[delicate night]

that could be possible

VC anyone?

[cedar venture]

Im about to shower

[shrewd yarrow]

Workin

[cedar venture]

So no can do

[snow perch]

How would the numbers connect to Intheend?

[delicate night]

^

[harsh vortex]

dear god

i didnt think of that

fzsnkdnm = intheend with trifid cipher with no key 5 group size (which is how it was done before)

gwvslwfb - vignere using cryptii
uefipevz - beaufort " "
kerwxmvf - variant beaufort " "

[delicate night]

@rigid sphinx ?

[rigid sphinx]

No to both

[delicate night]

[radiant sonnet]

[cedar venture]

Oaughh

Was thinking about how the idea seems to be going from the bottom set of numbers in the image, to the set above it

[delicate night]

yeah it was a good theory

[snow perch]

@rigid sphinx would this be what you consider “tackling a cipher a different way”?

[cedar venture]

Uh, this is probably stupid as hell, but what if we did z1a26

Or z0a25

[snow perch]

I would be angry, but it’s plausible

I’m going to mow my lawn now

Godspeed

[cedar venture]

Damn, my man really rage mowing, that’s a new one

Hope it’s not too hot out lol

[radiant sonnet]

Rage mowing must be fun

Put some DOOM soundtrack

And mow it down

[cedar venture]

That’d go hard

DUSK soundtrack is also applicable, made by the same composer that did the modern doom soundtracks

[harsh vortex]

rage meowing

[snow perch]

[shrewd yarrow]

Or intheend are missing letters

Or missing words

[snow perch]

Stupid lawn mower

[rigid sphinx]

So

Both of the stings provided in the Twitter hint

Are intheend

[harsh vortex]

wrong button sorry hntr

[delicate night]

all good, nice mod collection btw

[snow perch]

I was right??????

[harsh vortex]

hmm

[snow perch]

Cool

[radiant sonnet]

Lawn mower WOOO

[snow perch]

No

Stupid mower WOO

[radiant sonnet]

[harsh vortex]

bonch?

[radiant sonnet]

I like the emoji

Bonch go hard

[harsh vortex]

i wonder what it means

[radiant sonnet]

Also it’s 6am havent slept since 1pm

[radiant sonnet]

Time 2 google

Oh

[snow perch]

So we just gotta figure out the how the numbers translate to In the end

It should tell us what cipher

[radiant sonnet]

So if bonch means what it means

That’s…something

[cedar venture]

You guys want to try z0/z1-a25/a26?

Just for shits and giggles

[delicate night]

simple substitution cipher is what im getting

[snow perch]

I’m out of ideas, so sure. I’m gonna be brainstorming after

[delicate night]

ill keep trying

a1z26

[shrewd yarrow]

Entheend

[delicate night]

fuck im stupid

[shrewd yarrow]

Nah your not just used the wrong number

[delicate night]

hold on

[shrewd yarrow]

There we go

[radiant sonnet]

Better spelled

[snow perch]

Let’s try looped z1

[shrewd yarrow]

.

[delicate night]

thats most likely incorrect

[shrewd yarrow]

[snow perch]

just realized it can't be z1a because 5=I and 2=I

and z1a would mean y = 1

[shrewd yarrow]

Then its gotta be gwen

[snow perch]

9 needs to equal I

unless its an odd variation

IS THIS KAMINSTITUTION?

[delicate night]

NEW TABLE DROP?

[snow perch]

its gotta be a new cipher

then we tranlate to one we know

[shrewd yarrow]

Oh god Kaminsky is field testing his homebrew

[snow perch]

if its supposedly the end of the tutorial, he'd prob introduce his new cipher drop

I call it Kaminstitution

[rigid sphinx]

Mine is more dickish than Gwyn

[snow perch]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

GOD DAMN IT

HNTR AND I ARENT TWEAKING THOUGH

[ebon summit]

have fun guys lol

[delicate night]

KAMINSKY WHYYYYYYY

[shrewd yarrow]

pulls out japaense cutting board and knife ok which finger do i get to take

[snow perch]

which unborn child must I sacrifice

[delicate night]

variation of gwynnstitution? @rigid sphinx

[snow perch]

A new way to do gwynn?????? "A new way to do a cipher we know?"

[harsh vortex]

the substitution must alter, maybe its a mix of gwynn and caesar?

somehow

[delicate night]

[snow perch]

Kaminsky if thats what you meant by "a new way to do a cipher we already know." I stg

[rigid sphinx]

That's all y'all are gonna get from me until I'm back from vacation

[snow perch]

i hope you stub your toe on the way there

(have fun)

[rigid sphinx]

I was already sick for the first day, which was yesterday

[snow perch]

I can see what you mean by 'Dickish', E means 2 different numbers

[cedar venture]

I hope you don’t have a similar vacation experience to what I had a couple weeks ago lol, i went to south california for like a week, and i shit you not, the DAY of the flight there, I started showing covid symptoms. Thank god I had heavy duty surgical masks, and still had fun on the vacation, but man that shit sucked

And damn, kaminsky really dropped a whole ass new cipher on us

At the very least, we have a portion of it directly given to us

[snow perch]

E = 8,3

D=8???

[real sparrow]

Dickish sounds like this and I don't like it

[shrewd yarrow]

@snow perch i am gonna tell the rest of the fellas what happened

[snow perch]

👍

[cedar venture]

HOLY SHIT, SOMETHING WITH LEADING ZEROS

Those leading zeros have been driving me fucking nuts

[real sparrow]

same

[shrewd yarrow]

prepares his pitchfork and torch

[snow perch]

multiple numbers can't mean the same letter right?

[shrewd yarrow]

No idea

[snow perch]

e=8 but so does d=8

[cedar venture]

Just go with it for now

May help when we have a slightly larger picture to work with

[snow perch]

A:
B:
C:
D:8
E:8, 3
F:

[cedar venture]

Hm

Well at the very least, we have numbers that go above 26, so this is absolutely what we’re working with

[snow perch]

at least we have 2 important vowels

[cedar venture]

True

[snow perch]

too bad we have D though

turns out, D and E have a lot of consecutive uses (e.c suDDenly, bEEn)

"when we don't find a logical option, we tend to go find a stupid one"

[cedar venture]

Lmao

[snow perch]

I know right

so deep

i stole it

[cedar venture]

Damn…

[snow perch]

still holds up though

[cedar venture]

But right now best thing i can think of

Is see if we can put what we now know

Into the large wall of numbers

[snow perch]

its either a really bs version of gwynn which could classify its own cipher, or KAMINSTITUTION

[cedar venture]

And try and like, “reverse engineer” any words

That could give us a bit of leverage

[jovial raven]

Dickstitution

[snow perch]

i changed my mind

i like this one better

[cedar venture]

@snow perch saying very mean things to you for nerd reacting me >:c

[snow perch]

shoot

[cedar venture]

lmao

I didn't think this far tbh

[snow perch]

(go ahead, im not apologizing)

[cedar venture]

pffffft

[snow perch]

you know what moff

[cedar venture]

what lol

[cedar venture]

😭

[snow perch]

what the response?

you can DM it to me if its real mean

then I'll send it in chat and make fun of you

[cedar venture]

I'm not giving one, I'm spending the rest of the night crying in the corner 💔

[snow perch]

because im evil

[jovial raven]

these tears dont fall

[snow perch]

what the FREAK man

[jovial raven]

they crash around me

[cedar venture]

lmfao

[snow perch]

lmaoooo

I think moths are cool fr

[jovial raven]

if this working out so far is correct, we have a very, very dickish cipher indeed

Even just looking at D and E

When a ciphertext character corresponds to multiple plaintext characters we are in big doo doo

[snow perch]

makes me think this is how its supposed to be

a LOT of double consecutive characters iin this puzzle

[left bough]

I N T H E E N D 58 09 H/E 05 N T H/E E/D 60 N 54 N E/D 77

[snow perch]

we know that 3 is E

btw

but thank you

good job

i think these might be double e

[harsh vortex]

holy

progress

[cedar venture]

hell yeah, always nice to see someone else appreciate insects

and damn

[left bough]

this one's probably 2 different words

unless 55 is also D

[snow perch]

maybe

[jovial raven]

This has surely got to be "the"

could be 2 diff words but "the" is the simplest answer

[cedar venture]

the e....

[snow perch]

nd it doesnt even matter

[cedar venture]

not doing an elipses to be funny, more as an "etc."

[cedar venture]

lmao

[left bough]

a 5 letter word after which is another "the"?

"in the end ????? the"

[snow perch]

We should probably look at strings of words that match “The”

[left bough]

there's one at the start of the 6th line

with currently known letters there's only 3 total of those

2 on the 1st line, 1 on the 6th line

[jovial raven]

Possible but I'm also now considering that we could have "DOESNT" right after "INTHEEND"

[left bough]

58 also a D?

oh boy

[jovial raven]

Which could flow into "doesnt he"

[left bough]

that would make 3 have more than 3 different letters

[jovial raven]

If I'm right, this cipher is VERY dickish

[cedar venture]

The thing im genuinely curious about, is that if this is the way we figure it out

How were we SUPPOSED to figure it out 😰

[jovial raven]

I believe our supreme overlord Kaminsky wanted to watch us squirm for a while

[snow perch]

There’s gotta be e some other hint

[harsh vortex]

what if

its all just intheend but looping

[left bough]

[snow perch]

Then it won’t even matter 😔

[harsh vortex]

Perhaps it is the time to accept truth itself? (this quote i keep babbling might make sense then)

[snow perch]

It’s the saying when you’re trying to have an epiphany, it will come in handy and make sense EVENTUALLY, when you do have an epiphany

[shrewd yarrow]

If they ever do.

[shrewd yarrow]

To what give up?

[harsh vortex]

no

[shrewd yarrow]

The EXPLAIN thyself

[harsh vortex]

the truth is reality, sometimes things may seem meaningless, but everything is a stepping stone

[shrewd yarrow]

That explains it no better

[harsh vortex]

it cant really be explained

[shrewd yarrow]

Then stop saying it and start doing something

[harsh vortex]

if you dont get it you dont get it, simple as

[jovial raven]

Have I ever told you the definition of insanity?

[shrewd yarrow]

No i dont think so

[jovial raven]

Insanity is... accepting truth itself

Accept lies instead

[dreamy bloom]

.... then

Perhaps it is the time to accept truth itself?

[jovial raven]

Sounds good tbh

We're all insane here

[open needle]

It's doign the same thing over and over expecting different results no?

Wait that's the actualy defintino

[jovial raven]

Thats the Vaas Montenegro answer yea

[open needle]

Right

[shrewd yarrow]

I already accepted i was insane when i first joined

[cedar venture]

something something fune far cry 3

[open needle]

Lol

[cedar venture]

I still need to play even a single far cry game

also never played gta, or cod

have played halo tho so that's my one saving grace lmao

[open needle]

Yah me neither

I've played halo ce and that's it

It's a travesity Ik but like I'm living the poor life

[shrewd yarrow]

I have played akumu in evil within

[cedar venture]

I've played 1-3, need to finish odst and start reach (the halo fans will crucify me if I don't)

[shrewd yarrow]

xD

[cedar venture]

lmao

[shrewd yarrow]

I never played reach until like... last year?

So ik the feeling

[cedar venture]

lmao

[harsh vortex]

you guys are beginning to understand it

[cedar venture]

I'll eventually make room to reinstall master chief collection

[shrewd yarrow]

That were all clinicly insane?

[cedar venture]

did we get any where else in reverse engineering the cipher?

[shrewd yarrow]

Not to my knowledge.

[cedar venture]

damn

[shrewd yarrow]

I been stuck at work the last 7hrs

[cedar venture]

💔

I hope you can escape from there soon lol

[harsh vortex]

ive been trying to make something from the twitter image work

it has to be like... each number is a cipher?

like 1 3 5 7 would be cipher A and 2 4 6 8 would be B

im gonna keep trying to work something

[snow perch]

Sorry

VAS?

[shrewd yarrow]

42mins

[snow perch]

@harsh vortex

[harsh vortex]

VAS ?

[snow perch]

(What)

What are you talking about?

[harsh vortex]

?????????

[snow perch]

Explain this

[harsh vortex]

like lets say the numbers are 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
ever one number, you switch between two decyphering types

[shrewd yarrow]

.

[shrewd yarrow]

.

[snow perch]

Yeah…not to be rude, but have you read a thing that Kaminsky said?

Or what Hntr, Cider, or I rambled on about?

[harsh vortex]

i have sometimes you forget lol

pain

i will explode

[snow perch]

Even then, with all the clues that are presented, this doesn’t make sense.

At all

Can I give you a little tip? Banned?

[harsh vortex]

no

[snow perch]

Ah man

I swear it’s a good one

[harsh vortex]

i will explode

[snow perch]

Well, I don’t care. Here’s it anyways:

You have invaluable speculatory skills, however you gotta look at some of the stuff Kaminsky sends. Every message he sends is like a message from god himself.

Usually has something useful

[cedar venture]

this pretty much

kaminsky is a beacon in the darkness, you don't gotta go searching in the dark without a torch lol

[snow perch]

Unless it’s the very start of a puzzle 😭

[cedar venture]

[snow perch]

Then Kaminsky is around 1-10 hours business hours late

Probably

[cedar venture]

lmfao

[snow perch]

I’d like to imagine Kaminsky kicking it back in a recliner with a scotch in his hand thinking “yeah, this one will break em’” right after posting the most convoluted hint/puzzle

[shrewd yarrow]

Sounds about right

[dreamy bloom]

can we treat this like wheel of fortune?

hello yes, lily? I'd like to buy a vowel

[shrewd yarrow]

Lol

[snow perch]

Screw you

I was boutta make that joke

But yes 😭😭😭

[dreamy bloom]

[toxic bay]

take sepulchre but remove the 's' 'e' 'u' 'l' 'c' 'h' 'r' 'e' and add 'oop' at the end of it

[harsh vortex]

It all makes sense in the end huh?

[autumn geyser]

Nah

It doesn't even matter

"we"? who's "we"?

[shrewd yarrow]

lol

most of us here

good morning or afternoon outcider

[left bough]

good day

[shrewd yarrow]

how are you doing?

[left bough]

woke up with the number 14 in mind regarding this cipher

[shrewd yarrow]

ah

[left bough]

no idea why

but

if you remove 14 from 98 enoguh times, it becomes 14

[autumn geyser]

full schizo

[shrewd yarrow]

it doesn't matter how hard you try, keep that in mind i designed this rhythm to explain in due time >:)

[shrewd yarrow]

[autumn geyser]

requesting permission to remove kaminskys home from the face of the earth

[delicate night]

In a federal building for work today so I won’t have my phone, but gonna work all night on this new cipher fellas

Good luck and happy hunting

[ebon summit]

praying for your mental state 🙏🥺

[cedar venture]

lmfao

did anyone post what we have so far in trying to "reverse engineer" the cipher so far?

I remember outcider posted part of it, but I thought we did a little more after, so I wasn't sure

[snow perch]

Must lock in

Must lock in

must lock in

[cedar venture]

lmao

[left bough]

that's the one i filled with what theend revealed

this i tried figuring out other words in the text

and filled some other numbers making with an assumption to just force the numbers to fit

i don't know if anyone else did something to it

[cedar venture]

hold on

nvm, I was going to say it looked like part of one line went into the next, but I misread it anyways

we should also maybe make a chart for this as stuff comes along

just in case

[left bough]

"in the end lies others lost"

but that can't be right

it would make 8 have 3 letters

[harsh vortex]

that has to be right tbh

[cedar venture]

I mean, we already have numbers with 2 letters

and "in the end lies others lost" is completely coherent

and also in line with shit Lily would say

keep it and work with it, you've been making susbtantial progress with this

[left bough]

it barely made a dent on the other lines...

[cedar venture]

yeah but

[left bough]

and i had no basis for it

[cedar venture]

we have a full line dude

[left bough]

literally just pulled the words out my backside

[cedar venture]

how about this, keep the previous version

think of it like pushing code to github, it can be very useful to hold on to previous versions

see exactly the changes you made, and if you need to, you can go back instead of manually having to track every change you made

and undoing them

[left bough]

...

about that

[cedar venture]

do you not have those text files?

[left bough]

well i have one with the known letters placed and another that i just randomly plop words into

made a copy of the thing with taht line

[cedar venture]

hm, best I can think of then, is kinda treat it as like individual "branches" of attempts

if something feels solid, fits smoothly, then keep working with it

[left bough]

i mean, i quite literally had no "previous version" of that line

[cedar venture]

I mean, there's this at least

ah crap, didn't place the new ones in there yet

[cedar venture]

making a chart for confirmed translations so far

[left bough]

something like this?

everything under ! is confirmed
everything under ? is guesses

[cedar venture]

making like a table chart, just so it's a bit more organized to look through

[left bough]

mgiht be better, yeah

[cedar venture]

but that could serve as a good basis to go off of for now

[left bough]

what if we pinged lilieseyes with that line?

[cedar venture]

maybe? see if we can decipher a bit more though

[harsh vortex]

i guess ill try letter to try to make words? trial and error

but yeah this looks right

@boreal kite In the end lies others lost

[snow perch]

Gonna be busy until tomorrow

[left bough]

lostcon 5 currently

[snow perch]

Well, Kaminskys on vacation, so it’s up to us to just start looking into stuff and assuming what we do is correct

[left bough]

D:

any idea how long his vacation is?

[rigid sphinx]

I'll be back in Monday

[left bough]

oh ok, not too long then

we'll just need to flail in the dark for a day more

or something like that

[snow perch]

Have fun 🎉

[dry gale]

Oh that's when I come back as well

How convenient

[delicate night]

half bottle of vodka down 2 hours of codecracking and no progress yet

[harsh vortex]

need more vodka

[delicate night]

^

[cedar venture]

Not drunk enough for code cracking

[delicate night]

trust me im not done yet lol

[cedar venture]

[shrewd yarrow]

drink up tovarishch @delicate night

[rigid sphinx]

Please don't let my ARG be the cause of catastrophic liver damage

[snow perch]

Cheers to that! 🍻🍺

[shrewd yarrow]

lmao

[harsh vortex]

Can i smonke cracke instead

[delicate night]

dont worry kaminsky this wouldve happened regardless

[delicate night]

chiki briki

[delicate night]

Lostcon 5

[shrewd yarrow]

aye comfirmed Lostcon 5. at 23:24 CST

[delicate night]

vc anyone?

could use some chit chat at the moment lol

[keen elm]

im new to the server. what is this?

[delicate night]

alternate reality game

[keen elm]

i know what an arg is

[keen elm]

i dont know what this ARG is though

[keen elm]

thanks

[snow perch]

This ARG is mainly just the deeper unexplained lore. Mainly about the MLO

The creator of the ARG, Kaminsky, gives us puzzles that we have to solve. Feel free to check out both of the documents and learn about it

[keen elm]

Thanks but for real

[snow perch]

V2 is what we are working on rn

[snow perch]

Yeah?

[keen elm]

for explaing about this ARG instead of sending joker jones

[snow perch]

Lmaooo, np

[humble stirrup]

and what are you currently working on because I see lots of numbers to decipher in the conversation

[snow perch]

Currently, I just got back to my computer. Now, I'm just reading through what was already deciphered so I can help out more with that.

[humble stirrup]

okay 👍

[snow perch]

right now, Kaminsky gave us a custom cipher to decipher, that huge string is that cipher

(I misread ur message at first)

mb

[humble stirrup]

np

[snow perch]

if you need any help, feel free to @ me

[humble stirrup]

thanks bro

[humble stirrup]

so for now you found "I N T H E E N D L I E S O T H E R S L O S T" on all this cipher text?

[snow perch]

looks like it, the thing with this cipher, is that it appears that some numbers can mean two letter (e.c, 8= E OR D)

we just got to this part 2 days ago

we call it (or I call it) Kaminstitution

[humble stirrup]

okay i hope i can help you

[snow perch]

you got this, you will anyway, just by helping. Even if you're wrong

also "intheend" is the only confirmed part. "otherslost" is just kind of an educated guess

[left bough]

Not even an educated guess

Just somrthing that popped into minf

[snow perch]

educated thought*

assumption one might say 😭

[keen elm]

educated wish

[snow perch]

deadpool????

[left bough]

there was nothing educated about it...

i reset the text and just plopped those words in

[snow perch]

oh

okay

[left bough]

educated or not, it's not confirmed to be right

now i'm just repeating what was already said...

[harsh vortex]

Sometimes a leap is what we can do

[left bough]

😭 that leap barely got us anywhere

assuming it's the right direction, has anyone gotten anything new to it?

[cedar venture]

What im trying to wonder is also what kind of cipher could have the same letter in multiple numbers that are close to each other

Was thinking about how we could maybe figure out the cipher process

[left bough]

i tried to figure that out too, but there's just not enough info
or i've missed some crucial thing

[cedar venture]

damn

[supple pulsar]

How can we be sure about intheend being the right part?

[snow perch]

the numbers in the tweet are a direct translation to intheend

and the numbers are the start are those said numbers

[supple pulsar]

wiowoowowo, what tweet

ive been gone for a bit-

[snow perch]

ah, welcome back

there was a tweet from the VOID twitter page

and there were numbers and an arrow

here

if you can kinda see those numbers

[supple pulsar]

yeah

what are the numbers below

and the ones above?

and the arrow?

[snow perch]

arrow just means translation

numbers above are in the end

numbers below are also 'intheend'

but the bottom numbers are the first little bit at the start of that huge wall of numbers

lots of damn numbers

[supple pulsar]

Hmmm

I need to see the numbers

[supple pulsar]

wait

so

both are in the end

but

the numbers below were turned into the numbers above for that?

[snow perch]

here

2 98 43 3 8 3 06 8 58 09 3 05 6 43 3 8 60 98 54 6 8 77

2 98 43 3 8 3 06 8 THIS means intheend

thats really all the hint meant

so: in the end 8 58 09 3 05 6 43 3 8 60 98 54 6 8 77

93 0 90 4 1 6 05 76 89 43 3 18 3 5 0 51 08 76 99 7 27 6

its a new cipher, I call it KAMINSTITUTION

like gwyn, but "More Dickish" according to Kaminsky himself

[dreamy bloom]

in a couple days we'll all be Kaminstitutionalized

[snow perch]

😭

LMAOOOO

[dreamy bloom]

.....i gotta go

[supple pulsar]

right

so

i think the arrow illustrates the steps to decrypting it, no?

so

let's work backwards

to encrypt it, the first step is a1z26's the text

now the problem is

WHATS THE SECOND

we have no numbers above 100

[snow perch]

its a custom cipher, it gave us a few letters to work with. e.c I = 2

[supple pulsar]

this means the cap is probably 100

now i wonder if the numbers with a 0 before them are numbers above 100

[snow perch]

what are you trying to solve exactly?

Im a bit confused

[supple pulsar]

im trying to figure out what the last step of the encryption is

i'm assuming the first step is a1z26

[snow perch]

ok

ill be back soon

[supple pulsar]

wait

isnt the 8 part of "in the end"?

[dreamy bloom]

8 would correspond to the e in "the" or the d in "end" in the final cipher

[supple pulsar]

hmm

the inconsistency in numbers

is making me think

this cypher has a key

8 and 3 have the same letter

[dreamy bloom]

9 14 20 8 5 5 14 4
2 98 43 3 8 3 06 8
I N T H E E N D

[snow perch]

Maybe we’re looking at this the wrong way?

[supple pulsar]

100%

i think this has a key

that'd explain why 8 and 3 have the same letter

[cedar venture]

not to be rude, but we do have this, in case it helps lol

[supple pulsar]

yeah but

what I'm saying is

9 14 20 8 5 5 14 4 a1z26 "intheend"
2 98 43 3 8 3 06 8 Cypher+Key "intheend"

when he says "both are intheend" it just means both come back as "intheend"

[cedar venture]

ahhh, maybe

[rigid sphinx]

The most interesting part of this is watching the mini-groups and different directions of logic bounce off of one another and seeing what comes from it

[autumn geyser]

Damn

[supple pulsar]

idea

make an ai do it for us

it'll def not backfire

It doesn't even matter

[snow perch]

i-i tried so hard man, and got so far. However, in the end...

[supple pulsar]

What if

The fucking code is just Linkin park lyrics

[autumn geyser]

it wouldn't even matter

[snow perch]

maybe the cipher were the friends we sang linkin park with

anyways, anybody wanna get cracking in a vc?

problem I'm seeing, is that its supposed to be a cipher-->then translate-->cipher-->answer

its a 2 layer cipher is it not?

maybe this cipher follows some sort of pattern that we gotta figure out.

[shrewd yarrow]

crawling.... in my skin..... these wounds.... they will not heal..... fear.... is how i fall.... confusing.... what.... is real....

[autumn geyser]

woah what

we're on lostcon 6

kaminsky is offline entirely

not even on idle

wait no nvm

my dms were just broken

[shrewd yarrow]

oof

[left bough]

idid try to find a key with vigenere and beaufort styles, but couldn't find any
i might've made a mistake tho

i am somewhat also wondering if a1z can even be counted as a step
since the key needs to be put through the same process too, unless it's just numbers

[real sparrow]

I tried silly stuff like putting the numbers in cells to see if any of them will line up in columns with the idea that each column might use slightly different a1z26 = number shift, repeating 26s etc.
And it was, in fact, silly.
Also tried vigenere and beaufort with only "intheend" and kinda forcing the key to have a result that might make sense, the key often ended up to be something like fwzuj so again, silly idea.
Then I spent too much time learning more about these types of ciphers to realise it won't lead me anywhere.

[shrewd yarrow]

i tried gwen, a1z26, a1z26/gwen alternating

trifid into caesar, caesar into trifid, vieg into beuforr, beutford into vieg, veig into caesar, veig into trifid

[autumn geyser]

I will quickly add

Gwyn wasn't a completely brand new cipher done from scratch, it was an affine cipher with a different A and B value than default

And Kam hinted at the fact that we have done this before just that it's done differently

So I'm inclined to believe there's a key-based system

[harsh vortex]

thats why i love args, even if it turns out to be a wrong direction

fun

[rigid sphinx]

Alrighty so

I think we'll do this'n a little differently, since you all have been cracking in on it so hard

[autumn geyser]

Oh boy

Btw kaminsky why is Lily just completely missing from the server people list

What happened

is that like arg related or is that just funny discord things

[rigid sphinx]

just funni Discord things

[autumn geyser]

Ah okay

[snow perch]

Kaminsky killed lily????

[harsh vortex]

secret

[snow perch]

Lostcon 3

Never mind he’s gone

[autumn geyser]

oh shit we got lily back in the serverlist

[left bough]

i guess lily was in hiding

[harsh vortex]

was just offline

[delicate night]

Kaminsky has the lilies eyes held hostage in his basement confirmed?

Fellas maybe his “vacation” was really just him kidnapping

[harsh vortex]

maybe kaminsky was kidnapped

[rigid sphinx]

Shhhhh

[crude tiger]

kmaijnsiky

[torpid fiber]

Lily is back in the server list, and back on idle. A good sign, hopefully.

[delicate night]

@boreal kite got anything for us?

[sacred dawn]

Probably crack or some kind of voodoo drug to control you

[delicate night]

[left bough]

4L1?

[snow perch]

4L1 my beloved

[rigid sphinx]

Welp. I guess with step so far in the lead, I don't need to wait that 24 hours

[harsh vortex]

aye

[delicate night]

@rigid sphinx when you posting the step/hint?

[snow perch]

Right when you step away from your computer!

[delicate night]

Yeah you’re probably right lol

[shrewd yarrow]

I go with the flow of the group

[shrewd yarrow]

Lostcon 5

[dreamy bloom]

yall keep sending these linkin park lyrics.... got me in the mood and listened to all of hybrid theory and meteora lol

also

probably wont be on VC very much anymore... back at work so i gotta go to sleep at a decent time

[delicate night]

one thing... i dont know why

hybrid theory is my fav album of all time

[dreamy bloom]

its so good! i listened to it as a kid and didnt fully appreciate it but its definitely aged well

[delicate night]

album is timeless in my opinion

LOSTCON 4

[shrewd yarrow]

still 5

[harsh vortex]

he was online for a while

[shrewd yarrow]

true

it's back to 5

[harsh vortex]

check twitter mayhaps

my twitter is suspendes so im useless

[snow perch]

you dont have to answer, but how 😭

[shrewd yarrow]

nothing

[harsh vortex]

"commit die" to the bungie ceo that fired 220+ people

they decided to re suspend me after the 7 day suspension was over even though that was like basically my only tweet?

[snow perch]

lmao

[harsh vortex]

anyway yeah i get it harrassment whatever, he should still shoot himself

[open needle]

Glad to see we're about to get another hint on these numbers

I've been real busy this past week and haven't had anytime to even work on em so kaminsky's vote today was a godsend fr

[left bough]

i swear if my guess was right

no, if it was even close

[snow perch]

which guess?

[harsh vortex]

Youll see

[amber holly]

pause?

the emphasis on LOST is suspicious

[snow perch]

this was just to tell us that this was the hint we needed to investigate

[amber holly]

ooh i see

[onyx ibex]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ReadyOrNotGame/s/0o4efZEZHM

What's your guys' take on this?

[delicate night]

I mean it’s far out but has a few valid points

We need more info on judge before being able to confirm any of that, side note that post looks like something you’d find in Gerard’s basement lol

[onyx ibex]

Schizo ahh post for sure, but has several interesting points. If it weren't for the comments i wouldn't even know what the ARG is about

[delicate night]

Yeah I agree, just wish we could solve this part of the ARG to learn more of the conspiracy

@rigid sphinx in all your power and might please free us from our chains and release the next step

@onyx ibex I also will say that the port hokan trafficking theory definitely holds up

[onyx ibex]

Usia let the women get trafficked? oh wow that's fucked up

[rigid sphinx]

Good things come to those who wait frens

[autumn geyser]

dear god we're gonna wait till september aren't we

I love that movie

So damn good

i watched it when I was little, and it always just made me super bored lmao

then again I was like 5

and had undiagnosed adhd

¯_(ツ)_/¯

can appreciate it better now though, at least

[snow perch]

You’re telling me that the leg lamp part didn’t captivate your little hyperactive mind

[cedar venture]

it did confuse me lmao

[snow perch]

It didn’t either for me when I was younger, but nowadays it’s at least its bit funny

[cedar venture]

it is pretty funny, yeah

i honestly think it just went over my head as a kid lol

[snow perch]

Maybe this ARG is just telling us to watch this damn movie

[cedar venture]

TRUE

[snow perch]

And boom just solved a huge clue

[cedar venture]

[snow perch]

I like how all I needed was outcider saying not an embed

and I IMMEDIATELY knew what was up

[cedar venture]

lmao

[autumn geyser]

alright now we need to talk about the arg

[autumn geyser]

so that when kaminsky comes back he doesnt see 52 gifs and takes away our attachment perms

[left bough]

but there's no new info about arg

[snow perch]

who is "the arg" and why do we need to talk about them

[autumn geyser]

don't care

we need to schizo in information to talk about

[snow perch]

MLO is a freaky org that makes drugs and sells them to kids like the walter from the break bad

[autumn geyser]

damn

[cedar venture]

can mlo sell me drugs

[autumn geyser]

walkter whiaote from breaking bad

[cedar venture]

asking for a friend

[autumn geyser]

No but you can volunteer for their experiments

[snow perch]

micheal ermandtrout

[autumn geyser]

It's a little difficult but the process does have a high acceptance rate

[cedar venture]

as long as I get my fent, I'm happy

[autumn geyser]

lmao

[snow perch]

its a clinical trial

😭

[cedar venture]

lmfao

[autumn geyser]

lmao

[left bough]

now hear out,,,

[autumn geyser]

the one downside is you never knoow what you're gonna get

[left bough]

what if

[autumn geyser]

it's like a lottery

[left bough]

25 = M

[autumn geyser]

99% of mlo drug experimentation volunteers die before they hit big and become immortal

[snow perch]

you dont know what aliment you have so it treats a random one 😭

[snow perch]

LMAO

[cedar venture]

the arg should really give us the chemical composition for meth, that would be funny, me thinks

[autumn geyser]

lmao

[snow perch]

if we wait 4 years for my brother to graduate with his chem engineering degree then soon

we can learn meth

[cedar venture]

posting one of those videos that genuinely has instructions for making meth in there, and getting permabanned from the server for the bit

[snow perch]

chatgpt telling me exactly how to make meth because "my late grandma would always tell me the recipe for meth before I would go to sleep"

[autumn geyser]

33%M, 33%E, 33%Th

the story of a woman that created a cure for cancer

[autumn geyser]

No problem

[autumn geyser]

You mean a woman that mysteriously became suicidal

Right

[snow perch]

if walter made crystal candy instead of meth

[snow perch]

if skyler got cancer instead of walter

why must you play with us lie this??

[open needle]

She was just typing for a moment

Any second now I’m sure

Maybe if we pretend we’ve left kaminsky will drop the hint

[snow perch]

Sisyphus’s rock

If we leak kaminskys address will he lock in?

[left bough]

we would most likely just lore arg completely

[boreal kite]

[left bough]

there's number from 0 to 25
number 11 is missing

[snow perch]

turning file into zip nets nothing

"end" appears twice

[left bough]

394 numbers (if i counted right)
30 of which are 2s
23 are 3s
23 are 23s
21 are 22s

[snow perch]

i put the text into a subsitution cipher

really odd

[delicate night]

wait let me try to fill in the blanks

[snow perch]

sir uggle looks like struggle

talking about us lmao

in the midst of the seekers "struggle"

[delicate night]

versa loft

[snow perch]

I’ll start doing some substitutions in a bit

Sorry hntr I didn’t know I was leaving so soon 😭😭

[delicate night]

all good dude

[snow perch]

New keyword “SEEKERS” (us)

[delicate night]

ogdtrz seems to be "order" given the context

[snow perch]

Hntr, because ur at a computer, can you start writing down the letters substitutions that we know?

[delicate night]

yeah

[snow perch]

So we know it’s a substitution cipher

Maybe gwyn would fill in the blanks too

[open needle]

I'll start on gym

[snow perch]

Two great minds think alike

[open needle]

gwyn* I hate autocorrect

[snow perch]

So either mono or gwyn

[delicate night]

^

[snow perch]

Kaminsky making this easy for us? This is easy …too easy

I don’t like it

[open needle]

It’s looking real good

IN THE MIDST

[shrewd yarrow]

Its a 0 i would vote gwen thats just me

[snow perch]

Alright it’s gotta be Gwynn 😭

Good job lads we’re looking good so far

"reversal of the established"?

i don't understand

"ALKHWARIZMI"??

[harsh vortex]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khwarizmi ?

[snow perch]

Interesting

I’ll be back in a few hours

[cedar venture]

So the thing is, it’s not a perfect solve

Even if we can get words from jumbled ones, shouldn’t we try and find the actual process just to “double check” it?

Or maybe I’m just too hesitant lmao

[left bough]

well this is just a hint from what i know

the actual numbers are still unsolved

[real sparrow]

and if that means the original numbers are messed by some sort of algebra
rip

[harsh vortex]

thats what im thinkin of

remember the line of the memorial image?

maybe it represented something like this

[left bough]

oh dear god

[real sparrow]

yeah

[snow perch]

wtf would we even have to do on a coordinate plane 😭

[real sparrow]

here goes my "Hah, I will never ever need to see algebra again"
Ready or Not discord:

[snow perch]

Find the slope??

[harsh vortex]

yeah im killing myself im not touching a graph ever again

good luck guys

[left bough]

kaminsky pls, there's gonna be literal deaths

[cedar venture]

also just to ask, what did you use as a key?

[snow perch]

Nothing

It was a substitution Cooke r

[cedar venture]

oh huh

[snow perch]

Cipher

[cedar venture]

i thought that uses a key, my bad

[snow perch]

In gwyn

Thanks outcider

[left bough]

yes

[shrewd yarrow]

Something tells me siruggle is suppose to be struggle

Cause siruggle ia not a word lol

[left bough]

"ia" isn't a word either :D

[shrewd yarrow]

Ia ia cthulu fhtagan

[shrewd yarrow]

:)

He waits for you Outcider..... beneath the fathoms......

[left bough]

well there's another one in my room so he'll have to wait

[shrewd yarrow]

Lol

[left bough]

disregarding the sounds i hear, "siruggle" isn't the only typo where an 'T' turned into a 'I'

[shrewd yarrow]

Fun

[real sparrow]

seeing it like this ain't that bad, but still

surely it is not 2000IQ equation
surely

[real sparrow]

nevermind, looking at the numbers from the twitter hint again would mean it is 2000 IQ equation

so I guess the meaning of this last hint gotta lead us to decode the incorrect numbers/letters?

[snow perch]

Why are we looking about algebraic equations again?

[real sparrow]

Al-Khwarizmi "father of algebra"

I tried shifting numbers before but only in certain order like +3, +4 etc.
never in this way so I might give it a try to see if there is even partial match, however it might be just huge miss

[snow perch]

Oh

That’s diabolical

[scarlet swallow]

Y = mx + c

[dawn saddle]

I am lost (pun intended)

[real sparrow]

aren't we all at this point

[grizzled crescent]

hey guys sorry for this stupid question but can anyone link me to the trailer which first had the coordinates about 7 seconds in

im confused cause it wasn't whatver official launch trailer is on their youtube but maybe ive just missed something obvious

[delicate night]

Sorry for being inactive last night fellas had to take a bit of a break, I’ll be on all night tonight working on the current task at hand

[delicate night]

Searching right now

@grizzled crescent Damn I actually can’t find it, you’re referring to the attached screenshot correct?

[cedar venture]

Was it this one? I remember the teaser being like a mock news report/storm warning https://youtu.be/byt7k1z46QI?si=T_ur29Lv8K4Yra_N

I could be wrong

[tidal sonnet]

the middle bits kinda look like a Porta cipher; been doing some legwork on my pathfinder campaign and been using it

that being said I am at best here for moral support and intrigue so don't worry about it lmao

the only reason I suggest is because Porta sounds kinda like port and I have not been up to speed on it/idk which map that code is from bc I didn't read all the old chats

[ebon summit]

Interesting tattoo description given the rumors of Judge's past. Not relevant to the current cipher.
