not a whole lot here

#

have an idea, probably nothing though

real plaza
#

also, did you try the line from the seizing thing with the vertical line on 67?

real plaza
exotic quiver
#

I think someone had mentioned that these two should line up on Josh's arm.
The arm is faintly seen in is face... I'll see if I can get this

#

it's not lining up, but I'm trying to figure out if anything can be sitting right in this spot once it is lined up:

#

i still want to know whats going on in the grass here

#

There are deef rabbit holes in the grass, beware!

#

Can someone find this arm for me? (or tree or something)

regal oxideBOT
real plaza
#

does anyone know where this was taken? bowery ballroom maybe?

lucid valley
exotic quiver
#

yeah still don't see it

lucid valley
#

The two lines are the same: left contour of his arm

exotic quiver
#

I might be trying the wrong spot

#

it just seems like josh has too much definition in that picture (dudes jacked man! lol)

lucid valley
#

I’m not sure if it’s not only a stain/grunge overlay

#

You can see it at the top with more contrast

real plaza
#

i thought i had it with the guitar case

#

but i don't think it lines up... i tried it flipped horizontal and its so close

exotic quiver
#

it's been puzzling me for a while. I see a long skinny arm all the way through the image. What looks like a 'bracelet' / tyler's tatto at the top along the wrist.

#

they did a good job messing with this one

real plaza
#

i don't think it's an arm

#

the proportions are off...

#

this looks like josh's collar

exotic quiver
#

I think that goes to his face right above it

real plaza
#

i have an obsession with tylers shoulder tape... it's perfectly symmetrical everywhere except here, and the logo lines up

Hey all looking at Scaled and Icy and I'm 99% sure there is a secret message hidden in the scales on the inside cover... did anyone ever figure this out

#

Flipped it upside down.... definitely seeing a Y and 5

#

Right side up I'm also finding letters.... does anyone see anything I'm missing

#

Totally meant to post this in theories not DR oops

leaden temple
#

Good morning friends! Has anyone found anything new?

leaden temple

GUYS

real plaza
#

I was looking at the scales… I don’t really see anything, except some of them look like paths? Idk

lucid valley
#

Guys, I was busy elsewhere in 2020 and unfortunately not involved in the LOC ARG. But all the files are archived online and I looked at everything very carefully afterwards. Some of the puzzles were really tricky and there were ciphers like Railfence and Solfa.

With that in mind, I think it's possible that it's harder than we initially thought (my level of concerns 😉
I really can't let go of DR and still suspect they left us something. And I keep coming up with new approaches. But at the moment I'm so busy at work that I can't fully pursue these approaches.
I therefore hope that one of you can take on this task.

We know that there are 2 doubles and a lot more pretty similar pages.
What if the doubles were the hint to identify all pages which could be twins? Like in the game MEMORY (Digital Remains!). Ty also mentioned the “FLASHBACK” before the final fight.
If you then take all these page numbers next to each other and convert them to letters, maybe there will form a sentence vertically…
Example:
the two tower pages, the two circled Clancy pages etc. pp.
14-92 A D I B
59-90 E I I O
From here there are oc many other ideas possible.
What do you think?

lucid valley
#

Maybe someone could create a collaborative google sheet.
Additional thoughts:

  • if we decode the digits one by one there are only the letters A to I possible. That could mean we sometimes have to see which combination makes more sense (eg 19 = AI or S)
  • in purely mathematical terms, 60 pairs are possible (disregarding the title) and maybe we don’t need all
  • the occurrence of the zero could mean we must consider hex codes (if we don’t translate it to the letter O)
  • we of course don’t know yet if we must arrange the pairs with ascending numbers
  • maybe we also need anagrams later in the hunt
  • It will certainly often be difficult to agree on what can really be categorised as a couple. That's why I find it the easiest way to use a spreadsheet with many columns (I hate spreadsheets lol), if there isn’t a better solution.

I was thinking about how you tried different grids, and I was wondering if you tried different number orders for the layout? For example, naturally we would probably start left to right (1-11 in the first row). I’m curious if you tried different ways

lucid valley
lucid valley
real plaza
#

Oh yes I am into that

#

But I have to read it slower to fully understand what you are thinking lol

lucid valley
#

It’s the first time for me that there is a clear connection to DR content

lucid valley
real plaza
#

no it is

#

i have to read things twice to get it, that's all lol

#

i wonder if we could consider the lyric pages obvious pairs?

lucid valley
#

Dunno, and then which ones? We should start with the most obvious ones. As I said, maybe we don’t need all of them (only 11, 14 or 25 😉

#

If only I had the time!! I would reverse engineer the process like expecting an URL translate .com to numbers etc.

lucid valley
#

Doesn't it look like a memory game spread out on the table?

real plaza
#

I’ll take some time tonight if the kids aren’t up late haha

exotic quiver
#

Here’s a silly idea, take all photos of Josh (or Tyler) and order them based on the direction he is facing.

real plaza
#

A clue that we are looking for pairs is from the PS teaser - we needed 2 pairs for the url and password, so will more pairs get us somewhere??

#

Or another thought… maybe it’s not just pairs but “groups” like how more than 2 images fit together… idk I’m thinking out loud

lucid valley
#

Which was most likely not intentional, but was used by them AFTER the puzzlers got to that point.
Also: To stay with the MEMORY game, it probably makes the most sense to find pairs first. Otherwise it is too overloaded right from the start. We can always expand if necessary.

#

I will start a new thread so we can concentrate there. I also invited the guys from the Code Cracking server and they wanna start a VC Thursday or Friday to dive in.

exotic quiver
#

@lucid valley Not seeing your forum, so I'll post some stuff here for your memory theory.

When it comes to pairs, the lyrics have pairs. Some songs have more than just 2 pages, but sticking with the pattern of 1 page in between, you have these:

30-32: Next Semester
44-46: Backslide
52-54: Midwest Indigo
68-70: Vignette
98-100: Oldies Station

numbers in between would be:
31, 45, 53, 69, 99
4,9,8,15,18
4,9,8,6,9

One thing to note
19-21: These aren't the same song, but are in a similar pattern (Overcompensate and Backslide)

#

31 - Next Semester
45 - Overcompensate/Backslide
53 - Midwest Indigo
66 - Vignette
99 - Oldies Station

#

and each one, aside from 45 overcompensate/backslide, is an image from the MV

#

I'm now curious about this combo of songs: overcompensate/backslide

lucid valley
#

Thnx dude, didn’t have the time yet.
It will get tough to decide what common category the pairs should follow besides obvious visual ones. So „same song“ is a potential category but I don’t know

exotic quiver
#

20 - Overcompensate/Backslide - has to be related

lucid valley
#

Do you have the time/skills to set up a collaborative tool like google sheets for us to work in?

If we see other patterns emerging we can always go back

found something

#

i can try to share with a screenshot...

#

these are the lyrics pages. the only pair that doesnt follow the pattern is 19-21 (overcomp/BS)

#

please feel free to check my math

#

also, worth noting ATROFD is not 2 pages apart, but 3

lucid valley
exotic quiver
real plaza
#

its not legit, i'm so sorry 😫

#

and i had a typo

rare cairn
#

@real plaza overcomp/BS does follow the pattern - 19+21 = 40, not 30

#

Btw this is not a special pattern, the numbers will always be reduced down to the same single number, no matter how you add them together (19 + 21 or 1 + 9 + 2 + 1), and this will happen for any sequence of numbers, not just these ones

#

Ahhhh sorry I see the thread in the memory puzzle now, my bad!

I get it! I've been really deep into the weird image filenames on the TOP homepage and I keep thinking I found something just to learn that it's nothing :/

I’m on my mobile on DR, and when I zoom into page 11 it pixelates… and it makes an interesting pattern. When I zoom into the page above as you see, it doesn’t do that. 🤔

#

This one bothers me for so many reasons, I think it’s the weirdest photo

#

And it’s number 11^2

timber marten
#

i really can't make much of the blur on the edge of the image but i did find another angle on his tattoo

real plaza
#

The blue stripes are like definitely stripes when you look closely at the photo… maybe it’s a shirt? It does still look like someone’s shoulder/arm to me

sacred sigil
#

I agree it definitely looks like stripes and not Josh’s tattoos. But now that I’m really looking, I’m not sure it’s an arm. Look at the bottom. I originally thought that was a hand but now I’m not so sure. The shape isn’t right.

#

The stuff Tyler is coming up out looks like either like wood shavings or maybe some kind of hay or straw to me. It makes me think of a hayloft in a barn. It might have a hole in the floor that climb up through using a ladder.

Anyway maybe that shape is some kind of animal or piece of furniture? If it’s wood shavings maybe there’s a clue in the craving single ver mv?

#

Hm just rewatched and I don’t see anything.

real plaza
#

The stuff does look like woods shavings, and also reminds me of that crinkly paper packing material

#

The more I zoom in the less it even looks like a thing… like, it looks like it’s actually behind whatever the black is, if that makes sense?

its just the way it pixelated

it doesn't quite match with his arm

I think it’s the PS video, someone pointed out once that it looks like Clancy coming out of the manhole in Dema and I just watched it and there is some of that wood shred stuff on the ground at that moment. I had to watch at .25 speed to be sure lol

im not quite up to date but is there any put-together (at least as much as we know) puzzle? if there isn't then i don't really know if this is accomplishing much...

the original board got flooded with trollers so it's probably not the answer but lmk if otherwise

real plaza
#

can we make tyler's next semester shirt match the cat in the hat?

#

also are there any theories about what 73 is?

Do we already know what these graphics mean in the bottom right corner of page 26?

#

Also: did someone compare the journal and DR and which images are in both?

real plaza
#

I thought I posted this here but guess not... I was looking for pairs, and I was messing with number 120 (the all red image) and it reminded me of those kids decoder puzzles, where you put the red plastic over a picture and you see secret messages.

#

This also reminds me of that ☝️

real plaza

#

found something guys. hopefully i can show it with screenshots

#

120 and 109 have some dots that line up

#

so here we have 120 in "difference" mode (idk, in figma it's one of the image options) and 109 in "hard light" mode. i found these easiest to spot the dots

#

zoomed in, there are the dots, if i move 120 to cover 109 they line up perfect

lucid valley
#

Haha, that’s what I did in DR Memory. These two go together (for me)

#

Firstly, I have a few questions- i’ve never attended a show before, but i’m willing to bet that they will play clips of the digital remains

hollow plover
#

That’s a good thought I bet that could happen

jaunty thorn
#

like that honestly might be what ends up cracking this

#

or like- what if the placement of the |-/ in the DR is relevant to the screens in the show

#

Do they play clips like that at shows?

#

I’ve seen clips like that

hollow plover
jaunty thorn
#

like hypothetically with this one - if a screen shows the logo on that side looking like that - we use this to reference

#

or possibly seeing an extended vision of this shot

mmmmm interesting

#

have we got anymore that we can work with?

#

im down to keep digging

stuck osprey
#

seems legit my man let goooo

timber marten
#

kind of makes me think of this quote from the zane lowe trench interview

"Then I realized that it's all about jurisdiction. There's certain places that I'll be -- whether it's mentally or physically -- where he has jurisdiction. If I can try to leave those places -- if I can try to stay away from those places -- then he starts to lose a little more of a grip and control of me. That's what Trench was, and what it is."

#

like blurryface is endemial to certain places maybe? or could be referring to the banditos or the neds even

#

could fit with the part of RitN that talks about the the doors

like behind those doors is where blurryface, insecurity, depression, etc. are lurking i assume

lucid valley
#

v-o-lds-o-y decodes to “arear” which makes also sense

lucid valley
#

But no one did that before? I’m flabbergasted lol

#

im not too sure you kno w

#

the deatheaters one has been around for so long someone mightve come across it once

but i think it could be another clue

Could the 8 birds represent the 8 bishops still existing?

#

Which is why they spaced it out thru DR, maybe relating a deeper meaning to the pic it’s in

timber marten
#

this is probably a dumb question but how do yall decide where to put the spaces when you do morse code? Just try the spaces in different places til you find something that makes sense? i see what you're doing as far as converting letters to dots and underscores to dashes

yes i know spaces go between letters in morse code 😅 was trying to figure out how to place the spaces when trying to decode the file names from dmaorg

i got

_note = tie
w-eap-ø-n = rear

the others i tried either had too many possible matches or no words i was able to recognize

Hmmmmm that's very interesting. I wonder if we find all of these words if they spell out a hidden message

#

If we REALLY try to answer their question from the letter (if it was a major hint): „How did you find h t t p : / /….“
there were 2 steps in 2018:

  1. someone discovered a changed gif and by adding the changed frames they got the URL. But it had that cryptic part
  2. we decoded that part in connecting the 9 dots to the BF album song order (which was already published in the Violation code, when opening dmaorg).
    So, what if we combine the Clancy album songs „in an order that is new“ (pun indented). And that’s the new code? Maybe all these number hints were a help for this new code?

Maybe it’s a little bit more difficult and they also want us to find another page name (instead of clancy.html)

#

Like dragpath.html

#

Yesterday I tried all songs from their YouTube Clancy playlist with their appropriate album‘s song number e.g. Jumpsuit as 1.
But were too tired to follow this approach

timber marten
#

lol torchbearer.html? idk

uneven dune

Or just guesses?

lucid valley

Just guesses, pieces of guesses, smithereens of guesses

#

There are 11 songs on „The Story“ playlist

NATN - 9 (on Trench)
LVT - 2 (on Trench)
SA- 3 (on SAI)

Also how about all the Goner clues

#

The main part was the Violation code

maybe it’s something like:

what other song order could make sense? I‘m on the road and can barely type

Yeah I’m still confused. I’ll look it up

timber marten

maybe iac is 0?

timber marten
#

just tried 0119235419_13 it wasn't that either

real plaza
#

What if The song numbers are from the digital remains

#

I’m at work I don’t have my laptop to try it

#

Or the song order is from the alternate tracklist in the digital remains

timber marten
#

maybe I can look into that later

#

i am also at work right now and limited on what i can do but have we tried rotating the blurryface cover like the compass? that would be 3, 6, 14, 5, 8, 2, 1, 9, 4

BUT I am thinking of the animated bf cover. I have the directions of the rotations of each circle drawn out at home

lucid valley

The rotation CCW was already in the BF cover

timber marten

#

Are there other lists of songs that come in mind? Idk if the yt playlist is the only legit take, just my first thought (also bc of the 11!)
And which order could make sense?

i just tried the alternate set list from DR, didn't work

#

Can you pls post it here? Thnx. Is it the order the songs appear in the DR pages?

#

OH what about the setlists from evening with TOP?

that would include song s from other albums but maybe?

the set lists are posted in the top wiki

specifically the show at newport music hall (columbus) would be much of interest

okay here is what i did with the alternate tracklist from image 48 in DR

Ah ok THAT alternate list. I had in mind the order the songs are in portrayed by the pages

oh im doing that too

#

actually, it looks like they are portrayed in order, but i want to try using the image numbers

timber marten
#

there's been a lot of hidden messages in the letters that haven't been used or figured out yet right? fly by is a lyric in overcompensate but is it something other than that? follow the torches hasn't been used for anything to my knowledge.

talking about the track numbers/violation code do you guys think we might be able to use the blurryface track numbers that aren't part of the code for something (7, 10, 11, 12, 13)?

leaden temple

# timber marten talking about the track numbers/violation code do you guys think we might be abl...

I put the missing song numbers in the same pattern as the rest of the numbers (odd first, then even) and typed the whole thing into the dma org link but all I got was the error message. I worked it around several different ways but nothing worked. I also tried just 11 in the place where the underscore is to see if all the 11s Tyler has been hinting at were for that but that also didn't get anywhere. I also tried all of this backwards and nothing

timber marten
lucid valley
#

A question regarding the drag path lyrics to you native English speakers:
afaik one wouldn't use the verb "to etch" in the context of marks left by dragging feet, would you? I only know the word in connection with acid etching or in the context of art as etching.
And the word "surface" doesn't really seem appropriate here either, as it tends to be associated with a much smoother surface . In contrast to the rather coarse traces that heels would leave in snow or mud, the word "etched surface" seemed to me from the outset to indicate a much finer trace. Which reminds me more of carving into a wall, for example.

#

Now thinking about that finer path, „that leads to my prison“ I want to suggest two ideas:

  1. the term „path“ is used in the URL context:
    „The pathname property of the URL interface represents a location in a hierarchical structure. It is a string constructed from a list of path segments, each of which is prefixed by a / character. If the URL has no path segments, the value of its pathname property will be the empty string.“
    (interesting that it mentions the slash /, which was missing in Tyler‘s post in the livestream chat and was the whole time my main indicator, that we should search something online)

  2. are there graphical structures in the DR images that reminds of traces, etchings, that we have overlooked? The second title he gave these lyrics was „Devil‘s eyes“ and we‘ve got a lot images with a focus on eyes.

timber marten
lucid valley
#

Exactly

timber marten
#

i have a theory that nico has somehow been watching clancy this whole time but that doesn't really help uncover new info

lucid valley
#

I mean we have only tried a couple of URLs

#

And like you I‘m thinking the solution (if any exists at all) won’t be as complicated as we thought of sometimes. It deserves „only“ the right mindset to puzzle the given hints together lol.

timber marten
# lucid valley I mean we have only tried a couple of URLs

yeah i was trying to think of some other possibilities to try out
not sure what other numbers we might try but i was thinking of trying other names in place of clancy? torchbearer, bishop names (i doubt if it'd be clifford or ned or trash but maybe?)

lucid valley

Just use my script to automate variations 😉

I think the answer has got to be in the digital remains

timber marten
# lucid valley

not relevant to the current discussion but i find this part where he's just laying on the ice so funny for some reason lol

real plaza
#

okay i thought of something else

#

what if 11 is the number of characters in the url.... what would we call it, the path name? where the violation code is?

timber marten
real plaza
#

Yeah i guess it is, without the underscore

#

I was thinking of trying every song with a music video image in the DR, and that’s 12346891112 (correct me if I’m wrong), which is 11 digits… it doesn’t work in that order, but maybe it’s something to play with…

#

Oh wait duh with the underscore the violation code is 11 characters

timber marten
#

tyler has also been wearing the violation code lately but idk if that's noteworthy as a far as decoding/the puzzle goes since we already have the violation code

lucid valley
#

Could you find any „carving/etching“ in the DR images?

#

I saved it as .html . Can’t you open it in browser?
It has to have the dothtml as file type

not really an etching thing but what do we think about the rope or string or whatever from page 119 (clancy ultimus capitulus 25 page)

These are the tweets I was thinking of, about the music videos

ahhhhh poooooo

#

of course binary is too simple for them 🥲

timber marten
#

we all think alike though lol at least 3 of us had the thought of trying binary

stuck osprey

just for reference though:

Octal: 1044004210042520500524504512

ASCII: '\x19WY=M\x1bS\x0bGc\x1e\x12\x06'

Hexidecimal: 22 40 22 20 45 50 A0 55 28 95 5

#

no clue lmaoooo

#

ooooooo

#

"@ "EP U(_

#

again

#

nothing lmaoooo

timber marten
#

I'm gonna look at the morse code idea later i think
and potentially test the left right sideswiped thing to see if anything comes from that

stuck osprey

#

could this be pages we need?

#

ah buggar, it has an AO

#

i can dream

timber marten
#

lol

stuck osprey
#

ohhh shit do we need to use like a reversed caesar cipher

#

like reverse rotation and not forwards like usual

#

or maybe put it in backwards idk

lucid valley
#

Guys, don’t you read what happened bf? We shouldn’t do things twice 😉

#

Decoding things row by row COULD be an approach but keep in mind to divide a row morse string in multiple strings to get different solutions.

Last row backwards „ENTICED“

lucid valley

#

Basically nothing is coming of it

leaden temple

#

It comes from “panning for gold” if you know what that means?

#

Sifting out all the dirt so you are left with gold

timber marten
#

basically if something doesn't pan out it just means it's not working or you're not finding anything

leaden temple
#

I love that we all answered him 🤣

#

Thanks a lot guys ❤️

#

I can‘t remember in which row but I had TRIAL also

#

Or better (bc u all identify with she/her): thnx a lot gals!

#

Saw 2 shooting stars this evening. Should give us plenty of luck haha

#

Dunno if you can see these meteors in the US.

#

It’s 2 pm where I am so no 😆

#

But maybe later? I haven’t heard of a meteor shower lately….

#

This time zone thing always confuses me somehow although I think I was good in math lol

stuck osprey
#

oh wait no wrong time zone hahaha

#

no i get that completely

#

one of my old school friends was kinda dull in the head, she thought that when it was night time in the UK, it was nighttime everywhere grief

timber marten
stuck osprey
#

explained time zones to her one time and i swear she looked like i’d just told her santa wasn’t real grief

lucid valley
#

I visited NYC last autumn and to communicate with friends was hell of a mess

timber marten
#

also my best friend has lived in South Korea for the past 3 years and it's a whole 14 hour difference between us currently so i just have a dual clock on my phone so I can check what time it is for her lol

lucid valley
#

Now something completely different (Monty Pythons):
there is an obvious parallel between the journal and DR with motifs they share. Have we looked into that enough?

stuck osprey
#

mmmmmmmmmm

#

i don’t think we have

lucid valley
#

It could be a normal design thing (like all of it aaaargh)

stuck osprey
#

in the words of tyler joseph, where do i go from here grief

#

should we make a spreadsheet of things that have been tried or something

lucid valley
#

I mean the motifs they used in both should be more important.

stuck osprey
#

i’m guessing for a lot of ideas, they’re being skipped over or repeated, which means we aren’t quite getting to the ending that we need run

#

i think there’s definitely patterns that we may have brushed over

#

also tyler used latin for the final post on the digital remains, could that infer that we need to be seeking out latin words and not english in what we decode?

#

makes it 10000 times more difficult if so

#

also, why does tyler reference voldemort in his thanks in the album?

#

could a puzzle part be within the album itself(?)

#

are there differences within the albums(?) considering there are so many pressings and variants(??

lucid valley
#

When I was still doing research, at least I always had clear results. The interpretation is something else. But here we are poking about in the fog.

stuck osprey
#

mmmm that’s very very true

#

with the strong inference to death eaters again, do you think that could be a hint as to what we should be looking for?

lucid valley
stuck osprey
#

that man had us literally running around in circles

lucid valley
stuck osprey
#

i’ve never been so hung up on a puzzle before

#

the LOC stuff was easy in comparison

#

but then again i was like a child so had infinite time to fuck around grief

#

now i’m a big girl with a job that drains me hollow

lucid valley
#

Btw last night I was thinking again about „drag path“ and compared it to the ridges in a vinyl where you have two (stereo) tracks in one and the needle is dragging…

stuck osprey
#

that’s very true

#

drag path would be a good analogy for that

#

eyo hang on a minute

#

overcompensate, it’s what some people do when they’ve lost control of a car and they try to overcompensate on the steering to make the car go the way they want

#

more often than not it causes you to crash harder because you’ve tried to hard to rectify the steering

#

of course on a dangerous bend aswell, it’s not looking good

#

i still think there’s a larger motif with the cars

#

especially with tyler being in the garage having his hair shaved again

lucid valley
#

And you’re driving as if you follow that dangerous bend zigzag, right

stuck osprey
#

yes yes!

#

is tyler the car?

#

brum brum beep beep

#

i knew he wanted to be lighting mcqueen

#

buuuuut

#

tyler isn’t the one driving the car, he’s always the passenger

The start of jumpsuit…

stuck osprey
#

oooooooooo

#

i loved that music video

#

honestly trench got me GOIN

#

jumpsuit was so so so good

#

but anyways, we digress

lucid valley
#

There’s a cut scene, where embers are flying around… then they morph to petals

stuck osprey
#

do we need to follow the antlers in the post like we followed the petals?

#

i feel like we’re just missing something fundamental for the end of the puzzle

lucid valley
#

FOLLOW THE TORCHES!

#

Tbh I only count 3 antlers in the collage

stuck osprey
#

i thought there were 6(?)

#

but i’m as blind as a bat

lucid valley
#

Dunno where the 6 is coming from. Apparently people who were there have count 6

stuck osprey
#

of course we can follow the torches, but is it too easy?

#

what about the birds

lucid valley
stuck osprey
#

not the best at all grief

#

i’m like mmmm pretty colours

#

i haven’t been able to find anything on the web in terms of dema

#

is there another site do you maybe think?

#

like a new one, surely there must be something lurking somewhere

#

i highly doubt the dema org site shall continue to be used after clancy(?) especially if the story is ending or developing

lucid valley
#

Dude, that’s what we are looking for since weeks!

stuck osprey
#

it’s a new chapter

#

hehehehhe

#

okay so i’ve finally caught up grief

#

the downside is, websites aren’t easy to pluck apart and have lots of trial and errors with trying to find the right one

#

don’t really want anyone to stumble onto anything sinister

#

i used an XML site map on the dema site to see what published pages there were; there’s nothing new on there since paladin strait

#

at least not published pages anyway

#

i doubt anything will possibly be posted for a while

#

also, are we sure there’s definitely something we’re missing or are we truly poking around in the fog?

#

there’s always that doubt in the back of my head hahaha

lucid valley
#

You won’t find hidden pages with a simple xml sitemap

stuck osprey
#

i ain’t saying it was a simple one Happy

#

eheheheh heeheegiggle

lucid valley
#

That’s the point: maybe there is nothing to find. But I love these kind of riddles and I‘m learning so many new things on that trip

stuck osprey
#

that is very true

#

it’s also nice to see how people’s brains approach things!

#

of course i’m stupid as fuck now grief

#

my head is filled with microsoft excel sheets grief

#

freak in the sheets heeheegiggle

#

i wonder if we’re looking for code

#

like actual code, html, python, etc etc

#

what’s your verdict on tyler’s & his PR crews knowledge on such?

lucid valley
stuck osprey
#

OH DUDE

#

lavish is 10000% about the music industry

timber marten
#

you guys i got so excited bc i thought it might be braille 😭

#

i think i was wrong 💀

stuck osprey
#

penny loafer squeak , some new shoed twerp that’s coming to tel you wether or not you can have a record deal despite knowing nothing about music

stuck osprey
#

i hadn’t thought of braille i won’t lie

lucid valley
stuck osprey
#

maybe braille is worth a deep dive into(?)

#

i doubt many of us have explored it like we have with morse(?)

#

could put the death eaters into braille and see what it throws(?)
