[autumn geyser]

It's ass

[left bough]

damn, now i wanna see it

[shrewd yarrow]

🤣

[left bough]

aw, i'm too late

[shrewd yarrow]

@left bough were here now

[shrewd yarrow]

.

[open needle]

Just wanna say, y'all have been doing an amazing job, once finals are joever, I'll finally have enough time to get back into learning codebreaking and hopefully becoming more useful around here lol

[sacred dawn]

I hope this is a new game and not a gas station rework

Lmao

Looks kinda RoNish

[snow perch]

The bait is crazy

They were talking about los Angeles and Cops

Just to talk about Control 2 😭😭

[fleet plank]

name of game?

[sacred dawn]

Idk bro it was up for a split second

[fleet plank]

oh ok

[sacred dawn]

Just looks like RoN

[fleet plank]

yeah

[snow perch]

I doubt it’s a rework because it’s one of the best maps

[sacred dawn]

I'm driving while watching this

[sacred dawn]

I could see why they would do it

[snow perch]

https://tenor.com/view/bazinga-sheldon-car-crash-jeb-blackman-gif-18957690

[topaz geyser]

Gas... best map?

That's a ban

[fleet plank]

honestly lol

[sacred dawn]

Not even a top 10 map

[snow perch]

Not the best

It’s pretty good yall tweaking 😭😭

[fleet plank]

bottom 10

[snow perch]

It’s not THE best but it’s good

[fleet plank]

^

[snow perch]

Well what is the best map, that’s a better question

[fleet plank]

idk depends on what you're trying to do and mods you're using

[sacred dawn]

Neon, Dorms or relapse

[snow perch]

No mods

[fleet plank]

agreed

[snow perch]

Neon is top 5 and relapse is top 10 imo

[fleet plank]

but with the zombie mod then definitely port hokan

[sacred dawn]

Sorry UE4 Neon I meant

[snow perch]

Fair

[rigid sphinx]

[sacred dawn]

UE5 neon is like under the other 2 now for sure

[rigid sphinx]

We're vibing in general VC if y'all would like to join us

[fleet plank]

yeah

[snow perch]

Im in a study hall atm 😭😭

[fleet plank]

in school then i got work

[sacred dawn]

I driving rn

[snow perch]

Greased palms easily top 1 🗣️🗣️🗣️💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️

[sacred dawn]

Plus I got a yapper in the car

[fleet plank]

eh its ok

[snow perch]

Its perfectly mid

[dawn coral]

narcos is really fun

pubg is the most played game on steam, that's crazy

[snow perch]

Fr, probably my top 2

@sacred dawn Gas station image was from some horror game

[snow perch]

Wow it happened

[sacred dawn]

Profit today
Judgement tomorrow?

[snow perch]

Dude this is gonna be so fire

This is the same group from lawmaker probably

Wonder how the MLO ties into all of this

[sacred dawn]

Yup

[rigid sphinx]

Just remember lilies words

[open needle]

Steam page updated fyi

Level called Leviathan

[snow perch]

That answers my question 😭

partially

man these just stop oil protesters are getting bold now

[open needle]

Yeah that trailer was sick

[sacred dawn]

Mfer has said leviathan before

[open needle]

So we can assume the Leviathan to be part of or the whole of the United People's Front (no oil guys) and with this

we can assume that that essentially the mlo controls them as well no?

referring to the ghost

[snow perch]

Or is somehow related to em

[sacred dawn]

So we have the UPF and MLO?

[open needle]

And I guess that this is probably referencing the Leviathan mission

[sacred dawn]

Warehouse?

[open needle]

Wait nvm I'm just plain dumb sometimes

[sacred dawn]

Wdym

[snow perch]

I think thats referencing lawmaker

[open needle]

It legit says "house task"

I'm reading too much into this

[shrewd yarrow]

🤔 could the Leviathan be the name of the eco terrorist group?

[sacred dawn]

I thought that was the UPF

[shrewd yarrow]

maybe?

[sacred dawn]

UPF, MLO man

Who's the 3rd lol

Mindjot graffiti on that map.

[shrewd yarrow]

🤔

[left bough]

isn't mindjot connecting like half of the missions together?

[shrewd yarrow]

i believe so

[inland thicket]

ok so i don't know if this is related to the arg or not, and maybe i'm just seeing things but is that a deformed humanoid sleep paralysis demon in a screenshot for the elysian map (the lost maybe)?

[shrewd yarrow]

innnnnnteresting

Lilies has been captured confirmed

[inland thicket]

if it is then i am so fucking happy they're actually adding arg related stuff into the game :DDD

mayhaps.

it kinda reminds me of this fella from a while back

[shrewd yarrow]

ah i can see that

[snow perch]

Don’t mind him, he’s just being a silly billy

[civic pendant]

am i tweaking or is this morse code?

[shrewd yarrow]

maybe?

[snow perch]

the logo is always like that im pretty sure

[shrewd yarrow]

yeah relooking at a older trailers

yeah

it's just effect

[topaz geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-day-gif-18564553

[autumn geyser]

I FUCKING CALLED IT

DECEMBER 10TH

AYYYYY

[shrewd yarrow]

ayyyyyy

[autumn geyser]

oh

oh god no

2nd new mission: Leviathan "An offshore oil rig is overrun by eco-terrorists who begin executing the workers on board."

oh god no

[shrewd yarrow]

it's in time of the 1.0 anniversry

[autumn geyser]

leviathan

[shrewd yarrow]

yep

The Leviathan..... Stirs

[autumn geyser]

Elysian might also be MLO shit too

Where better to hide a base than an area where no sane person will go

Yacht probably won't be related that much

[shrewd yarrow]

A.R.G crew to keep eyes peeled for anything that can be A.R.G releated

[coarse oriole]

I thought the mission will be called 3 Letter Triad

[autumn geyser]

3 letter
M L O

[coarse oriole]

The UPF should be connected to the oil rig from Lawmaker

Since there was a model of an oil rig in Lincoln's mansion, prolly assume the UPF hijacked the Oil Rig

[coarse oriole]

Could be a reuse asset or maybe

[uncut portal]

I also noticed that

It might be either a cut-out

Or something akin to the human shaped flora cages located on the farm

[snow perch]

Praying for in game hints/file Easter eggs

Would be so fire

[stiff drift]

Me watching the trailer ong

[shrewd yarrow]

the sign in the trailer: Profit today, Judgement tommorow

[vital mauve]

"01"?

[reef vault]

Is there any google doc or anything to catch up with whats happening with the arg?

[shrewd yarrow]

yes

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mraLxzMsXWFkj8G_x4z4Xzf7BVlXaCjv1x_WnM9UrRI/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.b3i5cm3kc43e

[reef vault]

Thanks

[shrewd yarrow]

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1t5p5kZNz_RxjQq10YZIZUkOrwfy1inxgU3BHPnD68Uk/edit there's a more condensed version

if that helps

[reef vault]

ill check that out, thanks again

[shrewd yarrow]

np!

[autumn geyser]

Ah shit we forgot to put 11 in there

Gonna do that rn

[shrewd yarrow]

ok

@autumn geyser 1 minor note that was Kos who cracked the vig

[autumn geyser]

Ah okay fair enough

v1 is wrong then

[shrewd yarrow]

Yellow: Vignere (key “LOST”) (@Kos)

[autumn geyser]

Or I'm just blind

[shrewd yarrow]

lol

[autumn geyser]

Should be better now

[shrewd yarrow]

it's all good man

yep fixed

[autumn geyser]

Time to write conspiracy theories while crusing over Germany

[shrewd yarrow]

\o.o/

[autumn geyser]

Alright left some comments in regards to the latest cipher, lmk what yall think

I had to read an entire wikipedia article on al thani so it better be worth it

[shrewd yarrow]

I can see where your going with that

It could very well be that were coming up onto the relgious/terrorist section perhaps?

[autumn geyser]

Possibly

The hand and all

Though that one's yemeni

[shrewd yarrow]

that's my thought

[autumn geyser]

What if the MLO itself is one

Using altruism as an excuse for violence

Either way, this winter's gonna be rather heavy for the ARG

[snow perch]

exciting

[autumn geyser]

I don't think we've ever had an actual mention of real time being related to the ARG and for the ceremony to be the thing that gets mentioned? Shits going down

[dawn coral]

I'm going to speed run "thank you come again" as fast as possble

trying to beat my personal record of 1 minute

I didn't get shot once though so

that worked out

[autumn geyser]

Wrong chat

[dawn coral]

I'm in the vc 😔

no ones here though

[autumn geyser]

Yeah

This is for the ARG

[dawn coral]

oh wait

😭

[errant barn]

@placid rampart

[coarse oriole]

Is that The Elysian Resort? Also I thought it was the farm for a sec

[autumn geyser]

Nah that's just a random photo taken in another game 6 years ago

[coarse oriole]

Oh ok

Just revealed the docs

[shrewd yarrow]

your good! 😉

[sacred dawn]

I just solved ARG

We bring order to chaos
Other groups cause chaos to bring order

DEFCON 1

[boreal kite]

upon the precipice of new operations comes 441132521145243534

[autumn geyser]

44 11 32 52 11 45 24 35 34
s a l v a t i o n

upon the precipice of new operations comes salvation

Hinting at the fact that we have left the tutorial and have entered the realm of misery?

[shrewd yarrow]

Lostcon 0 👀

[autumn geyser]

Btw kam I know you're watching, would it be possible to get some kinda role for the arg people so that we could just @ them and summon the team if a big thing drops?

[sacred dawn]

That thing

[shrewd yarrow]

xD

[autumn geyser]

Now that we've left the tutorial and all

But that aside, I do think we have officially left the tutorial

[shrewd yarrow]

I hope

unless there's ONE more thing

[autumn geyser]

DLC2 drops with direct ties to the ARG, MLO, and the Leviathan, we've had Kaminstitution, and now this

[shrewd yarrow]

was that message Kaminstitution?

[autumn geyser]

I don't think there's any new developement big enough to bring us out of the tutorial that hasn't already happened

Ye

That's why I split the numbers into two pairs

[shrewd yarrow]

gotcha

we should probably update the methods used btw

[autumn geyser]

Oh right fucks sake I'll have to go and add fucking kaminstitution to the god damn python script

Why kaminsky, why do you do this

[sacred dawn]

It's still in the room with us

[autumn geyser]

Oh it's lurking

[rigid sphinx]

👁️

[autumn geyser]

lmao

[rigid sphinx]

Vote on a Role name then sure

[autumn geyser]

Oh hell yeah

[sacred dawn]

SchizoGang

[autumn geyser]

You could also make it be a self-added role so that people can choose whether or not they want it

[shrewd yarrow]

🤔

ARGcrew

:)

or CarcosaARG

[rigid sphinx]

I'd add it to #role-selection

[sacred dawn]

Gerard Role

[autumn geyser]

Sounds good, cheers

[shrewd yarrow]

🤔

lostcon 3

[shrewd yarrow]

disregard this, it's been added already 🤣

[autumn geyser]

ayyyy

[shrewd yarrow]

nice!

[autumn geyser]

I have acquired the ability to decrypt

[shrewd yarrow]

you did it!

[autumn geyser]

Now time to add the ability to encrypt and make kam's life a little easier too

[shrewd yarrow]

😮

unless he already has an encrpytion method for Kaminstiution

[autumn geyser]

Probably does

Doing this by hand would be painful

[shrewd yarrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[snow perch]

So the main tells of kaminstitution is that the numbers don’t go past 6-(I think)?

[autumn geyser]

First number doesn't go higher than 5, second higher than 6

If second 6, letter is z

[snow perch]

Okay, cool, just writing something for myself real quick

[shrewd yarrow]

your winter break starts soon

[snow perch]

Yeah, I’m excited. I’m prolly gonna take wrestling off tomorrow to play the DLC

[autumn geyser]

lucky bastards

It drops 2200 my time and I have a 10hr long schoolday the next day

[snow perch]

As for a name, I remember Kaminsky calling us “The Seekers,” when giving us a hint for the wall of numbers. What about that?

[snow perch]

That’s unfortunate

[autumn geyser]

It's beyond unfortunate

It's torture

Psychological and physical torture

I leave too early to see the sunrise, I stay in the building all day, then I leave after the sun sets

[shrewd yarrow]

oof

but why 10hrs of school?

[autumn geyser]

Cause that's what the school admins decided

Though in fairness I get easy days the rest of the week so I'm happy

[shrewd yarrow]

fair

[snow perch]

What time does the DLC drop for us Linch?

[shrewd yarrow]

2pm

an hour before i start work

[snow perch]

Shit that’s an hour before I get out from school

[shrewd yarrow]

🤣

@autumn geyser think we should add this to the doc?

[autumn geyser]

Added to the messages list already

Not really related to 11

[shrewd yarrow]

👍

added a note to the doc about the translation

[autumn geyser]

?

[autumn geyser]

Ah

[shrewd yarrow]

incase people look and are like "did this not get translated?"

[autumn geyser]

v2.0

Added functionality for Kaminstitution in here

Gonna make a git repo for this

[shrewd yarrow]

nice!

[rigid sphinx]

Hey.

Making a tool is cheating.

:(

[shrewd yarrow]

😮

[rigid sphinx]

not actually, it just means I have to do more work

[autumn geyser]

I'm a programmer

It's just who I am

[shrewd yarrow]

xD

[autumn geyser]

it's in my blood

I spend 5 hours writing a tool that'll at most save me 10 minutes

Btw is it alright if I share the git repo here or would that be too close to self promo

[rigid sphinx]

Naw, send it linas

[autumn geyser]

https://github.com/likeusb/RoN-Sepulchre-ARG-Cipher-Tool

That'll be where I post all the updates

I plan on adding vigenere & beaufort in there too just so we don't need to use websites

[shrewd yarrow]

still uses one >:)

[autumn geyser]

That's the other part of programming

You build the tool and never even use it cause for you it's easier to use the existing tool

And then you regret wasting those 10 hours

[shrewd yarrow]

xD

note that i made

🤔

nvm i did it right

[vast oriole]

i found this in the free cam for replays on 23 megabytes

[ebon summit]

Looks like it could be the new hotel map they removed before 1.0

[snow perch]

Yeah I think that was OLD OLD hotel

The full scale one

[shrewd yarrow]

It certainly looks like it

[snow perch]

Definitely is

[coarse oriole]

Why would Michael has a blueprint of the old Wenderly Hotel?

Or maybe that blueprint will be in the upcoming mission 3 Letter Triad

[vast oriole]

yeh its old hotel, i went free cam and there is a black dome above the map and its just in the middle of it

[coarse oriole]

Hm

Probably that is the inside of The Elysian?

Instead of Wenderly Hotel, Void reused how the old hotel looks in the 3 Letter Triad

[vast oriole]

тщ

NO*

[coarse oriole]

Oh ok

[vast oriole]

i found this guy to

[coarse oriole]

I dont see anything

[vast oriole]

you dont see the gold guy?

[coarse oriole]

Nothing

I'm on my phone rn

So Ig it will take time to load the image

[vast oriole]

okay

[coarse oriole]

Ok saw it

Where did you find that?

[shrewd yarrow]

Interesting!!

[coarse oriole]

Is that Judge?

Any hidden codes and messages?

[snow perch]

Damn, that’s cool, if it was in before the DLC it probably doesn’t mean anything but it’s still a cool Easter egg nonetheless

[hot obsidian]

Old hotel my beloved

[shrewd yarrow]

Ikr

[snow perch]

when it was big and took 1 and a half hours to complete

[left bough]

it doesn't any more?

[snow perch]

[shrewd yarrow]

not in one sitting no

current hotel is alot smaller

[left bough]

you're telling me i'm just bad at the game?

[shrewd yarrow]

no

[left bough]

oh ok then

[autumn geyser]

Current hotel is a pain in the ass is what it is

[shrewd yarrow]

pretty much

[autumn geyser]

Especially with funnies.pak

[shrewd yarrow]

c.c

[coarse oriole]

Claustrophobic and a pain to play in

[autumn geyser]

I more hate the suspects

It's rare for me to come out of that level without getting hit a lot

[mint zealot]

Sins or Ides

[autumn geyser]

Sins

Ides is easy

[mint zealot]

the ai on that map is way overtuned

[autumn geyser]

Like super easy

Bring a few wedges and you're good

[mint zealot]

Yeah i like playing ides

Sins just has the ai bumrush you

Then theyll kill themselves on their own traps

[autumn geyser]

Actually fuck it

@boreal kite Have we reached the end of the tutorial and have entered the next stage or not yet?

[shrewd yarrow]

😮

@autumn geyser gm o7

[autumn geyser]

I've been up for 4hrs now

[shrewd yarrow]

oh really?

[autumn geyser]

Yeah

I wake up at 6 every day

[shrewd yarrow]

my bad... didn't realize

[autumn geyser]

Nah you're good

[shrewd yarrow]

I am curious if we are at the summit of tutorial mountain

[shut linden]

can someone explain the arg to me? Im kind of new into the RoN community and I don't know anything bout it

[shrewd yarrow]

I will do my best too. It's basicly a interconnecting story to the what's happening outside of the game. We basicly solve riddles to get a story and piece it together

another good example of how it's explained

[autumn geyser]

Also check out v2 if you want a brief overview of our work so far, and v1 if you wanna see everything in detail

[shrewd yarrow]

^

[autumn geyser]

v1 is hard to follow if you have no context for it though, so check v2 first

[shut linden]

thanks guys

[pliant lance]

carcosa

[shut linden]

i found sixtyatewhiskey's video bout it

[autumn geyser]

Yeah his is really good

Can't wait for this segment to be over so that we can get a new video on the arg

[shut linden]

underrated youtuber imo

[shrewd yarrow]

sixtyatewhiskey is amazing 🙂

[autumn geyser]

Can confirm

[shut linden]

yeah

[autumn geyser]

His video on the initial part of the carcosa arg was amazing

[pliant lance]

Isn't 68W the MOS code for Combat Medic in the US Army?

[autumn geyser]

I'm pretty sure that's cause he was a combat medic alongside an LEO

Like dude's done everything

[pliant lance]

Ah

[shrewd yarrow]

i think so

[autumn geyser]

Here's a few name ideas
Carcosa Constables
Carcosa's Cryptographers
Listeners of the Leviathan
Lillies Losers
Scholars of the Sepulchre
All credit goes to @jovial raven

[shrewd yarrow]

few role names from me:
CarcosaARG
ARGcrew
CarcosaCrew

[jovial raven]

Appreciate you bro

Mariposa Marauders

Rotcutters

The Lost

[jovial raven]

Nevermind I just realised this is in use elsewhere

[left bough]

More lost that The Lost

[shrewd yarrow]

🤣

[autumn geyser]

I should file a patent for that phrase

[shrewd yarrow]

more lost then The Lost

[coarse oriole]

Hey Whiskey, did you use an AI thing to say those lines in your ARG vid?

[hot obsidian]

Yes indeed, was a medic and a police officer civilian side, had a lot of fun 😁

[hot obsidian]

Yeah I think it was the early windows text to speech voice that had a distortion filter on it.

[sacred dawn]

hits blunt
What if this is MLO

[autumn geyser]

You'd have to be very high if you ask me

Cause I don't see it

[sacred dawn]

M in first pic

L through the M

O is the circle

[autumn geyser]

I guess

[open needle]

I don't think that they'd be that overt tho

[autumn geyser]

But the MLO is more fancy

They're not the down to earth grafitti kind

They're the kind who will use some super complex shape for their insignia

[sacred dawn]

Fair they did have a giant flower hat thing

[autumn geyser]

Yep

[sacred dawn]

Not saying thats them actually but this group could somehow answer to them idk..

[rigid sphinx]

There's also no limit to what you guys can name yourselves, as long as you agree

[topaz geyser]

I wouldn’t say no limit

[autumn geyser]

oh god

[sacred dawn]

Gerards

[rigid sphinx]

Oh no, I mean n o l i m i t.

[autumn geyser]

oh god no

[rigid sphinx]

Because if I say that, it's gonna be something stupid. Not crass

[autumn geyser]

that's a dangerous line to say

[rigid sphinx]

ARG Tag name thread

[autumn geyser]

Oh I'll like get on today

Whenever it finishes downloading and installing

Just won't do any runs

Only going on to test out mods and see what's fucked up

Also this is like the chill chat rn

General is probably going to be in shambles shortly

[snow perch]

Oh my god ikr

Reddit is gonna be terrible tomorrow 😭😭

[autumn geyser]

Yep

omw to take a 6 month long break from the community so I don't have to interact with the cancer

It'll be so much "money wasted dlc bad void suck dev suck why release broken oh bug here bug there too much bug game bad why we blackhawk why no 1 suspect level where sniper where realism ai bad"

[snow perch]

“Why don’t my mods work???”

[autumn geyser]

That too

And just overall people having no fucking idea how development and programming works lmao

Tbf not that I know but I also don't go around insulting the game from something I don't know

also damn post hasn't been edited so we're not out of the tutorial yet

[inland thicket]

there is a what

[autumn geyser]

Also fucking KNEW IT elysium is mlo

[inland thicket]

oh.

yeah guessed as much lmao

[coarse oriole]

Kit up, we moving in now

[inland thicket]

especially since there's that figure on the screenshot

[coarse oriole]

And ofc s minjot logo on of the stairwell

[snow perch]

I’m so hyped to play these missions ASAP

[inland thicket]

downloading the dlc rn, i crave flower people death

[snow perch]

And I’m gonna S-rank all of em and see some beautiful evidence

[autumn geyser]

Yo arg people

Use fmod bank tools v0.0.1.4 to check all the new .bank files

Itll be the three new maps

Check for new sfx that don't belong

Anything with weird high / low pitch sound run through a spectrogram

Sonictools has a free one that I used last time

[snow perch]

Yeah I’m checking when I get home

That’s what I was gonna do first thing 😭😭

[dawn saddle]

Why is he mewing 😭😭😭

[snow perch]

😭

[dawn saddle]

Are these new?

[snow perch]

I dont think so

[dawn saddle]

Lily mentioned

Also I think we got boats going missing

[sacred dawn]

Yes

[snow perch]

There are some interactables from the islan mission

[snow perch]

havent listened to em yet

[dawn saddle]

This update is a lore goldmine

Just HQ itself is full of stuff

[snow perch]

im just hopping on for the first time now

[dawn saddle]

Diddy’s evidence (voll)

I’m calling it, we’re gonna have to raid the chicken shop to arrest someone making meth

[rigid sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/he-knows-to-much-you-know-a-lot-asset-youre-an-asset-tvf-play-gif-14468079

[snow perch]

He’s everywhere around the precinct

I can see him mewing everywhere

[snow perch]

WOW

CRAZY START

I really fw the new toc

[sick sierra]

found it btw

its not very obvious xd

[snow perch]

dude im so annoyed

in the first mission theres one suspect who wouldn't go down

so i couldn't get s rank

[sick sierra]

have anyone figured out what to do with the bomb?

[snow perch]

not on that yet

[hot obsidian]

More like watchers of my nightmares

[hot obsidian]

Saving for later 1

[snow perch]

Apparently there are former USIAs at the island

I havent played it yet, but what if raskin and gerard were both MLO?

Or at least knew about it

Raskin 100% knows about them (as seen in a specific interactable in the farm mission).

what a cutie

[sacred dawn]

chemical bomb on the elysian?

wait a min if this is an island how did the bearcats get here

[shrewd yarrow]

Magic?

[snow perch]

does the bomb blow up?

if left open?

[dry gale]

Naval landing craft ig lmao

[rigid sphinx]

Magic.

[dawn saddle]

You know the “the magic school bus” the cartoon we used to watch at school? Yeah like that, they just flew and landed on the island

[sacred dawn]

Elysian is a crazy map

Kinda wanna say S tier map

[rigid sphinx]

[snow perch]

These maps are much more difficult than the others I realize

(to s rank at least)

[dawn saddle]

I cheese them with my squad of shields

What are they gonna do when 4 angry swat officers swarm them with big slabs of steel

[sick sierra]

The Elysian and oil rig feel a bit small IMO

The boat feels huge though

[sacred dawn]

MLO room is confusing

[snow perch]

I keep seeing thingd like this

not sure what It could mean

[sacred dawn]

theres more than one?

[snow perch]

I thought I saw a couple, Ill see though

I might be losing it

[sacred dawn]

Should I spoil it

Nah it means something

[snow perch]

lmao I shot it 5 times

thats funny

[sacred dawn]

Did you figure it out?

Certain interaction

[snow perch]

I have a feeling

[sacred dawn]

Yes sir

I thought that was the only one. Going back to open them all

If there really is more than one

[snow perch]

I probably passed it twice

[delicate narwhal]

i noticed one too, not sure if it's just a map detail or for the achievement

i did try shooting one and battering ramming it, but got nothing

[sacred dawn]

Imma put a spoiler. Up to you if you want it
||C2||

[delicate narwhal]

the one thing i forgot...

[snow perch]

Yeah I assumed

[lyric wyvern]

hey dudes where is the mlo room? i have been looking non stop and i cant find it

[snow perch]

ty tho for confirming

Spawn loading docks and look for this

[snow perch]

.

[lyric wyvern]

oooooh ok thank you!!

[dawn saddle]

What happens if I leave this open

[snow perch]

When I tried leaving it open nothing happened

[dawn saddle]

L

Was hoping we would blow up or sum

[snow perch]

I was expecting it to explode 😭

[dawn saddle]

Fr, scientist dude was freaking out

[snow perch]

ikr

knew it

if you havent seen it then TAKE A DAMN LOOK

[lyric wyvern]

how do you get into the room after you open it?

[snow perch]

you have to mirror

[lyric wyvern]

ooooh

thanks again!

[hot obsidian]

Holy cow these maps are big

I love it

[sacred dawn]

Was this the only one?

[wind mauve]

i forgot a mirror gun nor can i find that hole

[snow perch]

Im pretty sure

[wind mauve]

where is that hole for next time

?

[snow perch]

Near the loading docs

[dawn saddle]

Loading docks, around the indoor pool, there should be a bunch of smaller rooms next to it

It’s around there

[dawn saddle]

Shiver me timbers

[snow perch]

Have yall seen it through the mirror gun yet?

Also the heavily armed (non cartel people) are called "BlackSentinels" in the game files

[dawn saddle]

Name dropped in briefing

[wind mauve]

lol im still trying to find it, i think im super blind lol

[dawn saddle]

Yeah

[snow perch]

I see

[dawn saddle]

Booting up multiplayer bricked my PC 💀

[wind mauve]

found it lol

[dawn saddle]

Did you bring a mirror gun? 😂

[wind mauve]

yeah haha dw

[dawn saddle]

Shiver me timbers moment

Instantly threw a flash into the room

[wind mauve]

😮 logitech are the true evil

[dawn saddle]

Logitech is cannon in RoN lore

[wind mauve]

[dawn saddle]

They’re the one behind everything

[wind mauve]

logitech is the usia

[dawn saddle]

Shoutout to my PC for dying every time I load into multiplayer 🥲

[snow perch]

FINALLY

JESUS

[dawn saddle]

Pain

[glossy fractal]

I CAN'T COMPLETE MISSION, BECAUSE EVIDENCE GET YEETED SOMEWHERE

AAAAAAAA

[snow perch]

All the evidence for three letter triad

[glossy fractal]

Bruh, it automatically completed in 5 minutes

wtf

[dawn saddle]

Did you order your squad to start a search

Cuz you can do that

[dawn saddle]

Might as well just be soy sauce

[glossy fractal]

I'm in online

[dawn saddle]

Oh 🥲

[glossy fractal]

i'm glad that the mission is finished automatically

[dawn saddle]

That’s good

Unlike for me, I am stuck in eternal torment

[snow perch]

The 911 call for 3 letter triad is interesting

[dawn saddle]

Didn’t listen to it

[snow perch]

have a listen

[glossy fractal]

I lost my mind in "Twisted Nerve"

[snow perch]

Its not all that important but its interesting that Judge has USIA ties 👀

[dawn saddle]

Judge is a sussy boi

He sounds like he’s sick of this

Can we please get mag pouches on the spiritus LV119 😭

[ebon summit]

wooooah

[open needle]

Have y’all messed around with the lights yet on Elysian?

[smoky river]

yaeh u can shoot them oiut

[iron skiff]

Where is this?

[open needle]

I was more so referring to the generator

[smoky river]

you can shoot them out also

[supple pulsar]

.

Started a vote on the ARG Tag name

Actually, wait, @rigid sphinx, can't you start like an actual poll with discord?

[shrewd yarrow]

@supple pulsar if that thread gets too chatty i will take care of it o7

[supple pulsar]

Thank you. <3

[coarse oriole]

Ig The desc of the members of the MLO is correct, members consist of ex LEOs, special forces and military vets

[neon maple]

So are the flower guys the MLO/Black Sentinel?

[dawn saddle]

Could be tied

[neon maple]

it definitely matches up with what you can find about the black sentinel in the mission

ex police officers/veterans

USIA guys, etc.

[shrewd yarrow]

Yep

[neon maple]

Are the "packages" you secure in the Elysium the 4L1 that I'm seeing mentioned so often in the doc?

It seems possible

And do we know anything about the 1 civilian on Elysium?

[shrewd yarrow]

Havent done any of the dlc maps yet 😦

[open needle]

Pretty sure its the scientist, who is named but I can't remember it

[snow perch]

USIA scientist named anthony Schwarz

[open needle]

Anthony Schwarz yep that's him

[snow perch]

I cannot spell

[open needle]

Lol its a struggle here too

[neon maple]

Where is info like that kept? Can't find anything with ctrl+f on the doc

Or maybe I'm just missing something

[snow perch]

wasn't put in because its not directly related

[open needle]

Well the dlc only came out today and there is no correlation to the arg (yet), so most of its still in game

[neon maple]

Alright

[shrewd yarrow]

Rn anything that could be MLO related is currently speculation at best.

[coarse oriole]

Yea but you guys raided an MLO island

[shrewd yarrow]

True

[open needle]

There is probably stuff ingame, specific to that level down the line, but right now progress is stifled near the end of the tutorial

[shrewd yarrow]

^

[neon maple]

And what do you mean by tutorial? I just found this today and it's actually pretty cool, I never knew ready or not had something like this

[shrewd yarrow]

Soooo the current progression in the doc has been an introductory tutorial set by Kaminsky to basicly teach us whats to be expected and how to use the ciphers

[neon maple]

The 42 page document contains the tutorial?

Huh

[snow perch]

everything that you see in that document is simply a tutorial for whats to come

[open needle]

Slightly off topic, but is anyone else evidence when viewed darker?

Like it seems like the lighting was changed and its harder to read the evidence now

[neon maple]

Like the tablet?

[snow perch]

The evidence is pretty hard to read

zooming in worked for me though

[open needle]

Hol up, I'll pop a screenshot rq

[neon maple]

How are we for sure what's in the tutorial? Is it just said when it ends or, what happens?

[snow perch]

wow thats terrible

I cannot read ANY of that 😭

[open needle]

Hehe, I guess its time to dig through my drivers then...

Appreciate it

I will say it has led to some interesting finds within the evidence locker tho

[shrewd yarrow]

Because the person running the ARG has said this line is a tutorial.

But based on messages and clues from @boreal kite (ignore this ping) we are at the end.

[open needle]

I'll keep the image small because Ik it's annoying

Oh well I tried- it's not there when viewed straight on either

[snow perch]

weird

I see what you mean

[shrewd yarrow]

Thats creepy

[neon maple]

We have any clue what that is?

[shrewd yarrow]

Nope

[neon maple]

But yeah

very creepy

[open needle]

Realistically, its probably symbolism. Like the child died in a horrible event and that's when the husband started becoming abusive and drove her into the arms of the cult

[coarse oriole]

Mirage at Sea?

[hot obsidian]

Judge is the most plantey plant USIA ever did plant

[coarse oriole]

Well I mean his last name was written behind a USIA chat log paper from Carriers of the Vine

[autumn geyser]

He's also probably some kind of experiment to some extent

[coarse oriole]

He's proly Gamma 1

[shrewd yarrow]

son.... of... a... bitch....

that's in the yacht briefing

[autumn geyser]

That's THREE MAPS TIED NOW

nice

[deep hare]

Just started getting into ready or not when I heard about the arg, love args and wanting to look into it and the history of it more. Was wondering if there is a master doc with everything thats been found?

[shrewd yarrow]

there is!

give me one moement!

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1t5p5kZNz_RxjQq10YZIZUkOrwfy1inxgU3BHPnD68Uk/edit#slide=id.g2ef8b3509e5_0_45 this is the short and condensed one

[deep hare]

awesome thank you

[shrewd yarrow]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mraLxzMsXWFkj8G_x4z4Xzf7BVlXaCjv1x_WnM9UrRI/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.b3i5cm3kc43e and this is the main one we mainly work off

mind you, were basicly at the end of the tutorial of it. So the actual stuff is yet to come.

and the docs may change

[shrewd yarrow]

you are very welcome!

🙂

[shrewd yarrow]

date for yacht

[autumn geyser]

I want every square centimeter of all three of the new maps scanned

Camera unlocker mod should work

DLC2 is fully ARG related

[shrewd yarrow]

date for oil rig

[autumn geyser]

(09152027)

[shrewd yarrow]

😮

[quaint granite]

there's a keycard in the crew quarters on Leviathan, take it down to area B1(?), there's a terminal that says NAUTICA on it and requests a keycard and a prompt

using it brings up some super tiny text i can't read on my steam deck

[autumn geyser]

Linch get on that if able

I know you and presidente are still playing, so if yall are able add it to the queue

[shrewd yarrow]

I can try

[autumn geyser]

Ight cheers

[shrewd yarrow]

o7

[autumn geyser]

Oh btw @rigid sphinx Sorry for the @, but are we in the tutorial still? Even a hint on whether or not we are works, just any kind of indicator

[shrewd yarrow]

just need to figure out how to use the camera

[autumn geyser]

F2

[shrewd yarrow]

ok

[jovial raven]

do not open unless you wish to experience dark waters spoilers

[quaint granite]

holy shit i clicked kaminsky's name and got hit with a SuleMio flashbang by his banner lmao

[autumn geyser]

a what

[quaint granite]

women kissing thing from gundam

space lesbians type beat

[autumn geyser]

Alright then

[quaint granite]

Achievement for finding the|| room in Three Letter Triad|| is ||'Justice Uncovers Depths Ghosts in Elysium' orJUDGE.||

[neon maple]

Could someone link the camera unlocker mod please?

[shrewd yarrow]

check modding chat threw the link there to keep here clear

[sacred dawn]

Keycard is on oil rig but couldn't figure out where to use it.

Gonna do another playthrough though.

[autumn geyser]

Go down to the lower level and find the area with B1, go inside the building with a bunch of pipes and find the terminal that has NAUTICA on it

On the keypad under it should be an interaction slot

[sacred dawn]

OHHH

Word thank you!

[autumn geyser]

Credit to this person

[sacred dawn]

Is the text you posted what it says?

[autumn geyser]

Ye

[sacred dawn]

Word

BTW I think we're raiding a cargo ship at some point

It's teased on lawmaker, yacht and rig now.

Same boat keeps showing up

[autumn geyser]

Which boat

[sacred dawn]

It's even off in the distance on yacht and I think on rig.

[autumn geyser]

Ah

[sacred dawn]

I'll show one sec

This model is on yacht, Is in the water off in the distance by yacht also

[autumn geyser]

I see

[sacred dawn]

Im checking rig but I think it was off in the distance as well

nvm I think it was the model on rig and it being off in the distance by yacht

MLO HQ?

[neon maple]

I feel like that’s a stretch, the cargo ship theory is good, it does seem like something that could happen, but it could be anything at the moment

[sacred dawn]

Idk the reason why I think this (or has a major role involving MLO) is that if you wanna hide something from the masses why not out in the middle of the water disuguised as a research ship or cargo ship.

It's got a heli pad. It keeps showing up in places.

[rigid sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/suletta-tanuki-suletta-mercury-suletta-eyebro-gif-15153635000052840851

[rigid sphinx]

Y'all have one more step, you're just waiting on me to deploy it

[autumn geyser]

Ah okay

[sacred dawn]

Heres that boat again near yacht.

[shrewd yarrow]

oh wow

also seems like voting is going smoothly

and for those who don't know in #1316071089650270229 you can vote on a role name

[neon maple]

If there will be a cargo boat it would make sense to have at least some relation to MLO, so I guess that’s a pretty valid theory

[sacred dawn]

Here it is on yacht as well

[neon maple]

Look pretty similar too, only difference I can see is that the model cargo chip’s radio tower (?) at the front is pointed but the ship on the water is flat

Idk if that means anything or was just a mistake

[sacred dawn]

It's a really poor model TBH. I had to use freecam then zoom to get it like that

This is how small it is in the distance

[neon maple]

Oh wow

So probably just a graphics thing if they are the same

[sacred dawn]

Idk graphics are maxed out. Probably optimization (not put a high detailed model super far out)

[sick sierra]

Of course it's small you have like 110 fov

[sacred dawn]

120 ackshully

[neon maple]

Well you need to be able to see people directly behind you, so why not max out fov

Smh

[left bough]

360 fov

[sacred dawn]

If only 120 wasn't the max

[neon maple]

We have a camera unlocker mod, I’m sure someone can make an fov unlocker mod

[autumn geyser]

After a certain point it gets too much and distortion kicks in too hard

Anything >120 is unstable teritory

120 is perfect though

[sacred dawn]

You can just edit the engine.ini for higher FOV. Dont even need to do that

[snow perch]

You are sentenced to using <60 fov

[neon maple]

360 fov is the best

(this is all related to the arg)

[fathom kiln]

so maybe the crack was scheduled to be repaired but it couldnt be complete because the project was cut short

this may have already been discussed but maybe the manequins in that hidden room are meant to represent the members of whatever group this is

[quaint granite]

bandai robbed us of a good SuleMio scene.

[rigid sphinx]

Several, actually.

[atomic nimbus]

It’s the PvP faction, back when the game had PvP.

[atomic nimbus]

https://youtu.be/yagLpENXSqw?si=llR0fdTY8BxxSMSB

[snow perch]

It’s called the Mariposa Lily Organization

[quaint granite]

[snow perch]

Also, the Mariposa Lily Organization (MLO), are usually never seen in game. They’re always seen lurking in the shadows or behind the scenes

[autumn geyser]

They seem to have fucked up this time around

They're always in some way above the law, controlling everything from the shadows without any actual meaningful presence or incrimination

Yet with Dorms, they completely fucked it, and now we're at one of their HQs

[snow perch]

Exactly, controlling the strings while being two steps ahead

[autumn geyser]

It ain't a good day for the MLO

[snow perch]

Now they’re only 1 step ahead. THe LSPD are actually on the trail instead of being oblivious

[rigid sphinx]

This is also the first time they've been mentioned in game, since PvP, so that's fun. :>

[autumn geyser]

And lore wise who knows what kinda cool shit the LSPD can find in the hq

[autumn geyser]

I'm happy with that honestly

[snow perch]

I told Linas this earlier but you have no idea how hyped I was more MLO references

[autumn geyser]

Btw is the entire inspiration for the DLC just the ARG

Or is it the other way around

The ARG is completely based on ideas you had for the DLC

[rigid sphinx]

[autumn geyser]

Time to call this the ARG DLC instead of dark waters

Oh wait no sorry correction

[snow perch]

The DLC for the ARG?

[autumn geyser]

Instead of dark watev or whatever else you called it

[snow perch]

😭😭😭

Yeah dark watev is the name

[autumn geyser]

I love the dark watev dlc honestly

[snow perch]

Kaminsky, I gotta ask, was the “darkwatev,” just a simple spelling error?

[rigid sphinx]

[snow perch]

HOW?

[autumn geyser]

That's actually a fairly impressive typo

[neon maple]

Why is it called dark watev when there is some bright blue watev??

[snow perch]

It’s actually dark watev

[autumn geyser]

Yeah get it right

[neon maple]

Sorry, I fixed it

[sacred dawn]

PvP confirmed

[rigid sphinx]

Entirely because I misread my own grid and I'm an idiot

[autumn geyser]

Fair enough

Well now you have this fancy tool that'll do the job for you

-# shameless self promo

[snow perch]

That’s unfortunate

https://tenor.com/view/spelling-mistake-minor-spelling-mistake-meme-gif-23650588

But also ^

[obsidian brook]

First mention ingame means this is the first time I actually start wanting to know what any of this is

[pliant zealot]

PVP next update lel

This may be the wrong channel for this but I found ot pm the Coyote or Rust Belt mission and was wondering what it meant. Or is it simply crossing the border and coming out of the tunnel or cocoon as a butterfly?

[dawn saddle]

iron blooded orphans is better

vidar my beloved

[snow perch]

Mariposa happens to mean butterfly which I believe indicates SOMETHING to do with the MLO in these missions

[pliant zealot]

ohhhhh

I just tqapped into the last mission of dark waters and saw the lily everywhere. Including this door.... lol

I hid what is behind the wall to void any mission spoilers for anyone

[dawn saddle]

does it block access to the "thing" behind the wall?

[pliant zealot]

No, its unaccesable im pretty sure. It may have to do with the interactable wall to peep into the secret room

Cheeky foreshadowing?

[snow perch]

this update boosted the game into "overwhelming positive."

and for good reason ts is so fire

[cedar venture]

Oh wack I didn’t expect the dlc to already be out

[dawn saddle]

my brother have you been living under a rock

[snow perch]

bro is alive?

yeah its so good, check it out!

[cedar venture]

Something like that

[snow perch]

bros rock is hardened

💯

[cedar venture]

It’s honestly more of a fortress than a rock lmao

But yeah college has kinda been taking up all of my time

I am infact alive though, shocking as it may be

[snow perch]

I assume finals coming up for you?

[dawn saddle]

I have 5 essays due tmr and i choose to play the game yesterday

[cedar venture]

How have y’all been doing lol

And yeah finals week is here for me

[snow perch]

been good man, its been nice hearing from you

[snow perch]

rip

[cedar venture]

Eh it’ll go smooth (I hope) lmao

Just been cramming on finishing some assignments

[cedar venture]

Thank you, by the way! HOPEFULLY I’ll be able to be a bit more active here after finals lol

[snow perch]

hell yeah

my brother is suffering from finals rn

he panicking 😭

[cedar venture]

I feel that on a personal level

[snow perch]

I got finals next week and I might be cooked (I crammed for all my tests and it was just in my short term memory)

[lime grove]

You’re not wrong. In fact it was a scrapped map in the early access builds

[dawn saddle]

🥲

[autumn geyser]

One of the ideas that I had is that this is how the MLO gets its test subjects for their drug experiments

They let a few batches of people through but then every now and then they take the group for themselves and pay the coyotes

Coyotes don't care and can't report cause they themselves are criminals, the kidnapped can't say shit cause they can't get out, no one is searching for them, and they illegally immigrated anyways, and the MLO get test subjects without having to scour for homeless people or something

As per this theory

[topaz jackal]

i came back to see if anyone smarter than me got anyth from the elysian level

the secret achievement & the package was mad sus

[topaz jackal]

oh someone has already

dude i got jumpscared and shot one of these mannequins when i turned a corner

they're fucking everywhere

[coarse oriole]

Hey, can someone enahance the screenshot of the text messages between Judge and a USIA agent?

[coarse oriole]

Can you make it clearer?

[idle salmon]

idk why but the tablet has such a bright glow imma try messing with the settings

[shrewd yarrow]

managed to get a close up

very last massage is: "one day"

[shrewd yarrow]

Redacted: Still on for this afternoon At Elysion Hotel. Be there by 1500 no later. Once this is done, it never happened

Judge: You need to tell me more about what's going on here.

Redacted: There is no 'more'. You know what you need to know

Judge: I know we go back, but I won't send my men to die without knowning why.

Redacted: If they are your men, and your're still the man you were, they won't be at risk.

Judge: Fuck you

Redacted: No thx, maybe later. Black Sentinel are bad news. They have been sniffing around for a long time, including tracking down Gerard Scott. You got to him first. Now they are after something else. Can't Say. You'll know when you see it.

Judge And the other guys?

Redacted: Nobodies. Pirates who travel the coast pillaging. They are out of their league. What they have cannot get into BS hands
Would I lead you astray?
Remember Nevada?
??

Judge: Fine. I'll get a team ready, but one day you're giving me answers.

Redacted: One day

[idle salmon]

based thank you

[shrewd yarrow]

np!

it was alittle blurry but i think i managed to translate it the best i could

[cyan chasm]

“Fuck You”
“No thx. Maybe Later”

Me: There’s already a lot we’re missing on Judge as a character this isn’t helping, even if sarcastic

[shrewd yarrow]

xD

[sacred dawn]

This is Judge's boyfriend or crush?😳 👉 👈

[supple pulsar]

Question

What's a good online app to build one of these? 😭

[autumn geyser]

Pen and Paper™ from your local store

[strange jolt]

i love that app

[left bough]

also some thumbtacks and string

and maybe a printer

[shrewd yarrow]

😮

date for Resort

[coarse oriole]

1 year later

Our last mission was Narcos, 2026

[shrewd yarrow]

this is yachts date

and here's Oil Rig

[supple pulsar]

09/15/2027.

The key from before

[shrewd yarrow]

yep!

[coarse oriole]

Bro, are the evidence bugged?

[cedar prairie]

Hey everyone, been playing for a few months, found out about the ARG recently. Want to help out, where can I best help?

[autumn geyser]

We basically just need more people to throw at the problem kinda like the infinite monkeys with typewriters
Everything else is to some extent fine

If you wanna catch up, v2 doc that's pinned is the simplified version, v1 is the one we use between arg members and it has way more detail but is also more of a mess

And of course, we appreciate any help

[supple pulsar]

We're currently on standby waiting for another Lilies message, right?

[autumn geyser]

Yep

[glossy epoch]

I have tried to help but I am as bad as I can be

[autumn geyser]

.

[autumn geyser]

You haven't seen me in ciphers

[supple pulsar]

Also, Linas, do you guys have a separate server for the ARG crew?

[autumn geyser]

Not really

More of a friend group server with a few members of the arg and a few other friends and so on, but no real arg crew server

[cedar prairie]

I have read the doc.

So just throw myself in and see what sticks?

[autumn geyser]

Yeah honestly that works

That's what basically all of us did

[cedar prairie]

Good good.

[autumn geyser]

We just exist, do what we can, see what we can do well, and help where we can

I suck ass at ciphers so I at most stick to schizo ramblings after it's been solved, managing the doc, and if need be, tracing shadows in images

There's people here who are really good at ciphers, and they do that

Though don't get discouraged from ciphers because they seem hard - it's often just finding the right word and cipher combo, and it's just a matter of time and patience

[cedar prairie]

I saw that the dispatch computer had an address in it for a call. Has anyone looked into that yet?

[autumn geyser]

No phone calls afaik
