[lapis hare]

10th anniversary ARG?

[steady niche]

Oh yeah those are leaves on the top left. I'm on a phone and thought they were birds

[cyan kraken]

btw if its an actual building in london, have any people in London tried to go to it and see?

if anything's around

[steady niche]

It's Atlas Building in London, near The Eye I think

[lapis hare]

sorry these are my leftover copium update predictions /jk

interesting though, any way i could help?

[clear surge]

Yeah, if you could figure out what it all means, that'd be great 😉

Seriously though, there are "logs" on the site, and a "sleep mode" page
https://project-skyscraper.com/2026/
https://project-skyscraper.com/sleep-mode/

[devout oracle]

jump in and start digging around

[lapis hare]

i suck at puzzles and stuff but ima try to help ig

[clear surge]

Plus a twitter and bluesky account
https://x.com/Skyscraper_prj
https://bsky.app/profile/skyscraper-prj.bsky.social

[low citrus]

port 49152 is a common port used by torrent clients

[lapis hare]

i do want to know if its official, though.... hmm...

[low citrus]

a term related to torrent is swarm

sentinel swarm?

[devout oracle]

Seems slim, there were a couple accounts involved that were banned - if it was HG they could just reach out to the sub or forums and say let them post

[lapis hare]

good luck guys maybe we will find a tiny light no fire teaser in it 👀 /jk

[low citrus]

port 9 is often used for wake on lan or the discard protocol - either woke something up, or was discarded by the server

[clear surge]

Or, they wanted them banned and later restored

[lapis hare]

oh. fanmade 99.99% then

still interested what the community cooked up

[devout oracle]

That's my thought, not ruling out HG involvement but it seems unlikely at this point

We also didn't know WTF was going on at the beginning of Waking Titan

[rose dust]

there's a twitch, too seemingly
https://m.twitch.tv/project_skyscraper/home

[lapis hare]

dont want to sound rude but, what's the point of fanmade ARG if we wont get any official lore and stuff. NOT saying a fanmade ARG is bad, just sayin its a little bit pointless?

[devout oracle]

Time to watch

[rose dust]

tbf, the main logs we have kinda make it seem like the banning is a part of the ARG itself, at least on ETARC.

[lapis hare]

was waking titan official? sorry i forgot

[devout oracle]

Yes

[cyan kraken]

how did we figure out the beginning steps of the ARG to get to this point, exactly

[lapis hare]

hmm... who knows what HG or the community is cookin up

[devout oracle]

But was that added in? It's neat either way, fan or HG

[devout oracle]

Fun

[rose dust]

the architect posted to ETARC, got autobanned, and then reinstated automatically by ETARC's system, which prompted a few raised eyebrows

[clear surge]

On May 5th at 20:17 UTC, the bluesky account reposted a picture of a blue bird on blue sky 🤔

The time corresponds to one of the security log entries 🤔

[lapis hare]

thats fair hehe. ARG'a can be fun

[cyan kraken]

that too an astronaut bird

[low citrus]

the one with the poem about birds, watching the night?

[lapis hare]

gek

[rose dust]

Yep, I agree. Even if it's not official, its a fun lil project to wrack our brains over

[devout oracle]

It wasn't automatic

[clear surge]

No, just one of the connection refused ones sadly

[low citrus]

aw

[devout oracle]

Reached out to Hg to get it unsilenced

[lapis hare]

or what if the ban was on purpose so HG wants us to think its fanmade? lol!

[devout oracle]

Sure, could be

[lapis hare]

this is interesting

my prediction for now is that its official, or a 10th anniversary fan-ARG to celebrate such milestone. either way its amazing

[devout oracle]

https://project-skyscraper.com/sec-log-211927-full/

[cyan kraken]

could the poem potentially refer to ghosts, or something else of the like?

[low citrus]

hmm yeah maybe, i was also thinking alt dimension

like beings in an alt dimension, we dont see them they can see us

[rose dust]

kinda reminds me of the premise behind the boundary horrors from the cursed in that sense

[cyan kraken]

well, the sentinels do also work like ghosts
they come and go randomly and silently
no wings, because they hover, but idk about the no shadow or trace in light part
and they kinda are everywhere

[low citrus]

yep yep, i thought of the world of glass, or whatever "dimension" they live in/come from

[cyan kraken]

also, anybody else notice that if you get a decent chunk of nodes in proximty, the whole network gets a red glow?

[low citrus]

yeah, but just that nearby ones

funny that i saw 2 live connection attempts earlier, local per connection tracker?

[clear surge]

I feel like there's something to solve in the shape, similar to the tesseract thing they reposted on bluesky

[cyan kraken]

no no, the whole thing has a red glow around it, even the ones that aren't connected. like, the soft red glow

not the nodes themselves

[rose dust]

oh right, it looks a lil janky w/ how it switches from lighting up a few to the entire network though

[low citrus]

yeah yeah

that's what i was saying

not necessarily ones connected by "lanes" or "lines"

but as if there was a gravity bubble under the cursor influencing them

[rose dust]

wonder if the number required to light em all up might be relevant? unless its randomized

[low citrus]

i tried for a bit, couldnt make any sense of it

then again, i may just need more coffee

[cyan kraken]

bubble that comes into play when you have enough nodes under influence

[rose dust]

Ah, it isnt just a fixed number. looks like it depends on the nodes themselves

[steady niche]

You don't even need to click nodes, you can click empty space. Then everything within a certain distance of wherever you click turns red

[compact python]

Or number depends on pepole entering the site

[cyan kraken]

yeah, its 8 people now

8 connected

[modest oxide]

Wait...has it been confirmed it's a fan made ARG?

[steady niche]

No

[cyan kraken]

we don't know, better be safe than sorry

[steady niche]

Gleam is very sure and he made the channel

Yeah better to say fan and change to official later than the opposite

[devout oracle]

I'm open to changing it as we get more info

[steady niche]

Yeah I'm not convinced either way yet

[compact python]

Where was the " 1,1,2... " sequence ?

[steady niche]

At least whomever it is has a decent amount of lore knowledge it seems

The leet speak replacements

[devout oracle]

Maybe it's Emily waking back up

[clear surge]

https://project-skyscraper.com/sec-log-094127-full/ corresponds to this post:

[low citrus]

probably just an api posting to both platforms

[clear surge]

And this one

[low citrus]

oh that never showed on the website

that comment

[cyan kraken]

is gothalion a NMS streamer

[clear surge]

Yeah, I agree, just wonder what info to glean from a potential "skyscraper bleed"

[low citrus]

i didnt do the first arg, who's emily?

[rose dust]

The security log itself is talking about the account being blocked by ETARC, but that also being the blocked post on Bluesky might be interesting...

[wide mist]

If you click on the ''Trace'' in one of the logs you get linked to an image with the file being called ''TR4CE'', reminds me of the way HG has spelt ''ARI4DN3'' in the Sentinel Pillars.

Not a strong connection by any means, just some number letter games which seem familiar.

[cyan kraken]

leetspeak, aye

[modest oxide]

An earlier version of what ended up being the Atlas AI, iirc.

[low citrus]

no idea; a quick search shows a "gothalion" on x who's ceo and creative director at magic find studios

[low citrus]

oh gotcha!

[steady niche]

The socials stuff has been odd, reference to a bunch of old stuff from fans, streamers, NASA, Heavy Rain

[low citrus]

heavy rain as in the game from quantic dream?

[compact python]

Bc press x to sean meme

[steady niche]

Yes gothalion is a streamer and posts on socials about NMS

[clear surge]

I was curious that the ETARC 'leader' commented that the 'the_architect' user preferred zeros with dots rather than slashes - a weird thing to say out of nowhere. Possibly a reference to theta, which can be used to represent angles.

[devout oracle]

Emily was the AI that helped us link up to the Dreamers and save as many as we could, sacrificing herself at the end to get the last one out

[cyan kraken]

can't find any games made by them, then again, studio was made in nov last year

[low citrus]

yeah, probably nothing there atm

maybe not even the same person

[steady niche]

Or might be studio as in media

https://bsky.app/profile/gothalion.bsky.social

Gothalion (@gothalion.bsky.social)

CEO/Creative Director Magic Find Studios
Twitch.tv/KingGothalion

Bluesky

[devout oracle]

Known as a streamer

[rose dust]

iirc Gothalion did post about starting up a game studio a while back, with Sean even retweeting it

[cyan kraken]

but would there be an ARG so heavily focused on one person?

[rose dust]

it isnt though?

the only "tie" we have to gothalion is a quote post. there's more linking the ARG to ETARC than to em

[solar sonnet]

Gothalion has had twitter exchanges with Sean in the past, he's big on NMS.

Heavy Rain is probably a cheeky reference (there's a memed prompt in the game which reads "press X to Sean")

[rose dust]

And even then, it doesnt seem like ETARC is the core of the ARG either

[solar sonnet]

ETARC is just the community that would notice and take it seriously first. Plus if it's Alice and Smith again, they still probably control the site iirc. So they'd be able to unban the account like what apparently happened

[compact python]

https://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/

[rose dust]

ETARC's kept running by HG afaik, not A&S

[solar sonnet]

Either way, it's on the subreddit's radar now so they might resume posting there

[wide mist]

So the reddit account was banned by reddit itself, not by admins or mods .

If it was truly HG involved, this strengthens the case for that imo, since reaching out to the staff wouldn't have affected anything then.

[rose dust]

To that end, didn't A&S shut down earlier?

[solar sonnet]

Aaah that makes sense. Still though it makes sense to start with a site you (or your customer) owns

[wide mist]

One of the retweets of the Project Skyscraper account is a picture from Greece hmm.

[compact python]

This is the img from the site.
Soo what made it denying access. I dont see any diffrences in the images.

[solar sonnet]

😂😂😂

[compact python]

Xd

[steady niche]

Yeah, I think the Acropolis in Athens

[compact python]

Content creators start to pick things up. Here goes peace and quiet.

[solar sonnet]

Might mean that we at least figure out if it's legit quicker

[steady niche]

Alice and Smith website is still up, but no new updates or social posts since 2021

[compact python]

"Omg walking titan 2.0 started " incoming

[solar sonnet]

Tbf that's the point of an ARG

Providing it's legit

It's to drum up the community

[steady niche]

Oh, they did an ARG for Vampire the Masquerade 2, so they are still active

[compact python]

I heard that captain steve is getting married . So at least he will be too busy 😂

[solar sonnet]

I heard he's still figuring out how to use a flatbed

[compact python]

Oooh cool.

[steady niche]

oh, wait, that was in 2020, so maybe now

[wide mist]

Yah, but Steve has become a bit of a clickbaiter honestly, not as bad as Prof. Cynical but still...not rly watching him anymore.

Quality content has been rather sparse, imo.

[compact python]

Thats yt reality for u.

[solar sonnet]

I guess it's part of the deal if you try and make income off a game that's insanely active once every 6 weeks or so :/

It's not a practice I like but I do sympathise to a degree

[steady niche]

Even with updates several times a year, I don't think there's enough content to drive a quality channel about only NMS

So people that do try to milk it

[modest oxide]

I am curious because Sean interacts a lot with him but I don't think I've ever known someone who watches his streams. I've also watched a lot of NMS streamers over the years and never came across any of his streams and haven't seen him around in any of the NMS communities.

[steady niche]

I sometimes use gothalian during twitch drops

[wide mist]

Yep, and I'd wager someone like Kanaju actually earns a lot more clicks than Steve overall despite uploading far less.

[solar sonnet]

I think Kanaju and Jason have the right approach tbh

Jason makes a lot of guides and uploads streams etc so it's not just clickbaiting fake leaks and stuff

Even if it's just aimed at beginners etc

[wide mist]

That's the interesting part that he seems to have the closest connection to Sean, but tbf he was also one of the first NMS content creators I stumbled upon

They clearly also watch Kanaju though, as some of his art has been used in the new space stations.

[solar sonnet]

I think they chose gothalion because he sometimes has twitter banter with Sean

If it ends up anything like WT, we'll probably see other creators get bought into it somehow

[wide mist]

Hmm I might need to actually set up a twitter account just for this

But gonna wait until we can more clearly determine whether it's something official or not

[solar sonnet]

This is what I hope the content creator attention might help with

[steady niche]

They seem to be hitting bsky with this as well, so you shouldn't need xitter

[modest oxide]

Assuming this is related to HG, which is not a given at all right now. If Gleam thinks it's a fan project I'll trust him unless and until proven otherwise. But if it this is connected to HG they might have chosen Gothalion because they can trust him to stick around even if he's not very known in NMS communities. For Waking Titan one of the content creators they most focused on was Cobra TV at the time but the dude was a total numbers chaser and a year or two later he completely quit NMS and naffed off to Star Citizen...eventually he also largely gave up on YouTube...he uploaded less than a dozen videos over the past 12 months now and mostly Star Citizen and gets no views. I legit think he'd be doing a lot better if he stuck to NMS.

[clear surge]

The site has deep-linked to posts on ETARC and the NMS Reddit, so whether official or fan-made, it's certainly NMS-related

[rose dust]

The posts are slightly different between the two, but people should still be able to pitch in using either platform

[wide mist]

Ig it‘d also be worth it to follow Sean/HG but he‘s mostly active on X no?

[rose dust]

The emojiposting usually happens first on twitter, but does follow through to Bsky

[modest oxide]

Yeah. Or at least posts first on X but he also posts more on X.

[rose dust]

Also reading through the logs again, its interesting that the post to ETARC is called an unintended external transmission. So the system seemingly messed up by posting an internal log onto ETARC (related to denying an external connection) and is confused as to why ETARC reinstated the post?

[modest oxide]

And I mean...Sean has 10k followers on bluesky vs 1.1 Million on X...sooo....yeah...

[raw chasm]

What is this channel about?

[rose dust]

Recently uncovered ARG. Unknown at the time whether it's official or fan-made.

[modest oxide]

A potential new ARG...we don't know if Hello Games are behind it...possibly not.

[raw chasm]

Interesting

So a puzzle for the community?

[modest oxide]

I guess? Although the puzzles haven't been puzzling lately...a lot of cryptic and vague stuff but hasn't amounted to anything interesting yet.

[steady niche]

I interpreted it as the internal rogue actor posting there without permission, the same one that tried to do the WoL

[rose dust]

Ohh that's a great point, its possible whatever sent the WoL packet is now trying to get us to breach the system since its own connection attempts are failing.

[raw chasm]

What's the current progress?

[rose dust]

Id've said that the logs kinda read like Telamon, but that dialogue is written to be very blunt and terminal like anyway

[solar sonnet]

The big thing that imo points to it maybe being legit is that the forum's bot blocked the account but the website restored it

That's not something you'd see happening if it was fanmade, unless it's some sort of weird fluke error

[rose dust]

If it was unintentional, they wrote it in to the plot pretty nicely.

[solar sonnet]

Either way, this going down on a site HG owns is definitely eyebrow raising

Unless an admin is very, very bored lol

[turbid sinew]

what is project skyscraper?

[rose dust]

^

[steady niche]

Yeah, I'm suspicious that the admins might be lying

Anyway, I'm done for tonight and have early class, I'll ask for updates tomorrow sometime 😄

Oh one last thing, just remembered Summer Games Fest is in 2 weeks and Geoff and Sean are kind of close

[rose dust]

I think there's a screenshot of the architect's thread being flagged / unlfagged in the discussion thread. I've found the people in charge of ETARC to be pretty genuine personally.

[rose dust]

2 weeks seems odd for an HG ARG honestly. It could be an extension of something they plan to announce at SGF potentially (trailer hints maybe?) to supplement the announcement (if any), but a 2 week ARG leading up to the announcement seems strange, especially given this one's pace.

[steady niche]

I just mean more that they are lying about not understanding what is going on and they are either behind the ARG or know what's going on

Nothing malicious

[rose dust]

Ahh the original admins of the site during WT days were definitely involved with the ARG back in the day, but iirc the current moderation team were chosen from the people that signed up as citizen scientists. Still, they could definitely have been contacted by the puppetmasters to help "nudge" the whole thing along when needed.

There's another standard security log post posted a few minutes back too

https://project-skyscraper.com/2026/05/20/sec-log-132904/

New twitter post too

[quartz plinth]

new ARG??

do we know it is from HG

[solar sonnet]

Unknown as of yet but it's pretty detailed so far

[quartz plinth]

I see, what do we know so far?

[turbid sinew]

what does ARG mean?

[clear surge]

There's a site, https://project-skyscraper.com/, with a series of "log" events that seem to correspond with social media posts on X, BlueSky, Twitch and Reddit

There's a few images which have been distorted

[clear surge]

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

[modest oxide]

Alternate Reality Game...sometimes cryptic hints and puzzles that sometimes amount to clues about real world events and places and so on. This one hasn't done much yet and might not even be related to HG but just a fan project.

[compact python]

@onyx pasture can make gunter reposting here posts from skyscraper bluesky/X accounts?

[onyx pasture]

Probably not something I can set up, but I'll forward the suggestion

[solar sonnet]

Good suggestion! A lot of people don't use twitter

Plus it saves people refreshing all day lol

[modest oxide]

Probably not worth doing for the ARG unless we get confirmation Hello Games are behind it. This could very well be just fan made bait, and I think it is. Plus nothing real or interesting has happened with it either yet.

[compact python]

Imo the more pepole can look into it the faster fan made teory will be confirmed or busted

[solar sonnet]

I'm leaning towards real but yeah, more eyes= faster answers

[brazen prawn]

I'm excited to see where this goes. An ARG named after the game engine, close to the 10th anniversary is either a deviously interesting prank or very exciting news

[onyx pasture]

We added BlueSky feed to this channel so next time they post something there Gunter should repost it here.

[compact python]

Thx

[lapis hare]

i have a feeling its real

the ARG

[hard spoke]

Fan made or not it’s very very well made

[covert temple]

yeah that's what gets me

This seems to go quite deep

And there's been sus activity (from what I understand) on the atlas forums where The Architect got quickly banned and then reinstated by the system

Not by one of the community member mods

Maybe I just don't know how the forum functions, but I feel like that's an indicator they're in cahoots with HG

[compact python]

For now lets give benefit of the doubt and wait to see how it will unravel

[round agate]

excited to see how this goes

[slender jackal]

Hi, it is the first time the number of live connection attempts goes as up as 55 ?

[humble pilot]

Whats project skyscraper

[slender jackal]

Originally, it was the code name of No Man's Sky when development started, before it was announced

[sweet hornet]

So what's the point of this

[slender jackal]

And today, it's the name of the website of this ARG, even if we don't know if it's an official or a fan-made thing

[sweet hornet]

Oh OK

[humble pilot]

Whats an ARG

[slender jackal]

Alternate Reality Game

[sweet hornet]

Artificial reality game

[humble pilot]

Ohhh

[sweet hornet]

Close enough

[hard spoke]

A game where it is acted like it’s in real life kinda

[humble pilot]

Ik what alternate reality is

But thanks

[sweet hornet]

Have you heard of Searching For A World That Doesn't Exist?

They had an ARG for a sequel

Because Wifies (the creator) being Wifies is a monster and decided to give us one instead of a release date

[solar sonnet]

Looks like there's 50 people on rn

Most I've seen so far

[compact python]

Content creators spreaded the word

Anything new on this?

[covert temple]

i keep seeing a face in that

idk if i'm alone

[covert temple]

or multiple faces

[compact python]

Stronger colors maybe will help the analizing software

[hard spoke]

Anyone ever cleaned up the audio?

[compact python]

I think Not yet

[clear surge]

There seems to be some horizonal shifting going on, as well as the colour separation, but I have no idea how to clean it up

[trim smelt]

I've been playing with this for a few mins, it looked like an image stretched out. I've rotated it, compressed it and playing with levels. There could be something there, but it could also just be apophenia.

[clear surge]

I thought I'd capture a few different instances of the graph network or whatever it is.

With the tesseract and Hard Rain reposts, perhaps we're supposed to construct a 3d model of it (somehow). The gravity is probably to help work out which nodes are connected to which others (since it's a 2d representation of a 3d (or more) object).

[clear surge]

OK, a bit of poking at the script reveals that this is pointless. The number of vertices is calculated based on the date:

  const day = new Date().getDate();
  const count = Math.max(3, Math.round(day * (48 / 28)));
  for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) particles.push(new Particle());

So there will be between 3 and 53 (calculated as round(31 * 48 / 28) = 53.14 ) vertices placed randomly, and lines drawn between them based on distance.

[hard spoke]

Interesting

[cyan kraken]

whats the max number of possible vertices?

[clear surge]

The ETARC forum guys noted some CSS comments:

• === M3MORY ===
• DR1FT1NG

I also found one of the ancilliary URLs (https://project-skyscraper.com/wp-json/oembed/1.0/embed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fproject-skyscraper.com%2F) contains a secret:
src="https://project-skyscraper.com/embed/#?secret=Vt46pi9Cnf"

I don't know if that's random or something useful (it's not the wordpress password for accounts with those usernames).

[cyan kraken]

this looks like the script for one of the pages

and i guess the more pertinent question is on what date will we have the max number of vertices

[clear surge]

The 31st - it's just day of month times 48 divided by 28, so the largest day of the month provides the biggest result.

[cyan kraken]

ah, fair nuff

maybe we get something on 31st, then

[clear surge]

Found another secret: dOOr22o4bU

EDIT: Never mind, the "secret"s are randomly generated too

This one came with a URL for all the posts: https://project-skyscraper.com/author/theskyscraperarchitect/

[cyan kraken]

u003c is a term that appears a lot

[cyan kraken]

did anybody work on this one?

[clear surge]

The ETARC forum did, but they just said they extracted the words

• Access denied
• Vision
• Architect
• Connection detected

https://skyscraper.havenmap.online/

[cyan kraken]

ok nvm on the u003 stuff, thats just unicode for special characters

[clear surge]

I suspect that image is more meant as training fodder for the RBG shift and distortion - we can work out what it's meant to say, so we could (theoretically) reverse engineer the process and use it to decode the other image(s).

Like, you can see that green is shifted right of red and wraps around. Blue is shifted way to the left, and is distorted along with the green that wrapped around.

[cyan kraken]

i think the Fibonacci sequence is in play here somewhere

the 112 thing, besides just being the European distress number

funnily enough, the letters URITY, from the sec-log anomaly, adds up to 93, which adds to 12, which adds to 3

probably pulling at threads, but has 1132 come up anywhere?

[clear surge]

Not to my knowledge

Pretty much everything I've looked at so far has been meaningless noise, the only thing I've gained today is the URL for the posts that shows that the author of these entries is the architect.

I'm hoping the images have something meaningful, if we can work out how to decode them.

[agile edge]

I did some more editing with the shadowcheck-1912 image and converting it to audio. So I took the image, rotated it, isolated each red, green, blue version. Put them in an spectogram image to audio creator, and then recombined them. And then tried isolating on the 1912 frequency. This is what I got, it's still distorted but sounds closer to human speech.

[clear surge]

I tried separating the blue channel, making it a separate layer which I transformed to X=19, Y=12 then changing the mode to various things in Gimp. The "Luminance" layer mode results in an image that looks like leaves on some steps?

(using the poem as a guide, it talked about blue birds being invisible on a blue sky, so blue was the channel I removed and fiddled with)

[cyan kraken]

maybe shift the background to blue? i mean, that would be kind of closer to the poem. might be too literal, and i apologize if i'm asking stupid stuff, not done a lot of photo editing

[clear surge]

Honestly me neither, I'm throwing stuff at the wall at this point 😅

Hmm, adding blue in the background didn't change the image at all

[cyan kraken]

fair, there's like 3 types of blue in there

[clear surge]

Oh, I've just discovered - Wallace Stevens wrote a poem called "Sunday Morning". He appears on the entry dated 13th April 2005, titled "Quote", that says "Sunday Morning".
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/13261/sunday-morning

[cyan kraken]

have we figured out what poem is being quoted? or is it Sunday Morning only?

[modest oxide]

No. As far as we can tell it's just something made up for this. The image at the top seems to be of a poet but that's not something he wrote.

[vagrant stream]

yo whats project-skyscraper:)?

[modest oxide]

An ARG...looks like it's probably fan made, not actually backed by Hello Games the way Waking Titan was, but we don't know for sure. Either way, nothing interesting happened yet.

[cyan kraken]

say, anything special about the poet's last moments or grave? that line about where secrets lie, and the whole thing about how we take secrets to our grave

quite a stretch though, i feel

[opal orchid]

a new ARG?

[steady niche]

The Atlas and landscape pictures were pixel shifted in columns and rows, respectively, by different amounts on each color channel. I'm guessing for any of the distorted pictures we get, we'll need to separate by color channel then do one or both of horizontal and vertical shifting.

[steady niche]

And the date on the timestamp for that entry was actually a Wednesday

[modest oxide]

Probably fan made though, so I wouldn't get too worked about it. If we get confirmation HG are behind it then it'll be different.

[ember wyvern]

Is it confirmed whether this is fanmade or official?

[hard spoke]

Fan made or not I’m all in

[steady niche]

Someone on ETARC was able to figure out where the landscape picture was from my cleaned up image

Promenade de l'Orge Coeur d'Essonne Agglomeration

https://www.coeuressonne.fr/loisirs/tourisme/decouvrir-le-territoire/promenade-de-lorge/

[cyan kraken]

is the lake also there?

the wood sculpture also does match, to be fair

[compact python]

There are few sculptures in that location

[wide mist]

We have no idea, quite frankly.

But a lot of preperation seems to have gone into this, with even a twitch channel having been set up.

So whoever is doing it, is taking it quite seriously.

I hope it turns out to be official, it seems to be made fairly well which could be an indicator, but doesn‘t have to be.

[steady niche]

Here is the exact location of the photo, I believe.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/V7GTDQFJQHbGPeQy7?g_st=ac

[ember wyvern]

It seems relatively polished, but yeah no indicator and can't say till further info

[rose dust]

If it is just a fan, I hope we're not inadvertently working towards doxxing em 😅

[wide mist]

Well, they should have seen this coming tbh.

[rose dust]

But the French language stuff and now the Quote image being from Paris kinda makes me think this is probably just one guy.

[wide mist]

I don‘t think they would have done this while being oblivious to this happening.

So it‘s gonna be fine, me thinks.

[steady niche]

Luckily, the NMS community is more likely to buy them a pint than SWAT them

[compact python]

No steet view at the exact location 🙁

[steady niche]

I did find the sculptor's name and websites

Made in 2023

[steady niche]

Yeah I was looking for street view but can't get quite close enough. Had to use satellite

[rose dust]

No immediate public photos including the sculpture either. Seems like someone went to that spot in person?

[ember wyvern]

Anyone explored the 2005 quote post (https://project-skyscraper.com/2005/04/13/quote/) and the poem it references in title and the image (Sunday Morning by Wallace Stevens)?

[rose dust]

The source of the image is linked above by Gumsk, the actual words themselves havent been found anywhere, but some believe it to be a hint to look for the Bluesky and Twitter pages that we did find.

[ember wyvern]

I mean the image on the top right of the page of the actual poet (Wallace Stevens) and the title (Sunday Morning)

Not the larger image

I can't share an image here...

[compact python]

This could be it. Lake is out of frame to the left

[rose dust]

Image appears to be a slightly edited version of this one (https://www.granger.com/0014547-wallace-stevens-1879-1955-american-poet-image.html), but I havent seen anyone discuss the actual poem titled in relation to the page itself.

[steady niche]

I might try to read the poem later to see if I notice any clues, but it's long and a style I don't like

The photo looks like it's from 2024, maybe early 2025, before the sculpture had weathered much, still fairly pale. It's turned quite brown now.

And I'm guessing the "1" sign was a label for some sort of handout or audio tour, telling you which art piece to read or listen about. Probably an event with several sculptures and the sign was taken down after the event

[cyan kraken]

that's an interesting path

right next to the lake

trying to figure out the POV of the photo in google earth

[rose dust]

Huh, the creation date in the HTML tags for the image on the page is the same as the post date. It's just set to 0 for the Steven Wallace image though.

[steady niche]

Yeah I thought that path was funny. The photographer had to be pretty close to that red pin, maybe a little up and left. There was fisheye distortion, so it was probably a fairly wide angle lens. The water looks about 10 to 15 meters away on the left and the sculpture about 7 to 10 meters away on the right.

Photographer was at about the sculptures 10:00 position, and you can see the facing of the sculpture relative to the water in the photos that have the chateau in the background

Ah no, photographer was at about 7:00

[cyan kraken]

as far as i can tell, this could potentially be the POV of the photo. the fields in the back match the golden fields in the photo, the lake's on the left, and the little island is not visible in the photo. can't spot the sculpture on google earth, sadly

actually, maybe a little bit wider on the left side, to make up for the fish eye

[steady niche]

I don't think that's right based on the photos with the chateau in the background. I think the FoV would be rotated about -100 degrees and position in the field

The chateau is straight up on the satellite view you posted

And the trail is to the sculpture's 9:00

[cyan kraken]

ah, fair nuff

[steady niche]

I wish we had street view or similar so we could line it up

[cyan kraken]

sad part is there is a street view, but not on the path in the fields 🥲

its in the woods

[compact python]

But yeah. That is diffrent sclpture than the one under

[rose dust]

Wonder if anyone in the French NMS community would be down to check the spot out. Highly doubt its something like a live drop already but, would be neat to have a ground view.

[cyan kraken]

we can ask, honestly

[compact python]

And imo this is also diffrent . Much closer to water

[cyan kraken]

like, i've asked a person i know in the UK to go check out atlas building

they go on the weekend

[compact python]

Street view around the building didint had anything unusual

[steady niche]

Did the artist make two? I thought he only did one. The pose looks the same in both, just the extra branches on the head look different

I was wondering if they moved it at various points to different parts of the field

At least we know the water is definitely on the left 🙂 that puts the photographer somewhere in that field

[compact python]

The statues have difrent hands on the ground

[steady niche]

Ohhhhhh yeah

I'll look closer and see if they look like one is reversed maybe

[rose dust]

would be great if anyone w/ an in with the french NMS community could ask for sure

[steady niche]

It's easily reachable for anyone in Paris. If I still lived there I'd go down today

They do look different when I look closely. One has a single log for a neck and the other a bundle. And the legs might be positioned differently, but hard to tell

[rose dust]

Oh not sure if anyone pointed this out already, but the numbers in each sleep-mode-XXXXX page seem to be an excel serial number for that date

So The Architect is using two timekeeping systems?

[steady niche]

Here's another picture, if it helps

Yeah that's definitely the same one as the arg image. Photographer would have been a bit to the right of this

Which would put them about here, facing ENE, I think
https://maps.app.goo.gl/wUEt9EKMwzhV9P476?g_st=ac

Or here, facing NNE
https://maps.app.goo.gl/8tzh73ZPD9KBRa7Y7

[devout oracle]

@idle remnant is French I believe, not sure where they reside though

[cyan kraken]

but if the chateau is not in the frame, neither should that golden field area, no? its pretty much in the same direction as the chateau. plus, that little island should have been visible too

[steady niche]

It's at the edge of the field with water forward and left. The reeds need water, so straight ahead after just a few meters of grass is water

[quartz plinth]

maybe someone from the French NMS cord?

[clear surge]

Another URL I hadn't seen before: https://project-skyscraper.com/about/

One of the links had a ?page_id=1682 suffix instead of full URL, so I looked at page ID 1

[rose dust]

funnily enough, that page has a publish date of 12s after /origin

which itself was published at the unix epoch

So I guess chronologically /about takes place right after the system starts?

[clear surge]

The page IDs don't appear to be sequential, which is fascinating

1633 is https://project-skyscraper.com/tr4ce/

[rose dust]

I thought that page was just a default one that the Architect forgot to delete, but changing the time past default was odd

[clear surge]

Possibly also of note, the image on the Sunday Morning post is named IMG_0004. Might be nothing, but numbers seem to be important in this game,

[onyx dune]

Can I get a little insight on this like to know what im looking for i might be able to help

[idle remnant]

Hello everyone

I wasn’t expecting to get tagged here 😅 hi 😎

Yes, absolutely, I’m part of the moderation team for the NMS FR Discord. I’ll pass the message along and see if we can confirm the location.
We only received information about the "potential ARG" yesterday, so we’re still processing everything at the moment 👀

[compact python]

Any hidden message. As audio or visual

[onyx dune]

Alright ill search

[clear surge]

And numbers, they seem important

[idle remnant]

Message passed along 😉

[compact python]

Why i have a feeling that there is somet audio track hidden in the picture. On top right and mid right section odf the pic

[clear surge]

It's certainly something, but hard to say what. My initial thoughts was it looked like a colour histogram, but it could be audio.

Having a higher quality image should make it easier to work with, though

Speaking of histograms - looks like different colours channels have been compressed/stretched

[visual vapor]

Oi Oi @stark wave

[clear surge]

On the sleep-mode pages, the URL numbers are Excel representations of the date (days since 30th Dec 1899). The 1st April post is missing a 1. This has already been noted by the ETARC team.

The security log posts have a 6 digit number I haven't worked out the pattern of yet.

Ahh, it's the time of the post in HHMMSS

[onyx dune]

Ive got sum called the magic eye so far

I do have a question what is this whole skyscraper thing about

[compact python]

Potential arg. We dont know if its fan made or made by Hello Games so we dig to know more

[onyx dune]

As far as i know a ARG is a promotion for a game?

Like I need a short summary

I have sumthin in FFT filter btw idk if its anything useful

It looks like the anamoly kinda

Atlas*

[compact python]

If made by game developers it can lead to future big update. Last Arg was full of puzzles and was tied to ingame lore.

[onyx dune]

Ight i have a kinda thing laid out if ur interested i can dm it

[steady niche]

Different columns of pixels on different color channels are shifted vertically in different directions. It's basically a 90 degree turned version of the same thing as the landscape picture

[onyx dune]

Do yall have more images that are ready to be searched?

I have sum but idk if its of any value

[steady niche]

The only thing that hasn't been fixed is the one that looks like a possible spectrogram hidden audio. I'm guessing it needs the channels shifted some before any possible audio is recognizable

Might not be audio, though

[onyx dune]

Can I send u what I have so far for that?

Since I cant send pics in chat here

[steady niche]

Ah, put them in #nms-media

Then post a link here

[clear surge]

I had a go at that one and this is the most "meaningful" thing I've gotten from it

[steady niche]

That's the catch-all channel for new people

The big problem is that it's not the whole channel shifted, but rows or columns of pixels in each channel, I think

[onyx dune]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1023351820120231956/1506989095858077839/file_0000000012d871fd80bd0ad0d3449417.png?ex=6a104476&is=6a0ef2f6&hm=dfb522c16a2eef7250023500c7c273695b15ae93386dc60c8a1784c66c606a87&

Idk if there's anything of value there

[steady niche]

You have to look for some sort of tell for where the pixels are shifted, then only get those rows or columns. For the landscape, the easiest thing was the reeds, shifting the rows to make the reed stalks in line

[clear surge]

If my version is roughly correct, there seems to be "33" dotted around

[steady niche]

What is FFT? That looks possibly useful

[onyx dune]

a mathematical algorithm that converts a signal from its original domain (usually time or space) into a representation in the frequency domain

[compact python]

Post it

[steady niche]

It's the link above

[onyx dune]

Yall should run it through a Stegsolve if u haven't already

[onyx dune]

In the bit plane I see things that kind look like letter/numbers or a design possibly

If u look closely at them

@steady niche I have coordinates

I used a thing to decode the image after going to a -1y and got: ​Vector: OMICRON-THETA
​Coordinates: 12.03.45 S, 77.01.12 W
​Recovered Text: WARNING..SYSTEM_MALFUNCTION..PROTOCOL_12_INITIATED.. EXPECTING_INTERRUPTION..DO_NOT_REBOOT..WAITING_FOR_SYNC..

Whatever that means. OMICRON-THETA is connected to star trek

[heady holly]

I see a nuclear mushroom

The Atlas finally detonated, its 16 minutes were over.

[rose dust]

you could explain the process so that everyone else who's kinda been stuck on this for a few days could check too, yk?

[onyx dune]

Just ran it through ai to have it put to the 1-y axis then I ran it through a stegsolve and ran it back through an ai to pickup anything and piece it together

Decode the image after the stegsolve

[rose dust]

Not sure how reliable AI is at picking up anything without hallucinating from a heavily distorted image

[onyx dune]

The stegsolve didn't really help so I ran it through the ai 1000 times to pickout the best image filters, then I had those flipped on the 1-y axis and ran and it picked that stuff up

[onyx dune]

I mean its something

Ill run it through more times see if I can get anything else and a confirm

I was using Gemini ai advanced pro on the highest setting I could

[rose dust]

A misstep is also something, but not exactly helpful. AI is particularly awful at picking out things that are intentionally hidden / referenced. Hell, whoever made the infodump site used AI and it mistook Atlas-65 as being a hexadecimanl pun, and not the forum itself.

[steady niche]

I can't speak to the validity of what you found, but if it is accurate, those coordinates are in the middle of Lima, Peru

[onyx dune]

Which i have no clue if there's any correlation there but. The star trek thing makes no sense

I got sum different this time so I wouldn't pay much attention to it

This time I got. Keylog: ALPHA-Ω_G-77_ACCESS_COIL. So I wouldn't pay much attention to it

[clear surge]

It might, it's the planet where Noonien-Singh created the androids Data and Lore. But I'd like someone to replicate the results without using AI.

[onyx dune]

Understandable

[rose dust]

Ah so its making things up

[onyx dune]

Yea

So I wouldn't pay attention to it

Imma get on my pc and go deeper into this ngl

[rose dust]

The image kinda reminds me of those cryptic teasers we'd get before Desolation and the worms expedition dropped which didnt mean much and were just glitchy shots from the incoming trailer. Might be something similar if this is HG run?

[onyx dune]

I mean not using ai I saw what looked like a 9 or 6 but im running on 6 hours of sleep in the past 48 hours

[onyx dune]

Imma make a steg script later in python prolly and try running it through there

[clear surge]

I tried a few different steganography tools, but didn't find any hidden info

[onyx dune]

I also wanna say it might have to do with the 10 year anniversary update of the game being released in 2016 and they would most likely drop it on August 9th cuz thats the day the game released just speculation

[onyx dune]

Is there anything else? we have to work off of

[clear surge]

Not a lot!

[onyx dune]

Shiii

[rose dust]

Aug 12th is more likely being a wednesday. Besides, we dont even know if HG are behind this one.

[onyx dune]

Trueee

[clear surge]

A few distorted images, the Wallace Stevens angle, and some numbers

[dark marsh]

What have you come to so far? Universe Reset?

[onyx dune]

What numbers?

[clear surge]

Like 1, 1, 2 so far, plus the different date formats (Unix epoch, Excel representation)

[onyx dune]

Wasn't they're a 16?

[clear surge]

Yeah, a few instances of 16

[onyx dune]

Wasn't 16 associated with the atlas?

[clear surge]

16 sleep mode posts, the WoL port

[clear surge]

Yep, very much so

[onyx dune]

Ye I remember

I do wanna say everything I say might not make sense since im very sleep deprived

@clear surge on that stegsolve try doing a -1y axis. Imma head to sleep i think

[clear surge]

I'm (technically) at work right now, but I'll play around later

[brazen prawn]

Which security log numbers are currently known?

[clear surge]

These numbers represent the time of the security event in HHMMSS

[brazen prawn]

Thanks

[dark marsh]

Does anyone have any idea that it can

[brazen prawn]

Anyone looked into the attachment tags? https://project-skyscraper.com/attachment_tag/glitching-reality/

Att. Tag: glitching-reality

There is no entry for this request. Please try again with some different keywords.

[rose dust]

I don't think I've seen that page before. How'd you get to it?

[brazen prawn]

Digging through the JSON

[solar sonnet]

The poll API is pretty interesting

There's absolutely a lot to this thing

But I think it's a waiting game for it to wake up, currently

[brazen prawn]

Seems to be yeah

[steady niche]

I think one of two things, either wait, or we need to figure out what to do to trigger a particular security breach

As busy as I am, I would wait two days to see if anything happened on its own, then try to figure out what I need to do

[rose dust]

I think ETARC messing around and finding the site's tags triggering a breach might've been a hint that we need to poke and prod around more to get access to any sort of interactivity.

[rose dust]

Which might make discovering this tag another inciting incident?

[steady niche]

Needing to poke is a better design, but I think some on ETARC are being presumptuous with their conclusions that certain actions caused a reaction. Correlation <> causation

[brazen prawn]

I tend to agree

[rose dust]

I agree that it's a lil unclear what's causing the more interesting events to pop up, but the wording on the security log linking to the ETARC post about finding the tags did sorta read as a direct consequence of poking at it with a stick.

What's interesting is after that post, the "vector" through which we got that info (wordpress feed ID) was changed. Not sure if in response or regardless

[steady niche]

Oh, I definitely think whomever is running this is watching and reacting in some ways, but some posters were acting like they knew how to automatically trigger reactions

[brazen prawn]

Do we have a list of known slugs?

[rose dust]

There's a sitemap.xml with most of them listed. I think the only one missing is the last one?

[brazen prawn]

Hm yeah wondering about template slugs and the like

[clear surge]

"System Filtering Platform activated" sounds like an invitation to me!

https://project-skyscraper.com/sitemap-1.xml
https://project-skyscraper.com/image-sitemap-1.xml

[brazen prawn]

Is there a repo, site, or something else that is centralising finds?

[clear surge]

Not centralising, as far as I know. But I guess the ETARC forum or Reddit might be good places for it

[rose dust]

ETARC's fairly centralised into one thread. Quite a lot of posts to sift through though.

[modest oxide]

Not that I'm aware of...and there probably won't be unless it turns out to be more than just a fan project and HG are somehow backing this...but I doubt that is the case.

[brazen prawn]

Yeah, seems quite a thread to catch up on

Poking around the API more, I assume https://project-skyscraper.com/sleep-mode/ is known

[rose dust]

it won't get the same backing as an HG sponsored ARG for sure, but there'll still be interest in solving it from different parts of the community if it's a fan project.

[rose dust]

Yep, I think someone found that one when the thread started out? Seems like /sleep redirects to /sleep-mode

[brazen prawn]

Guess I best go read through the thread lol

Seems odd the page has jetpack payment modules enabled (for ecommerce)

[rose dust]

Ah I thought those were enabled by default when installing jetpack

[brazen prawn]

You used to be able to turn them off (not sure these days), seems odd not to - but maybe it's all or nothing these days

[brazen prawn]

That gives me a laugh

[clear surge]

That suggests that we're on the right track with poking the site, but need to solve more clues 🤔

[clear surge]

"coherent pattern" is an interesting phrase

[rose dust]

Aw, it doesn't consider me a threat 😛

[compact python]

Me too

[rose dust]

Wonder if we'll get a full log to accompany this one

[compact python]

Or i hide better

[clear surge]

I doubt it, it just sounds like acknowledgement and a suggestion to coordinate better 😅

[rose dust]

"Threat Contained" because it was uncoordinated? Is that an invitation to coordinate a proper attack 👀

[solar sonnet]

Yay they saw us 😂😂

[rose dust]

1034 seems like too high an IP count for how many people are realistically working on this during any given day, wonder if that's another number to note down.

[brazen prawn]

Weeeellll depends how you're doing it 😅

[solar sonnet]

Seeing how creators have started showing it, and I've seen up to 50 at once it might add up

If people are just checking it out then leaving

[rose dust]

Well, I wouldn't that sorta attack haphazard haha

[brazen prawn]

Blocked by WP on all tunnnels any% speedrun lol

[solar sonnet]

I think they're just playing ball before the true "start"

If I had to guess

[rose dust]

We've been targetting different links and facets of the WP engine so far, so I guess a "coordinated attack" might be multiple people targetting the same "thing"?

[solar sonnet]

And if it's actually a proper thing

Since the dots are coded to get more numerous through the month, I wonder if the end of the month is when something might happen?

Esp since that page may end up being updated after things kick off

[rose dust]

I wonder if the post itself is a nudge towards trying a more coordinateable way to "connect" to the system. The mention of brute force tactics might also be a hint that we're looking at this wrong?

The twt and bsky accounts have been responding to 16 / Space / Geometry / ProcGen posts as "connection attempts" which are reflected as security logs on the site. Maybe we all need to post NMS related content and tag the account in a similar way to existing connection attempts?

That seems like something a community could plan out, and a lil reminiscent of the calibration phase from WT with the mirrors and Atlas logos

[clear surge]

The fact that there's a connection counter on the front page suggests concurrent visitor count could do something

[covert temple]

I've been awake all of thirty seconds today but

have we tried deadass just talking to it

[rose dust]

I've been leaving comments everywhere but I don't think anyone's tried DMing it on twt / bsky / ETARC

[clear surge]

Like the accounts on social media?

[rose dust]

in fact one of my comments under it's WP blog posts didn't pass moderation, so I guess it doesnt want communication where it doesnt expect it

[covert temple]

hmmm ok

[rose dust]

Dming it could be viable too, I'll give it a shot in a sec. If others can chime in it might help w/ the "coordination" part

Oh lmao it's blocked DMs on twt and bsky

[fallow lichen]

Someone post "waypoint UI bad", see how it will react

[compact python]

Odd number yes. Does it stand for anything?

[brazen prawn]

10 country codes, 34 somethings 🤷‍♂️

[clear surge]

The security system is insufficient. System is currently at risk. Overload consequences unpredictable.
This was the other hint I remembered seeing - practically an invitation to break in

[ember wyvern]

A bit of a meta thought: what kind of access is needed to delete other people’s comments on the atlas forums?

[covert temple]

Furthermore, the Atlas forums leaders mentioned that The Architect was silenced by one of the forum's bots, that I understand, but what do they mean that the system reinstated them?

I would assume that means HG did it, but I figure if that's what that meant then we wouldn't be wondering if this whole thing is fan made or not

[rose dust]

I'm not entirely sure since I don't know how the forum works internally, but it looks like the system user which unblocked the account is an admin account which performed a few actions back in the WT days such as locking / unlocking threads. I have no idea if that account is manually managed, entirely automated, or somewhere in between, but it hasnt performed many interactions since its inception which kinda makes this one stand out.

[covert temple]

huh, I see

[rose dust]

There's also a long string of posts being flagged in the forums nowadays, especially for new users, though its not for all new users. These ones are marked as being "flagged by the community", but apparently none of the leaders have been flagging anything.

[turbid eagle]

man it's good to be back

[rose dust]

Agreed, even if this turns out to be fan made, it sure as hell is fun

[turbid eagle]

absolutely
also noteworthy (if fan made) is their consistency with prior ARG style/branding

[pine abyss]

Oh wow, so this got a room in discord.. Does that mean it's officially a HG thing?

[rose dust]

not confirmed yet

[pine abyss]

Got it, well I'll be anxiously watching this room then 👀

[turbid eagle]

I'll be anxious in general

[pine abyss]

sammmeeee

[idle remnant]

Hello 🙂
Apparently the image doesn’t ring any bells for the Travellers on the NMS FR Discord, but at the same time, not many of us are really digging into the question for now.

[rose dust]

Was the location of the image shared with NMS France? I doubt there'd be a live drop or anything this early, but if anyone decides to go to the spot and inverstigate in person, that might be helpful! Or at least give us some eyes on the ground.

[rose dust]

Tweeting a live picture of the location and tagging the account may help, going off the connection attempts. Might, quite literally, jog the system's memory? That's just an idea that was thrown on ETARC.

[idle remnant]

Yes, I shared the link and the image.
I’m also forwarding your messages with French translations

[turbid eagle]

if any of them can make any attempt similar to this, that would be worth testing

[idle remnant]

I passed it along, I’m going to try as well 👀

[rose dust]

• an attempt to recreate the original, if possible!

[idle remnant]

https://x.com/laChecktitude/status/2057546237360922912?s=20
I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m trying something 😅

[rose dust]

Looks good! I don't think any of us has a complete idea of what we need to do either, so every lil thing counts! 😁

[idle remnant]

🤭

[covert temple]

saw your post

glad you at least tried to talk to it

i didnt expect anyone to take that idea seriously LOL since i was hardly awake when i sent it

[rose dust]

A bunch of people over at ETARC (myself included) do think that something's trying to get us to connect to the system, and that the hints towards the BSky and twt accounts (and how they seem more "stable" than the ETARC / Reddit accounts) might mean that THAT's how we're meant to talk to it

[covert temple]

i see

[rose dust]

the_architect account actually saw my DM over on ETARC, but didn't respond

[covert temple]

really? that's

[rose dust]

That's the only platform where a DM with them is possible so far

[covert temple]

odd

i'm still combing through the forum posts because like, a hundred of them get posted every time i look away lol

I'm getting the impression though that the ETARC folks are right, the architect is trying to hint towards a different way of doing things

brute force isn't working

[rose dust]

Oh wow, someone noticed on ETARC that the tagline for the site is the same as Myriad's from WT

So even if this is fan made, it looks like someone who was around during WT.

[covert temple]

i guess ive gotta ask, is there even a way to know if this ARG is official or not

[round agate]

what if they want us to think this is fanmade

[covert temple]

because HG havent said either way, and I don't think they'd give a definitive no, just so they wouldnt kneecap a fan's hard work

[round agate]

[covert temple]

interestingly enough

I saw Bomber's question to the Forum leaders, asking what the System user even is

(thanks bomber for relaying questions from here to there, you a G)

[covert temple]

it seems like the leaders don't even know for sure?

[rose dust]

I'm guessing we'll know diegetically once they decide to reveal it (if it is official). I think the nail in the coffin for WT being official were the SM memos, but we'd caught on to it being NMS related way earlier too.

[covert temple]

i see

[rose dust]

Tbf, the current leaders were all community members who were asked to step up to the role once the ARG concluded and HG decided to keep the forum around for the community that it had fostered. Apparently, they still pitch in to help set up things like post flairs and such since HG retain those admin controls.

[turbid eagle]

damn I still have the Myriad app on my phone too lmao

[covert temple]

One thing I saw suggested and I think is worth a try is coordinating enough people onto the main site for long enough

[rose dust]

I had it on an older device, but smart switch didn't transfer it sadly. Gotta see if I can transfer it to my current phone haha

[hard spoke]

lol really?

I think used to have the app

[covert temple]

I know they've had a good amount of people on it at once

[hard spoke]

Maybe

[covert temple]

But I think it's a common sentiment that the main page still holds some significance

[turbid eagle]

yeah it's sitting on my old iPhone 5c, and I think on my iPhone 8 plus from a transfer.

[rose dust]

Oskar1up's gathering people in the RSS to get on to the site at 11 pm CET currently

[compact python]

Is it the first? Is it the last?

[covert temple]

i laughed my ass off at someone else pinging(?) mentioning(?) the architect on twitter with smth like "HELLO WORLD, YOU ARE NOT ALONE" with a screenshot of a NMS character arriving in a Viagra System

wonder what the puppet master's gonna think when they check their notifs again lmao

[covert temple]

that's 4pm here, so i'll be sure to participate

that's in like half an hour actually

[compact python]

Almost makes me want to make a account

But its tweeter...

Ugh

[covert temple]

yeah it aint worth it chief

but BasicMath's tweet to the architect IS pretty funny

"this u?" with a picture of the Atlas

[rose dust]

I'm gonna be sleep deprived as hell tomorrow, but I'm gonna stay up for at least a lil bit to get that counter nice and up hopefully.

[compact python]

I have few h to poke around but idk what i can do. I have only my phone

[rose dust]

Lmao I just opened twitter and found that exact post on top of my fyp

[late adder]

whats this

[covert temple]

i did a general search for mentions of @skyscraper_prj and that one was directly below yours

the difference in tone was what made it so funny lol

[covert temple]

new NMS related ARG

nobody knows if it's official

but it is interesting

[rose dust]

I can imagine the puppetmaster going through the tweets to pick out one to turn into another TR4CE style image and having a laughing fit at that lmao

[wide ridge]

Oh wow, when did this chat come up?

Also wondering whether anybody else continued going through my idea that the access denied reddit image was a spectrogram or not

[turbid eagle]

the spectrogram idea has been tested in a number of different ways, but nothing obvious has jumped out yet

[covert temple]

well i just sent the rogue AI a connection attempt whose resemblance to a 40k vox transmission didn't become apparent to me until after i sent it

so here's hoping the puppetmaster is a super nerd

[wide ridge]

Worth a shot at least, lol. I'm planning to see whether something happens around June 21 since if thats one of the possible things I got out of it

Granted it was something akin to a Unix time stamp for June 21, 2024 but who knows?

[rose dust]

Oh if they're going back and revisiting WT archive links (or worse have everything written down), there's no doubt they're a mega nerd 😛

[compact python]

Trace.... Of metal? Telamon? Laylaps? Hmmm

Trace, echo, remnant

[wide ridge]

I wish I was better at following args, lol

[turbid eagle]

source trace I'd imagine
but bonus points for lore references!

[wide ridge]

If this ARG references in-game lore, thats when I can be my most helpful

[covert temple]

i'm clueless too pal but dont let that stop you

[wide ridge]

I wonder if anything could correspond to something in the nms game

[compact python]

Anyone tried to write something in twitch project skyscraper chat ?

[rose dust]

yep, i tried leaving phrases found on the site about 12 hours ago. Nothing really came of it tho

[rose dust]

could happen. WT had a section where we all had to go search a planet for a specific comm ball to progress

[covert temple]

oh that mustve been a fucking blast lol

piecing together all the hints to basically say "go find a needle in a haystack"

"sincerely, emily"

[hard spoke]

Yeah wt was sick

[rose dust]

same arg that made us watch a mostly static stream for about a full day too

[turbid eagle]

it actually was a lot of fun
we had a bunch of glowing lights exploring around, making monuments

[turbid eagle]

never forget Superclassica

[compact python]

Im also trying to get something out off that spectogram but every online tool gives diffrent outcome

[turbid eagle]

I remember during WT, we got similar images that became clearer over time (released by the ARG itself as we progressed)

[wide ridge]

Yeah, I noticed that, but some of the more intricate ones have been able to get similar results as less intricate

[turbid eagle]

anyone joining in on the Oskar1up connection attempt?

[covert temple]

yeah ive got the main page open

[turbid eagle]

based on his stream it looks like we could get 50 or more people this time

[rose dust]

Im here, but the page seems to be stuck on 17 unless people on the stream arent on the site yet

[agile vale]

What is this?

[rose dust]

Actually, its been stuck on 17 for me for about 5m now

[covert temple]

yeah agreed

[compact python]

How to do so

[rose dust]

just open the site and keep it open for a bit

the stream's meant to gather a large amount of people onto the site at the same time in the hopes of triggering something

a "coordinated attack", going by the system's words

[wide ridge]

Refresh

Sometimes the count takes a while to update on its own

[rose dust]

id been doing so for about 3 minutes continuously, first thing to check

Ah, its increasing now

[turbid eagle]

24 now woop

[covert temple]

oh we're at 24 now

is it just me or are the red dots bigger

when you hover over them

than they used to be

[compact python]

What site

[turbid eagle]

project-skyscraper dot com

[covert temple]

https://project-skyscraper.com/

[compact python]

Ah ok

Fought they had specific side in mind

[rose dust]

quite a large amount of people in stream rn

[covert temple]

only 26 people on rn tho

[vernal delta]

It’s showing 20 for me, but I am on mobile so maybe that’s why?

[turbid eagle]

hopefully he can stream the site itself

[compact python]

U know what skyscraper have a lot of?

[covert temple]

windows?

[compact python]

//glass//

[covert temple]

oh

[rose dust]

still at 26

[vernal delta]

Is it 26 for everyone else?

[covert temple]

yeah

[wide ridge]

Reading 29 on my end

[rose dust]

he's dropped the link in chat

[compact python]

Maybe need to refresh

[rose dust]

should hopefully start increasing

[vernal delta]

Showing 29 for me too, likely just takes time to update 🤷‍♂️

[rose dust]

39

[covert temple]

oh shit we at 39 now

[turbid eagle]

oh buddy!

[compact python]

39 for me now

[vernal delta]

101

[turbid eagle]

you see 101?

[wide ridge]

I do too

We are using sentinel tactics on this, lol

[turbid eagle]

still at 39 for me lol

[round agate]

i hopped on the site

[vernal delta]

I’ve noticed it can be really delayed even with refreshing

[round agate]

what's supposed to happen on the website itself, can't seem to interact with anything aside from the dots on the screen, which gravitate towards the mouse

[vernal delta]

I think that’s what it is for everyone. On mobile you can click the dots and it will turn other dots red

[round agate]

i see

[compact python]

So much for "live connection" lol

[rose dust]

there are a bunch of posts connected to our attempts to communicate w/ the system and posts on twt / bsky, and we're trying to get enough connections on the main site to get something to happen rn

[round agate]

cool

[rose dust]

129!

[turbid eagle]

[ insert poking with stick meme ]

[wide ridge]

What if the more connections, the longer it takes to update, showing how the system is straining?

[rose dust]

Looks like mine's refreshing at the same rate as Oskar's lol

[covert temple]

so i noticed something, and it's PROBABLY nothing, but

in the inspect element there's a purple color

i assume bound to something, idk, I can't read code

But that purple color doesn't appear anywhere on the site rn

unless I'm blind

[compact python]

Ok 129 for me too

[round agate]

same

[turbid eagle]

screenshotting each new record high for the memories

[rose dust]

oof, down to 104

[turbid eagle]

nooo

[compact python]

Nuuuu

Come back

[vernal delta]

Hmm showing 116 for me

[hard spoke]

116 here too

[compact python]

104 here

[covert temple]

reinforcements may have arrived lads

the good folks at The Galactic Hub have made a Project Skyscraper channel

[rose dust]

Really wish this thing would pull from an API we could just keep pulling from

[rose dust]

Do they know about the current attempt to boost connections? Would be nice to have another community trying rn too

back up to 115

[covert temple]

i can tell them

the channel just opened so they'll see the message

i briefly explained the situation to them

we'll see where it goes

[rose dust]

124 again!

[round agate]

yup

[compact python]

Was there a time frame how long is the site raid?

[round agate]

lonely dot

[rose dust]

Not sure, I'd guess they'll keep tryig till the stream tapers off

[vernal delta]

That’s a much cleaner look of the whole thing than what mobile gets haha

Maybe we all need to select a particular one of the dots in an organized effort? Idk…

[compact python]

I can change view i think

[rose dust]

the site's barely serving a live user count, I don't think its equipped to do something like that tbh

[vernal delta]

Good point

[clear surge]

The dots are randomly positioned/connected and the number is based on the date. They're just there for flavour.

[round agate]

i guess it doesn't mean much when you move the mouse around then

[clear surge]

Not really, but they put effort into it rather than having it static - I guess it's supposed to make us think of something

[compact python]

Whos that pokemon

I see 93 now

[covert temple]

yeah same

[round agate]

same

[onyx dune]

Anything new? I just wokeup

[covert temple]

not really, it's slow going

[onyx dune]

I ran it through ai earlier and it just kept pulling bs

[compact python]

Ai will not help in this one

Need to use real brains

[onyx dune]

Ye it was more for what I couldn't see at the time

Imma boot my computer up in a bit and try again

[covert temple]

well someone in the NMS galactic hub server said that, based off the ARG's current schedule, we should be due for activity on the 22nd to 23rd

[compact python]

Comon site. Set the dots in shape of sean face

[turbid eagle]

that was me haha
It's just based on their 2 day 11 hour schedule

[onyx dune]

But also if u look at the photos in the 0 bit and 2 bit filter it appears there's numbers or a design on the far right middle

Or I mightve been tripping fr that wss before i went to sleep

It looks like the outline of circles

[covert temple]

well i hope we aren't limited to one memory bloc restoration per day

we'd be sitting here for a year

[turbid eagle]

I think we'll be ok
Restoring memories that already exist shouldn't be so linear

[rose dust]

I think the normal access denied posts are scheduled as per the pattern above, but our interactions force the unique security logs we've seen so far.

[compact python]

Cat

[covert temple]

im about ready to go get a dictionary off the shelf and start typing shit after the project skyscraper URL

[covert temple]

sleep led to something

[rose dust]

So we could get another log earlier referencing the large amount of connections

[turbid eagle]

yeah like an unscheduled one

[covert temple]

oh man i forgot to check those logs

[compact python]

Going down . 62

[onyx dune]

Whats the current animals or things we've gotten so far

[compact python]

I dont think anyone takes notes on this

[onyx dune]

Cats are associated with the number 7 highly

[turbid eagle]

A lot of things have been documented at skyscraper.havenmap.online

[covert temple]

i dont think this is new, is it?

[rose dust]

the shapes are completely randomly generated and the number of vertices depends on the day of the month

[compact python]

Already known

[onyx dune]

Interesting actually

[turbid eagle]

it's new, but not like right-now new

[covert temple]

thought so

[rose dust]

that's the latest one, but a few hours old

[turbid eagle]

I applaud Oskar1up for his efforts

[rose dust]

He's definitely the most organized of us all atp haha, massive props for attempting this

[turbid eagle]

new record! 139

[rose dust]

oh woa

[compact python]

Letsago

[onyx dune]

Would numberic codes be associated with the ISO

[covert temple]

youd have to ask someone more knowledgable

all i know is what's in clear writing lol which

isnt much

[rose dust]

good idea, wikipedia shows a a table w/ ISO A-2, A-3 and numeric codes, so we could potentially convert this to a number

[turbid eagle]

157!

[onyx dune]

840 is the US ik that

[vernal delta]

Where can we access these logs/new logs that come out?

[EDIT: Added sleep mode URLs]

[covert temple]

was skyscraper bleed always at 91.7 percent?

[mild spoke]

From where did this whole thing started ?

[covert temple]

hey essaion

i think it started on the atlas forums?

[rose dust]

A strange user on ETARC and Reddit having their posts removed (and in one case reinstated by the system)

[covert temple]

yeah

[onyx dune]

16 is associated with atlas and we've found that so far

[mild spoke]

We have been found :
IPs logged confirm multiple locations.
US-GB-ES-FR-MX-DE-CA-IE-BE-AU

[onyx dune]

Which translates to 840-826-724-250-484-276-124-372-056-036

[compact python]

Until new log will come out with new value.

[covert temple]

i see

[mild spoke]

If every single user here can confirm they see their own country when they go to this page it is just the country code

I confirm for Belgium

[covert temple]

so the logs wont change, new ones will come out with updated info

i was wondering

[covert temple]

well what's a country code

forgive my ignorance i might not know it by that name

[cyan kraken]

potentially an anagram?

[compact python]

It Didint found me. Notice me sempai 🥺

[rose dust]

One of the full logs did get updated iirc, when ETARC'S system reinstated the architect. But there was also a regular sec log posted which informed us about the update taking place

[onyx dune]

I confirm us

[mild spoke]

Geoip ban use these country code. Each country has a dedicated code

[cyan kraken]

i mean, unless its the IP marker for location

[mild spoke]

Us usa
Gb england
Es Spain
Fr France
Mx mexico
De Germany
Ca Canada
Be belgium

It matches

[rose dust]

It's static and unchanging. It's highly unlikely that the puppetmaster is doing anything with these apart from just acknowledging us.

Hell, I spent all day messing with the JSON API and my country code ain't even close to being on here

[compact python]

Same

[mild spoke]

Strange because listing Belgium is not the most common, but definitely not impossible

[covert temple]

well the US's country code is +1

and i dont see a +1

unless i'm looking at the wrong thing

[rose dust]

Which might make it a cipher if it can be converted to a numeric or other sequence, which was done above

[mild spoke]

Au is Australia or Austria ?

But IE ...

[cyan kraken]

indonesia?

maybe?

[mild spoke]

Internet Explorer ?

[rose dust]

These are the ISO country codes most likely, not dialing codes

[tulip tundra]

Ie is ireland

[rose dust]

Ireland

[cyan kraken]

ah fair nuff

840-826-724-250-484-276-124-372-056-036

Gunter confirms

[mild spoke]

So Europe and North America centered

Did anybody tried to just draw a line from one country to the next on a map ?

[cyan kraken]

where's the link that shows the country codes?

[onyx dune]

Very good thought hold one

[cyan kraken]

oh no

[mild spoke]

Target the Capitals

[mild spoke]

https://project-skyscraper.com/?page_id=1691

[onyx dune]

Imma work on this here in a bit imma get sum food 1st unless sum 1 else wants to do it before me

[mild spoke]

And it is the last page when pressing next

[mild spoke]

It is past midnight here so I will be out soon

[cyan kraken]

yep yep, saw it. and its static, i think. fixed country codes

[onyx dune]

I didn't wakeup till like a hour ago at 3pm cuz I stayed up for 48+ hours for school

Since im studying mathematics related with Astrophysics

[mild spoke]

Now we probably want to get this exact same pattern on the stellar page.

[tulip tundra]

Why is Dublin in Iceland

Ireland, not Iceland

[cyan kraken]

that's 10 nodes

we'll have to time it

[torpid linden]

Hello there. I'm Microsan one of the mods of the French Community. I live ca. 15 minutes away from this location. I will do my very best to visit it next Saturday being very busy tomorrow. Do you need anything special beside a pic of the "wooden giant" picture and the panel ?

[compact python]

Does not look like any nms number sequence

[rose dust]

If possible, could you recreate the original image from the website and post it on twitter, tagging @Skyscraper_prj too? We think it might help progress this stage of the ARG

Thanks a lot btw! I know that this is a big ask for an arg w/ unknown official status

[mild spoke]

Tag me if anything comes around Belgium

[onyx dune]

Could it translate to a portal glyph if I use a resource
