WHAT CAN BE READ BUT CANT BE WRITTEN
a thought or a dream maybe?
"I can not live because I can not die..."
fire?

i am of four but i am of thousands could be in reference to a 4 digit number
7528?
You can see it but it can't be replicated
The "consume" picture would fit with that

we disappointed bishop
silent kite
what we know: 4 digits, 14 characters total, and bishop thought this one is easy
translation: we are beyond fucking stupid
shadow crescent
I have tried every combination of the number 7528 paired with different words referenced in all 7528 docs
Namely the nickname Epitodmedia
shadow crescent
Not a confirmation
But a really big suspicion
Especially given the fact it seems 7528 likely made the password after taking over the area 12 website
Also crowvi, don’t forget about the deal we talked about
In vc

and i mean what can not live because it can not die could be a dream

Make more ideas that actually make sense then
On things that we do not already basically have down

and how is a dream not thematic to 7528

?
silent kite
dreams can be thoughts
full rivet
You can't ask how it is not if you don't explain how it is
That's not how logic works
silent kite
why do we need logic at this point in time 7528 is a cognitive hazard not a logic hazard
full rivet
We need logic to figure out the password
Please actually pay attention to anything at all

so take the chip off you shoulder and chill the fuck out

You seem a lot more tense than I am
Where were you trying to go with anything you were saying?
How would any of that have gotten us closer to a password?
silent kite
its trying to actually figure out what the riddles are like all of us have been trying to do
full rivet
Saying that I think you're wrong helps with that
silent kite
because like bishop said the answer is infront of uss referring the the 3 immages
silent kite
then explain your stand point Mr everyone is wrong but me?
full rivet
I've been focusing on the images the entire time I've been actually trying to solve the password
full rivet
then explain your stand point Mr everyone is wrong but me?
You haven't explained yours
The entire thoughts were "consume 8 sounds like consummate" and "because a dream cant die if it cant be lived"
full rivet
You could put anything in there if it's going to be a standard word that fits that loosely
It's very specifically worded as "I can not live/die because I can not die/live"
The word dream fits that incredibly, incredibly loosely
silent kite
how dreams or Thoughts cant die if they aret lived
full rivet
how people can't die if they aren't lived
how ideas can't die if they aren't lived
how literally anything living or metaphorically referred to as living can't die if they aren't lived
That is how the logic of living things works
ideas would make more sense than either of those things considering 7528 is an ideoform

Because your idea could have been literally anything else that is metaphorically referred to as living and it would have the exact same amount of evidence
"idea" specifically makes more sense since it's a word that has been used in the ARG
Although, I still doubt that "idea" is the answer since Bishop said the images had the answer
upbeat sonnet
This might not make too much sense but please note that I'm tired and sleep deprived: if 7528 does not live/die and therefore cannot die/live (assuming that message in specific is referring to 7528 and not something else) it could fall into an antimemetic category in the sense that it is a paradoxical entity and by being an ideoform, it is the antithesis of that at the same time. Does this make sense?
silent kite
how not dude
full rivet
The actual text was "I can not live because I can not die" or "I can not die because I can not live"
Things that aren't alive can't die
upbeat sonnet
Alright, but the premise still stands, I forgot the quote verbatim but that's what I was going for
Actually, nevermind, I reread what I wrote and what you wrote and I see now
Can't be paradoxical if it's causal, right?
Or did I just confuse myself?
silent kite
imma be honest your original message made somewhat sense to me
shadow crescent
Me too
silent kite
oh really?
full rivet
And I don't know how something not being able to live/die makes it an antimeme
upbeat sonnet
And I don't know how something not being able to live/die makes it an antimeme
If it were a concept or an idea it could be idk
full rivet
Bishop said he thought this would be too easy
Which is actually a hint in and of itself
shadow crescent
Yeah, a hint that we’re dumb as fuck
full rivet
He also basically said to stop looking too deep into things
we have:
14 characters
At least 4 digits
7528
Image 1:
"Let us out"
"What can be read but can't be written"
Image 2:
"Consume" x8
Image 3:
"I am of four but I am of thousands"
"I can not live because I can not die" or "I can not die because I can not live"
"Who is Pietro"
"You are unclean"
"I must purge you the uncured"
And
This should be all of the info we need
upbeat sonnet
Do you think it'd be worth it to scan this image for anything or would that fall under the "going too deep" category?

The answer to the riddle is 7 characters
inner lance
I still hold onto my belief that the answer is something along the lines of face or room. You can read someone’s face, you can’t write someone’s face. You can read a room, you can’t write a room. I’m trying to think of other possible meanings. Riddles tend to be unexpected (surprising, I know)

Then again, I could be overthinking this lol

I'm checking in once in a while since I'm at work

It would be something that would have a different meaning when SCP7528 is after it vs when it's the answer to a riddle
inner lance
Something tells me the key is the hint about an unleashed watchdog
hardy ingot
And I'll repeat: if it were only half the riddle, the answer would be easy, but the easy answer, while not the correct answer, is still part of the complete riddle
silent kite
what half of the riddle do we have
inner lance
Hmmm, half the riddle? Ok, the riddle split in half is either what can you read, and what can’t you write?
silent kite
istg if you say the question
inner lance
The answer to the riddle is most likely a compound word. Three or four letters, that can be added to to create another word
Maybe one of the words is dog?

Because its scp or somthing idk

I don’t think it’s a different timeline
lusty vale

full rivet
I don’t think it’s a different timeline
It's set in 2018 with things that we know for sure didn't happen in 2018
I've been saying it's in a different timeline for basically the entire ARG
The Foundation didn't start curing people until 2019 in 5000 and until 2020 in 5K, yet several characters are referencing the cure
And specifically cured people
Also the whole thing with Pietro's logs having 2018 instead of 2020 in this ARG

my thing is how do we know they aren't fabrications
full rivet
We know this is 7528 talking to us
We know it is getting this from the deepwell
This is one of the few things directly confirmed by Bishop
How would they be fabrications
7528 shouldn't know about the logs in 2018 and the logs shouldn't be on the Deepwell in 2018
silent kite
but why would 7528 give us word for word information without any bit of tampering
full rivet
It's regurgitating data
And it did change a few things
We know it's still 2018 because the website is set in 2018
And that was taken over by 7528

Also the whole thing with Pietro's logs having 2018 instead of 2020 in this ARG
Isn't it possible for this whole timeline to still be a part of the whole 5k(or even 5000), but simply be pushed back due to Pietro's actions? The info they retrieved from the harness likely stalled any sort of research they would have done naturally of Pneuma, so maybe the entity had to use some sort of other way to "cure" them, like 7555?
After all, the 5000 article mentions that they found the suit in 579 in 2020, which matches up seemingly to 5k's timeline.
I don't really get all the 7528 stuff though, would it be helping or hurting in the present situation?

probably extremely wrong but i dont know much about this stuff anyways, could it be that the reason 7528 has this data when it shouldn't is because it is hopping from timelines of these 5k incidents, eating and repeating actions in slightly different timelines? if it is true that 7528 escaped a dying universe, could these dying universes be the previous timelines? that would mean it is just constantly in a cycle of eating data from many different deepwells? it might be chronologically strange as 7528 makes no reference or knowledge that it knows of previous timelines. all of this is probably wrong anyways, but its just my thoughts. pls do give feedback i like knowing things and i havent followed this arg at all
shadow crescent
7528 knew that stuff because it basically absorbed the fragments of crius, the AI warden of the Deepwell, and it was basically just trying to learn
full rivet
probably extremely wrong but i dont know much about this stuff anyways, could it...
We specifically know it's getting it from the deepwell
Also, I think you're confusing 7528 for something else
foggy roost
yeah maybe
so basically the deepwell has data from multiple timelines it shouldn't have? and now 7528 (which is epitomedia, projector screen annoying boss) is feeding us through the arg data from multiple timelines, is that correct?
full rivet
so basically the deepwell has data from multiple timelines it shouldn't have? an...
The deepwell has data it should have, were this to be a different reset of 5000 than the article or game
And there is no reason to believe otherwise
foggy roost
The deepwell has data it should have, were this to be a different reset of 5000 ...
so the arg stuff is from a seperate timeline in its entirety
full rivet
It's a previous timeline
foggy roost
is it a previous timeline in relation to 5k the article or 5k the game
full rivet
Both
foggy roost
my bad not what i meant to say
i meant like, if we have three timelines established (article, arg, game) what if there even is an order, the order of the timelines chronologically?

This ARG is set in 2018 and the foundation has Pietros logs and has distributed the cure already, 5000 and 5K are both set in 2020, with those things only happening in 2020

i wonder who... maybe it was K-1891916
shadow crescent
Why have we dubbed him K-1891916
willow flame
Lots of events led to where we are now, a lot of asking the different versions of Crius questions pertaining to in universe stuff, 3 versions of Crius were supposedly friendly(those being 7,8 and 10, 7 and 10 likely being "Arly" our buddy, not sure if 8 was actually Arly or not) Crius 9 was working for Overwatch but we managed to get him to break and let 10 take over. The website was introduced with 2 possible passwords, 1 of which we never got cause someone got a little too impatient, the second password which we used killed "Arly" since it acted as both a password and kill command(omega9ablade_c12). This password also(I'm assuming) breached SCP 7528 which began digesting information and spitting it back out. Using this info we managed to recontain 7528 and get the level 1 clearance code.
Just on a side note, there's a chance we already guessed this, but if I recall we were wondering which Council member might of been working with Crius-9, maybe it was O5-9, hence the whole Omega9 portion. just a theory.

I mean O5-9 is a pretty good theory bc I dont think we know which O5 member is in charge of A-12
and at this point in time we should be accepting all possible theories no matter how whimsical, "bad", or misplaced in the timeline(s) they are because that can help us grow as a community and it can allow more people to join us in this arg
technically this is something we should have been doing since the beginning but whateves
south fractal
I mean, the benefit of broadstroke ideas from other areas is that the devs might even go "Hey damn! Thats a good idea!" and implement it. It's a nice take-away for me anyway lol.
silent kite
my point exactly, especially since bishop is actively watching this (please do correct me if im wrong bishop) there is a chance bishop likes an idea we come up with and adds it to a future arg or into the game even if its something as small as a document you can find in game

i hate to be the bearer of bad news man but this isn't that serious we are all fans of a collective writing board that runs off of whimsy and not following normal universe rules. so what we need to do is get all of our collective heads out of our asses and build a proper community that is accepting of out there ideas. if we all keep going with this holier than thou attitude towards different theories and ideas there is a probability that we will kill our chances of ever having an arg again, because every time someone has a possible answer it devolves into infighting and we get nowhere except for people leaving and animosity, im not sure if i have to say this but that is a bad thing.
