personally I'm just doubting myself now that I couldn't replicate it
which is why I thought the explanation of the two gangs talking or something made a ton of sense
I dont think thats a feature though, exept when they eandomly just yell "FUCKERS" across the door
Intresting
I even turned up my volume and got yelled at by my spouse lol
Lol
Now it's gonna drive me crazy, I gotta find a way to get it again
Do what tou did before
Possibly tabbing out can do something, but I doubt it
And it's the entrance, we never know if thats just random police chatter
well if the game can detect cheat engine I'm sure it can detect an alt-tab. That is a difference between my replication attempts honestly
Okay trying it again now
1 thats not hoe anticheat work 2. Idk if I can detect that
Honestly I haven't looked into it, I just know people complained about shooting trash bags when using cheat engine
Its like how Minecraft detected piracy with a fake error message, they got banned from their respective places
hmmm still coming up empty so far I think. I can't tell if these are ambient sounds or quiet voices. I'm gonna try in the morning when I can actually use my sound
I'll give it a shot before bed, hotel just sit around spawn and you heard ambient noises/possible voice/knocking or something right?
i got some time to kill
yeah that's about the size of it
i still get a ton of ambient noise but no creepy voice like the first time
you're like 100% sure there was a voice yea? so far just a bunch of bumps and scuffling for me. when did the voices start?
I'm not 100% sure it was a voice honestly, it started after about 5 minutes I think
hmmm im 10 in and nothing but bumps
Is there a pin to catch up on all this?
Yes
So you guys know that hallway in port with the creepy white graffiti at the end ?
There’s a red lit room to the right did anyone try to clip through to see what’s up in there
still no luck on the voices, oh well was worth a shot. about that whispering statue though does anyone have a clip of that?
You talking about the hotel one? and the line of it just saying "Hey" ?
yea, curious about it
Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I looked back and saw no one say anything, but about a day ago i saw a post on reddit talking about a drawing that would fade away when he left the room on crack house. Did anyone else see that post? ill try and find it
the like red thing on the wall?
yeah I've seen that thing pop up before! Same as this guy said, my friend couldn't see it not even through headcam
not really sure what triggers it but run crackhouse barricaded a few times and you're bound to get it
Could just be a visual glitch of course but i doubt it
definitely not a visual glitch, that's 100% intentional
not exactly sure of it's message/meaning but it's definitely no accident
for sure
the little girl's drawing in her room seem to change as well
I've seen at least two different versions of her drawings
it's affected by the "world decal" settings, i've been turning density up to 100% and fade to about 80%
same with the girls drawings
Has anyone translated the Russian/Ukranian playing in the projector room on car dealership?
Just used a translator on that audio file. Don't know how accurate it is but it seems correct
Appreciate it man, I tried to see if anyone else did it but couldn't find any previous posts about it. I also tried to use google translate on my phone but all it got was "frog frog".
I used something called happy scribe. I think it got some words wrong but for the most part the sentences look complete
I found bing chilling out of coincidence and didnt even know about that conspiracy stuff
Whats with that sound? That alleyway serves no purpose, no civilians or suspects there. This is barricaded suspects btw so the place is new Ig.

bro i found the secret me and my friends found it
just windchimes
@placid crown whats the point of this channel lmao
In game ARG
so this channel is just to argue?
ARG is alternate reality game, check the pins
Yea think about it as a really in depth Easter egg
hmmm has anyone figured it out?
Parts. The pinned google doc tells you what's found out and whats being worked on
ohhh ok
Wait so into carcosa became this?
Afaik carcosa arg is closed and sepulchre arg isnt connected, i may be wrong tho
Nice banner
But, I doubt they aren't connected. Probably the same thing but rebranded or renamed
Idk, but I don't think they would just give up on carcosa
What if it's like the game's Shangri-La
idk someone said they werent connected and carcosa was scrapped but they may connect later on or maybe theyre already connected we will see
i think it's more like a call for help than actual clues
to be fair, Guinevere did this a while ago, it got the whole arg back up again
well more like a 911 call tbh
yeah lol
i would be surprised if that's a clue tho
i am way too late on this but i saw that huntr git hired eventually
or was he already a member of void and got the roles wrong?
"Buy cheap, buy twice" mission. Why Три Козлёночка?
Three Little Goats??
Yes
I do not think that it is; raihaku's statuses are always weird, and random
Im from Russia actually and Im asking why this in the game 😮
we dont know too lol It may be part of the ARG
it only plays if I stand on that specific point tho. Like that phone ring
Thank you
very possible its just ambiance but the fact theres a new big open area with no civi/suspects and enough care about the area to put in a sound cue? thats got my attention. I still think the main focus needs to be on lead 3 the 167...... but maybe theres more in game to be discovered
Aight imma take my sleeping pills while playing RoN, want to experience sepulchre first hand
Have fun.
What is this channel?
Does this mean anything to you? Russian proverb or a poem?
its a channel about ARG, alternate reality gaming
Russian fairy tail that's it
i think thats a childrens tale
Is it long? Could you paste it here?
I watched one episode of it, it was about 3 goats and a bridge troll lol
there maybe some message to it but idk
I dont have that much time to translate the whole text
No worries. I was just curious. I'll look into it too
I can send you message with whole story in Russian
it was playing on the projector in the car dealership mission
where do the MLO spawn?
Probably has nothing to do with any of the theories, but does rondonopolis ring a bell? I put that file name or whatever and turned it into coordinates
not sure if they're confirmed MLO or not, but the closest you'll find is on the farm
oh ok
I believe the guys on farm aren't atm MLO, but they are meant to be in the end
Ah I just assumed since they're paramilitary and looked similar to the guys in the MLO evidence video that they were MLO, to be fair havent done farm in a hot minute
Yeah they're meant to be in the end product, but the concept are for MLO (from what the mods have sent) is supposed to make em look very different
ah, got a link to that?
It was from one of the mods, I think Jalapeno in #👮ron-discussion
#👮ron-discussion message Start here and scroll up
ah so those guys are MLO, just the farm map is meant to be filled with the other cult looking dudes in the finished product I see
From my understanding yeah, they still look great asf, just more to come apparently
yeah thats how it usually goes
lmao
@placid crown has there been anything on the voice?
I scanned it and it gave me this number
222222888888
Oh boy another number
call it
ill run it through google to see if it comes up with anything
Toc. This is entry team. Goodnight
Not much came up when I looked
i got a carti earrape video
Atleast we got something
tried to do some bs with their website and butting the numbers at the end of the link got nothing
Could it maybe have something to do with the other number thays unsolved? Defiently a long shot just throwing it out there
16732266154100745600000000000000000000000000000000000000000
(thats 41 0's at the end if that helps at all)
oh?
ill look up cyphers with it
They already said the numbers would require us to use multiple steps to solve it, which is one of the issues atm with solvin
im still curious about the "you could be so much more if you cut away the rot" quote, maybe hinting to rot cipher like the bank robber hint, or hinting at cutting away some part that's misleading us
ASCII+99 MRSONNRRMQPMLLSPQRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
ASCII[!-~]+66 MRSONNRRMQPMLLSPQRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
[A-Z0-9]+15 MRSONNRRMQPMLLSPQRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
run those threw something?
link the reddit cypher you found, this could be a good step forward
im shooting in the dark
a shot in the dark is better than no shot at all
he attempted to use binary when he was told that, either binary is one of the two parts or they were simply commenting that it isnt always going to be just a substitution table
PGCVFFODJGDEF
i got rid of the zeros and but the remaining into a a1z26 decypher
might try a rot cypher for the remaining letters
It may be a little more than ciphers
like?
Well here is what we have in terms of clues for the filename cipher.
-It is 2 step process
-It will spell out a sentence, most likely a key to something later
-It NEEDS to be solved, to make later clues possible/easier
-The number of zeros does not matter, but they may still be important.
- The file name is NOT a date. That was an coincidence
-Someone tried Binary and was onto something. Unconfirmed if binary is an actual step needed.
-We must think beyond just letter ciphers. It isn't just an x to number or x to letter cipher.
-The cipher is simple, but not exactly easy.
we also know thatwill yis part of the plaintext
but where could these letters go
might be a stretch maybe we need to sort it through multiple different ways to get the whole sentence? every output is far too short to be a sentence on its own (such as will y)
I say start backwards, even if we don't have it all, try to work backwards and get to what the full picture is
Maybe we're missing a piece
or they wouldnt they said no more hints
Yea I'm overthinking it
Missing a piece would be a very important hint to include in what we have, otherwise it's all for nothin
I read though this. Nice work. 
going for a streach will y kinda sounds like a proposial
I suspect it's probably "will you join us" or something like that. "Will you blossom?"
how did we get to "will y", thats likely out best place to start and we can work backwards from there since we actually got a word out of that
We have a new lead?
actualy will you blossom sounds better since the whole flower head thing from that weird video
just discussing lead 3 atm
And "Join us and blossom" from dialogue.
Alright.
this sounds like it could be true
found this with the full number https://www.reddit.com/r/decipher/comments/sf7erz/_/
4 days old
Wait, how does this work?
I'm new to this. Where's this 16732266154100745600 000000000000000000000000000000000000000 from?
what do you mean how does this work
check the pins for the ARG google doc, its lead 3
Like, what is that image, lmfao.
idk
I don't understand it at all..
just ut was there when i looked up the number
just keep it in mind i dont think its par toff it
SHIT that guy eith the same code comented on ready or not shit
Wait what?
??
read his history
Oh wait, different guy.
csgo
?
are you thinking this goes with the number?
Wait he might have seen the clue in this discord since he got the same hint of it saying on the right track
yea probably just posted about lead 3 on r/decipher
If it's not a substitution cipher I'd guess it's probably some kind of math-y thing to do with the numbers, or it's some other kind of encryption (given the clue about binary, but could be decimal, etc.)
The 0s really stick out though, how could the number not matter, yet it's still important?
Only other thing I can think of is the image is a weird 2755x2628 res, (127 pixel difference).
We already got halfway on it. It's in octal so you transfer it from octal to hex, then hex to ascii
The other zeros are like missing data, at least 15 characters worth
I was going to say maybe the qr code number and telephone number play a part but I think thats more than a stretch
The current data spells out "will y"
has anyone scanned the QR code on the box next to the non ringing phones on hotel? I dont think its related tot his number string but it may be something
I know there was one on port so it could be the same one
unless that was a different qr code?
I think they were talking about the one on port
interesting, let me check out the qr on hotel and see if its the same one or different real quick
definitely different 
I scanned it 3 times and got different results each time so maybe someone else will have some luck
I got no luck
did anyone get anymore infromation about the chatter in the motel barricaed suspects
I tried a couple times but nada, just the usual ambient bumping
the ambient noise on hotel is freaky man
idk last night someone said there was voices, not just thumping
what did they say caused it?
tabbing out
ill read the chat from last night and give it a go
ill give it a go. Ill use nvidia replay if i hear anything
nothing so far aside from the usual bumps
idk maybe the guy was going insane or something lol
I defiently think that there is something on that map
not the barricaded suspects but the one with the statue
hold on boys. those pictures of the lost, all those faces do we have the originals? what APMK said gave me an idea
the ones that someone layered them all together to see if it made anything
yeah?
APMK brought up the weird resolution on the 167....... image, do the others have weird resolutions too? could be the missing numbers.
2 names a date and something else I don't have a screen shot
seems like a good shot. I think the doc has all the ss
uninspectable
would need the original uploads
ill check the statue real quick in a raid
I downloaded them off the google doc and it says they're all 784x785 but can't confirm if that's the original res.
hmmmm okay
Was trying to mess around with layering them through different color channels or other weird stuff since they're all kinda different colors (except the first one that's b/w) but nothing so far, though I'm not sure I've done a terribly good job of it anyways.
the statue is made by a person named Olivia Brown, in 1977 dedicated to Micheal Strasky and the hotel
And I almost died LOL
I like this information, I'll keep it.
unless maybe its some weird math shit with the resolution of the 167 image? (x or divide the file name by the resolution or the difference)? only reason im thinking that might be wrong is cause we already got "will y" without messing with the string
or the amount of pixels in the image perhaps?
If you want some random knowlege, the voyager 1 launched in 1977
Home's profile picture seems to be missing a real face, what if we try putting one of those six faces over it?
whos
You know, this thing.
ohhhhh
Have we tried messing with the brightness of these 6 faces?
I'm not too sure on how the string of 00s could finish the sentence without other info. Feels like it's a good number more characters that are missing.
I did, didn't see nothing
Oh.
how did we find out it says will y
you know what this is kinda messed up but what if thats what remains after a shotgun blast to the head
☝️
That actually makes sense.
like the guy behind the counter in gas station?
yep
I could see that
destroyed
What if they're just wounded faces from SWAT raids?
wounded? you mean demolished
Yeah, yeah..
I just have no idea where we would get that many new numbers from, they said the number of 0s doesnt matter but may be important, so maybe it isnt exactly 41 other numbers?
I heard we got halfway through that number?
im gonna keep messing with resolution math 🤔 they said we have everything we need so we cant be far off
halfway through the missing 41?
Through uh, 16732266154100745600000000000000000000000000000000000000000
i swear to god if this is the answer i will fucking scream like this lead
ah, we 're on the right track. dunno if id say halfway but we're somewhere near the mark
Right.
so we have everything we need but we cant figuar it out
its a process
maybe im pulling the "we have everything we need" out of my ass but from how its being talked about and how theres no more hints being given I assume theres nothing being left out, its just up to us to put it together the right way
ima run hotel whats the map called again ill give it a look down for those voices as well
have we ever looked at whats on stuff like teh cargo dossier?
Raid Hotel Lobby.
got it
Also I wouldn't mind tagging along.
same, but I dont have a mic rn
I'm not sure where any of my face-combining things could even lead since it's all faces, but, at least a curious bit of info is that one of them does match.
The resolutions aren't quite the same (and I can probably do a few pixels more accurate than this if needed since I was just testing it out quickly) but the greenish face matches the neck and stuff pretty closely.
All the other faces are way off, they're closer in and have no neck.
(This is with brightness and contrast up just to make it a bit more obvious how it overlays cause it's quite dark otherwise.)
If yall take 3 I'll make 4
ill join lol
Joining a vc?
Interesting, not sure where this gets us exactly, but it does look like it matches, kinda.
if were to get into a vc itd be general
If you're up for it.
meet you there
I'm having a Pizza so uh, yeah.
what toppings
Veggie + Bacon.
Never had veggie
It's pretty good, they were all out of the other stuff, so I had to opt in.
@strong idol you can find my steam profile on my discord profile tofriend me
36267565 does this number ring any bells ?
Not for me
where had you find it?
stevie you got 5 people rooting for you
So basically it was confirmed that these numbers were octal right, then convert them to binary, then hex, then ASCII. We find “will y”, I’m guessing the second word is “you”, and “you” is 79 6F 75 in hex, then I just backtracked till octal again and we end up with 36267565, which should be the start of the next set of numbers we should work with I guess
That’s why I’m asking if we have any current lead or set of number that starts with 36267565
gotcha working backwards, i see I see
had me hyped up cause I ran the number octal>hex and got the word "you" so we thought you might have had the info we needed
I mean just from the base 167etc. we get "will y" so we'd only be looking for the "ou" if that is the right path to go down
just got home from work, so nothing on my end
The body in the background and the lighting makes it look like a Resident Evil game. lol
Right my bad
The octal number would then be 2267565
to be fair it did come out to "will yp" but i dont know why they removed the p
The binary to that is 10010110111101110101
This stands for “ou”
This lead is kinda fucked if the word isn’t “you” lmao
gas station flower
mariposa lily*
its really out of place, you can find plenty of boards with the same stuff but no flower
But what would be the meaning of that iteself
Maybe by killing them we’re bringing them together
going on a tangent here totally talking out of my ass
how about the wierd ass fucking vid that void jsut posted
Which one
warped image (2755 x 2628)
wait with me, for a while. just for a minute. i'm not ready to go yet.

if you want to see all of the nerd shit i've tried on this filename: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1WpiTr7rAJZdnXG_Xn5Fu5wbmkZ3TtZ4j?authuser=3#scrollTo=5FNlE1sKgE93&line=1&uniqifier=1
oh boy
Oh shit
i've also tried overlaying the faces on top of each other but that doesn't really expose anything immediately obvious
stevie your a god
but yeah go ham and see if you can crack this shit 
How are we this stupid.
How so
used for what[
Did it help
you solved it in like a few hours
the file names to text in other puzzles
what a guy
yeah those filenames are just simple a1z26. except for "bring us together" which is gwynn cipher
blossom.... the flower found in the gas station is a mariposa lily
Told you
I mean we still don’t have the rest of the text do we
that could be it though
Hopefully!
The only thing that matters now is finding a set of numbers that starts w this to replace those zeros
What's happening?
shh
@ivory wren ?
just dont move
supposed creepy voices if we wait? just testing
may not be improtant, but there were flickering lights at the new hotel map, it went like -.....- on morse code, so I dont ecepect it to be useful, maybe another cipher
I cant wait for some suspet to randomly open the door
we definitely think it's octal->hex->ascii but not sure what to do with the rest of it... because those zeroes look like missing information
Because you are making a racjet yourself
So we still have somthing hidden from us we can explore?
idk
make sure to record the game incase we miss something
AFK at spawn, seeing if we get audio queues.
octal>hex>ascii for sure seems like the right path at least so far. im just trying to think of possible numbers ie the number of pixels on the 167etc photo, or maybe the difference in the x and y
if we can get anny talking, it might be what we needed
Which photo was that again?
Also, should we try again? Looks like a wash.
Tottaly did accidently move my mouse
Same.
yeah retry
the warped image. i linked it in my info dump above
<#🪹the-sepulchre-arg message>
Im hopping off soon, so I might just leave, I might interifer with anything
Just distribing to think about "why is there so much banging?"
True.
I'm not hearing anything.
just dont make a sound my volume is wayyyyyy up
lol
B(.
rip
F
I gotta hop off anyways
peace bud
See you.
Imagine all the enemies on the map just congregate into the first room. lol
rip
1 more minute for good faith.
they musta been hearing things
1 more min
Turns out the voice was a suspect yelling "FUCKERS" across the map
Sad, I thought I had something with supposedly happened to him
Is there a file named robber.bank?
anyone looked into the music that plays on the little girls radio on crackhouse? sounds slowed down
we got a government file leading to a company with a dude who took shares before it closed
just some stuff around the girls room + audio of the song
lets try not to clutter this chat with too much nonsense lol
😳
Lemon that's a slowed down version of the RoN trailer music
is this normal? or is my game broken?
B) this is only for uh, certified detectives
lord christ, I started playing this game because my milsim arma friends wanted to play """swat5"""
what the fuck is carcosa and why do I see weird, masked man in my dreams
in all seriousness, keep up the great work boyos. 3301 forever.
cant post image in there
Is there a tutorial?
No. Do you have any questions in particular?
a good map to learn on i guess
masked man in my dreams
there's a lot of masked men out there, was it the one with the plague doctor mask, some dude crawling on all fours with a gas mask, or a dude in a doctor's uniform with a gas mask and a gun?
I legit cannot get the voices on Hotel to proc again, I'm just gonna assume sound was travelling weird and confused me or I was just flat out hearing things.
What if the trail of 0s are a trail off. Like when someone writes something and the pencil trails off the page, or if you pass out with your finger on a key. If the amount of 0s don't matter..
idk maybe, but then this becomes a very short sentence
Next dumb idea.. what transforming into binary, you then transform it into Morse code
i don't know if there's a standard way to convert Morse into binary, since technically it's base 3 (dit, dah, silence)
At work so I cant test it out but I have an idea, since we think the 0's are placeholder could we have to reorder the original number string to get the other parts of the message? My rough idea is maybe the whole rot clue isnt to reorder the letters at the end but maybe the numbers at the start? (Idea came from the resolution difference being 127, so maybe base position, moved one positions, and moved 6 positions?)
Or really any other number of positions over just to see if any coherent messages come through
We tried yesterday, nothing happened
I heard the whisper just today when doing a raid
Shit left me paranoid for the rest of the game
I heard the first one
I immediately turned around in a panic and fired a few shots then I realized I was standing next to the statue in the hall
I just looked at it in fear like
Yea lmao, I didn’t even know there was an ARG until recently. Those whispers spooked me and some friends
would anyone like to do some investigations on the maps we didnt check yesterday
For sure.
What maps have you not checked yet?
What exactly are you guys looking for?
it got removed
The reddit thread, yes
but the actual image is still there
oh yeah for sure but still sad
y'all know what it is with molly? I thought the kid might also be st
Reddit mods on some stuff
I was waiting for the little fucker to get thrown out
Oop wrong channel lmao my b
where is the shooting run timer end button ?
No new ideas so far today on lead 3? 🤔
Dont think so
Nope.
I'm grasping at straws here but didnt we have to mirror the warped image to make it match the original art? Have we tried reversing the number at various stages through the decryption?
I'm about all out of ideas and brain cells at this point
Well, try it.
At work rn gonna try stuff when I get home
Alright.
So how far did we get with the bank robber thing
If bank robber is what we seek I’m guessing there’s something we’re missing when it comes to the files itself
We got to something about a child in a doghouse being neglected, similar to the child's pram and toys in the doghouse in twisted nerve raid mode.
Not exactly sure how we got to that point.
Pram yeah
the bank could relate to .bankfiles we also found the next maps in those files
pram?
yeah, basically a stroller, same thing.
I think it's the same thing? I'm not uh exactly a uh baby care expert
ah seems like it's mainly used in British English so my yankee brain didn't get it lol
It's British? I feel awful for using British terminology now.
Bribish
Have people solved what the little frog statue in Hotel says? Or am I late on that lmao
Frog statue?
Yea on the second floor. I’m not at my PC right now or I’d send a pic
It has Egyptian Heiroglyphs on it
Raid or barricaded?
Barricaded
It’s something involving a woman and wick (h)
I couldn’t get further than that on it
You have screenshots of the frog?
Alright, maybe we can run a match, take a look, yeah?
Sure thing, but it’d have to be sometime tomorrow. I gotta head into work
Got it.
im home now and dont feel like screwing with numbers, I'll grab a ss of the frog thing 🤷♂️
@ivory wren read lead 4 of loaf's doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PEVmB78s9T0wmntGuN5MFjgVCLVB0PQahtPL1FBxtlI/edit#heading=h.h961u5nlmwnn
tldr:
- "stand by the lost" easter egg (currently bugged?): if you stand next to the chair on the far right of the altar room in the pre-game lobby/HQ and wait for 1 minute, the clue audio will play
- clue audio = 2 things, first thing is "yankee doodle" played in reverse, slowed down, with distortion. it sounds weird and spooky. plays for about 1.5-2 minutes. second thing is 3 seconds of LOUD garbled audio that honestly sounds like you're on vc and someone's mic is fucked up
- if you turn off all in-game sound except FX and record the 3 seconds of noise at the end, you will see the "bank robber for what you seek - levels/lobby" text in the spectrogram
- "bank" is a pun on
.bankfile, which is the file formatting for the game files - if you extract the game's audio files from
Game/ReadyOrNotLevel/Menu_V2/Lobby_V2.umap, you will find:
bankrobber.wav
nacirema_na_fo_gniward.wav
m1_credits.wav - bankrobber and nacirema_na_fo_gniward are what you heard in the in-game easter egg
m1_credits.wavis audio of morse code that decodes to "YOU THOUGHT WE WOULDN'T THINK OF THIS TOO NEGLECTED LIKE THE CHILD THROWN INTO THE DOGHOUSE"- on the raid version of meth house, the little girl is missing from her room and there is a dead dog outside of the doghouse in the backyard
loaf's doc has more detailed explanation and pics
havent found the frog statue but I did find this?
Oh, that explains how we got this "WOULDN'T THINK OF THIS TOO NEGLECTED LIKE THE CHILD THROWN INTO THE DOGHOUSE," thanks.
It’s in that room to the right. A little table has it
ah found it
Yee
I’m pretty sure it’s a Statue of Heqet. Which means it’s promoting fertility. Still no clue on what the Glyphs say yet
The dead dog and the stroller are also present on barricaded suspects btw
the glyphs just mean Heqet lol
Goddamnit
damn
unrelated
The frog is meant for us to establish our own version of MLO, clearly
if it's the Vietnam guy, that's a red herring
i'd love to translate the ones on the boat/clock thing but that might take a while
here's better lighting incase anyone is interested 🤷♂️ both bottom squares are the same but mirrored
man... hieroglyph on both the circumference of the clock and on the platform
maybe. think we'd have to rip the game files to make it readable
No idea, I think the presence of it is kinda specific but I have no idea
thank god the devs haven't obfuscated the asset names lmao
so i know a person who thinls the hotel map is the same one where this asian chick died and wound up in a watter tank
that's the Cecil hotel. i don't think they would do that though
i mean like as a referance
Found the clock
found it irl but the hieroglyphs are different
Ayo
lol beat me to it
Lmao, I wonder what they say
her death was mysterious but the best explanation is that she was having a mental break https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Elisa_Lam . also the cecil hotel is NOT a fancy hotel like the one in the game
nvm about that
Why was Belle at that hotel in the first place? I don’t entirely know lol
because she was doing the devils tango with the biker gangs leader
Ohhh
wtf where is that
tf?
out of bounds raid hotel
It was always Bearington
be me
doesnt want to mess with numbers today. too much work.
decides to learn fucking hieroglyphs instead
You found my throne
I’m fairly sure both of those are just to promote fertility when they do the deed lol. Isis and Heqet are both related to fertility, but the glyphs being different is a little weird
Since I found your throne, we deserve a hint right
You sit upon a throne of lies
Im sure they just love watching us squirm with lead 3 lol
I’m extraordinarily new to this. What’s lead 3?
see loaf's doc in pins
Thank you!
rocking nice sunglasses
feddy fazber
he solved it
where in hotel is this again? barricaded suspects (ie upper floors) or lobby? and which room?
barricaded suspects, second floor in the bikers room
Kek is a representation of the Primordial void
In Egyptian mythology, Kek and Kauket symbolized primordial darkness that existed before the creation of the universe. They were a part of the chaos and lived in the watery void
But the goddess being presented is Heqet
But it’s probably just da meme frog
The true leader of MLO, the frog
Dear god
Police dashboard, the red buttons are for the sirens, to my knowledge. You'll never guess what the radio does
im ttalkin abt the numbers on the radio
I'm not sure, it's certainly not similar to police cruisers I've seen. I'd imagine it's just some car identification mumbo jumbo
does the radio drive the car?
Yes, it's similar to how Joe Swanson starts his car
child thrown in doghouse?
is that port?
It's always the people with that sticker that drive like the biggest jackasses
Mostly company vehicles like trucks
if u gotta complain call 911 you bitch
this reminds me of that one video in russia where the guy honks at tthe car in front of him and like 3 or 4 fully covered spetsnaz guys come out and threaten him
I thought he honked at them, basically blocked them in the road, walked up to their car with the camera and they had pistols drawn on him by the time they rolled the window down
Unless that's a diff vid
This is more of a cage, we have a literal doghouse with children's stuff on twisted nerve tho

Ron players time traveling to ancient to ancient greece to find the legendary "kek" for the ARG
Kek is the best piece of lore
found it in game files. its part of a third party asset pack
Ron players asking ancient Egyptians to explain glyphs on a clock.
hmm. is that barcode the same one on port?
it's trash so it shows up on multiple maps iirc
ahhh
if i may ask how do you look at the files
https://www.gildor.org/en/projects/umodel
use this to browse files
thank you
finally found it
This is off topic of that but I've been at this file number thing for a while trying to decode it and I haven't gotten anywhere. Have you tried anything that you thought could of been close?
closest we got was interpreting the number as octal -> convert to hex -> convert to ascii. this gives will yp and a bunch of garbage characters. no idea where to go from there
I've converted so much to so much I can't even list it. I think we need to look into "cut away the rot" maybe the 0's are completely useless?
I mean even the ones in the number that aren't connected to the final string
ive tried removing the extra zeroes and then splitting it up to apply a1z26 and gwynn cipher to it. i don't think i tried every possible combination but i tried a lot
other people have tried a bunch of stuff too
I'm gonna try some more stuff tommrow but I gotta get sleep right now. I think I'm overlooking it to much
i don't want to discourage you too much from trying more stuff though because who knows, you might come at it with a fresh mind and crack it
What's this?
Some kind of cryptic easter egg hunt for RoN?
I saw Egyptian things and I'm immediately interested
Could i ask what program this is?
found this piece of paper, i dunno what it is but i'll try and transcribe it the best i can:
"JARETH's great hall. he stands by a window and looks out over the labyrinth - from this ||Blacked Out|| the (/) the surround the castle walls, the arid plain that leads to the dense forest, encircling that the complex (?). He (?) lent in thought. The WHITE BIRD enters the window and lands on his shoulder. Behind him ||Blacked Out|| His slippery crawl is too much for the GOBLINS that scurry about, trying to mind him. Meanwhile, a particularly stupid looking GOBLIN begins to approach JARETH. he saunters across the room and is stopped short by a FEMALE GOBLIN. She grabs hold of his shirt and (?) a warning
FEMALE GOBLIN: Remember! It's bow and scrape... bow and scrape...
The STUPID GOBLIN nods and she lets him go. HE then continues his approach to JARETH, only this time he does a little bow and then scrapes his foot across the floor, then repeats the action.
JARETH turns and (?) ||Blacked Out||
JARETH:||Blacked Out||
JARETH: I said, what is (?)!
STUPID GOBLIN: ||Blacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked outBlacked out||
JARETH drops the GOBLIN hard on the floor. Freddie(?) (?) thin and laughs with delight. JARETH walks over and scoops the BABY up in his arms. He then carries him over to the window. He calls over to an ARMED GOBLIN by the door.
JARETH: I think its time they had some company.
(The last sentence is unreadable, will try and fix when i find it again
31 EX D CABFLE - DAY
JARETHS POV
ARMED GOBLINS ARE ||Blacked out||"
Found a book aswell, rough translation from latin as follows:
"who is neither of the Moecenos. For the most important tips for the tips or the delis tinddit, molestle bedtime vehicles and pelentesque the arau of life becomes more important than the lion diquam as the author. Cras est baus rutrum set pulvinar vellt ullamcorper non Phaselus laoreet vestbulum metus vel ultrices nunc commodo ut. Aeneasn labortis purus at sem convenient, vengeful ultirides mass said. Proin eu enim quis nioh scelerisque valutepatat id nibh. It's not like thcidurt-free
Even dust sometimes. None"
Obtained from original dialect:
"Moecenos quis est neque. Nam sapien magna tindunt vel delis tinddunt, molestle tempor lectus Phaselus vehicula pelentesque arau vitae efficitur quam ut auctor leo diquam ut. Cras est baus rutrum set pulvinar vellt ullamcorper non phaselus laoreet vestbulum metus vel ultrices nunc commodo ut. Aeneasn labortis purus at sem commode, ultrices ultirides massa dictum. Proin eu enim quis nioh scelerisque valutepatat id nibh. Praesent et dom ornare labortis velit non, thcidurt libero
Etiam pulvhor interdum. Nullam et eusmod nist."
might be a bit scuffed since its hard to read lol
think it's a red herring from an asset pack
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/retro-office-environment
Does this screw with the "will y"? If so i dont think it can be that as we have confirmation that "will y" is part of the solution
Maybe not a red herring, but filler content. Like the QR codes
same for the latin text, i think it's just lorem ipsum. it's on both the anatomy book and the warfare one
Yea this is my guess, didnt someone say theres currently no content in game that's ARG related? Then again the standing by the chair for a minute is in there so maybe that's changed
well we had to go into the game files for the "bank robber for what you seek" clue
Hmm true. I dont remember how far back that was stated so it could be outdated
I think game files are different than 'in game' though.
the in-game arg thing about standing next to a chair, it played audio that basically said to go in the game files, and that's where the next clue was
Ohhhhhh
im also just digging around in order to sort out filler content from stuff made by VOID and to get better resolution
but to your point it's very likely that there might not be anything ARG related besides the levels/lobby folder with the audios about the neglected child in the dog house
I'm not very experienced in photo manipulation, is there any reason why warping the original swat guy holding the injured swat guy image would change the resolution to such a weird number? If not I feel like that has to be intentional and currently that's my last guess as to how we solve this. Either we have to use those numbers in a certain order or do some sort of math with them to get the right numbers
image warp operation doesn't need to change the image dimensions
Forgive me if I seem like I'm trying to cut in line or something, but I'm incredibly new to this. I can't read-and-drive for obvious safety reasons, is there a podcast episode or video that I could listen to while driving that would catch me up on this chase? The one in the pinned messages by Inspector Loaf's channel doesn't exist anymore, and catching up on nearly four years of ARG seems rather daunting.
no worries. unfortunately no podcast but duerag may have a few videos with updates about the ARG. generally loaf's doc is the most comprehensive and you should read that when you're not driving https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PEVmB78s9T0wmntGuN5MFjgVCLVB0PQahtPL1FBxtlI/edit#heading=h.q93uz0oeyrug
Eli did you ever give the resolution numbers a shot? Like maybe replacing the zeros with x resolution, y resolution, difference or some variation of that? I gotta get going to work soon otherwise I'd test it myself real quick
Probably a dumb question cause you've likely tried a ton more options than anyone else here lol
i did a little bit but not much
warped img dimensions are 2755 x 2628
and then the spooky faces all have the same resolutions
Maybe "unite us" from home isnt part of the dialogue but a hint about combining them all?
🤷♂️
Are these images just pictures of different people's faces blown off or seriously injured?
6 files.
784 x 6 = 4704
785 x 6 = 4710
784(6) + 785(6) = 9414
So it could be..
4704471027552628
Or the sum of all resolutions is 14797
Or the product of all resolutions is
160411383417600
Well, we know it's not the guy from gas station..
4704471027552628
A1Z26: D G 0 D D G (A 0 or J) B G EE (B F or Z) B H
Gwynnstituion: I B A I I B (P A or U) E B X X E M E Q
160411383417600
A1Z26: (A F or P) 0 D (A A C or K C or A M) H C D (A G or Q) F 0 0
Gwynnstitution: (P M or G) A I (P P T or J T or P N) Q T I B M A A
Probably not either. They are heavily distorted, but from my limited experience as an EMT, the eye sockets and features of the human skull won't become distorted like those images due to injury - at least not without massive fractures.
Looks like gibberish to me man.
Maybe we were done with the six images after decoding the file names, maybe the actual images serve no purpose.
But then again, maybe not.
Hmmm none of those are octal which the original warped images file name is.. not to try and limit our options but I think since we have to decode the file name the other half might have to be octal too since we used octal>hexa>ascii to get "will y" which is confirmed
Also very possible
Unless we only introduce the new numbers in the hexa phase? Feels like a stretch to me but we've tried more outlandish things before
Curious, have said outlandish things produced results?
Not that I'm aware of, we've only come up with "will y(p)" so far out of everything
That came out of this right?
yea eli found that
👍
Hey so what if by “bring us together” they mean bring the two warped images together
What was the filename of the first one
Which two?
The red one and the two soldiers one
Oh, uh, maybe.
Their file name maybe
We don't know the filename of the uh, red room since that was Gwynn's discord banner.
Damn
Hi lemon.
Multiplying the resolution of the warped image gives you 7240140 which is still octal but using it alone I cant make anything of value and the ways I've tried incorporating it into the base file name destroys the translation
Didnt someone (I thought it was guin but I cant find anything so idk) say the solution would be simple but not exactly easy? I feel like the harder we think about this the farther it flies over our head.
that's correct
idk if anyone mentioned it but this ATM in the new hotel has an interesting screen and high heel logo, and there's a lone high heel just like it on the carpet when you enter the main room. thought that was a neat easter egg
the logo is the ryzen logo
feed me a stray cat

also sicily flag in italy
The isle of man flag also contains a Triskelion but i cant send it apparently lol
that's dope! didn't know that.
Similar to what's on the isle of man's Flag
although the one on that arcade cabinet is wearing high-heels from the looks of it
yeah way more similar to that
I've noticed something as well, all three of the feet are wearing high heels, but the one I've circled also has something perturbing from the front
is that anything to note or?
I'm sure it's deliberate, just not sure why yet...
what is this
I don't know if it's just the low res of a cropped down screenshot, but there's a bump, and with that protrusion it does kind of look like someone either holding out a pistol or someone pointing
where did you find that
tehy got cool ass songs in there ii wonder why they're not used yet
valley game file
for the new valley of dolls map?
Ye
weird barcode thing on a wall of the new hotel map
kinda looks like a glitched out blood splatter to me
Ya I've seen that happen alot
yeah , ive seen them on all maps
interesting, that was the first time i'd seen it
@placid crown does this sound simular to what was at the hotel?
"there are special little surprises hidden all throughout this scene. You really have to keep-"
Dunno if someone found this yet but I found this in a spectrogram of the audio you get from standing on the chair in the room with the candles.
it's from a third party asset pack
yeah its in loafs doc
Shoutout USA#11 @red sparrow , @wet venture , @shadow eagle @clear girder for getting S
new update guys, ready for a clear on all maps?
Yeah, I think I'll be clearing tmrw though.
Another numbered file name
Yeah, try a1z26 first?
what is this place, what does any of this mean.
Read the doc pinned for this channel.
oh god
Is it supporters only
No.
Nice

i would've felt really fucking dumb if the solution for the original filename was dec -> hex -> ascii. it is not. so whew
@quiet edge you were right about the whole "267565" at the end for the "ou" in "you", we just needed to find out how to get that number from previous material
and did we ?
that's what i've been trying to do for quite a bit now but I cant seem to get something that matches

this is the only channel with active people plz help

unfortunate thanks for the help anyway
yeah laol

160411383417600
2755
2628
(2755 - 2628)
does not divide evenly
we'll figure this out eventually
if it doesnt divide by 2628 or 2755 it wont divide by the product of those two combined (the total pixel count on warped image) will it
that was a dumb question
oh u right. lmao. im not even thinking with my brain im just punching numbers into shit
7240140

just incase idk at this point my last few braincells are fighting for their lives
oh actually this might not be true. python is just converting these bitches into floats URGHHHH
This has me big scared, that's why I think we need to reverse engineer tf outta this
yeah we absolutely gotta find out how to get the answer from the original filename
otherwise we're Boned
nevermind i just confirmed it by using the remainder function. none of them divide evenly

just making the formatting nicer
bless you lol im the scattershot you're the nice precise cannon ball that follows lol
so we had "will y" right, they added "we" which is 776520 in hex 7824672 in decimal and 35662440 in octal
also for getting the right answer to that, do the people running the ARG just see it and choose to proceed or do we have to @ a certain person with the answer
then they also added "save" which is 2073617665 in hex, 139374720613 in decimal and 2016330273145 in octal
none of those numbers have been mentioned before in the chat
that's what's worrying me
y'all are wild and im 100% here for the schizoposting
i think if we're gonna analyze things word by word or byte by byte, we should stick to hex
because octal and decimal are a clusterfuck on account of not fitting evenly into bytes
why put the 7 in the first place
it is very interesting to watch them work
i live in your walls
I agree with this.
how are you getting 2073617665 for save in hex? save is 4 characters = 4 bytes = 8 hex digits, but your hex value is 10 digits
My thoughts exactly haha
proceeded by elimination
took the old hex and compared it w the new one
see what changed
just popping that into a hexa to ascii translator shows "save" but im way outta my depth here
what i mean is took 77696C6C2079 "will y" and compared it w "77652077696C6C207361766520796F75"
776520 is new so its "we"
etc
77696C6C2079 ---- 776520 77696C6C 2073617665 2079 6F75 this do anything? 🤷♂️
oh i get it im stupit
nice
0x20 is ascii for (space character)
i suck at discordsoz
0x79 = y
you can split the hex value into 2-digit pairs and use this to translate. if you use any hex to ascii converter, that's all it's doing under the hood
776520 = we, 2073617665 = save, 6F75 = ou at the end
thank you lemon
also a useful convention:
0x means hex
0o means oct
0d means dec
this makes it easier to tell what format you're using for numbers
thank you eli
so we just need to find out how we were supposed to get 776520, 2073617665, and 6F75 and how we were supposed to know where to put them (probably just had to descramble or brute it once we found those words)
considering today's image was nothing more than a hint yeah
its 77652073617665206F75 if we correct for spacing
"we save ou"

niceeee
whipsers does this help us at all my brain is numb
Same.
no im just restating stuff you guys said
doing it and formatting it like that just helps my brain cells rub together
ah bless
mmmh
what if we have to take another look at those weird ass heads the lost acc sent a while back
this might be a way to remind us
ugh it's midnight here and my back hurts from hunching over lmao. i gotta go to bed. nighty night bois
see you eli
Im taking break on in game invesigations for awhile too, hope to resume next sunday/monday with you folks.
uhhhhhhhhh toc
we = 0x776520, 0o35662440, 0d119 101 32 save = 0x2073617665, 0o10071541354624, 0d32 115 97 118 101 ou = 0x6F75, 0o336724, 0d111 117
Us after investigating ingame for like a week and finding nothing but a flower.
We have fun lol
It was fun, yeah.
We will eventually find somthing, like the broken ATM might have somthing useful or the till' dawn
We have stuff to look at, its just 12 in the morning
Now that we have a working clock, yeah.
Mhm, I'm clocking out, ahahahaha, get the joke?

yea im gonna call it here too, got work in the morning. Night boys that was a solid chunk of progress for now, a good foundation to work on tomorrow o7
Yall tore it apart tonight good job
Also the new radio, mabe it holds somthing slowed down or sped up
Wheres that at
I heard music in the entrance, at the cashier
do we have the file number for these ?
Idk the location of said tadio
midnight jumpscare mb
Prob breakroom
thanks dude
The notes say in the gas station
Yeah there's a breakroom in the center of the building
Its not there
I see
I checked the whole thing as soon as thw update dropped, just music at the cashier
It said in the entrance to the gas station in the patch note iirc
“ Added main room radio tune to Gas ”
man, and i really thought i found something interesting :(
I know we haven't fully worked it out as a modern society but has anyone tried reading the hieroglyphs on the big egyptian clock?
I think there were attempts but I’m not sure
I've been reading into the documents and I'll watch some summary videos so far, just trying to understand what's going on here
I assume it's like a hidden, darker backstory involving some group
Yeah, some "Mariposa Lily Organization."
Feed me a stray cat 😂
It seems to be based off the flag of the Isle of Man
Yes
Ok nevermind, thank you
My friend and I are just having fun discovering this ARG
Anyone want to try figuring out if/where 'we will save you' fits into the P1 P2 dialogue?
First person I believe
I feel like it would be more likely the recruiter is saying it i dont remember if he was P1 or 2, at work so cant look too much rn
P1 is the recruit, P2 is the recruiter
P2: Our vow, our life, and yours, fading away. Each flame, melting, dripping, dying. We sing for them, we bleed for them, we mourn them. Unwanted, buried, forgotten, searching for home, to return.
P1: Melting. I want to forget. Hold me. Wait with me, for a while. Just for a minute. I'm not ready to go yet.
P2: That's not how the game is played. The rules changed on you, and where did it bring you? To your knees.
P1: I want to forget, why can’t I forget?
P2: You come to me, impatient, insolent. Begging for deliverance. All in time. We will free you. All will be made clear. All will be well. Just relax. Let go. Breathe. Remember. Nothing is ever lost. Only mulched.
P1: There are no dead ends. Cull the tumor. Flourish. Burn.
Reposted just for ease of access. 'We will save you' might fit in the last chunk P2 says 
yea it could go right after or before "We will free you"
This is like the logo of my region where I live. It looks like the Sicily logo in Italy
Just realized someone posted it before me
Someone's gonna need to make a big recap video once this thing is solved... my head hurts
I can't wait until we figure our why the statue whispers at us
That's one thing I think we can look into more. That and the phones defiently mean something
@fickle storm this newspaper around the map seems to suggest there's possibly more
Remember the song?
?
There's a song related to the phones.
Wait what?
The phones all say 1-555-GEN-ESIS on them.
Thats only related to the song "Jesus he knows me."
Good song by the way.
I usually avoid the statue and telephones. They creep me out. I literally spent like an hour in there once trying to analyse or trigger something. Had the statue just whisper hey to me over and over again
RoN is borderline a psychological horror game
i mean when the story comes out it might be
Yea I think its Jesus knows me or something. I don't know if we're being pointed to that or if it's just a reference. I looked at the lyrics but I didn't see much of anything that could help us
To be honest me neither.
The things that seem relevant to me in that area are
The statue
The symbols on the phone
The ringing
The number on the phone (maybe it's not ment to be a reference to that song)
Symbols on the phone hm? maybe we should get some screenshots.
American psycho reference, I love it
I can find a model of it and upload it here
this 2nd one shows the 2 other symbols on the number pad
could be nothing but could be something
Oh great, I'll look into it.
OHHH i completely forgot that was in the movie!
Yep
So I thought, maybe it as a connection with the meaning of the movie?
15554363747 would be the number you would call if you actually were to call 1-555-gen-esis (don't actually call the number we were told not to)
would say try to get the model of the statue might not be anything
I tried finding that but I couldn't
Maybe someone can run that number through some things but I'm not smart enough to do that lol
I assume you can't interact with the phone?
Unfortunately not
What if you shoot it
Nothing, keeps ringing
Darn.
I just realized that the legs of the spider look like little people lol. was it that obvious all along and I'm just blind? 😆
I never noticed until I saw it blown up huge xD
Are my math buddies taking the weekend off ?
idk what to do 
The binary people ran out of numbers to analyze.
I was gonna check if the thing in the background of the new image matches anything else we have but haven't had time.
👍
It doesn't, at least from what I've seen
anyone mess with the photo? brightness and other hidden stuff in the file if thats even possible? I'm just a number boy, gonna relax a bit but might do some messing around
I've seen the face in the image before im almost positive, I think it was the picture with two guys, one with that face and the other with the really long flower/beak thing and the barcodes on the bottom
Edit: nope im wrong im dumb, maybe elsewhere though
rip dog
I thought that was barbed wire around its neck for a sec MonkaS
Don't worry, it's listed as "prop training animal", must be a fake doge
huh
prescott shot it
Guess that's for when they add ATF officers?
lmao
no, there's a dead dog in the backyard of meth house. it was starved or poisoned
or shot... by the ATF*
no
Laughs in ATF skin mod
Oh god.

do you guys have any ideas about what the most recent hint could mean? i think it's in response to us asking for another breadcrumb/hint last week, so this image and its message should be telling us something or steering us in the direction of solving the original filename
i think the fact that the message is dec -> hex -> ascii, in addition to one of the earlier hints about binary being "on the right track", lend further credence to the idea that the filename is the integer representation of a bunch of ascii bytes. finding the correct integer representation will lead to successfully decoding it as ascii. however, it seems it can't just be octal -> hex alone
i tried interpreting the original filename as a number in base 8-36 and all of them looked like gibberish except base 8 (octal). gwynn has told us that "will y" is part of the plaintext. i feel like we're so close. we have to be missing something really simple
what's this?
Prob his friend code
fml i was trying to decode it. lmfao
What no decoding does to a mf
I feel like somthing is being missed in one of the maps, cant really investigate till Sunday so I hope the others are at it
maybe... i've also been digging around the game files. for some reason extracting audio doesn't seem to work for me tho
we've been at this too long lmfao
I'm still hooked on the "cut away the rot" and the fact that the ending 456000........ gets removed/transformed entirely, and everything before that gives you the "will y" and the 456000..... serves no purpose in solving it, maybe translating that will get us somewhere?
i tried removing a bunch of zeroes before doing the conversion and it gave me Garbo
im just Tired
wait now translating it without the 456 onward just gives "will" pain
lole yeah
I think im gonna let my brain recuperate over the weekend and write down some ideas that cross my mind and I'll get back into the thick of it at the end of the weekend lol
i really don't know what to do about those goddamn zeroes. if the number of zeroes itself isn't information, then the zeroes are just a lack of information
