ok then

Just for the swedish
silver sedge
ts is pretty weird
All that means is the image had no author listed
It should say "Unkown Author"

It'd be really cool to get the church of the broken god in the game

Hey guys
New lore, pentagram is actually the UIU and the UIU is actually pentagram
(Click on the image links for UIU and pentagram)
full rivet
woopsies
silver sedge
@vagrant ginkgo You accidently swapped the UIU and Pentagram logo links in the attribution
Also CoBG's image link goes to the Maxisnism image
Or whatever that GOI is called
I never remember
sharp salmon
Actually GRU-P would be hilarious to have in game working with the UIU as they're the reason the UIU was made in the first place iirc

I mean, personally I don't think they will be played by us in-game
frozen cobalt
Would be cool though
silver sedge
As from what I understand they want to go for GOIs that are rarely used, or just completely unused
In mainstream media
GRU is in a lot of SCP media
As being the enemy
frozen cobalt
As being the enemy
Never play as them tho
silver sedge
Eh, I think the point more is everyone knows about them
frozen cobalt
True
sharp salmon
Is GRU-P used that much?
frozen cobalt
yup
silver sedge
Especially if it is during the cold war
frozen cobalt
Is GRU-P used that much?
Yes
silver sedge
But a party I bet we will play as at some point
frozen cobalt
But you never play as them
silver sedge
Is pentagram
frozen cobalt
Is pentagram
How
silver sedge
Assuming they ain't being puppeted by the foundation
frozen cobalt
Pentagram is non combatant
silver sedge
Yeah, but the US Military is one
frozen cobalt
Assuming they ain't being puppeted by the foundation
you never know if we might play as the foundations side or not
frozen cobalt
~~Yeah, but the US Military is one~~
Too hard to execute US Marines
silver sedge
We might, it would be cool too tbh
silver sedge
Too hard to execute US Marines
Got it, we will use the space force

We might, it would be cool too tbh
It might be used to explain the other side
the other side being the foundation

Also about that image, no I think it is 100% someone leaning on a railing
willow flame
If we can find someway to unfuck the image, would be cool, but I have no ideas
silver sedge
I mean, we could ask AI
Not fun
But if literally none of us are smart enough
However, it most likely will reveal itself at somepoint in time
If we do not solve it
Expecially if it is just a teaser
willow flame
True, but it would be cool if we do solve it
willow flame
What was it again?
silver sedge
"planted.png"
willow flame
Hmm
silver sedge
But my bet
Two things that photo could be
- It is a photo from SL3 testing on 610
- It is a photo from NSIS-4 testing on 610
Or well I guess also
3. It is just a dead body infront of fire
silver sedge
Tbh I think that is alluding to the fact that everything here was planted
willow flame
Could be as in something or someone was planted
silver sedge
For us to find
willow flame
True
silver sedge
Could be as in something or someone was planted
Pentacle
Saying it was only on this server
And only the UIU could "confirm" that it was real
It 100% was a targeted attack to them
Because they were snooping to much
willow flame
True enough
silver sedge
Its the only logical way to get them to stop, as if you just
Kill em
That would just sound every alarm bell ever
willow flame
Gotta go back to work now, but yah
silver sedge
Get their friends to turn on them, no one is of the wiser
Also I bet the "three-legged race" could refer to the now three parties in this universe
Who would win
UIU
Foundation
or faultline
silver sedge
I think its
Also true
That is most likely it
However you could also concider that faultline is the entity. As all normal humans
Are by proxy the entity
But then again the UIU would also be
The entity
So yeah that makes no sense
frozen cobalt
The entity is a god that plans to use humans for future evil plans, humans arent conciously proxies nor tools of the entity
silver sedge
Also technically not true, we don't know what the entity is
Or if it even is the same one from 5000
frozen cobalt
best explanation that it is a god
frozen cobalt
true
silver sedge
That feeds off emotion
What it wants to do with humans, that is unknown
And plus, saying it hasn't done anything with them from when humans started existing
Kinda proves it most likely is just either feeding off emotion and pain, or just watching the world like a movie
full rivet
Or if it even is the same one from 5000
No, it is
It might be a different interpretation than what Tanhony had, but Tanhony's interpretation wasn't really presented in 5000
It's following everything that's actually there in the article
full rivet
Also I bet the "three-legged race" could refer to the now three parties in this ...
A three-legged race involves two people
Maybe it's saying its the Foundation & 3125 vs Faultine & IT
Though I'm not at all confident with that
frozen cobalt
Tell me if you see anything in any of these
To be honest It looks like a heavily distorted graph
full rivet
Tell me if you see anything in any of these
again, it's definitely pixel sorted
frozen cobalt
Oh I didnt see you say that
frozen cobalt
I know cal said this might be a pixel count thing but smoothing it out looks like another version of 173

frozen cobalt
It doesnt even look similar to a rorchact test
Rorchact tests are symmetrical and in black and white

Imagine we manage to unscramble it and it just says “made you look!”

silver sedge
It could also be another photo from ingame tbh
silver sedge
Looks more like a weird tentacle monster to me, I'm with calliope, I don't think...
Gonna be honest bro… that sounds like a SCP
It might be 610
Or could be like a distorted fire
south fractal
I don't believe it's a SCP that we have already seen, if it is to be a scp.
south fractal
That right hand side part of the image is w/e it is right up close to the "front" of the image.
Thats 2 seperate things in that image in front of the background.
silver sedge
I mean to be honest, it could be both a SCP and a ingame screenshot
It could be a screenshot with like 7528 edited in
Then distorted
south fractal
I can't say for sure, but i just had a real good look at it. It's definitely 2 things in front of the red. One in the distance, one in your face.
Going on color is could be a redesign of the infesters (infectors?)
silver sedge
It could also be a scientist
silver sedge
Yeah in my opinion 1 is either a infector, a scientist in a hazmat suit, or maybe a new 173 model
frozen cobalt
2 could be a figure watching 1
silver sedge
I personally am leaning towards a hazmat suit
full rivet
Don't know where you're seeing 173 or an infector or a hazmat suit
frozen cobalt
2 looks like a class D
full rivet
To me it looked like a face being covered up by either tentacles or segmented legs

Yeah I can also kinda see that
south fractal
And these still bother me. (Cut outs of what looks to be the numbers)
frozen cobalt
Those are definetly numbers scribbled on something
silver sedge
It could also be numbers just in the image
full rivet
And these still bother me. (Cut outs of what looks to be the numbers)
Doesn't look like a font of any kind
silver sedge
Not on an object
full rivet
You're probably just making out patterns in the pixel sort
south fractal
True, but when have we ever not dived at a "clue" xD
frozen cobalt
Doesn't look like a font of any kind
Scribbled numbers
not fonts
Scribbled
Doesnt have to be a font
full rivet
Scribbled numbers
Well we have no real way to get those numbers then
silver sedge
I mean, it might also be they don’t want us to unscramble it. Saying that no one has dropped anything about it yet
south fractal
You know they are watching.
silver sedge
As if it is just a teaser, why wouldn’t they help us?
south fractal
frozen cobalt
just following the numbers outline
south fractal
I tried that but my eyes are not the best and my hand not the steadiest.
Every time i added a number it just became more difficult for me to discern the rest. But i think others may have better luck there.
full rivet
I'm pretty sure there's nothing we can do with it, again, pixel sorting is destructive, we can't get the original image unless they give us the original image
Or there's somewhere we can get the original image
There were several images from the 0.17 phase that we couldn't do anything at all with
south fractal
Anyway i am off to bed. Will have another look-see tomorrow.
willow flame
My best bet was our original thoughts, pray the Arg isn't over, and if we get rid of 7528 the image will replace itself

He either means it is stupidly obvious what it is meant to be or how to unscramble it

A WHOLE voice line about the fithiest god?

Too much references to 5's to ignore
Five is refering to "Five, Five, Five, Five, Five."
An anti-memetics story
full rivet
Five is refering to "Five, Five, Five, Five, Five."
No it's referring to five
silver sedge
Or what are we talking about here
The number five
Or the constant 555555s we are seeing
full rivet
The number five, which is divine in the SCP wiki
frozen cobalt
and the 55555 time on the ARG log talking to dr white
silver sedge
and the 55555 time on the ARG log talking to dr white
555555 is referncing the anti-memtics story, five itself is just five
full rivet
555555 is referncing the anti-memtics story, five itself is just five
It's also referencing the number five as well
TINAD is about fifthism as well
silver sedge
Well, regardless I don't think it is relevant to the image
full rivet
the primary antagonist of TINAD is the fifthist god
silver sedge
the primary antagonist of TINAD is the fifthist god
Huh, haven't read all of it yet, so I didn't know that one
But also yeah holy shit that image is so much larger than it should be
full rivet
The metadata has a different resolution listed than the image
Doesn't really clear up the image though
silver sedge
I just was thinking that
As the image doesn't scale
Like all the other images on the page
It wont get bigger than it is if you have a bigger screen
Okay well my other idea, surprisingly, isn't there. There isnt another image in the image file
silver sedge
Okay a bit wonky, this is the resolution it says in the file
So if it was made in that, it would be sideways
Or half of it would be clipped off
Oh wai tnevermind
I am just an idiot and put it in backwards
full rivet
Yeah, it's just bigger
silver sedge
Yeah, it's just bigger

Human Condition is most likely referencing some sort of SCP at first glance (Mostly from the line in the eye itself), especially because A12 is a biohazardous containment site
Fold might be some sort of concept art or a photo from the game just with a really strong filter, as it really just looks like a room with some things knocked over and maybe a flare.
The A12 logo looks like a rug, especially because its a dated screenshot I doubt that is a document or something.
The hallway I think is just a teaser of something WIP, mostly because it doesn't look as "OH FUCK" as you see in the rest of A12 so far.
