try

#

20 20 11 21 23 20 25 5 16 ?

#

There could be so many combinations for this 😭

left bough
#
  • key
#

so even more combinations

#

:( i though i could make a list into a string

#

ignore the "End result"

#

something's wrong, i can feel it

supple pulsar
#

:(

left bough
#

90062017970616875
hmmm

#

well the first 4 letters are definitely "JAAG"

#

if this even got processed correctly

#

yeah i think the key is wrong

supple pulsar
#

what key did you try?

#

09152027?

#

damn

autumn geyser
#

09152027 has no real relation to current standing so it may not apply

supple pulsar
#

wellll

autumn geyser
#

It might also be num to text to THEN beaufort / vigenere

supple pulsar
#

we can

#

try things related to our

#

Qatar man

snow perch
#

Wait why exactly are we choosing 09152027 to be the key

autumn geyser
#

^

left bough
#

used "lost" as key

autumn geyser
#

That's the a1z'd version isn't it

left bough
#

hm, i think i used a0

#

with a1

autumn geyser
#

Cause I'm proposing we first turn the numbers into letters and then we turn that into beaufort or vigenere

supple pulsar
#

lost has been the key so far this cypher

autumn geyser
#

Keep in mind two numbers can either be representative of two letters or one

left bough
#

rrrgh, difficult

autumn geyser
#

Yep

#

That's why I doubt the brute force approach

#

It'd leave us with thousands of results to manually scan

#

We can use automation to quickly test possible theories, but only to a limited extent

#

We'll still need to think the result out

left bough
#

should we ask for another hint?

autumn geyser
#

That's what I'm trying

#

I can't find the fucking @ for lily

left bough
#

oh boy

autumn geyser
#

there we go

#

@boreal kite The numbers within the cipher, do they hold any particular link to something such as Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani, and if so, could you point us in the direction of where that link is?

left bough
#

we do be the lost again

supple pulsar
#

More lost than the lost 🙏

autumn geyser
#

damn that was a while ago

supple pulsar
#

Please drop a prayer guys

left bough
#

i don't think prayers work in this case

#

gonna need to hack into lilies' mainframe

supple pulsar
#

Let's think about this

#

Nice and hard

#

Shall we?

left bough
#

I'm in

supple pulsar
#

We're going deep, and we're going hard.

#

as we come closer to the end of the first act

44343553

left bough
#

i was in initally testing with the 44343553 , just beacuase that's easy to split into letters

supple pulsar
#

First of all. Have we had like. A really, really good look at these numbers?

left bough
#

you won't believe how much i've stared at them

supple pulsar
#

They're all numbers from 1-6, right? Though the 6 only appears once.

left bough
#

from 0-6, yes

supple pulsar
#

What's the frequency like on each of the strings?

#

As in, how many of each number?

left bough
#

are you suggesting they're octals?

#

oh

autumn geyser
#

Frequency analysis doesn't matter when in a substitution cipher

#

Only transposition

#

Cause substitution tends to substitute

#

The bigger thing is that if the same thing repeats time and time again that implies the word has to be a rather unique string cause the ciphertext can't be repeating that often

left bough
autumn geyser
#

So if you have
aaaaaa
that means the key can't be
weeeee
otherwise you'd get a terrible plaintext

left bough
#

there are quite a bit of repeats

#

44343553 has 2 doubles

autumn geyser
#

Unfortunately it doesn't really help us much cause most words in the english language tend to not really repeat the same character in a row that often

left bough
#

131543153335341555 has 2 triples

#

44343553 is the only one that has only single digit numbers that don't go over 26

supple pulsar
#

What if this isn't anything that we've dealt with before?

left bough
#

shouldn't be

#

i hope it isn't

supple pulsar
#

In any way, shape, or form.

left bough
#

"the convulsion of the puppet master is finally in play with an array to contend with, the souls must steel themselves" could mean what the WoN had

#

since working with numbers as the available alphabet is a weird thing

#

but also used beaufort, which has a "converging array"

#

or "an array of convergence" as lilies put it

supple pulsar
#

Ugh

#

It's hard to think about this looking at my phone

#

I'd need my PC and a notepad to be trying things

left bough
#

i think they were something like this

snow perch
#

I will be home in like 6 hours, I can help then

Outcider is a moderator now⁉️⁉️

shrewd yarrow
#

oh yeah he is.

snow perch
#

What????

#

You are too? 😭😭

rigid sphinx
#

Casually recruited. yea

snow perch
#

Damn it, this place is covered with MODS

#

How bribe-able are you folk?

rigid sphinx
#

Jokes on you, they don't get access to any ARG info

snow perch
#

How bribe-able are you??

#

3 dollars, 24 cents, a button and two strings says that you give us a hint

left bough
#

I'll hand over whatever i can for a grain of molded bread

#

is joke

snow perch
#

Bro has been kidnapped and forced to moderate, blink twice if you need help 😭😭

snow perch
left bough
#

the won't let me blink

snow perch
#

Well congratulations you two. I’m sure that I won’t get banned and I get special treatment…right?

topaz geyser
snow perch
#

RIGHT??

topaz geyser
#

New rule incoming: incorrect ARG solutions is an instant ban

snow perch
#

😭😭

topaz geyser
#

So think carefully

snow perch
#

Public execution

#

By firing squad

left bough
topaz geyser
left bough
#

oh incoming

#

o no

#

we never solving this

topaz geyser
#

(I am legally required to say this is a joke)

#

And the green mod team does not get insider info about the arg

left bough
#

sadtarget why would you tell them that

snow perch
#

Oy Kaminsky, are we getting in-game clues In the new DLC? I thought I heard someone saying that earlier

rigid sphinx
#

nes

snow perch
autumn geyser
#

Congrats linch and outcider

shrewd yarrow
#

thanks 🙂

open needle
#

Speaking of the new dlc, check steam

sacred dawn
#

Nothing new on steam page.

#

Just the same 3 pictures. It might get updated today or something from newsletter for more info.

left bough
#

when next clue?

eternal kindle
#

wait when did you guys get moderators wtf

autumn geyser
#

Recently

eternal kindle
#

ok, wow!

#

any progress?

autumn geyser
#

Nothing so far

#

Still stuck on those damn numbers with the recent thing

eternal kindle
#

we'll most likely have to wait for the next image anyway, since the whole "the levithian stirs" stuff always meant the next img is incomming and we'll have to stand by

autumn geyser
#

I think we can't really wait, I think this is what we need to solve

eternal kindle
#

we'll see... but we do know that it is solvable right now

autumn geyser
#

It should be

left bough
#

but it would be through bruteforcing without the keys

autumn geyser
#

Not necessarily, it may be a case of guesswork again

eternal kindle
#

what if those numbers should represent typing with an old school cell phone?

We'd get
gjad?j ?d?jgd?jfjdg?l

left bough
#

it still wouldn't make much sense

#

right?

autumn geyser
#

Wdym

eternal kindle
#

where ? is 1

#

but it WOULD fit in with the other letters

#

and then the letters are maybe beau or vig

left bough
#

too many questionmarks

eternal kindle
#

because solving such short strings of numbers with a substitution cipher is really really hard

autumn geyser
#

It is

#

But we've done it before and ultimately that's how it went

#

I reckon it's a1z -> vigenere / beaufort

eternal kindle
#

we'd probably be more likely to solve kryptos k4 than this

autumn geyser
#

lmfao

#

But there is hope though honestly

#

Like we've done it before and we did succeed

eternal kindle
#

k4 is a longer string at least

supple pulsar
#

Congrats on mod, @left bough @shrewd yarrow

#

You may be mods now

supple pulsar
#

But the ARG is where the family's at. Don't forget.

shrewd yarrow
#

ah no worries i can still work on ARG when needed and mod, makes it even easier when its the same server

brittle forge
#

Poggggg

shrewd yarrow
#

cedar venture
#

You should immediately abuse mod priveleges Clueless

#

Congrats to you guys though!

shrewd yarrow
#

Thanks 🙂

left bough
#

danke

left bough
#

i'm so close to just starting to make a gui for the thing i made

#

but then i remember that i don't have the focus to do it

shrewd yarrow
#

😦

topaz geyser
shrewd yarrow
#

We do need to work on this at somepoint @left bough

left bough
#

crycat on what? i also just want to bruteforce the damn numbers

shrewd yarrow
#

The numbers i mean 🤣

left bough
#

it's been completely quiet here, except for me programming

shrewd yarrow
#

Fair

left bough
#

and tthen we became mods

shrewd yarrow
#

True lol

left bough
#

i feel like i've already reached the apex of what i can do here

#

without further hints atleast

shrewd yarrow
#

Fair, i feel the same

snow perch
#

Yeah, also none of us know how alphabet lists tie in

shrewd yarrow
#

True

snow perch
#

I feel like we should just wait til the DLC drop

left bough
snow perch
#

thats what I've been doing because all my (limited) python knowlodge has went down the drain so I have no idea how to even help 😭

shrewd yarrow
#

I know nothing of coding/arrays

left bough
#

but knowing me, there's probably typos and whatnot

snow perch
#

what are you coding in atm?

left bough
#

like the text we write here

left bough
#

bout to join friends for a game

snow perch
#

the language i mean

left bough
snow perch
#

ah alr

left bough
shrewd yarrow
#

Still not use to the shield 🤣

🤔

shrewd yarrow
jovial raven
#

fellas, do we reckon the word "strengthened" means anything to us

#

pulled from dev blog 80 ^

shrewd yarrow
#

maybe?

autumn geyser
#

It's most likely just the branding of their version of some monitor

#

Way too generic to be anything of importance

autumn geyser
#

linch i got a new job for you

shrewd yarrow
#

@autumn geyser what can i do for you?

autumn geyser
#

You missed it but there was a funny

#

Dunno how the mod system works for yall but it's probably in modlogs or some

#

Yet another instance of spamming

shrewd yarrow
#

ah!

#

woops 😦

#

in here?

autumn geyser
#

Ye

brittle forge
# jovial raven

It being upside down is weird for branding on a device though

#

Could imply maybe biologically enhanced hostiles?

stray ridge
#

Mer

left bough
#

any new ideas?

shrewd yarrow
#

None that i can think of

#

At least without asking Lily

#

I think my last question/message to them was wrong

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

snow perch
#

88%

#

We might be able to dust off the old VC for the first time in 3 months

autumn geyser
#

It's memorable branding

#

You think strengthened and you probably won't think the company but if every time you use a display, it's theirs, and you also see the word upside down forcing you to think about what the word is, you'll remember way easier

#

Plus again strengthened is way too general of a word to matter

#

It'd be the equivalent of saying "It." as a hint from lilies

#

It's useless because of how general it is

brittle forge
#

Probably right

left bough
#

but what if the key is "it"? 🤔

brittle forge
#

Hehehehe

supple pulsar
#

I'm back home, finally

#

I'll get a look at the numbers when I can

left bough
#

cAAAT save yourself while you still can

shrewd yarrow
#

I hope your trip was well 🙂

dry gale
#

hey guys, you think this has something to do with the arg? (appears in a single frame of the dark waters teaser)

snow perch
#

the teaser dropped?

dry gale
#

yeah 7 minutes ago

snow perch
#

shiiiit okay lemme take a look

#

interesting

#

good catch by the way

dry gale
autumn geyser
#

More info December 5

#

Deciphered

#

Probably release date drops dec 5th

#

And my bet is on release date 10th

#

So that tracks

#

Nothing in relation to the arg though

snow perch
#

oh nice, that was quick 😭

shrewd yarrow
autumn geyser
#

Well I immediately knew it was hex to text so it was just a matter of typing fast

dry gale
autumn geyser
#

Linch could you pull some strings with your newfound mod powers and cough accidentally cough drop the dlc release date

shrewd yarrow
#

Negative

autumn geyser
#

Unfortunate

snow perch
#

Linch come on, is being granted mod powers THAT IMPORTANT?

autumn geyser
#

here comes the peer pressure

snow perch
#

I have 5 dollars and 43 cents (in pennies) with your name on it

shrewd yarrow
#

I dont get bonus info sorry boys

snow perch
#

(literally, i printed it with your name on it. Its counterfeit).

autumn geyser
#

mmm that's what someone who DOES get bonus info would say

shrewd yarrow
#

goes back to work

snow perch
#

who else may we be able to "convince?"

shrewd yarrow
#

Oh yeah! Before i forget... @snow perch happy thanksgiving!

snow perch
#

Happy thanksgiving everybody!

#

you too Linch

shrewd yarrow
#

I think so

autumn geyser
#

Yep

#

Hex -> text

autumn geyser
left bough
#

ah, skimming through skipped that

supple pulsar
#

Revisiting the posibility of Linch having been right this whole time.

#

Perhaps there was just something that needed to be corrected at the end?

#

This seems like such a coincidence I can't ignore it

#

The next DLC is called "Dark Waters"

shrewd yarrow
#

that was just luck, tbh.

supple pulsar
#

yeah but

#

that is SUCH

#

a coincidence

shrewd yarrow
#

.

#

this is one the big hints we got

#

.

#

or that

supple pulsar
#

array

shrewd yarrow
#

something about an array

supple pulsar
#

there was a lot of

#

experimentations about arrays in terms of coding

#

this is what an array is basically

shrewd yarrow
#

yeah, outcider has been playing around with an array

#

we havn't had much luck

supple pulsar
#

but so far there hasn't been any progress with it

shrewd yarrow
#

there has not

supple pulsar
#

i mean

#

array can just mean

#

"an ordered series or arrangement"

#

basically it could mean

shrewd yarrow
#

perhaps

#

the convulsion of the puppet master this part of Lily's message has me the most worried

supple pulsar
#

"kaminsky is now using a different order for cyphering things"

shrewd yarrow
#

that could be

supple pulsar
#

but

#

"an array of convergence"

#

i think

shrewd yarrow
#

🤔

supple pulsar
#

they looked really far into it

shrewd yarrow
#

possible

supple pulsar
#

i think array of convergence just means that

#

we need to work together?

shrewd yarrow
#

but, do always keep Kaminsky's words "don't overthink things"

supple pulsar
#

yeah

snow perch
#

strikes me as "use all the skills youve learned to help solve this."

snow perch
#

If this really is the end of the tutorial this would make sense

supple pulsar
snow perch
#

Using everything that we've learned to solve this ONE specific thing

supple pulsar
#

it strikes me as such a coincidence

#

for it to just be absolutely nothing

snow perch
#

peculiar timing is my response to that

#

I think not, but It could be

#

what I'm wondering though

#

is why its misspelled

supple pulsar
#

i mean

#

if i input the key

#

"lostlostp" with that p at the end

#

it says darkwater

snow perch
#

huh

#

weird

supple pulsar
#

i didd uhh

#

try some other things

#

but no luck on anything

snow perch
#

So lets think

#

im putting on the thinking cap rn

supple pulsar
#

If

#

well

#

Actually

#

I have a theory.

snow perch
#

(game theory?)

supple pulsar
#

i think the first row of numbers MIGHT be a different cypher

#

to the ones down below

#

my reasoning is

#

it includes the numbers 0 and 6, not included on the other string

#

and the possibility that, if translated to gwynn, it comes out as "darkwatev",

#

also it looks like a date, like we discussed, but 100% isn't that

#

maybe it's just a hunch though

snow perch
#

20201121232025516

#

452315

#

131543153335341555

#

44343553

supple pulsar
#

numbers only range from 0-6

#

though there is only 1 6

#

and the 0's are only present in the first string

snow perch
#

interesting

#

good catch

supple pulsar
#

i

#

actually remembered something

#

i was experimenting

#

while i was in london

#

what if it's like

#

base 7?

snow perch
#

lets see

supple pulsar
#

converted to decimal from base 7

#

67838745445253

snow perch
#

what the

supple pulsar
#

only the first string

snow perch
#

for 2020 it gave me "15256023563032465646" 😭

supple pulsar
#

wow

#

are you

#

converting from base 7 to base 10?

snow perch
#

one sec

#

I went 10 to 7

supple pulsar
#

oh

snow perch
#

whoops

supple pulsar
#

lmao

#

but

#

i think it's a little far fetched still

#

there's a big problem with the theory

#

that being

#

it's a hunch

#

but we can still try

#

i'm trying to

snow perch
#

I have a hunch

supple pulsar
#

go ahead?

snow perch
#

what if we put the numbers into a cipher and then put the a1z equivelent as a key (a1z Lost)

tired olive
#

PC crashed

snow perch
#

so e.g, 12151920 would be the key

supple pulsar
#

BSHADHSAD

#

so you're saying

#

put numbers through cypher with 12151920 as the key?

#

it doesn't actually sound half bad

snow perch
#

yeah

supple pulsar
#

let's give it a try shall we

snow perch
#

and the alphabet as 1234567890 (like we did with the WON)

supple pulsar
#

uhhh

#

ok

#

ok

#

got it

#

soo

#

it does a weird

#

thing in beau

snow perch
#

quad 0s?

supple pulsar
snow perch
#

did you add a space?

supple pulsar
#

oh

#

i did

#

quad zeros

#

ill throw something else now

#

what if

#

the key has to abide by this 0-6 order?

snow perch
#

so put it in base7?

#

We can try it but that may be overcomplicating it

supple pulsar
#

i did thee space mistake on vig, still doesnt change much

#

let me put it in base7 maybe

snow perch
#

yeah I checked both and nothing with that

#

tried

#

nothing

supple pulsar
#

ah

#

hmmm

#

well

snow perch
#

what if we bring out the old trusty trifid-caesar

supple pulsar
#

i did try

#

no results but ill give it another hsot

#

shot*

#

i think

#

@snow perch

snow perch
#

ye wassup

supple pulsar
#

it's not like the won

#

because

#

on WON the numbers were

#

separated

#

like

#

the indiviual letters

#

but here it's all together

snow perch
#

oh shit yeah maybe

supple pulsar
#

im scratching my head though

#

why do numbers only go 0-6

#

20201121232025516
452315
131543153335341555
44343553

#

20201121232025516

#

that's the amount of each number in that first string

snow perch
#

reminds me of an array fr

supple pulsar
#

thats

#

literally

#

what i thought of

snow perch
#

ill be back soon, im finishing this tf2 mvm game

supple pulsar
#

but there's two 1's

#

dw

autumn geyser
#

More like an object / dict / hashmap

#

So basically a 2d array

left bough
#

bois

#

wtf

autumn geyser
#

?

left bough
shrewd yarrow
#

.-.

#

all of us have together to at somepoint and compare notes

left bough
#

...i tend to not take notes

shrewd yarrow
#

shrug come up with ideas or possibilites.

snow perch
#

Yes

#

I agree

obsidian brook
supple pulsar
#

but unfortunately it didn't lead to anything

snow perch
#

If we buy the ready or not merch do we get a hint?

jovial raven
shrewd yarrow
#

xD

snow perch
rigid sphinx
#

Did you guys watch the new teaser?

autumn geyser
#

I have in fact not

#

Where's it at

#

Ah found it

#

I have now watched it

supple pulsar
#

Uh oh

#

IS THERE A CLUE THERE???

#

TIME TO LOOK.

topaz geyser
#

Just going to leave this here

supple pulsar
#

Oh

#

That only says

topaz geyser
#

Unless Kam is referring to something else

supple pulsar
#

"More info coming December 5th"

real sparrow
#

I guess that is the demanded hint?

#

That the array we should work with is in hex (if it is an array anyway)

supple pulsar
#

FUCK

#

Maybe I was onto something

shrewd yarrow
#

I think you and Outcider are on too something

shrewd yarrow
snow perch
#

What if we convert the numbers to hexadecimal and try some stuff with that?

shrewd yarrow
#

possible

snow perch
#

So I noticed a couple odd things about the photo

#

there seems to be something hidden, I've been tinkering but I'm not that good at photoshopping and color correction

shrewd yarrow
#

oh?

snow perch
#

weird

#

when going into the video itself (I needed a high quality version) it isn't present

#

must be some random fragment from Kapsels screenshot

shrewd yarrow
#

maybe?

snow perch
#

this is whats present instead

#

so whole lotta nothing

snow perch
#

I was messing around with gwynn and I got bored of using paper to translate so (with the help of chatgpt and my limited python knowledge), I made a little program to automatically do the substitution for you. Its in python

#

(one sec I messed something up)

young forge
#

WAH

left bough
#

probably simpler to just write out the dictionary 😅

autumn geyser
#

Can confirm, deffo easier to write it out

#

Just build in a check so that if n is >= 26 you build a check so that it removes 26 until it's <26

left bough
#

🤔 maybe i could make it work with an input

#

that way i could have all three dictionaries go through only one generator

autumn geyser
#
gwynn = {
    0: 'A',
    1: 'P',
    2: 'E',
    3: 'T',
    4: 'I',
    5: 'X',
    6: 'M',
    7: 'B',
    8: 'Q',
    9: 'F',
    10: 'U',
    11: 'J',
    12: 'Y',
    13: 'N',
    14: 'C',
    15: 'R',
    16: 'G',
    17: 'V',
    18: 'K',
    19: 'Z',
    20: 'O',
    21: 'D',
    22: 'S',
    23: 'H',

Input = int(input("Number:"))

if Input >= 26:
    Input = Input % 26

print(gwynn[Input])
#

Very simple system

#

Adapted for infinite scalability, you can put 6895407698457694538 for all you care

#

Which, btw, returns K

#

Same can be done for all the other ciphers

#

Just define them in a line and collapse said line, then just

Input = int(input("Number:"))

if Input >= 26:
    Input = Input % 26

print(gwynn[Input])```
the rest
left bough
#

oh i think you could just modulo it without the if

autumn geyser
#

Yeah you probably could

#

One sec

#

Yep

left bough
#

mine's a bit more convoluted

autumn geyser
#

Does not get better than this

left bough
#

oh boy

autumn geyser
#

technically two lines of code

#

One for defining everything assuming you collapse it, one for defining input

left bough
#

but i have a feeling yours only takes one number at a time

autumn geyser
#

Then you just foreach loop each element in the input if it's a big set and add everything up to one array you print later

left bough
#

ye

autumn geyser
#

Not that complicated either

left bough
#

oh! i just remembered that my dictionaries have the combinations both ways

autumn geyser

I fucked up

"Nice and quick expansion, let's see if I can just make this tool work"

well me and freakinator already did
so you'd be going with us

#

Alright

#

Going down with the ship time

#

I'll share it either later today or tmr morning but it'll be a full on CLI-based tool for forwards and reverse Gwynn, A1Z, and A0Z

left bough
#

oh boy

#

i don't know what CLI is...

autumn geyser
#

Command line interface

left bough
#

ah

#

i started on a GUI

#

but that might take a WHILE

autumn geyser
#

You have GUI, which is stuff like discord, stands for graphical user interface, where there's cool things and whatnot, and then there's CLI, which is literally just stuff you can run in command prompt

#

GUI is all nice and all but for some reason the vibe of CLI for a tool like this remains dear to me

#

No way, this is the first time AI has been useful in coding

#

I didn't consider this to be a good way to encrypt (reverse decrypt) a cipher

#

The Command Line Interface Number Cipher Tool

Steps to use:

  • Download this file
  • Download and install Python
  • Open the folder the file is located with command prompt / terminal
  • Type "python app.py"

NOO

it's complicated

#

4x4 = s = 16
3x5 = o = 15
5x3 = w = 15

autumn geyser
#

Thank you lilies, very cool

#

Probably this

#

So a 2D grid

#

Not sure how the fuck that makes sense but

#

Oh but it does

#

3 letters separate O and S, and 3 letters separate S and W

left bough
#

ehhh, i might have the axises wrong

autumn geyser
#

-x+8

#

That's the formula describing the pattern

left bough
#

🤔

autumn geyser
#

3 letters inbetween (3,5) and (4,4)

#

We can technically continue this onwards to create a full alphabet relation to the -x+8 function

#

I was gonna go to sleep early but fuck you lilies for posting late so I'll go do this instead

left bough
#

the math is a higher grade than my understanding of it

autumn geyser
#

Wdym

left bough
#

my math ain't mathing

autumn geyser
#

Ah

left bough
#

...i should probably eat first

autumn geyser
#

Yeah that'd make sense

#

It's really just as simple as there being 4 letters per 1x, each letter is at ¼ increments from the other, so if O is 3, then P is 3.25, and so on

#

And likewise, because the formula for the function is -x+8 (As derived from where the points are), we get that per each 0.25 step on the X axis in the pos direction, we get a -0.25 on the Y axis

left bough
#

so it's a vector of 0.25,-0.25?

autumn geyser
#

Yeah basically

#

Per letter

left bough
#

what kinda array is this??

autumn geyser
#

fuck if I know

left bough
autumn geyser
#

But at least we know what each value represents

#

I'll just do the logistical stuff and leave the brains up to other people

left bough
#

but there's no negatives or partial numbers

autumn geyser
#

Currently working on a full alphabet-related set for values

snow perch
#

OH SHIT LILY POST?

autumn geyser
#
A (-0.5, 8.5)
B (-0.25, 8.25)

dear lord

autumn geyser
#

My tired mind is most definitely gonna fuck up somewhere along the line

left bough
#

how do we connect that to the text?

autumn geyser
#

Fuck if I know

#

All I know is that now letters represent numbers

#

In more ways than we thought

#

Gonna put that in the doc and head off to bed

left bough
#

don't tell me it's a trifiwhatever cipher

#

and each of those are from different arrays

#

well ok, probably not

shrewd yarrow
#

What magic and sorcery is this!?

autumn geyser
#

That sounds like something for you guys to figure out

left bough
#

i thought it would be closer to this

left bough
#

eh, i'll still try to stay with the 2d array

autumn geyser
#

Beautiful

rigid sphinx
#

aren't linear arrays fun?

shrewd yarrow
#

This is sorcery and magic

left bough
#

i don't like it

autumn geyser
#

Can't tell if they're fun or not

#

Probably not

#

Wait hold up

#

A linear array

snow perch
#

I’ll be home in an hour and I’ll help, if yall didn’t solve it by then at least 😭

autumn geyser
#

It's literally just an array

#

Element id 0 is something, element id 1 is something else, and so on

#

No clue why you've got negatives and other stuff in there, unless you want me to do multiplication, for which I would commit unspeakable horrors if that were the case, but linear arrays just seem like arrays

left bough
#

well i mean... it's an array, it's just linear

autumn geyser
#

Theoretically if it were multiplication you'd take the X and the Y and multiply them together, and then insert the respective letter at the ID you get

#

No id .1875 though so not that

left bough
#

yeah, adding them together just gives 8s

autumn geyser
#

Everything's at ID 8

#

We have undefined for the first 8 and then the 9th is when we just pile every letter in

#

That's how we solve it

left bough
autumn geyser
#

Lmao

#

It really is just

[undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z]```
#

We've solved it

#

Alright lilies next clue

We've solved this one

We've done your programming work

Y’know how the numbers from the original message go only up to 6? Would that change anything by any chance?

left bough
#

i have no idea what i'm doing, but i might as well finish since i started

left bough
#

not sure how this is supposed to help, but that's the grid that came form placing those three letters on there with bottom left as origin

#

well i say that, but it seems i used the "+" as 0,0

left bough

gpt almost had a stroke trying to figure out the equeation for that mess

aaand it doesn't work for anything but those 2 specific ones

so the whole thing is broken

oh hey, it's the 5th

So how exactly do these arrays work?

you're asking me?

i have no idea

it's the 5th
where more info?

indeed

holy shit

linear array?

snow perch

seems so, thats what kam said

left bough
#

please tell me either of you have any idea how to work with that

supple pulsar
#

i'll look at it later

#

is anyone free later to have a look together?

supple pulsar
#

time to read up on linear arrays

snow perch
#

but I'd like to, I'll see if there are any good resources I can use

#

exactly

rigid sphinx
#

I just said that they're fun

#

@supple pulsar ☝️

Please don't do linear array research please.

that's sounding like we gotta dive deeper into linear arrays smidog

honestly

winter sucks

left bough
#

no

#

the first one is different

snow perch
#

My point still stands

rose hearth
#

did anyone solve the Lilies infiltration message in the doc?

snow perch
#

Yeah, it was a hint for something a while back

rose hearth
#

aight

snow perch
#

It gives us the numbers "9 14 20 8 5 5 14 4"

#

which translates into I N T H E E N D

left bough
#

our journey takes us to 20201121232025516
from the disgraced subject of Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani
to the warriors that use altruism as an excuse for violence

#

AAAAAA

snow perch
#

huh?

rose hearth
#

is that hinting at this winter then?

snow perch
#

did you solve it 😭

left bough
#

i swear if that is correct

rose hearth
#

i did look up the Jassim guy too

#

definitly an interesting read

snow perch
#

wait wait wait what did you do?

left bough
#

which chatGPT said might work

#

i just tried finding a connection between the letters cAAAT not this

#

not LIKE this

#

but we still have the first set of numbers, which doesn't work with this

#

cuase there isn't an even amount of digits

#

i don't know if i should ask kaminsky if the text has a typo or lilies if it's correct

snow perch
#

I can't really give my opinion on that because I barely know what I'm looking at but I'm open to both. Also how exactly does this turn the numbers into "Snow," if you dont mind me asking.

#

And ur ballin right now keep up the good work

left bough
#

first number is the row second is the "column"

#

so 4,4 would be from the 4th row, the 4th letter

snow perch
#

Ohhhhhhhhhhh

#

I see

left bough
#

or 3,5 3rd row 5th letter

snow perch
#

dude good shit 😭

left bough
#

i didn't mean to find it out like this

#

@boreal kite the ceremoney waits to be observed
in the season of snow

#

might as well

snow perch
#

Kaminsky changed his pfp from the cat

#

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN????

left bough
#

changed into a black&white padoru with a microwave for a head

snow perch
#

and he's jolly

rose hearth
#

i ran 20201121232025516 through a code detector and it said it might be an octal code

might be helpful

is it a thicc microwave?

looks like the one from half life

or at least from some source game

reminds me of the ones on cs_office

the ARG is actually figuring out what game the microwave is from

this is what its been leading up to

This is your hint

left bough
shrewd yarrow
#

United states...

#

United States Intelligence Agency

#

USIA

snow perch
#

Those damn feds have taken over our supra microwaves

shrewd yarrow
#

that's the only thing i can think of thats US at least in game wise

left bough
shrewd yarrow
#

or its just a USA cap

#

doing research on the USIA we know of 2 comfired i guess for USIA Gerard Scoot

#

and Elaine Raskin

#

🤔

#

made a small note in the doc

left bough
#

well "unitedstates" and "theunitedstates" deos fit the character amount for it, but that would mean it's a double layer one

shrewd yarrow
#

🤔 true

left bough
#

and that's not counting a1z

shrewd yarrow
#

true

left bough
#

wait no, that mgiht not be true

shrewd yarrow
#

oh?

#

i dunno

shrewd yarrow
#

could you imagen if the 12:26 was the release date 🤣

left bough
rigid sphinx
#

So, I'll be straight with you

shrewd yarrow
#

oh?

rigid sphinx
#

It's USEC

#

As in Tarkov, USEC

shrewd yarrow
#

OH!

rigid sphinx
#

It's from a livestream where Nikia, COO of BSG was holding a Microwave and put a hat on it

shrewd yarrow
#

i didn't play tarkov much

#

interesting

#

i still like my theory better of it being USIA 🤣

#

:)

left bough
#

OH! that's why it looked familiar

#

i think i saw an image or vid where the cap was

#

but couldn't place it...

supple pulsar
#

we don't think it's octal

#

good shit @left bough

#

also did

#

kaminksy just

#

mispell "ceremony" 😭

left bough
#

that's what i'm wondering

snow perch
#

Im seeing a theme with tarkov and Kaminsky

#

and misspellings

supple pulsar
#

also

#

the whole thing with the linear function and shit is wrong then i suppose

#

because the hint lilies sent

#

was directed towards

#

the thing outcider solved

left bough
#

well the hint before that was aboiut a colliding array
can't get any collisions in a single line

#

not colliding, intersecting

supple pulsar
#

yeah

#

also

#

the first number string

#

20201121232025516

#

has an odd number of numbers so

#

it can't be something like what you did, outcider

left bough
#

ye

snow perch
#

My guess its probably another layered cipher

supple pulsar
#

i mean

#

im still

#

pretty shook

#

that by doing gwynn with the numbers split

#

you get darkwatev

snow perch
#

maybe we have to plug the numbers in gwynnn and then put it into another cipher

supple pulsar
#

20 20 11 21 23 20 25 5 16

if you gwynn them like these, and then do vig with key "LOST", you get darkwatev

snow perch
#

but that is one hell of a "coincidence"

supple pulsar
#

yeah

#

the new dlc is dark waters

#

but

#

it's short one letter

#

and the last letter is wrong

#

so

snow perch
#

OOJDHOLXG is the input to get darkwatev

#

just noting that

shrewd yarrow
#

🤔

snow perch
#

What if "Dark waters" was the answer for that string

supple pulsar
snow perch
#

“our journey takes us to dark water(s) (20201121232025516)"

supple pulsar
#

gwynn - > vig
key lost
is the way to get it

#

beau has no result

#

you get "dark waters" if the key is lostlostq

#

@rigid sphinx is this a big coincidence? 😭

snow perch
#

or you could just replace 'G' for 'C' and you'd get the same result

supple pulsar
snow perch
#

yeah im just mentioning that

now for some reason i can't get oojdholxg to translate

what cipher are u putting it in?

i should get invested into it again then

does this mean we're out of the "tutorial" phase?

i give yourself some credit cause you helped form the array

#

you two worked together on it

supple pulsar

also did boomkaboom delete his acc?

shrewd yarrow

i have no idea

snow perch

I saw his pfp update so he prolly left

now I cant find him

And then how does that one work

So kinda like X=row Y=Letter right?

exactly

why those rows? no idea
