what does pg14 encompass
nvm
ok so there are probably just over 412.316.860 assuming that roughly 10% of solar systems are tier three
better than the like 14 billion it was yesterday and the quintillions it started out as
i mean, it kina shows what planet you are on?
what other info would be useful for us?
once we know what system its just a matter of which planet, and then where on that planet. the hard part is figuring out the system
There you go again
what do you mean?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
darkita please
what does that mean
"there you go again"
do you mean im just assuming everything has to do with location?
well he said you're too focused on surroundings
once we know what system its just a matter of which planet, and then where on that planet. the hard part is figuring out the system
completely unnecessary
once we know the system the gig is up
darkita, i dont want to give away what im thinking how this image is a clue. can you let me message you? or is that not allowed.
i dont think he has dms on for this server, so i just wanted to see if he could respond in dms.
Okay. I'll give a hint. Look at the engine, and look at the fins
idk, im kinda hoping to get that cobalt
We gotta find a system with a ship like that
maybee
Nah I don’t really think so myself
i think i have a good guess.
yeah
Yeah I kind of doubt it’s that far 😛
i was think it was the planet, since we can see the weird pillar things here
not a lot of planets have terrain like that. its not super uncommon, but not really common either
It's not a planet
Looks like a filter is on it
then wft is that
Asteroid
Finally. Someones using their head
darkita check your dms
OH
please
each clue should be pinned i agree
Well I dont have access to do so
Danke
Ahh, thank you very much
thar ye be 

And the front part
Just dont think too hard about what the ship looks like
The front looks nothing like that
What is this? an investigation or something
Okay. Might have made this a little too complicated. So I'll tell you this
You telling me that that pic isn’t there?
Look carefully at the centre engine and the tip of the wings.
No, that isn't the same ship
Again, look at the engine and the wing tips. What Glyph do they remind you of
Oh I’m not saying that the ship looks the exact same I mean the front part is that I think
No
My fighters nose isn't that long
On that first pic planets seem to be the same pattern
First pic is an asteroid
how did you get no man's guy lol
currying favour
i see, the shape of the ship is a glyph
is that it?
Which one do you think charz?
You're on to something
It aint that easy
as in your image hint isnt that easy or I cant DM you?
ohh its the galaxy glyph
nah
nah
oh F
dangit
then fuck it I'm posting here
me too lol
is it a type of stegonography (whatever its called) where you hide text in the images code?
I thought its
because the triangles are fitting the engine's exhausts, but its more likely
as they're accounting the wings
^
Tsk, tsk
so yeah I'm going for teepee
thats what i though
So close
...
so its atlas
oh then oh god dont tell me its that dumb
one
ok good
ok, i need a tip. is it a type stegonography where you hid the coords in the image?
is my last resort but its dumb
^
oh ok 😦
its either rocket or atlas
You were so close on your thoughts before, Sohail
im going with rocket
its not atlas
so then rocket
No, you're going backwards again
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ok
is it
?
no
is also kinda there for me if I also account for the surrounding dots, but I'm not feeling so confident with this idea
the glyphs can totally repeat anyway

WHAT
Think about you said before
or maybe 
now your just guessing
no not 
then I'm just going for the engines, fuck the wings
You mentioned you saw something with the engines
Before you random guess come with facts and statements
Thank you, Zen

same
How did you guys get so close but then lose it?!
I'm literally shouting at you that you had it right
no you're overthinking right now
And then you changed your mind
it's 
so its atlas
YES
I'm going with this
so we were close at
and 
haha it took me a while to realise you were telling me literally that I got it right the first time
I would have stuck with it had I not read the wings message
https://discordapp.com/channels/146101654981312513/746196108467896361/746425274052116509 i said it first and no one said anything, bruuuuh
But good job
atlas is
no?
no
no its 
is anomoly
ohh right
@ocean sparrow what glyphs did we get so far?
and
right?
we need kai
ye i was just saying, and we only have atlas
now we have
in the mix
the previous hints, yesterday
We got 4
dangit i didnt see that lol
so the images itself aren't the only clues? we got 3
darkita also gave like 2-4 text clues
that's what confused me
the first time he dropped clues were to support image clue 1
ok so that whole thirsty but lighting sucks clue were for the other thing
wait
i justt realised
no nvm
1.610.612 possible systems
estimated
once we have four glyphs left its becomes more reasonable to try to find darkita with blind luck
especially if we got enough people to help
No, I thought about that
You see, once you get into guessing range. Then thats when my plan kicks in. So far, the Glyphs I've been giving you are in the right order. But... Let's say things are going to get a little mixed up
ah shite
No False Glyphs. The real question comes on where do they go?
how many more glyphs in order will you give?
Now if I told you, you guys could easily plan ahead for that
true
I still wish you the best of luck
lol thanks
fun fact: if you give one more glyph in order and then the last 6 out of order, there are 720 possible combinations
120 combos if you give two more in order
6! eh
24 if you give three more in order
so realitically we are only gonna get 1 more in order
120 is well within guessing range
720 is kindof as well
so like i said
realistically only one or no more in order
brute forcing a portal
goddamn
struct group_info *groups_alloc(int feared_sequence67){
struct group_info *group_info;
int nblocks; 16 // 16 // 16
int i; 16 // 16 // 16}
nglyphs = (portalsize + NGLYPHS_PER_PORTAL - 1) / NGLYPHS_PER_PORTAL............
16```
oshit
Actually, hold on
and this is where i give up because im not smart enough
There we go
nglyphs = (portalsize + NGLYPHS_PER_PORTAL - 1) / NGLYPHS_PER_PORTAL............ is where we need to pay attention first
nglyhphs - glyph number
oops my bad
i'm still confused too
who do i have to kill for those fat bounty payments???
its a alive bounty only
10 stacks of cobalt, kek
have to find Darkita
🤷♂️
i'd rather do community missions
no need to be so uptight about it
...
ah well this is zmaster of uptights
wht u mean uptight lol
"waste of time" "only good for bored people"
yes waste of time for me... or anyother vet
MAKE IT A VOID EGG NEXT TIME!
at least ull help new players
Agreed with Darkita, a fun puzzle for the community
thx

Thanks, Aethena...
ok so like a "portalsize" I feel should be 12? as that's the number of glyphs you can enter
the answer will be in a decimal
its just quirky math
I regret making this post
You'll figure it out
yes just not now as I'm half sleepy to rack my brain properly
wait
oh i see now
still not smart enough to actually do it but i get what you gotta do
i always hated math
and still do
I'm just failing to understand what those three terms mean
"nglyphs" "portalsize" "NGLYPHS_PER_PORTAL"
like it has to be "glyph number" for the answer
so that would make nglyphs = glyph number
i think "nglyphs" is the number you gotta solve for and either "portalsize" or "nglyphs_per_portal" is probably 12
but then that would contradict the other term as that would mean "glyph number per portal"
wait wait
and either "portalsize" or "nglyphs_per_portal" is probably 12
yep and the other number has to be an odd number so that the final answer is a whole number
as its (portalsize + NGLYPHS_PER_PORTAL - 1), the result of which is divided by NGLYPHS_PER_PORTAL
nglyphs = (portalsize + NGLYPHS_PER_PORTAL - 1) / NGLYPHS_PER_PORTAL
nglyphs = (16 + 12 - 1) / 12
nglyphs = 28/12
you forgot the -1
16 + 12 is 28
28 -1 is 27
either way the answer is a fraction rather than a whole number
thats a decimal so probably not right
you could get the answer by rounding off but I dont think its that
what
bruh
bruh indeed
its structured like a C++ program but idk programming well
Last hint. It aint about how its structured.
ffs what is it about then
is... the glyph
?
lmao time to start guessing glyphs
no ignore that
int feared_sequence67
this just caught my eye
why is 6 afraid of 7? because 7 8 9
its 
@uneven tree did I do it
😉
holy shit you mad man
@ocean sparrow bro its 
Otherthunk it
wait really or are you joking
fucking got stick bugged
No, that is it
I'm laughing so hard rn
i was going into like algebra and it was literally based on the joke 7 8 9
NICE
Lmao
The fuck
ikr??
dude I was going crazy over algebra programming shit
clearly not that high IQ enough
ye
yep
7 more
ne we gort one more today that you missed kai
What
When
yeah theres an
just before the bug
Really?
yes
oh right that was today
So halfway there
anywho this was hilarious I'm gonna tell mom about this tomorrow, goodnight
(she's a math nerd and graduated with a major in it)
Nice
i'll be honest
We're only two days into this thing and I'm already starting to feel lonely
just change color of this glitch in your freighter
What?
So how’s this going so far?
Very nice
interesting tuff
wait for the next clue drop
hopefully something as dumb as the last one, I loved that
what's this about? An official event?
Some things may be out of order, like that one vending machine in college. However, spiders that live in things that are out of order, aren't always in the place you find them in.'
@uneven tree its
(based on the ship design)
I'm not giving too many hints for this one
All I'll say is it's not worth cleaning things up.
figured that much
It's that way for a reason
Actually, the more I think about it, this one might be too difficult
Want me to give a better image?
I'm not gonna say no to that, yes please
Alright, lemme think of something
Okay, this might be a bit obvious. So no hints on this one
unless you got it already lol
I would like someone else to chime in yes
He's far from it

That's a backpack guys wtf
ya I already pointed that out
now what glyphs can relate to it? the actual image wont work as my two guesses were shot down
kil kil kil
Think about it guys. Focus on the image, Not the glitches

Very clever, Valhalla
Wanna share with the class on how you got that?
Good idea
Now a new question
Where does it go in the sequence?
Where does it go in the sequence?
seems like the linear posting of clues doesnt mean that's the glyph order
its gotta be on the end since we know face through bug is in order
Darkita said they were giving them in order so far
so the only one that may be out of order is the dino
or portal3
whatever you wanna call it
I think first two are out of order
should be swapped
as the first clue was for the sun rising and the second one was the reflection
Really cool to see this sort of stuff happening
Then participate you poo poo head
awesome stuff
A countless number of systems, virtually infinite planets, endless life. So many emotions to carry on this spire of reality. Yet, only two stand out from the rest. Joy, and regret. Only to be caught by an endless sorrow at the bottom of the spire

HELP

Spire of reality*
actually, too easy
Oof
yeah I thought so
Spire of reality*
that's what he said, I was pointing out that this glyph is called "spiral of reality"
bottom of the spire? im saying the galaxy spiral one
well no a spire and spiral are different
Ding Ding Ding
@zenith rain got it first
ya but they didnt say why they posted that
True
Look at the Glyph
It's like a spire, with the two little dots being the emotions
And when they drop
I had to explain it too?
Idk
They fall into one single emotion
That's 8 now
should imo otherwise we can just spam all glyphs until he says yes
I picked the two glyphs that seemed most spire-like, given the context of polarized emotions.
and that would be boring
True
Yeah, I dont count guesses

still not the right order apparently
Is it?
Ffs
You think I'd make it that easy?
really think that at least the first two are to be swapped
We're only three days in
No it's backwards
Hehehe
Listen
I'll tell you this to add more confusion
Or less
They're in the correct order
To a point
Where that point is
It's up to you
yep knew it the first two are messed up, I remember the first clue was for the sun setting
In crouton's ass
Sohail, babe, listen
Babe lmao
😳
I know it's confusing
Maybe the first two are right
Maybe they're not
Maybe they dont even belong there to begin with
you're writing stuff I see in my dream when I open discord
which means I gotta sleep now gn
yea its like 1:38am
The next clue will be tomorrow
Night night keep your butthole tight
So you may all rest now
noooo
The next clue is in Sohails dreams
Oof
time to sleep asap bye
The clue is me?
dont underestimate the power of my dream recalling
I dont know, I dont assume attack helicopters
ATTACK
Sohail was the one hiding all along
I dont even exist!
So you guys aren't confused. I'm fucking with you all, this isn't a clue
STAR CLOSE THE CHANNEL WE'RE DONE
Which, technically, killed me in the process
Are you saying
So they win by default
lewd
bred
these bones; they got tones...
It takes a warrior of courage and power to find this secret. Wherever you go, wherever you stand, Find me.
Makes me think of the challenge to reach 
Salty got it
Well then
Good job, man
Nice one
Learned the rules; offered explanation. 😂
It was the bit about it being everywhere - Atlas is the only thing omnipresent
read
I’m looking for hints or discussion
Hello everyone. I'm sorry not much has happened today, I've been incredibly busy and not had time for clues. Things will return to normal tomorrow.
Epic
all good Darkita. hope you're ok.
Yes
CORRUPTED -KZZT- DETECTED
YELLOW ALERT INITIATED
COMMANDER LOG: "It's ripping apart everything that goes near it. All our probes sent to it have destroyed! We need to abort this exposition until we can figure out what the hell it is we're dealing with"
WARNING: REALITY BREACH -- REALITY BREACH -- REALITY BREACH```
spiral of reality?
oh yeah and here
in order:

possibly out of order (in order given by darkita):

abort this exposition
what
it kinda makes me think of a black hole in real life, and theres one at the center of every real galaxy.
thats why i think spiral of reality

That sounds like a good one
yeah but I dont think this is it
"Reality breach" makes it too obvious and so far the obvious answer has been wrong
that was the same deal, we were noticing the math when we had to notice that one weird part of the message
just like right now with "abort this exposition"
Sohail got it
Yeah, figured you guys would get that quickly
Sorry, I'm just not thinking well with these things lately
sorry
wait it is spiral?
dont want em all to be super difficult anyway
lmao
in order:

possibly out of order (in order given):

and i just want to say i was the first person to say the spiral of reality
and it was my first guess so i contributed
now i can pretend i'm smart

I guessed Asteroid was the bg on the first pic so I've been helpful

oh no his transponder broke
I think the next glyph might be rocket
yeah, reasonably sure, the other options don't make sense
everyone, this isn't a clue but I'm moving the final day of the hunt to Friday instead of Thursday. Since I wasn't really available yesterday and Sunday, I have decided to give you guys an extra day to find me. Happy hunting.
@foggy pilot Could you pin that?
Thanks, bud
Do you want the message, I decoded it
Was it base64?
Ah ok
only one website in the world can decode it
Thought I might just have been stupid xD
decode it 2-3 times, then translate the output using a tool 🙂
Gotchya
in order:

possibly out of order (in order given):


What's all this then?
I’ll find dark!
@lofty arrow whoever finds darkita in-game gets 10 stacks of cobalt i believe. we randomly get clues as to a new glyph to the portal address for the system they are in
Can someone delete Yerts message?
@quasi loom sorry for the ping but are you able to remove Yerts's message?
Huh
yerts there a line between having an opinion and being an arse about it
you dont have to enjoy this kind of stuff, but let the rest of us have our fun
we arent hurting you in any way. so if you dont want to participate, just mute this channel and ignore any conversations about it
i wll find dark

Please just block and ignore them though
Nothing important just focus on the hunt
The seventh chevron is the origin point!! Ohhh
Jk
in order:

possibly out of order (in order given):


there are 5056 possible combinations
they keep vanishing. Every time our shields fail to contain a breach in reality, someone vanishes. What's going on?
This is a special twofer
wait, darkita are both of mine right or just one?
just one
Just the one
You got shields correct
No, but close
Wow this is still a thing
dope
in order:

possibly out of order (in order given):



only 5040 possible combinations lmao
wait so what are we looking for
:0
I mean either they go in order of discovery or there will probably be a final puzzle to figure out the order
With the final day now here, I give to you one final clue.
The tree, over a beautiful sunset. The Atlas watching both sides of the Voxel. The Voxal, guarding the galaxy, a dying tree infected with bugs, and the atlas. Watching over past and future
Let the final hunt begin
alright let's put my guess in then
outbound wormhole estabished
oh balls I'm not even in the right galaxy
Oh I went off. I'll be back on in a sec
you're fine, I forgot I was in hilbert
Okay, now the hunt begins
do we have to kill you or just like find you or what?
like, should i be ready for a fight, or do i just gotta figure out where you are hiding?
attempt 2 underway
i dont wanna come in guns blazing if i just gotta find you darkita, but if i gotta kill you, i dont wanna just be standing there looking stupid
The person to reach my location first wins
system undiscovered, back in the portal I go
Undiscovered? What?
Oh no. No no no no dont be doing that glitch
And if it's glitched
After all this time
I will then proceed
To throw this game in a ditch
you should have seen me pop into the system if I got the coords right
@naive flint place down buildable item. if it shows up in chat there is someone in the system with you
hax
I can confirm the Glyph sequence is correct
I'm not sure why it's not working though
alright darkita, where are ya
it's me
This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them
Let's see who gets there first
it was fun helping guys. good luck finding darkita!
I think I know
Darkita162
Then you just see an icon pointing to their location
Yeah, no I thought of that
Since it wouldn't be fair if you all found me at the same time by looking for my icon. I turned it off
how can you be in a system and NOT have an icon
Calm donw there, Anakin
you can turn it off in options
Nope
It's not natural
also I'm just speedrunnignt he derelict cause I don't wanna waste the transciever
You should check behind a door that requires the Atlas Pass V3. I'm sure they are there
I'm very intrigued by this all ^ So what's going on, you drop system coords, hide in the system - and let people hunt you?
The coords were revealed through hints through the entire week and now they are in the endgame since they have all of them
yea I was scrolling up and seeing that it was quite involved
what galaxy is he in
Euclid
so.... this would not be the time to finish my last 4 16/16 jumps and try to beat them to the punch? 😉
Resist the urge to take down those authority sentinels, Darkita...Dont give away your position
😮
I've lost track of one of your positions and that's worrying me
it might be me, I glitched into the space station
:0000 i'm in euclidddd
lmao the nexus
ik joking
I have a nice view of all the planets here
I'll give one more hint
I'm not planet bound
i'm out of copper :'|
@ocean sparrow Look to the edge
Find the limit
fuck
You're still five days away, adamb
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YCfGKJLEAc
This hunt be like:
But it's getting closer together
And it's getting closer together
yes you are right bill wurtz the G
here click this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuCn8ux2gbs (watch bill's video! you probably have, so watch it again!)
here's another link you could totally click: h...
So to summarize the hints for anyone:
- Not on planet
- Artificial
- Hanging out at the edge
I know where they are because I moused over them for a second

but there was a wall in the way so I can't figure out where that corresponds to
I turned my ping on for a second, thats why
If one location doesn't work, try the next. Look around for anything that you might be able to land on
what about an airless moon or smth
is there any anomaly station
the red diamond thingies idk
You know, @naive flint this search would shorten down if you look into the stars
@naive flint youre getting colder
there's a lot of starts is the problem
What do you see in space right now that's artificial?
orly
...... I just remembered you can hide your ship/player marker

all this time I was thinking isn't it too easy once you enter the system
Look up to the sky, my friend
no man's ||in the|| sky
can't even find a working portal :|
i forgot that not only am I on 1.09 i dont have all the glyphs on Beyond anyway XD
No you're getting colder again
I think I'm getting a clearer picture. It seems like there are some things grouped together in the distance of that image

No wrong way
Correct height
Wrong direction
Turn around
Keep going
Turn around and up
Hes the only one here
Lol
So I might as well
Hold on
@naive flint I figured it out. Here is a close up of what I noticed
Glad I could figure out what was in the image
yeah, I figured that, I'm just not able to see them
Ahh
the portal finally workeddddd
Shit I gotta go eat. If you guys find me. Ping me
hevaldo-john v the right place?
indon't think that's the right one adam
so if he's got a good view of all the planet's he'd have to be far from planets yeah?
This guy gets it
Also I'm back
One of you is very close
No, now you're far
Come back, whoever that was. You were close
@lament warren @naive flint One of you was literally a one second pulse away
I know I'm close but there are so many freighter groups to search
yea
ooo i found a cool ship
I've not seen a single one yet
Go back to the yellow and red one
there are like 3 yellow and red ones
And now I've narrowed your search to three
:0
aw man so it was me who was close
One of you just flew right past me
it me
No, Adam, you're going cold again
when we find you do we fight you or what
You passed right from me
wait what
Your goal is to just find me
ok
lmao
@uneven tree did I literally fly through you
You flew past me
Remember the hint I gave above
Also my Freighter isn't red and yellow
It's just near ones of that colour
did I fly past you?
You're literally so close right now
Your marker is gone, I'm not sure
I dont see anyone
or I was till it sucked me back in
No, not that one
But you're close
an hour away from a stand still
Which is virtually right next door
there are only 2 here 
has to be this bad boy them
No
Think what I said
An hour from a stand still
But with a pulse, it's right next door
Do you see other Freighters in the distance?
From the left, perhaps?
the starship map is only showing 2 tho :'|
No, Adam, you had it!
i've been there you aren't there
Adam, stop
Turn around
Keep that height
And pulse
I saw you from my deck
Turn left, and face upwards
No, dont pulse
Just boost
No, too far left
Oh I see someone else
You're going in the right direction but you're too high
@lament warren Go down
Okay, not that Freighter
The one below it
@naive flint try up
No pulse
I heard someone dock
Adam, you were right there!
f
You were in the docking bay!
me?
Yes!
You're TheMysteriousX, right?
yup
You just landed
nope
And then took off again
I'm in space
wack
You're right above me
how close
getting closer?
In a starship, about 2 seconds
Still the same
Okay, yes
You're getting closer
Now you're getting further
Come back
closer?
