There's supposed to be a NSFW version of cyberpunk and actually doesn't look half bad. Until you get to the NSFW part🤣
cedar venture
speaking of rpgs
I'd argue that vampire the masquerade: bloodlines was cyberpunk 2077 before cyberpunk 2077
both are based off of pre-existing ttrpgs
cedar venture
which one

Hey guys what is this game
ARG though. A deeper look into the lore that the community solves
cedar venture
got some decent va's in there too
hell, john dimaggio was in there lol
I know this isn't the place for it, but I love vampire the masquerade as a setting, could honestly yap about it for hours
sacred dawn
Never heard of it tbh
cedar venture
tbf, it is VERY 90's
and it's been kinda fading out of relevancy
a big part of it is that it's supposedly approaching an apocalypse type event, and pair that with the irl approach towards 2000 and the turn of the millenia
honestly I still really like that meta plot though, the idea of gehenna

yes that!
no sorry i meant like the very first one. like from 2017 or whatever

So guys to get back on topic here, what’s our current findings based off of lilies message
cedar venture
I think there’s been a lull in attempting to solve it
autumn geyser
I've been pulling 10hrs of straight webdevving a day so not a lot of time for cipher stuff
Plus tbh I'm terrible at ciphers and hold back progress, I might in the future try and get better at it independently but as it stands I'd be a hinderance more than a help in deciphering stuff
And that's with a normal mind, not one that has been turned into a piece of jello after staring at code for 10 hours
cedar venture
I feel your pain, coding can be a real pain in the ass at times

welcome back everyone, I was on vacation the last two weeks
i just caught up with the doc and you guys did some outstanding work
what's document v2 tho?
also did you change the branches at some point?
i feel like a lot of B images are in A now
what are you guys working on right now?
waaait, we have a voice channel now too?!
aaaand the dlc dropped
autumn geyser
Yep a lot happened
v2 is our public doc for new people or for just a summary
And branches haven't changed
At least they shouldn't have
eternal kindle
linas!!! omg i missed you. you are the life and soul of this arg
eternal kindle
why did the updates stop on Aug 07? and how'd you get LOSTCON
autumn geyser
My work here peaked at the beginning of the C branch, and then it kinda died
07 because I kinda just fell off a cliff in terms of motivation to continue thinking about the arg, plus it would just devolve into a whole load of "Nothing new."
And LOSTCON is just a funny joke we made within our inner circle of friends and then we proceeded to make it a thing, it's basically a threat level indicator on what's going on in the ARG
eternal kindle
really? you were always updating the doc and you invested a looot of time into this
eternal kindle
And LOSTCON is just a funny joke we made within our inner circle of friends and ...
lol ok
autumn geyser
Yeah, it's just been a mix of
- downright impossible cipher
- suddenly remembering I need to get 100 more hours of project work till the end of summer
- burnout
Maybe I'll come back the last week of summer cause I hope to be done with my hours by then (only 55 away and I'm pulling 10hrs a day), but besides that, there's little to be done as of now
Apart from trying to solve these god forsaken numbers
eternal kindle
oh man :( that doesn't sound too healthy... what project you work on?
wait so there is something to solve! what are these numbers?
autumn geyser
Honestly all sorts of projects, currently just continuing my webdev journey, I plan on building out *yet another DB powered website
eternal kindle
oh wow that sounds interesting
autumn geyser
And it's not much different than what i'd normally do, it's still sitting in front of the computer for 10 hours a day, except now instead of having fun with friends I am staring at code and resisting the urge to paint the wall in a nice coat of red paint

autumn geyser
Oh yea no that last part is a joke, I'm doing fine for now, just trying to push the last 55 hours and then I'll be done
I do get a lot of time to spare, around 3-4 hours a day, so it isn't all bad, but it does get very mindnumbingly boring sometimes
eternal kindle
you'll get trough that in no time. just don't make these 10h shifts a habit i guess
autumn geyser
Oh yea no this 10hr a day stuff is purely for this thing alone, I never wanna do it again
But uhh procrastination happened and now I'll just cram as much as I can in as little time as I can

Likely two ciphers in one
at least oneis ones we have done in the past but done differently than before

i assume so, yes
since it was posted after the poll
#🪹the-sepulchre-arg message
that's waht it gave
problem with the wall is that it's 2 ciphers
so getting letters from those numbers is probably insane
well what you're doing is better than the nothing i've been doing
i tried finding different words that fit the lines based on already known letters

that might be cause of the layered ciphers

this thing?
eternal kindle
ohh xD my badd
left bough
at least one of the parts i didn't recognise as words was a name
but not sure if it's pointing us anywhere
eternal kindle
but if you say a7 was a hint to a6 then it'd better be a6-2
eternal kindle
why not

past experiences
eternal kindle
this makes it so much harder
you can't do anything wrong imo. it's better for info to be there right away than to have people scroll thru old dc chats
nah i dont know anymore
this is it for me for today
all I proved was that the cipher text likely translates to english and that all i did today is obsolete
good thoughts to you guys though! i hope you find more than i did.

left bough
no, the lower one ends in 8
left bough
tere were quite a bit of speculation on what the lower set of numbers is, since the pixel amount is low
eternal kindle
and to what conclusion did you guys come
left bough
2 98 43 3 8 3 06 8 seems to fit and it's the first numbers on the wall
#🪹the-sepulchre-arg message some of the guesses from me came based on this
the upper set of numbers in A6-1 turns into "intheend" with A1Z26
and then there's this #🪹the-sepulchre-arg message
so the number wall would be solved with something similar to gwynn
probably
eternal kindle
the upper set of numbers in A6-1 turns into "intheend" with A1Z26
so only the lower numbers count
left bough
i guess?
it's supposedly a 2 layer cipher
i don't know if the A1Z counts towards that layer count tho

eternal kindle
Lily did react to your message about it
left bough
A6-1
eternal kindle
what layer should be between them?
left bough
no idea
eternal kindle
i think we pretty much solved a6-1
left bough
it's just a hint for the wall
eternal kindle
you're mentioning this wall the second time now... what is it?
left bough
2 98 43 3 8 3 06 8 -> ??? -> 9 14 20 8 5 5 14 4 -> "INTHEEND"
left bough
you're mentioning this wall the second time now... what is it?
that's the wall of numbers in A6
eternal kindle
oooo
i thought it is two seperate strings and two seperate methods
but yours makes much more sense with the arrow and all
left bough
the newest hint for it confused me tho A6-2
i'm not entirely sure, but it's in gwynnstitution
left bough
that's the wall of numbers in A6
the "WoN" if you will
eternal kindle
ohh
eternal kindle
i'm not entirely sure, but it's in gwynnstitution
maybe the stuff that doesn't translate with gwynn is kaminskitution and it's a hint because we can get some information from context
eternal kindle
can't be bc gwynn is not the last step in a6-1
buut lily just said a1z26 is not a layer...
soo this would make it
WoN > ? > Gwynn > plaintext
it seems possible to crack all of a sudden
i've almost given up hope with my whole frequency analysis and substitution stuff
left bough
eternal kindle
this is worth gold
soo I will remove everything about kaminskytution from the doc then
eternal kindle
ok, i'll add some sort of tag bc I think it won't get us anywhere
left bough
although he did say that there isn't a new cipher
eternal kindle
see
left bough
just a new way to use old ones
snow perch
I’m pretty the the lilies eyes is saying that we need to try something completely new, and we are going in the wrong direction
We need to break tradition
snow perch
I assume its just telling us we're going about this wrong
telling us A1z is NOT the answer, mainly because A1z is the "tradition"
we've tried using it so many times and It hasn't been working (except for once)
let me look at the new info, havent been involved and working on this in a good minute
eternal kindle
or we should disregard the idea of kaminskitution which we have been trying to crack for some time now hence it's become tradition
eternal kindle
let me look at the new info, havent been involved and working on this in a good ...
I try to get as much stuff in the doc while keeping it as short as possible
i left a lot out as of now which I want to add soon
but i was too busy with Doinja's analysis section (don't go there, it was probably all for nothing really)
snow perch
where did we get this info from thoo
the top was 'intheend'
and the bottom is a direct translation to intheend
i was just substituting
snow perch
wait substitution with what key
HNTR and I came to the idea of Kaminstitution
I dont think that anymore
eternal kindle
vigenere with key HNTR?
snow perch
and I gotta completely ignore Kaminsky in the future, I speculate with his messages and it leads me absolutly nowhere
rigid sphinx
snow perch
vigenere with key HNTR?
HNTR is a person 😭
snow perch
vigenere with key HNTR?
We thought it was a custom cipher
snow perch
<:doglul:924573665964736533>
this is why
eternal kindle
oh so the bottom doesn't directly translate to intheend
snow perch
I just wasted 10 seconds speculating, unbelieveable
snow perch
oh so the bottom doesn't directly translate to intheend
sorry if im not explaining this correctly, it does
rigid sphinx
See, that's why I try to keep what I say in here curated so as to not give you any false hope
rigid sphinx
also yes, bottom translates directly to top, which translates to 'in the end'
eternal kindle
also yes, bottom translates directly to top, which translates to 'in the end'
soo the idea of the layers is proven wrong theen
at least for a6-1
for a6 it is confirmed
snow perch
for a6 it is confirmed
wym
eternal kindle
well we did get the clue that WoN is layered so this would make sense there but not for a6-1 if you guys say it was translated directly
eternal kindle
also yes, bottom translates directly to top, which translates to 'in the end'
how though? what cipher was used to translate this?
no wait he said bottom translates to top which translates to in the end
so bottom does not directly translate to intheend but translates to top
which would mean we save one layer from outciders idea
left bough
ok so my first thoguht about it was correct then
bottom -> top -> plaintext
2 ciphers where the last one is A1Z
eternal kindle
and in won it's
cipher > same as bottom to top > gwynn > plaintext
so we killed the idea of kaminskitution for now
left bough
no in won specifically
snow perch
so we killed the idea of kaminskitution for now
yeah, besides, it wouldnt make sense here
left bough
first cipher is unknown, second is A1Z
with numbers from 0 to 99 and some with leading zeros
snow perch
first cipher is unknown, second is A1Z
That actually makes so much sense, thinking about it retrospectively
with the arrow and everything
left bough
boi
eternal kindle
i don't think so as lily replyed to break tradition to your a1z message and image a6-2 (which is more lore like) uses gwynn
left bough
it definitely isn't beaufort or vigenere
snow perch
jeez how did we not think of that earlier, good catch!
eternal kindle
well the 1st layer could be but the layer that translates to plain sure isnt
eternal kindle
jeez how did we not think of that earlier, good catch!
i think this is what outcider was saying all along
left bough
well yeah
eternal kindle
three steps ahead of us
so for the 1st layer we got this:
2 = 5; 98 = 14; 43 = 20; 3 = 8; 8 = 5; 3 = 5; 06 = 14; 8 = 4
left bough
the math is too high for me
eternal kindle
it just says 2 translates to 5, 98 translates to 14 and so on...?
eternal kindle
oo i already wondered
left bough
i think the biggest problem finding the common factor is that the numbers loop
and we don't know what point the loop ends
eternal kindle
the doc is getting ugly to navigate... Imma cut Kaminskitution out and put it in a seperate doc should we need it at a later point
eternal kindle
i think the biggest problem finding the common factor is that the numbers loop
which numbers loop and what common factor
cedar venture
oh shit, y'all have been hard at work
left bough
which numbers loop and what common factor
WoN's numbers, common factor at which the numbers gets changed

supple pulsar
right
so
it's been quite quiet
let me uh
drop my analysis of the last clue
this one in particular:
"IN THE MIDST OF THE SEEKERS SIRUGGLE WITH THE REVERSAL OF THE ESTABLISHED O G D T R C HANGING THE GLYPHS OF THE SAXONS AND THE PRISRANS FOR IHE SYMBOLS OF THE ALKHWARIZMI HAMMERED FIRST INTO FORM BY BLAISE THEN BY MACY OTHER S O N E S E N NIGHT PRIOR THE EQUINOX HOLDS THE I R SALVATION THE SPAN AFTER THE ARRIVAL O U"
some notes i took after reading this
"REVERSAL OF THE ESTABLISHED O G D T R C"
This could suggest reversing or altering a known sequence or code (possibly a common cipher or pattern). The letters "O G D T R C" are probably a word that is hidden behind another cypher. (or maybe it's the word "cypher" itself? it fits in the character length.) ((also thinking it could be "ORDERS"???))
"GLYPHS OF THE SAXONS AND THE PRISRANS":
"Saxons" could refer to Anglo-Saxon runes or language, while "Prisrans" (possibly a typo for "Persians"?) might refer to Persian symbols or numerals???
"FOR IHE SYMBOLS OF THE ALKHWARIZMI"
Al-Khwarizmi was a Persian mathematician known for algebra. This might hint at using algebraic principles or Arabic numerals in the cipher???
"HAMMERED FIRST INTO FORM BY BLAISE THEN BY MACY OTHER S O N E S E N"
Blaise could refer to Blaise Pascal, a mathematician known for contributions to probability theory and Pascal’s Triangle. "SONESEN" is probably yet another word hidden behind a cypher.
"NIGHT PRIOR THE EQUINOX HOLDS THEIR SALVATION"
Equinoxes have astronomical significance, often related to balance or equality (day and night being equal). This might hint at a balance or symmetry in the cipher, possibly a date or time-based clue??? Perhaps there is a hint that might help us contained within one of lilies messages. (if based on the date of an equinox, about September 22 and March 20, otherwise it could point towards something sent at a certain date that's in the "middle" of the ARG)
snow perch
I know people who are native Arabic speakers speakers if need be
SONESEN could be a key?

satanic orbital fluid extraction? what is going on now ._.
mossy flicker
On Lethal Obsession, there is some graffiti depicting what I assume to be USIA experiments. Across it he wrote "Satanic Orbital Fluid Extraction." My theory is he is trying to explain whatever he saw at the USIA through his mental ramblings. As for what this experiment actually is or was, we have no answers on at this time. It could be linked to the MKUltra Brainwashing or MLO though.
mossy flicker
No prob!
mossy flicker
Similar concept, also on Lethal Obsession
Scott talks about the "Godhead Complex" and the USIA. He could mean that they have a "God Complex" being able to operate above the law and government. The other theory is that it looks like he drew a building of what could be a building, or "complex" if you will. So maybe he is referring to the "God Complex" as a facility for experiments or something.
There is also some text in latin that I have yet to translate myself. IIRC it should all be on Scott's fridge

Oh yea it's really good
I saw a fellow arg member in there almost immediately with the mentions of camellia, 4l1, etc
snow perch
It seems AL KHWARIZMI made significant contributions in not only math (Trig, Algebra, other arithmatic), but also in geography and even astronomy
"FOR IHE SYMBOLS OF THE ALKHWARIZM"
the only things that I can see having to do with symbols is either the algebra or some hebrew calendar he made
the passage also mentions Blaise, how he "hammered" something into place
Blaise did work with probability, did a bunch of the early things developing the theory, and people used his works to develop that field even further
BOTH Blaise and Khwarizmi worked with arithmatic, Blaise with his stupid lil triangle
and khwarizmi with his arithmetic algorithms
this is just background info (could be a complete nothing burger 😭)
Maybe we can figure out the first little bit of numbers using Blaise's triangle or some mathmatical algorithm made by Khwarizmi
(though Khwarizmi mainly made methods to solve linear and quadratic equations, and I dont see any equations here, unless the numbers could translate into symbols, roots, etc. which i really REALLY doubt)
It Would be diabolical if we had to decipher a complex equation and solve it, dont get any ideas Kaminsky
Also disproving myself, not sure what Blaises triangle would even do to help us solve this, so scratch that too
that begs the question, why is Khwarizmi and Blaise even mentioned? Their arithmetic works probably wont pan out
snow perch

this i find interesting though, the passage says 'HAMMERED FIRST INTO FORM BY BLAISE THEN BY MACY OTHER S O N E S E N'
according to wikipedia, it says "However, Pascal and Fermat, though doing important early work in probability theory, did not develop the field very far. Christiaan Huygens, learning of the subject from the correspondence of Pascal and Fermat, wrote the first book on the subject."
Blaise HAMMERED the theory of probability into place, and probability theory was built and developed based upon his ideas
Thats enough mindless speculation from me for now 💀

Wild theory that I feel like I'm the only one who has but the MLO has ties to the coyotes on Rust Belt and perhaps the mlo's test subjects included some smuggled people

yeah most likely MLO intervention there
From one of my observations, there's a butterfly mark on Rust Belt's caves, and if you translate the "MARIPOSA" from MLO to English it just comes out as Butterfly
along with the silly eyes on the cave, and the creepy texts from the evidence locker from that mission, saying that "there's sounds of children crying in the caves, but there's no children in there"
The cartel involved with smuggling must also be supporting the MLO by smuggling drugs or certain chemicals into the US, or if you will human trafficking for experimentation? kind of a crazy theory
and from the new Dorms mission, there's also weird paintings resembling the "Sepulchre", which i mean could also be the use of said chemicals or drugs being pushed out onto the american population for experimentation since as far as im aware drugs dont make you trip out to the point where you're drawing weird looking figures on the walls
The Coyotes could easily just be some puppet for the government itself or the MLO if the MLO had ties to the government or is a government branch itself

intheend = 2 98 43 3 8 3 06 8
in a1z26 = 9 14 20 8 5 5 14 4
Al-Khwarizmi is known for algorithms and is often associated with the Affine Cipher (which involves algebraic transformations). The phrase "lock and key alike" could suggest that both encryption and decryption involve the same method, possibly hinting at a reversible transformation like Affine Cipher (where decryption uses the inverse of the encryption formula). That, or we have to use arabic numerals, in which case, oof.
so

based on this lilies message after we talked about affine -> Vig/Beau, it's quite possible that isn't the path

the simplest path, i would argue, is that this is all lies and we have no way of progressing
beaufort uses the same system for encrypting and decrypting the message, subtracting from key

Pascal Blaise? French mathematician and statistician maybe? Made what is known today as Pascal's triange
That's what I quickly found when searching up Blaise

i really hope that that thing isn't part of this

holy crap what happened and why did you guys give up so fast

its less giving up and more people are working on it and still processing what the infomation could mean
and who knows @boreal kite might grace us with more insight

And in my case I just realized I'm simply not cut out for ARG stuff
I can't think in the way that cipher breaking would require me to

My case is that I’ve been super busy and caught up with other stuff, hobbies, school, etc. I’m probably gonna be sitting out for a bit

I assume there's a lot of story telling through all of this, I don't quite understand what all of it is, but I have found out where something points to a "First Step" Being oddly on september 15th, which is today, in the year 2027...
What is this all for??

i don't know anymore

This seems like they were definitely getting at a hidden story or video or something, but all of the encryption they've used is way more than what most people are gonna know or want to look through...
That is if that's what they're trying to do at least.
left bough
well the whole point of the ARG is to get through puzzles
and uncover lore or something
so far it's been some interesting stuff
been stuck on this puzzle for a while tho
cloud niche
I gather that much, but the way the theories are alligned, just don't seem to match up... especially because it seems like some stuff I've found throughout the game doesn't seem to be mentioned, yet seems like it would be useful information.
Just odd
What's the puzzle?

The one with the qr code?
cloud niche
The numbers wall, gotcha
But that's odd, because the same words seen there, are mentioned earlier.
left bough
which ones?
